780 ti: you can find for $150 or less (same price as a budget card). 4930k: still relatively expensive but can be found at $260 (less than half of what it was new) 32gb ram: fast ram that is >2000mhz at ddr3 can be found used under $100 asus x79: can again be found used for MUCH less than it was new. ssd storage: is cheap now psu: still need to buy a good psu which depends on you
It would be a good to put all the components in the description, so when people will search for parts on TH-cam, they will also find this video that includes a build with the part they've searched. Great job guys! What do you think will be the time it takes until you will need to upgrade some parts? 2-3 years for a new GPU?
Is this a good build? Case: Cardboard box made by your mom CPU: A burnt toast Graphic Card: A pair of a nerd's glasses OS: Potato OS HDD: A folder to store my work Motherboard: My old shoe Cooler: non cause i can't afford Monitor: My 19" retro tv PSU: an old iPhone 4 charger RAM: the movie "ram" ALL FOR: $20 BUCKS
This specific video got me into LTT back in the day, when I was a mere 15 year old dreaming of the day I could build such a cool computer. Honestly this video might be the reason I'm in the computer space at all instead of playing Xbox still. What a world.
Im still play games at 1080p full hd with my pc lol.. i didnt mind at all.. as long im enjoy playing a games.. bcause i dont even had a much free time due to working at all day..
This video has a lot more subtle video editing in it, a lot of it quirky. I'm loving it, and appreciate the work I know went into it. How long did you spend motion tracking? :p It also goes a lot more in-depth than previous videos. A good example is the RAM demonstration, how he explains exactly how to put it in and all. And the explanation for each part, *each and every part*, is very welcome.
This is the first build guide that was fully scripted and shot listed beginning to end before we started production. We also did all B-roll as we went instead of doing the main shot, undoing the work, then taking B-roll of it. It took a lot longer to prepare, but I believe the end result is totally worth it. This is our best build guide yet.
LinusTechTips I absolutely agree. It's the little things, and you guys went microscopic. I love the professionalism mixed with an approachable quirkiness. I'm looking into applying for a job at a retailer soon, just graduated, and making tech videos myself, and I'd like you to know that you're a huge part of "why". I really don't like the sit-on-a-couch and talk-about-the-product-features-you-can-see-on-the-box approach, because, it's an UN-boxing. Take it away from the box and tell us how the damn thing applies in the real world; You do that. Cheers, Linus.
LinusTechTips i'm noob at pc stuff. why you choose nvidia reference card instead of evga or msi or asus? as there an advantage of it?? Btw the editing on this video is so damn EPIC!!!
fahad bin shuwaysh sorry I'm not Linus , but I think he used the reference ones because of the blower style cooling and when those are put in sli they push the warm air outside of the case keeping the tempretures in the case low + the reference cards of gtx 780/780 ti actually overclock better that the reference ones in Linus' expirience
Going back to watch this. It was literally the vid that got me to build my first computer with my mate. Crazy that 10 years later and not many people have gaming PCs that play 4k resolution still.
+DummyUrD If you read the description, its that area between the video and the comment box where you shitpost, there is an entire list of amazon links for prices. linustechtips.com/main/topic/166464-parts-list-for-ultimate-4k-gaming-pc-build-guide/
+DummyUrD I just checked from his link. Now I didn't care enough to really check everything, but it looks like its around $2,500 without the monitor, mouse, or keyboard. I could be off though so if someone wants to correct me go for it.
I remember the first time I watched this video. I got sick of having a basic pc and decided to build my own and this was the first video I watched and what inspired me to start building.
V-Ram Bottleneck you need at last 6 Gigs if Linus used 780's intead of Titan's he made up mistake, sorry no time to watch video. Oh and a 290x's 8 GIGS could go as well.
Don't be. Again, I'm fine without 4k because in all honesty, I don't need it. Besides, I'd rather not spend a shit load of money on a 4k monitor, when I can get two monitors capable of 1080p for under 100 dollars.
Linus I hope you see this! This build is what my pc is based off and I am still running to this day. I was doing it on a budget purchasing parts on ebay. I was in school when this video was released. I started with SLI 780Tis and then went to SLI 980Tis. I am now running an RTX 3090 in here. To this day it still holds up running windows 11 overclocked i7 4930k, the ripjaws ram and I did also swap out the PSU for the V1000 as I ran into the V850 being overwhelmed and shutting down my system when running the 3090. I didn’t expect this but it did. Overall this build is a mint build to this day with modifications made to it over the years. I know I am CPU bottlenecked with the 3090 but we live on. Thank you very much Linus for making this pc for me and allowing my own customisations as times have changed!
pcpartpicker.com/list/gpHRBP you can always configure this build to your liking. And i added good KB/M because you will probbably also play other games.
same thing just replace it with lower performing products?! Why bother building rigs that won't produce good looking gameplay at a reasonable frame rate. Low/Mid tier stuff isn't interesting to most folks regardless of their budget concerns.
I think it would probably be better to use a 1440p monitor with is so you can have decent frame rates and AA. Hardware just isn't up to par for native 4k yet and this rig is around $4000.
A) AA isn't as needed on at higher resolutions. B) AA is overrated. Larger performance impact for minimal quality improvement. Really edges are that important? At best it improves a fraction of a percentage of the overall image.
I would have thought that, nowadays, two GTX 970's are a superior solution due to their comparable performance with the 780ti's, significantly lower power consumption and better price. Not to mention the additional gig of VRAM that they provide. Also, I would probably swap out the processor / motherboard combo with the X99 Deluxe from Asus and the 5820k. RAM would obviously need to be changed to accommodate this (DDR4) and personally I feel safer with an air cooler, so I'd go with a Noctua NH-D14. I'm also personally a big fan of Crucial and their MX100 SSD's, for me, offer better value with 2 512GB variants in RAID 0. Power supply is fine, love the fan choice, and the case is also outstanding. Just my thoughts on the build a few months on... would anyone else make any changes?
A gtx 970 can't even come close to a 780 ti , I think you meant gtx 780. Remember, 780 ti has 2,880 cuda cores, 780 has 2,303 cuda cores, and a 970 has around 1600 but because of the architecture running on maxwell it's about equal to a 780's 2303. But it's not even close to a 780 Ti
Safwat Khan ***** What on earth do you both mean? A 970 is roughly the same performance as a 780ti and even surpasses it when overclocked. Not to mention the extra GB of VRAM, which is absolutely essentially for additional stability when it comes to gaming at 4K. Add to that the superior power efficiency and pricing, and the 780ti is, at this point, irrelevant when it comes to this build as far as I can see. Need evidence of the performance similarities? Here: www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/09/19/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-review/12 Look at other websites for benchmarks and you'll see that this is no fluke. An overclocked 970 can also beat out a 980 stock. Not everyone on the internet is terribly misinformed, you know.
***** Do the numbers not speak for themselves? What argument do you have? I'm not trying to flame war here, I'm just perplexed as to how you cannot see the evidence in front of your very eyes.
Man, hearing Linus talk about six core CPUs as HEDT is kinda funny in 2019. We got AMD to thank for that. Something that hasn't changed is Linus's screwdriver.
riu_c got this video recommended again thanks TH-cam and Linus said on one of his latest videos that the gears inside the screw driver has mechanically broke and is rendered unusable.
It seems I did not blur the text quite enough. Also, I got into the beta by asking EA live support. It's $69.99 (CAD price) for a mod. Fun but not worth it.
Not sure why this one popped up in the recs, but when it said 8 years old, I figured I should give it a watch. Then it started and I had to triple check that it was actually an LTT vid. Gotten so used to the modern openings to videos.

Thanks! EDIT: Thanks for all the help but my mom said we cant afford it..
Haha... You weren't supposed to be able to read that. I had to balance it being too much effort and it still looking good. Anyway, I got into the beta almost a week before my account got accepted via the signup so definitely a success. Game's not worth the asking price though. $35? Absolutely. Anything more and you're just getting gouged for a minor mod.
Hahaha. I loved that little filler. Made me smile so thanks for including it. Hopefully Linus doesn't read this stuff so he doesn't know your filling his videos with random ramblings. I agree with you about hard line though. Has been fun but just not different enough (yet it's still early) to justify buying it straight off the bat!
Personally I think BF4 should have been pushed back several years and that they should have released BF2143 and BC3 first. I'm not a fan of what EA has been doing to the franchise lately =/.
What model motherboard, processor and RAM do you mean? And you are missing a PSU, case and optional custom cooling fan. And check the motherboard compatibility w/ the i5, i dont trust the mobos price either
Thanks Linus! This vid is much needed for alot of people now I know i did. allot of people are not heavy tech inclined, or just learning. I have built five computers thanks to vids like yours. (About all I ever watch.} You explain things very well, Thanks again!
Sahil Dias Yeah, but don't go to a website that looks infested. It's not hard to see if a website will be shitting on your computer. That's not to mention, if you scan your computer regularly, it will detect any viruses that you have downloaded. I personally don't need Norton up my ass every 5 seconds telling me some website is untrusted.

JamesHD1990 That reminds me of the end of my Freshman year when we took some survey thing that told us what kinds of jobs we might get and one of the very broad categories was "Working with things" and one kid thought that was hilarious.
JamesHD1990 i could say stuff, or programs. Mainly rendering, 3d modelling, and games with multicore support. Or baking, or fluid simulation... Or any simulation. Theres a lot of things that do multicore.

Hi i'm going to be building my first Gaming PC soon. And i would like to know what you guys think of what my build is so far! Phanteks Enthoo Primo case Asus maximus VII formula Intel core i7 4790k Four dims of Corsairs dominator platinum 8GB RAM cards 32GB total Two Samsung 840 EVO 500gb SSD's Western digital black 1tb HDD Corsair AX1500i Asus black blue-ray drive Windows 7 ultimate Going to be doing a custom WC loop on this computer too.
I assume your parents will be paying! They will never recover from debt mind! Na I'm kidding, I'm 14 too but my rig was much more budget I personally think that if you get that, it would last for years! I would reccomend the Maximus VI Formula as it's a great board for a great price My SPECS: amd fx-6300 asus m5a78l-m mobo gtx 660 8gb corsair vengeance ram 1tb wd caviar blue hdd coolermaster rc-430 (upgrading to aerocool dead silence) Corsair CX600W psu
Pigoop Would a 860W PSU do the job then? Cause in this video Linus was running SLI with a 750W PSU. And the AX Series doesn't have a 1000W PSU only 1200 or 860.
Liam Hawkes Yeah they are going to gift me this PC haha. Also i think i'm going to wait until the Asus Maximus VII Formula, cause those Z97 chip set motherboards are awesome!
The 4930K Linus used is better than the 4770K. For PSU, a 860W PSU should be enough. I personally prefer a R9 295X2 instead of 780 Ti in SLI. But the choice is yours. SSD should be the Samsung EVO, better performance. You could just buy the M.2 1TB one, basically Raid 0 with one SSD. Edit: What's your Motherboard?
I really want a Gaming PC. My PC can run League of Legends and Wizard 101 above minimum. Games like GTA, CoD, Assassins Creed, etc.. are a no go. I'm only 16 and I have no idea (Not an absolute clue) on how to buld a gaming PC. Like wtf is a Ram or Nividia or whatever. should I just buy a Gaming PC rather then build it? Any recommendations? (Something under 500$ that can run GTA V and COD perfectly or at least really good performance) Tired of PS4.
If you want my opinion i say build your own because people that do this go to like a tech collage to learn this stuff, i feel u man i wanna be a pc gamer but i suck at making a pc i'd be the one who would make the pc burst into flames just by touching it, lol
I feel like you're trolling (What is a RAM?) but I'll humor you. If you legitimately don't know what these things are by 16, I won't even bother to try to teach them to you because I highly doubt you'll be able to understand any useful terminology. So, no, building is probably not for you. It would take you at least 3-5 months of consistent study to build up from the very basics to following the pop culture of the tech industry. However, that doesn't mean you have to necessarily buy one pre-built. I would suggest extending your connections and trying to find someone who does build computers and has their finger on the pulse of the industry. You can often get these people to put together systems for you cheaper, and there's usually at least one person capable of this within ~50 mi of your home, so you don't need to worry about having it damaged via mail transport. As for your price tag, that's a tall order for a $500 PC. Sure, it will run GTA and CoD, but it certainly won't manage to run them on any extreme graphical settings. Who knows though; your builder might be an excellent deal hunter and you'll be able to get away with running those games on medium high settings at 1080p, which is still better than console. The only problem that you might encounter is peripherals. However, I suspect that you already have access to those, so I don't think that should be a problem for you. Well, that's all I really feel like saying. I'm heading off to sleep, and I hope my advice helps. Cheers.
Honestly I don't know anything about Computers. I'm a sophomore and they don't teach us (or I don't have a class) technology. I got one from Best Buy so I decided I'll try these games out but it turns out my PC can BARELY handle little games.
Chingus, I really need some more advice. If you could please do me a favor and recommend any pre-built PC's with specs that can run games at least 1080p 60FPS or even higher? Would really appreciate it. And if it that doesn't work, can you list some things I need for a good PC that I can order and call someone to build it or add it or something? Thanks so much.

Going to sell all my consoles and use all of my Christmas money
lol pretty much
dude i made a list of desktop parts for next year
Any other poor fellows here who can't afford this 'Alien-technology-gaming' rig shit and just here for the knowledge and how cool it looks?
just looking at how to build rigs
this "alien-technology" used here is now cheap as fuck, you can buy everything shown for dirt cheap pricing now
superclaw900 How much according to you?
780 ti: you can find for $150 or less (same price as a budget card).
4930k: still relatively expensive but can be found at $260 (less than half of what it was new)
32gb ram: fast ram that is >2000mhz at ddr3 can be found used under $100
asus x79: can again be found used for MUCH less than it was new.
ssd storage: is cheap now
psu: still need to buy a good psu which depends on you
I'm just here to look at my "future" setup. 2020 (or later). Here I come.
I was recommended this in 2019 and just figured out that it was from 2014

Got recommended this in 2021😂
2022 😆
Anyone else wanna see a remake of this video
That looks absolutely amazing, nice editing too. :) Thanks for this very informative video. The best.
yeah and im glad this 4k build only costs $4000
elitehero34 $4000 is something I......... nevermind
linus it is :D
Funny how i run into Lo's comments on pretty much all of the youtube videos i watch....small world indeed ^_^
you come a long way now with ur rig @lorelynf

SuperAwesomeMan That build will get you plenty of bitches my friend.
Dream, it will certainly out beat any present day computer surely.
SuperAwesomeMan By far. I gotta step my game up
ThaDreamMerchant Obviously, I mean this can run 10k resolution games at 60fps

Can this run minecraft at tiny render distance on a super flat world looking up at the sky with no background programs?
Hmm I think you'd only get 2fps
I agree
If you use razer game booster you might get extra 3 fps.
Possibly
I think the power supply wont be able to handle it and explode.

LinusTechTips i'm noob at pc stuff. why you choose nvidia reference card instead of evga or msi or asus?
as there an advantage of it??
Btw the editing on this video is so damn EPIC!!!
fahad bin shuwaysh sorry I'm not Linus , but I think he used the reference ones because of the blower style cooling and when those are put in sli they push the warm air outside of the case keeping the tempretures in the case low + the reference cards of gtx 780/780 ti actually overclock better that the reference ones in Linus' expirience
i see
how about if i buy 2 gtx 780ti one is evga with acx cooling and the 2nd one is the reference card. is this a good idea?
this was just 2 years ago... 780ti was the flagship... then the 980ti and already the 1080 came out jeez!
and then there's me who's saving up for a pc which I'm planning to build in may/June 2017 with a gtx 750ti
goonber Lmao get a GTX 1060 or a GTX 1050
Hah yeah and you can get the same frames @4k with a single 1070 OC'd that gets powerd by a single 8pin. Kinda funny
im going to get a 1050 ti. any reason as to why the 1050 ti is so cheap?? gtx 750 ti costs £125 and gtx 1050ti costs £144.99
i cant spend too much on my pc because its my first build and i need to buy some monitors and a desk and chair and everything yet
Going back to watch this. It was literally the vid that got me to build my first computer with my mate. Crazy that 10 years later and not many people have gaming PCs that play 4k resolution still.
the pricepoint would be nice in these vids
+DummyUrD If you read the description, its that area between the video and the comment box where you shitpost, there is an entire list of amazon links for prices.
linustechtips.com/main/topic/166464-parts-list-for-ultimate-4k-gaming-pc-build-guide/
True
+Alexander Olener but it is an older build so it is probably better pricing now
+DummyUrD I just checked from his link. Now I didn't care enough to really check everything, but it looks like its around $2,500 without the monitor, mouse, or keyboard. I could be off though so if someone wants to correct me go for it.
Yes I did some checking myself, depending on your location it is in that ballpark
Can it run club penguin at 10 fps ?
nope, its too weak
DKC - US2, Geometry Dash well then that was a wraste of money :(
+Danne Palle waste*
WTF Dude?
Of Course Not.
Yeah sry man but not even this card can play club penguin. Maybe they will make a better card in the future...
Man those sweet zoom blur transitions are awesome! GG Edzel.
Great build guide, I learn something new every time :D
I remember the first time I watched this video. I got sick of having a basic pc and decided to build my own and this was the first video I watched and what inspired me to start building.
wow that's such a cute story
Why not the 295X2?
***** Why would that be a troll?
The 295X2 is cheaper then a 780Ti. And performs better at 4K.
Thats legit, its a better 4K performer and has water cooling.
***** G-sync? PhysX? etc That's a reason I went with my 780.
probably because they had some 780tis lying around or they didn't have access to a r9 295x2
V-Ram Bottleneck you need at last 6 Gigs if Linus used 780's intead of Titan's he made up mistake, sorry no time to watch video. Oh and a 290x's 8 GIGS could go as well.
I searched youtube for "dumb pc rigs" and this was the 3rd suggestion.
Wow
he's actually telling the truth
I got 2nd...
+Stalker- San 2nd
+itube141 haha wow
before you start thinking about it, the cost is about 3 250$.. yeah
Yeah, no thanks. I'm fine without 4K.
I feel sorry for yall. My GPU can do 4K and its a msi 1050ti
Don't be. Again, I'm fine without 4k because in all honesty, I don't need it. Besides, I'd rather not spend a shit load of money on a 4k monitor, when I can get two monitors capable of 1080p for under 100 dollars.
1050ti cant do 4k unless you're fine with low settings at barely playable fps
Game Master 4K 10 fps
Linus I hope you see this! This build is what my pc is based off and I am still running to this day. I was doing it on a budget purchasing parts on ebay. I was in school when this video was released.
I started with SLI 780Tis and then went to SLI 980Tis. I am now running an RTX 3090 in here.
To this day it still holds up running windows 11 overclocked i7 4930k, the ripjaws ram and I did also swap out the PSU for the V1000 as I ran into the V850 being overwhelmed and shutting down my system when running the 3090. I didn’t expect this but it did.
Overall this build is a mint build to this day with modifications made to it over the years. I know I am CPU bottlenecked with the 3090 but we live on.
Thank you very much Linus for making this pc for me and allowing my own customisations as times have changed!
That random filler at the 25 min mark felt like a good easter egg. Thanks for this in depth build guide with superb editing and great visuals.
I have been +1 by Edzel Yago. This is a good day! :)

pcpartpicker.com/list/gpHRBP
you can always configure this build to your liking.
And i added good KB/M because you will probbably also play other games.
+StatTrak Fedora you're commenting everywhere. I just saw your snooty comment on the test bench video.
8:48... how the times have changed!
Linus, the 80's would like their ear rings back.
I wish Linus would focus on budget gaming more. Most of his content seems to focus on high end hardware.
I'd love to see more high end. Budget, imo, is boring. Also I would love to see more water cooling parts like blocks and rads overview.
Because there is much more to talk about in high end range.
Who cares about budget gaming? there's not much too it, just bleh.
same thing just replace it with lower performing products?! Why bother building rigs that won't produce good looking gameplay at a reasonable frame rate. Low/Mid tier stuff isn't interesting to most folks regardless of their budget concerns.
budget gaming is pretty much all the same... 8 gb ram, i5 4670 or fx 6300, r9 270x or gtx 760/750, ssd if you want, hard drive is up to you.
Can I play solitaire with this?
+Al-mujahedeen Salahadeen what are you, nuts!?
Still got my 95" pc
+Al-mujahedeen Salahadeen yes. you can even play minesweeper
+Killuminati Hail mary really? Even at max settings?
Im Zayzier yes. even in 4k
You guys should definitely do a reboot of this episode using the newer hardware that's available or when the Pascal line launches.
What i understand: Plug this there, unscrew this and put that there, plug this thing there, WIRES, WIRES, Perfection.
Awesome now i can run minecraft in 4k 120 fps!
lol
Mine craft is shit.
QTLuv and this is where peanut says. "Yeeerrrruumm"
Benjamin Gahan i jus jk i dont even play minecraft lol
The Joeker minecraft is 4 pus*yes like u
I think it would probably be better to use a 1440p monitor with is so you can have decent frame rates and AA. Hardware just isn't up to par for native 4k yet and this rig is around $4000.
And the cost of the monitor, which is plenty
A) AA isn't as needed on at higher resolutions.
B) AA is overrated. Larger performance impact for minimal quality improvement. Really edges are that important? At best it improves a fraction of a percentage of the overall image.
Pull out one 780ti and you'll still max out games with AA in 1440p.
Alegiance not at 60 fps you won't. Google some benchmarks.
tmar23 you still need AA even at 4k. You can definitely notice the jagged edges, AA is simply a must even if it is only FXAA.
I would have thought that, nowadays, two GTX 970's are a superior solution due to their comparable performance with the 780ti's, significantly lower power consumption and better price. Not to mention the additional gig of VRAM that they provide.
Also, I would probably swap out the processor / motherboard combo with the X99 Deluxe from Asus and the 5820k. RAM would obviously need to be changed to accommodate this (DDR4) and personally I feel safer with an air cooler, so I'd go with a Noctua NH-D14. I'm also personally a big fan of Crucial and their MX100 SSD's, for me, offer better value with 2 512GB variants in RAID 0.
Power supply is fine, love the fan choice, and the case is also outstanding.
Just my thoughts on the build a few months on... would anyone else make any changes?
This is before the 970 and x99 were released.
Personal_Penguin I know, hence why I said that these are my thoughts on the build 'a few months on'.
A gtx 970 can't even come close to a 780 ti , I think you meant gtx 780. Remember, 780 ti has 2,880 cuda cores, 780 has 2,303 cuda cores, and a 970 has around 1600 but because of the architecture running on maxwell it's about equal to a 780's 2303. But it's not even close to a 780 Ti
Safwat Khan ***** What on earth do you both mean? A 970 is roughly the same performance as a 780ti and even surpasses it when overclocked. Not to mention the extra GB of VRAM, which is absolutely essentially for additional stability when it comes to gaming at 4K. Add to that the superior power efficiency and pricing, and the 780ti is, at this point, irrelevant when it comes to this build as far as I can see.
Need evidence of the performance similarities? Here: www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/09/19/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-review/12
Look at other websites for benchmarks and you'll see that this is no fluke. An overclocked 970 can also beat out a 980 stock. Not everyone on the internet is terribly misinformed, you know.
***** Do the numbers not speak for themselves? What argument do you have? I'm not trying to flame war here, I'm just perplexed as to how you cannot see the evidence in front of your very eyes.
"Intels least expensive 6 core cpu" ...dude, that things half a grand!
Exactly
Even at $500 it's still the cheapest intel 6 core
+Silicon But what about the 5820k, that thing retailed at $390 last time I checked. It's got 6 cores, albeit only 28 PCIe lanes
By bad, I didn't do my research, even the 6800K is cheaper than the one in the video at $440
+Silicon It's okay, we all make mistakes :)

But does it run minesweeper?
it can run it at 2 FPS
+DaMonstah that is if your lucky i cant even load it up :/
***** take a joke, you cow
***** OINK
***** OINK?
The kid is so lucky to have Linus as a daddy lol
Imagine if he turns out to be a peasant? lol.
The first LTT video i watched. damn time flew by quickly
But can I run file explorer at around 8FPS?
No you need to a better power source I suggest connecting it to your local nuclear energy power grid
+santiinme. Hahahahahahaha
Even that won't be enough unless you want to open only 1 tab.
i agree with santiinme .But DO NOT try to run minesweeper
NO
Man, hearing Linus talk about six core CPUs as HEDT is kinda funny in 2019. We got AMD to thank for that. Something that hasn't changed is Linus's screwdriver.
riu_c got this video recommended again thanks TH-cam and Linus said on one of his latest videos that the gears inside the screw driver has mechanically broke and is rendered unusable.
@@LouisEarl Oh no... that is very bad news... I've been watching LTT since mid 2013
Here from 2024💀
Omg, I'm loving the text in this video, I don't even know how the person who edited it got this to track the scene
lol edzel talking about the hardline beta in the tiny text in the credits...
It seems I did not blur the text quite enough. Also, I got into the beta by asking EA live support. It's $69.99 (CAD price) for a mod. Fun but not worth it.
You really need to make a build which can run Minecraft cos common is this a joke, Minecraft can't even load on this
Atif Khan minecraft is the reason why so much kids have down syndrome, autism, and are obese.
saiftakrim10101 and we didnt bother your autistic little mind
guys i think just trying to get a reply out people
1/20 chance u got this PC so shut ur fucking mouth a shitty laptop can run minecraft
Adolf Normie because its next to you
Could you make an Ultimate 4K build for 2017?
+Mateo Vasquez yeah with quad SLI please
+Dante hollow 4k effectively rules out SLI, because AMD are better at higher resolutions. You want Crossfire.
+Dante hollow why
+Christ J Dont buy amd now, wait for polaris at the end of summer. Im gonna upgrade my gpu then
+Samuel Kriikkula there's nothing wrong with amd if ur on budget, also upgrade to a 1070/1080
Not sure why this one popped up in the recs, but when it said 8 years old, I figured I should give it a watch.
Then it started and I had to triple check that it was actually an LTT vid. Gotten so used to the modern openings to videos.
Can I put a ssd and a gpu in the same pc?
Naruto1234119 yeah definitely :)
What kind of question is that?
An ssd is a hard drive so it goes into a completely different place to the gpu which is a graphics card
+Alex IsTheKingOfTheWorld maybe he means a pcie ssd
Oh sorry I forgot about that yeah I'm not really used to them
its kl everyone forgets
Am I the only one not interested in 4K until monitors and GPUs can run it at 120Hz+?
Will this run VHS or Beta?
holy crap, this is the first LTT video i ever watched, and now i actually found it again
8:52 yet :)
Wonder if Intel told him not use the R9 295X2 xD.
Or not.
Intel doesn't build graphics cards...if it was sponsored by Nvidia, then it would make sense
True, but amd makes cpu's. They can't let us know.
I don't think it was released at the time of production
I think after their... little fine they might be a bit more careful ;)
Can this handle minesweeper?
No.
minesweeper needs Intel Core i9 8970x @39Ghz ,32 cores,256GB of RAM,Geforce GTX TITAN 9 ULTRA 8 way sli,90TB SSD to run in 0.01 fps.If you want to run in 120fps,get a 128000 node of Xeon E19 (98th Gen) of supercomputer
Eugene Yau But the Titan 10 Ultra Ti just came out, get it instead. It is only $30,000 more then the Titan 9 Ultra non Ti.
thanks
Impossibruu its only 7 billion pc's that can run that game at stable 60 fps the pc is your brain :)
Imaginationnn.........
Was surprised to see the same case I use, it's a fantastic case and I love it. On a sidenote, fantastic videos guys keep it up over there.
buys $50000 computer.......
only to play games at Y8.com
Y8 omg i played there like 10 years ago

Damn dude, you sure didn't put any thought of some of us might be on a budget did you lol...
Damn dude, you sure didn't read the title of the video, huh?
Bryant Woods
Nobody asked you...
+TheDigihax Damn dude, you sure didn't bother to check to see if anyone gives a fuck if anyone asked me or not, huh?
Bryant Woods
Why don't you go ask and find out if your so curious about it...
+TheDigihax ....that's exactly what I just did. You replied to me doing exactly that, Thinkenstein.
Can it run Duck Life 4?
no
no
+Pepperbird no
+Pepperbird if you want your duck walking around in 30 fps, go for it!
+Samuel Gratkowski thanks for the advice. I usually got 2-5 FPS and it runs smoothly.
forever will be my favourite linus video..
what is the point of a 4k pc if your vids are not 4k
+play32 do you know how long a 4k video takes to render and upload
yes i tryd it once
Well yeah there's no point if all you're going to do is watch LinusTechTips, but I doubt many people do that...
play32 1h6m for a 3 minute video
close to a year for a 10 h prob

Do you think it will handle Call of Duty on medium?
Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks for all the help but my mom said we cant afford it..
Might wanna switch to 256 gb of ram just a heads up
"CoD on medium"? Buddy, you're barely gonna get 10 FPS in Minesweeper with that garbage.
you need to spend 2 zillion to play on medium
i think you need to upgrade to a caclulator 2001 model, they are very powerful and affordable
***** Or, you know, just download more RAM...
hey can someone tell me what the fps is on minesweeper with this thing??
Sorry, minesweeper will crash a pc like this. Oh well.
It will Run on 0.1 FPS if you're lucky
TheGoldenEagleEye okay thanks :)
TheGoldenEagleEye im new to these and i want a pc for like the games
Jack Lee What d oyou mean?
This is your best video.
Hands down 10/10 in content .
Oh crap its outdated.
How did it go with the EA Live chat? Did you get into the Hardline Beta?
Haha... You weren't supposed to be able to read that. I had to balance it being too much effort and it still looking good. Anyway, I got into the beta almost a week before my account got accepted via the signup so definitely a success.
Game's not worth the asking price though. $35? Absolutely. Anything more and you're just getting gouged for a minor mod.
Hahaha. I loved that little filler. Made me smile so thanks for including it. Hopefully Linus doesn't read this stuff so he doesn't know your filling his videos with random ramblings.
I agree with you about hard line though. Has been fun but just not different enough (yet it's still early) to justify buying it straight off the bat!
Dan Thomas I read all the comments...
Personally I think BF4 should have been pushed back several years and that they should have released BF2143 and BC3 first. I'm not a fan of what EA has been doing to the franchise lately =/.
Edzel Yago LinusTechTips oh crap we've been rumbled! Go easy on him Linus!
Linus: motherboards are super important
Me: Motherboard is just there to hold my 970 and 6600k
eDGE Catalyst 😂 true fam
thats why its important
im from the future linus 4k monitors get completaly destroyed by 3440/1440 ultrawide monitors
Nick Karsten Hello, future. Tell me how to build the tech of the future so I can sell it and make ezpz $$$
SkillUp Gaming lmfao
Nick Karsten yup
Arguably true actually.
5 years and I'm still watching this. This video has that little something that makes it perfect 👌
I would name mine "console killer"
console killer? more like con-soul killer XD
Console Reaper
No.
Ey, randomfrankp created that name. I think so tho.
Figva RS More like bank account killer. I'll enjoy my console with decent graphics and still be able to do everything else I want in life, thanks.
titan xp should be capable of doing it.
yeah, we have gone a long way in like a year. ow most rigs can handle 4k...well good ones,.
Mine can very well. I have a 1080 now. and might go for a future 1080 ti or how ever it will be called.
i dont have a gaming ig yet, and if i do get one, i can only spend like.. 400 or less on it.
In that case wait until you can afford some thing for 600-700$
that'd take months m8.
Can this run well?
Intel core i5 - £163.42
Gtx 970 - £294.32
G.skill ripjaws X 8GB - £50
Asus motherboard - £34.08
WD 1TB 3.5 inch int. hard drive - £39.12
Samsung 850 evo- £55
Altogether- £673.51
I'm probably missing something xD
What model motherboard, processor and RAM do you mean? And you are missing a PSU, case and optional custom cooling fan. And check the motherboard compatibility w/ the i5, i dont trust the mobos price either
Yeah I know, I've built one now for £1.4k :)
Get 16gb of ram
+laxmitty21 read my last comment haha, I now how 32gb of ram
+Eclipse could i see your build? I'm about to get a £1250 build and and I want to compare :)
Thanks Linus! This vid is much needed for alot of people now I know i did. allot of people are not heavy tech inclined, or just learning. I have built five computers thanks to vids like yours. (About all I ever watch.} You explain things very well, Thanks again!
Does it run minecraft doe?
please tell me you're joking.
Same questionXD

Bought a 2100$ PC, but can't buy even antivirus.. :D
👍🏻
+Sahil Dias you don't need antivirus just don't click wwww...Getavirushere.com
Windows comes with Windows Defender. Better than any antivirus program out there.
Atomic Mass but no internet security so...
Sahil Dias
Yeah, but don't go to a website that looks infested. It's not hard to see if a website will be shitting on your computer. That's not to mention, if you scan your computer regularly, it will detect any viruses that you have downloaded. I personally don't need Norton up my ass every 5 seconds telling me some website is untrusted.
now i just need the money
Wow, This was a great video. Thank you very much!!
Can I run Control Panel with a steady 20 fps?
The video should've posted in 4k.
4k cameras cost how much? see for your self

cobiegaming they have a few 4k cameras actually
cobiegaming
Their camera costs more than that one. I think it's an FS700 iirc.
They could, they have the cameras that record 4k but they scale it down, 4k is just a number( and a letter )
Waltzer Bardals Just like penis size
Can I play bigs rigs over the road racing on that?
Adam Dang You need 2 1080's in sli instead of the 780Ti's he used to get above 15 fps
Super cool video, thank you so much!
Did anyone notice the broken light on the Caps lock key? Or is it just me? 20:40
CrucifiX I believe it's just unlit as of preference I guess. If you look, most of the F keys aren't lit either
Usuaully it will only light up, when active.
more than just that key. there is F2 F3 F4, F6 F7 F8 and Scroll Lock
Nope it is off that is it like he didn't press the caps button
Why do you need to replace case coolers?
You don't have to. But he got better silent fans.
YOu still need fans
To waste money
Its 2017 and I still think 144Hz on 1440p is better than 4k.
Bevan Jonsson it’s 2019 and that’s still the case
2024 and 4k is maybe starting to make sense?
Honestly it's in the same spot as before 😂
@@hellowill can you now regularly get 120+ fps on 4k with a single gpu on max settings?
THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING TIPS!!!
I think R9 290Xs would be more apropriate than 780 Tis for 4K gaming.
The R9 295X2 is probably ideal.
I agree , not enough VRAM on a 780Ti , probably not enough VRAM on a R9 290X but the extra gig will really help .
***** It's not only the VRAM, I also see in becnhmarks that R9 290X performs better in 4K than a 780 Ti in 4K cause of more memory bandwith and ROPs.
I thought AMD fixed that issue, no not because of that since even a single R9 290X performs better in 4K than a 780 Ti.
who would have thought that AMD would have an 6c12t cpu for less the $200usd
LMAOOO THE VOICE CRACK AT 2:07
Superb!! Excellent video editing ,Anyway what is the video editing software which you have used??
can i play super mario on this?
😝😝😝
Yes you can
no you need 120 fps lol
+Parth Sharma doubt it...
r u fr xD
u should have used the r9290x2
It is an intel sponsored build, not AMD.
It's r9 295x2
Did you even listen to the video?
spend 1000$ on and amd card
then
still have physx off in every game
so if intel sponsors it use the titan z
Is this still good for 8k gaming in 2019?
This build will never run 8k, nothing now can really run 8k
no defo not
Beautiful build!
What about
D1800M motherboard
2 gb of ram
Integrated processor and graphics
Can I run GTA 6 at 60 fps?
good luck with that
+-CLM15- Try it

"ultimate build"
"sponsored by intel"
definitely no bias here, guys. nope.
AMD has good processors, but you can't deny that Intel has a slight lead on AMD.
Amd has good overclocking and cores so you can have the advantage for 3d rendering and multicore things.
pingo6able "multicore things". Did you major in Thing Science?
JamesHD1990 That reminds me of the end of my Freshman year when we took some survey thing that told us what kinds of jobs we might get and one of the very broad categories was "Working with things" and one kid thought that was hilarious.
JamesHD1990 i could say stuff, or programs. Mainly rendering, 3d modelling, and games with multicore support. Or baking, or fluid simulation... Or any simulation. Theres a lot of things that do multicore.
you doing great job man... i like it... very good...
If you are watching this in 2016 please for gods sake don't get two 780ti's just get one 1080

Linus you should refer to this video one day, it will make a nice throw back
Hi i'm going to be building my first Gaming PC soon. And i would like to know what you guys think of what my build is so far!
Phanteks Enthoo Primo case
Asus maximus VII formula
Intel core i7 4790k
Four dims of Corsairs dominator platinum 8GB RAM cards 32GB total
Two Samsung 840 EVO 500gb SSD's
Western digital black 1tb HDD
Corsair AX1500i
Asus black blue-ray drive
Windows 7 ultimate
Going to be doing a custom WC loop on this computer too.
I assume your parents will be paying! They will never recover from debt mind!
Na I'm kidding, I'm 14 too but my rig was much more budget
I personally think that if you get that, it would last for years!
I would reccomend the Maximus VI Formula as it's a great board for a great price
My SPECS:
amd fx-6300
asus m5a78l-m mobo
gtx 660
8gb corsair vengeance ram
1tb wd caviar blue hdd
coolermaster rc-430 (upgrading to aerocool dead silence)
Corsair CX600W psu
You won't be needing a 1500W PSU. 1000W should be PLENTY. I run SLI gtx 780s on a 750W PSU with no problems :)
Pigoop Would a 860W PSU do the job then? Cause in this video Linus was running SLI with a 750W PSU. And the AX Series doesn't have a 1000W PSU only 1200 or 860.
Liam Hawkes Yeah they are going to gift me this PC haha. Also i think i'm going to wait until the Asus Maximus VII Formula, cause those Z97 chip set motherboards are awesome!
The 4930K Linus used is better than the 4770K.
For PSU, a 860W PSU should be enough.
I personally prefer a R9 295X2 instead of 780 Ti in SLI. But the choice is yours.
SSD should be the Samsung EVO, better performance. You could just buy the M.2 1TB one, basically Raid 0 with one SSD.
Edit: What's your Motherboard?
I really want a Gaming PC. My PC can run League of Legends and Wizard 101 above minimum. Games like GTA, CoD, Assassins Creed, etc.. are a no go. I'm only 16 and I have no idea (Not an absolute clue) on how to buld a gaming PC. Like wtf is a Ram or Nividia or whatever. should I just buy a Gaming PC rather then build it? Any recommendations? (Something under 500$ that can run GTA V and COD perfectly or at least really good performance) Tired of PS4.
If you want my opinion i say build your own because people that do this go to like a tech collage to learn this stuff, i feel u man i wanna be a pc gamer but i suck at making a pc i'd be the one who would make the pc burst into flames just by touching it, lol
I feel like you're trolling (What is a RAM?) but I'll humor you. If you legitimately don't know what these things are by 16, I won't even bother to try to teach them to you because I highly doubt you'll be able to understand any useful terminology.
So, no, building is probably not for you. It would take you at least 3-5 months of consistent study to build up from the very basics to following the pop culture of the tech industry. However, that doesn't mean you have to necessarily buy one pre-built. I would suggest extending your connections and trying to find someone who does build computers and has their finger on the pulse of the industry. You can often get these people to put together systems for you cheaper, and there's usually at least one person capable of this within ~50 mi of your home, so you don't need to worry about having it damaged via mail transport.
As for your price tag, that's a tall order for a $500 PC. Sure, it will run GTA and CoD, but it certainly won't manage to run them on any extreme graphical settings. Who knows though; your builder might be an excellent deal hunter and you'll be able to get away with running those games on medium high settings at 1080p, which is still better than console.
The only problem that you might encounter is peripherals. However, I suspect that you already have access to those, so I don't think that should be a problem for you.
Well, that's all I really feel like saying. I'm heading off to sleep, and I hope my advice helps. Cheers.
Honestly I don't know anything about Computers. I'm a sophomore and they don't teach us (or I don't have a class) technology. I got one from Best Buy so I decided I'll try these games out but it turns out my PC can BARELY handle little games.
Inder Indo Google is your friend.
Chingus, I really need some more advice. If you could please do me a favor and recommend any pre-built PC's with specs that can run games at least 1080p 60FPS or even higher? Would really appreciate it. And if it that doesn't work, can you list some things I need for a good PC that I can order and call someone to build it or add it or something? Thanks so much.
Hey, my PC can run 4k... Too bad I don't have a 4k display ;-;
#firstworldproblems
+Andy The MLG Pro No, a lot of people can't run 4k in third world countries either
+Daniel Harrison I've rigged mine up to my bedroom tv for 4K 😂 il be getting a proper monitor next payday

Use DSR
I like these useful guides
