You have a talent my friend. You're about half my age and will never see this post but I'd say you're a polymath (or something exceeding it) with regards to your profession - and it is a profession. Watching your night vision video, when you commented on the ready or not menu music, I thought the exact same thing. "That's wonderful" music.

[@OperatorDrewski]

Thanks man :)

[@Leinks173]

I think I started watching your videos around 2018/2019 ish so I’m far from an OG fan, but 3 or 4 years is still more than enough to be able to see this video and know how much progress you’ve made over the years. I just thought that I should remind you that we love you Drewsk, all 1.67 million of us.

[@coltonbucholz6278]

Congratulations man. Seriously a great success story. It’s nice to hear about someone who worked their butt off to get where they are and see it all pay off.

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

Was he very poor before? I'm not seeing the "Great success story" thing. If an adult cant afford all of this, they've done something very wrong in life.

[@Fabzil]

@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un it's all about priorities, really. Very few people make their gaming PC the number 1 priority, and so when it's time to pay for the PC, they rarely have $ 5k lying around. Especially that a decent PC can be found for $ 2k. Now obviously, if someone like Drewsky has his PC in the top 3 of his life priority, then even with a minimum wage job, you can buy this PC within a year and enjoy it for 6 or 7 years.

[@81darkrider]

This man is such an inspiration to me when he started talking about how he didn’t have a high end pc when he was younger and low fps and how his friends all had a good one trying to get your money’s worth out of the cheapest decent pc he could find it reminded me of myself I hope to reach his level one day.

[@jericho1-4]

My seventeen year old son is a huge fan of pc gaming and over the years has contributed to the cost of lower to mid range upgrades. This spring I asked him for his wish list of gaming PC setup, as dad in my late 40's most of my gaming was on consoles or arcade machines. Little did I know how expensive the components could cost for a top tier gaming PC, I had planned to surprise him for Christmas but was worried about having part/component delays do to availability and ordered everything off his list in June. To my astonishment it all got here by mid August, So I called a close friend of mine and had him come up to our place for the week and do the build for me. On my son's 17th birthday I gave him his gift, sure the thing cost me almost 8k with all the peripherals but the look on my son's face and his overwhelming appreciation were well worth it. While I totally suck at PC gaming, mainly do to the learning curve going from console to PC I gotta admit now I want to get one for myself so I can grind away with him, maybe my wife will hook me up lol here's to wishful thinking lmao.

[@thecowboyfromcali]

@@jericho1-4 That's sick to hear, honestly a good dad moment. Honestly as a hardcore gamer, I can say that MOST modern game titles have some sort of controller support on PC, so it makes the switch a little less aggravating and tedious to learn. Movement on keyboard in general just comes with time/practice so it isn't a huge deal if you aren't the best right away. I'd say stick to the core games you are familiar with, and every once in a while try to use mouse/keyboard a little more, and maybe try some new titles to test motor function. I recommend trying CSGO, as there's community made maps for a gamemode called surf, or another called B-Hop. They are just movement based minigames that allow you to practice moving around, and it has a fairly high skill cap, so it encourages practice and time played. Plus CSGO is free, so it isn't another little payment you have to worry about. Or you could go with the classic, Minecraft, where creativity knows almost no limits. The basic core game is very simple, and allows you to practice WASD+mouse movement with a fairly chill vibe. If you end up getting yourself a PC, maybe your wife could get one too and you could do some fun co-op games to help encourage that same feeling as "family game night" once did for many families before modern video game consoles took over. I always held the sentiment that Gaming as a whole is one of the best, cheapest hobbies, as it only requires a startup fee and power/internet. PC gaming, I hold slightly higher in regards, because at one moment you could be playing a game, then running through e-mails, then watching a movie, then googling something. The customization is near endless, and the amount of things you can accomplish is wild. A lot cheaper than working on cars or in a woodshop all day at least. Food for thought, but yeah, i digress. You're a stellar dad for that

[@jericho1-4]

@@thecowboyfromcali Are you telling me I can buy PC ported console controllers to use with the PC to keep things simplified for me. That listening to my kids bust a gut laughing at me and my plethora of mistakes I've made on Console ported versions of games I've for years? Yeah I knew this, sometimes it good for our youngins to see us as parents make mistakes get flustered and scream out "you mother fucker". I've had some say I'm deceiving him by doing that, but I would honestly rather he know I don't think I'm perfect or unflappable and that he is intelligent and can teach his "old man" a thing or two. While I do own a good deal of tools and equipment having wood working or car restoration as a hobby has never interested me. Over the years my hobbies have been all over the place. My first huge project was to design and equip a home arcade with replicas of some my favorite videgame cabinets from the 80"s and 90's. My kids wife and I started that about 4 years ago. And it took almost two years to renovate and reinforce one of the outbuildings on our ranch. Our next family project was to build a dirt bike/ATV/UTV course that skirts our property fence line. My kids and I got in to airsoft when they were in their early teens as did a lot of their friends from school so with their input and help we built an airlift field out on an unused pasture field. My ranch isn't used for animal or crop production unlike a lot of .neighbors. So it gives me not only the availability but the incentive to always come up with something for us to do as a family with the land I will one day pass on to them.

[@thecowboyfromcali]

@@jericho1-4 Yeah, PC ported console controllers really aren't a thing, but Windows allows full compatibility with any Xbox controllers. And the customizability of the PC allows you to download any software needed for using pretty much any controller on Windows. My friend and I use controllers for games all the time on PC and it doesn't require too much setup at all. Steam has some built in controller support for modern controllers like PS4, PS5, Xbox series X/S, and Xbox 1. Games that are cross-platform, like Call of Duty, or Rocket League, also usually have native controller support built into the game already. You can also buy custom controllers or download software for older controllers that use USB, like if you had a Gamecube controller or if you favored PS2 or something older, you can get some custom designed controllers for PC. Also since you like arcade games and stuff, I assume you are a huge fan of older games as well as game systems. PC allows you to get "ROMS" and "Emulators" to download and play pretty much any old game you could think of. One of my childhood games was Burnout 3: Takedown, so I just downloaded it off a website and now i can play it on PC in 2023. It's a little complex to setup for someone who isn't super knowledgeable on PC's, but there's video tutorials for just about anything nowadays so it shouldn't be hard to find. I also have a Guitar Hero guitar from my childhood that was just sitting in a closet, so I downloaded this game called Clone Hero for free, and now I can play all the old Rock Band/ Guitar Hero games and songs for free as well. It's cool to hear that you have a ranch that's basically a fun-playground for your kids and their friends. I had a little land growing up and Airsoft, Dirt bikes/ATV's, Paintball, and all those fun outdoor activities kept me active and healthy. I'm on about 46 acres of ranch out in the middle of Texas now, with some cattle and chickens who keep me active now that I'm older. But I find myself lost for what to do with the spare space, as the actual pastures take up only about 10 acres. Was thinking of putting some small rentals on the lower area where it's away from the main house, for some passive income. But I'm at a loss as to what the spare land should be used for.

I’ve been able to run all of my games including squad and Arma maxed out and staying above 90 in heavy games like those two and above 120 in the rest, no issues and the temps never reach 70, usually staying high 50’s or low 60’s. 7700x was the way to go for $300 that included Jedi Survivor.

[@daniwalmsley611]

Hey drew three areas you should consider upgrading. The virpil cm3 base can be configured to not return to centre, this is great for flying helicopters so the stick isn't fighting you all the time Virpil also makes collectives now, so you can have a much more realistic throttle and blade pitch control they even have a replica blackhawk stick for it Finally alternative grips for your main hotas setup, the thrustmaster warthog, f16 and fa 18 grips are all compatible with your virpil base (and the cm3) and virpil also makes a replica tomcat grip, (they also sell replacement parts so you can fix your current grip, and they do have a 2 year warranty with the option of either sending it back or they send you the replacement parts to fix it yourself with their help) Obviously non of these are necessary but they might really improve your setup

[@octomusdong]

Drewski this will be an off topic comment however, I don't know if you have heard of these VR games but if you have not you need to try them out. I have two games that you can play either on PCVR or Quest 2. The first game is called Tactical Assualt VR. Currently it is $9.99 on the Quest 2 (which is what I play it on) and I think for Steam it is $12.99. Anyway, the game is a CQB oriented VR shooter where you, and your buddies up to I belive 8, can run a mission with a primary obj and a second obj that you can add on which usually is like a hostage rescue. You will choose your loadout from utility (grenads, breach charges, and heals) to a sledgehammer or shotgun on your back for door breaching, and of course you primary and secondary weapons. After this you will than make your way to your obj location dealing with enemy threats that can and will be around every corner. It is an extremely fun game and certainly a challenge for even the most tactical of gamers. The second game is Ghost of Tabor. It's just Tarkov but VR. I mean really that's all it is. BUT, its addictive as hell and a lot of fun with your friends (up to 3 total in a team). Obvisouly there is more to it than that so I suggest you give both games a look at. Tabor is $19.99 on quest 2 but I don't know about steam. I promise you wont regret it! (PS, both games are Alpha/ Betas, so do note that there are bugs and issues but I think if you know this going in you will have a better experience. Espesially in Ghost of Tabor.)

Also depends on where you coming from. For years I played Runescape on this 13" laptop with an i3 and integrated graphics. When I built my first pc on a R5 3600 and RX580 that experience for a few months always blew me away because not only did games run but they looked good. All this talk of 4k and 120fps is just a marker of where these engineers have gotten to. I read online that the process node coming up of 2nm is almost the same size of a strand of DNA which is 1.5nm. That blew my mind. We're at the extreme limits of where silicon is going to get us.

[@BallisticSollution]

@@DixonErHands I agree , there will come a time in the probably not so distant future where Moore's Law will finally be dead. At that point the only way forward will require some insane innovations in fabrication. But I don't think the home computer is ready for quantum computing just yet.

[@DixonErHands]

@@BallisticSollution Engineers are going to have to get REAL creative to get uplifts on silicon performance because we're coming real close to where lithography can't etch much smaller given that quantum issues are going to become an issue pretty soon. 3nm process node is literally 2x as wide as a strand of DNA. Honestly I see no problems humans can't solve. Quantum computing is definitely a long ways off but even in the past year they've made some pretty crazy leaps in the stability of them. Them needing to be cooled down so far and vibrations outside of it causing calculations to get messed up are some pretty huge hurdles yet. I'm just imagining when someone throws a LLM on a quantum computer and ends humanity overnight.

Dude, impressive NVG collection! Those alone must cost more than the PC

[@MistaKman]

love these type of videos need more

Nice setup Drewski, pretty much match it with my 4090 and 7800X3D, "only" got 32GB DDR5 6000, but I think it's enough considering I don't stream. Looking forward to all the content from the new beast! Love your videos mate, all the best from Australia.

Damn this man is living one of my dreams😭 when I picture me having a bad ass gaming set up, this is exactly what I want!

[@JonIceInternational]

Damn, that PC looks beautiful !!!

[@MartWithanM]

Excited for this one

[@deltavee3168]

Bro, please make a project reality video. That game doesn’t deserve to die. It’s got fighter jets, tanks, snipers, and is made by the team went on to make squad! Just saying if you did then your army of blueberries would bring our game back to life.

[@LukeJukeDuke]

bruh im jealous drew asks for a pc to review and he's given a powerful one for free. content creators are so lucky man!

[@dan725]

Your top shelf with those nods cost more than my entire battlestation and my car combined hahaha.

[@BluestBoi]

I have been waiting! Let’s go!

[@antoniodias5646]

Hey drewsky what a cool video! thanks for showing us your setup! One day i'll have one just like that!

The 13th gen Intel CPUs are actually super efficient for its process size in non-synthetic stuff. My 13700k draws 253W in Cinebench but I have literally never seen it spike above 105 watts white gaming in CPU bound titles. They just have the OPTION to throw efficiency out the window to get the last bit of performance, which really only comes up in all-core synthetic work. For reference, my i7-6700k pulled 100-105W in the same titles. This thing is fully 5.5x faster in all-core work and 2x faster per performance core in single-threaded tasks - and uses the same power. I could go weeks without seeing it go above 105W.
