Would have been nice to see an fps to $ graph with the difference in performance labeled in percentages :
give me the overkill
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the GPU not in the top slot on the 2nd to last rig?
Why do they keep only having one stick of ram inside the El Cheapo machine. They should know by now that Dual Channel RAM provides a massive performance increase with minimal budget increase.
Why do I feel like Linus forgets he basically lives in a pc warehouse most the time 😂
My gaming pc is over 9 years old with an Intel extreme board and a dinosaur i7 870 and a r9 280x that still runs fine. I will upgrade when my motherboard fails.
Whenever you’re doing used PC parts shopping I always recommend you check out your local thrift store. You never know what you might find.
Why is his own ad here?
Too get a decent spec PC here in little NZ and that’s building it yourself $1800 capable of gaming in 1440p on medium settings.
Broke vs pro gaming…..sound farmiliar?
For a good budget pc for £300 you could get a second hand go z600 and swap the graphics card for a 1050ti as it has a 295 nvs standard and will most likely will have around 24gb of ram in it and it has 2 cpus and 2 Gpus
Plz somone from where is the desk on 6:30 ?
For the athlete everything has changed
Monitor: Am I a joke to you?
What was the have that the gentleman was playing in the start?
ok i got an ad that has linus in it "pulseway"
why is the GPU in "the glow up" rig in the bottom PCI-e slot??? ,lol
Bb
Are they using an HDMI or a DP for the Athlete set up?
Anybody else notice how Linus is holding American $100 bills but he lives in Canada?
bad boy
Over-Kill: Plays Shadow of the Tomb Raider in 4K Ultra max settings at 144Hz.
My Laptop: Plays Tomb Raider (2013) Ultra in 1366*768 in Ultra (Not the highest) at 20 fps while converting my air-conditioned room into a desert 😑
can any one help? i want to upgrade my MacBook pro mid 2009 2.8 GHz dual core to 16 gig ram, 1066 its got 2 x 4gig ram can I put 2 x 8 gig ram 1066 is this possible?
See you in 20 years when youtube recommends this video and overkill becomes el cheapo 😂
I think………uh…..yep, you’ve forced my wallet & I back into couple’s therapy.
so they spend around 8k $ just to make this video?
How about also adding a few Mid / High tier Gaming Laptops to this Comparison Mix?
I am the cheapest desktop user. I have desktop including monitor, cpu, keyboard and mouse cost me $80.
Just ordered parts for my newest gaming PC at 2800 dollars but I got a 500 dollar 240hz monitor so 2300 for hardware otherwise. Can’t wait to build er’ up. I know nobody probably cares but here’s what I’m building:
Radeon RX 5700XT GPU (I’ll be honest, I’ve always used GTX, wanted to give AMD a shot, my OCD tells me that since AMD makes both the processor and the graphics card that maybe they could work together and be better. Old PC is a GTX 970, will put old computer specs in parenthesis), Ryzen 9 3900X CPU (AMD FX-8350), 32GB of DDR4 4000mhz RAM (32GB DDR3 2800mhz), 2TB gen4 NVME, (dual drives 128 boot SATA SSD, 2tb Firecuda SSHD) and going from a 144hz monitor to a 240hz one. What do you all think of my new build vs my old one?
Highest tier of raspberry pi: $70
PC master race be like "oh yeah, Tomb Raider, 4K max settings, 140 FPS"
Console wimps : "4K at 30 FPS is cinematic"
… no comment.
I’m the Athlete
Me:before watching the video he is gonna call the most expensive one overkill
The announcer: And finally at $6000 overkill
my pc is lower than el cheapo
A mid range is 1000 bux my dude my card declined on instant noodles
4:13 holy shit I thought I was the only one that did that when I used to play games on a laptop.
Just spent 7k on a gaming setup. Should regret it, but i don’t. But i’m most excited about the odyssey g9 monitor i’ve ordered.
they could have done better on the 1k and up cpus… $288 for hz monitor. na son
I just got a 144hz monitor and t looks SO DAMN SMOOTH
Give me money i will show how to spend money for a pc
My budget is €200 for Minecraft. I just want Minecraft 30 FPS. Onboard graphics. Why are pc’s so expensive lmao
But what about speakers?
saved up abt 2k for PC in early 2018. got some good deals on asus rog strix z370f, gigabyte G1 GeForce 1080, intel i7 8700k, corsair vengence ddr4 16gb ram (bought another 16gb in 2019), corsair h100i v2, case, harddrive and m.2 sata for system. been running great
I also consider my PC to be probs mid (highish?) range
Would it be alright to run say…. the gentlemen build but with a ryzen 9 cpu?
18:05 there’s a guy inside the fucking case dude
I’ve seen than for "El Cheapo" the website show you the red banner who say than the motherboard may require an update for the cpu but do i need to make this update to use a pc like this one or can i don’t make the update and still use this pc ? Thanks if someone reply.
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB
32GB DDR4 RAM
2x 2TB SSDs
Water Cooled
Modular Power Supply
Stock Peripherals
Surround Sound Setup
Can play any game out as of right now on ultra settings, only caveat is the RX 5700 XT doesn’t have Ray Tracing but as a trade off this rig easily produces 2-3 times the fps of a Ray Tracing rig.
Built this thing on a $1200 budget. Discounts and sales are awesome if you’ve got the patience. Just know that you don’t need $7K to get overkill graphics folks. Best of luck with your builds 🙂
What was the game that the gentleman was playing in the start?
we need an updated video for this
I have quite similar build with overkill only difference i have 2 times cheaper monitor cuz yea i dont think you need 4k monitor for gaming insteed of that i have 27ich, 240hz, 1ms and WQHD monitor for 700€
Can I have the overkill pc cause I don’t even own a gaming pc
