Hey guys, this is Austin. So you may have seen just a couple of my budget gaming PC builds, however today we're doing something a little bit different. Meet Helium, a brand new, high end gaming PC powered by Ryzen. So big shout to AMD for hooking us up with Ryzen early.

So inside this box you'll see that we have a few things going on. We've got the Ryzen 7 processor, which is a 8-core, 16-thread beast of a chip. We're also using two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards, which are some of the most powerful consumer-grade GPUs out there. And finally, we've got a pair of Seagate Barracuda hard drives, one of which is a 4 terabyte behemoth that's going to provide us with plenty of storage space.

Now I know what you're thinking - why did we choose the GTX 1080s instead of the new GTX 1080 Ti? Well, JayzTwoCents let me borrow his 1080s for this build, and they're still some of the best consumer-grade GPUs out there. Plus, they're a great match for our Ryzen CPU - with eight cores and 16 threads, we've got plenty of power to throw at demanding games like Ashes of the Singularity.

So let's take a closer look at what's inside this build. We've got the Ryzen 7 processor, which is just out of the box and ready to go. It's got all the usual features - eight cores, 16 threads, and a 3.6 gigahertz base clock speed. But one of the things that really sets it apart from other processors on the market is its overclocking capabilities. With AMD's Ryzen Master Utility, we're able to get this thing running at a blistering 4 gigahertz across all eight cores - which isn't bad for a first try.

Of course, the real test of any build is how it performs in the games that matter most. So let's fire up GTA V and see what our Helium build can do. Well, I'm happy to report that this thing is hardly even breaking a sweat. We're getting over 80 frames per second at full resolution, with everything cranked up to maximum settings on an LG Ultrawide monitor. And even when we switch to Epic mode, we're still averaging around 230-250 frames per second.

But it's not just GTA V that our Helium build can handle - Ashes of the Singularity is another game that takes full advantage of DirectX 12 and puts a huge amount of power on the CPU. And on extreme settings, we're getting a respectable 55 frames per second. Of course, this isn't surprising given how powerful our CPU and GPU are - but it's still great to see.

Now I know some of you might be thinking - what about Overwatch? Well, let me tell you, this build can handle that game no problem too. We're averaging around 80-90 frames per second on Epic settings at full resolution, which is just incredible. And the best part is - our Ryzen CPU is handling all that power with ease, making it feel like there's no bottleneck whatsoever.

So what does the future hold for this build? Well, one thing that's definitely clear is that AMD's Ryzen CPUs are going to be a major player in the gaming world for years to come. With their overclocking capabilities and ability to handle demanding games like Ashes of the Singularity, they're going to be a must-have for any serious gamer.

And finally, let me say thanks to everyone who's been following along with this build - I couldn't have done it without all your support and interest.

And as always, the links to everything you need to build a system just like this will be in the description below.

In conclusion, I'd like to say again how happy I am with the performance of our Helium build. With its Ryzen 7 CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards, and pair of Seagate Barracuda hard drives, we've got a system that's capable of handling even the most demanding games with ease. And as always, I'll be back next time to show you what other builds can do - so stay tuned!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey guys, this is Austin.So you may have seenjust a couple of mybudget gaming PC builds,however today we're doingsomething a little bit different,meet Helium, a brandnew, high end gaming PCpowered by Ryzen.So big shout to AMDfor hooking us up with Ryzen early.So inside this box you'll seethat we have some fun toysto play with for this build.So first of all, we have the brand newRyzen 7 1800X processor.Now this thing is no joke.Not only does it have eightfull cores that hyper-threaded,but it can run at up to four gigahertz.We also have the newMSI X370 XPower GamingTitanium Motherboard,because of course the longerthe name, the better the board.But, this is just the beginningof what we have in store for Helium.For the case, we're doing somethingjust a little bit different.This is the Corsair 600C.Now from the outside it mightlook like any other case,but take a look at the 600Cand you'll see that it is a little bitof a different looking case.So you pop it open,and what you'll find is that insideeverything is flipped upside down,so your power supply goes up here,the motherboard goes in upside down,the graphics cards are here,and while in theory this will allow itto be a little bit more compactthan a normal, large ATX case,honestly I also just thinkit looks really cool.Powering the Helium is a 750 wattEVGA SuperNOVA power supply.So while this might technically bejust a little bit morethan we actually needto run this system,I always like to have just alittle bit of extra headroom,and since it's an 80 Plus Gold supply,it means that it shouldbe reliable and efficientfor quite a while.So since we're using a Ryzen CPU,we have to have an AMDAM4 motherboard,which is where the XPower comes in.So in theory, this actuallywill support future AMD chips,however Ryzen 7 should beabout as high end as it gets for a while,and this still has all thebells and whistles that we want.Also, that looks really cool.So this is my first closelook at an AM4 motherboard,and for the most part everythingyou expect to be is right here.So the biggest difference you'll seeis the cooling is obviouslygoing to be differentto most Intel boards,but for the most part you'll find stufflike DDR4, M.2 support,everything is here, butI've got to give MSI props,this is a crazy, crazylooking motherboard.Just the idea of having that silver finishacross the entire thingit looks so, so clean.I absolutely love it.None of this is going to be muchwithout a Ryzen processor to power it.So this is the 1800X,which means that the box itselfis actually going to be pretty empty.So there's no stock cooler included here,so you will have to planon getting something else.As you'll see, we have somethinga little special in mind,but what we do have that's themost important is the 1800X,as well as a little Ryzen stickerif you want to let everyoneknow how cool you are, I guess.So to install, all we need to dois just pull the armback to open the socket,we line our 1800X up nice and carefullyuntil it rests into place,and then we just push the arm downand it's going to be fully installed.For memory we have 16 gigabytesof Corsair Vengeance LPX.So not only is this DDR4,but it actually can clockup to 3,000 megahertz,so paired with our Ryzen processorthis should be a pretty,pretty speedy system.For the SSD, we have a Samsung 950 PRO.Now I'm a big fan of these.They are really, really fast,and since it comes in the M.2 form factorit means that we can nicelytuck it away in the build.Now I cheaped out and got the 256 version,but if you want to upgrade to more storageyou can get this in 512 gigabytes,and of course we dohave a normal hard driveto go in the system, as well.Keeping our 1800X coolis an EK Predator 240.So this is an all in one water coolerwith Ryzen logo on the side,and at stock this is way overkill,but it should allow usto do some pretty decent overclocking.This is looking a little bit more like it.So what we ended up doingis putting our water coolingin the front of the caseand then changing the case fansto pull air in from the bottom.So the idea is is that airshould be coming upinto the graphics cardsand exhausted out the back.Now the Ryzen branding mightbe a little bit over the top.So not only is it onthe actual block itself,but there's also a little logo here,but once we get the graphics cards in,we get cables a little bit more managed,this should be a reallyclean looking system.Speaking of the graphics cards,we've got a pair of GTX 1080s.Now yes, the 1080Ti was just announced,but I don't have any of those,and JayzTwoCents let me borrow his 1080s,so that's what we're using for the build.One of the cool parts aboutusing this system though,especially with this case,is that it actually looks pretty cool.We actually are ableto show the graphicscards off pretty well.Last but not least we have a 4 terabyteSeagate Barracuda hard drive.Now this combined with the 950 PROshould give us plenty ofstorage space with the Helium,and with that the buildis pretty much done.So let's do a littlebit of cable managementand see what this guy can actually do.Alright, so the Heliumbuild is up and running,but before we get into the actual games,I'm curious how the Ryzen7 processor performs.So in Cinebench on the single-thread sideit's a little bit downon something like a Kaby Lake Core i7,but most importantlywhen you get into the multi-thread sideit absolutely kills it,and that just makes sense.Of course, we have eightcores and 16 threads here,so that is going to be a lot of powerto tackle not only gaming,but things like editing or streaming.Something cool about Ryzenis that all the CPUs aregoing to be overclockableas long as you have amotherboard that supports it.Now on the high end thatshould be no surprise,but especially as more and more affordableRyzen chips come out that'sgoing to be a big advantage,and they're all capable ofusing the Ryzen Master Utility.So this is a Windowsbased overclocking tool,and while it's a little bit basicyou still get a lot of the major thingsthat you would expect,including being able tochange the clock speed,voltage, memory clocks,that kind of stuff.However, it's in beta right nowand I've had a few issues with it,so I'm going to beoverclocking using the BIOS.With a quick overclockwe've got the 1800X running at 4 gigahertzacross all eight cores,and we did that withoutneeding any additional voltage.Now it's not a hugeimprovement over stock,but it's essentially free performance,and if you don't mindthrowing more voltageand you have enough coolingthen there's definitelymore headroom left in it,but what I'm curious about ishow Ryzen performs at stock.With GTA V, the Helium ishardly even breaking a sweat.So playing on the LG Ultrawide monitorwhich is running at 3840 by 1600,even with basically everything cranked upwe're still getting over80 frames per secondacross the board.While Overwatch might notbe the greatest game to playon an Ultrawide monitor,this is complete overkill.Even playing on epicsettings at full resolutionwe're still averaging about230 to 250 frames per second.Next, we have Ashes of the Singularity.Now this might not be the mostpopular game in the world,but it does a great job ofnot only taking advantageof DirectX 12,but also as much CPU poweras you can throw at it,and here on extreme settingswe're getting a very respectable55 frames per second.Next up, we have Battlefield 1,and this is another gamethat is fully supported by DirectX 12.So the nice thing here isthat with those dual 1080sand our Ryzen CPU nothing isreally being bottlenecked,so even with full ultra settingsI'm still averaging about80 to 90 frames per second.While Ryzen might nothave a huge advantagewhen it comes to gamingcompared to somethinglike a Core i5 or an i7,having all those extra cores is helpfulfor things like editingas well as streaming,and of course it can totallyhandle games no problem.So as always, the links toeverything you guys needto build the system willbe in the description,and I'm curious, what doyou guys think about Ryzen?Let me know in the comments below,and I will catch you on the next one.
