with big games like Grand Theft Auto 5 the time has never been better to get into PC gaming at $800 you've got a system that's perfect for pushing games at 1080p which is why the Neutron 2.0 is a great way to jump into building a gaming PC kicking things off we've got an Intel Core i5 4460 core i5s have always been solid choices for gaming builds and the 4460 is no exception we've got a quad core has well designed clocked adapter 3.4 gigahertz this is more than enough to keep up with basically any game out there paired with our CPU is an EVGA gtx 960 graphics card based on Nvidia's latest maxwell 2 architecture the 960 is supporting 2 gigabytes of gddr5 memory a boost clock north of 1,300 megahertz along with three full display ports of 4k ready hdmi 2.0 port and a DVI connector with EVGA ACX 2.0 cooler you shouldn't have any issues keeping the 960 running at a solid clock speed tying things together is the asus be 85 mg r 2.0 motherboard awesome name aside this is a solid board with support for up to a core i7 32 gigabytes of memory along with eight USB ports and six SATA ports for memory we've got eight gigabytes of Crucial Ballistix sport memory with two Dems running a dual channel mode at 1600 megahertz this is plenty of RAM for today while still leaving two more slots open for future upgrades an SSD is one of the best upgrades you can do to your computer so here we've got a 250 gigabyte crucial B X 100 this might be one of the most affordable SSDs out there but don't be fooled this is about as fast as a SATA Drive gets while still giving you 250 gigs of storage paired with our SSD is a one terabyte Western Digital blue hard drives can't match the speed of a good SSD they still make a lot of sense for storing tons of files and games that you don't want on your main drive for a power supply we've got an EVGA 500 watt unit this was my first time using the supply and I've got to say I'm impressed in addition to having tons of headroom for powering the neutron it has an extra pci lead and an 80 plus rating wrapping the bill together is the brand new corsair 100 our case this is rocking a full sized ATX layout with a big window decent cable management options a nice looking front fascia with dual USB 3.0 port put everything together and you've got the neutron 2.0 but let's see how it performs the big game I wanted to try is Grand Theft Auto 5 this is an awesome PC port of an already awesome game and here the neutron is able to handle it on high at 1080p at just over 60 frames per second next we've got middle Earth's shadow of Mordor which is another game that's a good benchmark for a PC where we're getting 68 FPS on very high at 1080p one of my favorite stealth shooters Metro last light Redux is also nicely handled by the neutron with just over 55 frames per second on very high settings with a quad-core processor gtx 960 potent SSD and hard drive combo all inside course tears sell a new 100 are the neutron 2.0 is a great fit for 1080p gaming as always I'll have all the links you need in the description of this video anyway thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
