Just bought an Ironside system a couple of months ago. Fractal case (Like the one you showed), Ryzen 5950x processor, Icegiant CPU cooler, 2x32gig Ram, Evga 3080 12 gig, Asus Rog Strix II x570 mobo. 4188 after military discount. They covered shipping AND..........AND.......They delivered EARLY with an EXCELLENT product. I can't say enough good things about em. ABSOLUTELY would buy from them again
Thanks for a great video. I agree that PowerGPU deserves props for stepping up and helping those who got the short end of the stick on their PC orders. As much as I love seeing these super high builds, I'll never be able to afford any of them. The system we bought from CyberPowerPC on the 4th of July is a 12700k and a 3080 GPU and I decided to get a 1000 watt PSU as you suggested in earlier videos so I wouldn't be affected by the spikes. I know I might have overpaid a bit on the GPU, but I'm okay with it because this system will last me for 3-5 yrs at 1440p. I also got my Steam Deck this past Friday and I'm so happy. My wife made me a bet last September that if I could drop to under 200lbs by August 1st she'd buy the deck for me. I hit 198 lbs on July 15th so in the end I dropped 60lbs 😋
I've been wanting a pre-built, and you praise SkyTech. When comparing prices on pcpartpicker, they aren't overcharging at least. I look at a custom build, and they provide info I need for most parts, but they're vague in some areas. "650 watt 80+ Gold" is not enough info. Brand? Modular? Same with "GeForce 3060ti 8Gb". Can I trust they won't give me a bad model to cut costs?
Lol WTF a Lyte gaming PC Ad just came on while watching this video. I wouldn't buy shiiite based off that ad, WTF. Horrible ad.. Anyhow I felt lazy this go round and bought an NZXT prebuild for a good price.
Ibuypower can keep all of their systems. I do not want one since they give no choice but to install the new version of Windows Vista on their computers. As i told them, since they only have windows 11 right now, I would never buy one of their systems. The only way that would change is if I could get Windows 10 on it and not this crap that microsoft is trying to force everyone to move to. If they stop support of Windows 10 and I will not use windows 11, If I also do not like Windows 12 when it comes out then I might just decide to go to Trisquel Linux instead.
That $5700 ( with tax included) will probably cost half that or less in 2 years 😂 I don’t see buying a $6000 car and in 2 years its value will be $2500. I don’t understand who buys these crazy expensive desktops. People the dudes driving teslas at the age of 20 or something.
I love all the great new computers, but I think you said it best, for what I use them for it's just not going to be worth a $5000 set up. I can build my own Ryzen 7 with a 3060 and air cooling (just don't run as hot) for $1100 bucks. Considering all the parts will be obsolete soon, I don't need the best motherboard as I will have to replace everything in a couple years anyway! Plus I would love to build my own!
@Smelly Wrestling Geek I was more referring to AM sockets. AMD is changing their sockets so it will be un-upgradable after 2022. If you were to go with Intel, your motherboards are still able to take new chips. But I am just an AMD fan!
@@warrior11134to be fair am4 been out a long time probably longer than it should be and it's about time amd is coming out with a new socket but that being said Lisa Su said herself and ''confirmed that AMD will have support for the current-gen AM4 platform for the foreseeable future'' for many years to come and that was said in May 23 of this year so hopefully she stay true to that.
From a clueless father who is trying to make a son happy with a gaming pc. Could you or someone in the comments tell me if I made a good purchase. I ended up buying him a Cyberpower Syber cube pro 200.
Just wanted to point this out from Alaxendar PCs warranty policy. Basically if there is no direct replacement fpr the failed part, they will issue you a store credit for buying a new machine for the value of the failed part. So if the CPU fails after 4 years and Intel has moved past that socket they may give you a in store credit for $300 or whatever it's worth at that time towards a brand new macine, but not actually replace the CPU. At the top end there is roughly a $1000 premium for their PCs vs other quality integrators and $2000 over cyberpower PC of similar configuration. Thats a lot for a warranty that could require buying a whole new rig rather than replacing a failed part... "...however, if a desktop computer or component is no longer manufactured or widely supported in the marketplace, or is not otherwise commercially available during any warranty period in this agreement, making the repair of a desktop computer impracticable, Alexander PCs may, at its sole option, elect not to repair the desktop computer, but instead issue an in-store credit for the then value of the desktop computer or component."
I have just watched the video you put out in July about Lyte Gaming, Maingear, and Overkill which brought me to your channel and one of the ad breaks for this video was for lyte gaming. lol
I’m strongly considering buying a pc from Alexander PC’s strictly from you me videos. I like their site, the thorough explanations. But now that I learned about Ironside I might have to check them out as well.
What about letting England be a part of your research, as every American PC content provider only ever talk about their country and prices et al and not the rest of the world and what they can expect to be paying. Cheers you mad passionate fool you. 🤣😂😅
I’m looking for a desktop pc around 1,200$ I wanna be able to play vr games and record while being able to run higher graphics. Anyone got any recommendations?
Started watching your videos and was thinking about prebuilt pc. Trying to peace one together is a pain TEC has changed too much for me about ten years since last rebuild. Looking for complete water build think they are so cool, mine gets so dang hot now and my games keep crashing all the time {Modded Games Heavy}. Any advice?
I bought the whisper from Power gpu it’s on its way to me it’s my first gaming pc so I want to be worth it and rememberable I was gonna with lyte but I saw your review and i turned around and went the other way to power gpu ❤😊
i bought a ryzen 9 5950x 64Gb (3200 cl16) and a rtx 3090 with x570 motherboard 7 months ago in Australia for $6100, i considered that a good price as the card was worth $4000 at the time
I love your videos. As someone who wants to rejoin PC gaming, I am grateful to the advice you provide. Would love to know what is the set up you have in your room as far as your PC, keyboard, monitors are concerned. Thanks again.
Braethorn, I like your videos. Do you ever make videos focusing on normal, non-gaming PCs and workstations (office/business, stock trading, photo editing, video editing, architectural design, CAD, engineering analysis/simulation, home network servers, etc.) and components? Or is this channel pretty much focused just on gaming PCs?
Question, really need help. bought a prebuilt ibuypower pc and its extremely slow. 3080, 12700kf and i dont remember the rest im not a big pc guy. do you or anyone in the comments have any idea why its so slow? not an internet problem
I am going through the process right now of buying my first gaming PC, I have been watching your videos for a day straight now, lol, I am trying to stay around $1,500!
Heck yeah my guy hope u get to feeling better
Well hello fan actually you won a prize hit me up 🤙

Look into Build Pro PC, they have a prebuilt system with a Ryzen 7 and an RTX 3060 for only $1400, very good value especially for being under $1500.

Congrats bro! Keep hitting goals!
Well, done great job keep it up & we need you at 188lbs & your golden👨💻🤝💪✅🗣💯😱🧋🧋😎🙏🏽
Wow! Congratulations!
Perfect systems do exist, you just have to build it yourself.
It's called Falcon Northwest!
Today on 8/5/2022 I seen a Lyte gaming add that had you in it still.
Corsair direct is the best, even if they are expensive.

Hey, I bought from skytech back around February my 3060 ti was evga and so was my power supply if that helps.
Thanks for your content...Advice on a gaming/4k video editing computer build with a budget around 2k any advice would be greatly appreciated..
Do any of these pc building companies have small form factor options? Like which company has the best small form factor pcs?
I still see ur face on lyte gaming ads
what about all the people living outside of US
Hey folks.
out of everything to swap.. Power supply is the easiest and CHEAP thing to upgrade.. even at 1000Watts
Anyone else get a lytegaming ad🤣
Lol WTF a Lyte gaming PC Ad just came on while watching this video. I wouldn't buy shiiite based off that ad, WTF. Horrible ad.. Anyhow I felt lazy this go round and bought an NZXT prebuild for a good price.

Good Video Braè very informative, See Ya on Twitch Thursday… “P0M0NA”
Nope, I checked many sites and powergpu is one of the worst when it comes to pricing.
If he's recommending powergpu, that's a big red flag

Excellent observations, and that was my concern as well!
Ibuypower is little better than Dell these days, their customer service is complete garbage. I will never use them ever again.
I have just watched the video you put out in July about Lyte Gaming, Maingear, and Overkill which brought me to your channel and one of the ad breaks for this video was for lyte gaming. lol
Your last videos have been crazy
Wonderful videos that are targeting obscure parts of the market.
I hope to see you 1 million!
Keep it up!
Have you covered Ava Direct before?
Yup, and I've reviewed a PC from them. Just search my channel👍

How slow is slow for that PC, in other words what frames are you getting in other games compared to other computers with those specs?
iBUYPOWER is junk.
Which keyboard is this
Finally something worth watching
Is the msi aegis still worth it in 2022?
Thanks
Do you go thru telegram for giveaways ? I was contacted and seems like a scam if not I'm sorry ?
That's a very common scam. Whenever I do a giveaway, take note of the exact method of entry I explain in the video.
