so what's going on here today well you asked for it and we brought it baby that's right a two thousand dollar gaming system based off the NZXT Manta we also say we give a special shout to the person who named that system and that's right this person is Stephen Lance so Thank You Stephen Lance this is the manticore a two thousand dollar gaming system with a lot of finesse starting from the outside in we see the NZXT mats a mini ITX case this is the case that was featured in our what is a curved case video and you guys had a lot of great comments to say about it for the mini ITX motherboard we wanted something very high-end so we went with the Asus Z 971 plus this is a mini ITX motherboard without a whole lot of features on a small board the CPU is the Intel Core i5 4590 this is a three point three gigahertz CPU geared for the LGA 1150 motherboard series for the memory we wanted something that had just a little bit of bling in it so we chose the crucial ballistic tactical tracer now this is an 8 gigabyte kit featuring 2 4 gigabyte sticks its ddr3 and the speed is 866 megahertz but the really cool thing is they light up now as far as the CPU cooler goes I wanted something that I knew would fit right inside the Manik case so I got the X 41 now this is a 140 millimeter all-in-one liquid cooling system that does a great job one caveat however about the Manta case in itself there's really no room to install a full sized hard drive it's pretty much 2.5 drives if you want it to look nice and clean so in that same vein we chose a 2.5 drive that we thought would be suitable now I know some of you people out there gonna freak out the price of this and everything else but I wasn't really looking to make this as a save money system just to make it a really cool system so I chose a kingston hyperx 3k for an 80 gigabyte drive from my boot and storage but the thing is with speed transfer rates at what they are using USB 3.0 you can pretty much just hook up an external drive and put all your games and everything else on that and you'll be absolutely fine even though you guys can barely see it powering this system is the Silverstone tech Strider gold s series now this is a 750 watt power supply that's rated at 80 plus gold it also features a fully modular design which makes it very easy to work with for the video card I pretty much chose as high of an in video car that I thought I could get inside this system this is an EVGA 980ti I just want the reference series model cuz I didn't need anything really bad outstanding because I knew I couldn't put an additional water cooler inside this system and also I know many of you people out there have said many many times in the past I'll wreck if it doesn't have an OS it's not a full system so we've also included Windows 10 on a USB stick in the pricing as you can clearly see though this build is very nice and very elegant all the cable management was done well everything inside the system is completely clean and nice making that air flow completely non obstructive and the really cool thing about that Crucial Ballistix memory are the green lights that are flickering whenever the system is on you guys can also see the SSD mounted on the back wall and when we spend the system around and we remove the back panel you guys can see that all the cables sit back there very nicely all nice and tucked away for no-one to see making a very clean build overall so that's the system build what parts are in it what it looks like but how about some benchmarks so there she is folks the manticore a $2,000 gaming system with pretty much all top-of-the-line parts if you guys actually check it out every single one of those parts has great reviews now I want to say right off the bat I wasn't trying to design this system or build this system on any type of budget I was unlocking and saying oh I want to be this price or another I just pretty much wanted to be pretty much the best part I could get my hands on the reason I didn't use 16 gigabytes of memory is I just figured for just gaming and stuff eight gigabytes always seems to be enough now I was really trying to at the end when I started looking at going okay we could probably keep this thing under 2k so we just went with that amount of memory now I know you guys out there I'll have oh my god I could do this with this I could do that I could build that feel free I mean go ahead you guys start your own channel do whatever you want it's all good with me you know I love you guys all the way around but for this particular system we wanted something that was really nice and then that of course a badass system it scores great it runs cool it's very very quiet even when it's on it runs very almost silently cuz we kind of have the fans turned down but still I think if we turn the fans at the full blast the temperatures will actually go down even more but I kind of like my system to run in silent mode as much as possible that won't have to hear it I'm sitting there all I want to do is work or play my games I don't wanna hear a bunch of fans none of that going and like I said 980ti is pretty much the highest card you can get if you're looking for a single GPU right now and you want to stick with you and video stuff you want to go through the md card use something different in your build but at the end of the day hey this is a 2k system I like it once again the guy out there man and Steven hey thanks a lot forgive the name this system if you watch this video and you see me well send me an email and we'll work something out most the time everything's done on Twitter though so if you have a Twitter thing it's easier to contact me there so that's it thanks very much for watching we appreciate you folks being here would love to hear your comments down below and the last thing I want to say is that you know I know that that SSD is very very pricey but they sometimes go on sale a lot that a particular Drive was on sale for 199 dollars just a week and a half ago and I'm sure it's gonna go on sale again so you know you can get a fourteen eighty gigabyte drive out there for much cheaper but a four and 80 gigabyte SSDs very very fast and like I said with USB 3.0 those transfer rates are very very fast so looking at external drive you'll be just fine and one last thing before I bounce a tear since the case is NZXT and the x41 is NZXT if you guys want to completely control and monitor your system when you're not at home or even at home you guys should check out NZXT cam it's pretty cool now down below I'll have links to all of these parts and the NZXT cam and I'm Ehlert we'll see you guys back from checking tomorrow for more tech
