I know we cover a lot of hyper premium stuff on this channel gtx titan XPS Extreme Edition CPUs and the like mostly it's for the wow factor because you guys seem to love that stuff but that doesn't mean that that's what any of you actually buy so what does the typical LTT viewer buy to find out I went through our entire Amazon Associates report for last month all seven thousand six hundred and ninety line items of it to find the most popular PC components in the list and put together what I'm calling the viewers Choice Award computer I also found some other really interesting stuff in there you guys be freaky intel skull canyon nook features a 6th generation Core i7 quad-core processor and Thunderbolt 3 learn more at the link in the video description the CPU was a shocker I said very clearly to our I thought gamer heavy audience in last month's video entitled what CPU should I buy but I didn't recommend anything higher than the core i5 6600 K for gamers but more than all other CPUs combined the most popular choice was the core i7 6700 K with half of those folks evidently opting for cooler masters great value if not particularly amazing hyper 212 Evo heatsink to go with it most people chose Corsair Vengeance LP X memory with the mode average speed being 3200 megahertz and the most popular capacity being a single 2 by 8 gig kit for Chrome far and away the most popular motherboard was the Asus z170a which outsold the rest of a Seuss's lineup put together so it looks like then my message about higher-end motherboards not performing any better came through loud and clear with most of you not valuing the extra features on the higher-end models video cards were the most popular computer component purchases among our viewers with Nvidia holding 87 percent of the market share by units and a staggering 95.1% by revenue though it would appear that our viewers at least the ones who shop at Amazon using our code skew heavily toward the high end the gtx 1070 and 1080 combined for over half of all video card sales on our report I mean these are 450 and $700 cards then on the board partner side of things EVGA was alone out front with a soos gigabyte and msi all battling hard for the number 2 spot and the top-selling video card overall then was a tie between the EVGA gtx 1080 TWU gaining and MSI's gaming GTX 1070 maybe putting gaming in the product name really does work at least on Amazon where it's damn near impossible to use the filters to find anything storage was a landslide victory the Samsung 850 Evo outsold the rest of Samsung's lineup and everyone else combined with 500 gigs as the most popular capacity by far this is what happens I guess when Intel just doesn't refresh their SATA SSDs except when they feel like it though in Intel and microns defense Samsung's industry-leading TLC 3d NAND flash and accompanying controller technology makes them very hard to compete against without losing your shirt on every sale most of our viewers unsurprisingly chose the cheaper OAM Windows 10 home but this is cool about a third of them went with retail copies of Windows 10 on a USB Drive instead of a download or a disk something I suspect more people would do if they knew it was available for 30 bucks more than OEM and the same cost as the download one with the more flexible retail copy license terms the most popular power supply was a bit of a surprise to me but maybe it shouldn't have been EVGA supernova 650 G 180 plus gold 650 watt unit has a fully modular interface and a 10 year warranty both of which likely allowed it to handily beat out the rest of the crowded power supply market the case was sort of a tie actually both the NZXT s340 and fantex eclipse p400s sold the same number of units but fantex moved almost as many of the $10 cheaper and nearly identical P 400 so I'm going to give them the win here and it's a really impressive case for 70 to 80 bucks for cooling fans this was another are you guys even paying attention moment for me Corsairs AF Series was far and away the most popular to be clear I've got no issue of Corsair fans but the SP series is better all-rounder I know it Corsair knows it how many AF variants do they even have of their newer lineup so why are you guys buying AF swen SPS are available on two monitors I'm giving the win to a sir with the AR 2 4 th WB ID X IPs 23.8 inch the dell SE 24 60 HX also a 23 inch IPS sold more units but it was one guy buying ten of them in one shot that pushed it over the edge versus individual buyers so one person really liking something a lot doesn't make it popular peripheral wise y'all have very expensive taste in mice with the logitech g502 proteus spectrum on a SteelSeries qck mouse pad taking care of your RGB desk decoration needs more of you went with CM storm quickfire Rapids than any other keyboard though I did notice that keyboard sales seemed a little tepid I mean maybe if you push out enough mechanical keyboards that can handle 50 million keystrokes before they break people stop needing new ones at a certain point and Kingston's HyperX cloud to gaming headset was trailed closely by Sennheiser's HD 598 special edition and the antlion mod mic either of which are great choices for a headphone or headset we've got smart viewers sometimes so let's throw up a summary of our viewers choice PC here while I go over some other highlights we'll have links of course to where you can buy all this stuff in the video description so more of you by Microsoft Xbox wireless adapters than I expected and tp-link seems to be the go-to for a cheap and cheerful Network switch oh and we sold a whopping 5 Swingline stapler it looks like at least some of you have learned that it's better to buy your own than to steal one from someone else for like $12 on the subject though of that last item which isn't strictly speaking tech there were a lot of cool things that I encountered more than enough to do a full segment of cool and weird stuff our community buys on Amazon or maybe if you have a suggestion for what we should call it you could post that below but with all the flak that I take every time we deviate ever so slightly from technology with some going as far as to complain when we talk about tech that isn't pcs hopefully you can understand my hesitation here so let me know in the comments did you like the PC version of this should we start tracking that regularly and looking for trends do you want to see the non tech stuff as a separate segment I promise you I will definitely be reading speaking of
