So great to see Jay bringing his 6 year old son to Micro Center to create a father-son set up. The shots of Austin standing 6 feet in front of Jay aren't fooling anyone. Great video, guys.
i built a "mid-range" PC back in 2018 for $600, to hear $1,500 and "mid-range" in the same sentence sent shivers down my spine. I'll still let my old guy kick around for another half decade
It's the GPUs. The market never really recovered from the price scalping of the RTX3000 series. Intel and Nvidia went "Wow! People will pay double the MSRP? We've been charging too low!"
@@AndreChaosweapon I understand why he chose 12th gen yeah but LGA1700 ends with 14th gen so there’s realistically no upgrade path after 12900K. Austin’s AM5 build makes more sense from a future proofing standpoint.
@@AndreChaosweapon It’s a 3 year old chip lol. Silly justification for a soon to be obsolete platform. I don’t know about you but if I’m upgrading to the newest gen hardware I’d want to at least have to option to upgrade my other components as well. He had a goal for the video and he accomplished it but mentioning that he had future proofing in mind is pretty disingenuous.
Since the 7900X is currently $319.99 at Micro Center, it would have been interesting to see Austin's build with twice the core count instead, it would have been much more competitive. It would have been easy to save $20 on the case to make it happen.
As a European, I can never understand when these videos are made and they say "I've got $1500 to spend so I went to $1497"..... Do they forget about sales tax??
was Great watching you all at Microcenter in Miami and Thank you for taking Picture with us and letting us meet you. Appreciate you! Great video! I am in it YAY hahahaha
AI will fail until be trained correctly, learn about looking for discounts, bundles, etc. A simple order is given look for a mid-range spec, the AI will do exactly what is given, but us with better experiences and knownledge will make better. AI is good start point to look and get some answers, try it yourself! look for Copilot and see for yourself, its free!
It's not that often that you get to see Phil behind the camera. Jay needs to buy Phil a harness that will raise the camera up over his head when doing these shoots 😂
I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't create the prompt a bit more professionally - I.E. "Build a PC from microcenter with the best performance per dollar up to 1500 USD"
the vast majority of people dont know how to use anything "AI" (generative programs). Further exacerbated by those who just dislike the technology and go out of their way to use it incorrectly/poorly
I just entered your exact prompt into the same AI they used and the results were essentially the same, but the total was 220 below budget so I pushed it a bit and heres the results CPU: Ryzen 7 7700x GPU: RX 7800xt(only after I told it to consider amd gpus) Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 gaming X AX V2 RAM:32gb ddr5 Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe SSD Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower - $69.99 Power supply: EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB and the biggest shocker, it suggested windows 10 over windows 11, this is literally microsofts AI and it said windows 10 over 11 LMAOOOOOO total cost btw is 1309.93 usd
Here after Jay’s pov, I’m pretty sure if there were other benchmarks involved that 7600X3D probably would’ve pulled punches. At the end of the day, as long as we can trash on AI I’m happy
the issue with ai is it will scrap the internet for articles then go from there, i put in build me a gaming pc build for under 1000 and it legitimately gave a parts list from a black friday 2023 article it found online, using an AM4 socket
no gaming tests is disappointing!! you're literally buying a mid-range GAMING PC & the 7600x3d is the 2nd best gaming cpu out right now. that's the whole reason people get it
Someday micro center will open a store in Tulsa. It's actually funny. From my house the store in Dallas and the store in Overland Park Kansas are exactly the same distance from me. But one of them takes an extra 15 minutes or so to drive to. But distance wise they are literally the same which is funny.
Isn’t the store in Dallas way smaller like I felt cramped being there and I built my whole system 😭, ohhh but I am surprised they didn’t use the bundle deal they had with that cpu literally it was almost the same price like I paid 540 for my pc with the same cpu.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 I have actually been to both the dallas and the KC store and I think that the KC store is smaller. But the STL store is one of the best. It's huge. Great location.
Austin's system reminds me a bit of a newer version of my own. I got a white North with a 5700x 3D and a 6900XT. Actually just bought the 5700x 3D yesterday at a microcenter lol.
This had to be recorded like a month and some weeks before publishing because This store was a mad house when I went on an "early" opening. So glad this is in Florida 👐
Living in Winnipeg and being less than an 8 hour drive to Minneapolis, I am very tempted to make the drive for my next build. It's insane the price differences even after the exchange rates, Micro Center has the better buying power vs. whatever we have going on up here lmao
This is without a doubt the biggest win for in store PC purchasing... how ever i wish they weren't "just" in select locations... as a EU citizen i would have loved to shop here however the flight price is insane compared to buying locally.
Big difference in scores between Austin and me. My total score is 25,116. My CPU score(5800X3D) is 11,646, and my GPU score(7900XTX) is 31,558. That's with just changing the PBO to -25. Had it at -30 as most posts I found suggested, but got some hangups off and on. Lowered it to -25, nothing since. My RAM is 32 GB of G.Skill (Neo? Don't remember) running at 3600 MHz. Just find it interesting that with 1 tier lower card, and an older CPU but with 2 more cores, were at least 2.5 times higher.
The big story is really AI. It can build a PC for you without any major issues. If your did more prompts to build it then it likely does better than a single build.
@@UA_Shark but as RUclips fans we come here for content and to learn things. At least that what Austin used to do. How many times can you recycle the same kind of content?
Guys if you are considering building a p.c. And you want to get the best price/performance please don’t take advice from jay and Austin, price/performance is not their strong suits. I would highly suggest channels like “pc builder” and “Shadowgamingpc”. Your money will go a lot further following their builds suggestions.

Sorry but for RUclipsrs and the guys who spend all of their money on PC parts, $600 is a low budget build these days. I'm not one of them, so much more in favour of your range caps.
I legit did this already and asked chat gpt what the best build i could do for $800 was lol it picked a cpu that wasnt compatible with the motherboard though 😂
So great to see Jay bringing his 6 year old son to Micro Center to create a father-son set up. The shots of Austin standing 6 feet in front of Jay aren't fooling anyone. Great video, guys.
Lol, I was just about to mention something similar. Jay looks like a disappointed dad.
I'm just thrilled Austin got rid of his speech impediment, his content was always good, just couldn't stand to listen to him... good work man..
😂😂
Austin, I won your build. I forgot to have you sign it. Thank you and MC for the upgrade. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Nice! Did you upgrade it?
@@xpodxi think they ment that the pc was an upgrade from their last pc
@davidalbee1733 I know, I was wondering if he put more money into it making it faster. Maybe more storage, cable extensions etc
@@xpodx Keeping it the way it is. I have other Pc's that I have built

I have been waiting for years, finally a Micro Center in my area.
Watching both videos back to back. 😂😂
Why is Micro Center selling the Intel 12600KF for $299 and Amazon is selling it for $139
Same, why?
its 129.99 at micro center right now. Maybe a price drop since this was recorded?
Microcenter needs to open a store in Washington State. No reason not to.
As a European, I can never understand when these videos are made and they say "I've got $1500 to spend so I went to $1497"..... Do they forget about sales tax??
Im glad my friend has a microcenter close to him
How in the name of god did that AI pc get a marginally better score than my i5 7500/2060 living room pc??? D:
They needed to test them with games..racing ones!! 😂
They did a good job remodeling the old tigerdirect
I would go to micro center if they would just open in Tennessee
