what's up guys welcome to my monthly builds video for April 2019 this is a monthly series and it's about the very first thing that you need to do if you're building a new computer and that's decide what parts you're going to use so today I'm going over parts lists if you're interested in me actually putting systems together as in build videos check out my builds playlists which I will link down the video's description and then you can actually see me put computers together in the meantime I today we'll be going over three different parts lists and these are gonna be a little bit higher end today ranging from pretty high end around 1,200 dollars up to $3,000 and then an absolutely crazy one that I did that's well over six thousand dollars this is all based on your feedback from last month's drop holes so thanks for voting those of you who did and if you look in the description for this month's video there's another straw poll for next month in May what do you want to see ivory upped quite a few of the options from last month that were popular I also added an HTTP C option in there too so let's dive into it for our first build and this one is about 1150 dollars altogether I'm using PC part picker for my perk picking lists by the way and links to all this stuff is down in the description this one's actually coming in at about 11:20 671 that is after a couple mail-in rebates so you actually end up paying a little closer to eleven sixty or eleven seventy but we have a risin 720 700 these have recently come down in price they were 220 but it's bounced backed up to about 240 still a really good deal for an eight-core 16 thread processor and to get a Wraith spire cooler along with it which will cool it adequately to get you up and running of course you can upgrade that in the future if you want this is a micro ATX build so I went with a micro ATX motherboard did I mention that at the beginning this is the price power size optimized gaming PC I wanted a reasonable price I wanted a lot of power and I wanted it to be not crazy tiny like a mini ITX build but I want it to be smaller so the B 450 M steel legend is the motherboard from asrock which you can get for about $90 I like as rocks budget boards as long as you don't go super super budget if you step up from there from like the 60 $70 boards to like the 80 $90 ones you actually get a lot for your money I like this one because it actually has dual MDOT 2 slots it's got one up there and then another one down in the bottom right it's got four dimm slots so you can upgrade your memory in the future and then it's a p450 motherboard so that unlocked for overclocking so yes you can overclock your processor with this motherboard it's not gonna overclock quite as well as your crazy high-end you know 200 issued all our motherboards but it will allow you to push your CPU a little bit further than it runs out of the box for memory I have a g.skill ripjaws 5 kits 3200 speed you do want to go with faster speed memory for rise in 3200 is a good one to aim for $95 for a 16 gig kit it's so awesome that memory is reasonably priced these days this one is verified to work with Rison most of the reviews say it plugs in just fine with XMP values or you might have to run it at 3000 speed but not too much of a drop-off there for a storage drive we have an Intel 660 P 1 terabyte m2 nvme Drive and with this over like a 2.5 inch SATA SSD because the price per gigabyte for this drive is right in line with the price per gigabyte for standard SATA drives this uses qlc flash memory so for extended writes it's not gonna be quite as good but it is nvme cuz it's gonna give you a little bit more performance than a SATA Drive and for the same price yes I would go for this over a 2.5 inch drive for a graphics card where you have an r/t X 2070 from MSI I was just looking at well priced RT X 27 TS which you can get for below $500 that's nice this has an aftermarket cooler with a dual fan cooling solution and it has a pretty clean looking back plate as well so 485 dollars after rebate for the RT X 2070 Ventus from MSI oh and did I mention this also qualifies for the Nvidia gifts so you can get anthem battlefield 5 or Metro Exodus along with the purchase that's a nice little add-on for a case I have the cooler master master box q 300 L micro ATX mini tire case and I like this case because it's small I feel like it's well-designed it has total ventilation up here for good airflow so that's nice micro ATX and I feel like micro ATX cases don't get a whole lot of love and it's pretty flexible too there's actually a bunch of add-ons and upgrades you can do on this case you can swap the i/o so it can be on the top of the bottom left or right so very flexible pretty unique design stays in a pretty compact footprint too and it's only 40 bucks so hey good deal her power supplies stuck with coolermaster and I'm really happy that we now have access to the NW e-gold 650 cooler master and they've made a lot of solid power so flies in the past but I felt like their pricing hadn't been quite as competitive as like Coursera or EVGA recently but here we have an 80 plus gold rated power supply all black cabling it's got a pretty nice low-key black and whites color scheme as far as the design itself goes and it's a it's a good cooler master power supply you can get it for $55 that is after mail-in rebate so bear that in mind but well done : aster thanks for providing some more competition to EVGA and corsair in this range also added one more fan master fan pro 140 airflow this is actually like a 10 or 15 dollar fan but there's a mail-in rebate on it too so you know four bucks after that's because the case only ships with one fan so you would want to add a second one but there you go guys just under 1150 for this build I think this would do really well for mixed-use gaming of course but also anything that you need to do a lot of heavy lifting with the CPU since you got 8 cores in 16 threads check it out links in the description now guys my next build is absolutely ridiculous both in the price as well as the choice of components so I feel like I need to have a disclaimer this is not a sensible build and probably nobody should realistically put it together but it's based on the fact that I have I have these not just one but two of the MSI r-tx 28 ETA lightning Z graphics card actually one of them is Kyle's and one of them is mine but clearly I need to put both of these in a system and you know do some sort of pun along the lines of lightning striking twice because that makes total sense so I ended up with this build it is six thousand two hundred dollars or so total and that's not including the peripherals and everything so I'm gonna go down this it features a 99 hundred K and dual 20 ATT eyes and a bunch of other absurd stuff and in case you're wondering I've got the cards so yes this is probably going to be the system I put together when it comes to the case the case is probably a placeholder and I might have more on that in the future but still waiting on confirmation so I want to say too much but let's go over the parts from top to bottom starting with the CPU which is of course gonna be the 9900 K I could have gone high-end desktop with this but the 9900 K really has the best single core performance and it's 515 dollars so it's not like it's a cheap product by any stretch either for cooling we have the enter Mac like otech to 360 a millimeter all in one liquid CPU cooler very solid CPU cooler and it's been proven multiple times over that the ninety nine hundred K especially if you want to overclock it you probably can't get by with just the two hundred forty millimeter rad a IO you're gonna want a three sixty one and this one by inter max is really solid just make sure you get the two version of the liquid tech for a motherboard and this is also a product that I already have on hand so that's why I'm choosing it it's it's a six hundred dollar motherboard this is the MSI z3 90 god-like which is their highest NZ 390 motherboard which is pretty absurd in many different ways and has lots of crazy stuff added on to it that I'm probably not gonna even make use of all of it but you know if you gotta go crazy high-end this is the way to go godlike is what msi calls all of their super top-end products except graphics cards those are those are called lightening for memory I have a 32 gig kits the team Nighthawk RGB memory which is RGB and has a really cool look in design and I thought would match very well with the motherboard also a kit that I already I have on hand and 3200 speed since I got two of them it's gonna be a 4 by 8 gig configuration so that'll fill up all the DIMM slots inand look really nice with the RGB LEDs on them we of course need some high-end storage I was looking at the Samsung 970 Pro which is about $300 for the one terabyte version the WD black is like right up there when it comes to performance and it's cost about 50 bucks cheaper so with that I also haven't used the WD black 1 terabyte at this point so we'll throw that in there too I wanted some extra storage so we have four more terabytes of SSD storage in these eight a de su 800 2 terabyte drives so these are perfectly fast inadequate as SATA SSDs go they also have a black housing so if I didn't want to remove that sticker if they were in some place visible I could probably do that 220 bucks on Amazon for these and yes you can still get the Intel 660 pm2 nvme SSD for pretty much the same price as this but you gotta bear in mind with the 9900 K you're more limited on PCI Express Lanes you're gonna want all 16 eight mate go into the graphics cards which means I can't really add a whole bunch of extra m dot 2 devices that's why I went with a single fast nvme SSD one terabyte or the operating system and programs and then former terabytes of SATA SSD storage for everything else next we have two of the GeForce r-tx 180 Ti lightning Z graphics cards from MSI which aren't available for sale anywhere I think it's weird that MSI is having us like talk about these cards since it doesn't seem like anyone can actually buy them not that they're sensibly priced they're about $1600 each at retail or so we're told but you know it's the highest of the high end the top of the top-end custom PCB crazy lighting effects it's got a no LED on the side that shows the performance and the current frequency and temperature and everything so you know it's gonna be a beastly graphics card actually make that tube to beasley graphics cards but getting ahead of myself let's talk about a case and for that I have the in win 915 black which is a 450 dollar case which is expensive that's a lot of money for a case but for an over-the-top $6,000 plus system you want something that stands out that makes it a bit more unique and distinct and this one is actually pretty cool there's a video on Amazon that you can watch about it and when they do unique designs that I appreciate it's anodized aluminum it's got tons of room inside as well as tons of airflow it's got some LED accents across the front USB type-c as well of course which is nice and of course tempered glass side panel windows so I think this is a beastly case I have no plans to actually use this one directly I might hit up and win and see oh it's also got automatic ventilation at the top that's pretty cool that kind of shows you where the extra $250 for this case goes compared to like a really nice $200 case but I'm like I said I'm not a set on the case for this build quite yet so it might end up being this one or it might be a special other one that still sort of in the works but for the purposes of this parts list this would be a perfectly legitimate case to go along with the rest of the hardware that I have chosen let's round things out with a power supply the EVGA supernova t2 1600 watt basically I wanted a maximum amount of power available which is 1600 watts if you're in North America you can't get a better efficiency rating the titanium it's got all black cables although I would probably go with the custom sleeve kit for this build if I was going all out but for now that'll work and it's you know 350 bucks that's that's super for a power supply so as you can see here there's just several products in here that are really skyrocketing the price the motherboard being about $600 to $1600 graphics cards for about 3200 dollars total and then to a lesser extent the case and the power supply so let's see if next I can do what you guys asked me to do and do a $3,000 high-end gaming PC setup that includes not just the computer but also peripherals so mouse keyboard headsets and monitor and for that I have this build which is also like the description $3,000 full PC gaming setup and what I actually did was I started with that ridiculous 6000 ish dollar build and I was like what can I cut down from that to make a reasonable $3,000 build and also fit in everything else I came in a little over I'm at three thousand sixty one dollars total after rebates hope you guys will forgive me for that but this is also a really really nice build we have an i7 8700 K so I stuck with Intel to keep the high-end sheen going I guess although you could build the system for probably three four hundred dollars cheaper by going with an AMD platform they need 700 K six cores and twelve threads versus eight cores and 16 threads on the 9900 K but it's also three hundred and seventy dollars versus 515 to 525 doesn't come with a cooler so we need that we have a be quiet dark rock for which cost about 75 bucks 70 to 75 which is a lot for an air cooler but I like air coolers because you have peace of mind of never having to worry about leaks or a pump failing this is also a really nice-looking one it's all black and it performs really well so you'll be able to overclock your 87 or 2k with this no problem for a motherboard I stuck with MSI to sort of have a comparison option here and this is the MP g z9 d gaming so you still have a Z through 90 chipset it's still a very well-built board that you can overclock with and everything it still has RGB LEDs and four dimm slots and you know all of the basic functional stuff that you'd want on a motherboard it's even got a USB 3.1 gen2 front panel connector it's just about $200 or 185 compared to $600 for the god-like that seems like a reasonable trade-off to me for the memory I stuck with the same kits of team Nighthawk it's just a 16 gig kit two by eight gigs instead of 32 of course you could easily pull that up just double the price for storage I just have a single one terabyte SSD which should be just fine for an operating system and plenty of games to get you going and of course you can add more in the future if you want here's another great nvme SSD deal the crucial p1 one terabyte which is five bucks cheaper than the Intel 660 P it says it's on sale right now for a limited time but it appears to be about hundred five bucks in multiple locations so keep an eye out on that one as well as on all the an alternative to the Intel 660 p4 a video card I used the parametric filter because I was like I really want to try to wedge an RT X xx atti in this build for $3,000 it seems like something that would be possible so I wedged it in there with the cheapest one possible now theoretically you should be able to buy a 20 80 TI for $1000 but that's a bunch of poppycock because as you can see cheapest one is $1,200 surprise surprise the entry-level price for the Nvidia founders edition you can at least get an XC gaming version for that much but I just added with the parametric filter here so whichever 20/80 TI is the cheapest is is the one that will go into this build for a case we have an $85 fantex Eclipse comes with a couple fans tempered glass solid case solid build quality yes you could spend fifty or hundred bucks more but it's not gonna make a huge difference to be perfectly honest for a power supply we have Corsair txm 650 watt 80 plus gold certified this one semi modular black cables 80 plus gold 650 watts and about 60 bucks after mail-in rebate the the cooler master one I used in the first build that you could also swap in here just as easily and then of course the peripherals so for that first off I wanted to choose a monitor and basically I wanted ultra wide because if you're gonna be full time gaming I feel like the ultra wide is a really nice experience right now I also want a 34 40 by 1440 as a resolution because you can actually push really high frame rates on that resolution it is fewer pixels than 4k especially if you have something like a 20 atti so ultra widescreen 34 40 by 1440 and then free sync support at least so we can connect that up to our in video based graphics card to still have adaptive sync because we want that I was trying to go for a really high refresh rate like 144 Hertz or so like this you monitor I have behind me but these still cost a little bit more this one's about $1,000 I went with this asus rog Strix XG 3 5vq which is an asus monitor really high quality it's part of their rog series it's seven hundred and fifty-five dollars right now hundred Hertz so not quite as high refresh rate but hundred Hertz with adaptive sink is actually a really nice refresh rate too so nice specs all around with this monitor of course if you can tack on another 200 250 H dollars or so I do think this LG behind me would be an upgrade to that so I'll post a link to my video on that monitor in the description too rounding things out we need a headset and a keyboard mouse the HyperX cloud core gaming headset you can get for $70 has a very nice set of cans as well as a mic that sounds pretty good you know there's a lot of crappy headsets down in the 50 plus dollar range this one's actually good they have higher-end versions of the HyperX cloud set that have a few more features but was trying to come in under $3,000 so I think anyone who gets this will be happy with it finally I have the cooler master master keys like l gaming keyboard and mouse combo which you can get for about $56 this has a mouse not a crazy high-end Mouse but forward and back buttons it's got an Avago sensor on there it's a solid mouse actually I've been using several of these little cooler master more budget mice for various purposes and like they're just fine like you don't need to spend 100 bucks on a mouse and of course we have an RGB keyboard it is not mechanical it is mem can achill but I've tried this keyboard it actually feels really nice and you don't need to spend a hundred bucks on a mechanical keyboard like this this one also works just fine so getting both of those for $56 I think it's great deal so it around Zout this build and helps everything come in at well just over three thousand dollars so guys let me know in the comments section down below what you think of these builds do you think they're reasonable except for that $6,200 one of course let me know in the comments section if any of you guys are planning on building one of these systems relatively soon whether you go with my parts list directly if you swap a few things out here and there feel free of course to customize these to fit your needs and your aesthetic tastes thank you so much for watching this video though guys once again links in the description and don't forget to vote on next month's builds thanks again for watching and we'll see you next time
