Neutron Gaming PC Build - May 2014

2014-05-07
hey guys this is Austin and today music video going over my latest gaming PC build the neutron when putting together the neutron I wanted to build the best all-around gaming PC without costing a ton of money that's why we've got a quad-core CPU solid graphics card and an SSD all in the case that won't take up your entire desk the most important part though is how does it handle gaming to give you an idea of how it stacks up with some of my other recent builds I ran them all through the 3d market firestrike benchmark this is a great general test to see how the graphics compare and as you'll see the neutron nicely shows off what it's capable of open up battlefield 4 and you're looking at a very playable 47.8 frames per second even on full Ultra settings at 1080p jump over to Metro last light another excellent looking game that also happens to be a lot of fun and the neutron delivers just over 42 FPS on very high settings another game that delivers awesome graphics is BioShock Infinite where we're also able to play at 1080p on Ultra at 55 frames per second load up grid 2 and not only is it totally playable on Ultra but you can even crank the resolution up to 1440p without the system breaking a sweat now let's crack open the neutron and see how many corpse we find inside that was joke that no one's going to get yeah for the case we've got the Rose well line em which I've used a few times in previous builds as it's a great choice with a pair of 120 millimeter fans enough room for a micro ATX motherboard there are actually two versions of the line em the standard model and the a model which I have here the only differences are the lack of an LED for the front fan and one fewer USB 3.0 port on the a version which makes it about technology per the choice is up to you but either way you're getting a solid case for the processor we're looking at an Intel Core i5 44:30 a quad core CPU based on the Haswell architecture while a core i3 would get the job done moving up to the core i5 means you get 4 physical cores which can definitely come in handy especially in some of the more demanding games on the graphics side we have a Sapphire Radeon r9 270x an excellent mid-range graphics card with 2 gigabytes of memory and a factory overclock with 270 X is a great choice I saw earlier it handles 1080p gaming no problem for the motherboard we have an MSI be 85 mg 43 this is a great micro ATX board with USB 3 on the SATA 3 and support for up to 32 gigabytes of memory speaking of for the neutron we've got 8 gigabytes of g.skill ripjaws RAM clocked at 1866 megahertz which should be more than enough for now while still leaving room to upgrade later on for storage we've got both an SSD as well as a standard hard drive this really is the best of both worlds in my opinion is you can install windows and other programs onto the SSD and everything else can go onto the hard drive samsung has made some excellent SSDs for quite a while and the 840 Evo was definitely no exception as with 120 gigabytes of capacity you've got a decent amount of space put it together with a one terabyte Western Digital caviar blue and you've got yourself an awesome set up that isn't actually all that expensive one thing I will mention is that to fit both drives into the case you'll need to also grab a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch adapter as well the SSD can be mounted on bottom there's no room to actually plug it in speaking of for the power supply we're using a 500 watt corsair CX 500 so if you guys have watched these gaming builds before you know I'd really like to use these supplies and not are they going to be fairly affordable but they're also very reliable and most importantly they're going to have plenty of power to handle this system today as well as with some additional upgrades later on put it all together and you get yourself an awesome gaming rig that's perfect for 1080p as always you guys can find a full parts list in the description of this video over on my website anyway I've got to give a big shout out to Hulu Plus for making this video possible you've probably tried Hulu on your computer but Hulu Plus is so much more with Hulu Plus you can watch current season episodes of your favorite shows like The Colbert Report shark tank and Family Guy along with every episode of shows like Naruto South Park and Doctor Who along with add free movies and kid shows one show you guys absolutely have to check out is cosmos which is fantastic and the entire season is available on Hulu Plus for only $7.99 a month you can watch your shows anytime anywhere considering this like a quarter a day it's so worth it just go to Hulu Plus complex often and you'll be able to try it out for free for two weeks and help support the channel that's who stomp slash Austin so go check it out and start streaming TV today anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
