I want to conduct a very quick survey and it doesn't matter if you're watching this video immediately after it's been published or three or four years into the future I want you to tell me in the comments what first comes to mind when I say the next phrase x99 got it okay tell me in the comments what you first thought of when I said that for me personally x99 means expensive its enthusiast grade right so Intel delegates that specific platform for people who aren't afraid to spend extra dough but what if I told you you could put together an enthusiasts grade PC for under $1,000 would you think I was crazy I thought I was crazy too until I actually looked at the PC port picker list that I put together and I was a little shocked now there were a few compromises I had to make but they're not substantial the video card obviously was something we had to cut back on just because our processor alone was a little over a third of the entire PC price but that's okay I mean that's something that if you you know just wanted to have a powerful processor for video editing or something along those lines then you would be fine with the rig that we have here so let's go ahead and run through the parts that are selected in this particular list and maybe we can pick up some things that you might be able to change first up in our list is the Intel i7 5820k and I say obviously because well it's by far the cheapest processor you can buy for the x99 platform the next step up would be the 59 30k you're paying around 200 ollars more for a processor that only gives you a few extra PCIe lanes and in a $1000 PC build budget really don't have room for SLI or crossfire even though there's not really words really can't do any of that with this budget so I would only advocate for the 59 30k if you plan on doing some pretty hard core SLI or crossfire again I said it again those aren't words but just you know what I mean the 5820k has six solid 22 nanometer cores and twelve threads thanks to hyper threading I wouldn't recommend the CPU solely for gamers I think it's steered more towards the editor and maybe the person who streams in 1080 or 1440p the CPU would be would be more ideal for you but if you're just a gamer then you could pretty much just disregard this entire setup this is this is just you know what if if you had $1,000 you wanted to spend on something that you think would be useful for you you're an editor or if you're a game streamer this CPU would would come highly recommended here in the studio the processor itself however does not come with a cooler and that's why we've chosen the hyper 212 Evo to cool things down a bit at only $28 and you know its ability to allow for a decent overclock the hyper 212 Evo is pretty much a no-brainer in this case now onto the motherboard things can get pretty expensive when it comes to x99 motherboards so that made our job fairly simple just find the cheapest one that had all the features we wanted we wanted an ATX sized motherboard and that's what we got here we didn't want a micro ATX or even that asrock ITX motherboard for the x99 platform just because if you're buying an enthusiast grade chip you want to have more than one PCIe Lane even micro ATX yeah but the 5820k that'll be just fine but if you ever plan on buying I don't know like a 59 60 X and you want those extra PCIe lanes you're gonna want this extra PCIe slots as well to be able to do you know three and four-way crossfire or something ridiculous like that so that option is available to you if you decide to go this venture and besides I think this is actually cheaper than any micro or ITX motherboard out there anyway so we get full size and we get the lowest price that's pretty nice up next is RAM our CPU takes advantage of ddr4 in quad channel so that pretty much forces us to buy four separate dims and not to dims that we would normally buy in any regular platform I say regular but you know what I mean so ddr4 and we chose some Geils super loose I don't know if it's called dealer jean-guy OGE ion whatever you can look it up on the PC port bigger list but they're white dims and they actually have LEDs in them so that's pretty cool now $74.99 and you're getting 16 gigabytes which is pretty much the bare minimum that I would recommend for an X 99 platform up next is storage and a data is 120 gigabyte solid state drive is pretty much a no-brainer for me I purchased one of these for practically every build I put together and they've all been very reliable having had a single problem with one yet so until that day comes I will continue to prioritize my SSDs with a data up there near the top we've also gone with a one terabyte Western Digital caviar blue hard disk drive for general storage because Western Digital is the way to go when it comes to hard drives and one terabyte should be plenty for most of your movies and clips and some games as well some fairly large games like GTA 5 it's very large game up next is the video card and this is where I said that we did have to compromise a bit in order to keep the total price below $1,000 and we've gone with the Sapphire Radeon r9 380 for gigabyte graphics card if you plan on you know scaling things up a lot maxing out your games and 1080p you're gonna want that for gigs of vram and this card will definitely be able to take it all on without any problem so that's what we chosen for the video card of course you can completely just swap this card out for whatever you'd like I personally I would recommend a GTX 970 at least or an r9 390 at least in this particular rig just because your CPUs not gonna bottleneck anything that you throw out unless you do something crazy like 3 or 4 Way SLI gtx 980ti s or something but for my budget conscious consumers out there this rig should be just fine but if you got the extra $100 I do recommend an r9 390 or a GTX 970 up last on our list well apart from the case is the power supply and we've chosen an EVGA 600 watt 80 plus bronze power supply for this particular rig I have used these in the past they are very reliable and very quiet you won't be disappointed 600 Watts will be more than plenty for this PC even under full load now back to the case for a second I have noticed that when most people put together some pretty expensive rigs and they want to keep it under a certain price point they compromise on the case because they say well that's completely subjective so I'm just gonna put a pretty cheap case on there that way I can keep my price below my target well nay not for me I have chosen a fractal define s because I'm a baller and I was able to keep the price under $1,000 even with this relatively expensive case so yeah you could buy something like this you could buy something like an NZXT s340 which may even be in the list later on if the price for the fractal design s goes up but you can interchange that you have plenty of room for a decent case and that's what I wanted to make sure was available to you all if you decided to put together any particular rig that looked similar to this I know you can't see the TV because it's pretty it's pretty bright but yeah the reboot you're looking at right now you could swap any case out for any other case that's relatively expensive and you're gonna be a-ok there so you're welcome for my sis here in the studio for this particular rig so with all that being said be sure to let me know in the comments below if you even think that an X in the 9 base trig is even viable anymore especially considering the fact that the 6700 K from Sky Lake is out and rivals for the most part the 5820k in most tasks be sure to LIKE the video if you liked it dislike it for whatever reason if you disliked it and let me know in the comments below what you would like to see in the future this is science studio thanks for learning with us
