It's great, that you let your employees do their own video shoot. I would like to see Nic's Week and Phil's Week on the channel. Just let them record anything, like what happened on Con's or what their plan on the next build.
I saw "I'd like to see Nic's Wee", thought it was going to be an off spelling like Weener. But yeah other than that I agree to your comment to an extent... At first I'd give them 1 video ever two weeks and see how it goes... Plus they might not be able to poop out decent video ideas that fast, unless you meant 1 whole week per year or 6 months... Idk. 🤷🏻♂️
It's awesome to see videos from Nic and Phil. Nic just seems so chill the whole time, it's actually pretty relaxing to watch. Nothing flashy, or expensive, no need for the best of everything, just a reasonable PC with great performance, and it turned out looking really good. Phil is just entertaining to watch, and his excitement and happiness is really infective. And I love that Nic is just so nonchalant, and doesn't really seem to care if anyone else is impressed, he's just satisfied with it regardless.
Awesome to see everyone's personalities & letting them be themselves. It's great to really study peoples' decisions & weigh them against what you've been considering. Thanks for being objective & letting your staff have some creative freedom, the world needs more "managers" like you 🤟
Been a subscriber since i think 2015 and man i absolutely love seein nick in the videos. I can relate to him alot and totally understand what he has going on as far as being infront of a camera. He killed it in this video and im super pickey when it comes to pc builds and that one is slick. Hope to see him in more videos!
Watching the three of you faffing about is always worth watching. Congratulations Nick for doing a great job. And give him the Gundam 3090-he deserves it
Thanks guys, great video! The Torrent case is good airflow wise and great looking, especially with the front lit up with shadows, angles and glow. What I don't like are that 3.5" drives (if your moving old archive drives) have to be manually screwed in using both the rubber grommets and provided screws if you have any to move over. Even my 10 year old Cooler Master case has quick no tool drive holders. The cabling works, but the Corsair i series power supply ICUE cable is a bit tight since the USB 2 headers tend to be on the bottom of most motherboards - suggest aftermarket replacement longer cable. Any RGB lighting will glow through the top plastic and reveal hexagons through the top from bottom structure which was a cool surprise. (using white version) When building the top with the buttons & ports should be protected as will easily scratch or mar when upside down. I took out the 140 fans and moved the 2 180's to the bottom in order to fit a 420' push pull rad in front mostly to have RGB both in front and inside. 420 AIO on the bottom does fit but is a no go because of pump orientation. Still put a 140 exhaust because it was there. The final caveat the two captive case screws in the rear top come out easily, but must be secured to lift the case safely as that's the only hand hold and it could be easy to grab and create a catastrophe if not fastened in all the way.
Sick build! I remember and miss the days when you could build a 70ti class build for a 1000 bucks. Crazy to think an i5/70ti build cost close to 2000 bucks. Love the air tower and single NVME. It's super low maintenance and is pretty much set it and forget it. It's also nice seeing a non-RGB build. I feel like industry decided that only 1 type of styling is possible with RGB. You need to have all fans lit up with an RGB AIO. All builds are built in a white case with white fans and all look the same. So the lack of RGB is refreshing.
Nicely done Nick, I will say I had that same CPU cooler on my past 12700K in my Torrent case and with a decent OC, it worked great due to the massive amount of airflow that case has.. Unfortunately when I went to the 13900KS in that case, air-cooling was not going to cut it.. and putting a AIO on that case is not as fun.
The U12A would work for on a 13900K for gaming just fine. Only when Benchmarking it will scratch on the temp-limits. But Jay is underestimating this cooler by a lot. If you watch comparisions you see that this cooler is only slightly behind the NH-D15 which is the best aircooler on the market.
@@Mastermoussa Oh, don't get me wrong, the U12A severed me well and I think Torrent case are a very good combo. but trust me the U12A would not keep this KS cool... it is a sweet chip, but she runs HOT
@@killer01ws6 I don't exactly know on the KS but for the K you can even see on Noctuas website that they rated the U12A for this CPU. And I also looked around on youtube and reddit where they said that for gaming and normal workloads it will keep up with the 13900K. But I would also go for the NH-D15 to be on the safe side.
Nic did an amazing job, love the Torrent, the subtle RGB with the blackout is perfect. The RTFM aspect, thank goodness he mentioned it. Reading the manual helps so much.
Good job Nic. My new build is similar. I went with a 12400F on msi z690 tomahawk with gskill ddr5 and an EVGA 3070 FTW3. My target was actually for 40+ FPS in DCS World with max settings as before I was at 19 FPS with minimum settings. I hit 83+ at 1440p so well over my target. I chose the Dark Rock Pro4 tower cooler and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste. Temps rarely get over 56c in games.
I like these types of videos. Just Nic explaining why he choose his parts and Jay coming to critique it is just funny lol. I need more videos like this pls.
Really enjoyed the slightly chaotic filming of this one. Especially the ending. I liked Nic's justification for his choices. Not everyone does a super deep dive on all the options, and his research was comprehensive enough. He had legitimate reasons for those choices, even if there were other options that could have improved the long term viability. Overall, a really fun video with some top tier cable management.
You guys have such great chemistry and your own personalities that mesh well. Also very nice cable management. I've been building for years and still have trouble keeping it clean.
Great build! I learned alot from watching your videos and i can see nick has learned alot from working with you. Its always great to see someone build something they can be proud of! keep up the good work nick
Hey there Guys... Consider the benefits of the 4070 TI. DlSS 3.0, AV1 Encoding, 3090 performance for half the power consumption.. I heard all the negative reviews but then after looking at it compared to the other options, it's a really good deal. $799 (what I paid for mine at newegg), and it drops right in a standard case, uses only 2 PCIE connectors and delivers 3090+ performance.. yeah.. it's a winner. Nice build by the way. Cheers Rick
That build looks so clean! GJ Nic! Though now I'm wondering what the video would have looked like if Nic edited it too.. can y'all have him do that too? :)
17:50 there you see that Jay is not so much informed of Aircooler. The NH-U12A that he chose even works for a 13900k as long as you don't mind that it comes to its limits on benchmarks. But for gaming it will work just fine. And even on Noctuas website you can see that this cooler is rated as one of the best for the 13900k. The NH-D 15 which is the best Aircooler on the markt is only slightly better than this compact beast of a cooler.
Nice job Nic and Phil (Phil montage great as always)! Love the build and the build is very aesthetically pleasing. I like RGB, but I also love clean builds. I love Jay and what he does, but I agree with RTFM Chat that we need to see Phil and Nic hosting more in vids. Especially when it comes to their passions that differ from Jayz. It will also allow us, the veiwer, see things and builds through others eyes than just Jayz. Y'all are an awesome team and love this team. Jay let's let others play on the field and create some more amazing content. Love y'all and keep up the great work!
Love the camaraderie and trust that this group of fellas have for one another! It’s so refreshing to see it in among the other toxic channels. Very wholesome! ❤😊👍🏻😎
Sweet video! Great explanations and I like that he explained his thought process too. Cool hairdoo too (never really saw him so close for long on a camera lol).
Really cool build I love the case! Good tip with the fan thing that's the type of thing I feel like I would miss till I'm gaming. And then sit in indecision about whether to take it apart and fix it or just deal haha. Side note: That song is so lit I loved the lil flute
It took a minute to boot because Jay took one of the dram sticks out. The tuf 4070 ti cooler is not the same as the 4080. The 4080 is the same as the 4090 though. The u12a is an excellent choice of cooler for that case. Good job Nic. Don't take that crap from Jay.
Nic said he shouldn't be excited because it's his 5th build... I have more than that under my belt and still get super excited with every build! Be excited (and proud) my man!
I had to go back and watch the Gundam one again after this. It’s still a pretty sweet one. That setup would look pretty sweet on Nicks desk in the background instead of just collecting dust in the warehouse.
this was an excellent video. take an average builder and see how he chose his parts and setup the pc. and then have the master see what was missed and detect common pitfalls.,i bet a lot of people learned something here. great job Nic!
Probably my favorite video in a while. Awesome explanation and reasoning for each part. I'm sure we all have little tweaks we would do, but overall solid build. I REALLY want to build in that torrent case too...
Good job Nic! Your parts selection made sense and fits the games you want to play. But really Jay, you know very well that RGB isn't just "don't turn it on," It's a cleaner Windows install, and more importantly MUCH cleaner cable management.
Good job Nic! I managed to get an AM5 build together for right at $2k. With an R9 7900x, 32GB DDR5-6000, RX 7900x in An ASRock B650 board, a 1TB WD SN780, an EVGA 850 PSU in a Corsair 4000D AF. My Heat sink is a Dark Rock Pro 4 and it seems to be doing good for now with PBO on. May be replacing it with an AIO before August because even the AC has trouble keeping up with the heat. DDR5 has come way down in price recently.
Always happy to see a build in this case. If it wasn’t 2x the price of the phanteks one I ended up with at the time, would have loved to buy this one. I always use in PC Building Sim and do stealth fan-only builds in it, so well done Nic!
This has absolutely nothing to do with this video. But, I have learned a lot from you. Especially removing the mechanical HD from laptops and replacing them with a SSD. I’m about to do another one and I can not stress enough, that by doing this, it brings a whole new life to an older laptop. You’re awesome.
Welcome to the Grey Torrent family ! Managed to fit a 420 mm AIO in front of mine and the 2x 180mm fans on the bottom with custom printed fans tray. I genuinely hate the prewired fans/rgb on the Artic Liquid Freezer II series... A lot of custom 3d printed mods... Use your skills !
Solid mobo choice. I'm running the Asus TUF Z690 with the i7 12700k and have been really happy with the performance. I built mine about a year ago so paired it with the RTX 3080 12GB. For those three parts I paid £699 for the gpu, £359 for the cpu and £189 for the mobo so was really happy with that, Re-used my old case, storage, psu and ram and have a really nice gaming setup. Nice to see Nic doing a video. Was wondering when this build would happen after listening to the RTFM show, glad you did it pretty quick.
This is what makes this channel so great. Is the diversity or way they shoot there tech stuff and joke around and that. And doesn't always do the professional reviews and unboxing all the time
Sometimes "unpopular" parts are the best option. I built my pc a few years ago with a 2080 super gpu and a 3800x cpu. Neither of those parts got the greatest reviews at the time but I got good deals on them and they worked great for what I wanted. I was very happy with the build but any reviews at the time would have said I should have bought something different. Your part choices made sense to me and I enjoyed the video
That was a very good work video... Nic hard at work, and you giving all those points, plus and minus... You forgot the 1000 points he startet with, with his acceptants of the task... I like it a lot... Learning by working a task... Still a great job well done, Nic... Rock on...
Nic did an awesome job at explaining his choices and the outcome of the build looked amazing!
It's great, that you let your employees do their own video shoot. I would like to see Nic's Week and Phil's Week on the channel. Just let them record anything, like what happened on Con's or what their plan on the next build.
Agreed. Nice to see their point of view. And seeing them make fun of each other
Oh yeah definitely them rotating turns
I saw "I'd like to see Nic's Wee", thought it was going to be an off spelling like Weener. But yeah other than that I agree to your comment to an extent... At first I'd give them 1 video ever two weeks and see how it goes... Plus they might not be able to poop out decent video ideas that fast, unless you meant 1 whole week per year or 6 months... Idk. 🤷🏻♂️
Videos that stray too far from their specific niche tend not to do very well, so anything not computerrelated would be a waste of money.
Like a behind the scenes of Jayz two cents.
It's awesome to see videos from Nic and Phil. Nic just seems so chill the whole time, it's actually pretty relaxing to watch. Nothing flashy, or expensive, no need for the best of everything, just a reasonable PC with great performance, and it turned out looking really good. Phil is just entertaining to watch, and his excitement and happiness is really infective. And I love that Nic is just so nonchalant, and doesn't really seem to care if anyone else is impressed, he's just satisfied with it regardless.
Honestly, Phil has to be one of the best editors on all of RUclips. The montages… wow out of this world
Awesome to see everyone's personalities & letting them be themselves. It's great to really study peoples' decisions & weigh them against what you've been considering. Thanks for being objective & letting your staff have some creative freedom, the world needs more "managers" like you 🤟
Is Jay going to be a guest on NiczTwoCents again? I like the guy and he deserves a chance to be seen more
Been a subscriber since i think 2015 and man i absolutely love seein nick in the videos. I can relate to him alot and totally understand what he has going on as far as being infront of a camera. He killed it in this video and im super pickey when it comes to pc builds and that one is slick. Hope to see him in more videos!
I can’t agree more
Agreed, great to see this channel still thriving.
Seeing Nic and Phil getting their own videos is great to see, I can't wait for more. And always appreciate Jay's own two cents
Great job, Nic! Always love Phil’s editing and when Jay is unhinged. Such a fun video. 😊
Loved to see Nic doing his own thing! Love to see how you guys are making such a good team!
Great job Nic! Really like this setup, it's what most of us would actually go out and build.
That was fantastic. Love seeing how that was setup and the choices used .always a pleasure guys.
Watching the three of you faffing about is always worth watching. Congratulations Nick for doing a great job. And give him the Gundam 3090-he deserves it
Love the way you all work together. Like how things turn into teaching moments. Dream job.
Nice and chill video. The build not over the top and it's well done.
Thanks guys, great video!

Similar except for CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, and cooler?
I like these types of videos. Just Nic explaining why he choose his parts and Jay coming to critique it is just funny lol. I need more videos like this pls.
The cable management was the cherry on top!
That's a solid 'mid-tier' build by MoneyBaggs Nic. 🤪
Really enjoyed the slightly chaotic filming of this one. Especially the ending. I liked Nic's justification for his choices. Not everyone does a super deep dive on all the options, and his research was comprehensive enough. He had legitimate reasons for those choices, even if there were other options that could have improved the long term viability. Overall, a really fun video with some top tier cable management.
I am enjoying Nick as a host, think it was a cool way to bring the video together! Interesting to see the "midrange" in action, liked his choices.
You guys have such great chemistry and your own personalities that mesh well. Also very nice cable management. I've been building for years and still have trouble keeping it clean.
Absolutely love these vids of Nick and Phil. Great work
Nick: We're gonna make this build fast and reasonable
Jay: WE GOTTA WAIT FOR THE PLANETS TO ALLIGN FOR THIS BUILD TO WORK!
Very nice build, I really like the blacked out look, and the Asus TUF parts match the grey case nicely.
Need more videos with Nick and Phil. I really enjoyed this video. I like seeing other people's thought process on what parts they picked and why.
Give Nick a "Better than a Dell" build award. Good job with the build!
even a worst youtuber that build a pc can be better than dell lol
@@baoquoc3710 Nah Have you seen The Verge Pc build lol
Very cool to see Nic take the reins here.
The thing I enjoy about your crew is you just seem to be 3 friends that are in business together messing around and having fun.
I saw Nick do the intro and immediately was pumped about this video. So cool to see more of the team in front of the camera.
Good job Nick. Good reasoning on the parts and geat job with video. Just awesome.
Phil’s B-Roll and editing on these builds shots are phenomenal! *chefs kiss*
Great build! I learned alot from watching your videos and i can see nick has learned alot from working with you. Its always great to see someone build something they can be proud of! keep up the good work nick
1:51 Missed an opportunity to use Jay's email this time. Lmao
This is a build I would actually do. Good stuff Nic

@@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 "Read The F'n Manual"
when phil and jay are away, the nic will play. solid ass build for less than 2k which is pretty inspiring as i need a platform upgrade soon as well
Very well done Nic! Was looking forward to this video
Love the camaraderie and trust that this group of fellas have for one another! It’s so refreshing to see it in among the other toxic channels. Very wholesome!
❤😊👍🏻😎
Nice choices! I built almost that exact system a few months ago when GPU prices got sorta decent.
Nice
Sweet video! Great explanations and I like that he explained his thought process too.
Cool hairdoo too (never really saw him so close for long on a camera lol).
Great build!! Love the content! Good Job Nick!!
He's either been up wayyyy too long or blazed as balls lol love ya nick!
I noticed too 😂
Really cool build I love the case! Good tip with the fan thing that's the type of thing I feel like I would miss till I'm gaming. And then sit in indecision about whether to take it apart and fix it or just deal haha. Side note: That song is so lit I loved the lil flute
You looked very nervous when jay took a look at it 😁 but you did a very nice job Nic 🤩
NIce looking build, and good price wise as well!
It took a minute to boot because Jay took one of the dram sticks out. The tuf 4070 ti cooler is not the same as the 4080. The 4080 is the same as the 4090 though. The u12a is an excellent choice of cooler for that case. Good job Nic. Don't take that crap from Jay.
You actually did it👍🏾
That torrent case is so dope. Idk man, every time I see it. There’s just something special about it. It’s beautiful.
We want moar Nic!!
Speak for yourself
Got to love the "Deer in the headlights" look Jay gave right at the end!! Priceless!!
Let's go Nick :D
Nick did a great job. Really like the idea he didn't go all overzealous. He did a decent setup good pick with the case. NICE JOB NICK!!!
What a scream guy's, loved every minute of it. Nic did good.
Nic said he shouldn't be excited because it's his 5th build... I have more than that under my belt and still get super excited with every build!
Be excited (and proud) my man!
This kind of "build and assess" reminds me of the cooking competitions....except Jay doesn't smash the build on the ground and yell. Loved it!
I had to go back and watch the Gundam one again after this. It’s still a pretty sweet one. That setup would look pretty sweet on Nicks desk in the background instead of just collecting dust in the warehouse.
Jay’s critical analysis at the end was a true gift to Nic.
This is exactly why this channel rocks.
Nick's candid shots remind me of The Office, I love it.
this was an excellent video. take an average builder and see how he chose his parts and setup the pc. and then have the master see what was missed and detect common pitfalls.,i bet a lot of people learned something here. great job Nic!
Probably my favorite video in a while. Awesome explanation and reasoning for each part. I'm sure we all have little tweaks we would do, but overall solid build. I REALLY want to build in that torrent case too...
Good job Nic! Your parts selection made sense and fits the games you want to play.
But really Jay, you know very well that RGB isn't just "don't turn it on," It's a cleaner Windows install, and more importantly MUCH cleaner cable management.
Love the "Gray Man" build. It's low key and unassuming but capable. Nice Job!!
Jay in RTFM: You need to build something but keep it reasonable
Nick: goes straight for the torrent
Watching this video made me subscribe, I seen a few here and there but to have a boss like this supportive with employee…. Awesome !!
The bear that plays when the beauties are showing is lit! Love it! Awesome vid Nic!
I've missed the build montage segments with the fun tunes. Nice job, Nic!
Good job Nic! I managed to get an AM5 build together for right at $2k. With an R9 7900x, 32GB DDR5-6000, RX 7900x in An ASRock B650 board, a 1TB WD SN780, an EVGA 850 PSU in a Corsair 4000D AF. My Heat sink is a Dark Rock Pro 4 and it seems to be doing good for now with PBO on. May be replacing it with an AIO before August because even the AC has trouble keeping up with the heat. DDR5 has come way down in price recently.
Always happy to see a build in this case. If it wasn’t 2x the price of the phanteks one I ended up with at the time, would have loved to buy this one. I always use in PC Building Sim and do stealth fan-only builds in it, so well done Nic!
Best J2C video in a long time. Great work at explaning. Good choice of parts and a nice budget.
This has absolutely nothing to do with this video. But, I have learned a lot from you. Especially removing the mechanical HD from laptops and replacing them with a SSD. I’m about to do another one and I can not stress enough, that by doing this, it brings a whole new life to an older laptop. You’re awesome.
"You can tell Nic he's out of touch at..."
I am dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So friggin clean!!! Awesome job Nic & Phil
I really like this build. Minimum RGB puke and no AiO. Its a clean and stealthy look.
At 6:00, that was the greatest Phil montage cutaway or intro I've ever seen.
These guys are awesome.. so relatable bros. You feel like you know them.
Welcome to the Grey Torrent family ! Managed to fit a 420 mm AIO in front of mine and the 2x 180mm fans on the bottom with custom printed fans tray. I genuinely hate the prewired fans/rgb on the Artic Liquid Freezer II series... A lot of custom 3d printed mods... Use your skills !
Jayz quibbles aside, Nic rocked this build. Props buddy.
This is the most I've ever heard Nic talk
..and that includes the RTFM show
Update armory crate, then the gpu will update through armory crate as well. Once that happens aura sync will recognize it.
Solid mobo choice. I'm running the Asus TUF Z690 with the i7 12700k and have been really happy with the performance. I built mine about a year ago so paired it with the RTX 3080 12GB. For those three parts I paid £699 for the gpu, £359 for the cpu and £189 for the mobo so was really happy with that, Re-used my old case, storage, psu and ram and have a really nice gaming setup.
Nice to see Nic doing a video. Was wondering when this build would happen after listening to the RTFM show, glad you did it pretty quick.
"Abouuuut $672" lol idk why this cracked me up. Like you didn't know, but you threw out the exact dollar amount. Good stuff Nic!
Nic built what I would consider my next PC ( in maybe 2 years time), a nicely balanced dark build.
This is what makes this channel so great. Is the diversity or way they shoot there tech stuff and joke around and that. And doesn't always do the professional reviews and unboxing all the time
Nice build Nic, and you did a great job picking out the parts. Way to go Nic...
I love the stealthy look of this build, it actually makes the small amount of RGB look more significant
Sometimes "unpopular" parts are the best option. I built my pc a few years ago with a 2080 super gpu and a 3800x cpu. Neither of those parts got the greatest reviews at the time but I got good deals on them and they worked great for what I wanted.
I was very happy with the build but any reviews at the time would have said I should have bought something different.
Your part choices made sense to me and I enjoyed the video
Nic, I'm happy you chose to do an air-only err no liquid cooled rig, especially in the Torrent. That's what I want to do for my next build.
That was a very good work video... Nic hard at work, and you giving all those points, plus and minus... You forgot the 1000 points he startet with, with his acceptants of the task... I like it a lot... Learning by working a task... Still a great job well done, Nic... Rock on...
jay in his glasses looking at the build is just priceless
Great job Nic. I’d love to see more of Phil and Nic in front of the camera. You three are a great team!
Loved the team interaction and build components of this video! lots of fun!
These B-rolls are getting so dang good! Great job Nic and Phil!
