Just did this while looking for a new monitor, after my last one from 2014 croaked, by researching the available options online both off the shelf and by post. Finally decided on a Samsung VA panel based monitor from a local store, specifically the Samsung C24F39, instead of another IPS one like I had before. Part of the reason was when I plugged in my VA panel based Samsung TV from 2012 to act as a temporary monitor, the colour and contrast was just so much better. Also, it has the right size, look, and general feature set I'm looking for, such as backwards compatibility with old retro builds with a VGA analogue input to go with the HDMI input, while also coming with newer features, such as flicker free technology and a curved display, at a really good price. EDIT: Just before pulling the trigger on the Samsung, I just found another replacement monitor that I really like the look of, specifically the BENQ GW2470HL, that's currently available from online retailers. However, it does has two HDMI ports to go with the required VGA port instead of just one HDMI port, positive reviews on Amazon UK, and looks to be a generally higher quality monitor than the low cost Samsung, while still being available at around the same price. True, it doesn't have a curved display, or AMD FreeSync. However, the lack of FreeSync doesn't bother me as I'm an nVidia graphics card user, while the curved display is just an optional extra for me that I can easily do without.

I bought a Herman Miller Embody several years ago. It cost about 1500 €. But in comparison it has a rather special frame, the backrest is simply amazing and it also comes with a full 10 year warranty. I've had to replace both arm rests once (the weakest link of the chair is the plastic locking mechanism for the height adjustment of these, although I propably adjust them more than most). Otherwise it's construction quality is close to perfect, it's very comfortable and it breathes thanks to the floating design. It's a pain to clean though. A very high quality chair, a display of engineering at a price and warranty that a high end product should have. I've also sold and repaired gaming chairs (various brands) and they are, indeed, really, really cheply made. Four typical problems were: bad threads and/or wrong sized screws (both were quite common), a twisted stand (the part with wheels was very often twisted like a propeller), bad welding of the base (the welds were often very shallow and sometimes broke off) and finally bad materials (the base would sometimes just simply crack at random places because of a porous result of bad casting). I've also worked in a foundry as a mechanic so I've seen (and made) some bad welds and casts in my days but nothing got out of the door there in a shape that some of the parts in these chairs seem to be in. Then again, quality control is the first thing to go with cheap stuff. But I viewed it as an investment, maybe for life (if it lasts that long).

Depends on how you treat noise/music and the headphones you buy.

It takes a dedicated listener to appreciate the clarity audiophile headphones deliver. The pair of headphones matter too. Each headphone from reputable brands like Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, or Fostex will sound different and be spec'ed different. If you don't do your research, you'll be dissatisfied that your PC isn't strong enough to run your headphones or the headphones have too much bass or treble for your liking. So before you buy audiophile headphones, actually do some research on the matter so you don't get disappointed by your purchase. Check reputable brands, go to an audio store to try them on, and make a decision.

I hate it when there's not option to turn it off though. I'm not really into having much lighting in my PC case or my peripherals, my keyboard can be backlit when it's dark and that's it. My new GPU though, has a giant "GIGABYTE" logo on it in RGB, which can't be turned off without physically taking out the lights. That annoys me.

[@EMU1]

I just hate being forced to pay extra for the RGB because they do not include the features needed in a vanilla style motherboard. There used to be more vanilla styled performance oriented motherboards that were relatively low on extra features, but provided excellent value. Now, these boards are extremely crippled with much lower VRM quality and you need to go up 3 tiers of additional RGB and features that wont really be used to get anything decent. I dont hate RGB, but there are plenty of users that arent interested in RGB, and want good performance for a good price.

EMU1 yeah I feel you man, the closest I have really been able to get is msi's arsenal series of mobos

I love binge watching your content even if it's not new because of the entertainment value and the knowledge that still holds up today plus these parts are still very relevant in builds. Even though I brought a prebuilt, I added/swapped things. Thank you Jay!

[@BrianDickens4]

Any budget build will most certainly NOT be worth it, if you don't include a power supply.... :)

[@croisaor2308]

Exercise bike is the Patrician’s power supply.

A GAMING RGB VR ready power supply with free new games😀😀.

My first build had a gimmicky PSU because my friend advising me gave me nothing but bad advice. My PSU had blue LEDs for the fans.

[@dfkdiek518]

I bought a 1300w platinum fully modular psu for my first £300 build and So that I never had to purchase another psu for like another 4 builds and I’m now on a £1400 pc and that psu still

Very useful video, esp for new builders. one question follows: Is 150% more gold content in the EVGA z390 dark motherboard, a gimmick or feature? :P

[@owld.b.a.pbrowlornolaowl5218]

Depending on where it's at. Gold plated for all the pins on the PCI, USB, SATA, CPU socket, audio connection etc would prevent corrosion and good for signal. I have seen copper pin get that green coating and ruin a connection. But typically that happens on equipment exposed to the elements. I wonder if gamers Nexus dissected on yet. That channel is great for really in depth evaluation. Jay is great at fun but informative reviews.

[@Morpheus-pt3wq]

@@owld.b.a.pbrowlornolaowl5218 the capacitors on mobo will dry out much sooner than corrosion will kill contacts. Just gimmick and way to excuse its expensiveness.

[@owld.b.a.pbrowlornolaowl5218]

@@Morpheus-pt3wq not in every situation. Solid state caps last a lot longer than the old style of capacitor. (Solid state, aka polymer cap are a feature.) So if you keep a system long enough (not constantly upgrading) that has solid caps than a good plating on connections is desired. Granted I live in a high humidity area so I have had a PCI slot on a HP PC that was used in the garage green out on me. But typically works laptops the USB ports crap out on us. We are constantly plugging and unplug hart/rs-485 modems wearing down the protective coating. Than out in the field. The inside of the ports look good but sometimes the solder joints will be green, once the system is open up. I will adgree you for every day user it's a gimmick. But for "industrial" user it's not. Also audiophile swear by the gold on the equipment. But they will be using a card...

Great Video 👍 I’m new to the computer biulding world and GIMMICKS are a huge barrier for buyers to overcome. What makes it harder is many of the GIMMICK heavy items show up on other content creators videos because of sponsoring. Again Great Job you have my subscription

I just love this person ❤️ 😬😂 so smooth, so knowledgeable. I'm glad i found this channel. I'm person who'll not care to write such comment on any video out there on KZbin. But seriously this person. Hats off to you. Thank you for all your knowledge sharing and learning. I'll be building a PC build by October 2020. This would be my first time, hence I'm trying to gather as much info I can and this person explains it all. Love the way they enjoy making videos. Keep up the good work. You earned a like as well as a subscriber. Thank you once again 😊

Tripple BIOS seems like a gimmick. two is useful if one fails, but that is rare

[@BloodSkinDOTcom]

Have one set up for power saving mode, one set up for stable performance, and one for experimenting with settings. That's the only way I can justify it.

It's a secondary back up like they have in star trek for no apparent reason

Definitely aesthetics plays a part in someone liking RGB or Racing style xyz. When it comes to desks, I feel like whatever fits your gaming area and does it have room for your pc pheripherals is what matters. I use the Ikea Fredde (sp?) desk and I like it. I’ve tried so many chairs it makes me sick, but so many chairs gave me back pain with prolonged sitting. I was on the verge of buying an ergonomic specialized chair until I gave one last ditch effort into the Secretlab chairs (Titan)...I cannot imagine using another chair. I like that it isn’t too “racing” style and that it is comfortable and to me, looks good. Regardless of “my view” on it, Jay is right...put your butt where you want lol.
