The Ultimate Halo Infinite Gaming PC: A Build Fit for a Legend

So today, we're building the ultimate Halo Infinite gaming PC. We've done a number of PC builds to help support Game Pass for PC, but this one might be the most ambitious in scale yet. Because we're trying to build the ultimate Halo Infinite PC, for the ultimate Halo fan, George Kittle.

I like this case because it does feel kind of Master Chiefy, especially about these three windows here. If we can tint that orange and turn the PC, I would think somewhat green, because some of this stuff, even though it is sort of like automotive-inspired, looks a little bit like armor. Thankfully, unlike some of our other builds for the fine Game Pass for PC team, which, of course, has PC games, we're actually going to be packing this up and driving it up to George Kittle himself, personally.

So we don't need to worry about shipping it, we don't need to worry about customs or freight or anything like that. Which to me, always makes me feel a lot better, because one of the most stressful parts of these high-end gaming PC builds is trying to ship it and hoping that it shows up in one piece.

My friends, the day is here. The limited edition Halo 6900 XT has arrived. I wish that this was ours, but we have to give this to George. George Kittle is an interesting guy, because not only is he an incredibly popular athlete, on top of that he is a massive Halo fan. I've heard that he's got a Halo tattoo.

He seems like, look, if I'm gonna be honest, a little bit of a Halo nerd, but that's a good thing, because if we're gonna spend all this time and effort to try to build the ultimate Halo Infinite PC, I hope it goes to the ultimate Halo fan! All right, the reveal is... Underneath this box!

Oh, my God! Oh, wow! Look at that! That's something else. Yo! Yo! Oh my God, dude. Dude. That's so good. Oh, my God and the back! Oh, and it says Halo over there. 1 17. 1 1 7. Halo Infinite, so like, well, we'll just thoroughly test Halo Infinite, before we give it to him.

Not because we want to play on the graphic card, because we wanna make sure - We wanna make sure he has a good experience. George will, your PC will be to shortly after we play it. For this build, we've each got a task. Jared is really gonna focus on the customization side of things. Think 3D printing, think the CNC work, the laser.

Ken is really on the aesthetic, making sure that this thing looks absolutely mint. And for me, I'm tryna make sure that the components side, the actual performance, is really there. Which means that we're trying to go for the most high-end stuff we can get. The brand new Core i9-12900K is about the best gaming CPU we can get.

Of course, we've got that incredible limited edition Halo 6900 XT, which is going to give tons of performance. But on top of that, we wanna load this thing up. Tons of memory, great SSD, a high-end power supply. As far as I'm concerned, there is no room for compromise, on this build.

Is George Kittle gonna say...

We're fine.Here it is!- Oh, that actually,wait, wait, wait, let me see.- Yeah, not bad, right?- Yo!- If it were me,- It's actually pretty good.- I would want it a little lighter.But, I think for what we were able to get,- Yeah.- and here's the visor,look at that.- Yo!I'm not gonna touch it,'cause I don't wanna ruin it.- That color withthat yellow tint on it?- It's gonna be-- Yeah!- It's very Master Chiefy.- Yeah.- Look, I had some doubtson the plasti dip, I had some doubts,'cause usually I see plasti dip it's like,plasti dipping wheelsand it looks terrible.- Well, youtube.com/austinevans and paintdon't exactly go well but,when Ken's doing it, this is what happens.- 100% accurate.- Yes.- 100% accurate.All right, good job, good job.But you also wanna do some lasering, too.- Yeah so, that yellowtint I showed you earlier,we're gonna be putting it on thesethree front panels for sure,and maybe something on the side panels,but we'll have to figure that part out.And I actually alreadyhave something set upon the laser, ready to go,to do some new tests.- Have you tested this yet?- We have not tested it yet.- Will it catch on fire?- We'll find out.So going into this,I had no idea if the laser was actuallygonna be able to cut any tint.One, tint is see-through,which means the laser mightjust pass completely through it.And two, it likes to curl up a ton,and lasers really enjoy having a nice,large flat space to use.So, we really had no idea going into it,if any of this wasactually gonna work out.- Do you wannaturn on the air purifier?- I did, do you want it on,maximum power?(machine whirring)- That is very loud. I feel pure.- We're gonna have the cleanestair in all of California.- All right, I'll watch it throughthe laser safety plastic glass.(Jared chuckles)- Oh wait, actually this was not gonna.(switch clicks)(machine whines down)- Yeah? What happened, Jared?(Jared chuckles)- I didn't set the work origin.So it was gonna laser inthe entire wrong place.- We had to spend extra onthe emergency stop button.- Yes, the snap maker, what the hell?Why don't you just include that?All right, you ready?- Yep, let's do it.- Let's see if it goes.(mellow music)- Nothing's on fire. That's a good sign.(knuckles knocking)That's, yeah, yeah.- That's not wood,there you go.- That's not, yeah.- So, as you can see on the back,it looks like it didn't laser the back,- Yeah.- and it's only the tint,which means this shouldlook pretty damn good.- Oh, look at this.- Yes!- Oh!- Oh, yeah.Oh, I like that.- Ah, dude, it looks so good on the tint.- You get that RGBthrough it, on the glass,and that should look pretty sick.I'm pretty excited for this now.I'm happy we tried that.- Let's go.- So right now we are attempting the tinton the...(hairdryer whirring)- Oh, you know what, I have to...I don't have,(hairdryer whirring)- Come on.- slacks on the table.- So the tint is currently being applied.What we've since learned,throughout the processes of today,is that we ordered exactly enough tintand not a single shred more.Which means that basically,we have one shot at this,because there's not enough time for tintto come in before we leave on Monday.- Trying not to peel it off.- So, no pressure.Shouldn't you guys haveput something soft down,so you're not scratching your plasti dip?- No.- Okay.- Yes. (chuckles)- Why would we dosomething smart like that?That's not Overclock way.- If we were smart, wewouldn't be working here.(group chuckles)(group chuckling)- If I was smart, Iwouldn't pay you next week.(group chuckling)That does it, should look really nice.- All right.- Wow! Ken, good job!(background chuckles)- That's about what he deserved.(group chuckles)- He definitely deserved that.- Yeah, just go home.(group chuckling)- Oh!- Yo!- Yo!- Yo!- Oh, my God, that looks good.- I can't wait to see that with the RGBgoing through it and everything.That's a big difference.It doesn't look so much,when you look right at it,and then you see the regular glass,and you notice like,- Yeah.- wow, okay.- Yeah.That contrast is nice.- Yeah.- Especially with the green,this actually looks Master Chiefy now.- Don't say, Master Chiefy.- Master Chiefy.- Don't say, MasterChiefy, I don't like that.- What's wrongwith, Master Chiefy?- It sounds, sus.- Austin, you of all people,do not have the right tocall anything we say, sus.- Prepare yourself for aural bliss.(keys tapping)- What?- Aurel.(background chuckling)Aurel, with an A.(background chuckling)- So my friends, another day,and actually a lot moreprogress on the system.So not only is the case coming together,so Ken's got the first levelof the plasti dipping done.Most things are vaguely inthe places they need to be.So, let's hope that this works.Here we go, no pressure.3, 2, 1.(drum roll)(button clicks)Oh, wow!- Ah, jeez.- That button has a lot more,- You cannot dome like that, Austin!- I pressed the button!- I didn't realize how far- Oh, my God! (chuckles)- you have to click it down!Okay, okay, okay, so,look, there are a lot ofthings that can go wrong,when you're testing your PC.You can forget to plugin the power supply,or forget to flip the switch,or not press the button all the way down.Look, these, these, these,these things happen!It's fine!Some buttons requiremore force than others.The power supply is obviously is powering,the graphics card is spinning.We've got the NZXT cooler on,the RGB for the memory is on.- And then we just don'thave the fans up here,plugged in ready.- Those are not plugged in.- Okay.- And yeah,there are literally no fansconnected to the systembesides the graphics card at the moment.- Oh! Oh!- Oh! Oh!Oh!Look at that! Beautiful!- Look at that.- CPU temperature, little warm,but that's fine.It's almost like installingfans is a good idea.Okay, that's actually...(Jared blowing)Ah...Actually let's, you wannasit here for a second?We'll do a little bit of troubleshooting,and actually install some fans,but it works.- That's all itneeds to do right now.- So the PC, at this point,is pretty much good to go.We got our tint on the windows,we got the plasti dipall applied and dried,all the PC componentsare tested and working.The only thing that's left for it,is to transport it up to San Jose,to present it to George Kittle himself.- So we have to be very quiet,George is in the other room right now,but we're frantically tryingto get the PC setup and ready.We have Tiny here as well,who has made an, can youactually show the keyboard?Look at this key cap she made.So Tiny's world's all about the artisankeyboard-side of things.So she custom hand-makes these incrediblyintricate key caps.So I know that Tinyhas spent a ton of timeworking on a couple of keycaps, to give to George.And so, when we're all together,I think it's reallygoing to be the ultimateHalo Infinite package,for what, could quite possibly be,the ultimate Halo fan.Come on, let's do it.- All right.- Okay.- I see a screen.(group chuckles)And, a place where maybea keyboard would go,some I'm connecting thedots just a little bit.- So, before we do the full reveal,- Yeah.- You're a bit of a Halo fan?- I, just mildly, yeah.- Mildly?- I read all the books so...(group chuckles)- I've heard that you got a Halo tattoo?- I, what side is that?It's the right side.- Yo! Whoa!- Wow.- Dude, that is so sick.- So my first Xboxwas the release of Halo 3.- Oh!- I got,so I have every Halo Xbox ever released.- Oh, really?- Besides the original Xbox,I was too young, Iplayed all the campaigns,probably, 20 to 30 times.- Oh, man.- Read all the books.Yeah, no, she knows I'm obsessed with it.My wife knows that I'mobsessed with it too.- Well, we might have something,- Yeah I was, I was,- You might have,you might like.- I'm pretty excited right now- All right.- Ah, we did-- Oh! The screen turned on.(group chuckles)That looks like Halo.Holy sh, Nike's.(Austin chuckles)(George gasps)- So...We built you a little something.(Austin chuckles)- Whoa!Oh, my goodness.I would've been cool with the mouse.(group chuckles)- So Tiny did an incredible job.She custom-made all of this.- That's awesome.- Including the key cap.- Yeah.- That is sick.That is The Chief.(group chuckling)This is just gross, in andall the best ways possible.- Yes!- So there's a tonof stuff in here.So, probably the big thing.- Yeah, talk to me about it,talk to me about it, stop it.- So the, probably the big thing-- Or shut up first, this is beautiful.(group chuckles)Now go, okay, I'm ready for it.- So, probably one of thebig things is the customHalo Infinite edition,6900 XT graphics card.- I saw that, yeah.- There are 117 of them in the worldand you've got one right here.- There's 117?- 117, you can't buy them.Only available, yeah, exactly.- Look at you guys.(group chuckles)Wow!- Did you see up front here,we did the laser engravingfor Halo Infinite,the UNSC logo.- Whoa, oh wow, that is just so...With the...- The dog tag?- Dog tags-- Did you know that Master Chief is 6'10?- Yeah, I did know that.- Okay! (chuckles)- You look, I don't even know why I asked.- 390, wow.Just an absolute stud, he'd bea pretty good dude to tackle.- Yeah!(group chuckles)- Wow, I can't wait toshow this to all my friendsand see how jealous they are.- Yeah.(group chuckles)- My buddy just got theInfinite in Xbox One.- Oh, yeah!- And so he was like,"Oh, yes, yeah," 'cause he'snot even a big Halo guy.And I was like, "Yeah, screw you."- Dude, you-- But, now I can send hima photo of this and so...Ha ha!(group chuckles)- So we're meetingGeorge for the first timeand he seems genuinely excitedabout this PC that we're presenting him.It's one thing to hearthat he's a huge Halo fan,he even has a MasterChief tattoo on his arm.But he, really, really likes this PC.And I think it's takingus all by surprise.- So this is actuallyreally special for me.I didn't get a go last timewe gave a PC away to somebody,so being there in person,and seeing his reaction,especially, as a genuineHalo fan, it felt good.Especially seeing him run upstairs,grab an Xbox controller thatwas a custom Halo design on it.It just shows that he isreally passionate about this,and that, this isn't just gonnago sit in a closet somewhereit's actually gonna be usedand I'm really glad George Kittle'sthe one that's gonna be using it.- I'm that guy that will sitand edit things for three hours- Yeah!- before I ever play a game.That's I'm sorry.(group chuckling)- That's all good,man, that's all good.- Oh, my goodness.Let's get in a nice power stand son.(group chuckling)The gaming chair's upstairs.Get me in the warthog.- Go, go, go, go, go!- Damn, how do I get in?- No, where are you? Come on!- All right, what are the button, X,is the button, I'm in.- There we go!Oh, what's the, oh!- Ah!(group gasps)All right, I got hit bya car by my own team.Let's ride.(group chuckles)- Oh! Wow!- Oh, that's what it does!(gun blasting)- There you go.- Ooh.- There you go.- There it is!- Hey!- I got my first one, let's ride.You know what, I'm not at thebottom of the leaderboard,so that's what really matters.(group chuckles)It's all perspective.- I didn't realize weboth play the same way.(group chuckles)- Uh, I'd have to win.- Hey!- I warmed up there a littlebit at the end, I'll take that.- Yeah, yeah!- Wow, some fancy wow.Power stance.- There you go, there you. (chuckles)- That was a long power stance.- You got stretched out now.- That's really fun.Do you know what I'm reallyhappy about this is that,this is a different account,it didn't affect my KD.(group chuckles)- This is for your practice!- Thank you.(Austin chuckles)- This build is one of the most fun buildsthat I've been involved in in a while,because it was, in someways, simple, right?I mean when you look at the final product,I think it looks pretty clean.Tiny's part of the systemabsolutely came out great.And the fact that the PC not only works,but almost more importantly,George is super-amped about it.To see that, sort of, genuineenthusiasm on George's face,when he's getting to play HaloInfinite for the first time,that is an incrediblyrewarding thing to see.So of course this is allthanks to our very good friendsover at Microsoft, forproviding the wonderful impetus,for not only Halo Infinite,but also to be able topull off a build like this.So don't forget,Game Pass has PC games,and also I'm very happy to saythat this PC has founda very, very good home.- That it has.I'm gonna have a lot of fun with it.We're gonna put a lot of hours into it.And I think I'm only gonnaplay Halo on this one,'cause I think that's all you're allowedto play on this one.- It doesn't actually install other games.- I like that.- It has Game Pass.There's a lot of games available,- For only halo.- they don't work.- Oh, it's only Halo games.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.Everything else just gives you,- Error?- a 117 error and then, Halo.Yeah, see.- He's clever, error 117.- Yeah.(George chuckles)- Thanks Microsoft, thank you.I dig your Halo, you guys are awesome.- With over 100 highquality PC games available,Game Pass for PC is anabsolute no-brainer.Between titles such as Forza Horizon 5,Halo Infinite, Back 4 Blood and many more,there's no reason notto get your hands on it.Especially considering that Halo Infiniteis just now dropping and you get accessto not only the multiplayer,but also that incrediblesingle-player campaign.On top of that, if you'reinterested in learning more,we've actually done aseries of these buildsto help support Game Pass for PC.Including one for Forza, Back 4 Blood,Jud even did one for Age of Empires.If you wanna check outany of those videos,definitely be sure to go check them out.And the links are in the description,if you're not already signedup for Game Pass for PC.(music fades out)
