Gaming Computer Build 2009

[LaxBros4Life]

Windows Veesta

Haha, I always thought it was pronounced Vista but potato potato.

Have you since upgraded it to Windows 7?

[TheGenesisfreak]

[abdin36]

How much was it?

[magic1swizerland]

Dear Santa ......

[MADdrummer971]

@magic1swizerland Noo you don't want this out of date crap that's in this video.

[Lifeofa1]

i have the same laptop! very reliable. and fantastic videos. you really put alot of effort into them.

[AWSOMECOOLDUDE99]

i am in the process of building a gaming computer and want to know if this could run crysis 1 on highest settings: Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDE00ZFBGRBOX Video Card: EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1563-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000)

[PhobosCVIII]

@AWSOMECOOLDUDE99 I think it will.

[DaGleese]

@xXScarecrow187Xx you just assumed that because he said "i got-eh-er" instead of "i've got a" didnt you!

[hotfire71]

How much did it all cost?

[Pollack007]

love newegg

[purx3ranger]

How much did this all cost

[DaytonaEggnog]

[Noel127]

LMAO HE ACTUALLY BOUGHT WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vidmanproductions]

@Noel127 And it was vista to LOL!

[flypro360]

NICCCCCCCCCEEEEEEE

[Ironwind1972]

@xXScarecrow187Xx I'm not, I'm actually in the midwest in the states.

[GhostLaughingMan]

A day after he built it he found out that it was obsolete lol

[rob06parish]

that wasnt my question my question was is triple ddr3 better or is dual channel ddr3 better

[rob06parish]

is dual channel ddr3 or triple channel ddr3 memory good for gaming as im currently in the process of building a gaming rig

[Ironwind1972]

@rob06parish Honestly you're not going to see a huge difference between ddr2 and ddr3, unless you get into the higher Mhz 1600+. However, DDR3 ram is cheaper than DDR2, and they are phasing out DDR2. Taking those two things into account, I'd recommend DDR3. You're going to see the higher gains in FPS/graphics via your processor and Graphics card. So those two things are where you want to spend the most money.

[Conlan0215]

@rob06parish TRIPPLE CHANNEL DDR3!? WHY HAVENT I HEARD OF THIS!?

[tibiqe]

WD HDD --->FAIL

[Ironwind1972]

@tibiqe It's two years old....

[tibiqe]

@Ironwind1972 well your answer OK! :D but still WD =) I preferr maxtors. btw your VC owns

[MrBf3fanboy]

@Ironwind1972 About how much would you say these builds cost?

[MatthewHKnight]

Well hopefully your not playing World of Warcraft on that other wise waste of a computer World of Warcraft can almost run off a TRS-80 jokingly speaking of course... I have no clue why everyone buys Intel Processors for the price of one High-end Intel Processor you could buy almost 2 new AMD Processors.

[EuropeanLegend]

@tibiqe noob.

[zulok1337]

@tibiqe what's wrong with it?

[Ironwind1972]

@miracleguy123 Honestly, I sold it about a year and a half ago. But the good news is, I built one that runs better very similar to it. Same processor, similar mobo, half the ram, different graphics card, etc. The 920 is still the best bang per buck (overclocked), if you ask me.

[sqeker09]

good website to buy cheap ram?

[Ironwind1972]

@sqeker09 I like newegg.com

[Vagon8]

so... can it run 'Notepad' ?

[Ironwind1972]

@Vagon8 Son, this thing will find the square root of notepad.

[GTR717]

i wish i could build my pc again : [

[AeroFix94]

you still have this PC?

[IceCoolG4mes]

my gaming pc for £200

intel dual core pentium 4 @ 3..3ghz

Nvidia GeForce 9400Gt 1gb

kingston 2gb Ram *2 of em*

160gb hard drive

15x rewritable cd/dvd drive.

for me this is epic for only £200 <3<3<3 but urs is a MONSTER!

[PavleP1]

how much did the hole computer cost?

Great video

[PokePackOpener14]

12 gb ram is just overkill, believe me.

[skatepyro]

The audio system kicks ass! You got the set-up on your hands! The only thing I might not agree with is the heatsink and graphics card. But other than that your system will haul some serious ass!

[Ironwind1972]

@skatepyro Yeah, its a great sound system, overkill for what I used it for. You also have to realize, I built this computer 2 years ago, and have since built a different computer. It was good in the day, but anything over a year old starts to become outdated in the hardware world.

[Lethalis1234]

12mb ram? hehe

[omfgg3tlost]

using those speakers and they haul awesome clarity and fantasic design

[andrewisflyyy]

DUDE it so wierd i just god that same diskdrive

[Antimanele104]

why almost every dude that I watch on this building PC's video-guides is barefooted?

does that have something to do with the statical charge of the human body or something like that?

[Ironwind1972]

@Antimanele104 lol now that's funny. There are a couple of videos I had to re-shoot due to seeing "ones" under garments ;). Feel blessed thats all you get to see lol.

[pownd01]

@Antimanele104 Lol i dont think so haha

[TommyReedVlog]

"viiiiista" I love you dude, no homo :P

[Ironwind1972]

@TommyReedVlog A mistake I'll never live down :).

[iRandomistic]

/watch?v=1L_M7uvn69A

[Timbojones0123]

Hahahah He has big hands. The bigger the hands the more rubbing.

[bluelava12]

people always use nvidia when ati is so much better and far better value.

[RomeowIsFluffy]

I just built a gaming pc with 12Gb of Ram, 1TB hard drive, Intel core i7 950 processor, overclockable to 6Ghz, liquid cooling system, black an clear case with red neons

[Ironwind1972]

@RomeowIsFluffy Videos of you running prime95 for longer than an hour or it didnt happen.

[gitaarspeel]

@RomeowIsFluffy

12gb of ram, okay, overkill, won't need that, ever, that's a waste of money.

i7 950 overclockable to 6ghz, perhaps, but for half a second, then it explodes.

[sveine86]

@RomeowIsFluffy

almost the same as the one i built for a week ago.. but i have 6 gb ram..

ordered yesterday a new 6 gb ram and a new gtx 460 1gb so i have SLI.

[gh5432]

NO VISTA IS EVIL

[xXxstewiedudexXx]

@gh5432 i like vist it gets annoying how differnt its is from 7 but i like the way it is et up

[packetcreeper]

dude, it's late 2011 and what you have is STILL an awesome system. very nice choices on parts. i would recommend ditching the logitech mouse and going with a razer deathadder - you won't regret it. hope you're enjoying that kickass system!

[VaultedAxe]

@packetcreeper Its late 2011? ARE YOU FROM THE FUTURE?!?!

[packetcreeper]

dude, it's late 2011 and what you have is STILL an awesome system. very nice choices on parts. i would recommend ditching the logitech mouse and going with a razer deathadder - you won't regret it. hope you're enjoying that kickass system!

[3sharky0623584]

@packetcreeper its 2010 not 2011

[thePCgamingZone]

@microsftpsp omg clearly he knos wat hes doing it was clearly just a mistake lol like u've never done something like tht he knos wat hes talkin about jesus loosen up a bit

[ReviiveHD]

Price for all this??

[JoshtheFreerunner]

how much did y ou spend on all of this?

[96stewie96]

you would have more smiles if your hard drive was 1TB :p anyways good video

[JoeyStormz]

besides putting it together what would you say the most important part of making a pc? installing os and other drivers or setting up the hdd's? i dont know how to do any of it lol. nice build man

[themidnightdaylight]

I love to just build PCs like this all day =D even for other people. Nice set up man :)

[Ironwind1972]

@themidnightdaylight I agree, I love building, benchmarking, gaming, all of it.

[thePCgamingZone]

@themidnightdaylight ye lol same here i've done it for my friend but he paid for the hardware of course i just helped him buy it and build it

[Ironwind1972]

@microsftpsp It was a simple mistake man. God forbid you ever make one.

[Robzzombay]

everything to game except the mouse

[funnyfootballs]

Asus P7P55D Pro Intel p55 motherboard. Intel core I5 760 2.80 ghz. Kingston Value Ram DDR3 4GB PC-1333 kit cl9. Samsung spinpoint f3 1000gb. Ati radeon 5870 1gb. Zalman CNPss9900A led cooler. Nzxt Lexa blackline case. Corsair TX series 750W PSU. OS windows 7 64bit. does this match? And do you guys know a better cooler? 56,44 USD max :)

[donttryit1]

I have the same setup with 9gb of ddr3 ram.

But... I have a ATI radeon 5970.

[mcpro97]

Nice Setup

[points2shopPROOF]

rich?

[Ironwind1972]

@points2shopPROOF Wouldn't have sold it if I was rich....;)

[Acceptable76]

@Ironwind1972 Yeah.. seriously.. for 2009 that computer still out-powers everything here in 2010.

[TheHippy999]

@Ironwind1972 Hey man I have this computer that was a bit screwed up but anyways do you think I could upgrade an old computer to a higher quality.

[Ironwind1972]

@TheHippy999 Depends on what it has in it now, sometimes its just better to start off fresh.

[TheHippy999]

@Ironwind1972 Oh ok thanks

[LuXuS144]

Hi Guys My Rig that i will buy: ASUS M4A89GTD Pro, Sockel AM3, ATX AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU Revoltec PipeTower PRO CPU COOLER Sapphire HD 5850 1 GB GPU 4GB G-Skill Ripjaws PC3-12800U CL7 NZXT Lexa S Case XFX 650 Watt PSU Windows 7 64 Bit Is this a good gaming rig?

[MegaGamerRO]

MONEY ?

[mrdiamondback1]

Sorry for double comment but it was 615 usd in the end sorry can't remove the first comment with my iPhone ...

[mrdiamondback1]

Power: FSP 500W 80Plus - 85% effektivitet Processor: Intel Dual-core E6800 3,4GHz Grafikkort: nVidia GeForce GTS450 1024MB OC Moderkort: Asus P5G41T-M LX / ASRock G41C-S RAM-minne: OCZ Gold 2GB DDR3 PC12800 1600MHz Hårddisk: Western digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB DVD-brännare: Samsung-WriteMaster Nätverkskort: 10/100/Mbit (integrerat) Ljudkort: HD Surround (integrerat) Garanti / Support: 24 months warrenty and just wondering if this is a good pc for 60

[Ironwind1972]

@mrdiamondback1 It sounds like a decent entry level gaming rig. Your weak point will be only having two cores on you processor, and the 450. It hasgood quality ram, just needs more of it, at least 4 gig. Vista and Windows 7 almost use one gig just for the OP resources. I'd also consider going with a second 450 in sli if you have the power supply to handle it.

[mrdiamondback1]

@Ironwind1972 I will buy a cooler and I download windows 7. Will the power supply handle it ?? if a buy a cooler just one who takes in, or out what do u think out or in?

[Ironwind1972]

@mrdiamondback1 You power supply will be fine for one graphics card,. You won't need an after market cooler unless you plan on overclocking.

[mrdiamondback1]

@Ironwind1972 I will buy a cooler because it looks nice hehe

[Acceptable76]

@Ironwind1972 The NVIDIA GTS 450 is about equivalent to the GTX 260. No way in hell it's an entry level gaming card. An entry gaming card would be a GT 220

[Ironwind1972]

@Acceptable76 I mentioned the computer was entry level, and the 450 was a weaker point for a good gaming rig. A OC'ed 460 struggles to run games on max, let alone a standard 450.

[bbttnetworkz]

12 gigs of ram :o

[Ironwind1972]

@bbttnetworkz Always nice to have 12,433,953 people correct me on my mistakes, thanks!

[bbttnetworkz]

@Ironwind1972

Well actually i dont know what is wrong, i was just wondering how much 12 gigs of ram is

[Filzstiefel]

ok =)

and how much you paid for these stuff?

;)

[pspslimhacks]

dude how come u dont just download and save windows 7 on a cd?

[RebornLegacy]

the keyboard is ugly

[Ironwind1972]

@RebornLegacy Fight the power.

[ananui]

I LOVE THE G11 KEYBOARD .. i hope you do too

[Ironwind1972]

@ananui Peace and love.

[ThePyroProduction]

is it much cheaper to build than to buy?

[Ironwind1972]

@ThePyroProduction Not always, sometimes you can find great deals on closeout computers already built. I'd prefer to build and spend several days shopping around for the best prices.

[GaMiNgHeReTic]

do you build a new everyear dude?

[Ironwind1972]

@GaMiNgHeReTic I dont. It's purely a hobby of mine. Matter of fact my brother bought an older build I did 5 or 6 years ago, and it went out on him. I rebuilt it this weekend with the older parts and overclocked it. It runs pretty well actually. It's only a 3800 939 socket but I have it stable at 2.6 ghz. I'm running two BFG 7900 GTX's. I get about 70 average fps on titan quest with everything on the highest settings.

[2222vaginaman]

Is new egg better or worse than tiger direct both seem fairly cheap just wanted to know which sports better customer service or prices.

[Ironwind1972]

@2222vaginaman I like it better personally. Their website is more user friendly with info and ratings. Also from my own experience, they have better prices.

[mississippi789]

DUDE HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS LIKE THE COOLEST COMPUTER EVER please tell me how much all that was like 4k??????

[jordy885]

u got enough space on ur desk for a 27" HD monitor why not you got the best everything else :P

[Ironwind1972]

@jordy885 On a budget my friend.

[Anton338]

sweet!

[tdsviper]

The Antec 1200 is a generic case, but it's good for people that are starting with modding. Because there are sow much buildlogs out there to take some lessons from.

It's easy if u look at them all.

[Kevinmaxtor]

Nice system but dont you think a 640gb hd is a little low?

[ht448]

lol, man i wish i could build my own pc :( im relly relly trying to buy a pritty good gameng pc that isnt to expensive iv been overrerd a dell optiplex 755 but i dont relly know if it is good or not could you help me?

[hahavonfluer2]

EVGA is such a freakin awesome brand.

[BananaBean03]

i have that mouse! it sucks its too small and theres a thumb and pinky drag all the time. i wana get the mad catz rat 7

[S4LAm4ndr]

Ah theres your first problem mate. You bought vista!

[mrxified]

GREAT CHOICES , But i'd get a gaming mouse : )

[Acceptable76]

VEEEEESTA. :P Everyone pronounces it Veesta.. lol

[naka538]

@Acceptable76 no.... its Vista (the i like igloo)

[Acceptable76]

@naka538 No kidding. It's VISTA. Not VEESTA. I forgot to add that to the end of my comment -.-

[ImperviousMason]

how much did this all cost sir? I would love to build myself a computer after i get this job.

[AdamWestable]

is new egg a reliable and safe site to buy pc parts form cuz im looking to buy 2 grand worth of parts?

[Ironwind1972]

@AdamWestable Absolutely, I've spent thousands there over the years. If you take your time and do the math, you can save money with their combo's. Happy building.

[ZachTheRipper73]

@Ironwind1972 Ive bought all my parts from tiger direct i like it a little more then newegg give it a shot

[MotoCrossBoy104]

@AdamWestable i got all my parts there



[thriLLx47]

Very nice setup dude good work.

[MechaNintendoMast]

That's a really really good build. Really nice choices.

It's too bad you put vista on that thing.

Also, no terabytes?

Bluray?

[FatKidsCanFly2]

hey man nice vid im just wandering how mutch was all this total i might wanna do what ur doing and just build a computer then buying one arent they more exspensive to go in and buy one ?

[Ironwind1972]

@FatKidsCanFly2 Alot of people ask me how much it cost to build this. For the hardware, mouse, monitor etc, it was right around 2500 dollars a year and a half ago. Hope this helps all.

[skimowhite586]

dude i worship your sistem but why did you go head and buy antec 1200, should of gone with with haf 932 plus it gives you option for 3by 120mm radiator

[inagod]

nothing beter than a pc system you build yourself,if you like gaming,it is the best,I'm building a I7 system,very fast,reliable.

[Airbusa319thehornet]

dayumm thats a pretty good build there ;)

upgrade to a Nvidia Fermi card that'll put the icing on the cake

[ultimateacdcfan]

damn, id like that hardware, especially the graphics card :P

[nwmafia]

i wish i had the brains to build a BEAST like this !!!!

[JANNOSPR]

Why do you want 12GB of ram?

[Brue2]

umm 12 MEGS!!! of ram???????

[forzamicha46]

good ! :)

[nightdevil22666]

That`s a nice powerful rig!

[p8intballkid]

you have windows 7 now right?

[ufosorufhoax13]

Great setup.. The only thing that angers me about people puting these up, no offense to you, is when they put an intel processor inside instead of AMD. Its been proven that AMD at 4x is equal or better than intel's Core i7. Nice stuff, though.

[NOXXism]

5 stars for 12MB of RAM!

[urheadg0ne]

Very nice videos man. Good Job.

[lowcash000]

got too much money?or was it a big shoplift?^^

[K3VY8295]

waw! 12megs of ram! can't get any better! =P

[shipleyshipster]

Dude, I love how you went all out. Even to the point of speakers and a new computer chair. I just love hwo you bought everything you would ever need all at the exact same time on the exact same order lol. That must have been like over $2500

[sargemil]

Nice build...over kill on the PSU but I guess its better to have more than you need than to not have enough.

[vorrap]

i think for going for this need some tip 1ST bulid with new part Cooler Master - Elite 310 Case w/ Window Intel - Core™2 Quad Processor Q8200 2.33GHz w/ 4MB Cache  Asus - P5G41-M LE w/ DualDDR2 800, Video, Audio, Gigabit Lan, PCI-E x16 Mushkin - EM2-6400 Enhanced DDR2 SDRAM, 4GB Dual Pack Seagate - 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA II w/ 32MB Cache LG - Super-Multi 22x DVD Writer, SATA, Black ANTEC - EarthWatts 430W Power Supply

[xxkevinxx900]

you have 12mb of ram O_O thats like windows 9X or even 311. wow

[dylan122223]

the cooler thing is awsum... seen a video on em

[vewdew3]

gave it 5 stars for 12 megs of RAM ...lol at least you caught it.... nice rig man

[neonzion7]

windows veesta sucks get windows seeven

[warriorkitty24]

U dnt need 12gb ram,.,.WTF 8 at the most. That will ruin the duel channeling and make it worse. I would go with a 1000gb hard drive. Nice gfx card and nice processor.

[dragata1]

way to go im getting a v8 coolmaster for my pc

[itzdataznboi]

Two Thumbs Up Man! d(^_^)b how much was that all together

[bmxhector]

how much did this all cost u

[KidsAreBad]

probably around 2000- 2500

[bmxhector]

my build was 1500,i wish i had 2000-2500 to spend on it

[kijong2]

@bmxhector nahh its good if you spend to much, all that money go to waste because pc parts getting cheaper by the month! :S

[TheBoberton]

@bmxhector I wish I had money to get a new computer period.

[Bullonieful]

@bmxhector Mine was $600.

[Ironwind1972]

@bmxhector Ya know, that extra 500 or so doesnt really go far these days. You can build a great computer for 1200 or so these days.

[using192]

@bmxhector i had 500
