Gaming Setup (1/2) - New Pc Rig - Maxed Out Gaming and Recording Demonstration - Gaming Laptop

[RapturousDemise]

WTF NO DEATHCORE lame lol I hate deathcore, nice rig though

[christopher24745]

the fan on the back is 12cm not 14 i have it

[brandon1633]

dude ati is amd

[DiViNiTY1337]

13:50 "Still looking very smooth though..."

Of course it looks smooth, it doesn't even begin to look choppy before it drops below 20.

If you don't believe me, go turn on your TV. If you look at a regular daily show, it runs at 25 FPS.

[545manutd]

hey guys any help please because my BFBC 2 is not working well and the reason is because the guy im controling wont look down he only looks up :( any suggestions????????

[xIIRevoEvo]

Hey jamie, is there a link for the HD PVR of the seller or company that sells the PVR on ebay?

[JamieEHILLS]

@xIIRevoEvo Just order it from pccasegear website for $269AU if you live in AUS

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS Should have got a HAF 912. Same price or actually cheaper and has amazing cable management!

[JamieEHILLS]

@Ryd3r22 ive been hardcore gaming on this pc since may lastt year, trust me its fine.

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS You should record at 30 FPS. You will get better in game FPS and smaller file sizes. Try Dxtory also.

[JamieEHILLS]

@Ryd3r22 lol u dont make vids do u? recording at 30fps completely ruins any chances of doing slow motion. my pc handles 60fps recording fine, and yes i know what dxtory is. you got to stop commenting like u know it all man, everyone has diff opinions and does things differently

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS im not commenting like I know it all. All those comments where just to help.

[xBENZBOYx]

how much did your gaming pc cost?

[JamieEHILLS]

@xBENZBOYx Around the $900 mark without the monitor

[LiMiiTz123]

@JamieEHILLS i got macbook pro 2.8ghz 13x and alienware 18x and a normal computer and hd per and 4 ps3s 2 tv and 1 xbox. btw nice video

[TarikProductions]

You look a little like Amir from CollegeHumor

[N4BZi]

what your BenQ M2700hd like, i'm thinking of buying one

[jonesboyy93]

are u running1 or 2 graphics cards? and can your PC handle BF3? im thinking of building this setup

[JamieEHILLS]

@jonesboyy93 running 1 card, yes plays bf3 ultra

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS RAM you wont see much improvement in games but rendering and editing you would with 1600. Not a ton though. Also a extra 4GB RAM would help with rendering!

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS V-Sync actually caps your FPS at your repfresh rate which in your case is 60. If you had it set to 75hz(if your monitor supports it) you would be capped at 75. Anything over 60 you wont notice much difference at all. Unless your playing a game that uses the quake engine like quake or COD4(other cods too but they suck lol) Those games 125 or 250 FPS makes a big difference due to the game engine!

[purx3ranger]

Hey, I need help setting up a pc. I got ALL of the stuff i want to buy.

I just want to know if anyone can tell me if all these things well work nicely.

Any help well do. Thanks.

[easterlingderek34]

ATi and AMD are buddies cause AMD makes ATI.

[kane123369]

Dude were can i buy that laptop?

[JamieEHILLS]

@kane123369 Dick smith !

[Ryd3r22]

@JamieEHILLS The reason you get lagg while recording was due to windows running the game and writing the footage on the same HD. Though RAID helps a dedicated HD for recording is awesome too!

[OfficialFuntcase]

A Question, can you PLEASE make a Tutorial on how to set up your HD PVR with Turtle Beach, WHILE playing in HD.. I will give you gobbies.

[JamieEHILLS]

@OfficialFuntcase theres already a vid for that on my channel

[kihffd]

you look like the lead singer from plain white T's

[kfydl]

Awesome setup, I'm saving up to build one myself, hope to buy it soon! D:

[lichXXking]

moar metal juice

[BlackMamba246]

Getting your gaming rig. GTX 560 Ti scores really good overall and in combination with a 2500k ist perfect. Ima leave it at 3.3 ghz till i get a better cpu cooler then ima OC it to 4.6 I think. Maybe get a SSD in it

[VoiD1x]

@BlackMamba246 lol oc to atleast 3.9 on stock bro.. if not get a $30 coolermaster 213+ ? cooler . will do you fine.

[Shankybogus]

I have the same graphics card and it gts like 45 fps :( wtf

[T0xinCF]

@Shankybogus Update your drivers ? Or maybe you are bottlenecked by your CPU.

[KillaDoor89]

Awesome!

[thegolfman52]

and will i need steam if i buy a retail version to play online please help

[Daniel1993UK]

@thegolfman52 no you dont need steam. It only requires steam if you buy it from steam.

[thegolfman52]

is fraps free?

[TheFargoh]

More fans != Lower temperatures

If you have your fans so that they keep cool air coming in and hot air going out, your case will be cool, you can do that with 2 fans. Usually your case comes with the best setup, I keep my fans at a stock 3. In the front, out the back and top. My temps (2500k) are 30c Idle and 55C Load, and GPU is 55/75 (6950).

[someguywitatie]

Yeah I have the same laptop, its not bad, the main problem I have with it is it can get pretty hot and a cooler is pretty much a necessity if I want to do any gaming

[jh3496]

If you wanted to save some money you should have gotten a stock gtx 560ti with an aftermarket cooler, then OC yourself. I've oc'd my asus vx7 gtx 460 to 842mhz core clock (from 675), and I can play bfbc2 on high with a decent 40-50 fps without recording though :(

[littlebuch]

get a new cooler like cooler master have like v8s and v10 which are fuckin awesome... if i sell my 8k $ laptop i will get a water colled double GTX 590s and an i7 (im thinking of a 4 core cuz i cant find a good 6 core in the web sites but if i go to some store i may find it...) and the problem is that im either thinking of water cooled or with a v10 or a v8... and i do think of overclocking... xD

[ReconWave]

Can you tell me the specifications of your laptop please?

[BFpr3dator17]

Yo Jamie? Bout time for episode 2. :D

[infidel94]

A question. does increasing FOV decrease fps?

[JamieEHILLS]

@infidel94 Nah dude not in my experience. My frames are locked at 60fps whilst recording

[Grippen98]

@JamieEHILLS You should know that youtube accepts up to 30 fps no matter of the video.

[JamieEHILLS]

@Grippen98 i already know this, thats why i render my videos at 30fps

[Grippen98]

@JamieEHILLS OOops, sorry man.

[petersupermann]

@JamieEHILLS gpu, pls help me :)

with bf3 comming up i have to upgrade my gpu,... again :P

but do you think the 560ti will run bf3 all maxed out at a good framerate?

if you said it please dont be mean to me because english is not my first language and i could understand it :(

[Lyndon223]

my pc laffs at this

[JamieEHILLS]

@Lyndon223 lol, your cool as man, too bad you upload CoD gameplay, gtfo.

[360MoDsX]

@JamieEHILLS Hi mate, thinking of getting 2 sata 3 7200RPM HDD's, how's that going for you? What's the performance like?

[VoiD1x]

@Lyndon223 too bad you can't say laugh...

[APOSTLE1215]

how do you record live commentary with the px21's. I can hear my teamates on video, but not myself.

[fighterseal4]

doood r u ever gonna do part 2?

[SPAZZY1912]

does yur motherboard support nvidia sli? and how many graphics cards can it hold?

[JamieEHILLS]

@SPAZZY1912 1 graphics card

[SPAZZY1912]

@JamieEHILLS

oh okay, thanks

[deafloxD]

your hair is amazing : D

[JamieEHILLS]

@deafloxD haha thanks man

[TheDudeMusic]

I have the same case

[SniperToke]

i got the monitor m2700hd and connected my ps3

to it but i get slow response time lag ,

is there anyway to fix this in any settings, how did u do it?

or did u have the same problem

[JamieEHILLS]

@SniperToke I have never had that problem before

[sircgraff]

2 tb hardrives O_O dats alot of porn >_< :x

[JamieEHILLS]

@sircgraff 1 minute of fraps recording = 4gb haha, so its alot of recording. Who downloads porn these days anyway? all about the streaming ! haha

[sircgraff]

@JamieEHILLS lmao >_< ohh after i eddit my pvr vids i delete em :)

[sircgraff]

@JamieEHILLS how long is to render a 2 min video on your comp?

[xroads315]

@JamieEHILLS try using playclaw i recorded 1hr of gaming and only got 2.5gb out of it. plus its awesome for gaming aplications like xfire and shit like that

[TheFargoh]

@JamieEHILLS Half-size; 30fps ;)

[jaychou12]

So when's part 2 coming out?

[JamieEHILLS]

@jaychou12 when i hit 6K subs :)

[jaychou12]

@JamieEHILLS Awesome stuff! Keep it up, won't be long :D

AnsoNoob out~

[elmothakilla1]

nice opening but try getting a better camera

[JamieEHILLS]

@elmothakilla1 Nahhh i never use cameras. Wasnt going to purchase one just for either, so the iphone camera is going to have to do

[gabrocki]

@JamieEHILLS oh wow gonna get a similar rig, with ASRock H67DE3 and i5 2500

[FrustRagetion]

when's part 2 ?

[TheUltrasexyboy]

dude play oasis with 32 players on server and then record bc2 with fraps !!!

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheUltrasexyboy ive already done that, check my previous vids

[TheUltrasexyboy]

@JamieEHILLS i dont see fps =(

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheUltrasexyboy because fps doesnt show on fraps recordings, its a solid 60fps when recording anyway

[TheUltrasexyboy]

@JamieEHILLS ok but you have settings in fraps when you record you still see fps i think :D

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheUltrasexyboy yeah i see it when i record, but it doesnt show in the recording. I dont want an annoying fps showing in the corner of my recordings anyway. ruins the quality. I can tell you now, its 57-60 fps

[TheUltrasexyboy]

@JamieEHILLS tnx dude i know what i will now buy for battlefiled 3 2x gtx 560ti in sli :D

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheUltrasexyboy wayyyy too overkill, get 1, then if you need to, get a second one. 1 single gtx560 ti, especially a twin frozrII OC edition like mine, will be enough

[Chrisguitar95]

Haha, I'm like you

I game and I work out :P

btw I'm building a new pc and I would like clarification on these parts maybe?

Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz)

1GB NVidia Geforce GTX560 Ti (same as yours)

Coolermaster HAF 912

I already have my cooling parts and hard drives.

Thanks

[GuitariFiiling]

hey is ur gtx560ti twin frozr at 900mhz? 950mhz or 1ghz ? and did it come like that in stock or did u do some extra overclocking thanks.

[JamieEHILLS]

@GuitariFiiling In this video its at stock 880mhz.i now have it overclocked at 1ghz, through msi afterburner. It overclocked very easily, no problems at all runs very cool

[becool365]

Dude, I suggest employing the fact that you got a 64bit OS running in near future. 4Gb is the limit with a 32bit, but for this setup its pulling the overall performance down try adding another 4Gb.

Also try and get a good Sound Blaster for sound. I cannot describe to you what a great bump it gives in gaming. I still game on my old rig because the sound is so smooth and increases the immersion.

[JRod2423]

hey Jamie i don't know if you already said this but how much money did it cost to build your pc?

[JamieEHILLS]

@JRod2423 it was $967 AU

[TheImSolid]

record at 90 fps its better :D and ts3 is better than skype

[skampiss]

Hi, Sorry if this question has been asked before, but could you give me your thoughts on your 27" Benq monitor?

Thinking of buying it since it has a reasonable price and has gotten ok reviews. How is it? I am mostly gonna use it for Gaming and just basic stuff like surfing the web, watch movies since the size will be ok to watch videos on.

Would you buy it again if it got broken and you had the cash? hehe

Hope you take the time to answer

[JamieEHILLS]

@skampiss i think its a great monitor, ive never had any problems with it at all. The reason i bought it was because it had component cable input, which i needed for when i used my hauppauge HD pvr.

The clarity is amazing, everything from games to movies look great, and the size is decent, especially if you are sitting at a desk, it seems huge.

If it broke today, id probably go for a 24" LED monitor instead

[skampiss]

@JamieEHILLS Thank you so much for your reply.

I have a Samsung 22" syncmaster now that I bought for like 3-4 yeras ago. I guess the Benq would be a decent upgrade.

Why would you go down in size and buy a 24" led? Just wondering? The thing I am thinking of is the black levels and the responce time. Is it satisfactory?

Thanks mate

[JamieEHILLS]

@Mezzaaaaa what you play in, is what you record in. I dont want to play at 30 fps

[gabrocki]

@JamieEHILLS i wish i could play at stable 30fps on max.... i get around 20-25 normally, 5-10 in smoke

[spazcrunch]

Hi again Jamie. I was wondering if the current specs of your pc will be able to run BF3 on max setting? Because Im planning on getting a gaming pc, but cant afford the GTX 590...do you think your gtx 560 is good enough for BF3 or maybe go for a gtx 570? And RAM etc? Thanks (basically, will you be upgrading any of your components for BF3?)

[JamieEHILLS]

@spazcrunch i have no doubt whatsoever, that my current pc setup will run bf3 maxed out. Im running bfbc2 now maxed out WHILE recording 60fps 1080p at the same time no problem at all. In this video my cpu and gpu hadnt even been overclocked at all.

[ThaSoepjas]

6970 x2, crossfire most of the time works better than sli and 6970 are overall better than 560's

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

If I can get a damn job, I'm rebuilding my PC. I can't decide between 6970x2 or 560x2..... Anybody got any suggestions?

[FifteeeCal]

@FlUdDeStRoYeR94 6970 is equivalent to a 570, so faster than a 560, and they scale really well in Crossfire. Though either of those set ups are probably overkill for most modern games at 1080p!

[DARTHSIDIEOUS]

would you say more and better ram is more important than an amazing graphics card

[JamieEHILLS]

@DARTHSIDIEOUS amazing graphics card is more important

[DARTHSIDIEOUS]

hi ,,yeh dude liking this stuff very helpful keep the content rolling always looking out for your vids, ya are one of the better youtubers out there someone who shows some other games rather than call of duty dam that game saturates youtube ,but thats not to say i dont like or play it lol ok thanks GAMERTAG BOMMER78

[Blastbeats123]

What resolution are you running at when you're recording fraps?

[JamieEHILLS]

@Blastbeats123 1920x1080 60hz

[fwesh1]

Isnt RAID O dangerous?

[SprintingJesus]

@jamieehills

the reason people recommend 1600mhz RAM is cos it provides you with more headroom to overclock your CPU

[JamieEHILLS]

@SprintingJesus At the moment ive got my cpu at 4.4ghz, dont think my cooler with like me pushing it higher. Havent had any problems with the ram at this speed, so its been all good :)

[SprintingJesus]

@JamieEHILLS yummy!!

i added you on bfbc2, so mayb we can have a game or two? ;)

[KiNGKiKO405]

ASrock isn't made by Asus, well I don't think it is.

[JamieEHILLS]

@KiNGKiKO405 Remember google is your friend ;) Asrock is made by AsusTek, who make Asus

[mattjus10]

I'm going to buy a computer like your, but it will have corsair vengeance 2000mhz and evga gtx 570.. :D

[fwesh1]

@mattjus10 price diff with the 560 and 570 is not worth it. He was very smart in getting the 560

[mattjus10]

@fwesh1 so you advise me the gtx 560?

[fwesh1]

@mattjus10 yes and i advise the regular 560 as opposed to the ti version as it is at least $50 cheaper and the gains are insignificant from the reg 560 (you can get an enhanced version of the 560). Here is a benchmark, passmark benchmark. The 570 is powerful, but that bit extra power than the 560 will most likely be unseen unless your doing dome major overclocking and for the over $100 price diff from the 560, I would say go for the 560.

[mattjus10]

@fwesh1 Thanks for the advice!

[TheUltrasexyboy]

i dont get it i have amd phenom quad core 3.4ghz and ati xfx 5850 1gb 775mhz stock and when i record with fraps bad company 2 i have 35-40 fps mabye less how do you have 55-60 dude? i have fraps settings like you and i have AA And HBAO off ...

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheUltrasexyboy Hey man, im not sure what it is you dont get.. the i5 2500k and the gtx 560 ti Twin Frozr II are more powerful than the phenom II x4 3.4ghz and the ati 5850, thats why im getting better performance here

[vmn1451]

but amd is better for gaming 

[JamieEHILLS]

@vmn1451 Provide benchmark or statistical evidence to back up your statement dude. Because everything I've read and seen proves otherwise. The i5 2500k will outperform any current amd x4 or x6

[Paradox949]

Dayum that's a few fingerprints you got on the corner of the laptop screen :D

[Blastbeats123]

What song is that in the beginning? :o

[lewis12360]

Im getting a gaming pc and ill be sitting fairly close to it. Do you think it would be better using my 19inch monitor or 32inch tv? (monitor can only do 144x900)

[pumpkinsoul12]

@lewis12360 im pretty sure your monitor can do better resolution, its probably set on 1440x900 max on the drivers, also monitor is much better for FPS gaming.

[JamieEHILLS]

@lewis12360 hmmm, id probably use the monitor if i was you, would have more clarity and a lower response time than a tv screen. Its really subjective though, both would look good

[loloolololololol]

mate that system is just crying to be overclocked, the hell are you doing

[JamieEHILLS]

@loloolololololol mate, ive got it overclocked now :P cpu at 4.4ghz, and gpu at 1ghz core clock

[loloolololololol]

@JamieEHILLS

oh naice

[JamieEHILLS]

@Mountaind3ws What cpu do you have? The new sandy bridge intel processors like the one i have run really cool

[AwayNowGo]

Nice abswing

[JamieEHILLS]

@AwayNowGo haha cheers man, gotta stay ripped!

[matthewrulzbra]

i don't understand the language of PC, but good work, i guess =P

[JamieEHILLS]

@matthewrulzbra hehe thanks :)

[Sector9NL]

@JamieEHILLS

imma get the same setup as urs

except i get the Asrock z68 pro3 mobo ;)

[JamieEHILLS]

@Sector9NL sweet man! whats the difference with that motherboard?

[Sector9NL]

@JamieEHILLS the Z68 has P67 features and H67 features so its like those 2 mobo's combined

with alot of features ;)

[cabteenigaming]

holy hell that pc is truly cheap. only 724.945401 Euros! And I wanted over a 1000€ PC! =D

[JamieEHILLS]

@cabteenigaming Very true man! the idea that gaming pc's are super expensive is old, these days the hardware has progressed faster than the software can keep up. I know for certain this pc will be lasting me quite a while.

[DasFunkwagen]

That's freakin' badass! I'm looking into some major upgrades myself, aspiring to make some Battlefield 3 commentaries when its out.

I presume you use FRAPS to record footage?

Also, what program do you use to record the commentary itself?

[JamieEHILLS]

@DasFunkwagen Sweet man :) yep i use Fraps to record footage. i use sony vegas pro 9c to record commentaries

[DasFunkwagen]

@JamieEHILLS nice. so you can actually record directly over your gameplay footage with sony vegas. cheers man. hopefully adobe premiere has a similar function.

[JamieEHILLS]

@DasFunkwagen yep thats correct. Adobe premiere can do it too

[johnrambo100ify]

LOL crysis on console is running on 15 fps i think,i hate it :(

[whiteout130]

How do you like the Case? Is it quiet when its only med/low speeds? Would  the Rosewill Challenger be a equal adversary?

[JamieEHILLS]

@whiteout130 The case is fine man, i havent tried the fans on low/med speed, on high, its a pretty noticable "hum". I play with a gaming headset though so i never really hear it. I have no idea what the rosewill challenger is sorry

[whiteout130]

@JamieEHILLS Ight, thanks man. I'm building my first PC so that's why I'm curious. I have a very quiet room down stairs so any fan noise will be more than audible.

[johnrambo100ify]

@JamieEHILLS Hey Jamie whats the difference between full HD tv and PC monitor?I am thinking to move over to PC but using hdtv since i can get bigger screen for less money.

[xDJaycee]

@johnrambo100ify you can also get a HD LED Monitor on pc if you'd like :P

[JamieEHILLS]

@johnrambo100ify I used to use a Hdtv and it lacked clarity and had an annoying motion blur due to the higher response time.I guess it comes down to personal preference and how much money you want to spend. Either way the games are going to look great

[legendary0o]

hey , i wanna ask you how much will it cost for a great PC gaming rig ?? , like how much did you pay for yours ??

[JamieEHILLS]

@legendary0o Hey man, you can get a decent PC to just play games for around $700 AU, if you want one powerful enough to completely max games out while recording at the same time like i do, your looking at around $950AU. Mine was $967

[legendary0o]

@JamieEHILLS Thx for the info , how much did the CPU and the GTX 560 Ti cost ?? -- sorry for asking to much , im just thinking about updating my PC and since im in Egypt PC stuff here are really expensive -- and again Thx :)

[JamieEHILLS]

@legendary0o CPU was $219, and the GPU was $269. A standard gtx 560 ti is about $20 cheaper, but i opted for the twin frozr II Oc edition, which runs ultra cool and is ready for some beast overclocking. At the moment ive got the core speed at 1ghz. Its beastin!

[JamieEHILLS]

@ps3noob501 not sure man

[kungfufreak360]

About your CM CPU fan you use for your Core i5 2500k, did you have to purchase thermal paste with that?

[JamieEHILLS]

@kungfufreak360 it came with thermal paste, i just used that. So was $33 for cpu with included paste. currently got my cpu at 4.4ghz completely stable.

[M3G4M3N1]

FAVORITE ;D

[JamieEHILLS]

@M3G4M3N1 :)

[GReaZaHD]

Please reply! Im new to your channel and its awsome! do you recommend this monitor. I will be playing my xbox through component sitting about half a meter away

Btw im an aussie and have a new gaming channel can you check it out

thanks ben

[JamieEHILLS]

@GReaZaHD yeah man this monitor is great, ive never had any problems with it

[oltiify]

woaaohh,sit down bitch...lmfao

let's get serious now.i am thinking of building a pc for bf3(plain bc2 on laptop now)can you make a video tutorial on how to build the same machine u have..how to conect everything,etc.thnx

[skyline826]

cm haf 922 is better than antec 300

[JamieEHILLS]

@skyline826 Its also twice the price (antec 300 = $59 Coolermaster HAF 922 = $128)

Im talking about sticking to a budget here and getting results

[TheBanned0ne]

haha the opening made me laugh man :)

Don't you hate FPS games on a laptop, or do you use a Mouse, cause I can't imagine someone playing a FPS game on a laptop using a touch screen

[JamieEHILLS]

@TheBanned0ne :) i pretty much never use my laptop for gaming, in this video i was just connecting my usb mouse into it for demonstration sake

[ImyurZero]

Question for you, the sound settings when recording with fraps? I notice the game sounds come out pretty high regardless of the level in game, whats the best way to level out the ingame sounds to the voice input with skype/vent/ts/ any other voip?

Thanks!

[JamieEHILLS]

@ImyurZero Bottom right hand corner of the screen, click the sound/speaker/volume control mixer, and lower the battlefield bad company 2 audio through windows

[ImyurZero]

@JamieEHILLS Thanks
