 So you're going to see that they're a full brand. Sorry if you're looking like crap. I'll get straight to the point. People keep pinging me on my Discord server over and over to watch and review this PC build video by a channel called The Verge. I kept getting notifications over and over and over to review this thing before it gets taken down. So I have the video up in front of me right now and I guess we're gonna go over it. I like the transition. You can build a gaming desktop for around a thousand dollars, but I want to go all out so I spent around two thousand. PC like this... Well, yeah, I mean you can build a gaming desktop for around a thousand dollars or three hundred fifty dollars or two hundred fifty dollars or two hundred dollars or a hundred seventy five dollars or a hundred fifty dollars or sometimes even a hundred dollars but yeah sure a thousand dollars. An Allen wrench, some tweezers to tighten up the wires. I have never used an Allen wrench to build a computer ever and I've built about 30 computers now. I would be very surprised to see where he uses this Allen wrench or for that matter even the thermal paste applicator. The zip ties I understand. I've never used any of the first two. Swiss Army Knife which hopefully has a Phillips head screwdriver in it. What? A Swiss Army Knife which hopefully has a flip side screwdriver in it. Why are you not checking your tools before you use them? And last but not least an anti-static bracelet which is to protect you and the parts. These are the parts you're gonna need. This is gonna be good. Holy s***. Why do you need a rubber bracelet to protect yourself? I understand protecting the parts but yourself? Unless there's power going through the parts you're working with you don't need to protect yourself from from what static electricity where you're gonna do the running man and the carpet really fast and you're gonna shock yourself. If you want to better understand what kind of computer to build then first figure out what you want to use it for. A gamer might care more about a graphics card than say a video editor who might want extra RAM to assist with editing large files. Whoa whoa whoa whoa hold the f***ing phone. Okay I'm a video editor first before a computer builder all right. Yeah we care about RAM like we definitely care about RAM we don't want a little of it we use more than most people but the CPU is looking a little small on that graph buddy like video editors there's a reason that we have and and really always go for the really nice processor first so you start to lose me a little bit more than you know before. Those Asus Z370 motherboard for two main reasons. One it has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and also it has support for NVMe SSDs meaning you can get really f***ing... What the f*** are you doing? He's putting in the motherboard before he's putting in the processor and the RAM. I mean yeah you can do that that's actually how I built my first computer but if you're making a tutorial on how to build a gaming PC I don't know if I want this to be your first build so uh some raising some red flags. Pay close attention to the brace that goes at the back of the computer you always have to make sure that you really hammer it in because there's no f***ing way he's calling the IO shield a brace there's no way he must be he's gotta be talking about something different he can't be talking about the IO shield. SSDs meaning you can get really fast SSDs that are really easy to install pay close attention to the brace that goes at the back of the computer you always have to make sure that you really hammer it in because there's the IO shield oh my this guy's an idiot I love this this is like I don't know it's like a reality tv show this is like a joke oh my god the slots first and just aligning the stick with the middle of the strip he has two sticks why is he opening up all four dim slots I don't even at this point I'm curious if he even knows that they're called dim slots okay so step four we're going to install the graphics card I chose PNY's GTX 1080 which is overclocked and so the hell if you got a $2,000 budget you you can't afford a better brand than PNY what the heck I mean not to knock PNY they're not you know bad by any means but no now which lane you choose depends entirely on what other parts you're going to put in the system I'm just going to pick the top one because no no no no no no no no no no no no what which lane you choose no there are different kinds of PCI express lanes there's like a there's a 16 and a and you know I'm not going to explain this perfectly but depending on the one that you pick there's like bandwidth limits like if you pick if you pick the eight over the 16 you are like putting a cap on what your graphics card can do so all you have to do is take the brick and make sure that you align it with these little insulating pads so the power supply isn't short-circuit and come into contact with the rest of the system whoa hold the phone you are actually an idiot oh my god so you can't short-circuit the system what do you even know what you said let's hold back up back up back up back up back up you align it with these little insulating pads so the power supply isn't short-circuit and come into contact with the rest of the system so that okay so hold on if the chassis of your power supply touches your case it's going to short-circuit the rest of your system what are you on dude what the like this is sponsored video this is presented by capital one this is the big okay this is a bigger scam than any of my other videos this is a scam this dude has no idea how to build a computer i don't i don't see fans for this radiator anywhere does he put the fans in this radio first before you install it because you can see it takes up a lot of space so next up cables he didn't install fans he didn't install fans in the radio this man is actually a legend i love this man oh my god more power supply is going to come with the big bag of velcro cables it's could you say every power supply is going to come with a big bag of cables so next up cables every power supply is going to come with the big bag of velcro cables no they don't they don't all come with a big bag of cables this is so sad okay i feel like i don't even have to like argue this to you if you watch my videos i feel like you have a basic understanding of building a computer but unless you have a modular power supply they don't come with a big bag of cables they will already be connected to your power supply whether you like it or not intel confidential oh that's fancy i wonder what it is we're just gonna take this little plastic part out we'll just toss that out of here and now we have an exposed cpu holder or rather slot on the motherboard just call it a socket it's a socket it's not a holder it's not it's a socket and we're gonna use the cpu applicator this is a special little part that not everyone may get but this motherboard that we got from asus definitely does have it's called a cpu installation tool it makes it really useful if you want to install a core i7 hexacore cpu yeah we've got one and it's an eighth oh my god that's so crunchy that's right folks we got one oh this is too much what did he even what is he saying he has got from asus definitely does have it's called a cpu installation oh my god no it makes it really useful if you want to install a core i7 hexacore cpu yeah we've got one and it's an eighth generation chip and it's ready to go oh man okay so it's like a it's like an like an 8700k it must be an 8700k you don't use you don't use the tool you you just drop the processor in the motherboard dude so what having this little installer does for you is it's basically a brace that you can apply right to the cpu and light it up with the triangles that you'll see on the bottom left no the triangles on the motherboard and this will make it easier for us to apply it to the motherboard no apply thermal paste and then apply a cpu cooler on it you don't apply anything just drop it and carefully lean it down into the system and make sure that everything lines up you took the tool off and you threw it to the side look at this he knew he f***ed up in this video he knows he f***ed up because look the tool the the tool is like right here it's to the side he knows he didn't need it now he can't delete everything he said because the editor is someone else other than him the final portion is to add the cpu cooler to the top end of the processor so you're gonna see that they're a full wrap oh it's like someone threw up thermal paste onto his processor no if this is the first time you've ever seen one of my videos don't ever don't ever apply thermal paste like that oh my god you know i i just noticed he installed his ram wrong too dude i can't even make fun of this guy anymore he's actually like messed up like almost everything you see this right here his ramsticks are right next to each other he's breaking the dual channel on his motherboard wow i actually know this z370 i've worked with it before um off channel so i know that when he actually turns this computer i haven't seen this i know that when he turns this computer on i know that it's gonna boot to the bios and everything but like this is very inefficient this is bad you're not supposed to do that we're almost done last side glass front glass and of course the back panel where all this fun stuff is happening so we've fully built the pc look at that oh no look man i know i've i've shown some bad cable management on the channel before but like not with the two thousand dollar budget i have oh my god okay so the radiator has the fans on now he forgot to install it during the build but now there are fans up there so he forgot and he just didn't even bring that up and oh man this is just curved so wack and then what is this oh these are the power cables they're just hanging over the motherboard he's got his hd audio cable just slang it out for the world to see it's just hang in there just so right now i'm playing league of ledlans it's one of my favorite games i'm actually playing against a bot what and i'm distracted so i'm not actually doing so well but um you've got an 8700 k and a 1080 inside and you're benchmarking with league of legends this can't be a troll video like he actually must be like completely serious the entire time while shooting this thing because it's this is a sponsored video and they have over 2.1 million subscribers there's just no way this is a troll video like this guy's actually serious for context league of legends the go and read this the minimum requirement for league of legends is literally a single core processor the developers actually tell you that the game can be run on a processor with one core this guy's using an 8700 k and benchmarking league of legends as if it's impressive the high frame rates like i am right oh man you guys don't know this or the context of this because i'm like a die hard league of legends fan but the fact that you play yasuo bro and the fact that you just threw a q out to god knows where let's watch this and hopefully what is this q buddy what is that who is this hitting where what are you doing why do you why are you why do you have 50 hp against a bot this is your life stefan if you're watching this this is you in a still frame have really high frame rates like i am right now i'm averaging 120 fps and that's only because i've actually locked the game to that frame rate because i can get around 300 fps playing league on maximum settings the reason you have it capped at 120 frames per second is because you probably are not using a monitor that is 144 hertz so anytime you get super high frame rates you're probably experiencing ghosting and yasuo showing up all over the place because your panel can't keep up with your system and of course now we also have a computer to test and benchmark games here at the verge oh capital one oh you got to get your logo scraped off this thing holy moly they have like to dislike and comments disabled do they do this for all their videos no they don't they don't do this for all their videos they just did it for this one people must have reacted so bad all right i i i need to get going to sleep but i'm glad i recorded this i think before it gets taken down i mean they should take this down
