BTW there is a lot of GPU sag
Yeah with such a big GPU it just doesn't stay straight! its so annoying!!!
Nick Delligatti you guys are such girls
"A lot" is exaggerating
That's the same amount of sag I get with any MSI Gaming X card and a reinforced PCIe slot. Sit down.
Who tf cares about GPU sag nowadays
Moral of the story is, as long as you know what you're buying, it doesn't matter if it's pre built or custom built. I thought that was common sense, but hey.
It’s just the snobby PC elitists that think if you don’t build your own you aren’t a real gamer.
Dylan Smith ? Lol? If you play games your a gamer if you dance your a dancer that's like saying unless you get your own worms from the ground your not a fisher fuck off
Travon Heard common sense isn’t common. Everyone learned at one point they didn’t already know. There was some kind of lesson in the past. I hate when people say “it’s common sense” trying to belittle others.
Rude420Boi perspective and opinions are a lovely thing, aren’t they? I wasn’t trying to belittle anyone. That’s just what your gathered from reading my comment.
Zombiesize Hey smart mouth, finished 7th grade yet? Saying dumbass and proving you can't comprehend the point he was getting across is immature and helps us all get to a better understanding of your contribution to the conversation present.

I love camping

It's not camping it pooping

Pre-builts have always been worth it to some people. Not everyone wants to "get their hands dirty" and wants the thing to work out of the box with a warranty for the entire system.
EJ Tech those people must really like over paying for weaker systems then
I often ask the same thing when people pay a plumber, electrician or carpenter an outrageous amount of money to fix their home when they could do the same for a fraction of the cost. See when you know what you are doing, it's easy to criticize those who maybe don't or are not comfortable in doing the work themselves. Building a PC is no different. We may be confident in building a PC, however there are many who are not.
Did you not watch the video? Prebuilts now are actually cheaper due to the inflated GPU prices. When I built a new PC recently I kept my gtx 980 because a 1080ti is just too expensive.
SZU Gaming that was a horrible example building a pc is much easier than all those thing a 8 year girl build a pc on this channel I believe. So people need to stop with the excuses if you don’t know how to build a pc it’s simply because you don’t put the effort into learning how to building one. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve been we’re all the noobs have been I just wanted to buy a prebuilt just because I was intimidated buy all the wires and pc parts I’ve never heard of in my life I was never a tech guy I even put buying a pc on hold for 2 years but one day something in my mind told me to keep trying and so I did I watch multiple tutorials on RUclips how to build A pc and kept watching videos and slowing I would understand I took it step by step and questions I still had after the video I used google to search the answers. For example I didn’t know how to wire the LED lights and power buttons so I would spend 1 hour looking up the answer and it wasn’t that hard I didn’t know where the hell I was supposed to get all the screws for everything well guess what all the screws comes with the case. I’m telling you once you do some research and see people build your gonna realize it’s honestly not that hard I was never that sharpest tool in the tool shed in fact I was on special ed all through elementary school. I’ve got friends with 16 year old and 15 year old Learned how to build a pc.
Wobbled and what he said was bullshit that pc cost 2500$ plus shipping and without tax.the pc I’m building rn with perform the same with 1800$ and that’s including tax and amazon ships for free. and that’s with the monitor and keyboard and webcam and microphone and there’s still room to upgrade. Stop believing everything you here and do it yourself. Plus I forgot to mention I have like 4 awesome red led fans.

Jee, I wonder what the outcome will be🤔🤔
Do the math yourself price the parts up on New egg or where ever and you will find that at the time this vid was made it would be hard to build a PC cheaper than a pre made one.
He justifies his reasons. You should attack his argument not the basis of how he gets it to us. We wouldn't have a comparison without the sponsor. I have no idea why people attack the creators when you all consume hours of content for free on your side. He's done the math and off of that it is overall cheaper and therefore worth it........
He justifies his reasons because otherwise he looks like a much bigger scumbag than he already is for receiving a super expensive computer for free because he made a video about it.
Classic case of, "I've got enough subscribers to start making money"
Pakku G So your mad that someone has more money than you, atleast his sponserships HELP him PCs arent cheap and u see all the hardware behind him, 1080 ti’s are like 400$ each and he has like 20, all the money obviously goes toward these well made informative videos and ur mad that he wasnt going to spend 1500$ on something when he CUSTOM BUILDS his pcs way over that budget. You sir are an idiot
John Kristian he sent it back btw 😑
Damn I work for Fedex that hurt 😂
You better not be throwing any PCs around 😂
I spent a summer working at the Dallas UPS Hub. Yep, the volume makes you throw boxes. No idea what's in them.
Randy Guttery yea that’s why they need to be packaged with a whole lotta love lol
not alot of lust
What is that beautiful monitor called? It's making me cum myself. I need it.

The answer is yes unless you don’t want a gpu
Kjell what is the system called
Link mr
Bike Dude yeah that’s what I thought
a pre built 1080Ti system from ANYONE even before the GPU price hike was never below $2000 as far as I am aware (unless paired with an i5 or less/similar priced CPU as well as cheaper storage/case etc...)
Agreed. Though for me here In Norway for some reason gpus are really cheap even considering our insane VAT of 25%... I got my 1070 for 500 bucks
Yes it's worth it to gamers who cant or dont want to build PCs..its a reality not all gamers are PC builders ..facts.
literally... watch... 1.... video..... and save.... $300...i-
@@CrazyPartyCreep I'm not trying to spend $2000 just for my dumbass to fuck something up... Just because something is easy for one person doesn't mean everyone should do it. It's like working on a car, I may know what I'm doing but I'd rather someone like my mom or my sister to spend the extra hundred bucks to take it to a shop.
Some people just... don't want to risk it. They will watch the videos, they will do the research, but they still don't actually want to physically build a computer. As someone who does it as a hobby? I get it. Parts can be Doa, components can be not compatible even when said otherwise, and there will always be a niggling doubt in the back of your mind, 'did I build it right? If this component fails in a few weeks, is it my fault?' and some people just don't want that.
some people also just don't want the time investment. It doesn't take long to build a PC but if you are unfamiliar it can take hours, between research and actual construction. Or you can pay extra (honestly not even that much extra) to have it prebuilt.
It's not quite 'follow basic instructions, snap parts into place and use a screwdriver' even if sometimes it feels that way. I think pre-builts make sense even if I would never do it again.
@@AlexiconPrime Nothing you typed is relevant except compatibility issues. Prebuilt systems can be DOA. More to go wrong in shipping. Prebuilts are for lazy incompetent individuals. They have to do research regardless. How else would they know what they're getting with a prebuilt or if it will meet their needs? It is snapping parts into place, running wires, hooking wires and using a screwdriver to assemble a computer. Unless you're doing a custom loop or using an AIO. Which the majority of newcomers aren't.
CrazyPartyCreep every one is different. I don’t wanna spend a lot of time building my stuff, Im moving to a new house and starting a new full time job. Don’t want to order all the parts, construct and cable manage. Also, I’ll be making good money so everyone is different
Pre-builts make sense if you're building an entire rig from the ground up. However most builders are re-using their cases, PSUs, drives, etc in order to save money. A lot of builds are nothing more than MB, CPU, GPU and memory upgrades, while re-using anything else that doesn't need a replacement. With the inflated GPU prices, it's still a wash if you're re-using parts. But pre-builts are competitive for from scratch builds.
DeadPolymers thats what i did I bought a prebuilt pc with 8gb ddr4 ram an intel i7 8700k 1tb hdd 16gb sdd wifi apdapter for just 580& them I bough a gtx 1080 for 360$ n now i got a beast pc for 940$ already friend gave me 1080p monitor thats he had laying around
Reinaldy Cabral
Question. Im a console player so I don't know much about PC stuff. But is a CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Master GMA2600A Desktop PC with AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz, NVIDIA GT 730 2GB, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, with Windows 10 already installed worth buying? I want to start playing on PC but idk much about them
munchymonster9
i play GTA, COD, Roblox, and Rainbow but right now i been playing a bunch of gta. also thanks for your opinion and options.
[edit: the GT looks good. im go consider that a bunch but its a bit out of my range. amd go be my option most likely. i dont need nothing to expensive since i never been a pc player besides of me playing only roblox]
yup still rocking a Dell Desktop i got from bestbuy, upgraded its PSU, GPU , Ram and its been running pretty beastly up until a year ago because games are a bit more demanding and 4k is like huge now. I think my 2nd generation i7 is bottle necking the shit out of my pc.... CPUs expensive... my GPU is kinda outdated too got a GTX 970...
Yeah ive been building my own pc's since I was 15, started at frys electronics.. But ive finally hit a point where im sick of my AMD processor and just want new everything.
Even NZXT doesn't use the NZXT N7 Z370 motherboard
It's likely made by MSI for NZXT anyway?
the computer specs were decided by Jay... its on nzxt motherboard on default
My bad then, i should check first
jay didn't use it because it was $150 more expensive
that motherboard looks a little cheap, it shouldn't be that expensive
This is out-of-date as the GPU prices are no longer inflated, meaning pre-builts are still more expensive. I'm putting this here for anyone who noticed this video is old and looked at the newest comments.
Aerexon wym the prices are still high
You can get a used 1080 ti for around 600$ - 700$, at the time that this video was made you could get one for around 1100$ - 1400$ @PhantomHax
@PhantomHax for example, their top build right now is "The Santa" for 2000$ and on sale for 100$ off (normal price being 2100$). I built it right here - pcpartpicker.com/list/zXj2LJ for 1892$ including the price of windows and with some changes (that wouldn't change performance) I could get it down to 1800$ or lower.
RX580 8gb for £180. Basically a steal
yeah but that extra $200 is shipping and assembly... so worth it I'd say@@AerexonV

Jay - “I went balls to the wall”
Wall - “Don’t put your balls on me”
Don't worry... He shaved them first.
I love building PCs (something oddly cathartic about it) and I've honestly never understood the vitriol towards pre builts, I pay more to have someone prepare my meal when I go out to eat and don't constantly bitch about that. "It's more expensive" Well yeah, no shit, it's a business not a fucking charity.
Exactly what you just said.
I think the stigma behind pre-built PCs comes from the baseline models sold in stores like Walmart and BestBuy - cheaply built garbage with integrated graphics cards not made for gaming that overheat and die in less than 5 years. I say this from experience and would never recommend it to anyone. When I hear the term "pre-built" that is what comes to mind.
I eventually learned to stop complaining about price and just save the money needed to build the system I want that can be made to play any game I wanted. Imo, the best PC is the one you learn to make yourself.
Yeah, I remember when they were first coming out. Mind you, they were offering a solid built product but, what was once a great name is now just a joke amongst us.
Yeah, I'm talking about boutiqe systems, not OEMs. My mother recently bought a dell for 1100 bucks with a 660 and a 6700 non K. That's not legally criminal but it's certainly ethically criminal.
Okay, so, I've been looking on buying a gaming desktop for a while. I've been told that its not worth it, that they're over price, and I should built one. Here's the thing, I don't know shit about building computers. I would rather buy a pre-built one and know that it'll be working right out the box.
WillyToTheMe get the people telling you to help you build, or at least choose the parts (as long as thy know what they are doing)
Honestly just get a pre-built, the pricing is negligible or sometimes better on the pre-built when you take into account OS prices and it is a lot safer to just get one ready-made. Saves you the worry and the time spent learning about everything you need to build one yourself. Most people who say it's overpriced and worth building yourself are people who 1) enjoy it 2) already know how to do it and 3) probably built theirs before gpu prices went through the roof and changed the value of pre-builts compared to custom built PCs.
Some of the prebuilds ship with different components that you choose and the support after getting the pc is terrible, also theres a good chance it won't work out of the box since they sometimes ship them with defective components. Just youtube cyberpower pc now working or ibuypower, same can apply to any other company.
@@SC_Pilot Do you know any reliable Pre Built companies. I'm worried about defective parts being shipped to me.
@jupiter - velocity micro. My old VM pc lasted 10 years and is still running but long in the tooth for new games. I just bought a new $8k computer from them. Works like the beast that it is.
Yes they are worth it because GPU's are so goddamn expensive right now
I agree, they are selling them in a system at close to MSRP, so at the moment they are good value
only if they would ship somewhere other than the US :/
I'm sure you could find a more local website that will ship to your country. They're all basically the same, just look at reviews
Still cheaper to build yourself. I just built the exact same PC on NZXT BLD and PCPartpicker. About $200 cheaper to build yourself
vKILLZ0NEv if u choose a gpu thats not in stock.. choose on that is in stock for example, $ price to € of the bld cost would be alot cheaper. since bld is not available here, I just ordered the parts and am about build it by myself
"I want to play League of Legends in 1080p at 60 fps."
Recommendation: Sunbeam 2 Slice Toaster
To make it not pre built just unplug a wire then plug it back boom

5:47 Just goes to show you how horrible the optimization for PUBG is when even Battlefield 1 has more FPS compared to it LUL
It really is better optimized with the 1000's of employees DICE had working on it and an engine specifically designed for it.
He is on all ultra which no streamer use
Battlefield games have always been surprisingly easy to run in my opinion. The engine is just optimized really well.
i ran battlefield 1 at 60fps+ on low-med settings on a gts 250 $75 build. waoh!
I just started black flag because it was recommended to me and I get 61fps vs doom @ 220+fps (compared to older game for fairness). There are some crappy constructed games out there
I just saw this on their FAQ sections:
" We currently do not ship to locations outside of the United States"
And I was like "Oh,fuck"
Depending where you are there are other options. The EU has CyberPowerPC(also a US company), PC specialist(UK) and CCL(also UK) both of who ship to all the EU. Buy off amazon/Ebay so they cover you as well if you're unsure about the companies.
Bought 2 pcs from CyberPowerPC uk version (for me and someone else in my house), I do recommend them.
haha same
I mean, as long as it's built correctly I don't really care. The only reason I'd make my own was if I was FULLY educated on everything there is, which currently I'm not, so a pre-built is fine for me.
OfficialThiano The good thing is you don't need to be FULLY educated on everything in a PC to build one. If you can work RUclips, you can learn to build a PC. I 100% understand why you're hesitant though, and prebuilding sites like this are a good thing.
Hardest part is cables, and everything is labeled, so you're basically just doing adult legos with a matching game added in.
You know the problem though? one can never get FULLY educated in this stuff, theres always something more to learn / explore. Ive been building my own / for others for years now and my brother CRUSHES me in pc knowledge. But all thats needed is a willingness to learn it, a level head with COMMON SENSE and a adventorus spirit
I used to work for a popular package carrier, can confirm that boxes get tossed all the time (not by me, I promise)
yeah, who likes a job in an industry that always tell you to 'hurry up!!!'. lol
Sylvain Piche Isn't that every industry, though?
yeah but my feeling is that a package carrier is one of the worst, after McDo...
Same, and the flippers to send packages down the chutes knock your package harder than a fall ever will lol
ok, just ran the auto build option and clicked my favorite games. Got my exact current build. Can testify that their algorithm is good.
WE DID IT!
not relevant anymore.. your 2019 budget pc saves over $400 and is faster compared to their beginner pc.

It’s *2 thousand dollars* keep that in mind
On Newegg the GPU he got alone is already 1000+ dollars. He just got expensive parts. And like he said at the time he purchased it if he would've made it himself it would've been more expensive

Honestly, I love prebuilt PCs! I feel like you get a higher quality of cable management and also a better cooling, because personally, and for everyone else whose like me outside, I am not always sure when it comes to details about how the air should flow and the little stuff that can make a difference. And eventually you top everything up with a warranty!
But if you do a little bit of research and take your time, building your own PC is great! The best part is you control every single component that goes in so you know exactly what your getting. Trust me, its worth it.
only thing about air cooling you need to know is that 1 fan needs to throw air in and one out, you only ever need 2 fans on the case. Front pulls air in and back throws air out.
@Αλέξης Ανδρικόπουλος you don't need any experience, just watch a few youtube videos and you're good to go and make a pc. I haven't built a full pc in my life but I wouldn't have a problem building one. You just need to screw mobo into the case as well as hard drives or solid states, put ram in, cpu, cooler, gpu, plug connectors from power supply to each needed part and your good to go
An hour or 2 of work.
I am with you though. yeah its easier then ppl think to pre build. I think a lot don't know what to do and with that you don't realize what comes with what. like cables. I just prefer pre built though as you get a warranty, and well it should be working. you are getting it from what should be experts and they should verify it all works etc. then at least when warranty is out, you can then upgrade parts on your own. now for the most part, I look for basics though. like ram, hard drive etc. then buy more ram, hard drive etc as its usually cheaper then getting a system with those in it.
Interesting subject.. GPUs are starting to move downward a bit.
came down a bit, but they are still 40%-50% over MSRP
They've always been over MSRP tho lol let's be real
it'll be like that for a while ;( but as long their in stock i don't care gonna get me a 1070 ti this june. :)
I say by three months last next launch gpu s will be normal again
Btw fly eagles fly
I would've happily bought a system off the NZXT's website but unfortunately they don't ship anywhere outside of the US. I live in Italy :((
OverclockersUK ship to europe
Ironside
Ship it to me in nyc I'll hold it for you when you come to the states n pick it up 😎
bella fra pure io vivo in italia😂
I am definitely glad I built my own, but there is a huge advantage in having a pro do the cable management for you. Also, I mean come on, being able to pick the color scheme as well? That is an awesome addition. I hate my cable management right now, but I really don't want to undo everything I did just to find out my first attempt was the best I could do.
2:10 thanks for making my future packages feel very safe
I think a prebuilt using off the shelf parts is much different than a prebuilt that us older folks think of (Dell, HP, etc). This is basically just paying someone to put together the computer you want with the parts and brands you recognize. I still think of prebuilts as the old Dells with weird Chinese motherboards, proprietary power connectors and "OE" video cards.
exactly, now its just literally same price but paying an extra 50-100$ for them to assemble and ship it, my PC now is an old prebuilt that can't be upgraded and going to go this route as its the best deal i've been able to find on any custom site or other prebuilds. when getting thier top end stuff NZXT BLD tool is legit af. just saved $500
I bought an NZXT BLD and cant wait for it to get here. I chose this over building my own because I want something I can just plug in and use and can upgrade components down the road. I have lots of better things to do than sit around building a PC.
Yes. Especially now. I've seen a prebuilt by Alienware with a 1080ti that costs less than a very expensive inflated 1080ti.
I'm loving my prebuilt. Had it for just over a year now and it's running like it's brand new. And also now that I've done some research, I'm going to upgrade it or build my own next time!
hey do you think that BLD ships to Canada?
Check out Origin PC. I live in Canada and I had one shipped here. They are a little on the expensive side but they make serious systems. No joke.
where did you get yours from?
Please tell me what type of prebuilt you bought!
I got my Asus ROG GT51CA earlier this year, and honestly i cannot fault it - to know that you haven't missed anything, that it's been done amazingly well, and that you can send it back ALL at once is soooo good to know. Also, literally just plug and play is nice af.
I mean, with GPU prices right now, it's almost cheaper to just buy a pre-built right now.
Lol, in my country a GTX 1080 Ti costs 4000 $. Electronics were ALWAYS 2 times more expensive than in _Amerika,_ but now it is just insane!
I'll sell you mine for $3000 lol
My wallet is all lubed up and ready, lmao
Piotr Czajkowski I’ll charge 2700
Talk to your politicians. They are being greedy.
Recently got my first proper "gaming" laptop about a month ago now (happens to be what I'm typing this comment out on, lol), and honestly I'm pretty happy with what I got. Acer Nitro 5 with i5-9300H, GTX 1650, 8 GB of RAM, all for roughly $700 off Amazon.
I was determined to go for a prebuilt cause I don't have the knowledge of how to assemble all the parts into a functioning PC, but I did my research on what desktops and laptops I found and compared the components with what I needed to run the games I wanted to play, and all in all I'd say I'm fairly happy with the end result.
So in short, if you want to buy a prebuilt, it really depends on what games you're gonna play, how confident you are in possibly upgrading it down the line (hell I've considered installing an extra SSD on this laptop in the future, and probably an extra RAM too), and what you're budget is. But yeah, I'd recommend it so far.

Here's what makes this "pre-built" thing work. First, you've taken the GPU pricing spectre out of the loop, bringing the price down to reality! Second, as, Jay mentioned, nothing in this "unit" is proprietary. Meaning you can get your hands in there without wondering if shit's gonna be compatible etc. Unlike the old days, you bought yourself a, Dell, or an, HP and wondered, "How up-gradable is this thing?" I personally have been on both sides of the fence on this topic. When I built my FX series rig, none of this shit was going on. "Pre-built" was a thing of the past. Until now.
Maxokll I can build the system the exact same with key board and mouse and monitor for 1900 if you buy this your paying 400 more for just the pc
Exactly why I'm NOT buying something like this. I get more satisfaction building it myself and saving some money all at the same time. I'm glad you pointed that out though. Someone who's new at this and not so savvy may see that and learn something from it.
Last July I bought a pre-build that was a few hundred dollars cheaper than msrp (at the time). I've replaced/upgraded everything except the HDD, mouse, windows OS and case that came with it... wish I knew I'd be upgrading everything beforehand
Jayz, dude... thank you so much for your videos man. I am a photographer for White Castle, and I needed to push my processing power to the next level. I literally watched your videos, left them on in the background, and coached my plan out. Long story short, my first build was on the p5 chassis (easy enough) with a hard line loop. Thanks man, this thing boogies. Also, SOOOO COOOL TO LITERALLY SEE YOU GO FROM A LOGITECH WEBCAM to BLACK MAGIC type production :P
I just blew the fan bearing on my Radeon 7850, everyone please pray for me.
I hope its a Windforce or any other tripple fan card, then you could still game on it until you can afford a new one.
Chuckiele it's reference 😭 it's sad tho cause I can't game anymore
Well that fucking sucks. Maybe you can strip off the casing and attach some case fans with cable ties until you have a new card but thats about as much as you can do. Its not a great card worth saving anyway but you still have to keep it until you can afford a new one. Im having the same problem with my 7870 -.-
Chuckiele beginning to hate amd to be honest
I dont blame them. Its a fucked up situation but Im sure they are prepared for their next launch, same for Nvidia and their suppliers. Its just that there most likely wont be new GPUs anytime soon.
I built a RTX MSI 2080 gaming trio with Ryzen 7 2700x, Rog Crosshair 7, Trident Gskill 16gb 3200mhz, Corsair 750x power supply with Samsung evo 860, and 4 fans with red dragon s101 keyboard mouse combo and carbide spec 2 case for $1875 with 4 year warranty on the important components. I bought everything in a bundle on amazon and financed it for $100 a month. If I bought a prebuilt it would have cost me over $2700 because places charge $300 to install without you knowing so it’s way cheaper to buy the parts your self. I also bought everything 2 weeks before Black Friday as pc parts will be cheaper . I’m from being a Xbox one x fanboy to building my own rig so do it your self ftw.
Just an FYI, not sure how much you care about your credit but those installment loans are usually called CFLs, or consumer finance loans, and they have a massively negative impact on your credit score. In the future, if your credit is good enough, you'd be much better off applying for the revolving Amazon credit line.
Toaster N'Friends my credit is in amazing shape I use the affirm app and it doesn’t negate any of my credit, only if I were to use PayPal or any crediting site that uses a hard credit check then my points would drop by 15-20 but I been using affirm for years and even got my girl past 750 for trans union and equifax. Just don’t have more then 3 hard inquiry’s and have more then a few accounts open and over 3 years of accounts open and 100% payment history and your butter.
Black Friday is a scam. They always run out of what you really want and try to bait and switch you. Besides I'd rather not fight the rabid single mother wanting that plush toy for her little girl who's sleeping at home that I wasn't even wanting in the first place. In any case, I am planning on saving up for a new pc. I can't do much with my current build as my motherboard can't support the Ryzen series. So might as well go all out and build a brand new pc instead of ripping out the cpu, ram, and mobo for new versions. Whoot! Nearly 3k in parts so far and I haven't even shopped for 3 new 144hz 4k monitors! Though is 4k really worth the cost? Woulding 2k monitor be good enough?
DarthWubs ya Black Friday is a joke and if you buy 2 weeks before it’s actually cheaper because they raise the price on items that are low on stock but as for monitors I bought my msi yoptixmag27 144hz for around $350 and it’s amazing especially for be a 2k monitor.
Bought a prebuilt, 8k nok. gtx 1060 3core, 8gb ram, core i5 8400 with a ssd and 1tb harddrive. Would had cost me about 2k more if I was gonna build it myself .-.
Thanks for exposing this website to laymen like me. It saves me the trouble of researching about the pros and cons of each part's specs, making comparisons, making a choice, etcetera; especially when I know next to nothing about PCs and absolutely nothing as to how to build one.
Prebuilds are for New Buyers or full machine upgrade.
Not for users like me, as I am waiting for the Gpu prices to lower, I am only upgrading ftom Fx 8350 + Gtx 760 to maybe i5 8500 and H370(if it comes out within next month) and maybe GtX 1080 if prices lower. Have PSU(seasonic), Case, HDD, SDD
i cant stop looking at the back ground too much parts lol.
supplier: how much pc parts do you need.
jay : YES!
So did anyone else try to put there own together vs newegg? Newegg was 550 cheaper....
yes in stock . only diff was the brand was vcard ram and Mobo i chose the MSI Armor one and trident Z 32GB ram and Gigabyte board. everything come out to 1690. NO OS tho ... depending on what state you pay sales tax and its all free shipping. that even includes the extra sleeved cables and fans ect. but it still may be worth to some people to pay a extra 500 for a prebuilt build where they dont have to assemble.
2800...
Buys prebuilt-gets Intel HD graphics
What about the AMD Vega talk then?
I know this is over a year old, but I just purchased a system from NZXT, of course I did this before I found this channel and BitWits channel. Watching these have made me more confident. But, I paid $2108 including shipping, and building it on part picker it would cost me $1997. So for $111 more, they built it. Not too bad.
As a first time pc buyer proud to see pre build was a good choice i made before i watch this vid for all the reason jay jst said on his vid ppl dnt wait buy a pre build from nzxt or i buypower they have the nzxt case and better same price look at my channel to see nzxt i buypower pc runs all game over 60fps at 4k with epic or insane settings max out 2018 is dawn of the pre builds with out over paying im so happy as a new pc gamer only took me 3 days to master the keybord and mouse u cn aslo play with xbox one controller plug and play i keep my consoles only now for exclusives and i have my consoles hook up to my awesome ultrawide witch i cn use split screen to run both on my pc setup if ur new or jst want a good buy buy pre bulids from nzxt i buypower or nzxt what ever is ur taste
I got a prebuild GTX 1060 ( only 3gb 😒) Ryzen 5 2600 ( 6 core )
256gb ssd
for only 720€ to my brother as a bday present 🎁
he has just turned 11! ☺️🎉
Building your own pc in here, Finland costs more than just buying a prebuild with windows already installed, it’s cruel tho...

@@anskuhei5758 you can order parts online ...
I'm an avid gamer, problem is all of my friends have been going from console to pc. Obviously I want to keep gaming with my regular friends so I want to make this change as well. To make my comment shorter I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos. I am that person that feels slightly uncomfortable trying to build one myself, but I do want to give it a shot. Your channel has really helped! Thanks again, and keep them coming!
“Pretty close to MSRP” Yeah right! On the website they wrote that the MSRP of the MSI Gaming X GTX 1060 6 GB is 359.99 USD. That is such a rip-off since I can buy the same card with 360$ CAD, and that’s with the inflated prices... By the way, the MSRP of the card is 250 USD...
Adrien Lesage yes that website is not cheap at all.
I somehow finessed this card for 269 about a year ago new from amazon. Jus checked and the price is 350+
Rohan Sharma Damn!
North America only :(
But of course.
I’m sure if it does well they’ll branch out or more companies will follow
I had a talk with support and they had no plan at the moment for expansion of this service for other countries.
MageThief damn right Master race
If they bring it to Europe I hope the prices won't shoot up too much.
I am one of those people who is not necessarily confident that I can build a computer by myself without damaging something. So, I am looking around for a company/individual to take care of the whole build (of a PC for video editing), or someone to work with (i.e., supervise) me to build the PC.
I would like to be better at this, and your videos have definitely increased my confidence in doing a 'solo build' , so thank you, Jay.
I'd be careful with those AIO watercooling solutions. Mine leaked a couple of weeks ago and almost killed my GPU.
I got lucky because I noticed it and acted quickly. I immediately unplugged the PC and ripped out my GPU. (scary shit)
It didn't work for a while (3 days) but eventually it dried out and now I'm able to tell the tale.
Lesson learned: never use watercooling in a work PC.
Also air cooling will give better constant performance over water cooling, you can use the fans until they stop fanning.
You know how rare leaks are super rare.
And so are water cooled systems.
In the statement you just made, you're re-enforcing the cause FOR buying a pre-built just for the 2 year warranty alone.
oof I'm about to get a AIO cooler from corsair(Hx100i v2) should I be kinda worried about this happening or no?
I don't understand how self-builts were ever cheaper to begin with. Surely the manufacturers must have economies of scale on their side?
They pay bulk price for things like gpus and cpus
My PC is a pre-build. Bought it on a black Friday sale through Best Buy. Pricing out individual pieces came out almost $150 more. I do not have the technical skills or the patience to build my own. Works perfectly fine for now, but I'll just upgrade pieces as I feel I need to.
there are different in fps when you're in small village and big village like pochinki. if you want to see fps for pubg try going to either pochinki or yasnaya.
Well I got my Pc from a site called CyberStormPc and it was a pretty good deal they have Pc from $600 to $6000 they only charge between $100 and $300 for a Pc build
I think you're right on par. I went with iBuyPower and got my computer made out for $2282 during the Memorial Day sale and two and a half weeks later the same exact system was $3800. Today with the power the pre-builders have with buying the parts enmass lots they are able to push great deals to the masses. With the also included incentives the companies can bring to bare onto the market it makes getting a good high end pc affordable and easy. And the professional build, optional OC, and burn-in processes and sending you a complete startup out of the box and play in less then an hour after you unbox is awesome for the price. The warranty also makes it a lot less scary and IMHO better then self made rigs.
To be fair, PUBG just got a huge update (9.1GB) where it's more optimized then when the benchmarks were recorded for the hardware. So, everyone should see an FPS increase. I hope NZXT sees this and updates their BLD database based on the new PUBG update.
That is an interesting point......how would you say Fornite compares? Part of the reason that PUBG has declined recently was due to the horrible performance (which wasn't rectified until recently as you said), and the horrible way Bluehole treats people.
Why increase in file size if they just need to optimize the game.
Except you could see PUBG dropping into the 70's... :P
Base Jacker because they know
I can't say that epic games is any better on their support. Asked a request to get my rewards back that were lost, and after 3 months they answered with poor grammar that it was claimed, that's it. Did not even bother to answer why they can not help me. But what do you mean with comparing? There's very few performance flaws in fortnite, nothing is perfect. People play PUBG due to mostly the shooting mechanics that are better/worse depending on the side you're on.
So I just watch this without knowing the entire price for his build? I want to know how much it cost him.... Tsk.
just go check the site...takes 30 seconds
Its 2500+ tax
Bro that was fucking hilarious. “Isn’t that camping?”
Jay: “No, i’m not outside.”
I lol’d
That is not prebuild.
It's paying someone to build a pc with specific hardware. Different things.
No it’s the same thing. You just have this weird mentality where if a computer arrives PRE BUILT it isn’t a prebuilt because you picked the parts? Almost every prebuilt allows some customization of parts--from Alienware to Cyberpower to Falcon Northwest. You’re just delusional.
I wonder how much fps they guaranteed in World of Warcraft, and how close it was in raiding environment to their predictions.
Our cheapest Warcraft PC predicts 103 FPS at max settings or your money back.
@NZXT do you offer shipping of your BLD systems to canada?
103 fps in 30 man raid at max settings? I would love to see that ;) But ye Wow isnt really an benchmark or anything its just quite poor optimized game in raid environment.
Will you guys ever be adding the 3gb ver. of the 1060 to BLD options?
Numbers if the 1060 is MSRP then yes
Maybe i'm just getting old but there is something awesome about putting your rig together yourself and praying that it makes that first boot up without issues. It's a joyful and nerve racking experience all at the same time lol.
BIG DISCLAIMER: DOES NOT APPLY TO EUROPE.
Thanky you for reading.
Not bad, I think Digital Storm is better
lol they charged $1000 more for the same exact build as NXZT and even xidax was cheaper...
I was going to build a gaming PC but I stumbled upon a prebuilt gaming pc for prices I could not ignore. My dads friend owns a tech store and gave me a special sale. It was $1,200 MSRP going for $850 but he gave it to me for $700.
Specs:
Core i7 7700
GTX 1060
2x8gb ram
128gb SSD
1TB HDD
RGB lighting
you got a great deal, that computer still retails for like 1150 from a build company like cyberpower, so for $700 it was a steal.
That fedex guy throwing the computer monitor over the fence... I owned the same computer monitor, it was one of the first 120hz monitors available, and boy did it have quality control issues considering the massive price tag it came with at the time. Well it wasn't even quality control, it was more "This time is fundamentally flawed," because of the way they mounted the panel, a screw was right underneath the right side of the screen. This caused literal distortion and disgusting light bleed. Wanted to fix it? Good luck, most of it was glued together... So getting it back together was impossible (I had already upgraded, I was just seeing if I could fix the issue, but I couldn't since it broke apart like cheap mcdonalds plastic).
Yeah, fuck Samsung TVs/Monitors. They really have dropped the ball on TVs/Monitors for quite a while now. QLED being their biggest blunder so far. However if they could feasibly get microleds into the mainstream, they would transcend every panel technology currently available by magnitudes. Microled tech = OLED, but with none of the issues, nanosecond response times, much brighter, higher pixel count potential (much much much much much much much much higher). Oh and theoretically it could reach over 5000hz+ where the human eye literally wouldn't be able to tell the difference between an image on the screen, and something IRL. Microled would also allow for MUCH higher color depth.
no gpu can do 5000fps and there is no content at 5000fps.
if only NZXT BLD shipped outside of the US
jeez ikr, i just configured for fun only to find out that it doesn't ship outside. Kyle had mentioned this earlier though
Mick King Find a friend in the States, then have them ship international. 👍
Jeff Smith hehe, it comes to the same price
2:10 I work in a warehouse that gets a lot of deliveries from FedEx and UPS every day, and they don't care about treating their boxes well at all. UPS is definitely the worst. We're their first stop so plenty of times they'll open their back door and boxes will just fall out of the truck because they're so packed.
I just have to ask, have you tried CyberPowerPC?
DaLtOn vLoGs it seems like you know what your talking about, I really want a pc my budget is 800-1K I don’t know what to do, I don’t know if i should build or get a prebuilt. If you make a custom CyberPowerPC do you have to build it or do they build it for you? I’m 11 and don’t have ANY experience with building stuff, and I don’t want to screw it up. Any help will be appreciated 😀
RaGe Solar haha it’s alright I’m just 14 myself.. but for me I went with a. Pre built pc, just because I didnt have a lot of experience with building them.. I’ve heard they are very simple and very easy!! But for your first pc I would get a pre built, and cyberpower is one of the best companies to get one from.. when you get one I would make sure to get a intel i7 processor, and either a GeForce gtx 1060 graphics card, or a 1070 based on what your budget is, if you can’t afford that then get a 1050ti, cause that’s what I have and it’s very nice.. also I would make sure to have atleast 8gb of ram! If not 8 then 16gb of ram!
RaGe Solar and yes they build it for you
Mischievous Emperor no no a gtx 1050ti for $1000 is a horrible deal

I've bought 2 pc's from pc specialist in the UK. Get to configure the parts you want. Excellent 3 year warranty and customer service. I went pre built cause it was all cheaper than building my own. Guess cause they're buying all oem. Since buying them all components have changed over time but well worth having a look at pc specialist. There customer service is second to none. Any problem I've had they've patiently walked me through it all.
Where the 370z videos at
He bought a new car, does he even have that car anymore?
hanse81 he does still have it, he has both
car_guy 1000 probably on his car channel
What is the software he uses for the Fps tracking
just use fraps
They usually upcharge up to $100-150 only because they assembled themselves. If you trust professionals more than yourself then go for it, but the “budget” way to go about it would be building it yourself.
also included 2 years warranty and customer service(heard its great). I myself aren't too familiar in building and also afraid might damage some parts.
Oh $hit
Not really
Yo Jay ive been trying to build a PC with a budget of $1200 or $1300 including the monitor. I just want a good gaming PC that will work amazing with 1080p. I don't want to over pay using a high gpu but not go to low either. Do you know what will work for me best?
For 1080p gaming I use a gtx1060 6gb, with an i3,16gb ddr4 ram, get an ssd for fast load/boot times, and a 144hz monitor makes all the difference
Daniel Espinoza Chris Cable I know a great company it’s called arrowhead computers. They helped me out a lot with my pc. Www.arrowheadcomputers.com
Daniel Espinoza I just wanted to say if u build a really powerful pc I don't think u should cheap out on a monitor cause u won't be able to use ur pc to the fullest with a cheap monitor u should balance out the money between a monitor and pc
Go to ironside computers online and the offer computers u puck the parts and they offer keyboards mice monitors capture cards headsets and mics
I built one with a 1070ti acx 3.0 an i7 8086k 5.0 ghz and a monitor for 1588 ish after getting 80$ off from a coupon code and totaling 1433$ after rebates.

depending where you live in the uk there are some pc component stores such as aria in manchester but otherwise use websites like aria , scan, overclockers uk etc
Why Heff u do dis Thanks for that info
I can help you put together a PC, but what games would you play and at what resolution
I mean besides that game. Also, what would be your budget if you have one right now?

Try to build a custom pc. Prices for gpus have dropped to how they should have been.
i just got a pre-built with a RTX 2080 for $1500...

5:22 pretty cool that NZXT has the FPS for individual PC games based on the hardware the customer chooses.
RYZEN APU FTW!!!!
FTW = For The Wankers?
its more like "for the waiters" because you literally cannot by a gpu right now
Not worthy buyinh anything regarding grapicscards in 2018. Maybe at 2050 the price will drop
So... other than the parts costs you're saying they charge only a $99 build fee and flat $50 shipping? That's an amazing deal.
I have it all configured to my liking, I want to click buy so badly, knowing my wife would kill me if I do... Hmm. I think its worth sleeping on the couch for a few days.
EDIT: Ok jayztwocents. I purchased. spent.. uhm.. well a lot. my wife is gonna kill me. Oh well. it'll be worth it.
how’d it go? how is it?
And what if i live un europe?
You can always use a service like myus.com. It provides you with a 'virtual' US address (and answered or forwarded phonenumber). The address is bassically a storage box number and when all goods are delivered to your US address, you can send it with various carriers like UPS or DHL to your own real address..
I'm using myus for about 10 years now and usually sent things to Europa about about each quarter (additional paid option). So you can order your system from NZXT, order some additional components from NewEgg, Target and some Ebay junk and once it is all delivery, you forward it home and you only pay a single shipping fee outside the US if you use the premium service..
Build it yourself. These pre builts aren't worth the mark up pricing, you can get scammed by these companies as well, just check on youtube for cyberpower pc or ibuypower pc not working. Check a couple of linus tech tips vids and you'll be good.
I bought my rig in 2017 for $1199.00 USD. It came with a 1700x, GTX 1070 and 8gb of RAM. A bronze PSU with a 256 SSD and 1tb HDD. I'm still running the system today but with some upgrades.
I felt it was cheaper because I tried to buy the individual parts and they costed more than the pre-built system. Happy with the purchase!
I know exactly what ur talking about😥😥
edit: (sarcam)
To be honest, I think they are worth it depending on where you get them from and what kind of deal you get. I built a computer with a 1080, 16GB ddr4, and i7 7700k that I had them overclock, an AIO, RGB. The works. It came with a mouse and keyboard, which I didn't even need because I already have. That whole build cost me $900 less than it would have if I wanted to build it myself at the time. That's the only reason I even considered it, because I've been building my own PCS for 7 years, but I'm not above saving almost a thousand bucks if it's going to be the same.
I really want to get into PC gaming, but I don’t wether to buy pre built or build my own. I know NOTHING about pc but want to experience PC gaming. I really just want the PC to play those steam games that aren’t on console and maybe when I got comfortable with the PC I would try the AAA titles.
You know, I would be extremely excited to build my own computer. I don't know 100% how to do it, but if I saw more of your videos regarding it, I'm confident I'd be fine. However, I don't have money to burn so if I could save money buy getting a pre built PC, I'd be more than happy since it'd be cheaper, 100% done right AND I'd get a warranty.
I still would love to build my own some day.
I replaced my old graphics card with a new one for the first time in my life. I was shaking the whole time plus I'm super sick right now but I'm so afraid of breaking something even though I really want to build a pc. I bought this pc in 2015, pre-built, and I hate my case. I now know my motherboard is old and my CPU is almost not usable when it come to new games, or so says my radeon software. My CPU is a FX 8320 and my mother board is a MSI 990FXA (so its listed on my parts list) and I chose one the most difficult cases I've ever seen and the case has a foam filter in the front that's really hurting my airflow and seems impossible to remove. So it's almost time for me replace all of that and I'm super scared (not that I have the money for that right now..)
Love your videos, I learn so much from you and wish I was there learning from you in person. I love computers and have always been the electronics guy in the family but we've never had alot of money. Still I've been very blessed to have what I have and my pc is still kicking and I've only had to replace flans. I got a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 8gb for christmas and replaced my old Color Master R9 280 with it and it worked first try, thanks to you, lol. But next is to get more ram, save up for the other stuff, and hopefully build a pc that will keep up with games for several more years, I hope. I bet if you saw my pc you would have a heart attack. The cables are a mess, I have a fan controller that does nothing for me except shows temps of my pc parts, and DVD/CD drive that I dont need in todays computer world. Wish I could show you this thing.
Thanks again J, love your videos and keep being awsome. Your very helpful.
having warranty is pretty nice in my opinion. gotta be worth something
I love this vid. For me never building a PC not being a PC gamer and not great at building. This was amazing and easy for me to know what to do on getting a gaming PC. Thanks guys
