All right, here goes nothing. So the system is an absolute mess right now. The power supply is technically out of the system, even though everything is connected. So let's see if we can actually get it to post or whether or not we're going to be sad boys. Here goes nothing. Whoo! That. That is some rainbow puke, if I've ever seen it.
Oh, that block looks really nice. Damn. Wow. This thing is ridiculous. There we go. So, we have Ryzen 9 5950X, we have all 32 gigs of our memory. And, obviously, our GPU is up and running. I think we have successfully built a gaming PC. So, now, excuse us while we spend the next three hours cable-managing and RGB-tuning. And then let's take a closer look at my new gaming PC and see exactly how powerful an all-AMD setup can be in 2020, or 2021, by the time you're watching this video.
And we're done with RGB-tuning. So, the personal all-AMD gaming PC is complete, at least for now. So we spent most of the day getting this thing all sorted. So now that we have the cable management done, we have the RGB set to... surprise, surprise, white. Now, we played around with a couple of options. I mean, if we really wanna lean into the AMD side of things, we could set it to be all-red. This just looks like our murder PC and I don't really think that's the style I want to go for.
I personally think it looks really dope, just setting it all to pure white, especially 'cause it sort of gives you all that sort of look inside at the super clean build that we've done. Ryzen 9 5950X. We also have, of course, that 6800 XT, which aesthetically is the only thing that has a little splash of colors. Of course, you have the red sort of ring around it, as well as the glowing Radeon logo, that can't be changed. I personally think it's fine.
Now, beyond that, let's actually take a closer look at how this thing performs. Surprisingly, exactly, no one: it is really, really fast. The 5950 X is, hands down, the fastest gaming CPU out right now. And it's one of the fastest CPUs, full stop. So especially when you put it alongside my previous build, which is using a 2080Ti, it is a significant step forward.
And, of course, when you look at the price to performance against something like the RTX 3080, it's a little bit more complicated. So this card, if you can find one, because, of course, all these are out of stock right now, costs about $50 less than an RTX 3080, and pretty much matches it in gaming performance. It also has 16 gigs of RAM as opposed to 10 gigs of RAM on the 3080.
But on the flip side, that 3080 has a ton of additional features. So you're gonna get better performance there, as Nvidia's DLSS. And you also have a lot of the RTX-specific features, like RTX Voice and a much better encoding engine, which is important if you are doing streaming.
So, of course, the game they're actually going to be playing all the time is F1 2020. I have no doubt that this will be incredibly smooth and I will have zero problems. No doubt whatsoever. Wow, that is so fast. Did you see how fast that loaded? Are you serious right now?
Damn. So, with 200 frames per second, F1 is absolutely no problem here. And the nice thing about this system is that no matter what I wanna do with it, I should have no problems, right? Actually, I really like this Alienware monitor.
So, this was, actually, originally from BROKE vs PRO, I think. This is your setup for the flight sim video, right? Yes, you are taking my monitor. See, Micro Center likes me sometimes, too. So what can we say about this system? Well, I certainly have more work to do.
So I need to not only optimize the fan curves, because it is a little bit loud right now, as well as I might see about maybe moving that Rad up front. It might make more sense instead of having it in the top, 'cause I might have some cleaner airflow. But the main question is going to be,
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hello, and welcome toour wonderful sponsor,Micro Center,where I'm about to embarkon a gaming PC challenge.Tomorrow the RX 6800 and6800 XT are launching,which means that I amgoing to be upgradingmy personal gaming PC rigfor the first time in a very long time.I'm going full AMD.Ryzen 9,5950Xand the 6800 XT.So let's go inside andbegin our red future.That's the way-No, that's not the way to do it.The-- That sounds grim.- So this is whatall the hype is about.The brand new AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT,with 16 gigs of GDDR6 memory,I can't wait put in my PC(upbeat music)tomorrow.Powering the system, I'llbe using an 850-watt,EVGA SuperNOVA.This should be more thanenough power for a Ryzen 9and the 6800 XT.Cooling our Ryzen 9 processor,we have the brand newiCUE H100i CORSAIR Elite CAPELLIX.Now, not only does ithave a 240-mil radiator,but importantly,it has that fresh newRGB look on the block.Which I think should look especially sweet,with all of our RGB throughout the system.So, do you have somememory for me by chance?I see 4000.Can I trouble you for that by chance?So, this is absoluteoverkill for a Ryzen 9.But, what? You clicked onthe video for overkill.You didn't click on itfor a boring town 5000.- Yeah, we can get abeige case from the back.No problem.- And when it comes to the motherboard,I'm gonna go with the ASRock X570M.Now, finding an X570 Micro-ATX boardis not the easiest thing in the world.But the nice thing is, of course,we're not really losing any features,and I can load up withall the memory I want.For a case,we're gonna be using theCORSAIR Crystal Series 280X.We've actually used this casein a previous video before.But I really like working on this case,because it has a ton of roomto hide your power supplyand everything else in the back.So, to keep our RGB theme intact,we're gonna go with a set of the LL120s.Now, look,we've used these in a bunchof systems in the past.They are not only, probably,the best-looking RGB fans out there,but, importantly, fans tokeep everything nice and cool.So when it comes to the SSD,the 980 PRO from Samsunghas my name all over it.7000 megabytes per second read speed.(upbeat music)- No way!- I've been subscribed forlike, the longest time ever!- Dude.- Can I get a selfie with you?- Of course.- (censored) Yeah.(both laughing)(upbeat music)- All right.It is launch day for the 6800 seriesand I am ready to buildmyself a brand-new gaming PC.So, of course,huge shout out to Micro Center,as always,for sponsoring our coverage.And specifically,if you haven't alreadygotten onboard with it,check out the link in the description.They're actually giving awaya free 32-gigabyte MicroSD cardas well as USB drive,and there's no purchase necessary.So, what are you waiting for?Just go, head into yourfriendly local Micro Center,maybe, get some partsbut also, get your free stuff too.Whoo hoo hoo hoo.This is what I'm talking about.The Ryzen 9 5950X.That is gonna be-mm...I've actually not donea Ryzen 5000 build yet.The only compromise I had to makewas literally just on the 500-gig 980 Pro.Now, there's no doubt thisis the top dog on SSDsat the moment,however, I grabbed thevery last one in the store.So I think at some point Imay try to get another SSDbut 500 gigs will definitely be enoughto get me started for now.All right.- We also have...- Oh.Right.I forgot about that, you know,the most important partof this entire video.Now, yes, of course,I could have waited a littlebit longer for the 6900 XT,which is of course a more powerful card,but the price to performance on that one,I don't think is going to be as strong.As far as I'm concerned,the 6800 XT is going to be the sweet spot.It still has the same 16 gigs of RAM,very similar clock speeds,very similar across the board,except it has a slightlycut down CU count.But, I assume, obviously,not having tried the 6900 XT,that the difference won't be huge,and all the benchmarks,everything is sort of pointingtoward this being a very close match,at least in gaming performanceto the RTX 2080.3080, 3080.I know my numbers.All right.Na, na, na, na, na,na, na, na, na, na, na.Oh, it's still in thepackage. (clears throat)Oh, that is some good foam.So, this case is pretty uniquebecause, typically, whenyou're building a gaming PC,especially if you wanna trydo something on the high end,you have two choices.You're either going to gofor a very small ITX system,which there's certainlynothing wrong with that,or you go for a fairly large chassis.There's not a lot of, sortof, middle ground options.And for me, I want more than one PCI slot.So I wanna be able to connectsomething like a4K capture card via PCI.But I also want to have somethingwhich is not going to be enormous,because I usually dokeep my PC on my desk.So one of the nice parts about this systemis you have two windows.You have one up front andwe have one on this top.But on top of that, if youcome around to the backside,you have this, I would say a basementbut it's on the side.But you have this back areawhere you can put your power supply,you can load up drives,or importantly,hide all your cables.So I am not going to begiving you a full tutorialon how to build a gaming PC.I have done that many times.In fact, I actually didone earlier this yearif you want to check it out,where we shot it actuallyat the Micro Center store.I will say the black andwhite color scheme is already-I'm already happy with it.Having some contrast, I think,is always important for a system, right?- You're gonna havewhite RGB anyways, right?Or white LED?- I think so.We'll play around with it.I think I wanna gowith, mostly, white on the RGB.All right, here we go.Time to install the Ryzen 9 5950X.But this should bepretty much, hands down,the best gaming, streamingand all-around badass processorthat you can buy today.Now, I will, primarily, beusing this for Google Docs.But secondarily,I will also be usingthis to stream as well.Now do I need-- Wait.- Yes, I will be back to streaming.- Really?- Part of the reason Ihaven't been streaming latelyis because my personalPC has been taken apart,and I've completely redone my officeso I had no desk or chair to stream with.But, stay tuned,subscribe, follow, Twitch,all that kind of fun stuff.So, of course, we'relooking at 16 Zen 3 cores,a clock speed of up to five gigahertz,and we'll see how far we can overclock it.Again, keeping in mind,I'm not going to go crazyon it, but, you know,couple megahertz here,a gigahertz there.It never hurt anybody, right?- Oh, there we go.- That is the move.32 gigs.All four DIMMs loaded up,with the 4000 megahertzDDR4.(Austin sniffles)Ah!I love the smell ofgigahertz in the morning.It's gonna be so good,I'll gigahert later.- 'does that even mean?What does that even mean?That drink's been sittingthere for 38 hours.- Tastes delicious.- Is that mold or matcha?(Ken laughing)- I'm gonna ignore your rude commentand continue with my supercool gaming PC build.(screwdriver revving)That's not as far in thereas I think it should be.Why is that not in thereas far as it should be?- Spacer, or...- But why was that already there?No, no, no, no, no.We're done filming.You can stop filming now.We're done. It's fine.I definitely didn't glue my SSD downslightly out of the positionit should have been.Put the camera down.I definitely didn't just screw this upand I have to gently extract it.I slightly misaligned it, okay?These things happen.Sometimes, you slightly misalign it.- Thank God, you'renot trying to have kids,Austin Evans,(Austin mocking crying)are you?Maybe we know why you don't have them.(Austin laughs)- Big Yikes.Okay.What do we have in here?Oh my God,look at the size of that block.- Oof.- That is huge.So,I gotta unscrew that.Nah, yeah, yeah, yeah.I have to unscrew that. Okay.(upbeat music)It's where we start playing dubstep.The kids like dubstep, right?You know, for the montage,it's like, (mimics dubstep music)And we get, like, the RGB lights in here.Kids love that.(dubstep music)(screwdriver revving)(dubstep music continues)All right.Here goes nothing.(dubstep music)(screwdriver revving)All right.So the system is anabsolute mess right now.The power supply istechnically out of the system,even though everything is connected.So let's see if we canactually get it to postor whether or not we'regoing to be sad boys.Here goes nothing.Whoo.That.That is some rainbowpuke, if I've ever seen it?- Oh, that block looks really nice.- Damn.- Wow.- This thing is ridiculous.There we go.So, we have Ryzen 9 5950X,we have all 32 gigs of our memory.And, obviously, our GPU is up and running.I think we have successfullybuilt a gaming PC.So, now, excuse uswhile we spend the nextthree hours cable-managingand RGB-tuning.And then let's take a closer lookat my new gaming PCand see exactly how powerfulan all-AMD setup can be in 2020,or 2021,by the time you're watching this video.And we're done with RGB-tuning.And so, the personalall-AMD gaming PC is complete,at least for now.So we spent most of the daygetting this thing all sorted.So now that we have thecable management done,we have the RGB set to...surprise, surprise, white.Now, we played aroundwith a couple of options.So, I mean, if we really wanna leaninto the AMD side of things,we could set it to be all-red.This just looks like our murder PCand I don't really think thatthat's the style I want to go for.I personally think it looks really dope,just setting it all to pure white,especially 'cause it sort of gives youall that sort of look insideat the super clean buildthat we've done.Ryzen 95950X.We also have, of course, that 6800 XT,which aesthetically is the only thingthat has a little splash of colors.Of course, you have thered sort of ring around it,as well as the glowing Radeon logo,that can't be changed.I personally think it's fine.Now, beyond that,let's actually take a closer lookat how this thing performs.Surprisingly, exactly, no one:it is really, really fast.The 5950 X is, hands down,the fastest gaming CPU out right now.And it's one of thefastest CPUs, full stop.So especially when you put italongside my previous build,which is using a 2080Ti,it is a significant step forward.And, of course,when you look at the price to performanceagainst something like the RTX 3080,it's a little bit more complicated.So this card, if you can find one,because, of course,all these are out of stock right now,costs about $50 less than an RTX 3080,and pretty much matchesit in gaming performance.It also has 16 gigs of RAMas opposed to 10 gigs of RAM on the 3080.But on the flip side,that 3080 has a ton ofadditional features.So it has much better ray-tracing support,so you're gonna getbetter performance there,as Nvidia's DLSS.And you also have a lot ofthe RTX-specific features,like RTX Voice and a muchbetter encoding engine,which is important ifyou are doing streaming.So, of course,the game they're actually goingto be playing all the time,is F1 2020.I have no doubt that thiswill be incredibly smoothand I will have zero problems.No doubt whatsoever.(upbeat music)Wow, that is so fast.Did you see how fast that loaded?Are you serious right now?Damn.So, with 200 frames per second,F1 is absolutely no problem here.And the nice thing about this system,is that no matter what I wanna do with it,I should have no problems, right?Actually, I really likethis Alienware monitor.So, this was, actually,originally from BROKE vs PRO, I think.This is your setup for theflight sim video, right?- Yes, you are taking my monitor.- Yes, I am.See, Micro Center likes me sometimes, too.So what can we say about this system?Well, I certainly have more work to do.So I need to not onlyoptimize the fan curves,because it is a little bit loud right now,as well as,I might see about maybemoving that Rad up front.It might make more senseinstead of having it in the top,'cause I might have some cleaner airflow.But the main question is going to be,"How well does this hold up long-termfor my ultimate gaming personal setup?"So make sure, subscribe to the channelfor lots more about thiswonderful, wonderfulnew build of my life.And again, huge thank you to Micro Centerfor sponsoring this video.Definitely, be sure to go check them outand all the parts I used,at the links in the description.Now, if you excuse me,I am going to go learn how to drive betterwith a controller.(upbeat music)
