You should really do streaming benchmarks, because the Ryzen PC was only recommended after the salesman was told that streaming was going to be a workload. Otherwise the system is just going to loose points because the other companys didn't even ask. The same salesman also asked about monitors to rule out 4k or high refresh screens, so it seem very appropriate

[@BrKnOblivion]

Not to mention Ryzen in gaming isn't as bad as Linus portrays. HWU showed that the 2600X performs equally well in 1440p as the 8700K as it becomes more GPU limited. As soon as the game becomes single core Frequency limited the Ryzen will lose out. So basically get a decent GPU with the 2600X and crank up the Image Quality to get the GPU limitation rather than the CPU limitation, which really only applies to a few games these days.

[@trapical]

Their laptops are even worse nowadays and it's embarassing. Like, having to remove the entire back plus the keyboard to get into many of their lower end laptops is a huge annoyance and the only thing that makes it better than places like MSI are that you don't have to take out the entire motherboard to get to the ram and other important things. However, it's still way more annoying than like HP or Asus who are very easy to service typically.

[@somedumbcameron]

I agree, my family bought a Dell Studio XPS that now 10 years later after a Graphics Card upgrade to a GTX 670 is still going strong as my primary pc. It wasn't that big of a hassle to get into it but there were a lot of auxiliary arms and stuff holding me back from the GPU. Going to be sad to see this thing go away when I upgrade to my first self built system but with the i7 970, it just ain't making the cut. Overall, Dell is still in my opinion a fantastic brand. Almost forgot my Dell Inspirion 15 5558 laptop that I use for school that is pretty nice.

[@Houze968]

While a Dell wasn't my FIRST pc (that honor goes to Packard Bell, RIP - before I knew shit about comps), the first one I really tinkered with was an XPS and that shit was a pain in the ass to upgrade with all the proprietary BS.

Houze968 oh I know right? I would refurbish this thing if it weren’t for the fact that the MOBO is a LGA1136 and proprietary

[@joetheoriginalclark]

Now that I'm thinking about it I can somewhat pinpoint the moment I realized I was really into PC's. In 7th grade or so when that PC was a few years old I started messing around with the BIOS and I found the setting for Hyperthreading but I'm pretty sure that it was called something else in the Dell bios. So I powered it back on and googled it (didn't have access to another PC at home) and figured out the basics of what it did and turned it on and was sooo pleased with myself. For some reason it was turned off by default, though that could have been due to that computer being made before just about any program was set up for multi threading. Anyways it was an awesome feeling to get a bit of a performance boost for free by just turning on a setting in a bios menu, I was hype for weeks.

just want to say that i think the ryzen system seems like the most sensible specced one, as it was specified for streaming/ encoding aswell as gaming. though i agree there could have been a recommendation for/ more emphasis on getting a graphics upgrade over the AIO, but still for the stated purpose of not simply playing games/ gaming, but playing games/ gaming - *while* streaming or encoding video at the same time, then i think if you ran your benchmarks with that workload as the focus, even to the extent of just not running benchmarks without streaming or encoding at the same time at all, then the 2600+1060 system (especially again where the targeted monitor is a 'normal 1080p' one) would be the one id expect to provide the smoothest experience.

Are you kidding me? Canceling the order and then calling you to confirm when there's a discrepancy in the information given with the credit card information issued is not a negative. Quite the opposite. It would be one thing if they cancelled the order and never informed you. But what seems to have had happened here is that they cancelled the order so as to prevent money from being taken unlawfully that could not be retrieved once removed from someone's account, and then immediately called you and then once confirming the legitimacy of the order they prioritize the delivery at their own expense. Definitely a win for HP, at least with your credit card information.

I have two of their systems, and it is so empty because if you open the back panel you will see all of the cable management that they very pain stankenly route for the least amount of cables being seen in the front. and to Thermal Ions, the Hard drive cage is in the basement of the case. that case has two slots in the basement for 3.5" HDD's. and then 2 2.5" HDD slots on top of the PSU shroud. The case that i have looks similar to this, but it has a tempered glass front that sticks out to give large air openings on the top and bottom that allow my 2 140mm fans to suck a ton of air in, with a filter of course, and i keep my case with a positive pressure.

R5 2600X with a 1060 is a perfectly good balance of CPU/GPU too, though a 1070 would have been nice for that price I suppose.

[@thrdeye7304]

They did have the best service, but HP arrived first and the product appears to be better. The 8700/1070 combo should easily top the benchmarks. It has an NVMe SSD rather than SATA and 2TB HDD as opposed to Maingear's 1TB. The HP also has an optical drive, hot swap hard drive bays, and what appears to be better front I/O. The only advantage Maingear has is cooling. The HP's cooling appears to be adequate but really, 92mm fans in 2018? I build my own PCs so I'm not at all the target market for these systems but I've had a good impression of the Omen machines (even recommended one the other day) and it appears I was on the money with that. If you don't want to build it yourself and money is no object, it seems like Maingear would be a good choice. At the $1500 range you're probably looking for the best value and out of these options HP is it.

[@TechZACH16]

If we’re taking it as a whole package and assuming no building knowledge for the end user, main gear cleaned house after the customer support video. Packaging was top notch, service was the best of the bunch, and the machine was competent - if a little overpriced. Assuming an above average amount of building knowledge, I’d still buy something else.

[@MightyHobo]

The HP machine is a $2000 machine compared to the $1500 Maingear machine. Price to performance I think the maingear system has the edge and in terms of daily use I would much rather have the quieter and cooler maingear system.

[@helicopter201]

You say bare, I say clean. Mainline for overall packaging, customer assistance, price conscious selections, & final system configuration. Modern AMD Ryzen may not quite beat equivalent Intel on benchmarks, but are still plenty for 90% of "gamers;" remaining 10% are spec sheet warriors/hardware snobs who wouldn't use these companies configuration reccomendations anyway. Remember, he asked whether the person had a high end or was looking to upgrade to a 4k monitor...GTX 1060 is the perfect price to performance card for 1080p games; just like the 2600K Great video!

More than $1500, actually. They had to go outside the budget to upgrade to the i5 from an i3.

Yeh origin wont wim this competition :)

[@rampage3337]

don't forget that you cant actualy even play any games on the origin pc becaus it has no memory. i mean after installing windows, and gameing drivers you whould prety mutch run out of that SSD memory.

[@DumbArse]

You can't install Win 10 and AC: Odyssey on the thing because of the lack of space. Maybe some e-sports games and that's it. Origins is a real dissapointment

[@leylandlynxvlog]

The Origin is like an aesthetic ornament, not so much a functional gaming PC. It's like a Mac in a way. Powerful but not powerful enough for the price - you're paying for the look. The build quality seems off, seeing how it rattled from being packed badly. Or they just should have packed it properly.

[@OGBeefStew]

For that price you could have bought 37 copies of Bookworm Adventures on eBay. You missed out.

[@Dontrespondtome169]

Lol, I thought this was Bookworm Adventures. You should play that next time

[@kevinfontanari]

Bookworm adventures is good, but I think I prefer Bejeweled...

[@TapeW69]

Damn, you have gained Dunkeys attention and are now on course to gain Linus' attention? Living legend, game awards we're obviously rigged as bookworm adventures deluxe didn't win

[@stuartmacleod7896]

Stop following me!

[@username-mb2qh]

If you get Linus into Bookworm Adventures Deluxe Edition™ that would be severely epic.

[@rygull]

I really want to know if CyberPower has responded to you. I'm 100% positive someone posted this video to their twitter or facebook or whatever.
