**Full Article: A Day-to-Day Setup Tour**
Hello everyone and welcome to another video! There has been a lot of speculation about the setup I use on a daily basis. Some of you seem to think I live in a massive mansion and secretly run a Core i9 processor with triple GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, while others assume I live in the middle of a field in a shed running a potato PC like a Pentium 3 and GT 120. However, it's time to put any rumors aside and give you the grand tour of my pretty standard setup, which may leave you a little bit underwhelmed. Let’s dive right into it!

### **Location and Living Situation**
I live at my grandparents' house, which makes the most financial sense while I’m saving up for a flat or a house. I live in Kent, and if you look up house prices in Kent, you’ll see they’re pretty astronomical. The chances of me moving out by the time I'm 45 are quite slim!

### **Monitor**
This is the monitor I use—a Dell 24-inch 1080p monitor. I got this in a sale for about £100. It’s nothing special, but it was cheap and does the job perfectly fine. I think this is a great monitor; initially, the colors looked a little bit washed out when I first purchased it, but that issue was resolved by setting the color to "Fall" instead of "Limited" in the Nvidia drivers.

### **Keyboard and Mouse**
Down here, we’ve got the Corsair K63 wireless gaming keyboard. My friend Darren (from the YouTube channel Dazzle Razzmatazz) gave me this keyboard for free because I desperately needed an upgrade from my broken wireless keyboard and mouse combo. If you’re a regular viewer, you might remember seeing this setup about a year ago when I reviewed my £15/$20 keyboard and mouse setup.
As for the mouse, it’s a small, affordable gaming mouse that works pretty well. The only downside is that the green LED light is always on, which can be a bit annoying if you’re sitting in the dark by yourself. However, aside from that, it fits in the hand quite well, and I don’t see any need to purchase a more expensive gaming mouse until this one decides to break.

### **Speakers**
I’ve also got some Dell speakers here since my monitor doesn’t have built-in speakers like many monitors these days. These speakers were actually free as part of an old PC I picked up for about £20. They came with this massive box thing here, which sits below the desk and allows me to control the base and all that fancy stuff.

### **PC Setup**
This is the heart of my setup—a Ryzen 5 1600 and GTX 1070 configuration. The Ryzen 5 1600 I got for cheap, paying about £110 in a lucky online sale. The GTX 1070 MSI Aero Edition (ITX version) was actually sent to me by MSI themselves for a review, and they let me keep it, which was nice of them.
Inside the PC, we’ve got a Corsair TX650 power supply, which I upgraded from my previous 550-watt PSU to test more demanding and high-end graphics cards. The motherboard is an MSI Tomahawk B350 ATX board, which was sent to me by AMD along with the Ryzen 3 1200 processor (which has since been replaced by the Ryzen 5 1600). Unfortunately, not everything I use is provided for free—some of us YouTubers have to purchase components ourselves!
The RAM in this system is 24GB of DDR4 2400MHz Corsair memory. I bought it because here in the UK, it was a lot cheaper than faster-speed RAM at the time. It seems to work pretty well, and I haven’t experienced any issues with running demanding tasks like gaming or video editing.

### **PlayStation Consoles**
Under the desk, we’ve also got some PlayStation consoles. This is a DualShock 4 controller and a PlayStation 4, which are stored in a slide-out drawer where the keyboard would normally sit. I still have a PS4 for exclusives that aren’t available on PC, like *Uncharted* and *The Last of Us*. However, I don’t use it too often if I’m being honest.
Also under here is a PlayStation 3—I reviewed this a while back and wondered whether it was still worth owning as a last-generation console in 2017. I keep it for exclusives like *Red Dead Redemption*.

### **PC Build Details**
Inside the PC, we’ve got an MSI Aero Edition GTX 1070 graphics card, which I love because it’s small and fits perfectly in this case—even though I absolutely hate the case itself! I need to get a new one as soon as possible. My cable management is also terrible, but at least everything is kept in place inside the enclosure.
We’ve got a front fan in there, and I recently took out the rear fan because the outside temperature was mild enough today in England. That’s the PC I use on a day-to-day basis—I never would have bought a GTX 1070 if it wasn’t sent to me by MSI, so that was pretty kind of them.
The Ryzen 5 1600 seems to be very good for my gaming and editing needs. Speaking of which, here’s Dave—he’s currently building a nest in the garden with some twigs. If you’ve seen him before, you might know he’s not great at nest-building; last year, his nest rolled down the roof, and it was quite the chase to retrieve it—thankfully, there were no eggs involved!

### **Camera Setup**
Another quick word on my equipment: This is the Canon Legria HF R606 camera, which was also given to me by my friend Darren. It’s a pretty good camera for close-up and outdoor shots, but honestly, I use my iPhone 6 camera more often these days. I had an iPhone 5s before, which was my trusty old device, but unfortunately, it stopped working. My sister was about to upgrade her phone, so I just took this one and fixed the cracked screen. Now, this is my daily driver for all my YouTube filming needs.
