what is going on all you fellow tech addicts this is js2 sense bringing you one of those commentaries that are somewhat rare on my channel but I like to do them because it sort of gets me playing games and as you can see here I am playing the titanfall campaign which is a multiplayer campaign and I am enjoying this game when I get a chance to actually play it so what do you guys think of that intro they're pretty sweet huh you'll see it a little bit later in the video it was a pretty epic battle the gameplay here starts out kind of slow but then I sort of get into my groove later and I become MVP of this round so go ahead and enjoy this gameplay it's pretty rare when I'm MVP at anything but you know I put out an article on my website the other day Jews who said so icon makes you go and richer today if you haven't been there talking about how Intel has leaked some of the preliminary information on what we can expect with the new extreme series there x99 platform and their new Xtreme 8 core 16 thread Boheme if CPUs and it got me thinking you know the average person is probably looking at maybe building a PC right around now and they're confused on crap what should i do should I wait for this to come out or you know I don't know if I should wait for that to come out or if I have a PC now should I upgrade to it so I've got me thinking rather than talk about x99 and the little bit of information that's on the internet I figured it might be a little more prudent for me to have a conversation with you guys about whether or not it's right for you to upgrade your PC at this current time now when it comes to my timeline on x99 and when I suspect that or speculate that it will actually be releasing to market will be sometime in June of this year right around Computex that is kind of when this stuff tends to debut to the world Computex is the world stage for seat PC and CPU type technologies GPUs and all that stuff it is the world platform kind of like CES for computers so let's go ahead and continue this commentary here what the mindset of everything could possibly change in June for all we know and we do know that there's some more stuff coming down the line with Intel with the Broadwell and their you know their minor has well refreshed so it's I get a lot of questions people asking is it time to upgrade should I upgrade and you know that is a very difficult answer for me to give you a definitive yes or no there's a lot of factors that you have to ask yourself and that's kind of a reoccurring theme in these commentaries that I do about PC components and what's right for you you must be honest with yourself and you must ask yourself a few basic questions the first basic question that is probably the most important question is does my PC currently do what I need it to do it comes down to that people if your computer does what you want it to do then the simple short answer of do I need to upgrade or is it time to upgrade is no but let's face it if we build our own computers and we're gamers we are also enthusiasts which means that we are going to want to upgrade so that kind of brings me to question number two do I need a new computer or do I want a new computer those are two very similar sounding questions that have completely different connotations that go along with them if you're like me and you're doing constant rendering or you're doing a lot of power using with your computer chances are moving up to a next-generation platform could very well be beneficial for you if you're just a gamer or you're not really doing any sort of intensive tasks on your on your PC chances are you would not see any sort of an effect moving to a newer platform not just x99 or any of the eight core sixteen thread stuff coming out from Intel but moving to any platform that be moving from AMD to Intel which I did last summer or moving from a lower end CPU on AMD or Intel to a higher end CPU if you're doing simple tasks like gaming and surfing the internet you're probably not going to see any difference other than you'll have less money in your wallet and at the end of the day you're really not going to see any sort of quote unquote seat-of-the-pants difference of your pewter has a lot of things you guys need to take in mind when it comes to upgrading you may need a new power supply you might need new memory x99 is only going to take full advantage of its new platform on the ddr4 the new ddr4 Ram so you're going to have to take into account you have to buy a new motherboard you have to buy a new CPU and you're going to have to buy new Ram which means you're talking a lot of money and if you're just doing simple stuff like playing titanfall right here it quite honestly would be entirely wasted so what I think would be a better upgrade if that is the situation that you're in would be take a look at your graphics card maybe you should get a second graphics card and go SLI or crossfire with your current GPU and there was that kill by the way we saw in the beginning yeah that was pretty awesome you know for a shitty gamer like me it was kind of cool to pull that off but anyway I digress let's go ahead get back on topic here oh yeah look at that I killed that guy Street anyway it may be prudent for you to maybe upgrade your graphics card if you're running a lower mid end graphics card instead of upgrading your CPU and your motherboard or your RAM or anything like that it could very well be more beneficial for you to upgrade your graphics card because we've already know gaming utilizes your GPU more than any other piece of hardware in your system hands down now if you're finding yourself like me and you're doing a lot of rendering maybe some 3d modeling CAD drawing photo editing Photoshop that sort of stuff you are going to be utilizing the full potential of your computer now I'm currently still on z77 platform which is already a generation behind and we do know that we have a new generation coming out later this year so I'm starting to find myself in the situation of is it time to upgrade as we know when I went to z77 it was like the very last day of that being the current cycle and z87 came out the next day but I knew that going with z87 was not necessarily the right move for me because lacked a lot of the stability with overclocking that I knew I would get with a nice refined silicon that was currently being put out in the 3770k CPU these are things that you also have to take in mind if you like to tweak your computer new like to overclock and stuff it's never a good to adopt the very first round or very first phase of any new platform rollout early adopters you take the chance and you take a risk of getting a dud the bottom line is the the silicon process and the processing of the CPUs just are not nearly as refined as the process matures now we do know that Broadwell is going to be a minor refresh so there's not going to be anything substantial happening with that refresh but we do know that there's probably going to be some new motherboards or things coming down the line to go along with that refresh so you're going to start considering backwards compatibility and what may or may not be happening with that in the arena of motherboards and CPUs so there's a lot going around right now now what would my advice be to someone who's asking me should I build a computer right now my answer to you would be absolutely buy it and build it right now you're not going to be missing out on anything major when it comes to the new features in fact most of us barely use any of the features that are really available to them on their motherboards anyway so guys I know there's no definitive answer that I can give you but I'm going to tell you that if you're the kind of person that wants to have the latest and greatest you have to make sure that you have the money and the deep pockets to go along with it it's going to be expensive there's no way you can stay on top of PC technology because you're going to be seeing constant refreshes which means you're always going to have a huge diminishing return on your performance the dollar ratio now I suggest if you're looking at building a PC right now you go ahead and build it and you just don't look back take your PC do what it is you built it to do whether it be gaming rendering or whatever and enjoy it you're not going to have a lesser gaming experience because you decided to go ahead and build now versus waiting a couple of months from now if you decided to buy something that was a couple of years old that's a little bit different story so guys this has been Jays two cents here just telling you if you were looking at building a PC don't wait because all you're going to do is constantly find yourself waiting if you're afraid of missing out on the latest and greatest now before we go ahead and get on out of here I want to just tell you I did end up as an MVP of this round and I'm very proud of that and rather than get to the drop ship I decided to go ahead and take advantage of this Titan out here that just found himself kind of out in the middle of nowhere and check out the way that this round ends I think this pretty much just says it all he had no idea he was being rodeoed and I'm just plugging away at him and I'm racing the clock to see if I can get him killed before the timer runs out and I think you guys know the way that this is going to turn out boom challenge completed Jay's $0.02 MVP it rarely ever happens but hey I'll take it when it happens guys I hope you've enjoyed this video I hope it helped in some way and if it did you know what to do hit that subscribe button and as always I'll see you in my next video
