Jack was a legend. Giving Matt all the best deals and that guy knows his stuff. Brilliant 👏🏼

[@disguiseddv8ant486]

You must haven't been to a Micro Center before. The employees in each department are knowledgeable of the store products that they're selling. This is a common practice at Micro Center.

[@Justznate]

Wow, this was really fun and exciting to watch. You should definitely do it again but with based theme builds such as $2,000 Corsair Budget build or a $1,800 MSI Budget build. Otherwise then that, I really enjoyed it. Thanks Toasty Bros.

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@huskers1278 AMD GPU’s pair better with their CPU counterparts. The 7950x would have been a better option.

[@huskers1278]

@zacksnetwork5652 Meh wanted faster ram than AMD supports. I'm running 7200 CL32. Also 13900k generally beats 7950x in gaming performance albeit not as efficiently. I live In a state that electricity is only 9 cents per kw so that didn't really matter

[@onlytheneeded412]

@@ZackSNetwork I agree, I have the 7900x3d and 7900XT. I wanted these in particular for their power consumption, as they both run a step below in terms of wattage for what AMD offers. I suspect I won't have to upgrade again for quite some time, probably will upgrade at the end of the AM5 cycle when they release their last iteration for GPU and CPU, but I might not even upgrade the CPU again for quite some time until they get some really efficient chips out. Though it seems we are etching closer and closer to laptop wattages, which is great, but I would really like a laptop that we could have a mobo interchange in.

[@craigshorey6764]

Love Microcenter. Hopefully they sponsor more videos like this.

water cooled and dual monitor that's a pretty damn good use of money

Only downside about water cooling is that it eventually fails :(

@@alagui7894 An AIO will last 7-8yrs at most if you take care of dusting it

[@armeniancrusader301]

@@SkateClipsAndTips And an air cooler will last for at least 20 years since it’s just a big block of aluminium and copper with one or more fans, the fans have a limited lifespan but the air cooler itself could last for eternity. There are good big air coolers from Be Quiet and Noctua wich compete with AIOs, I would only get an AIO if I’d ever have the need for a very powerful high TDP CPU like an i9 or a Ryzen 9.

The PSU is a 750 Corsair. It goes with a Gigabyte Vision b550 plus AMD 5600 and Lian LI 240 AIO all picked up at Micro Center Cincinnati. Black and White theme. Everything was just at 700 bucks. Finished Saturday, has a 700 watt Thermaltake PSU right now will replace with the Corsair this weekend. Been doing this since 1994.

[@parkersgarage4216]

i gotta pick the dual monitor w aio as the winner. i picked up a strix 4080 for 1100. pretty happy w my personal setup. good vid guys it was interesting to see the 2 different build styles.

love this channel & Microcenter is the best physical store hands down. my last 2 GPU's were a Microcenter open boxed RX 6800 & RX 7900 XTX. both Red Devils & both $300-$350 less than MSRP.

Is Microcenter like our PC World in the UK? Online stores and shops have cheaper prices. A shame Lian Li fans and coolers are in short supply here in the UK at the moment. Can't buy any for love or money right now. I had to go with a Lian Li 750w SFX PSU because the 850w is out of stock(I can always upgrade later, right? I assume the sockets on both PSUs are the same pinout design?).

I'd love to shop at a Microcenter and build my very first ever gaming PC. I'm not willing to drive 609 miles one way, 1218 round trip for that experience. I don't see any Microcenter coming to a location anywhere near me in any semblance of reasonable traveling distance, at any time in the future. Microscenter is not too shipping friendly with in store only for the vast majority of what they retail. Both builds look absolutely stunning and aesthetically pleasing. I would chose Jack's build as it would not only game well it should handle photo and video editing as well. These are two of the best builds I have seen on your channel since I discovered you guys and became a subscriber. Hopefully it will go for sale at PCbros without the requirement to pick up locally only. That drive would be several days for me from my little piece of dirt in NE Arizona.
