what's up guys you're watching Jays two cents and this holiday season if you're looking at building your first computer or maybe asking for a computer from Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or whoever it is that you celebrate this holiday season it could be a little bit daunting trying to pick parts from all of these boxes and all of these motherboards and processors and just so much it starts to cave in on you and you get terrified and you don't know how to choose your birds so today I'm gonna walk you through the way i would spend a thousand dollars to build your own pc now of course there are a lot of these guides already all over the internet I mean you've got great youtubers out there already giving you this information but people have been asking me for my opinion on holiday builds and parts guides and the way that I would spend certain amounts of money so that's what we're doing today we're taking a look at the way that I would spend a thousand dollars now there may be some parts on here that you don't agree with there may be some parts on here that other youtubers have said don't go with that I don't like it and that's perfectly okay this is entirely my opinion there may be some parts on here you choose to change with something else and maybe you you like the bill but there's a couple of things you would change by all means do that use this is kind of a backbone or a template to build your own computer and choose some parts this holiday season and take it for what it is this is just the way that i would spend the cash okay now for the processor on this build I decided to go with AMD 8350 no whoa before you start throwing rocks at me and light and pitchforks on fire hear me out on this a lot has changed over the last year when it comes to processors an AMD although they had no intentions of competing with Intel when it comes to the high end gaming PC market kind of accidentally fell into the position where they are now but with the new consoles using eight core AMD ap use and it really opened up a huge future market for eight core and six core processors to where now developers are really able to tap into the unused power of hyper threading and eight core processors today so what happened with AMD really got kicked up into the into the higher end market with these processors and when it comes to streaming and encoding the 8350 was already a very strong processor so before you start saying no AMD's for poor people jerry AKA bartok leaves i'm talking to you bro the a.m dat 53-54 less than 200 bucks now is just really hard to beat and I can't really recommend an Intel build that's a 4 core processor without hyper threading in this price point price the performance of AMD is just amazing now to keep the 8350 cool which is kind of a notoriously warm processor I've decided to go with the hyper 212 evo from coolermaster is very well tested tried and true cooler that's been all over the market used on so many different builds and the reviews just speak for themselves it's just a beast of a cooler it's so well proven just go look at any reviews on newegg or any other website and you'll see that you're not going to find any other cooler that it's this strong for this inexpensive now for the motherboard on this build I would go with the asrock 970 extreme3 some people may be wondering why I would choose a 970 chipset over a 990fx well the bottom line is if you're not planning on using multiple graphics cards in the future then 990fx chips that really is wasted now this build four thousand dollars isn't going to be heavy overclock or friendly so because of that you could still do a mild overclock with the 970 but you save about thirty to forty dollars over the 990fx models up as rock and other competing brands it gives you all the features you need it's got a great built-in Nick cards got decent built-in audio plenty of USB 3.0 plenty of USB ports and it's got all the functions that you would want for a gamer build and has some advanced usage in there that you may like to use like the UEFI BIOS and some things to get familiar with before you start bumping up to a higher end motherboard for the price it really can't be beat now for the RAM in this build I would personally go with the adata xpg version 2 or v2 RAM and we're going with 8 gigabytes 2 x 4 gigabyte sticks I chose this ran because the xpg line is a gaming line of ram and a data's really been pushing hard on getting their gamer line up and running and the reviews on this Ram is actually very decent and it's not that expensive whatsoever Ram is one of those things where if you've watched my video about how much ram do you need and how fast as you ram need to be you don't need to go with extremely fast Ram so that's why in this build I chose going with 1600 megahertz so for data transfer and hard drive storage on this build I decided to go with a main drive it's an SSD it's 128 gig Samsung 840 Evo an amazingly fast SSD with 500 gig write and read speed that's incredibly fast now because we know 128 gig solid-state drive is not even a pipe dream for having enough space for all of your programs and gain you're going to want to put in this build we're gonna have to put a second hard drive in here for some of the less common stuff that's used in your computer and games that maybe you don't care how fast a load versus a long loading game like Skyrim or battlefield so for that I decide to go with the Barracuda 7200 rpm it's a one terabyte 64 megabyte cash hard drive it's very very fast Barracuda is a very proven name 7200 RPM is a very fast mechanical drive and it's going to be more than the boom to give you the read/write speeds you need to access your commonly used programs and games without really slowing down your system at all now we move on to the part that I know you guys have been really wondering about what graphics card with Jay put in a thousand-dollar computer well this is the perfect time for you to be building your thousand-dollar computer because now companies like AMD and Intel are really starting to fight it out and compete because there's no longer a gap between Nvidia being top dog or AMD being top dog all the cards are out on the market it's the holiday season sales are coming up and all gloves are off when it comes to the aggressiveness of putting a traffic's card in your system at a price that's not going to absolutely break the bank so for this thousand-dollar build I chose to go with r9 280x from gigabyte later on this year when games like Battlefield 4 start adopting mantle and coming out with updates that are mantel friendly you're gonna start seeing AMD inch ahead and inch ahead at the same price point once again this is actually good news we need graphics cards to keep leapfrogging over the top of each other because it forces prices down it forces a price competition which really makes us as consumers win in the end we got better quality products at a lesser price because they want your money and my money and Barnacle eases money I mean look at his man room it's got plenty of money to spare so that's what I would do I would do the r9 280x from gigabyte and I chose to gigabyte model because it's got a very quiet fan arrangement on there it's got a very beefy cooler and it's going to give you quiet and very fast gaming for only three hundred bucks now when it comes to a case for this build I'm recommending the n600 mid tower case from coolermaster now the reason why I choose this case is that has lots and lots airflow you're going to see that on my channel in a bit as I'm going to be doing a review of this case but hear me out on this for 90 bucks it's got more than enough options it's at plenty of hard drive space it's got lots and lots of airflow it's got an amazing window on the side so you can show off all your components and it's got more than one mounting option for a 240 millimeter radiator if you want to go with an all one cooling unit you can put it on the top you can put it behind the motherboard or not behind the motherboard behind the hard drives and it gives you a lot of flexibility for building a system it's got great cable management it's all black inside and out and it's just a very sharp case now with that said if you want to go with a different case as long as you keep it 90 bucks surrender you're going to keep this build at a thousand dollars and you won't go over choosing a case is very difficult you have to look at it all the time you look at it whenever you turn on your computer and if you don't like the way it looks style-wise then you're not going to feel as passionate about your computer is if you went with a case that just looked freakin badass so just choose a case that you feel you like in that category but check out the end 600 it's definitely worth a look now because we know that computers use a lot less energy and then it's actually advertised on the recommended wattage from a lot of these companies you know you can get away with a little bit smaller power supply than what some of the graphics card manufacturers actually recommend go and check out my video on how much power your computer it's really using wattage wise if you have no clue what I'm talking about now with that said I recommend going with the seasonic 620w it's an 80 plus bronze rated power supply it's semi modular you can take off cables that you don't need for peripherals like extra hard drive cable SATA cables 4-pin molex whatever but you are going to have the 24 pin and the CPU power pad and probably the PCI Express cables hard-mounted to the power supply and you can't take them off but what does it matter you can't run a computer without him anyway so it's not a big deal going with semi modular now if you're familiar with the name Steve sonic at all they make a lot of the power supplies on the market that get rebranded for other companies so it's a true tried and tested brand that you can definitely put your your confidence into and know that your computer is going to run efficient and it's a quiet power supply and it comes at a great price the last piece in this build is kind of an optional piece many people are not using them anymore myself included and that being an optical drive so for this build I just chose a basic asus optical drive that came in at about 20 bucks you want to save 20 bucks and you know how to install an operating system off of a flash drive then be my guest and go ahead and do that but it's nice to have an optical drive in your system if you're still trading disks or programs with other people and in are you doing disk backup or burning of movies or whatever you're obviously going to need an optical drive so that's a twenty-dollar part that's kind of optional I may have noticed that we don't have an operating system listed in this build and a lot of people may be screaming at the monitor saying right now it's not a thousand dollars it's not a thousand dollars because you didn't include an operating system well here's the bottom line you have choices when it comes to operating systems you could go to the hackintosh you could go with Linux you could go with windows and you need to make the decision on what you're going to do for an operating system now Linux is free and it's starting to get a lot of support from gaming developers and in the future we might start seeing some real Linux support so but for now windows is going to be your best fit so if you have to go with windows and you want to add a hundred bucks to this bill there are other ways of getting operating systems I will never be an advocate for software piracy so please don't ask me how you could get windows or any other operating systems for free not going to help you not even gonna respond so there you have it guys this has been my two cents on how i would spend a thousand dollars building a computer right now in november now that's not to say this is a first time builders build or an experience builders build this is where i think you're going to get the most bang for your buck for a thousand bucks so even if it was my thousand dollars versus your thousand dollars this is exactly how i would spend the cash i know you're going to feel extremely overwhelmed on what to buy which is why this holiday season i'm going to be bringing in a series covering every aspect of a computer motherboards processors cases keyboards mice and we're going to do complete buyers guides on every single piece of a computer we've got a lot of companies that are actually chipping in some product here so i can give you some first-hand examples and reviews of what you can expect when buying stuff right now this 2013 holiday season so i'm gonna get on out of here guys I've got some things to do I'm going to some battlefield 4 and i hope you guys have enjoyed this video you know what to do with it if you liked it you also know what you can do with it if you didn't like it i'll see you guys next time on JC sense
