My seventeen year old son is a huge fan of pc gaming and over the years has contributed to the cost of lower to mid range upgrades. This spring I asked him for his wish list of gaming PC setup, as dad in my late 40's most of my gaming was on consoles or arcade machines. Little did I know how expensive the components could cost for a top tier gaming PC, I had planned to surprise him for Christmas but was worried about having part/component delays do to availability and ordered everything off his list in June. To my astonishment it all got here by mid August, So I called a close friend of mine and had him come up to our place for the week and do the build for me. On my son's 17th birthday I gave him his gift, sure the thing cost me almost 8k with all the peripherals but the look on my son's face and his overwhelming appreciation were well worth it. While I totally suck at PC gaming, mainly do to the learning curve going from console to PC I gotta admit now I want to get one for myself so I can grind away with him, maybe my wife will hook me up lol here's to wishful thinking lmao.
@@jericho1-4 That's sick to hear, honestly a good dad moment. Honestly as a hardcore gamer, I can say that MOST modern game titles have some sort of controller support on PC, so it makes the switch a little less aggravating and tedious to learn. Movement on keyboard in general just comes with time/practice so it isn't a huge deal if you aren't the best right away. I'd say stick to the core games you are familiar with, and every once in a while try to use mouse/keyboard a little more, and maybe try some new titles to test motor function. I recommend trying CSGO, as there's community made maps for a gamemode called surf, or another called B-Hop. They are just movement based minigames that allow you to practice moving around, and it has a fairly high skill cap, so it encourages practice and time played. Plus CSGO is free, so it isn't another little payment you have to worry about. Or you could go with the classic, Minecraft, where creativity knows almost no limits. The basic core game is very simple, and allows you to practice WASD+mouse movement with a fairly chill vibe. If you end up getting yourself a PC, maybe your wife could get one too and you could do some fun co-op games to help encourage that same feeling as "family game night" once did for many families before modern video game consoles took over. I always held the sentiment that Gaming as a whole is one of the best, cheapest hobbies, as it only requires a startup fee and power/internet. PC gaming, I hold slightly higher in regards, because at one moment you could be playing a game, then running through e-mails, then watching a movie, then googling something. The customization is near endless, and the amount of things you can accomplish is wild. A lot cheaper than working on cars or in a woodshop all day at least. Food for thought, but yeah, i digress.

@@thecowboyfromcali Are you telling me I can buy PC ported console controllers to use with the PC to keep things simplified for me. That listening to my kids bust a gut laughing at me and my plethora of mistakes I've made on Console ported versions of games I've for years?

I've had some say I'm deceiving him by doing that, but I would honestly rather he know I don't think I'm perfect or unflappable and that he is intelligent and can teach his "old man" a thing or two. While I do own a good deal of tools and equipment having wood working or car restoration as a hobby has never interested me. Over the years my hobbies have been all over the place. My first huge project was to design and equip a home arcade with replicas of some my favorite videgame cabinets from the 80"s and 90's. My kids wife and I started that about 4 years ago. And it took almost two years to renovate and reinforce one of the outbuildings on our ranch. Our next family project was to build a dirt bike/ATV/UTV course that skirts our property fence line. My kids and I got in to airsoft when they were in their early teens as did a lot of their friends from school so with their input and help we built an airlift field out on an unused pasture field.

Also since you like arcade games and stuff, I assume you are a huge fan of older games as well as game systems. PC allows you to get "ROMS" and "Emulators" to download and play pretty much any old game you could think of. One of my childhood games was Burnout 3: Takedown, so I just downloaded it off a website and now i can play it on PC in 2023. It's a little complex to setup for someone who isn't super knowledgeable on PC's, but there's video tutorials for just about anything nowadays so it shouldn't be hard to find. I also have a Guitar Hero guitar from my childhood that was just sitting in a closet, so I downloaded this game called Clone Hero for free, and now I can play all the old Rock Band/ Guitar Hero games and songs for free as well. It's cool to hear that you have a ranch that's basically a fun-playground for your kids and their friends. I had a little land growing up and Airsoft, Dirt bikes/ATV's, Paintball, and all those fun outdoor activities kept me active and healthy. I'm on about 46 acres of ranch out in the middle of Texas now, with some cattle and chickens who keep me active now that I'm older. But I find myself lost for what to do with the spare space, as the actual pastures take up only about 10 acres. Was thinking of putting some small rentals on the lower area where it's away from the main house, for some passive income. But I'm at a loss as to what the spare land should be used for.
Congratulations man. Seriously a great success story. It’s nice to hear about someone who worked their butt off to get where they are and see it all pay off.
Was he very poor before? I'm not seeing the "Great success story" thing. If an adult cant afford all of this, they've done something very wrong in life.
@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un it's all about priorities, really. Very few people make their gaming PC the number 1 priority, and so when it's time to pay for the PC, they rarely have $ 5k lying around. Especially that a decent PC can be found for $ 2k. Now obviously, if someone like Drewsky has his PC in the top 3 of his life priority, then even with a minimum wage job, you can buy this PC within a year and enjoy it for 6 or 7 years.
I think I started watching your videos around 2018/2019 ish so I’m far from an OG fan, but 3 or 4 years is still more than enough to be able to see this video and know how much progress you’ve made over the years. I just thought that I should remind you that we love you Drewsk, all 1.67 million of us.
You have a talent my friend. You're about half my age and will never see this post but I'd say you're a polymath (or something exceeding it) with regards to your profession - and it is a profession. Watching your night vision video, when you commented on the ready or not menu music, I thought the exact same thing. "That's wonderful" music.
Drewski's Mount Olympus-level PC with game max setting : Chef's kiss 🤌 My PC playing Minecraft with more than 3 TNT : *GENTLEMEN, ITS AN HONOR TO SERVE YOU ALL.*
This man is such an inspiration to me when he started talking about how he didn’t have a high end pc when he was younger and low fps and how his friends all had a good one trying to get your money’s worth out of the cheapest decent pc he could find it reminded me of myself I hope to reach his level one day. Y’all ride safe
I'm glad I am not the only one starting out enjoying day'z with a low end PC. Playing out at 15-20 fps enjoying the survival. Crazy how far we all come from!
I loved the ending where you talked of your story. It reminds me of when I begged my mom for Assassin's Creed 2 because it had history. I played on my PC and it was basically a slideshow but I loved every moment.
I'm not surprised to see Jakub Rozalski's art on your walls. He's a great artist and you seem like a person who can see the awesomeness in his artwork, his storytelling is amazing.
Also depends on where you coming from. For years I played Runescape on this 13" laptop with an i3 and integrated graphics. When I built my first pc on a R5 3600 and RX580 that experience for a few months always blew me away because not only did games run but they looked good. All this talk of 4k and 120fps is just a marker of where these engineers have gotten to. I read online that the process node coming up of 2nm is almost the same size of a strand of DNA which is 1.5nm. That blew my mind. We're at the extreme limits of where silicon is going to get us.
@@DixonErHands I agree , there will come a time in the probably not so distant future where Moore's Law will finally be dead. At that point the only way forward will require some insane innovations in fabrication. But I don't think the home computer is ready for quantum computing just yet.
@@BallisticSollution Engineers are going to have to get REAL creative to get uplifts on silicon performance because we're coming real close to where lithography can't etch much smaller given that quantum issues are going to become an issue pretty soon. 3nm process node is literally 2x as wide as a strand of DNA. Honestly I see no problems humans can't solve. Quantum computing is definitely a long ways off but even in the past year they've made some pretty crazy leaps in the stability of them. Them needing to be cooled down so far and vibrations outside of it causing calculations to get messed up are some pretty huge hurdles yet. I'm just imagining when someone throws a LLM on a quantum computer and ends humanity overnight.
Right in the feels when you mentioned the 400$ PC running DayZ on 15 FPS. I've been using crappy PCs my whole life and finally decided to go for some decent one (i9-12900K, RTX3070, 2 144hz 27" curved monitors) and now Im running into issues like my desk being too small, want a new chair, need VR or TrackIR for DCS, a better hotas and Im not sure where to stop. I think DCS would be way more popular if all of those things wouldnt be so expensive + you still have to buy jets.
I can absolutely understand you. Im 21 and i bought my first own custom pc for 1,4k€ and its not much but its still better then everything i got before. Enjoy the things you have, and enjoy the things you will get in the future! Good Work bro, keep it up!
Drewski I’ve only been watching for a few years man but you’ve gotta be the best cc for this niche and one of the best in general. You put out excellent content and it’s awesome to see how it’s grown and improved. Keep it up
I made my first computer 2 months ago after having just using prebuilt mid tier for years. Got a Ryzen 7 7700x and a gigabyte 4070ti Eagle, got a Cooler Master M360L, 27 inch 1440p monitor. I’ve been able to run all of my games including squad and Arma maxed out and staying above 90 in heavy games like those two and above 120 in the rest, no issues and the temps never reach 70, usually staying high 50’s or low 60’s. 7700x was the way to go for $300 that included Jedi Survivor. Couldn’t be happier with my build, don’t need anything new for years to come
I knew 4090s were huge, but it still took me by surprise when i opened mine. It is basically the limit for what can fit in a Corsair 4000D. It was like installing an Xbox onto my motherboard.
Very nice Drewski, I built a next level racing Boeing ejection seat simpit, all winwing gear including the mip, ka50 collective|, f/a-18 grip n js, f16ex js n throttle body n grip, plus a buttkicker too. Then I had Apex Gaming build up the alpha model to mid range upgrades. About $7k. Totally worth it!
Of everything in this video, the last bit is what I can relate to, I also spent a lot of time being a gamer by heart only, I never had a console and was never able to build a gaming PC till 2019 and it's a great feeling. I still can't afford to buy the latest and greatest, but I can at least enjoy my hobby.
fun fact about the Shure SM7b (which is an amazing piece of kit btw. used for damn near everything in the recording/music industry); it's the mic that James Hetfield uses, and has used on the majority of all Metallica's albums. I've read that he essentially refuses to use anything else. he's far from the only artist to use it, but his name has really only stuck with me because of his seemingly religious devotion to it.
This setup is insane mate, love how easy it is to work in and also play whatever games you want. That GPU is an absolute monster cannot believe it's pretty much the same as an xbox 360 in weight.. Also thanks for the introduction to the artist who painted those amazing artworks on your walls, I have been sat looking through his stuff now for a while and honestly love the concepts.
Hey drew three areas you should consider upgrading. The virpil cm3 base can be configured to not return to centre, this is great for flying helicopters so the stick isn't fighting you all the time Virpil also makes collectives now, so you can have a much more realistic throttle and blade pitch control they even have a replica blackhawk stick for it Finally alternative grips for your main hotas setup, the thrustmaster warthog, f16 and fa 18 grips are all compatible with your virpil base (and the cm3) and virpil also makes a replica tomcat grip, (they also sell replacement parts so you can fix your current grip, and they do have a 2 year warranty with the option of either sending it back or they send you the replacement parts to fix it yourself with their help) Obviously non of these are necessary but they might really improve your setup
Been watching you for a few years now. Every time I have saved up, life gets in the way. Wish I had the disposable income to drop on a beautiful setup like this. Maybe one day I’ll get there.
I genuinely appreciate the simplicity of your whole setup. Some of the setups from the flight sim crowd are absolutely ridiculous. Pretty much the blue flavor of my build. Mine's an AMD 7950X with an Asus Ryujin II LCD cooler on the ASUS X670E-E MOBO, 64GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB, and the same ASUS 4090 OC but in white mounted on the white Antec RGB vertical mount. Had to literally squeeze the GPU into the case but it fits & temps are fine. I went Lian-Li for my fans as well but I got the Infinity fans in white.
I am amazed! Your DCS video’s look great and you look very experienced and the amazing part is how simple your system is. Great quality stuff but so simply set up. Thank’s for sharing.
I really love how you talked about how you, back in the days, played games with 15 FPS or so and now you have that machine. Just gives me hope that I'll have a machine too sooner or later :D
The vaunted headphones. I remember asking multiple years ago on an Interchange video about your headphones and you replied almost immediately - ordered them on the day and I've not really looked back. Although I'm not using them to their fullest extent since I don't have a full audio interface setup but they are still very good. If there is ANYTHING to take away from this video, it's those headphones honestly.
Damn, that last part really hit close to home. I haven't had a PC to game in for a few years since my old laptop broke after almost 10 years (it was chugging along GTA V lowest settings at 10-20 fps by then). It's been tough saving with a family to take care of but hopefully I can save up and build one soon.
I shared the warehouse that Meta PC worked out of up in Scottsdale (they moved to a different location about a year ago). Meta rented that space from us for a couple of years, I had no idea Drewski partnered up with them. They were pretty cool guys and it was cool seeing all the different PC builds they were working on everyday. Not that anybody asked lol
My build that i have had since 2013 FINALLY bit the dust last year, i was in a tighter spot so i settled for a pre-build HP omen. It's honestly not bad aside from the lack of cooling, i run a literal box fan near it to help it out. It'll hopefully hang on a bit longer until i can invest in another build, i'll be checking out Metapcs for sure.
man, i remember watching your videos from WAY back then. so cool to see how far you've come, definitely deserve it. congratz on the pc, and all the success! :)
This guy talking about the pc and I don't even understand and his impress reaction about how he able to play at max graphic mean while im still shock how I'm still cannot believe that I'm able to watch this video at 4k on a 2013 mac book air
Bro, please make a project reality video. That game doesn’t deserve to die. It’s got fighter jets, tanks, snipers, and is made by the team went on to make squad! Just saying if you did then your army of blueberries would bring our game back to life.
A good cheap and quick fix for the GOXLR hissing is buying some noise isolators that look kinda like gluesticks, they are 3.5mm and removed my hissing completely, and I have a Steelseries Wireless w/DAC connected to them just right next to TWO routers, the Steelseries headset was expensive but man, not having to take them off while going AFK is simply amazing.
"Call me a kid", hell man, there's nothing wrong with loving figures as an adult. Enjoy whatever makes you happy, mate. Anyway, that's a sick setup. As a bloke who used to play Arma 3 at like... 18 FPS, I feel you.
Yeah, the whole point of being an adult is that you get to do whatever you want, but with the additional understanding of your responsibilities and priorities.
Drewski this will be an off topic comment however, I don't know if you have heard of these VR games but if you have not you need to try them out. I have two games that you can play either on PCVR or Quest 2. The first game is called Tactical Assualt VR. Currently it is $9.99 on the Quest 2 (which is what I play it on) and I think for Steam it is $12.99. Anyway, the game is a CQB oriented VR shooter where you, and your buddies up to I belive 8, can run a mission with a primary obj and a second obj that you can add on which usually is like a hostage rescue. You will choose your loadout from utility (grenads, breach charges, and heals) to a sledgehammer or shotgun on your back for door breaching, and of course you primary and secondary weapons. After this you will than make your way to your obj location dealing with enemy threats that can and will be around every corner. It is an extremely fun game and certainly a challenge for even the most tactical of gamers. The second game is Ghost of Tabor. It's just Tarkov but VR. I mean really that's all it is. BUT, its addictive as hell and a lot of fun with your friends (up to 3 total in a team). Obvisouly there is more to it than that so I suggest you give both games a look at. Tabor is $19.99 on quest 2 but I don't know about steam. I promise you wont regret it! (PS, both games are Alpha/ Betas, so do note that there are bugs and issues but I think if you know this going in you will have a better experience. Espesially in Ghost of Tabor.)
I also loved the AD700X’s. If you’re looking for an upgrade that has the same sound profile but will also fit small brains easier, the AKG K712 Pros are incredible.
Need me some virpil joysticks. You're probably one of the most down to earth dudes on this platform and I want to thank you for bringing us genuine content.
watching this on the first ever gaming pc ive ever had and i bought it myself. still figuring out some things but 7 year old me has not stopped screaming about it
me watching this in 360p thinking about how nice it must be to be able to pay for all of that lmao i'm so happy for you man, haven't been here long but i could see how happy you were from getting all those things! i'm happy for you
The 13th gen Intel CPUs are actually super efficient for its process size in non-synthetic stuff. My 13700k draws 253W in Cinebench but I have literally never seen it spike above 105 watts white gaming in CPU bound titles. They just have the OPTION to throw efficiency out the window to get the last bit of performance, which really only comes up in all-core synthetic work. For reference, my i7-6700k pulled 100-105W in the same titles. This thing is fully 5.5x faster in all-core work and 2x faster per performance core in single-threaded tasks - and uses the same power. I could go weeks without seeing it go above 105W.
Holy bokeh, that Sony / Tamron combo footage looks smooth. Edit: Looked up the price of that lens and at $1900... Yeah, just like your PC setup I'll admire it vicariously on RUclips.
Man had the exact same thing as you playing dayz and arma all those other games at a 15 fps average. I remember specifically finishing all of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag at 12-18 fps on my old HP laptop pretty much any time I was in the open world, only get 30 fps by a miracle when I was inside a ship in a scripted instance near the start of the game. But sadly now even with a 10900k and a 7900xt and all the frames in the world I've lost the spark I've once had for playing games. But watching you now I think I'm going to have to round up the boys for some Arma or some Division 2 and play again. Awesome video man
You must've gotten really lucky with the G7 monitor. I've seen so many people with bad experience and tried the 27 inch G7 myself recently. Boom dead pixel straight away, and then during playing Tarkov my screen randomly went black for like 3 seconds, just like once in a week. But it solidified that I don't want the G7 for sure and went back to my 1080p monitor. At this point I'm waiting for the Gigabyte M27Q X to come back in stock in EU, or something better to come along.

I also have a Guitar Hero guitar from my childhood that was just sitting in a closet, so I downloaded this game called Clone Hero for free, and now I can play all the old Rock Band/ Guitar Hero games and songs for free as well.
It's cool to hear that you have a ranch that's basically a fun-playground for your kids and their friends. I had a little land growing up and Airsoft, Dirt bikes/ATV's, Paintball, and all those fun outdoor activities kept me active and healthy. I'm on about 46 acres of ranch out in the middle of Texas now, with some cattle and chickens who keep me active now that I'm older. But I find myself lost for what to do with the spare space, as the actual pastures take up only about 10 acres. Was thinking of putting some small rentals on the lower area where it's away from the main house, for some passive income. But I'm at a loss as to what the spare land should be used for.
Congratulations man. Seriously a great success story. It’s nice to hear about someone who worked their butt off to get where they are and see it all pay off.
Was he very poor before? I'm not seeing the "Great success story" thing. If an adult cant afford all of this, they've done something very wrong in life.
@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un it's all about priorities, really. Very few people make their gaming PC the number 1 priority, and so when it's time to pay for the PC, they rarely have $ 5k lying around. Especially that a decent PC can be found for $ 2k.
Now obviously, if someone like Drewsky has his PC in the top 3 of his life priority, then even with a minimum wage job, you can buy this PC within a year and enjoy it for 6 or 7 years.
I think I started watching your videos around 2018/2019 ish so I’m far from an OG fan, but 3 or 4 years is still more than enough to be able to see this video and know how much progress you’ve made over the years. I just thought that I should remind you that we love you Drewsk, all 1.67 million of us.
You have a talent my friend. You're about half my age and will never see this post but I'd say you're a polymath (or something exceeding it) with regards to your profession - and it is a profession. Watching your night vision video, when you commented on the ready or not menu music, I thought the exact same thing. "That's wonderful" music.
Thanks man :)
Drewski's Mount Olympus-level PC with game max setting : Chef's kiss 🤌
My PC playing Minecraft with more than 3 TNT : *GENTLEMEN, ITS AN HONOR TO SERVE YOU ALL.*
check out the fabulously optimized mod pack
@@Prinz_Kasper Its alright. Appreciate though ! 😉
This man is such an inspiration to me when he started talking about how he didn’t have a high end pc when he was younger and low fps and how his friends all had a good one trying to get your money’s worth out of the cheapest decent pc he could find it reminded me of myself I hope to reach his level one day. Y’all ride safe
I'm glad I am not the only one starting out enjoying day'z with a low end PC. Playing out at 15-20 fps enjoying the survival. Crazy how far we all come from!
I loved the ending where you talked of your story. It reminds me of when I begged my mom for Assassin's Creed 2 because it had history. I played on my PC and it was basically a slideshow but I loved every moment.
I'm 7 minutes into a 15 minute video that's basically an ad but I'm still entertained. Thus is the magic of drewski
I'm not surprised to see Jakub Rozalski's art on your walls. He's a great artist and you seem like a person who can see the awesomeness in his artwork, his storytelling is amazing.
Love this setup, I recently got a I9 13900K and a 4090 and was blown away by it so glad to see I am not the only one :)
Also depends on where you coming from. For years I played Runescape on this 13" laptop with an i3 and integrated graphics. When I built my first pc on a R5 3600 and RX580 that experience for a few months always blew me away because not only did games run but they looked good. All this talk of 4k and 120fps is just a marker of where these engineers have gotten to. I read online that the process node coming up of 2nm is almost the same size of a strand of DNA which is 1.5nm. That blew my mind. We're at the extreme limits of where silicon is going to get us.
@@DixonErHands I agree , there will come a time in the probably not so distant future where Moore's Law will finally be dead. At that point the only way forward will require some insane innovations in fabrication. But I don't think the home computer is ready for quantum computing just yet.
@@BallisticSollution Engineers are going to have to get REAL creative to get uplifts on silicon performance because we're coming real close to where lithography can't etch much smaller given that quantum issues are going to become an issue pretty soon. 3nm process node is literally 2x as wide as a strand of DNA. Honestly I see no problems humans can't solve. Quantum computing is definitely a long ways off but even in the past year they've made some pretty crazy leaps in the stability of them. Them needing to be cooled down so far and vibrations outside of it causing calculations to get messed up are some pretty huge hurdles yet. I'm just imagining when someone throws a LLM on a quantum computer and ends humanity overnight.
Right in the feels when you mentioned the 400$ PC running DayZ on 15 FPS. I've been using crappy PCs my whole life and finally decided to go for some decent one (i9-12900K, RTX3070, 2 144hz 27" curved monitors) and now Im running into issues like my desk being too small, want a new chair, need VR or TrackIR for DCS, a better hotas and Im not sure where to stop. I think DCS would be way more popular if all of those things wouldnt be so expensive + you still have to buy jets.
ooof 3070 in dcs are you trying to speed run no more vram
I can absolutely understand you. Im 21 and i bought my first own custom pc for 1,4k€ and its not much but its still better then everything i got before. Enjoy the things you have, and enjoy the things you will get in the future! Good Work bro, keep it up!
Drewski I’ve only been watching for a few years man but you’ve gotta be the best cc for this niche and one of the best in general. You put out excellent content and it’s awesome to see how it’s grown and improved. Keep it up
Hell let loose at 172 frames, I can only dream with my 45 frames medium settings :(
I made my first computer 2 months ago after having just using prebuilt mid tier for years. Got a Ryzen 7 7700x and a gigabyte 4070ti Eagle, got a Cooler Master M360L, 27 inch 1440p monitor. I’ve been able to run all of my games including squad and Arma maxed out and staying above 90 in heavy games like those two and above 120 in the rest, no issues and the temps never reach 70, usually staying high 50’s or low 60’s. 7700x was the way to go for $300 that included Jedi Survivor. Couldn’t be happier with my build, don’t need anything new for years to come
Heck yeah dude, thats a cleeeean high end build with great FPS for the dollar. Good stuff. Enjoy it!
@@OperatorDrewski Thank you Drewski!
I knew 4090s were huge, but it still took me by surprise when i opened mine. It is basically the limit for what can fit in a Corsair 4000D. It was like installing an Xbox onto my motherboard.
I have the same ROG Strix 4090 OC he has but in white & it was a literal squeeze to get it to fit inside the Fractal North.
Very nice Drewski, I built a next level racing Boeing ejection seat simpit, all winwing gear including the mip, ka50 collective|, f/a-18 grip n js, f16ex js n throttle body n grip, plus a buttkicker too.
Then I had Apex Gaming build up the alpha model to mid range upgrades. About $7k.
Totally worth it!
Of everything in this video, the last bit is what I can relate to, I also spent a lot of time being a gamer by heart only, I never had a console and was never able to build a gaming PC till 2019 and it's a great feeling. I still can't afford to buy the latest and greatest, but I can at least enjoy my hobby.
fun fact about the Shure SM7b (which is an amazing piece of kit btw. used for damn near everything in the recording/music industry);
it's the mic that James Hetfield uses, and has used on the majority of all Metallica's albums. I've read that he essentially refuses to use anything else.
he's far from the only artist to use it, but his name has really only stuck with me because of his seemingly religious devotion to it.
i can't imagine ever having a pc that amazing. wow
This setup is insane mate, love how easy it is to work in and also play whatever games you want. That GPU is an absolute monster cannot believe it's pretty much the same as an xbox 360 in weight.. Also thanks for the introduction to the artist who painted those amazing artworks on your walls, I have been sat looking through his stuff now for a while and honestly love the concepts.
Hey drew three areas you should consider upgrading.
The virpil cm3 base can be configured to not return to centre, this is great for flying helicopters so the stick isn't fighting you all the time
Virpil also makes collectives now, so you can have a much more realistic throttle and blade pitch control they even have a replica blackhawk stick for it
Finally alternative grips for your main hotas setup, the thrustmaster warthog, f16 and fa 18 grips are all compatible with your virpil base (and the cm3) and virpil also makes a replica tomcat grip, (they also sell replacement parts so you can fix your current grip, and they do have a 2 year warranty with the option of either sending it back or they send you the replacement parts to fix it yourself with their help)
Obviously non of these are necessary but they might really improve your setup
Your setup looks on point, always gotta use good gaming chair for better gaming skill
Where’s Pinkman?
@@justaperson1619 we don´t talk about pinkman
Yes monstertech flight chair
HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
Gaming chairs are awful. A quality office chair beats "gaming chairs" any day
Been watching you for a few years now. Every time I have saved up, life gets in the way. Wish I had the disposable income to drop on a beautiful setup like this. Maybe one day I’ll get there.
I genuinely appreciate the simplicity of your whole setup. Some of the setups from the flight sim crowd are absolutely ridiculous.
Pretty much the blue flavor of my build. Mine's an AMD 7950X with an Asus Ryujin II LCD cooler on the ASUS X670E-E MOBO, 64GB of G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB, and the same ASUS 4090 OC but in white mounted on the white Antec RGB vertical mount. Had to literally squeeze the GPU into the case but it fits & temps are fine. I went Lian-Li for my fans as well but I got the Infinity fans in white.
That case line is tremendous in its modularity, i have the smaller one and its a work of art. Awesome setup!
I am amazed! Your DCS video’s look great and you look very experienced and the amazing part is how simple your system is. Great quality stuff but so simply set up. Thank’s for sharing.
Drewkski plays Battlefield 1 when he's not recording, absolutely f*cking legend.
As always thanks Drewski! Safe travels everyone. I absolutely adore your cats choice of blanket as well 😅
I really love how you talked about how you, back in the days, played games with 15 FPS or so and now you have that machine. Just gives me hope that I'll have a machine too sooner or later :D
I love flying in DCS world with HeadTrack IR and pedals/joystick
Highest production quality "Setup" video I've ever seen. Great video! You made me go on a hunt for new headphones.
I got to fly on the air forces flight sim at Cadets last night, recognized DCS and made me want to buy a pc and vr so much more.
That is a BEAST of a pc. A 4090, a i9 13900K like, that is just absurd. And 64 GB of DDR5 RAM. That a lot.
The vaunted headphones. I remember asking multiple years ago on an Interchange video about your headphones and you replied almost immediately - ordered them on the day and I've not really looked back. Although I'm not using them to their fullest extent since I don't have a full audio interface setup but they are still very good. If there is ANYTHING to take away from this video, it's those headphones honestly.
this video gave me the extra boost i needed to get through the work day, now i know what to work for
Damn, that last part really hit close to home. I haven't had a PC to game in for a few years since my old laptop broke after almost 10 years (it was chugging along GTA V lowest settings at 10-20 fps by then).
It's been tough saving with a family to take care of but hopefully I can save up and build one soon.
I’m on a budget and recently got the thrustmaster 16000m hotas. Would highly recommend.
Thanks for the recommend
I shared the warehouse that Meta PC worked out of up in Scottsdale (they moved to a different location about a year ago). Meta rented that space from us for a couple of years, I had no idea Drewski partnered up with them. They were pretty cool guys and it was cool seeing all the different PC builds they were working on everyday. Not that anybody asked lol
My build that i have had since 2013 FINALLY bit the dust last year, i was in a tighter spot so i settled for a pre-build HP omen. It's honestly not bad aside from the lack of cooling, i run a literal box fan near it to help it out. It'll hopefully hang on a bit longer until i can invest in another build, i'll be checking out Metapcs for sure.
man, i remember watching your videos from WAY back then. so cool to see how far you've come, definitely deserve it. congratz on the pc, and all the success! :)
This bear named Wojtek from Jacob's painting really existed and served in the Polish army during the Second World War.
This guy talking about the pc and I don't even understand and his impress reaction about how he able to play at max graphic mean while im still shock how I'm still cannot believe that I'm able to watch this video at 4k on a 2013 mac book air
Wow did this video make me want to make my gaming room not look like a gigantic plate of spaghetti and monitors. That setup is so clean
I definitely just side eyed all my dangly wires. lol
Bro, please make a project reality video. That game doesn’t deserve to die. It’s got fighter jets, tanks, snipers, and is made by the team went on to make squad! Just saying if you did then your army of blueberries would bring our game back to life.
Gotta love the GR wild lands theme 👌
Drewski your stache is just on point bud. Never shave it off please.
Glad to see all those years of content paid off
To get the authentic ArmA experience, you must not exceed 15 fps.
Thank you for including STALKER Gamma, and Tarkov really cool setup and video!
A good cheap and quick fix for the GOXLR hissing is buying some noise isolators that look kinda like gluesticks, they are 3.5mm and removed my hissing completely, and I have a Steelseries Wireless w/DAC connected to them just right next to TWO routers, the Steelseries headset was expensive but man, not having to take them off while going AFK is simply amazing.
Your top shelf with those nods cost more than my entire battlestation and my car combined hahaha.
"Call me a kid", hell man, there's nothing wrong with loving figures as an adult. Enjoy whatever makes you happy, mate. Anyway, that's a sick setup. As a bloke who used to play Arma 3 at like... 18 FPS, I feel you.
Yeah, the whole point of being an adult is that you get to do whatever you want, but with the additional understanding of your responsibilities and priorities.
Those Halo Reach figures are SO GOOD!
Hey Drewski - Nice setup!
We'll be in touch to help you get your MongoosT-50CM2 Grip sorted! :)
Dude ur life is my heaven, moustache, cute cat and an epic flight sim, what more could you want! Great vid btw!
Love your set up champ very clean and I’m a fan of your room layout and those art pieces definitely set the tone 👌
@OperatorDewski wildlands music at the end was a great touch. DCS locked at 180 is nuts. We should two flight F-14’s on Enigma’s sometime
So glad to see that no matter what setup you have and what settings its at that stalker will not go past 120 fps when you go to a random poi
Drewski this will be an off topic comment however, I don't know if you have heard of these VR games but if you have not you need to try them out.
I have two games that you can play either on PCVR or Quest 2. The first game is called Tactical Assualt VR. Currently it is $9.99 on the Quest 2 (which is what I play it on) and I think for Steam it is $12.99. Anyway, the game is a CQB oriented VR shooter where you, and your buddies up to I belive 8, can run a mission with a primary obj and a second obj that you can add on which usually is like a hostage rescue. You will choose your loadout from utility (grenads, breach charges, and heals) to a sledgehammer or shotgun on your back for door breaching, and of course you primary and secondary weapons. After this you will than make your way to your obj location dealing with enemy threats that can and will be around every corner. It is an extremely fun game and certainly a challenge for even the most tactical of gamers.
The second game is Ghost of Tabor. It's just Tarkov but VR. I mean really that's all it is. BUT, its addictive as hell and a lot of fun with your friends (up to 3 total in a team). Obvisouly there is more to it than that so I suggest you give both games a look at. Tabor is $19.99 on quest 2 but I don't know about steam. I promise you wont regret it!
(PS, both games are Alpha/ Betas, so do note that there are bugs and issues but I think if you know this going in you will have a better experience. Espesially in Ghost of Tabor.)
I also loved the AD700X’s. If you’re looking for an upgrade that has the same sound profile but will also fit small brains easier, the AKG K712 Pros are incredible.
Need me some virpil joysticks. You're probably one of the most down to earth dudes on this platform and I want to thank you for bringing us genuine content.
Nice setup drewski. Also, the ghost recon wildlands music is just awesome. Takes me back, everytime
Damn this man is living one of my dreams😭 when I picture me having a bad ass gaming set up, this is exactly what I want!
The editing on this is SMOOTH, well done!
Bro this is beautiful. I can’t wait to build something like this when i get a better job
7800x3d, suprim 4090, hero x670e, hx1200i, 64gb 6000mhz g skill, same aio, case and fans. Have 42 c2 too, helps flying when not in vr
This setup tour was SOOOO well done.
love your videos and congratulations on the new pc you are one of the main reasons I got into military sim games
Nothing tells me more that I’m broke than setup videos from gaming youtubers
Dude, impressive NVG collection! Those alone must cost more than the PC
3:04-3:09 I love your cat looking intently at the system 😍
watching this on the first ever gaming pc ive ever had and i bought it myself. still figuring out some things but 7 year old me has not stopped screaming about it
me watching this in 360p thinking about how nice it must be to be able to pay for all of that lmao
i'm so happy for you man, haven't been here long but i could see how happy you were from getting all those things! i'm happy for you
The 13th gen Intel CPUs are actually super efficient for its process size in non-synthetic stuff. My 13700k draws 253W in Cinebench but I have literally never seen it spike above 105 watts white gaming in CPU bound titles. They just have the OPTION to throw efficiency out the window to get the last bit of performance, which really only comes up in all-core synthetic work.
For reference, my i7-6700k pulled 100-105W in the same titles. This thing is fully 5.5x faster in all-core work and 2x faster per performance core in single-threaded tasks - and uses the same power. I could go weeks without seeing it go above 105W.
Watching drewski go from Demomatts brother to linuss little brother who kinda wants to get into the family business is hilarious.
Those paintings are fantastic
Just came from Demolition Ranch to Drewski. The ranch brothers keeping us entertained
Great video as always. Really nicely explainded!
Nice, Drewski!
ayo.
That hand swipe into logo edit gotta be the hardest shit I've seen in a minute.
I thought this set up was ridiculous until I got into sim racing and now i totally get it.
Holy bokeh, that Sony / Tamron combo footage looks smooth.
Edit: Looked up the price of that lens and at $1900... Yeah, just like your PC setup I'll admire it vicariously on RUclips.
But can it run crisis
But can it run doom
Man had the exact same thing as you playing dayz and arma all those other games at a 15 fps average. I remember specifically finishing all of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag at 12-18 fps on my old HP laptop pretty much any time I was in the open world, only get 30 fps by a miracle when I was inside a ship in a scripted instance near the start of the game. But sadly now even with a 10900k and a 7900xt and all the frames in the world I've lost the spark I've once had for playing games. But watching you now I think I'm going to have to round up the boys for some Arma or some Division 2 and play again. Awesome video man
Dew, we all started small. keep it up buddy and continue to shock that little kid inside of you.
🙂
"wonder how fast this could play arma 3, like maybe what do you think 15 fps?" most accurate statement lol
This is ridiculous....ridiculously AWESOME!
Yo same mouse AND same first joystick setup, I'm also rocking the moustache and haircut of all time. Drewski you might have a Swedish doppelgänger.
Your line about Arma 3 at 15 fps killed me.
it's true though, damn you bohemia
bruh im jealous drew asks for a pc to review and he's given a powerful one for free. content creators are so lucky man!
You must've gotten really lucky with the G7 monitor. I've seen so many people with bad experience and tried the 27 inch G7 myself recently. Boom dead pixel straight away, and then during playing Tarkov my screen randomly went black for like 3 seconds, just like once in a week. But it solidified that I don't want the G7 for sure and went back to my 1080p monitor. At this point I'm waiting for the Gigabyte M27Q X to come back in stock in EU, or something better to come along.
My brother in Christ, you must be running War Thunder at 6.2 billion frames per second.
i'm seein bout 6.4M fps on my end
ugh, and i had just finally let myself felt satisfied with my own desk.
back to crying to myself at night
