The F.P.S. Devastator - $2,000 VR Ready PC Build (2016)

2016-05-05
Hey what's going on Tech fans Eller care once again on TECA tomorrow are you and those people out there looking for the killer system that will play all your games 4k and is completely via already as well let's check out the FPS Devastator right off the bat though I want to address something with all of you guys out there many times all the comments down below or like hey man I can build a way cheaper system by using parts picker and all that stuff and I agree that you probably can do that all the builds that we do here are just suggestive builds for you to do I'm never making any claim in any videos this is the most boobers you know price sensitive video we get stuff in for review then we try to take the absolute best of those parts and then bring you guys a system now this particular system we're doing today will do everything it can double as your workstation it'll render video it will kick ass in gaming and the biggest thing of all the question in everybody's mind is this thing is totally ready for VR my HTC vive is coming and I'm going to have a bunch of different system to test on and compare all the way from low-end systems to high so now though let's check out the FPS Devastator which i think is one killer ass system for $2000 for you fans of razer i think you guys are really going to dig the case that we used on this FPS Devastator build we're using the NZXT h 440 razor edition case now this is a mid tower case it's matte black and has all kinds of cool lighting including a snake on the front a snake on the power supply and neon glowing lights on the bottom overall this case is pretty badass and it fits everything that we need it into the build the motherboard powering this beast is the Z 170 X gaming 7 motherboard this thing has some awesome features including onboard lighting and we were able to actually change the line to match the green of the system bill which is pretty cool some of the features are ddr4 and it's all built for skylight technology the CPU we chose to go with is the intel skylake i7 6700 k now this is one of the latest processor from Intel it's a 4 gigahertz processor and it's completely unlocked out of the box for overclocking this motherboard and chipset requires very fast ddr4 memory so we chose the Corsair Vengeance lpx memory this is a 16 gigabyte kit which consists of two a kick a bite sticks and it's clocked at 3000 megahertz like I said in the very beginning of the video I didn't build this system around you know price I didn't go my god what's the cheapest parts I made it so that it would be the way that I really liked it and I loved to have MS 8 up for my boot drive so I used one from the people over at Plextor this is very very fast you guys all know this is derp to the motherboard and offers really intense transfer speeds and boot speeds in fact this system boots in about nine seconds so it's really quick so for one drive I have a 256 M SATA then I also have a 256 SSD that's for some of my stuff and then last but not least I chose a Western Digital one terabyte black drive from my main storage and the reason that I did this is because the manger games that I play the ones I play all the time I'll store those on the 256 M SATA for the ones I play a little bit less I'll store those on the SSD and for the ones I play you know the absolute least are the ones that don't require a lot of power I just put those all on the hard drive so daughter goes that's the way I choose that my system obviously like I said before this is just suggestive build you can put whatever you want in yours to cut costs and it doesn't matter so please please don't leave a comment down below going oh I could have built a cheaper system obviously I could have - but I'm not going to go into parts picker I use what I have so I just want to be very clear about this throughout the entire video so let's move along let's talk about the power supply now for the power supply even though you can't see it it's from Corsair this is the RM 750 I plenty of power for this system because I'm only using a single video car at this moment in our original configuration we had used a Western Digital blue drive but that drive failed so we switch it out to the WD black which is actually a better Drive in any case in the past a lot of the systems that we built required a total custom liquid cooling system for the entire system was a lot of work this time we decided to go with all a i/o stuff so that everything's all-in-one it makes it much simpler so for the video card we use one by EVG it's a complete hybrid card now this is their 980ti series and it comes with its own liquid cooler and everything right out of the box which once again is geared for those people doing overclocking the major feature about the hybrid card is that it features not only liquid cooling but it also features a fan onboard as well so no matter what's going on your cards going to get cooled properly I also wanted everything to fit inside the case really perfectly so to cool the CPU I chose the kraken x41 and what's cool about this is that the kraken can be completely controlled through the cam software i don't know if you guys have seen this before i know some of you guys would follow channel do but cam is is completely free software from people over at NZXT it does all kinds of monitoring stuff and i you guys are going to be pretty surprising we get to the scoring because a lot of people in the past and said oh my god you know running cam like makes my system go down and I think you're going to be kind of shocked when we get there actually so this coolers looks really really well you guys can see the temps on both the CPU and the GPU are running very very cool even under complete load many people think that using liquid cooling means that it's strictly for doing overclocking and although it's great for overclocking it's also great just for having your system run completely quiet and still remain cool I know a lot of you guys out there probably seen the H 440 case and other builds from other people and one of the great things about that we like is that it has great cable management you guys can see that we were able to get all the cables out of the system so there's no constriction of airflow it doesn't look messy it just looks totally clean almost all the wiring is located in the backside of the case and once you put that case cover on you can no longer see any of that just making a really nice build some other nice things are you guys can see if this system can be completely lit up green so it matches that complete NVIDIA theme I wish I could have got a green motherboard but I couldn't find any so that's why I chose the one I did but if I could have found a motherboard that was all green hell I would have chose that one too but a really cool thing about this motherboard is it has onboard hue lighting so you can turn that light in green and match that Nvidia theme and if you want to access the hue lighting it's done all through the bios of the motherboard so those are all the parts in the build and how the build looks and all the cable management all that stuff and all this comes to about $2,000 I know some people out there gonna say oh my god out the price like I said this is just a suggestive build you can do whatever you want with your particular system but on that note let's now check out the system how cool it runs how it scores and how it does and what we are asking VR the first test that we ran was Geekbench and we ran it without cam on and then we ran the test once again with cam on you guys can see that for some reason with the cam software engaged it actually scored higher in this particular test now the reason that we ran Geekbench twice is we want to see how cam would affect performance when it was enabled and you guys concede that with cam enabled the score was actually better so obviously system performance hits are very minimal at test now let's check out the rest of the scores we ran everything in 4k because obviously if the system is running everything in 4k it almost 60 frames per second or better you guys know in 1080p and 1440 it's going to seriously kick ass and really the main question is how does this thing do for VR is it V already and I think you guys will be surprised because the FPS Devastator will devastate in 4k and in VR if you want to test your system for VR the same way that we did all you need to go is download Steam install Steam and then run the steam VR program it tells you clearly whether your system is ready for VR or not all right tech bands so there you guys have it the FPS Devastator for you guys wandering out there how it came about the name I was watching a movie other day and they had a ship you know it was hmm as something like Her Majesty's Secret Service you know or Her Majesty's service so I thought hey what about you know like a ship type names like FPS Devastator because obviously this system is devastating the FPS as you guys can see from all the scores now the entire theme is build though was pretty much was hate will this thing be able to do VR there's some seriously killer stuff going on this week and that I can't tell you about but it's going to change the face of all kinds of things going on and my HTC vive is on its way so we're going to be all set for VR next week with a lot of different systems like I said everything in this system cost about two thousand dollars if you're interested in this type of system for yourself and you think it's awesome we'll have pricing availability down there below that like button if you like it you know what to do like usual I always want to hear your guys's comments but I really don't want to hear it kind of a saying hey I could have built a cheaper system because nowhere might Thailand anywhere does it say this is a cheap system built for pricing you guys need a really clear to get that head because a lot of times I get a bunch of dislikes and a bunch of people saying hey I could have went over to PC parts picker and did this sure I can go to PC parts picker check the absolute cheapest parts there are and build a system just like anybody else and throw it out there we actually take the time to get good parts in there for review we take those parts then we build the system and then bring it to you and that's why we're going to continue to do it if in the future you guys want me to do some kind of PC parts cheap-ass cheaper build I could probably do that and accommodate you but I try to just make things that are really killer and honestly I try to build systems that I would want to own myself I would be proud to own this PC and I think you would be as well let me hear your comments I'm Eric you've been watching ticking them on like I said if you guys want to check out kam for free we'll have a link down there below I like this software it does a lot of different stuff and the best thing about it is it's free and replaces a bunch of other software with one install see you
