okay so it's no surprise I just totally missed the tape I can't unbox here we go oh I'm cutting the cardboard so it's no surprise that GPU prices have not come back down so that's why this might be more make more sense than ever to actually consider a pre build and what we've got here today is actually a pre built computer by NZXT yeah NZXT actually makes computers did you guys know that so this is part of their build or BLD and you guys can go to their website configure a system and have it shipped to you and the best part is graphics cards are actually pretty close to MSRP alright so here's what we got inside I've not opened this yet an opening on camera for the first time so it looks like we've got a cam is complete monitoring solution through PC it shows you how to plug everything in quick start I mean if you've never had a computer before this might be useful but we don't need that around here we've got an order summary here of all of our specs and we'll talk about that in a sec because I basically just went for the top I wanted to see what the best damn system we could build was sure hope it's packaged well I mean if it can't withstand me tipping it over and can ascend through shipping so we got some extra power cables for our see Sonic PSU and this is the good host I think we know what brand GPUs in there mostly because I mean I picked it so gaming beyond open-world good because I hate gaming enclosed worlds so here's all of our brackets and stuff for the a i/o cooler that's in there and we've got power cable ethernet cable video cable not sure what kind it is is probably gonna be this plate port or maybe an HDMI this will see and that's everything it's in the box no it's the pack dude how fast is that instant though how fast it's instant yeah obviously they use this instapass to protect the internals and the GPU from bouncing around it's obviously got to survive be soft and gentle touch of UPS and FedEx with that said let's go ahead and get that out of here tempered glass side panel so careful and nicely my insta pack is when you put it in there it just expands and it fills out the space there it is everything nice and safe now for this bill that obviously went straight for the top I kind of wanted to see what like close to the best we could build was but they offer Intel systems AMD systems and they keep the parts as close to retail as possible and when we tried to actually piece this system out we found that it was very very comparable to going to like Newegg or something and buying it on your own and putting it together but the best part is you get a warranty with it they only charge a $99 billed fee and obviously get a warranty and all that but getting a graphics card near MSRP is obviously the best perk so the specs that I put in this here obviously it's an H 700 I black because it's NZXT only ends 8 C cases are going to be offered but it's got the Kraken X 62 cooling we got an MSI Z 370 gaming Pro carbon motherboard it's a 1080 TI 11 gigabyte for the win 3 graphics card 8700 K they do offer rise in mainstream like up to a 1700 I didn't see a 1700 X or an 1800 X or any thread Ripper builds but that's because they're trying to appeal to the mainstream rather than the extreme enthusiasm there's no X 399 for AMD so just keep that in mind power supply chose an 850 watt see Sonic 80 plus gold it's got the cable mod 6 + 2 pin base or 6 + 2 basic cable extensions so these are all cable mod cables here so they've got combs on there to keep everything looking nice and pretty we've got 32 gigabytes of g.skill ddr4 obviously in red you can see we went with the red theme because you can also choose the color theme you just you choose the color tab you say I want blue or on black white red and so that will be the aesthetic for it we've also got two crucial MX 500s SDS or 1 terabytes so I've got 2 terabytes of SSD storage there and we've got a samsung 960 Evo m2 is our main system drive then of course the NZXT USB expansion because there wasn't enough USB ports on this motherboard and the cool part was the configurator automatically recognized that and then tells you like hey we have to use a USB expansion port because you don't have enough USB is to run like your NZXT hue and your Kraken and all the onboard stuff so it adds that then of course we have Microsoft Windows 10 Pro but it's a flat $50 shipping to the United States where regardless of where you are so 50 bucks shipped and this is what you get before we get into games and we talk about benchmarks and stuff like that because there's kind of a neat dynamic when it comes to building these systems and fps and all that we'll talk about in a sec I want to kind of take a look at cable management and stuff for here so the back panel just pops off just like any other 700 I and check it out so we've got our USB hub kind of chilling down here we've got our focus power supply our extensions nothing looks like it was just thrown together I mean everything's do its channels so that's a definite good thing we're good when it comes to the build quality don't see anything that really stands out to me that would be a problem so let's go ahead close this back up now let's talk about performance because one of the things that is kind of unique about the BLD service from NZXT is it has an FPS guarantee the when you build the system the very first question they ask you is what games are you going to play and what resolution are you going to play them and then it shows you what the FPS will be based on the settings that you pick so you can kind of give it a target like I want to play pub G in 1080p at 60fps then it kind of gives you like okay here are our recommendations and then you can scale up or down for there so any changes that you make will automatically adjust that FPS now the three titles that I chose for this system were pub G because that's really is still a very popular game I also chose rise of the Tomb Raider just because it's a benchmark that I use quite often and I also chose world of warcraft but at 1440p which is what I chose that was my target with this build 1440p and I wanted like 90 FPS for pub G we're going to test that and see if that's what you actually get so here we are in pub G we're at 1440p and if we look at the settings you can see we are at Ultra on all of our settings right here 2560 by 1440 and we were promised 91 FPS according to the configurator now in the starting area can see we have exceeded that by quite don't you don't get to hit me and run away good go so anyway we are at 125 for but 2027 and 540 good point okay it's much higher than 9 one in the starting zone but we'll see what happens once we're in the game that while we're flying through the air we are in the one 30s and 40s it's the counter is going so fast I can't actually stop it it's another we're on the ground we're actually having to render all of these buildings and things you can see our fps is still over-delivered we're looking for 91 we're well into the hundreds hundred and teens or so it's moving so fast it's kind of hard to see but that's that's awesome because if you were expecting 91 and you were getting 80 well that would be a over-promised under-deliver which is what we're actually not getting here but the thing is the FPS and stuff to be honest guys it doesn't matter if someone else built it or you built it it's still running off-the-shelf components in 8700 K at 1080 Ti our screen is tearing really bad because we're on a 60 Hertz panel but that brings up the point of you know you can tailor your system based on your needs and the games you want to play so you have an expectation rather than trying to watch benchmarks and stuff to figure out well what kind of performance you're gonna get you actually know with something like this now as you can see we're sitting here in this corner and we're sitting like right about 92 FPS 88 I can't really tell it's fluctuating so fast the bottom line is we are we are getting what we were promised and that's pretty awesome and the same thing with rise of the Tomb Raider I mean obviously the performance is there this was a top-tier system build and I wanted to see if it came close to the promised FPS and clearly that's what we're getting this is how you play pub G you hide in the bathroom you wait with a shotgun no cause I'm gonna outside let's talk about pre-built systems for a second it's it's obvious that I'm a proponent for DIY or Do It Yourself and I'm always going to encourage people to do that but there are some times when people just are not comfortable with taking expensive components and taking the chance or risk of damaging something or they're just not confident enough to put together their own system and if that's the way you feel then I have failed but that's okay because that's why system integrators exist now the nice thing about the NZXT or B LDR build services is the fact that everything is off-the-shelf what you see right here you could create 100% on your own if you want to because there is nothing proprietary or special about this build other than the fact that NZXT is doing it for you for a nominal build fee and keeping the parts within a like as close to MSRP as they can get it and we tried to build this on our own through through Newegg and it was very very close in terms of pricing GPU prices are not inflated because system integrators are actually getting the graphics cards for the cost that they would traditionally get them rather than the terribly inflated prices that we're dealing with right now so it makes for the like the first time in history it's actually cheaper to build this system or get it through a system integrator or builder like NZXT then doing it on your own because when we tried to do the pricing on our own we used MSRP for the graphics card which you all know you cannot get a graphics card for emissive MSRP but NZXT can so now you've got this system here that is cheaper than you can build it for which is why we're in a really interesting I want to say exciting and it's good for people who are not comfortable with building their own computers they can get one for a great price if you're looking at upgrading a system or doing a complete overhaul don't go into the pre-built has never made more sense than it does today now that's an interesting place on where we are and I don't think it's a problem though the more gamers we had the more people we have playing games and getting excited about their computers because you're probably gonna upgrade it on your own when it's time is that's a good place that's a whole point of this channel I think NZXT done a great job at building a system that you'd be proud to put on your desk and showcase and show off to your friends and your family and with the NZXT hue lighting system in there you can come up with all sorts of lighting effects obviously I just chose red I wanted a simple red theme and that's exactly how it shipped when we booted it up it loaded into the profile that was set after we did a update so Windows was right there ready and waiting to make us wait with an update but once we got through there went through and tested our games they under promise and over deliver which was great we got more FPS than we were expecting based on the FPS estimator on the configurator and that right there speaks volumes so guys tell me what you think about pre builds do you think we're in a place now where P builds make sense we've got new graphics cards on horizon we know 2018 is gonna bring new graphics cards hopefully from AMD and NVIDIA and I'm curious to see what's gonna happen with pricing as we move forward but the fact that system integrators can get cards for MSRP and not inflating that price and passing it on to the gamer is obviously a good thing so guys sound off in the comments below let me know what you guys think look in the description below you guys are gonna find the link you guys can go and kind of configure your own systems and check it out and again a huge thank you for NZXT for sending the system over for us to borrow and take a look at so we can make this video for you they kind of freaked out a little bit because I went balls to the wall I click the top tier everything is I wanted to see what was actually gonna happen in terms of you know how crazy could we build this system and obviously it can scale up or down well not really up from here but it could scale down to fit your budget and your games and your FPS requests and that's a cool thing that that system alone so it takes out all the guesswork on how good or my game is gonna run you know before you get it and based on what we saw today you probably gonna get more than you asked for so anyway once again huge take you to n64 sponsoring today's video and guys we're gonna go thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one
