Him: i normally get around 80-100 frames on COD:cold war. Me: that seems a little low, my god he got ripped off. Him: i should say that I've been running this on 1440p Me:OHHHH
@Ismael Hosking Isla it is, on 1440p. If you payed around 2k for a new computer and it’s getting 80-100 in 1080p then it’s bad. Of course, it depends on the game you’re playing, your settings, and how the game is optimized.
@Ismael Hosking Isla 80-100fps is good. He's probably one of those who complain about not getting more than 144+fps on a 144hz monitor, regardless, getting well above 60 fps is fantastic for most users.
60 hz is okay not bad if it doesn’t dip. 80 is just fine. The only time you can really see a performance dip is when the fps starts to fluctuate. I used to have 240 but now workin with a 1440 165hz and I can’t see a difference from my 240hz monitor.
Hes probably also running max graphics settings or never changed them, as he seems like the type of guy who is clueless with specs and things like that, and is obviously a very casual gamer, he had trouble adjusting the rgb lights for goodness sake. So in reality if you went and overclocked the parts, and played on meduim or low settings, you would be getting like 2 times the performance he showed in the video.
I just got mine this week. I have no regrets. Easy setup and well built. It's clean and beautiful. For my PC, they connected the cooler RGB to the fan controller so you don't have to use a separate program to control the LEDs.
@@jbacmafi mine actually shipped yesterday and will take about a week. And I chose the highest build they had and I think I just left it with whatever they put on. I would’ve upgraded the gpu from a 3070 to 3080 but they were sold out.
I am gonna watch this guy more because he is not like those reviews who say one good thing and then find something to go crazy on plus I am glad to have someone who didn’t just get sponsors to tell me this pc is great and lies so thank you so much
Do you do any 3D rendering with it by any chance? I want to buy a pc in the future for both gaming and rendering some animations. Do you think a 3070 or 3080 would do the job?
I’ve had pc’s all my life. (I’m 25 currently) My first one lasted me 7 years. My second one lasted me 5 years. My third/current one I’ve had since January 2019 and still going strong. (All of them) just clean the dust and they’ll keep going 😜
FINALLY!!!! A PC review that's easy to understand for people that don't know much about them. I'm primarily a console gamer, so when people talk about their specs, I don't even know where to look or what to think! People talk about their intel 500 C-3PO's or whatever and I feel hopelessly lost. Someday I might build my own PC, but I'd rather go prebuilt as a start. So, thanks for keeping it grounded and comprehensible for somebody who doesn't really know what to look for. It's especially difficult thanks to all the negativity you mentioned. It's like no matter what kind of hardware I get, someone's always gonna say "wow, that's trash. you're trash." TL:DR Thanks for keeping it simple and honest. I think I know where I'm gonna get my gaming PC from thanks in part to your review :)
That's unfortunate that you feel/felt that way. PC's as a hobby were a relatively niche thing up until probably 2017 or 2018, where more celebrities began getting gaming rigs. It especially blew up in 2020, where during the pandemic where a lot of people, due to being stuck in the house, started looking at gaming PCs to pass the time. As with a lot of niche interests, especially ones that incorporate technical knowledge, there are a lot of gatekeepers and know-it-alls within the community. They see all of these new people entering the hobby, and feel like they need to flex their knowledge, or belittle them with it. I don't know if you are unsure about getting into PCs as a hobby, or if you were ever interested at all in it, but it can really be a very interesting and engaging hobby to take up. I'd recommend looking at Linus Tech Tips if you're ever curious about PCs as more than just something to play PC games. He usually explains complex concepts and parts in a digestible manner for newer people, but does also dive deeper to keep the interest of more seasoned PC enthusiasts. As an aside, things like CPUs or graphics cards follow a similar naming system. The first one or two numbers in the sequence being the generation, or series of the part, and the following numbers being where it ranks in the series. Sort of like the make, model, and trim of a car. Generally, the higher the subsequent numbers, the more powerful the part. (For example, an RTX 3080 is more powerful than an RTX 3070. 30 being the series, 80/70 being the card model) I know your comment is a couple months old, so you may very well know this by now, but I thought I'd try at clearing it up for you. But really PCs and PC building as a hobby is quite rewarding, and can offer you a wealth of experience in other topics depending on how deep you get into it.
I have always built my own PC but this just isnt feasible right now with parts shortages so I pulled the trigger on a build from Build Redux. For $75 for the build and warranty you cannot beat it. The cost of individual parts are all at or below MSRP (GPU I bought with system is a RTX 3080ti and is about $100 above MSRP but good luck paying even that for one) so to me it was a no brainer. EDIT for anyone interested in current wait time: I ordered mine on November 19, 2021 and PC is on its way and scheduled to be here on December 9, 2021 to give anyone an idea of wait time currently.
14:19 MY EYES!!! Also, very nice video, just ordered my PC even though my 3070 ti was $300 extra. I don’t really care about that because I probably wouldn’t have been able to find it anywhere else and it only cost $2.6k including tax with literally everything else decked out (Ryzen 5800x, 32GB RAM, 1TB M.2, 2TB HDD). Can’t wait for the PC to arrive
Hey my good man. One advice, flip that radiator in the front so the hoses are at the bottom not the top. Check out Gamers Nexus on this. Solid advice. Got mine ordered last week! Got sick of waiting for a RTX 3080.
i would like to confirm, your videos convinced me to pull the trigger. i built my pc back in late 2016. and it was time for a new rig. looking at prices of GPUs. and living in a rural area. i cant just go stand inline some where and hope to get a card at retail. looking forward to having a 3080ti!!! best card i have ever had in any of my pcs.
The only thing I can see would be an issue is the mounting of the cpu radiator. If there is room hoses on the bottom or mount it to the roof of the case. Other than that seems pretty nice.
I'm thinking of getting a build redux PC for a starter, I'll upgrade it when i get enough money, but right now i only have enough money to buy a redux PC, if certain parts are not too good, I'll try to upgrade that certain part. when i earn enough money. 😅 The video was also so nice and honest 👍
Glad you found it useful! I think the build redux is a decent deal for a good PC, and yeah you can upgrade it later but it will be fine for most purposes as it comes.
Just ordered one as well, I got an AMD processor though. I am planning to put in the Ryzen 7 5800x that has been collecting dust on my shelf for 2 months. I have always built my own PC but with GPU shortages this was the only way I could get a 3070 at a reasonable price.
@@jonathantaylor2584 Yes, I got it on monday, looks great. I swapped the CPU and flipped the water reservoir so that the tubes come from the bottom instead of the top. Everything looks great. The 3070 ended up being a reference card but I am cool with that.
@@shadow_strike9623 The thing is I got express shipping and I ordered March 31st I am still waiting. I am very jealous and curious of these guys who say they got theirs in 10 days or so.
@@shadow_strike9623 normal shipping. I’m assuming mine went by fast because they had a 3060 TI laying around. My coworker ordered his pc back in Dec and got it in Feb and he said his was delayed due to the GPU and his was a 3070.
@@86drive86 by surprise it arrived yesterday. So my Friday was exciting. Brilliant piece of tech here I gotta say. Major improvement to my last PC. And even tho it’s only been a day, I can confidently say it was worth every penny.
I am thinking about building a PC and I wanna custom build it. But don’t wanna build it, because I am worried I will break it! And this is super helpful!!!
4-5 weeks is how long it's taking for my PC. Mine will be here today and I ordered June 22nd and it's delivered July 22nd. Prices have sky rocketed ! The only better build for price is vrla but be prepared to wait 8-9 weeks w vrla so I chose redux will do review later
@@imxe I'm not really a gamer but I trade and learning how to stream , that being said works like a dream. Only thing is they have the pump hoses on top instead of bottom Knuckleheads!
I ordered mine on March 3rd and it got shipped exactly 5 weeks later on April 7th. FedEx shows that my pc will be delivered on Friday so I cannot wait! The wait has been torture but i don’t regret it at all knowing that I’m getting a 3070 at basically MSRP :)
looking into getting basically the same pc. the one i was looking at has 16gb (only because i can upgrade it with 2 more 8gb sticks for cheaper than they charge for 32) and a ryzen 7 5800x, but after looking at user benchmark, i might try the 10700k instead for about $70 cheaper
Very, very, very honest and well-thought out review. My birthday is in May and that is when I’ll be purchasing the pc. I’m just worried that once I order it, it will arrive *right* before school starts in August, which won’t give me much time to use it. It should arrive by June or July though.
thanks! I know the feeling... I ordered mine in Nov hoping that I'd have it in time for the Christmas holidays and enjoy playing games during the break, but it didn't happen... but within 2 months for most people's orders I'd think.
Currently on my BuildRedux PC......First time hitting the power button for the day...Constantly loading circle... I then Hold the power button to Hard Reset / shutdown the pc..... Press the power button again and it boots up perfectly no issues
If your feeling adventurous. Flip aio to have cables down it keeps bubbles away from pump. Secondarily the lights seem to be RGB, if you wanted you could replace them with argb lights which gives lights multiple zones. Right now they have one color that's changeable this would allow multiple colors per unit which looks a lot better. Your board would need to have a 5 volt 3 pin argb connector to be controlled by motherboard but remote to a hub or running them to reset button would still work. I recommend a black 360mm asiahorse matrix for front.
I ordered a PC from this company months ago after they sent free systems to the content creators on TH-cam. They bill you the day you order the system, months later I have no PC and they only extend the delays when you email them. After you finally email them to cancel the order they stop emailing you at all. I opened a dispute with PayPal several days ago and they will not even respond to them. Maybe they have good gear, I don't know, but this order has been a complete disaster.
People talking about the AIO having the tubing at the top instead of the bottom don't understand what Nerd Jesus talked about with orientation. It's fine so long as the motor is below the highest point in the system. One pointer for people who have AIO for the CPU and none for the GPU, a way you can lower the temps for the hardware is to move the AIO to the top for exhaust. This will help keep air in the case lower, helping the air cooled GPUs stay cooler which is more greatly affected by temps than the CPU performance.
thank you for mentioning that, yes I've referred a few people to JayzTwoCents's video where he clarifies this too. People are immediately critical when they see the tubing runs to the top, ignoring the fact that Steve and Jay both said it's fine.
@@86drive86 Wanted to come back and report, I routed my AIO to the top and I have better temps for the GPU (Apex Legends gave about 8°C lower on average) and still great numbers for the CPU (about 5°C higher). I definitely recommend relocating it. You’ll need more screws for the front case fans because the supplied ones don’t work.
yes, this is a good point! The Build Redux PC is built on the same kind of case and parts that you'd build your own PC on. It doesn't use any proprietary or unique components like some manufacturers like Alienware would use, that would make upgrading it in the future a pain. It's ready to grow with you just like any PC you built yourself.
Hey man you got a great PC. Anyone with negative feedback about cable management or pricing is a donut. I got a PC from them and I took the time to spec it out if I built it myself and it came out to he exactly just the $75 build fee. I will say there lower end systems could be budgeted better as far as where they put the money. Like you don't need an aio for an i3. Type of thing. Do you drive a Toyota 86?
Yeah I've heard from others that the better value is from the higher end systems, where the $75 build fee becomes a smaller % of your overall cost. I went for the best tier and I think I got a pretty good value for what I paid. Coming from the Mac world, I would have paid more for a "lower-spec'd" iMac. And yeah I drive a Subaru BRZ, the twin to the 86. Check out some of my other videos on the channel for more driving and sports cars content...
I dunno is anyone said this, but keep your aio cooler the way it is. You want where the hose connects to the radiator to be higher than your cpu. Jays 2 cents and gamers nexus both did a video on it. Love the video
Yeah I saw their videos on this topic as well. They both said this orientation is fine... there might be some bubbling noise over time, but at least it will not shorten the life of your AIO water pump.
I just ordered mine a couple days ago. Looks like it'll be a while till I get mine. Running a 3070 and an i7 10700k. Update: it's been 3 weeks with no updates. I sent in an email and their team got back to me within an hour to let me know they are slammed and with everything going on, I should be receiving it early next month. Roughly 4 weeks from order to ship seems to be the estimate. Update 2: It's been a month and 12 days at this point. Still hasn't shipped. Messaged again and they are expecting to ship between May 19th and 26th. I ordered April 7th. Update 3: The PC finally shipped on May 24th and is expected to arrive on the 26th.
okay, after weeks of working over shifts, spending extra time fixing my grades and balancing school/work, i finally was able to come up with enough money to buy this pc. to be honest i felt cheated out when they rose the prices of the builds back in january but to be honest i’m lucky i even got to order this thing. I will say i have heard of people ordering theirs recently and have gotten no word back from redux in over a month. I ordered mines on monday and it is wednesday right now and no word from them so it’s worrying but I mean it’s only been 2 days so we’ll see... i will update this comment if anything goes wrong
@@86drive86 Thank you, I actually joined the discord server and I'm happy I did. it seems like my pc will get here first or second week of June so I have some waitin' to do!
@Good BOI stufo Not yet bruh.... though Phillip has let me know it should be here in less than a week from last sunday, so I imagine probably tomorrow or friday it will ship. This has been the longest month ngl.
@@86drive86 I’ve actually been in contact with Phillip (Redux support team) and he said I will be seeing it ship a few days from now so probably end of next week I will receive! very excited
Oh wow you ain't kidding, my 3070 was $699 but my ryzen 3700x was WAY cheaper than it is now lol. March 2nd, still no update other than, "it SHOULD be there soon. No update on if it's even built, much less shipped.
YOU CAN HAVE THE TUBING FOR THE COOLER ON THE TOP, IT DOESN'T EFFECT ANYTHING. The only way it would effect anything is off the thing onto of the CPU was above the radiator.
The tubes being on the top can effect the cooling rate,there can be air bubbles that form in the tube and can make the pump not work as good and also make the cooling system louder.
@Good BOI stufo yeah. MSRP for the founders edition is $499, I believe. $855 is the cheapest I've seen it anywhere, though. It may not be a good price, but it was still the best price available.
@@daizbid do you think the price will drop down later in the year? I’m planning on buying around christmas to see if there’s a sale but if the price won’t drop i guess i might as well buy now
It’s been quite a journey with redux. First PC they sent me came with the wrong GPU (RTX 3070) when I bought a RTX 3080. Not only that, but the Bluetooth didn’t work. Like, there was no icon to even turn it on. After hours of trouble shooting, I sent it back. It got lost in mail from fedex for about a month & so I switched from repair to replace. I’ve had my new PC for about 3-4 weeks now, and everything has been wonderful. BUT, tonight the Bluetooth has gone out. My first one had none connected. This one had Bluetooth working just fine for past 3 weeks and then all of a sudden the option to even turn on Bluetooth is gone and the computer doesn’t even recognize a Bluetooth connection in Device Manager. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@86drive86 Thankfully, I got it working again. I went into Bios and turned off Bluetooth. Reset system and went back to bios again and turned it back on. It registered after that. Whatever works, lol. 🤷🏽♂️😅
I got my redux PC a couple weeks ago! Ordered it in mid-march. After about a month I sent an email asking when they think it might be shipping out and they said the customer service team had no way to communicate with the (factory?) team that was building it and just gave me the generic response of 2-4 weeks after placing the order.
Thanks for the video. I wish they listed the specific parts you were getting including the brand like IBuyPower does. Other than that it seems like a nice PC. Now isn't the time to be buying a PC or a GPU. Its scalper pricing everywhere or nothing is in stock. No end in sight unless you go with pre-built.
yeah I guess with Build Redux they don't tell you what parts you are getting to stay flexible ... they just use whatever is available at the time. Most of the components seem to be good stuff though. And yeah pre-built seems to be the best way to get a GPU right now.
The only thing thats negative from the parts its the power supply because its not a specific brand or anything so if i could in the future i would definitely upgrade it to some type of corsair power supply but the cable management is quite nice!!!
actually I just double-checked, from the documentation what I got was a SilverStone 850W PSU. I don't know if that's a good brand or not for PSUs but at least it's a specific brand. What do you think?
@@86drive86 Ohhh my bad, i mean atleast it has a brand but its better to eventually upgrade that to a more popular brand if you would like more higher quality and corsair is def my fav brand for that :)
@@sofakingdop3643 yeah you're probably gonna have to wait like 4 weeks. They still haven't shipped mine. I really hope they ship it this week. I just want to get off my shit ps4 lol. Already got everything I need for it.
I’m stumped between waiting for NZXT to restock their streaming PC or buy the best PC from Redux. I have seen more mainstream streamers buy from NZXT though :\
probably can't go wrong with either honestly... for what it's worth it sounds like delivery times are speeding up for Redux, at least for some customers.
I wish they did progress reports. I understand they're probably backlogged. I ordered the one with the RTX4070 to and the wait is killing me and not knowing if they have the parts or even if they're working on it is killing me.
I looked up your case. Can you verify that the front mesh is open for unobstructed airflow, and is not some plastic or glass front just to show the RGB fans? Also, how are your temperatures? Has the cooling been adequate with no thermal throttling? Thanks.
Yes, it's open mesh. Over the past few months I've seen dust accumulate on the front of the mesh which tells me that air is being sucked in and the mesh is working. Temps are good, I haven't seen any thermal throttling to the point where I just don't monitor them anymore...
Hey quick question, after mining for like a week or so do you experience less performance from games after mining? Also, does other miner software like salad trusted and don’t cause less performance?
I haven't experienced any issue with less performance after mining. Obviously you should stop the mining software when you are gaming, and if you want to be extra clean you can restart the system before you start playing games but I don't think it's necessary ... I've only used the NiceHash QuickMiner software, I haven't tried other miner software.
@@86drive86 Thank you for the response! I wanted to earn side money by mining so I could buy steam games but I wasn’t too sure because it’s usually rumored that it degrades your gpu but it doesn’t. My redux pc is coming in a few days and I’ll just use nice hash once my computer arrives and do my research on other miners, thanks for the feedback!
I ordered mine March 31st and the weeks are going super slow, what city/state did the pc ship from? And did you get a follow up email when the pc was in transit?
I ordered mine on 3/17 and I just emailed them and they said it’s expected to ship the first or second week of May. Sounds like they’re getting pretty far behind.
Eagle arion 2.1 speaker system, yes it has a sub that I keep under the desk. I like them they sound very good and great for both games and music. I am not an audiophile by any means though, and I think this is a pretty cheap system. But I did buy this set many years ago and I'm not even sure they are still available to buy new; A quick search on Amazon didn't yield any available to buy.
80-90 fps in cold war is not great for a 3070.. might needa tweek some graphic settings.. ray tracing might me on and medium settings look just as good as high settings. Still better than consoles upscaling.
Whats the BuildRedux Discord server link? I ordered mine yesterday and im kinda nervous about shipping, but am also excited to not play on a potato haha
May I ask, does the motherboard have 2 Nvme slots? I noticed how for storage they only have combos of one nvme and one HDD, and was wondering if it has another slot for an Nvme?
I have a few questions, do these PC’s have Bluetooth?, do they come pre-installed with windows 10 64-bit? Would you recommend a PC from this website for a starter PC?
Yes it comes with BT. Windows is included and pre-installed unless you opt out to save money. The way things are priced at Build Redux, the more expensive the system, the more value you're getting. So save up and go for the best system you can afford.
Hey bro, I have a redux pc too and for some reason my WiFi speeds are very slow on the computer. I get 500 down and 40 up on every other device, but on my redux pc I get 25 down and 12 up. Have you noticed any issues with this as well?
I chose the Best tier ... looks like you might have to start with the Good tier, and build it up, or start with the Better tier and scale the build back a little.
I haven't noticed the case fans being all that loud. The GPU fans come on to cool the GPU when you're gaming or using more power. You might be able to adjust the fan curves using software to reduce their speed or trigger points, but that isn't something I have messed around with.
@@Slow370Z they gave a remote that has a button to slow down the fans, which didn’t work at first. I randomly started messing with it to make the colors go slower realizing I somehow made it quieter 😭 it was by luck for me
No, I didn't make a tutorial on how to do it, because there were videos available from others on how to do it. I stopped mining a while ago, it just wasn't being profitable anymore.
It's been very good, the only complaint is a very occasional crash that might be SSD related, but when I shut it down and restart it all goes back to normal.

If I were you, I'd take the AIO and flip it's orientation so the loop comes out of the bottom, that way air bubbles settle at the top of the radiator, which'll help your AIO last for much longer, and improve noise/performance from it
Every single time I try to buy from their website it always tells me unable to process transaction or card has been declined, have I done something wrong??? I'm so confused why I can't buy one.
maybe try from another computer or phone, or try a different card? otherwise I don't know what could be the problem, you may have to call or email them.

The desk is super old, I probably got it like 20+ years ago lol. Unfortunately I don't see it available anymore, I guess you can try a store like IKEA to see if you can find something similar.
buy the highest tier that you can afford, is my advice. The 3060 is good, but if you want to future proof your system, buy the better or best tier system. Otherwise you will be upgrading the system sooner and spending more money to play some of the newer more demanding games.
@@86drive86 I would love to get the better version but I can only afford the good version to get I really like the PC case they use I know Nzxt has a streaming plus with a 3070 at the same price but I don't like Nzxt PC case as much as build Redux case

No, normally you would pay the entire cost up front when you order the PC. The $75 build fee is just what BR advertises as the service charge to assemble your PC, on top of all the parts cost of whatever system you spec out. If you decide to finance your purchase and make monthly payments, then that is a separate deal; I don't have any experience with financing the PC purchase so I can't tell you how that works.
@@86drive86 also if I were to buy one and do the monthly payments dpes that mean that for eg the pc cost 1700 and I would just have to pay it off monthly instead of paying that upfront?
I think that's right, though there are probably some additional finance charges so you will probably pay slightly more than the 1700 cost of the PC if you pay over time. Read the fine print on the payment plan before you buy!
I bought an abs challenger for 1,199 with a 2060 and i7 10f. But for the redux PC I think you did overspend a little bit. A 3070 MSRP is 499. You shouldn't expect MSRP but it's good. 50 dollars above is the limit. I bet redux stated the price of it at 560 or 600. And that's true it was that expensive. But I wouldn't take that. Overall I don't know how much it cost you so I can't say much. But all I can say is always check the specs on PC part picker. never settle on what they say is the price, that's how you get ripped off.
thanks for chiming in! As I said in the video, Build Redux was charging $519 for the 3070 when i ordered my PC. And at the time that I ordered, that seemed like a reasonable price to get a PC with those components when they were not available from other suppliers. But they did raise the price significantly by the time I made this video and seems like it is still quite high now. I just looked now and they price it at $719 at the moment.
@@86drive86 yeah that tends to happen with these prebuilt companies, they see prices go up, they make it more expensive. even though they got their cards at MSRP or lower. but I'm glad you got it at a fair price. 519 is really good, especially in the middle of the graphics card apocalypse. Hope the computer holds up. 👍
Can anyone share the invite link for the buildredux discord, thanks. Great video, got mine setup last week. I was one of the unfortunate to receive one with the graphics card popped out of place and the small clip on the board that holds it in place snapped off. Did a good inspection on pins and board and no damage, put it together and no issues so far other trying to setup the DOCP for the ram but bios freezes after but with a CPU Fan error message.

@Ismael Hosking Isla it is, on 1440p. If you payed around 2k for a new computer and it’s getting 80-100 in 1080p then it’s bad. Of course, it depends on the game you’re playing, your settings, and how the game is optimized.
@Ismael Hosking Isla 80-100fps is good. He's probably one of those who complain about not getting more than 144+fps on a 144hz monitor, regardless, getting well above 60 fps is fantastic for most users.
Broooo sameee!!
60 hz is okay not bad if it doesn’t dip. 80 is just fine. The only time you can really see a performance dip is when the fps starts to fluctuate. I used to have 240 but now workin with a 1440 165hz and I can’t see a difference from my 240hz monitor.
Hes probably also running max graphics settings or never changed them, as he seems like the type of guy who is clueless with specs and things like that, and is obviously a very casual gamer, he had trouble adjusting the rgb lights for goodness sake. So in reality if you went and overclocked the parts, and played on meduim or low settings, you would be getting like 2 times the performance he showed in the video.

I just got mine this week. I have no regrets. Easy setup and well built. It's clean and beautiful. For my PC, they connected the cooler RGB to the fan controller so you don't have to use a separate program to control the LEDs.
@@TheTigercore how long did it take to arrive from the day ordered
How long did it take and did you choose custom build?
@@jbacmafi mine actually shipped yesterday and will take about a week. And I chose the highest build they had and I think I just left it with whatever they put on. I would’ve upgraded the gpu from a 3070 to 3080 but they were sold out.
I am gonna watch this guy more because he is not like those reviews who say one good thing and then find something to go crazy on plus I am glad to have someone who didn’t just get sponsors to tell me this pc is great and lies so thank you so much
definitely
I've used it for 3 months and it's pretty much like the day I got it, except some dust
Nothing some canned air can’t fix. If you don’t want dust, swap out the case for a white one. White supposedly hides dust a LITTLE better than black.
Do you do any 3D rendering with it by any chance? I want to buy a pc in the future for both gaming and rendering some animations. Do you think a 3070 or 3080 would do the job?
@@victordossantos5067 a 3080 should be great for rendering, just have a good processor and stuff to go with it.
I’ve had pc’s all my life. (I’m 25 currently) My first one lasted me 7 years. My second one lasted me 5 years. My third/current one I’ve had since January 2019 and still going strong. (All of them) just clean the dust and they’ll keep going 😜
FINALLY!!!! A PC review that's easy to understand for people that don't know much about them. I'm primarily a console gamer, so when people talk about their specs, I don't even know where to look or what to think! People talk about their intel 500 C-3PO's or whatever and I feel hopelessly lost. Someday I might build my own PC, but I'd rather go prebuilt as a start. So, thanks for keeping it grounded and comprehensible for somebody who doesn't really know what to look for. It's especially difficult thanks to all the negativity you mentioned. It's like no matter what kind of hardware I get, someone's always gonna say "wow, that's trash. you're trash."
TL:DR Thanks for keeping it simple and honest. I think I know where I'm gonna get my gaming PC from thanks in part to your review :)
That's unfortunate that you feel/felt that way. PC's as a hobby were a relatively niche thing up until probably 2017 or 2018, where more celebrities began getting gaming rigs. It especially blew up in 2020, where during the pandemic where a lot of people, due to being stuck in the house, started looking at gaming PCs to pass the time. As with a lot of niche interests, especially ones that incorporate technical knowledge, there are a lot of gatekeepers and know-it-alls within the community. They see all of these new people entering the hobby, and feel like they need to flex their knowledge, or belittle them with it. I don't know if you are unsure about getting into PCs as a hobby, or if you were ever interested at all in it, but it can really be a very interesting and engaging hobby to take up. I'd recommend looking at Linus Tech Tips if you're ever curious about PCs as more than just something to play PC games. He usually explains complex concepts and parts in a digestible manner for newer people, but does also dive deeper to keep the interest of more seasoned PC enthusiasts.
As an aside, things like CPUs or graphics cards follow a similar naming system. The first one or two numbers in the sequence being the generation, or series of the part, and the following numbers being where it ranks in the series. Sort of like the make, model, and trim of a car. Generally, the higher the subsequent numbers, the more powerful the part. (For example, an RTX 3080 is more powerful than an RTX 3070. 30 being the series, 80/70 being the card model) I know your comment is a couple months old, so you may very well know this by now, but I thought I'd try at clearing it up for you.
But really PCs and PC building as a hobby is quite rewarding, and can offer you a wealth of experience in other topics depending on how deep you get into it.
Oh my gosh the C-3PO comment is TOO real 😂
I have always built my own PC but this just isnt feasible right now with parts shortages so I pulled the trigger on a build from Build Redux. For $75 for the build and warranty you cannot beat it. The cost of individual parts are all at or below MSRP (GPU I bought with system is a RTX 3080ti and is about $100 above MSRP but good luck paying even that for one) so to me it was a no brainer.
EDIT for anyone interested in current wait time:
I ordered mine on November 19, 2021 and PC is on its way and scheduled to be here on December 9, 2021 to give anyone an idea of wait time currently.
thanks for the info on your order! Sounds like the delivery times are speeding up a bit, that is good news. :)

Hey my good man. One advice, flip that radiator in the front so the hoses are at the bottom not the top. Check out Gamers Nexus on this. Solid advice. Got mine ordered last week! Got sick of waiting for a RTX 3080.
i would like to confirm, your videos convinced me to pull the trigger. i built my pc back in late 2016. and it was time for a new rig. looking at prices of GPUs. and living in a rural area. i cant just go stand inline some where and hope to get a card at retail. looking forward to having a 3080ti!!! best card i have ever had in any of my pcs.

The only thing I can see would be an issue is the mounting of the cpu radiator. If there is room hoses on the bottom or mount it to the roof of the case. Other than that seems pretty nice.
I'm thinking of getting a build redux PC for a starter, I'll upgrade it when i get enough money, but right now i only have enough money to buy a redux PC, if certain parts are not too good, I'll try to upgrade that certain part. when i earn enough money. 😅 The video was also so nice and honest 👍
Glad you found it useful! I think the build redux is a decent deal for a good PC, and yeah you can upgrade it later but it will be fine for most purposes as it comes.
after seeing this video, it made me more hype. i literally just ordered a redux pc 30 minutes ago
Just ordered one as well, I got an AMD processor though. I am planning to put in the Ryzen 7 5800x that has been collecting dust on my shelf for 2 months. I have always built my own PC but with GPU shortages this was the only way I could get a 3070 at a reasonable price.

Thanks! Congrats on the purchase, now the wait begins...
looking into getting basically the same pc. the one i was looking at has 16gb (only because i can upgrade it with 2 more 8gb sticks for cheaper than they charge for 32) and a ryzen 7 5800x, but after looking at user benchmark, i might try the 10700k instead for about $70 cheaper
Very, very, very honest and well-thought out review. My birthday is in May and that is when I’ll be purchasing the pc. I’m just worried that once I order it, it will arrive *right* before school starts in August, which won’t give me much time to use it. It should arrive by June or July though.
thanks! I know the feeling... I ordered mine in Nov hoping that I'd have it in time for the Christmas holidays and enjoy playing games during the break, but it didn't happen... but within 2 months for most people's orders I'd think.

@@86drive86 Good to know!
If your feeling adventurous. Flip aio to have cables down it keeps bubbles away from pump. Secondarily the lights seem to be RGB, if you wanted you could replace them with argb lights which gives lights multiple zones. Right now they have one color that's changeable this would allow multiple colors per unit which looks a lot better. Your board would need to have a 5 volt 3 pin argb connector to be controlled by motherboard but remote to a hub or running them to reset button would still work. I recommend a black 360mm asiahorse matrix for front.
Argb and RGB will kind of sync but not really.
I just ordered my Redux pc yesterday. I guess I am going to wait. Although, the website says that I am going to wait between 4 to 5 weeks.
I ordered a PC from this company months ago after they sent free systems to the content creators on TH-cam. They bill you the day you order the system, months later I have no PC and they only extend the delays when you email them. After you finally email them to cancel the order they stop emailing you at all. I opened a dispute with PayPal several days ago and they will not even respond to them. Maybe they have good gear, I don't know, but this order has been a complete disaster.

Great review
People talking about the AIO having the tubing at the top instead of the bottom don't understand what Nerd Jesus talked about with orientation. It's fine so long as the motor is below the highest point in the system.
One pointer for people who have AIO for the CPU and none for the GPU, a way you can lower the temps for the hardware is to move the AIO to the top for exhaust. This will help keep air in the case lower, helping the air cooled GPUs stay cooler which is more greatly affected by temps than the CPU performance.
thank you for mentioning that, yes I've referred a few people to JayzTwoCents's video where he clarifies this too. People are immediately critical when they see the tubing runs to the top, ignoring the fact that Steve and Jay both said it's fine.
@@86drive86 Wanted to come back and report, I routed my AIO to the top and I have better temps for the GPU (Apex Legends gave about 8°C lower on average) and still great numbers for the CPU (about 5°C higher). I definitely recommend relocating it. You’ll need more screws for the front case fans because the supplied ones don’t work.
@@John_the_baptized makes sense, great suggestion thanks for reporting back!
6 weeks for me get it july1st super excited
The on;y thing I see wrong is the water cooler should be upside down. Will make it last longer and work better. But great video.
All of that plus you can upgrade the composites to get evrything better just like you can in a custome built pc
yes, this is a good point! The Build Redux PC is built on the same kind of case and parts that you'd build your own PC on. It doesn't use any proprietary or unique components like some manufacturers like Alienware would use, that would make upgrading it in the future a pain. It's ready to grow with you just like any PC you built yourself.
Over all it works great looks great a great buy!
yeah, I am loving it so far!
Hey man you got a great PC. Anyone with negative feedback about cable management or pricing is a donut. I got a PC from them and I took the time to spec it out if I built it myself and it came out to he exactly just the $75 build fee. I will say there lower end systems could be budgeted better as far as where they put the money. Like you don't need an aio for an i3. Type of thing. Do you drive a Toyota 86?
Yeah I've heard from others that the better value is from the higher end systems, where the $75 build fee becomes a smaller % of your overall cost. I went for the best tier and I think I got a pretty good value for what I paid. Coming from the Mac world, I would have paid more for a "lower-spec'd" iMac. And yeah I drive a Subaru BRZ, the twin to the 86. Check out some of my other videos on the channel for more driving and sports cars content...
I dunno is anyone said this, but keep your aio cooler the way it is. You want where the hose connects to the radiator to be higher than your cpu. Jays 2 cents and gamers nexus both did a video on it. Love the video
Yeah I saw their videos on this topic as well. They both said this orientation is fine... there might be some bubbling noise over time, but at least it will not shorten the life of your AIO water pump.
I just ordered mine a couple days ago. Looks like it'll be a while till I get mine. Running a 3070 and an i7 10700k.
Update: it's been 3 weeks with no updates. I sent in an email and their team got back to me within an hour to let me know they are slammed and with everything going on, I should be receiving it early next month. Roughly 4 weeks from order to ship seems to be the estimate.

YOU CAN HAVE THE TUBING FOR THE COOLER ON THE TOP, IT DOESN'T EFFECT ANYTHING. The only way it would effect anything is off the thing onto of the CPU was above the radiator.
Yeah Jayztwocents said basically the same thing... that's why I haven't made flipping the tubing much of a priority.
The tubes being on the top can effect the cooling rate,there can be air bubbles that form in the tube and can make the pump not work as good and also make the cooling system louder.

It’s been quite a journey with redux. First PC they sent me came with the wrong GPU (RTX 3070) when I bought a RTX 3080. Not only that, but the Bluetooth didn’t work. Like, there was no icon to even turn it on. After hours of trouble shooting, I sent it back. It got lost in mail from fedex for about a month & so I switched from repair to replace. I’ve had my new PC for about 3-4 weeks now, and everything has been wonderful. BUT, tonight the Bluetooth has gone out. My first one had none connected. This one had Bluetooth working just fine for past 3 weeks and then all of a sudden the option to even turn on Bluetooth is gone and the computer doesn’t even recognize a Bluetooth connection in Device Manager. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

I looked up your case. Can you verify that the front mesh is open for unobstructed airflow, and is not some plastic or glass front just to show the RGB fans? Also, how are your temperatures? Has the cooling been adequate with no thermal throttling? Thanks.
Yes, it's open mesh. Over the past few months I've seen dust accumulate on the front of the mesh which tells me that air is being sucked in and the mesh is working. Temps are good, I haven't seen any thermal throttling to the point where I just don't monitor them anymore...

Hey quick question, after mining for like a week or so do you experience less performance from games after mining? Also, does other miner software like salad trusted and don’t cause less performance?
I haven't experienced any issue with less performance after mining. Obviously you should stop the mining software when you are gaming, and if you want to be extra clean you can restart the system before you start playing games but I don't think it's necessary ...

contact DommyBomb#3529 in Discord, she can send you an invite. it's a private server so I can't link to it unfortunately (I am not an admin).
@@86drive86 I got in Thank you!!
Have you received your pc yet? If so how long did it take to reach you? Also, any damage when it was shipped?
@@125many the PC works great, havent had any issues
May I ask, does the motherboard have 2 Nvme slots? I noticed how for storage they only have combos of one nvme and one HDD, and was wondering if it has another slot for an Nvme?
Yes, the Z490 motherboard comes with 2 M.2 slots ... not sure what motherboard you get if you spec it with an AMD processor but you can look it up.
I have a few questions, do these PC’s have Bluetooth?, do they come pre-installed with windows 10 64-bit? Would you recommend a PC from this website for a starter PC?
Yes it comes with BT. Windows is included and pre-installed unless you opt out to save money. The way things are priced at Build Redux, the more expensive the system, the more value you're getting. So save up and go for the best system you can afford.
Hey bro, I have a redux pc too and for some reason my WiFi speeds are very slow on the computer. I get 500 down and 40 up on every other device, but on my redux pc I get 25 down and 12 up. Have you noticed any issues with this as well?
I haven't noticed any issues but I am using the ethernet plug from my router into the PC, I haven't been using the WiFi feature.
Can i ask on the redux site which one you went with when it asked what price range? I have a budget of about 1500$
I chose the Best tier ... looks like you might have to start with the Good tier, and build it up, or start with the Better tier and scale the build back a little.
Just asking, is the fan natural blowing hard/loud? I just got mine and get the fans blows hard and idk how to turn it down? Any advice?
I haven't noticed the case fans being all that loud. The GPU fans come on to cool the GPU when you're gaming or using more power. You might be able to adjust the fan curves using software to reduce their speed or trigger points, but that isn't something I have messed around with.
This just started happening to me too, not sure if it’s an actual problem. I didn’t notice it before.
@@Slow370Z they gave a remote that has a button to slow down the fans, which didn’t work at first. I randomly started messing with it to make the colors go slower realizing I somehow made it quieter 😭 it was by luck for me
Yo what’s the most recommended motherboard to get?
How do I join the discord?
contact user DommyBomb on Discord to request an invite to the group.
Do you have a tutorial on how you do the mining?
No, I didn't make a tutorial on how to do it, because there were videos available from others on how to do it. I stopped mining a while ago, it just wasn't being profitable anymore.
@@86drive86 Thanks for the info. Hows your computer been? Been thinking of getting a redux
It's been very good, the only complaint is a very occasional crash that might be SSD related, but when I shut it down and restart it all goes back to normal.
How do I get a an invite for Build Redux discord?
if you have IG, send a message to user DommyBomb. Or look for her on Discord, user DommyBomb#3529 she is the admin of the unofficial Build Redux users discord.
remember to like the video!
Umm question, do u use wifi or something that connects the internet into the pc?
I connect my PC directly to a router via ethernet cable. But the PC comes with wifi card option too.
I ordered a PC from this company months ago after they sent free systems
to the content creators on TH-cam. They bill you the day you order the
system, months later I have no PC and they only extend the delays when
you email them. After you finally email them to cancel the order they
stop emailing you at all. I opened a dispute with PayPal several days
ago and they will not even respond to them. Maybe they have good gear, I
don't know, but this order has been a complete disaster.
Sorry to hear that Dave. That does sound like a disappointment for sure.
I don’t believe this for a second
Are all the prices Australian? And can you get the pc made for Australian outlets and Australia’s region
Prices are in USD. I believe Build Redux only sells and ships in the US.
@@86drive86 alright thank you
If I were you, I'd take the AIO and flip it's orientation so the loop comes out of the bottom, that way air bubbles settle at the top of the radiator, which'll help your AIO last for much longer, and improve noise/performance from it
Every single time I try to buy from their website it always tells me unable to process transaction or card has been declined, have I done something wrong??? I'm so confused why I can't buy one.
maybe try from another computer or phone, or try a different card? otherwise I don't know what could be the problem, you may have to call or email them.
@@86drive86 I tried to, I decided to go with maingear since it wasn't liking me on the website, tried everything and it didn't work. Hopefully it won't be too long till I can get the pc tbh, it's like 6-9 weeks.
Hello friend, how can you show me the link from where you bought your computer table, thank you very much brother xD
The desk is super old, I probably got it like 20+ years ago lol. Unfortunately I don't see it available anymore, I guess you can try a store like IKEA to see if you can find something similar.
@@86drive86 Ok brother thank
Does this pre built allow for upgrades down the line? i e is the case big enough etc etc?
Yes, the case is pretty large and has room for upgrades.
Just ordered a redux pc 😀
Getting mine soon, hope everything goes good for yours!
how is it?
@@CrypttInVR took longer than wanted to get. But it's worth it.
Is the good version of build redux 3060 good for the price I'm thinking about it but I don't know much about them
buy the highest tier that you can afford, is my advice. The 3060 is good, but if you want to future proof your system, buy the better or best tier system. Otherwise you will be upgrading the system sooner and spending more money to play some of the newer more demanding games.
@@86drive86 I would love to get the better version but I can only afford the good version to get I really like the PC case they use I know Nzxt has a streaming plus with a 3070 at the same price but I don't like Nzxt PC case as much as build Redux case
@@86drive86 how do you like the build Redux case I'll be ordering the good version of build Redux soon I just don't know about the wait time and after I get a 3070 or better I'm going to give my daughter the 3060 for her pc she has the 1080ti at the moment
sounds like a good plan. The Cooler Master case is quite good, I like it a lot.
Just a bit confused, so u pay $75 up front and then it gets sent then u start paying the monthly payment?
No, normally you would pay the entire cost up front when you order the PC. The $75 build fee is just what BR advertises as the service charge to assemble your PC, on top of all the parts cost of whatever system you spec out. If you decide to finance your purchase and make monthly payments, then that is a separate deal; I don't have any experience with financing the PC purchase so I can't tell you how that works.
@@86drive86 ok well thank you
@@86drive86 also if I were to buy one and do the monthly payments dpes that mean that for eg the pc cost 1700 and I would just have to pay it off monthly instead of paying that upfront?
I think that's right, though there are probably some additional finance charges so you will probably pay slightly more than the 1700 cost of the PC if you pay over time. Read the fine print on the payment plan before you buy!
Do they charge your card immediately, or when it ships?
immediately I think.
I am loving my build so far, but my remote seemed to break on day one
ahh that's a bummer. did you try changing the battery?
I bought an abs challenger for 1,199 with a 2060 and i7 10f. But for the redux PC I think you did overspend a little bit. A 3070 MSRP is 499. You shouldn't expect MSRP but it's good. 50 dollars above is the limit. I bet redux stated the price of it at 560 or 600. And that's true it was that expensive. But I wouldn't take that. Overall I don't know how much it cost you so I can't say much. But all I can say is always check the specs on PC part picker. never settle on what they say is the price, that's how you get ripped off.
thanks for chiming in! As I said in the video, Build Redux was charging $519 for the 3070 when i ordered my PC. And at the time that I ordered, that seemed like a reasonable price to get a PC with those components when they were not available from other suppliers. But they did raise the price significantly by the time I made this video and seems like it is still quite high now. I just looked now and they price it at $719 at the moment.
@@86drive86 yeah that tends to happen with these prebuilt companies, they see prices go up, they make it more expensive. even though they got their cards at MSRP or lower. but I'm glad you got it at a fair price. 519 is really good, especially in the middle of the graphics card apocalypse. Hope the computer holds up. 👍
Can anyone share the invite link for the buildredux discord, thanks. Great video, got mine setup last week. I was one of the unfortunate to receive one with the graphics card popped out of place and the small clip on the board that holds it in place snapped off. Did a good inspection on pins and board and no damage, put it together and no issues so far other trying to setup the DOCP for the ram but bios freezes after but with a CPU Fan error message.
1. How do you spell the Star Wars game
2. How much didi it cost?
The game is Star Wars Squadrons.
It probably cost about $60 new but its included as part of EA Play/Game Pass Unlimited.
@@86drive86 aight thank you
do you know i can have it because i'm in canada and when i go for buy it i can chose usa
I think Build Redux sells only in the US unfortunately.
What monitor do you use? Thinking about buying redux PC
LG 27GL850-B 27“ Ultragear QHD (1440p) Nano IPS Monitor
a full list of equipment is in the description.
@@86drive86 thank you
I recommend watching this at 1.25x Speed.
How do I get rid of the bios thing
not sure what you're referring to, can you describe your problem in more detail?
Nice follow up video. I was wondering does your pc change the fan speed with your remote?
thanks! the remote doesn't change the fan's actual speed, but it changes the speed of the lighting patterns on the fans.
idk if you will see this comment but if you choose one of the categories do you build it? or do you get it sent already built?
warzone max fpm is 160 so if its getting 140 max that as good as ps4 and xbox one (not considering the fact that ps4 is 25-30% less frames on newer games) but ye im thinking bout buying one from better category :)
it comes pre-built you don't have to build it.
@@86drive86 ok im a little disapointed thanks tho. i did figure this out by watching linusteck video lol
