I LOVE this style of content! It would be AWESOME if you guys could go head to head on the 2nd hand market with like a $500 budget and see who can build the better gaming rig. (Fb marketplace, CL, etc...)
@zacksnetwork5652 Meh wanted faster ram than AMD supports. I'm running 7200 CL32. Also 13900k generally beats 7950x in gaming performance albeit not as efficiently. I live In a state that electricity is only 9 cents per kw so that didn't really matter
@@ZackSNetwork I agree, I have the 7900x3d and 7900XT. I wanted these in particular for their power consumption, as they both run a step below in terms of wattage for what AMD offers. I suspect I won't have to upgrade again for quite some time, probably will upgrade at the end of the AM5 cycle when they release their last iteration for GPU and CPU, but I might not even upgrade the CPU again for quite some time until they get some really efficient chips out. Though it seems we are etching closer and closer to laptop wattages, which is great, but I would really like a laptop that we could have a mobo interchange in.
I have the CK560 for my case but it's the black version, and now seeing the white, I'm glad I have the black because idk why they didn't make the inside of it white also lol.
Like the mix-up of different content in this video. Would love to see super budget, best bang for buck builds getting used parts off eBay - like most of us cheapskates.
I personally built a 2060 i7 4770k pc and it performs great and looks good. It runs almost everything I throw at it. However the only reason why I went with this type of setup is the deals I got on the parts. I built my entire pc for under 300$. So for anyone looking for a pc always look around for deals
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.
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.
@@TheBlueBunnyKen 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.
I think you Both Killed it Matt got Intel Cpu with Rx 6750 xt all White very Clean and 1440p.monitor 💪🏼💥and Jackson got the Amd Cpu with the Rtx 3070 ti with Black Pc with 2 curved Monitor's Both are Pimp But i would have to go with Matt's 💪🏼💥
Anytime I watch yall or Austin Evans walk around a micro center, I start looking to see how close one is to me, and then start planning on moving to the nearest store in TX.
For that 3070Ti, if you have a couple of dollars more, go for a b550. Because that B450 only supports PCIE Gen 3, so you aren't getting the max performance of the GPU.
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.
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.
I built my first gaming pc in December 2022. I spent 1000 bucks and it runs amazing and plays everything I throw at it. Thanks to MW2 for being such a pisspoor game it inspired me to get into pc gaming and sim racing with VR
I wish they would build a Microcenter in North Charleston or Summerville South Carolina. The closest one to me now is over 5 hours away if I take the more dangerous curvy back roads and really, really speed hard ( doing so would greatly increase chance of never getting there, so dangerous in "deer country" ).
The budget could’ve been used a lot better focusing choices around aesthetics at a “budget” build is not worth it imo there is no need for an aio that budget could have gone to a better power supply for future proofing or more storage
The white setup is cool but I love the other setup with the dual monitors and squeezed in a 3070ti nice I have the same build just in a dynamic evo case and a strix 3070ti I painted white
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.
I just got a MSI pre built i7 12th gen 3080 liquid cooled 16g ddr4 1tb SSD windows 10 installed keyboard and mouse including after taxes and shipping 1450 and got monitor 31.5 Acer 1440 on sale was 220 after taxes and shipping PC was refurbished so keep eye on refurbished daily cuz they only put one up on deal once in a while but worth the wait
I'm using the same exact headset as matt, great headset the mic is pretty good plus matt's white theme looks sick. Great videos guys love your content👍🔥
Nice vid but bad choice on the ddr4 board on you could've gone with a r5 or r7 5000 series which would worked just as good with your gpu choice and you went with ddr4 anyway
RIP to our Microcenter who left their location in the heart of Silicon Valley at the Santa Clara location many years ago. Wish we still had one nearby. :(
i think for more demanding games like warzone or red dead matts PC might be there but for a all around gaming setup with a high performance PC dual Monitors and being able to Multi task Jacks is better but both Setups are Great imo id go for Jacks
I think back in 2020 i watched your videos and many other on how to build pc's. My kids would die if they were giving a shopping spree at micro center. I have a 8 year old daughter almost 9 in 3 weeks and a 10 yeal old son gonna be 11 in august that is really getting into gaming and i built them both pc's back in 2020 for light gaming and for school when covid hit and shut schools down. Right now both pc's are amd athlon 3000g, Gigabyte b450m ds3h v2 motherboard and 16gb ram, no gpu. I got what i could afford at the time. And right now they are running slow cause they are really getting into gaming and both would like to start streaming at some point. But i told them maybe in a few years. Would really love to build them new pc's but money is tight now and everything is just too expensive. I love watching yalls videos and just subbed i thought i subbed couple years ago.
I wish I had that budget... if somebody was to build my setup it would cost under $1,000 new according to pc part picker. That is PC, Monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers and headset
both are good for what someone is going for. 2 monitor setup for a streamer, 1 monitor for someone who just wants to game. Matt had the employee of micro center do all the work... big brain
You guys are out of Louisville, right? If it took you two hours to get there, you must have went to the Sharonville, OH location! I live in Northern KY lol Microcenter is about 45 minutes or so away from me. I was just there too, too bad I didn’t see you guys!
Jack was a legend. Giving Matt all the best deals and that guy knows his stuff. Brilliant 👏🏼

12600k and 6750Xt is a beast of a combo. Currently running it myself. And i have a feeling it will out perform the other setup.
I'm a slight step below that, 12400 and 6700xt, I love my setup

we need more of these videos like this. one a month would be cool. great video tho
I like the black setup myself. I would also to be interested to see you swap video cards and re benchmark and compare.
I NEED a micro center in northern California. These prices are nuts on some items!
Surprised Jackson didn’t go with the montech air 100. Great case and comes with fans
I Will go With Matt Setup was a little Hard to decide at first But Matt 100 Percent.Keep up the good work

Open box Microcenter is the GOAT. Matt's build looks great too.
Wish hand a gaming setup, Keep up the great work, y'all are my favorite youtubers
I always love Jackson's metal band apparel. The MoP hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥🤘.
water cooled and dual monitor that's a pretty damn good use of money
Agreed, that one wins for the budget
Only downside about water cooling is that it eventually fails :(

I live in Indy, so hyped to hear that we're finally getting a Micro Center!
I live in MS, pretty safe to say hell will freeze over before one opens here.
First time I’m hearing this! I’m hype.
Edit: commented before it came up in the video lol
Love the White PC. I want to build a White AM4 setup and this was Exactly what I would choose .
I like the all black build from Jack, but really like the performance of Matt's build.
UGH WE NEEDA MICRO CENTER IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA LIKE YESTERDAY PLEASE.
Love Microcenter. Hopefully they sponsor more videos like this.
Totally awesome going with the bundle and open box options and of course micro center is helping out.
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.
Got the XFX 7900XTX myself absolutely love that GPU. Had the RedDevil 6950XT before that and nothing but praise for that as well

Best deal ived had a my local micro center was a open-box EVGA 2070super for $250
My Gf is currently enjoying it as ive upgraded to 6800xt
OMG so fun to watch this video!
Plz do more of this videos!
How? Im from sweden 😂

you should guys do these more often!! these type of vids are cool also I like matt's setup because of the white theme.

Great video guys!! I’m trying to build my 1st pc and this helped me alot! I live in Michigan and Micro Center is jus an hr away
my closes MC is 6 hrs away but everytime i take a trip to disneyland in socal, MC is a must stop

i love the way the white one looks

Microcenter please come to Tampa, Riverview or Orlando!
Got my 13600k at Microcenter for $250. It's nice to have one not too far away. They seem to really be going all in on YT promotion these days

Seems like everyone is saying this isn't a budget pc. So let's see a real budget pc build, lol. $800 or less!
1tb SSD still seems to be pretty standard, even in budget builds. 2tb not too far behind

1500 $ isn't budget. It's a lot of money. And in Europe with that money in euros you will have a much less powerful system.
A budget is how much they can spend budget isn’t cheap…
It is a budget in the way they used it. It's not how they usually use budget (like their pcs made on the cheap).
$1500 IS THEIR BUDGET. THATS A BUDGET.... where is your logic?
In todays society. 1500 for a whole setup is actually budget if you go new...
@@Fl1ckz_TV you clearly dont know what a budget is, a budget is a financial plan it doesn't have to be cheap , 1500 is their budget
been waiting on this video since the teaser.

Matt had the employee of micro center do all the work... big brain
Looks like your settings were different for the Cyberpunk benchmark. Any reason for that?
i think i prefer jacksons setup a bit more because the dual monitors feel a bit more useful and I enjoy the sleek black design
i had to complete my homework before i could watch this and it was worth every second of the wait
here in canerda we have no microcenters we just have memory express (witch is a good store!)
Quick question does the b450 motherboard you got comes with ryzen 5000 ready or not?
No
