hey what's up guys is Jays two cents and I'm wearing a brightly colored shirt which means we're gonna do a affordable review of a something or another I've told you guys on Twitter now for a while that I'm excited because I get to finally build a desktop computer for my wife and I decided you know why not take this as the perfect opportunity to bring you guys kind of a build log and show you how much power you can really get for under $1000 including the operating system I swear to god everyone out there who does these reviews never put the operating system into the cost but let's face it if you're going to do a Windows build there's going to be the cost of Windows and I don't condone piracy whatsoever unless it's Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland or it's jake and the neverland pirates on Disney but then I'm gonna have a five-year-old so you know whatever don't judge me don't judge me but there are some things in this build that I think I would change if I were you and I'll kind of explain them as we go over the parts now first things first the price I'm putting down in the PC part picker link PC part picker picked a peck of pickled peppers that's actually an hour to say down in the description there you're going to notice that the case that we're using here the ROS will mx2 is $199 I don't recommend a $200 case and a hundred and $79 graphics card because that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense I would prefer you guys buy a hundred dollar case and buy a $279 graphics card that would make more sense but of course because these parts were supplied by our sponsors we'll go ahead and list those sponsors now that's why we are using that case now this build is sponsored specifically by Roseville ADATA Coolermaster EVGA and gigabyte now let's go ahead and talk about the parts and why I chose them and I'll tell you where I would kind of move around the money just a little bit if this were your build to get the most out of your money graphics cards I have two of them sitting up here obviously 750ti is do not go in SLI I honestly don't know which one I want to use and you can watch both of those reviews to find out the positives and the negatives to both and you can see why I'm a little bit horn the end of the day we'll see which one to end up putting in there and you can make your own decision for the motherboard I am using the gigabyte 990 FX au d3 motherboard best mother part on the market for a 990 FX chip set and a 8 core processor from AMD if you use an 80 320 or 80 350 I don't think you could find a better budget motherboard period I've seen them go for as low as a hundred and twenty-nine dollars and that is amazing it says the revision 4 has the better heat pipe in there so you're not going to have any of the vrm or Northbridge cooling issues that some of the revision 3s had so for the CPU we are using AMD FX 8350 M now for power we are going with the Rosewill high 550 watt modular power supply 80 plus bronze nothing too spectacular about it it is semi modular and didn't need to go overkill on the power supply because this is already a very efficient bill that's going to be using a couple hundred watts total we do have an a data SP 900 128 gigabyte SSD for our operating system as well as a couple of favorite games and programs and then we do have for mass storage a 500 gigabyte Barracuda 7200 rpm Mass Storage driver hard drive and then for ram we do have the a data X PG 8 gigabyte kit 1600 megahertz ram now this build is going to be for my wife and I've already said that a few times on Twitter chances are she probably won't play any games on this and that's going to be entirely depressing to me but I hope that maybe now that she'll have her own computer this might be what it takes to get her playing a couple of games and I'll go ahead and put it out there she didn't enjoy playing World of Warcraft but one day I got her to play it a long long time ago but I know maybe we'll get her playing something I could see you're playing some titanfall ok I can't really say that with a straight face and you laughed over there I hear you laugh yeah that guy's laughing right so it was kind of funny all right guys enough talk let's go ahead and put these parts together we'll do a performance review at the end and then we'll see exactly what less than a thousand dollars with an operating system can get you here with with J's two cents this is this guy that's good and we're the bright shirt so you know you can trust me you okay guys it's been about a week now that the system's been together and I just have to give a huge shout out to the sponsors for this build coolermaster a data EVGA gigabyte rose will you guys are awesome thank you for hooking us up with this machine so that we could do this video for you guys showing what you could get for about a thousand dollars now I did run into a couple of snags with the Rosewill case and I'm going to go ahead and talk about in just a second but first I want to explain why I'm sitting now in a room that looks like it was created in 1963 that's because it was this house was actually built in 1963 I don't own the house therefore I'm not going to remodel it so we're stuck with this really ugly wood paneling but I have to admit it does really good when it comes to the echo in the room of killing the echo so don't judge me when it comes to the walls in this place well they're so ugly okay now that I got that out of my system let's just go ahead and show you the little setup I set up for the setup the setup I set up for the wife she kicked me out of the warehouse this was basically my warehouse where I stored all of my extra parts and things that were too big to go into man cave and set her up with that nice IKEA set up back there with her drawers and whatnot got her her shelf over there to display her knickknacks and you can see the evil MacBook Pro sitting right over there evil temperature-wise it is absolutely amazing now when it comes to the cooler I wasn't able to use the cooler that I showed you guys in the beginning of the video that tpc 6:12 because it's too tall and that was the problem I encountered was the side panel wouldn't snap back on because the tool the cooler was about 15 millimeters too tall so we went ahead and exchanged that for the hyper t4 which is one step down from the 212 and I'm going to go ahead and tell you right now it is an amazing cooler a lot better than I thought it was going to be it has four copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the CPU and right now while overclocked to 4.4 gigahertz on the gigabyte ud3 motherboard here the 990 fxa ud3 i am running a core package temp package core temp whatever they call it of 48 degrees celsius giving me 29 degrees celsius of headroom what does that mean I could overclock farther if the chip is stable enough to handle it but knowing that the wife is not going to be doing a lot of power tasks I decided not to go ahead and do that route and just put it at a mild 4.4 gigahertz overclock at one point four volts on the vcore so good chip regular voltage overclocking got me to four point four with amazing temperatures due to that hyper t4 so if you guys are looking for a cooler that is very inexpensive but allows very decent cooling you have to check out that t4 it truly did surprise the ever living crap out of me now overclocking on here was extremely easy using gigabytes built in UEFI BIOS just went in and put in a couple of values turned off a couple of settings and it was very very simple if you guys want to know how to overclock on this board I might do review later but not in the near future simply because I have too many other things in the pipeline but maybe we'll get around to it but the overclocking was extremely easy it's extremely stable that a data Ram I overclocked from 1600 to 1866 megahertz and it looks like the computer monitor just shut off on me because it's been a long time since it's been touched I promise it's stable guys watch see okay so anyway I was able to overclock the a data Ram very solid Ram that xpg Ram and then the SP 928 gigabyte SSD super solid SSD near performance of the SX 900 it just is slower on the right speed which is perfectly fine because she's not going to be using that right speed really for anything so overall everything was great but if you're looking at doing $1,000 build I still recommend that you take the $200 at send in this case and buy yourself a cheaper case maybe something like 50 bucks or a little bit more expensive a little bit between fifty and a hundred bucks it has the features you need but no extra bells and whistles and take that extra money and put that into your graphics card so that you can have greater graphics performance now if you want to know how the benchmarking of this system did you can pretty much just go and check out the other standalone videos I've done with the graphics card showing you how the gtx 750ti from EVGA performed and you'll see just how well that did but I was more interested in overclocking and cooling in this case with that gigabyte ud3 the revision for everything is super cool Northbridge temperatures are sitting down in the 30s couldn't ask for anything better and that's with a closed up case with no side ventilation that top to bottom airflow with the bottom intake and the roof exhaust is absolutely perfect it's just natural convection in the case does a perfect job at keeping keeping everything nice and cool and with that guys I hope you've enjoyed this video make sure you follow on Twitter if you have any questions about this it's easier to get a hold of me there than dealing with a shitty comment system down here I do have a major project coming up called project red dawn that really should be called project overkill where it's going to have just a beast of a system I mean the cooling loop on this system alone was $1,500 $1,500 worth of water cooling going into this machine so you can just imagine what it's going to be like so with all that said I hope you guys enjoyed the video and as always I will see you in my next video because that's how this works I make a video you watch it and I theoretically see you don't physically see you that'd be kind of creepy maybe I do
