JayzTwoCents gets to keep the two cents
SO THIS IS WHERE HE GOT HIS TWO CENTS.
xd
This needs to be top comment
They're Jay's Two Cents
this made me so happy :D
The microcenter guy told Jay to keep his $.02....
Give that man a promotion.
Jay's 2 cents lmao
I missed it, ty for this :)
@@ploperdung that was good yet terrible
yesss
You win good sir. That was amazing!
I would sacrifice all best buys in my state for 1 microcenter
Give it time... they'll eventually finish sacrificing themselves.
Same
Best Buy has gotten better in that they price match just about everywhere now, but their inventory is usually shit, so you can't price match what doesn't exist.
Microcenter is 3 miles from my house and it's seriously like having an adult playground in your area. That saves you money and beats most any price anywhere.
@@SirNickyT saves money usually yes, but one time I saw a keyboard for 90$ (ck530 to be exact) and it was 65$ on amazon!
Me when I sort cases: *Sort by cheapest*, find one that doesn't look like complete garbage.
It can look good but build quality will suck
@@maciejrudolf ...but you can save 50 to 100 bucks for a system you will set up once - i bought a decent µATX-case with 2 rgb-fans for like 35€ (on black friday, 51€now)
- and tbh: they're all cooking with water, just priorize your points of interest: cheap(check),glass(check),rgb-fans(check),good airflow (magnetic mesh top+down)... for that prize?
Why not, if you accept it's a half mm(mil) thinner steel, the HD-sliders are plastic and the overall fittings are TIGHT (but doable)... no risc-no fun^^
I'm very much a function > form guy. I don't care about RGB or anything like that. I'd much rather put my hard earned towards performance over aesthetics. I've been using a $50AUD CoolerMaster N300 case for a fair few years now and it's great.
@@prianpurche9832 which case did you got?
@@_WyreTheWolf The older I get, the more I believe "you get what you pay for." I used to be the type who always sorted by "lowest price first," now I almost never take the cheapest option.
One of the main things that started to shift my thinking was shoes. I worked at a shipping warehouse on my feet all day, and tried buying some cheap ass Wal Mart shoes for awhile. They feel great in the store, then 3 weeks later it's like walking on cardboard, causing leg and back pain. And I'm skinny so it's not like my weight had anything to do with it. Had to spend another $20 on shoes every 2-3 months. So I said fuck that and went back to my normal $45-80 range for shoes. They last for years rather than weeks, and break down cosmetically rather than painfully. Costs less in the long run.
When you're young you don't consider the long term as much, probably because you don't have as much experience with it. Also when you're young, most of us don't make as much money either, so you do what you gotta do. Sadly, _it's fucking expensive to be poor._ You literally can't afford to save money. Can't buy in bulk or buy quality, or take advantage of those nice holiday deals. Just makes people stay broke. I'm still far from rich, not even "comfortable," but I get really sad and angry thinking about people who have it worse than me.
Hopefully, when you get older you're able to take more factors into consideration. Like what type of business are you supporting, do they use sweatshop/slave labor, etc.? If I look up a company and find nothing but a bunch of fake review sites, I won't buy from them. And I do google every single brand name I don't recognize. If it's cheap, it's cheap for a reason, and that reason might be a whole lot more sinister than just poor QC. I'd rather give $40 to a reputable business than save $20 buying some sketchy knockoff for half price.
I’ve never seen a store with motherboards, nevermind such a selection.
Microcenter's pretty good for parts. I finally started buying parts for my first build, and I've split between New Egg and Microcenter (with one stop at Amazon for a power supply... of course three weeks later New Egg had the power supply that I wanted, oh well).
Yeah best buy does. But yes. NEVERMIND THE SELECTION
Microcenter is awesome. I drive 45 minutes to shop at mine.
I’m lucky to have one 10 minutes away from my house
Hehe. “You can keep the two cents”.... so one coild say that its Jay’s two cents?
You SOB you stole my line
i'm glad jayz get to keep his two cent ~

“Where can I save money...”
THE CPU JAY
There’s barely any difference between 3700x and 3800x
not true, there is more to the equation than just specs. The 3800x is better binned silicon. If it's not good enough to be a 3800x, if most likely ends up a 3700x. 3800x's have better success rates at all core OC's and running the IF at 1800/1900. Well worth the $20.00 premium if you buy on amazon.
@@nc0gneto That slightly better binning only benefits to extreme overclockers where every mhz counts. I have yet to see a Zen 2 can't do 4.2Ghz with ambient cooling. Even if the 3800X clocks better, it is at most 100mhz higher, which won't make that much of a real world difference. Since Jay is working with a tight budget, I would rather go to a 3700X than a lower tier motherboard
Edit: Or ditch the AIO and just go for a 3900X. the stock cooler is good enough for stock usage and I'd rather go for 4 more cores than some AIO with little performance benefits
Yup, and drop the AIO and stick with the wraith prism.
I love Jay but as soon as he said he was picking the 3800x and went for an AIO over a 3900x or a 3700x I remembered why I only watch Jay as an entertainer and not for tech recommendations 😅
Or he could’ve dropped down to a 2070 super and be done with it.
10:35 *screams at monitor* TRADE OUT THE 3800X FOR THE 3700X
(screaming all the same...)Jay! Bro! SERIOUSLY! You're even all buddy buddy with Stevie...better price/performance with the 3700x over that 3800x...I think your dismay with intel distracted you from the voice of the reason in the moment 🙉😜
Right? He coulda just left that AIO on the shelf too.
@@Psycho-Ben pretty sure that would only be a $15 savings right now. Why not go 3800 for that amount. That's what I did.
@@pttthhh Sure, but he's not buying now. The difference was $50 and it's definitely not worth it then. I got mine when it was $30 different, but only because I got an extra game that I wanted.
@@Kenman884 understood. Yeah, mine was +$15 with Outer World's, Borderlands 3 and the XBox 3 month thingy. Easy decision for me.
Absolutely love that store from the episodes I have watched. Stores 20 years ago had extremely helpful staff and centered around PC repair Rather than wider product ranges. Looks to be the best of both worlds there.
16:49 is 'good to know' info for new Ryzen builders
i was 'sorta' nervous on my build (3950x/auros master/64 g neo mem) cause nothing was showing up on the monitor that i kept on reconnecting/switchout GPU's even changed monitor. Before hand, I knew the monitor and gpu's were fine. So i just let it run on faith and went to the restroom.. praying to RMA gods will be kind to me if called upon.
Coming back to a nice bios screen.. was my first happy moment of 2020. There was tears.. hehe..
Usually, you just want to give the computer time. It's always best to double-check every cable and the RAM fitment. There are not many problems you can encounter when building a new computer. My advice is to take your time. Taking your time comes with peace of mind as well.
My 3900x/aorus master build sometimes does like a 2x bootloop at start up and can't figure out why.
Aorus mobos are shit, at least on the ryzen side. My x470 couldn't OC my ram to 3200 but a B450 Tomahawk could and l was able to make a higher stable OC on my cpu too... fking garbage charging so much for an x470 when its BS
i built brand new pc with ryzen 7 3700x and it only did one boot?
Built one the other week. Mine did 4-5 boots twice. Scared me as I thought something was wrong. Nice to know this now =)
Microcenter looks like heaven, too bad we don´t have that here in Germany :(
Neither in Holland... Sort of have to look at reviews, order the parts and hope they're good.
Dafür gibt's Mindfactory, zwar nur Versender aber top. Oft gute Preise. Bei gebrauchten Teilen lässt sich sogar die Garantie auf den nächsten Besitzer überschreiben. Zusammenbauen tun die auch. Jakob ist gut bei Einzelteilen, meistens sehr günstig und keine Versandkosten.
Or the UK sadly.
@DamageIncM Yeah, same here with Mediamarkt and Saturn. The "biggest" PC area was in the Conrad Electronics store in Berlin. There were like 15 CPUs and 10 GPUs ...
They're always packed also.
The service Jay is receiving isn't unique to him just because he's a well known RUclipsr (in the tech space) in my experience. Microcenter associates here in NYC will actually stay with you if you are going around and need to choose parts until you say you are done or no longer need their assistance. There was one instance where this associate spent nearly 30 minutes with a shopper because he was building his first PC and was moving away from Macs.
Jason Bourne Jason Bourne same here down in Texas, 4 years ago when I was picking out my parts for my very first pc build an associate explained a few differences on components and helped me with making a decision on a few areas I needed to budget, safe to say I’ll be going there next week to build a similar specd pc to this one :)
Same in Ohio. I’ve had great luck with their staff
@@jeffverdin6105 Sharonville crew is pretty cool. Great store.
They get paid by commission so of course they will stay with you the whole time if they know you are doing a $2000 build.
@Daniel very true. They’re salesmen will stay with you and put their stickers on everything. I’m cool with that as long as they know they’re stuff. Love the store for sure.
Jay: "If you come to Microcenter"
Me: *cries in Hungarian*
Me: Cries in Spanish
*laughs in Mayfield Heights*
It's Okay. I'm crying in English here in Utah. I want a Microcenter here too!!!!
Cries in england
Cries in european
"Unless you're watercooling don't go with this case"
Stares at air cooled PC011 Dynamic next to me...
Jay is totally wrong on that, the O11 Dynamic is one of the best air cooling cases out there, it's even better than the O11 Air, yeah, ironic.
@@FastSloth87 The reason why you generally dont want to run an air cooler in the O11 Dynamic is because it doesnt have a ton of clearance for most air cooler towers.
@Coburn Karma 60-80 C under load (normal vs stress test) on a 3700x with a 140mm noctua sideways tower (it's late I don't know the name off the top of my head). 99% of the time it's so quiet the hard drive spooling up is the loudest thing in the room
@Mekronid I do think it's strange that it gets that hot with this cooler, the case pumps out a lot of hot air, and temps don't change much with the side panels off. It idles around 50, but that seems to be a trend with zen2
@Mekronid I have the voltage tuned down, which keeps it in the 70s usually, less in games. I've tried different pastes in the past and saw little difference between them, I've assumed noctuas paste was some good stuff which is on there now. I'm on the second latest bios for my board (taichi x570) because the newest one at the time caused it to not boot in xmp mode.
"All the fans are turning, that's a good sign."

thats what i thought when i built my pc cuz i didnt have a monitor yet so i turned it on and i was like, well the fanes are spinning and the gpu is lighting up (its an rog strix card)

Went to a local Micro Center in my area for the first time a few weeks ago.They have everything you could imagine. Lucky to have one in my State I should say. Place is PC heaven
For a 2k build he's really holding back. I was able to get a 2080, a Ryzen 3900X, and an Asus Strix X570-E, with 32gb of ram for just a smidge over.
Hehe "smidge"
@@smartroadbiker I'd call $2,033 a "smidge" over 2k.
@@smartroadbiker Or were you laughing at the word smidge, lol
You were able to get away with it because you probably had a case and PSU etc. He did not.
@@patrice6373 I didn't either. That's a full build. The only PC I had to that point was a laptop.
To me it's a funny coincidence that EVGA PSU has never failed you and it is literally the only one I've had fail (2 years in). That said, defects happen and their RMA department was amazing and super easy to work with. Great company.
The warranty of EVGA is why I buy them. Even if you buy a used EVGA card you can get the warranty transferred. I bought two used cards and got the warranty transferred.
you know it's nice to have a self service shop like this. where I live, computer shops are mostly connected to 1 near warehouse/distributor. The shops are only consisting of a cashier desk, and some laptop or phone. You can only see the product once you ordered it and made payment. The shopping process is not satisfying at all, you choose and pick the part you want from the part list, mostly without any picture, only name and price, then made the payment. The staff will take it from the distributor and be back around 30 minutes. So that's the first time you see the box.
And yes, when 1 shop says that the part you're looking for is out of stock, it means it's out of stock everywhere.
I'm just dropping a like for the employee dude. He put up with your finicky shit and knew details on specific hardware. Ya, they prob set it up, but everything looks fairly impressive.
totally missed the "jayz two cents" when the guy said you could keep the extra two cents!

Micro Center is awesome. This is my actual Micro Center store that I currently go to and have been going to for years. They have an awesome selection that has significantly grown over the years. Plenty of cases, graphics cards, moatherboards, keyboards, gaming chairs, etc. They also have employees that genuinely know what they are talking about. Micro Center is my Disneyland.

"No Jay, we have SSD at home"

@@supersimon126 ah, good ol caviar 500gb from 2007
If only there was a Microcenter here in Florida.
I just told someone else the too!!!
They don't have these in Florida? Thats crazy there are 2 in Maryland oddly enough but none are in my city
Passive VII florida is one of the most populated states yet we don’t have any! there should be 2 or 3 of them imo
I personally would have gone with a 3700x and 2070s since the 3800x and 2080s aren't huge upgrades for the cost increase. I think the 1Tb nvme was overkill when a 500gb is more than enough for a boot/main drive and 1tb ssd for games won't significantly sacrifice load speeds. Also, the box cooler for ryzen 3rd gen is solid and doesn't need to be immediately replaced. The reason I think these changes are important is because this video is meant to help first time builders, but almost every first timer will also need to buy a monitor and peripherals which will be a large chunk of budget. These were the choices i made when building a computer with a 1440p monitor and a $2000 budget.
Comments: I wish I lived near a Microcenter.
Me: Has three Microcenter's less than 1 hour away.
"Suffering from success"
Im assuming youre in new york then? LMAO
I've got one like 10 minutes away.
There is one in Dallas Texas. Got all my parts from there when I built my PC last March. Well... except for the 2T hard drive and the 1070 everything was new.

12:45 "You can keep the (Jayz) two cents"
6:30 I love how you "built the system" with the components still in their boxes, probably what I would've done 😅
And in general, I love how IRL this video feels, with not only the "where to cut to fit the budget" part, but with the 4-5 boot loops of Ryzen... I have built a few systems in my life and still, every time it freaked me out to wait for a post, not to mention if it needs 4 or 5 boot loops to do so 😅
16:30*

Every time I tried to boot test I always forgot to turn the power supply on, so immediately I think something's wrong lol

Me: 😂
PanteraNP he finally got two cents 🤣
Notice how quickly they cut? You know it's because Phil lost it and couldn't hold the camera.
After checking some prices, one place I might have saved money is keep the 2TB SATA SSD but drop the NVMe down to 500gb. Less drastic of a storage loss.
whenever Phil leaves the channel may be over. not just because of the editing but because of the awesome savage banter back and forth
I wish microcenter had stores in more states
I wish they were in Sweden
This, I would basically live there
I have one nearby me in STL, but sales tax is just short of 10%. So even though parts are usually cheaper at Microcenter, it ends up being cheaper ordering online as long as they don't collect taxes in your state and offer free shipping. For me, Microcenter is only useful when the online stores are out of everything and you don't mind paying a small premium. We need to petition the government to subsidize computer nerds by not taxing their PC paraphernalia.
Cost savings to be had x3700 instead of x3800, different case(fractal design meshify?), different m.2(maybe dunno current options)
buying a single 2TB nvme vs (1) 1TB nvme + (1) 1TB 2.5" SSD.
Very good points, let me expand on this:
1. A less expensive and/or more versatile case (you may still want mechanical HDDs for e.g. music and videos - I certainly do!). Maybe your old case is still good to go? Possibly $40-100 saved.
2. 3700X for sure. The 3800X just draws a lot of extra power for very little performance gain anyways. That's $70 more in your pocket.
3. Since the 3700X doesn't run hot at all, throw out the AIO in favor of a good tower style heatsink. It's the more reliable, cheaper and possibly quieter option (low speed 120/140mm fans vs. AIO pump noise). That'll free up another $70-80.
4. Definitely find a better offer on an M.2 SSD or maybe just skip M.2 alltogether! Maybe you would see an improvement in a direct 1:1 comparison, but I can't tell the difference from SATA in daily use on a very similar setup.
How about the 1TB SATA SSD to hold your game library and a smaller one as the boot drive ($150 saved)? Or buy 2 1TB SATAs if you really need that much fast storage (still ~$100 less than the M.2 option).
5. I'm well aware that you're not supposed to cheap out on power supplies and I know that Jay likes EVGA PSUs, but let's be reasonable:
Does a budget build justify splurging on a top-of-the-line 750W PSU? Even with a heavy OC (and I don't personally see the appeal of pushing +30% power, dealing with the extra fan noise and possible instability for MAYBE 5-10% better performance - /rant over) and a whole bunch of mechanical drives, a decent 500-600W PSU (e.g. beQuiet) will handle our demand without breaking a sweat. Shave off another $50.
The ~$300 we just freed up could go towards a 3900X/3950X (w/ 600W PSU), more/faster RAM, a better mainboard, case fans, RGB, HDDs etc.
Or if you're just going to focus on gaming, how about you buy a decent monitor which can actually take advantage of that fancy 2080 you just blew half your budget on?
@@ELHV 1.g.skill ripjaws 5 is 3600 cl16 for $81.99

4. Case I like $99 fractal design
5. My build with using stock prism cooler 3900x all other parts and 729.99 2080 super (before $30 rebate) $1823.05 with tax 1920.02 with NH-14u noctua but for the price you can still fit the 280mm @ $1966.35
Wow. This video is literally “can jay remember addition?”
Jay, you should always go to MicroCenter in a 1987 base model Pontiac Fiero when buying a case that has tempered glass side panels. Make sure someone rides along so they can wedge the box against the dash and their stomach in a very strange and totally uncomfortable position because the box is 2 millimeters too wide to fit in the trunk. Also, the journey is not complete until the ICM overheats and leaves you with two and a half firing cylinders exactly four miles after leaving said MicroCenter.
Coming back to watch old MC videos after seeing the new remodel really puts things into perspective as to how much they've expanded and updated themselves.

WOW, that Micro Center is SO different from the one near me (the only one in Michigan and the only one I've been to). The one here is so cramped, disorganized, messy, and doesn't have nearly as much stock or selection. That one looks really tidy and open, and has so much more product.
Fry's Electronics used to have a selection similar to what's shown in this video about Microcenter. It was possible to walk out of that store with a full PC-to-build in your shopping cart.
I've had a EVGA G2 catch on fire before... Opted with a Seasonic Focus, haven't had a problem yet. @7:11
With a large enough sample size eventually you will have something fail no matter what the make or model. I haven't used PSU's from every manufacturer out there, but I've handled more than most people will ever see in their life. I also had several PSU's that I've only had one of that failed on me. I've only used one Zalman PSU ever, and it failed after something like 6 years, which I think isn't too bad. I used a PSU from a manufacturer that back then was only known for their cases. I think it was Coolermaster or Thermaltake, but it was long ago and one of their first PSU's ever. It failed within months as the fan seized up and the the PSU overheated. These were a sample size of one, which means the results are not in any way significant, but the funny thing with statistics is that on a personal level feelings tell me I shouldn't trust a Coolermaster or Thermaltake PSU ever again. At work and in private machines I've had PSU's from Corsair fail, but as we used a lot of them the failure rate was actually very low. We had a few Seasonic PSU fail, but again that was a large sample size so it was expected.
I'm not saying that all brands are equal, far from it. Some are very much better than others when it comes to failure rate. This also extends to things like regulation and efficiency. If it was all about reliability there are a few brands I have experience with that has been way better than others in my experience. Two that comes to mind are Delta and Zippy - Emacs. Delta is a huge manufacturer that makes a lot of PSU's for the big PC builders like HP, Dell and so on. In my experience their PSU's tend to be extremely reliable. Zippy on the other hand is a small manufacturer that specializes in server grade power supplies. They also makes some sales of medical grade PSU's which is a very specialized market. Their PSU's are heavy, loud, pretty expensive and will probably still be working when we are dead and buried unless they are powered down. They ain't pretty but boy do they pump out the power.
However if you go the cheap route be prepared for the worst. I remember one time when we tried to cheap out on the PSU for a series of 200 machines. The PSU manufacturer, who shall remain unnamed and probably aren't in business anymore, was very nice and we had a long good talk about PSU quality and pricing. In the end we had more than 30% failure rate within a month and had to replace every single one of those PSU's. The manufacturer gave us a full refund but it certainly didn't make us want to buy any more of their products. We had to eat the extra cost for having Zippy process an express order for something like 210 PSU's and then rebuilding two hundred machines. And it kind of strained our relations with the customer...
You should reach out to Henry Cavill. Build him a Witcher themed computer lol
Jay would need to special order a UK-spec power supply... and Cavill himself has said that he's owned custom built PCs, and he wants to build one for himself.
Regardless, I appreciate the sentiment and would like to see a Witcher-themed build at some point.

I was at micro center on Tuesday . Clean bathrooms too! Save on SSD and skip Samsung evo for P1 crucial for $94. Dump the AIO for the stock cooler and 650W would do the job. Save $200 more right there. Would go with Asus tuf gaming plus WiFi for $144 in bundle and AMD 3700X for $299 or even the 3600 for $159. And be out for $1500 instead of $2000 and 94% of the same performance.

Same. After CompUSA went under, then Tigerdirect bought them out...then went under, now all we have is Best Buy in SoFlo and they carry maybe one of each mid-tier component and a founder's Nvidia TI. Back to NewEgg and Amazon price watching.

This means there are benefits to going gen 4--if you plan on plugging in any other x4 or x8 device(including expansion card for more NVMe) so that you no longer get x16 on the GPU. Something to keep in mind.
No Jay, we have SSD's at home...
SSD's at home: 🥔
Ssds at home : 8mb diskette
"Don't let me build your PCs .."
was that ever an option ?
I wish microcenter was in the UK :(
Or at least have some sort of a pc building website that ships worldwide
Do we even have a PC store?
PC World has pretty much just turned into Currys, and its getting more and more difficult to find second hand computer parts at COMPUTER exchange
I have two micro centers an hour away from me. The only problem is I am broke and don’t run a pc building channel.
Yeah, we have PC World which is a joke. Hardly have anything to do with PCs, they have more choices of irons and hoovers. Basically it's an electronic store, oh like currys. The PC World name is a joke.
We have CCLONLINE and OVERCLOCKERS!
I wish there were Micro Center's in North Carolina. I used to go to one all a time when I was a kid in the greater Cincinnati area throughout the 90s. Also, there used to be TigerDirect's and CompUSA locations near me. I love that you can buy computer hardware in the store and have it the same day without waiting for shipping.
Got an EVGA 970 FTW+ in one of my builds. Has a back plate and a custom RGB back plate on that. Does well!
Yeah, Jay; I'd like to see some benchmarks.
Jeez, I wish we had one of those stores here in Belgium.
So a question. How is Micro Center succeeding where Fry's seem to be failing with next to no stock save for the Las Vegas location?
Just putting my .2$ here but I bet it has to do with the top end of chain at frys more than anything
Thanks for the boot looping warning. Took two minutes for my build to turn on first boot. It now boots in 14 seconds.
I really wish Microcenter had more widespread locations, I'd be much more comfortable building my first custom PC right there with someone who knows what they're doing within reach.
Jay: I don't have a calculator because I forgot my phone.
Jay's Apple Watch: Am I a joke to you?
I mean, it is an apple watch after all.
I think he has a Series 3 or 4. They don't have the Calculator app I believe. Unless it got added with WatchOS 5. I own a Series 5 and before that I had a Series 1. So I don't remember if any other than the 5 had it with the update.
MsToshi1990 - They do.

I've never been to a MicroCenter before.
But I do like how their prices are apparently very competitive (even with online) and they have a build service where they can build th PC for you.
When you were looking at the ram I thought one of the ceiling tiles was missing, but it was just one of those mirrors to see around the corner.
I actually just built my first pc yesterday it was a i7 5820k (hardly used as a friend gave it to me) a msi 1660, 32 gigs of ram 750 gigs of ssd space. I am so hyped! I upgraded from a amd fx 6100, 16 gigs of ram, and a 750 ti.
Unfortunately the closest microcenter is 5 hours away from me in Houston, but every time I take a trip I always make sure to go there because they're so amazing
I miss being able to stop by TigerDirect, when I lived in Florida, on my way home from work.
Wow, there's a Micro Center about 30 minutes from work, or a little over 1 hour from my home. 🤔
Road trip! 😊😊😊
A little out of the way, but worth it! 👍
lucky
Lucky you, because the nearest one to me Duluth, GA is just over 3hrs one way not counting the horrendous traffic the closer you get to the Atlanta, GA area, then my gas, and time. so again lucky you!!! Seriously Micro Center needs at least 3 - 4 locations in every state that are within an hour for people to make it worth it vs. online, or even local like Walmart, or Best Buy.
Both TigerDirect and Micro Center are about 1.5hrs from me, luckily they are very near each other so I can make both in one trip.
9:26 WTF! JayzTwoCents considering Thermaltake!? It must be an impostor!
I was hoping that Fractal case at the end of the shelf will see some love. I sure love my Meshify C mini
@DamageIncM That's not the point. In the past Jay stated he will in no way work with Thermaltake after what they did to Caselabs. He even disrespectfully threw away the Thermaltake products that were included with a press kit for (if I remember correctly) Threadripper. Jay hates Thermaltake last time I checked so this kind of surprised me. I'd still prefer a PSU from Seasonic, EVGA or Corsair though (in that order). A crappy PSU could destroy the rest of the hardware.
"I'm my own boss so I can take as long as I want" damn man chill out
My country has nothing close to the customer service like this does.
The shops we have (if you're going as an inexperienced builder) will only do the best they can at making you spend the most. So it's best that you do twice as much research by yourself and just buy exactly that, not letting them sway you.
14:04 Ah damn this desk with monitors on it and power cables reminded me the workshop where i've been during the practice time when i ended my studies
Keep your two cents says him to JayzTwoCents
Could of gotten the 3700x Ryzen over the 3800x. Cheaper for the budget and practically the same CPU
Actually ive both and 3700 oc better. I dont know why does it even exist
That's something I was thinking, just a lower price bracket Ryzen. That would've helped stay in budget as well as the changes he was making.
8:45 “or your wife”. Lol so kind of him to think I interact with the waman
How lucky you are to have stores with parts on shelves. In the uk even the biggest store has display models with on screen ordering with assistant’s if needed. 👍🏴🇬🇧🤠
FINALLY a nice knife , if wached so many videos were no one has a pocket knife to open boxes . that gets you a new sub .
What’s you favorite cereal Jay? 🥣
Jay: Boot Loops!
I built a similar system a few weeks ago i went with a gigabyte rtx 2070 super oc windforce. 3900x and 32gb 3600mhz ram full system $1800 usd
You did better than Jay.
you could probs make that a 2080/s for ~$2000 then
12:43 Welp. Found Jay's 2 cents.
I dig the no mechanical drives. I got an 860 EVO 4TB for everything. Mechanical drives are for overnight backup tasks only.
Fair play to microcentre. If I was in America, I'd definitely check their prices before assuming online is cheaper
YOU CAN KEEP THE TWO CENTS
Jay, how did that one fly so far over your head?? 🤣🤣🤣
Why do you think it did? Pretty obvious it was planned as the acting from the employee was terrible.
14:50 $50 more to install an AIO over an aftermarket air cooler? IMO it's easier to install an AIO than most of the large AIOs that are available.
I think you meant to type large “air coolers” instead of “AIOs” twice...
I agree but its worse than you stated it was 149 air cooler 249 aio. 100 more for aio goes beyond rip off
@@RF-wv7ip No. If you read the description, it says with OS install for the AIO one, whereas the $150 build does not include OS install. You have to pay $200 for the build with OS if you use air cooler, and $250 with an AIO.
No matter what happens and how non-experienced I am at custom looping..
I would *NEVER* pay an extra fucking 800$ for some assembly job.. o.O (800$ may be if they include all the watercooling parts in that..)
@@FrancoRav yes but the 250 price was with out os as well the left side was prices without os right side with it was 100 difference
Hey Microcenter…
I can do this too.
Hit me up.
First time I tried to boot my 3700x and nothing happened, my heart dropped into my stomach...A few minutes later it came up. Never been more relieved.
I bought the exact same processor, motherboard, and ram at the Microcenter here in Columbus Ohio about 6 weeks ago. I feel so validated that someone who builds PC's all the time made the same choices as me
Just kidding, I didn't watch until the end. I have the aorus elite wifi 😂
"Im not as good as I once was.. But I was good once.. As I ever was"
249 for aio install? i feel like i'm in the wrong line of work
$250 for at max an hour of work, sign me up!!!
In fairness to Microcenter, AIO installations are either dead simple or something you spend an hour on--it depends on the case. A good one like the Lancool or the O11 Dynamic make it simple, but my Corsair Carbide SPEC-Omega RGB was a royal pain in the ass. I tried both the Corsair H100i and H100i Pro and neither would fit in the top radiator mounting locations. Those are Corsair coolers not fitting in a Corsair case, mind you. There was exactly one way to mount the AIO that didn't put too much strain on the connectors *and* provided enough space to also mount the fans on the radiator. So I can see why they might charge an extra $50 to mount an AIO when they didn't get to choose the AIO/case combo.
Just installed one last week >< with the H100i, corsair case and AMD board. Hardest part was deciding what directions I wanted the airflow. Probably 20 minutes or less. I don't remember the intel boards being that difficult either
@@ndnd1671 I've built a lot of systems with the H100i line over the years. I just wish Corsair put more thought into clearances and airflow when they make their cases. And maybe check to make sure their AIOs work in their own cases while they're at it.
@@docferringer I got the crystal 570x and wasn't too bad. It's not aligned perfectly with center of tower but it works and easy to setup.
I was there 1 hour earlier, didn't see you... :'(
He was there when the store was closed at 7:30am
Since you asked for critiques :) , I have a small one. I would have kept the better MB and gone with an air cooler (Dark Rock Pro would have worked nicely). Would have been about the same heat dissipation and saved the same $40 in dropping down to a lower MB. But, I do not know what Microcenter has available for air coolers, so you may have actually gone with the best choice available.
I've had no issues or multiple reboots on my setup. 2700x - Tomahawk Max & HyperX Fury 3200MHz - booted right up into bios the first time I put it together
Seriously they charge $250 for an aio installation that takes less than 10 mins to do... I love that store but that's ridiculous.
Later in the video it does show that that price is for them to fully build your PC with the inclusion of an AIO. So in short, they charge you $100 on top of the $150 for building your PC for you.
@@starwarssky which in no way is a justified expense. Half the time aios are faster to install anyways
@@tarfeef_4268and I get that. I didn't mean to say $100 isn't much, just wanted to point out it wasn't $250 to install the AIO but still is expensive at $100. Personally I've done a full custom loop and sometimes the difficulty of installation might be worth the cost due to how much time you have on your hands.
