The 490 is still Top Dog AMD has nothing that can touch the 490 it's latest 7900 XTX is more comparison to the 4080 the one step down card and it has nothing that can currently touch the 490 so I don't have the budget for a 4090 I have never bought the 90 series top end but I appreciate that Nvidia is trying to push the space for PSU I had a Corsair for a long time it died on me but I appreciated that I was able to use it for multiple Generations so Corsair is a good brand but actually there are a lot of other brands now that are cheaper and have the same good quality I'm currently using an fsp we've had good experience with deepcool psus in the shop seic is another brand that usually comes to mind for psus okay Nam Sil superflower is still under ated still a bit under the radar but our shop experience with them has also been very good so there are a lot of good PSU brands that you don't need to pay the premium prices like for Corsair but you're still getting very good quality I feel like the PSU is one of the things that people like to over complicate I mean there are the PSU tier lists they have to look at specific models for me that's a level of OC that I don't really want to expend on a black box as long as it's stable as long as it's reliable that's all I really need an 80 plus gold fully modular PSU from the likes of deep cool or fsp superflower buy it stick it into your computer forget about it it will last longer than that computer and the last topic for this video is another confession I have that I don't really pour over the reviews too much for my own personal build is the motherboard generally I've had good experience with gigabyte stretching back to my previous Intel build so for this current build I just got an x570 S Ultra durable from gigabyte gigabyte in general okay for motherboards like I'm not unhappy with it for sure the other brands are quality as well MSI Asus we've sold a lot of them in the shop generally without any problems but personally I just prefer gigabyte because Ultra durable does seem to mean Ultra durable at least in my own personal experience now a lot of people delve into vrm temperatures and how many chokes and how many layers and when I review motherboards I do find all of that stuff kind of interesting but as an end user a lot of the time as long as you get a good quality board doesn't necessarily need to be topof the line but you know 34s towards the top of the line don't scrimp Nam man but yeah get a good quality board and the build takes care of itself yeah I haven't had any problems with this particular build I never had any problems over the years with my previous Intel build that also had a gigabyte Ultra durable and that's not even the top of the line of gigabyte I mean they have the Oro sub brand for that

I do admit some of the newer motherboards now from other manufacturers look a bit cooler like in particular Asus always has these little nice touches which only like real enthusiasts who have to get their hands dirty installing things into the motherboard mounting it into the case will actually appreciate but I appreciate that they're there so to be honest this was a very stream of Consciousness video I just set out the topics I wanted to talk about but I had no script for what I said about those topics if there are any other things like you want to know about my build what I think about Brands just feel free to ask in the comments and maybe I'll do a follow-up video on your end person who clicked that thumbnail I hope you're happy with your PC choices or you're happy with the choices that someone else made for you when you went to the shop and asked them hey I need a build for gaming I don't know too much can you help me if you got it from Hardware sugar

hey person click that thumbnail if you're into computer hardware there's definitely one thing you can't avoid YouTube other people's opinion this video is my way of saying I don't give a hoot but these are my personal choices starting with my choice where I got my Windows activation key activated Windows well lucky you off.com windows 10 and windows 11 activation pose legit but now I found the love of my life that a purpose but now I'm a world class Zumba instructor so web developer and content creator for a YouTube channel and windows original software check out cdk offer.com check out cdk offer.com check out TDK offer.com okay first up in no particular order I really like Wireless if there's an option to remove a wire I will take it so my personal preference is that my mouse always needs to be Wireless currently my keyboard is wired but the keyboards I've been trying out lately particularly from Asus have convinced me that my concerns about latency about lag are unfounded and my keyboard is pretty old now so probably maybe in a year two I will get a wireless one my headset is also Wireless and if you're getting a headset I would seriously advise you to make sure it's wireless time to cut the cord anything that can go Wireless I generally try to make it Wireless next up a big one in the PC space to RGB or not to RGB that is always the question but as you can see behind me I am a no RGB kind of guy yes the GPU has a little RGB it came with the GPU I don't particularly care about it either way I've never tried to customize it the motherboard has some light the cooler I'm using has a little bit of light but overall I've never done the RGB aesthetic I made no effort to kind of synchronize the lights of my PC behind me and don't get me wrong RGB can be cool but it gets old fast and personally I've noticed the RGB setups that I like are the ones that don't use all of the colors you can set them to a monochromatic let's say all white or all blue or just like a dual color scheme so using or getting more with less where the PC looks cool but because of the edges of its parts because you know that it's running good Hardware because you know it's running optimized like you got the latest drivers you made sure you kind of tweaked a little bit the settings of the RAM and the CPU and the GPU it looks good because you know it's running well under the hood so for me not an RGB guy but if you like RGB that's no problem RGB is of course just for Aesthetics and I think an underappreciated athetic touch is getting custom cables a while back cable mod sent us like not just me but basically everybody in the shop the option to have custom cables and the one I chose was for my rig and you can choose them like the individual strands of the mobile and GPU power connectors so I chose like a gray blue purple kind of scheme and they still look very good and for me they're a subtle but clear sign that custom cables now you don't necessarily need to go full customization like the ones from cable mod there are a lot of cable extenders that are colored so if you just want all white for your wires or like a crisscrossing blue black blue red design or things like that there are options available next choice which a lot of people have different opinions about is whether you're a water bender or an air bender or are you using air cooling or are you using an AO now I've tried both and long time viewers will remember how successful my mounting of a 360 mm rad AO on my current case was and if I may say so that was a brilliant design choice on my part so GPU obviously radiator that's why in and even though so consequence L lampas KC radiator but that's okay it'll do its job but I have had different aios 240 360 different models from different brands on my computer but I'm liking my current look the best I'm using a deep cool AK 620 digital I love the digital I love the concept that you can just take a quick glance and see basic information without having to pull up a window without having to click anything just turn turn your eyes and the information is there now you can have that with an aiio of course again with the digital line from Deep cool and other models from other brands but for the aesthetic of my computer I think bagy you AK 620 digital it's you know kind of like a skyscraper sprouting Rising dramatically from the motherboard and this is really subjective aios have gotten to the point where they're not that much more difficult than an air cooler mounting A rad is pretty straightforward mounting the fans onto the rad mounting the CPU Block it's basically as straightforward as mounting an air cooler maintenance also there is no appreciable practical difference you don't add water to an AO some people do ask us about it that's why I'm mentioning it in the video that water that that fluid inside the AO is already self-contained you don't need to add anything so the maintenance is just like an air cooler so you brush out the dirt that gets trapped in the radiator the same way that you would brush out the dirt that gets trapped in the tower of an air cooler an aiio from a good brand doesn't leak I guess point of failure there is a higher chance of an aiio pump breaking compared to the fans of an air cooler braking and if they do break they're much easier to replace but again on a practical level we haven't seen a higher RMA rate for aios compared to air coolers so this is a purely subjective opinion I I guess I'm just old school and I still prefer an air cooler if there's nothing like super special about an AO that would attract me to it and on performance it's not true that you need an AO for the latest and the greatest or to keep very hot CPUs cool I'm currently running a ryzen 9 5900 x with a two toer air cooler and I've hadn't had any problems speaking of CPUs the age-old debate whether team blue or team red I I will admit to being a little team red I like patronizing the underdog and in CPUs I know they're they're kind of similar already but you know AMD was an underdog for such a long time that I still associate them with that position I really appreciate that they developed the heck out of ryzen I mean am4 was such a golden age you could get ryzen 1000 am4 and then technically just upgrade the CPU all the way up to the ryzen 5000 and would it would probably still be compatible with that motherboard I mean the am4 ecosystem was you know it it has so much value it's still has a lot of value now so I really appreciate AMD for that unlike Intel which likes changing up its sockets every two or three generations performance nowadays they're sort of neck and neck with am5 prices around the same as the Intel 14th gen AMD was nicer before because you know they were a clear price to Performance Advantage but but now not so much so I admit that a lot of the reasons why I like AMD are in the past they're not currently true anymore at least for am5 versus Intel 14th gen but that's not true for gpus for gpus I prefer Nvidia I appreciate the performance and the innovations that Nvidia is trying to bring to the space whether that is AI upscaling the whole RTX thing in general I mean Nvidia is really the leader AMD just tries to follow and perhaps unfairly because I know their drivers are better now but I was really traumatized as someone who owns Hardware sugar back in the day with the 5,000 series cards AMD the drivers were not great we had customers coming back to us complaining how come their games are crashing and it's very hard to tell a customer that you know we're sorry there's nothing we can do the hardware seems to be fine it's just that yeah the drivers are crap and if the drivers are crap there's nothing we can do so I'm still traumatized by that in general NVIDIA drivers are still more stable and Nvidia really tries to swing for the home run I mean you know the 490 is still Top Dog AMD has nothing that can touch the 490 it's latest 7900 XTX is more comparison to the 4080 the one step down card and it has nothing that can currently touch the 490 so I don't have the budget for a 4090 I have never bought the 90 series top end but I appreciate that Nvidia is trying to push the space for PSU I had a Corsair for a long time it died on me but I appreciated that I was able to use it for multiple Generations so Corsair is a good brand but actually there are a lot of other brands now that are cheaper and have the same good quality I'm currently using an fsp we've had good experience with deepcool psus in the shop seic is another brand that usually comes to mind for psus okay Nam Sil superflower is still under ated still a bit under the radar but our shop experience with them has also been very good so there are a lot of good PSU brands that you don't need to pay the premium prices like for Corsair but you're still getting very good quality I feel like the PSU is one of the things that people like to over complicate I mean there are the PSU tier lists they have to look at specific models for me that's a level of OC that I don't really want to expend on a black box as long as it's stable as long as it's reliable that's all I really need an 80 plus gold fully modular PSU from the likes of deep cool or fsp superflower buy it stick it into your computer forget about it it will last longer than that computer and the last topic for this video is another confession I have that I don't really pour over the reviews too much for my own personal build is the motherboard generally I've had good experience with gigabyte stretching back to my previous Intel build so for this current build I just got an x570 S Ultra durable from gigabyte gigabyte in general okay for motherboards like I'm not unhappy with it for sure the other brands are quality as well MSI Asus we've sold a lot of them in the shop generally without any problems but personally I just prefer gigabyte because Ultra durable does seem to mean Ultra durable at least in my own personal experience now a lot of people delve into vrm temperatures and how many chokes and how many layers and when I review motherboards I do find all of that stuff kind of interesting but as an end user a lot of the time as long as you get a good quality board doesn't necessarily need to be topof the line but you know 34s towards the top of the line don't scrimp Nam man but yeah get a good quality board and the build takes care of itself yeah I haven't had any problems with this particular build I never had any problems over the years with my previous Intel build that also had a gigabyte Ultra durable and that's not even the top of the line of gigabyte I mean they have the Oro sub brand for that I do admit some of the newer motherboards
