    Hey everyone, just a quick, friendly reminder that bots are bad, Mkay? We run TheoJoe's bot destroyer 9000 several times a day to try and clear them out, but they just keep popping up. Unless the comment is from @DawidDoesTechStuff YT Account, it is not from me.
    I am giving away the Custom PC to a viewer through Gleam - the winner will be drawn next week Wednesday, and the winner will not have to pay for shipping or import duties. Please don't give any personal information or money away to anyone on the internet willy-nilly.
    P.S. I DO NOT HAVE TELEGRAM.

    What a nice video on building PCs! I would also add that with building your own PC, you are able to shop around for the best prices for each individual parts, and also pick the best makers for each component, rather than being restricted to one brand and having little control over what you are getting aside from the basic specs. After all, the prebuild system had to cheap out somewhere to make up for the poor margins on the core components like CPU and GPU.

    I think the prebuilt was the winner, because it gave almost the same performance without the effort of building. I've been saying for awhile now that the margin of performance between prebuilts and custom pc's is getting thinner and thinner every year, and I think this is a good example

    • @linkkevin11
      @linkkevin11 Год назад +2

      But prebuilt over time will last you less, since the GPU is running in such high temps that decreases lifetime. Also, that’s temps of a low temp weather. In summer you’ll see that GPU throttling in performance due to the high temps. The prebuilt is also limited in how much you can upgrade since it’s so small when compared to the BeQuiet it can be upgradable to a bigger variety of GPUs.

    • @pcgenerationstore
      @pcgenerationstore Год назад +2

      If you want a prebuilt, get a used pc. Sometimes you can find really good deals, like my luckiest find was $350 usd for an i7 11700kf, 3060 ti cyberpowerpc. It was used for like 3-7 months. Too many people spend money on something, and give up on it when they realize they dont want it anymore. Also, the most expensive part of any build nowadays is the gpu. It wouldn't hurt to have your whole build be new, but the gpu used. Even if it was mined, its still good and you'd be saving a good amount of cash

    I bought the Pure Base 500 FX after getting a Pure Rock 2 a few months ago. It completely changed my build from the blacked out NZXT H510 I had before and runs so much cooler now. Was super easy to build in and was an amazing deal for their anniversary. The range of colors it comes with stock is awesome.
    The one single thing I don’t like is the glass panel screws being individual and not retained but they’re still very nice quality.

    I will be 77 y.o. in 2 weeks and I still enjoy building PCs. On Black Friday I went by Micro Center to pick up an order I'd placed the night before. It was for a 2nd system just to play with and for when grandkids visit. I didn't order a case and wasn't planning on getting one yet, but changed my mind and grabbed the cheapest one they had without researching it. It is the Monarch X1 mid-tower ATX case and what a PITA to build in!! There was no room on the backside to manage cables and still put the back panel on. It came with 4 RGB fans that were powered by a molex connector, thus the RGB was not addressable, nor could you change the fan speed. I got the case to work, but it was not a fun build.

    I use a configurator since I know the parts I want, I just don't trust myself to build it. A couple of weeks ago I got a 12600kf/3080 12gb rog strix combo with 32gb corsair vengeance 3600 RAM, Corsair RMX 850W, 1tb NVME, Fractal Meshify 2 case and Tuf Gaming mb for around £1650 built for me. I'm quite surprised it arrived in one piece since it was much cheaper than other configurators were offering. Well pleased with it (apart from some pretty bad coil whine at times on the GPU but that's quite common among the rog strix versions, so I hear), although obviously it would be cheaper still building it.

    The one nice thing about building PCs today as to back in say the 1990's is everything is auto-detect and because of better standards, most things are compatible with other things (from a component standpoint). So for example, you can pretty much plug any video card into any motherboard, and provided you have enough power, it should work fine. Whereas back in the day, you maybe had to flip DIP switches to make things work, and trouble shooting blank boot screens was a bit harder and if you were lucky, you got beep codes to tell you what the problem was. But even the beep codes themselves could have various meanings. It's just an easier experience today as it's pretty much all plug and play, providing you got the correct RAM for the motherboard and CPU combination. There is still the requirement too to make sure that the CPU is compatible with the board, which has always been the case, as is the RAM, but as far as other components, far less of an issue, especially with things like running a dedicated graphics card and CPU graphics at the same time, which may not have been possible in the 90s (unless you got some specialised hardware was probably wasn't common back then; today to run dual graphics it's easy as changing a few settings and in many cases, can be auto-detect). And then you had the nasty IDE master/slave stuff to be concerned with, and if set incorrectly, your system might not boot even if you installed the OS correctly. Today's computers are less tedious to build (fastest I ever put together a computer -- from a hardware standpoint -- was probably 15-20 minutes after everything was unboxed; from start to power-up and testing).
    For some builds, I have found it much easier to put the CPU, memory and cooler on outside of the case and then screw everything in afterwards, so you can ensure things like heatsink clips are fastened, installing any board-mounted storage (like NVME drives, which are easier to install when the board is outside of the case most of the time), and RAM is installed correctly especially if it happens to sit in an add location where installing it after the board is installed is either very difficult or not possible (less likely in most systems, unless it's something like a compact ITX system or SFF PC). Despite best practices, I always ripped off the plastic CPU cover prior to raising the top plate, which come to find out, is not how you're "supposed" to do it, but I have yet to damage any pins in the some 20-30 computers I've worked on over the years with this type of socket (the "LGA" socket type).

    After over 30 years of building custom (for myself and others) the stress on first power on never goes away but the euphoria when it all comes together is second to none. Plus you get to avoid Alma going custom, always a bonus.

      The novelty wore off for me. Fun when it all works, not fun when it doesnt whether its small niggles or a key component is doa so you need to rma. Last time around I used a custom builder that allowed me to pick whatever components I wanted based around the cpu. Built it and warrantied it (at overclocked speeds) for 2yrs and the price was less than 5% over buying the same components myself. For me it was a no brainer.

    What surprises me most is the shockingly not terrible performance of the pre-built. We all know that with a little knowledge and patience you can build a more powerful PC for the price of a given pre-built, but it seems like a few manufacturers have started watching YT and decided to make some non-garbage systems available and I'm happy about it.
    I'll stick to building, but I'm glad I don't *have* to build it myself to get a half decent machine

  • @chrisv6126

    I have been building, and cobelling together spare parts, my own PC's since 2000. They are always superior to any prebuilt for the simple fact that you built it yourself, along with a whole list of other reasons. I wish it wasn't so dang expensive so I could build more than one every few years.
    Great content as always Dawid. I can't explain why, but I get excited every time I see that you posted a new video. Thanks for all the great entertainment you give to the world.

      You're supposed to build, then upgrade with the planned upgrade path you built for yourself.
      Buying a whole new PC every few years would make you an Apple user. Eeeee! Stinky apples smeared with Steve Jobs fart juice.
      No thanks, I'll upgrade my system like a maverick, until the point where I can't add a better CPU without risking the formation of a miniature black hole above the northbridge, or the capacitors spray lethal jaundice juice in my eye.

    I have to admit, I didn't expect the performance to be so close as far as frame rate is concerned. The lower temps and noise pollution are factors to the positive that should not be overlooked. Thanks for putting in the work Dawid.

I’ve always built my own, never met a pre-built that didn’t need pulling apart and repairing upon arrival - or just immediate mercy-killing by lump hammer. Love the Be Quiet kit. Thanks!
