Under $1000 i5-9400F + GTX 1660 Ti Streaming PC

2019-05-24
if you're in the market to build a brand-new PC and you want to get performance price and a balance between low power consumption all-in-one then this build today is definitely going to strike your interests I'm actually building this for a streamer here in Australia his name is Kay Anita and I think he's predominantly a dota 2 streamer but he does play other games but he needs something that can stream at 60fps 1080p but also give him more frame rates because he plays competitively so I'm gonna be aiming to give him 1080p 144 Hertz across a variety of titles lows including fortnight apex legends and of course dota 2 which I also play competitively a little bit even though I'm not as good as popular players but I still like to play a bit of storm spirit mid pull a few snake moves and rock a bit of jazz over my opponents and also to be completely transparent all the stuff in today's video is sponsored out by msi nvidia and intel though with that aside let's get on with this build welcome back to tech yes City and we're gonna go over some of these components quickly because some of them are really good value at the moment for instance in the US the i-5 90 400 F which is six cores 6 threads boost up to four point one gigahertz is currently going for a hundred and 50 USD that is incredible value for money if you want to get some of the best frame rates in games but also still have money in your pocket after you're done building a machine we've also got the NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti from MSI this is the gaming X model so you do get an extra 45 mega Hertz boost over there baseline models you also get the RGB bling and a cooller design does come in with a little bit of a premium though so we'll set you back 310 USD if you're in Australia 469 AUD and then for the mother while we're going with a bee 360 gaming Pro carbon this is a balance between price performance and aesthetics it's got that nice dry carbon fibre look going on as well as addressable RGB control on the board which is going to be important since we are using MSI's own gummy a case this has got RGB control comes included with RGB bling at the front and also with an addressable fan at the rear of the case as well as including three basic fans inside but we're also gonna be adding some fantex collaborated with MSI RGB strips inside so we've got two of those and then for storage we're going with a Western Digital black nvme 250 gigabyte SSD great price performance in Australia pick these up for a hundred Aussie dollars in the u.s. 62 USD and now for backup storage we're going with a 250 gigabyte Western Digital hutch I'm just joking we're going with the 2 terabyte hard drive for all those games that you don't play that often or movies and music that you want to backup you'll have that storage there and then for the ddr4 memo scre that is Russian for memory we have the Kingston HyperX 16 gigabyte kit here with - a gigabyte CL 13 - 6 66 megahertz memory great balance since this board does max out with the CPU combination at these speeds and for powering this build we're going with the cooler master 650 watt MWe 80 plus gold PSU or as I like to call it sue first thing for you cooler we're going with a bit of bling but also saving a bit of money here the cooler master i-71 C which has it all for the 90 400 F since the CPU does pull under 40 watts on max load making this combination a great little choice at 15 USD with that aside here's the build total for you guys in USD and AUD let's get this build underway and then in stole some games and run some tests you since I am passing this build on to a fellow dota 2 player it just wouldn't feel right if I gave it to him in its current form so we're gonna fix that with some tech yes lovin we just finished streaming on this PC here for Canada he is going to be over the moon because the results are really good so these results I am presenting to you guys aren't just benchmarking the PC normally this was while I was streaming to my not so many twitch followers I don't really stream at all over at twitch but I wanted to test it out and we'll live streaming at 60fps 1080p at 6000 kilobits per second so basically 6 megabits per second stream and the results were impressive that was zero dropped frames the whole time so I streamed for about two hours and in that time we got apex legends benchmarked we also got dota2 benchmarked and fortnight just had a corrupt file for some reason it had some problems installing there must have been a problem copying it over from an ass but we then decided to benchmark csgo csgo max settings was getting overclocked 203 average FPS 123 once at lowes 82.1% lows again over that magic number of 144 Hertz if Canada wants to be competitive then this is going to deliver even while is on stream even when it's not overclocked so if you don't want to overclock the graphics card and just keep things quiet like they are now then you're gonna get a 180 average FPS and still really good one 10.1% lows moving over to Apex legends here's where I decided to drop the settings a little bit because I knew the 1660 T ie is not going to get max settings 144 FPS but it's capable of getting really smooth frames if you tweak the settings and so what I did here was I had a blend of medium and high and the stream still looked really good we've got great FPS with not overclocked GPU figures coming in at 118 with great 1% in 0.1 percent lows and then overclocking the GPU went over a hundred and 25 FPS with again really solid 17.1% Llosa so this is some great frame rates just like csgo that is gonna play apex legends with really good frame rates on a 144 Hertz monitor while are you streaming now the last title dota 2 i decided to max everything out here because is it pretty easy to run title but this Canada's main titled and he's probably gonna want to play this with max details and have some fun and since it is upgrading his PC I'm happy to report we're getting 135 FPS with 1% in point one percent loads of absolutely fine and then overclocking it got really close to that 144 Hertz figure getting a hundred and forty to average FPS and the thing is with 144 Hertz monitors I hear a lot of people out there like to just drop the max frame limit down to 141 just two or three fps below the monitors max limit and that gives these smoothest experience but regardless we have here a PC that can play games really smooth with really good FPS while you're streaming but also not use a whole lot of power and the numbers we got when the CPU and GPU were stressed in the game was just over 200 watts and then the extra wattage added on top when we overclock the GPU was only 12 to 13 what's really impressive figures considering its going to stay quiet it's gonna stay cool and the most I got out in terms of heat out of this thing was lukewarm air when I put my hand behind the case when we're playing some games for quite a while and honestly in closing I'm just blown away by this whole build in general everything from the price performance to the actual looks of the build itself has come in really good I mean the gungnae 100 for its price so you get 4 fans included tempered glass and the build quality was really solid and in the i5 9400 after that things using like around 40 to 45 watts power while you're gaming but still giving you really high clock speeds across six cause so that's impressive and then the 16 60 Ti is actually in my opinion the most powerful card out of the whole GTX and r-tx lineup because it doesn't have the RT X features but it cuts down the die size and with that they're using GDD are six memory as opposed to the GTX 1650 and the 1660 so it is in my opinion the most efficient out of the bunch and you get that latest Nvidia encoder which for streaming increases the quality and as we saw in these benchmarks really gives out a good experience so there it is with this bill we've got the price on point we've got the looks on point and we've got the performance this combo is definitely one to look out for in 2019 I'm sure Kay Anita the fellow Aussie dota 2 twitch streamer is going to be very impressed with this build and guys with that said I hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and also let us know what you think of the exposed RGB LED strips do you think they should be hidden or do you like them as they are I'm going for a different look I'm kind of digging what this case is about and it allows you to see those LED strips Plus that cooler matches up with the color sync that I manually can change with the controller included with that budget cooler so everything came together worked out but also if you are interested in building something like this then I will leave all the relevant links in the description below for you guys I do believe that there is some kind of promotion going on with the B 360 pro gaming carbon and the
