today we're building yet another gaming PC this one's gonna be aimed at 1080p gaming because let's face it well we've got all these fancy 4k and even 8k monitors out there who is really gaining on him no one well maybe the 1% of fancy-pants gamers out there but screw those guys it's all about 1080p gaming all right that's where the mainstream is at and wouldn't you know it today marks the launch of a brand-new video card that's just perfect for gaming it's such a resolution this is the AMD Radeon rx 590 specifically the one from XFX this is their new Fat Boy officially the coolest name of any ad board partner card I have ever heard not only is this rx 590 thick where it counts it's also rocking a new 12 nanometer architecture meaning it's got higher clock speeds and better power efficiency than the existing rx 5 80 with a starting MSRP of 279 us you can position this card it's somewhere between an rx 580 and an RX Vega 56 that's on the AMD site if we're talking Nvidia then this card's performance is probably sandwiched between gtx 1066 gigabyte and the gtx 1070 and in that case i would expect this card to produce a fine and smooth 1080p gaming experience at max settings across the board in most titles rest assured we'll take this build for a quick spin once it's all assembled but for now let's move on to the rest of our hardware here we've got an AMD Rison 520 600 this is the non xq 6 cores 12 threads great overclock ability includes a pretty decent stock cooler and it's pretty much one of the best bang for the buck options in the cpu market as of now we're pairing that with a be 450 i horas pro Wi-Fi so we've gone mini ITX here where we're building a small form-factor tower super excited about that but despite its size this boards actually packing quite a few features including nvme i'm not to support we've got intel gigabit lan we've got a tow 2.11 AC Wi-Fi onboard which is great for small form-factor builds and the robust vrm solution is gonna be great for overclocking from memory we have a 16 gigabyte dual channel kits of T force nighthawk RGB ddr4 3000 speed and hopefully we can even overclock that a bit as fast memory frequency will definitely benefit this Rison build for storage we have a 2 terabyte WD black hard drive which has a tried and true mechanical option and for our boot drive we have a 240 gig Toshiba OC ZTR 200 using their in-house BICS NAND flash which offers solid middle-of-the-road performance well maintained a super attractive price per gig powering the system is the coolermaster V 750 fully modular 80 plus gold certified power supply this is probably a bit more wattage than we need for this build but it definitely gives us some Headroom if we wanted to upgrade our CPU or GPU down the line especially because we're rocking such a flexible a m4 platform and we have plenty of room in our case for full-size GPUs if we did want to slot out that rx 590 down the line so finally we have our case the metallic gear Neogene mini it's a mini tower and for those of you who didn't know metallic gear is actually a new line of gaming cases from the folks over fantex now fantex is known for their premium quality chassis and they're really not skimping on quality here but what they are doing is making this line of cases a bit more affordable and more practical for the average gamer I'm excited because I've never worked with a metallic gear case before and I'll be sure to let you guys know what my experience with it is like those are all the parts people links to all this stuff in the description below as always without further ado let's get building this 1080p gaming system for 2018 all right so the build is done pretty straightforward and sucking good so far I actually really like this case from metallic gear slash fan text the Neogene mini has left me impressed so far it's a relatively small case tiny footprint but it doesn't feel super cramped inside there's even room for a longer power supply or graphics card if we wanted to drop those in there's a 120 millimeter RGB fan that's included at the front although you could populate that area with up to a 280 millimeter radiator if you wanted to you can see there's ventilation strips on either side here and there's about an inch of space between the front fan in the front panel of course further testing would need to be done to determine the effectiveness of this ventilation setup here at the front there's also room for a 240 millimeter radiator right where the hard drive is there's also a removable magnetic dust filter behind that area so fan tix is really thought of everything as usual when it comes to case design I do have a big gripe with this case though and that's these two screws right here holding the frame in place they're actually protruding so far to the point where when you mount your power supply in those screws scratch up against the side I guess I could have removed those screws first but it didn't mention anything about that in the manual so most people are just gonna install it like a regular PSU and probably scratch up that portion of their units of course you can't see it so it's probably not a big deal for most people but it does leave a pretty bad gash on there if you don't remove those screws first there's actually no option for mounting your GPU in the more traditional horizontal position in this chassis which I kind of like I'm digging the the vertical vibe here and they even gave you three slots so even if you have a triple slot card you should be totally fine there and with this card in particular we have well over an interest space between these fans and the side panels so that's great for cooling obviously one thing to bear in mind with this vertical orientation though is that it may lead to higher CPU temperatures just because we're ejecting hot air at the top of the card and it's just so it's so close to the CPU cooler there that I would imagine it might raise it a couple degrees and also notice that the card is partially covering the CPU cooler so your CPU cooler high clearance is limited in this case if you are going to be using a discrete GPU around this size there was actually plenty of space on the back for cable management actually right behind the power supply is probably the the most area you have stashing cables the side panel went on just fine after all was said and done the last little thing I'll say about this case is that I liked how they went about covering the power supply cool solution they've just got sort of a pattern design there that matches the front and you don't need a power supply shroud or any other steel or you know whatever it's just it's just very clean it's very clean so I also like the pattern a lot more now that the builds assemble that wasn't super sold on it beforehand but that's the Neogene mini from metallic gear again links to all this stuff in the description but this is not a case review people so why don't we go ahead and connect some peripherals to this thing and see how she games alright so quick side note we have relocated to my house because I realized that the external drive with all my game is on it was at home so just a quick side note there but here we are in GTA 5 with a nice blend of high and very high settings across the board we're using 2 X MSA a and we're getting anywhere from 60 to 80 FPS on average you can see the frame counter at the top left there as we drive through the streets of Los Santos clearly our little rig here specifically the RX 590 and Rison 5 2600 are doing a bang-up job of handling GTA 5 at 1080p at fairly high settings let's see what else I can do jumping into some doom 1080p ultra settings damn you ugly here we go alright getting some really good frame rates here in this feels this feels really quick obviously high frame rates we really benefit a fast-paced game like doom eaten mob bullets mate oh God well that was quick now obviously in any game your performance is gonna vary based on where you are in the game the environment matters you know what's going on on screen but at least in this particular room we saw a very nice frame rate ranging anywhere from 80 to 100 FPS battlefield 1 this is the last game we're testing today oh good anyway we're playing multiplayer because most people who play this game play multiplayer so she's more addictive of a real world experience all right so we're rolling around here 1920 by 1080 this is DirectX 11 so I can show you the fraps counter up top and we're running at the ultra preset oh no nope someone's shooting someone's shooting I just caught on I okay well alright you can see we're getting a strong 100 to 120 fps hundred and thirty in some cases it's not gonna help me be a better gamer though unfortunately Oh maybe it will oh god I spoke too soon what a hacker he hacked right through that piece of air that was between us so it would seem that this system is pretty well equipped to handle 1080p gaming and I'm dead so there it is guys one shining example of a mid-range gaming PC here at the tail end of 2018 I'm actually really happy with how the bill turned out both aesthetically and from a performance standpoint and the RX 590 certainly provides a pretty decent stopgap or so it seems between a gtx 1060 and 1070 I'm sure by now you've probably already seen one or two rx 590 reviews with actual benchmark graphs unlike this video if you have let me know what you think about the new card in the comments be live before you go don't forget to toss a look on this video if you enjoyed it and get subscribed for more tech stuff coming at you really soon thanks for watching guys have a good one and I'll see y'all in the next
