- You wanna build your own DIY computer and you find yourself on newegg.com, who sponsored this video, by the way. Overwhelmed by all the
choices and all the acronyms. You got your NVMEs, you
got your LGAs, your PCIs. What does it all even mean? Do you painstakingly research? Which parts are the best? No my friends, not today. Today you let the fates decide. Or more accurately the sort
by Best Rating feature. Yes my friends, for today's machine, we are gonna be flying
absolutely blindfolded, simply ordering whatever
it is on newegg.com that has the highest egg rating, throwing it all together and seeing what kind of computer we end up with. And I can tell you some of the
choices are probably not ones that I would have defaulted to. (upbeat music) First up, we've got the
Ryzen 7 3700 X from AMD. It's an eight core, 16 thread
processor, and its just $300. This puppy is a multitasking powerhouse able to plow through the
latest games and your renders or animations or whatever
else it is that you like to do on the side. It has five out of five eggs
with 3,300 reviews on Newegg with some of the highlights
being good performance and the stock cooler is good. And if this chip doesn't
convince you to dump Intel, you must be dead. What does that even mean? We won't actually be using
the stock cooler though. So let's focus on the bottom line here. Pros: just what I wanted, even more. Cons: Just too much power. Overall review: Perfect product. All right. Fair enough. We'll have to see what
Ryzen 5000 has to say about the perfect Ryzen 3000. On that subject one of the best things about AMD's platform right now is the forward and backwards compatibility of their chip sets. So this motherboard right
here, the MSI Meg X570 ACE, not only has features
that are useful today, like 2.5 Gig ethernet and
wifi 6 as well as solid VRMs for overclocking but the
capability to upgrade it with a Ryzen 5000 series
CPU down the line. Now motherboards tend
to be a little bit more on the finicky side than CPUs. So our highest rated
motherboard was actually just four eggs out of
five with 176 reviews. In spite of the fact that
this is a $360 board. Let's go ahead and throw our CPU in there. A little something like that. That's customer satisfaction right there. That's what it looks like. The herd mentality PC is
going really well here so far. For memory we ended up with
a 16 Gig kit of 3200 MHZ, CL 16 RGB memory from
none other than G skill. The general consensus here
with four out of five eggs and 2,494 reviews was that the pros are that they are highly compatible
with most boards out there. And one of the few 3,200 MHZ kits that happens to be on the QBL
or the Qualified Vendor List for lots of boards with the cons being that it has ignored my advances,
will not make me a sandwich and does not run hot
enough to warm my coffee. Those are some pretty small downsides. The highlighted overall review was, has run continuously and
flawlessly in my system for about half a year now. And also the RGB works and looks great. Here's what I didn't see coming. When I think boot SSD, maybe
I bought into the hype. I tend to think more like, you know, the guys that market cutting edge features like PCI express gen four, like Corsair or the guys that focus
almost exclusively on SSDs, like a Samsung or a micron, but Intel actually came
out on top with their 660P. This right here is a 1TB drive that boasts 1800MHZ per
second reads and writes with QLC NAND. So not exactly a top
performer, but at 130 bucks, it's reasonably priced for a terabyte of reasonably fast storage and it's got five eggs out of
five with almost 900 reviews. Advantages for this product
include things like, fast, reliable, and easy to install. While one of the biggest
complaints about it was that the user no longer had enough time to go get a glass of water while their system booted
leading to dehydration. So it could be dangerous
to use one of these SSDs, but your computer will run just fine. Maybe the cooler I'll
end up being something I don't agree with, I'm just kidding. The community knows not
Noctua knows what's up. So highlights of the
NH-U12S are just that it is, a no-nonsense cooler
that gets the job done. It has good enough performance while being absolutely silent. If you can figure your
bios to a silent mode. And of course it comes
with not to as legendary Sekou firm mounting system, which I am personally a big old fan of. While we work on updating
the compatibility of this older unit of this cooler, seems like a good time to talk about one of the patterns that
I've noticed emerging in the hardware choices
that we've looked at today. The SSD had a five-year warranty, the cooler has a six-year warranty and Noctua has an outstanding reputation for providing a mounting
brackets and adapters that customers need down
the line for their products. And this Seasonic Power
Supply has a 10-year warranty. It seems like, by large,
the herd mentality computer is considering things
that a hardware reviewer might not normally, like the long-term support
that comes with the product, as opposed to just the
price to performance ratio. For the finishing touch,
we throw on our fan and plugged the fan cable
into the CPU fan header right there on the motherboard. Back over to the Power Supply. We didn't strictly speaking
need a 750 Watt Power Supply, but I also don't disagree with the Newegg Community's choice here. This is the Seasonic focused GX-750. It's got 80 plus gold
certification, it's fully modular, it's quiet and even
includes a hybrid mode, where the fan will turn off
entirely under very light loads, and it's going to have a
little bit of growing room for you in the future. The main pros were, Hey, well, I didn't need a 750 Watt Power Supply, but it was the same price
as the 650, so why not? With one of the main cons being, an out-of-date user manual? Oh, we should have a look at that. That tells me not to use it in
the bathtub in 20 languages, but not how the fan control button works. Oh, Lordy. Okay. Well, Oh yeah, no, it doesn't
say which toggle is right. I think out is actually
hybrid mode, which is weird. Don't quote me on that though. A separate manual for
that now. Yes, yes, yes. Out an Audi belly button is hybrid build. Bringing us finally to
probably the funkiest choice in our viewers choice PC here. This is the Cooler Master HAF XB Evo and it's advertised as like a land box slash I think they also say it's like good as a test bench or something. Do they actually say that?
Or is that your thing? - [Nicholas] That in the marketing. - It's in the marketing for it. Huh? Okay. What's funny about this is
that even though I don't recall ever having seen one of
these out in the wild, like at a land party or anything, it has a five out of five
egg rating with get this, 8,562 reviews as of the time
of recording this video. I mean, that is shocking. The main pros for this guy or that it is surprisingly spacious with a well thought out
design in most regards. And that really is all you
can ask for a case, Isn't it? Six thumbs screws at the back, give us pretty much all
the access that we need to the inside of the chassis for building. And I can actually see how
this would appeal to people even though I haven't
set eyes on this thing in years and years. And that was probably a
previous revision of the case. All the accessories are
included in this little hard drive shaped-cardboard box. And natively has support
for up to four hard drives with two of them being hot swaps really is pretty easy to work in. Get our front panel cables out of the way and plug in front USB three. You know what's another interesting trend is the fact that RGB lighting seems to be a complete non-factor when it comes to people's purchase satisfaction, all of the three items that
do have any RGB lighting, only the Ram is available in an identical, but non RGB configuration. So it seems like for the most part, people are just picking whatever
is great bang for the buck with a complete
indifference towards whether it has RGB or not. Even the Ram. I wouldn't read too much into
it because a lot of the time what memory people buy is more down to what on promo this week as opposed to what they
actually think is the best. Although there were some
complaints about not two as Brown and tan color scheme. People really wanted a different though, there is a black one for $10 more. So apparently it just
doesn't matter that much. You know I made a couple
offhand comments before about how old this case design is, but like this really dates it, it still has one of those
AC97 offshoot dongle things on the front panel, audio connection. Who's putting a motherboard old enough with the cooler master,
revise your is here. Hooking up the front panel connectors now, this is not my best cable
and management, but whatever, whoever wins this thing can fix it for me. Oh yeah, I don't think
I actually mentioned that part of the Newegg
sponsorship for this video is that we going to be
giving away this computer. Fun, right? That's one of the nicest things about modular Power Supply cables is you can kind of run them whenever and whichever direction you want. So I'm running them over
to the motherboard first then I will plug in the Power Supply end once I put the PSU in down here. Got a couple of eight pins. Man, this is easy to get at
compared to a typical tower case where all the cable management
room is kind of like behind the motherboard tray
in this tiny little channel. We are gonna have a hard drive so I'm gonna go ahead and
grab a SATA cable here and then do what the, Hey, why don't we throw it in
the old hot swap thing? So that's Oh, that's kind of
a kludgy approach to that. They've just got this female connector, like soldered on to an exposed PCB there. Okay. The most amazing part is
how much of a difference all these little conveniences make to how long it takes to complete a build. Like here we are, we are almost
done ladies and gentlemen. We are wiring up the Power Supply. We're going to screw it back in, throw the graphics card
in and we're close. We settled on the Western
Digital 4TB, WD 405SZBX, because it's got four out of
five eggs and 1500 reviews and 150 bucks is not a lot of money for a whack ton of storage space. It's super easy to install
with tool less Mount. You just got to line
up the thing in Boober and then you put the
pokies and the Holies there and just kind of do
like that kind of thing until it's kind of in
there, like it should be and then you take the whole
sled, slide it in there. Oh, Oh, it's falling apart. Can you go in there? What the, Oh, stop. Why are these getting caught? They're not even sticking out. Oh, it's under the drive now just go in. It's caught again. What the heck is it caught on? Okay, well it's there now. This is a perfect example of how going by whatever has the best, and or the most reviews
can be a great strategy, but it can also mean that
you're stuck with sorta out of date information, because the thing about the
RTX 2000 series is awkward. It's kind of been replaced at this point, but because the RTX 3000 series
is so supply constrained, well, nobody has them to leave a bunch of
positive reviews about it. So it's not like we're
getting a bad product here in the form of the RTX 2070
super twin frozen Gaming X from MSI. It's just that we're not
getting the most current one. Removed before gaming, zero
froze or fan not spinning, don't worry this card runs in silent mode, under low load situations. Nice. That's fun. One of the cons of this card
is that it is big, real big, but one of the pros is
that MSI actually went out of their way to include
a support bracket with it. How fun is that? Got a whole like bracket
experience to help with that sag. Nothing against them assign Nicholas, but I'm a little curious
as to how exactly we got so many of their products. What did you use as a tie breaker if you had two five-eggs products? - [Nicholas] Basically
the number of reviews. - Got it. So we took whatever
was the bigger seller and said, okay, well this
is a greater sample size. So it's more statistically significant. I have never installed a graphics card with a support bracket like that before and it's totally
unnecessary in this chassis because the graphics card
actually just sits like this. There is no sag, but I kind
of want to do it anyway. So we're gonna do it. Come on, sometimes you just
got to do stuff for fun, you know? - [Girl] Hey daddy. - Yes. My darling girl. - [Girl] Can I have Apples please? - You would like apples. Well, we're more of a PC house. - [Girl] What are you playing? - What am I playing? I'm not playing anything my love I'm building a computer. - [Girl] Can I help please? - Actually. Yes. you can help if you'd like,
would you like to help? - Yes.
- Okay, come here. Fun. This is something I
didn't actually notice before. These handles are super handy if you want to move the system
around, all right, go ahead. One there and one there, my darling, (instrumental music) This might take a while. Let's go get our peripherals so we can fire up some games on here. It posted immediately. Let's go ahead and try
XMP and it's only 3800MHZ. It should be okay. Don't read too much into
the monitor or peripherals. These were just things you
grabbed from the office, not the top rated ones
or anything like that. Now this game is violent,
you can't watch this Tylan. All right, We're running
some dual maternal at 1080P at what? Just shy of 300 FPS, which actually makes more
sense than you might think with this 360 Hertz monitor. Nice and clean obviously coz
it's like little butter smooth. I mean, that doesn't change that I missed a lot of the shots
I take, but minor details. Right, right, right, right. See you later. Oh, I'm gonna die. Oh, I died. That's okay. The main point was, does the system work? Yes it does and does
the review system work? Actually it kind of seems like it does without any knowledge of parts, other than making sure that
our CPU and motherboard were compatible. All we had to do is take
the top reviewed products and we ended up with what is not only a very competent gaming rig, but even one with great
cooling and silent operation, and it's a pretty great value. And the best part is, thanks
to Newegg sponsorship. You don't even have to pay
for it at all if you win it. We're back at the office and guess what? Instead of the last gen
RTX 2000 series card, Newegg asked us to upgrade our
system with a new EVGA 3080X3 that they sent over. I think Newegg must be going
for a five-egg rating here, because check this out. They also sent another
card and EVGA 3090 FTW3 for us to give away. No, not for you. So enter below for a chance
to win this PC with a 3080, or a 3090 FTW3 and afterwards, go check out Newegg's PC Builder which helps you choose compatible
parts for your next build and upload your builds to Newegg
showcase to show them off. It's that time of year guys
Newegg is having Black Friday deals all month long, including a Black Friday
price protection program from November 1st to November 22nd. So you can find links to all of this in the video description. If you guys enjoyed this video
and you weren't lucky enough to win this, maybe check out
the ruthless economy build, cause you don't have to
spend this much to get a, well functional gaming MIG, gaming MIG? Gaming, PC gaming machine rig. Whatever just close the video.
The motherboard was pretty expensive for the spec, but overall I'm impressed at how well this turned out. I kinda want that case now.
Is that a real kitchen?
