So great to see Jay bringing his 6 year old son to Micro Center to create a father-son set up. The shots of Austin standing 6 feet in front of Jay aren't fooling anyone. Great video, guys.
i built a "mid-range" PC back in 2018 for $600, to hear $1,500 and "mid-range" in the same sentence sent shivers down my spine. I'll still let my old guy kick around for another half decade
It's the GPUs. The market never really recovered from the price scalping of the RTX3000 series. Intel and Nvidia went "Wow! People will pay double the MSRP? We've been charging too low!"
was Great watching you all at Microcenter in Miami and Thank you for taking Picture with us and letting us meet you. Appreciate you! Great video! I am in it YAY hahahaha
the issue with ai is it will scrap the internet for articles then go from there, i put in build me a gaming pc build for under 1000 and it legitimately gave a parts list from a black friday 2023 article it found online, using an AM4 socket
Since the 7900X is currently $319.99 at Micro Center, it would have been interesting to see Austin's build with twice the core count instead, it would have been much more competitive. It would have been easy to save $20 on the case to make it happen.
no gaming tests is disappointing!! you're literally buying a mid-range GAMING PC & the 7600x3d is the 2nd best gaming cpu out right now. that's the whole reason people get it
Micro center needs to build a store in my state. I wouldn't need one here if they shipped everything instead of just monitors, storage, like 1 gpu and a few laptops.
This had to be recorded like a month and some weeks before publishing because This store was a mad house when I went on an "early" opening. So glad this is in Florida 👐
Austin's system reminds me a bit of a newer version of my own. I got a white North with a 5700x 3D and a 6900XT. Actually just bought the 5700x 3D yesterday at a microcenter lol.
That was then, Microcenter does not have shit in stock anymore and the one by me looks nothing like the new stores, it looks more like a boring warehouse with more cameras than a 7-11 ! and you cannot pick your parts, you have to wait forever for a staff member to go get the parts ( in the stockroom that ONLY an employee can go inside ) it feels like a creepy pawn shop really, like I am buying a gun and not a computer !
Living in Winnipeg and being less than an 8 hour drive to Minneapolis, I am very tempted to make the drive for my next build. It's insane the price differences even after the exchange rates, Micro Center has the better buying power vs. whatever we have going on up here lmao
@@AndreChaosweapon I understand why he chose 12th gen yeah but LGA1700 ends with 14th gen so there’s realistically no upgrade path after 12900K. Austin’s AM5 build makes more sense from a future proofing standpoint.
@@AndreChaosweapon It’s a 3 year old chip lol. Silly justification for a soon to be obsolete platform. I don’t know about you but if I’m upgrading to the newest gen hardware I’d want to at least have to option to upgrade my other components as well. He had a goal for the video and he accomplished it but mentioning that he had future proofing in mind is pretty disingenuous.
I'm not very familiar with Micro center, but is that LEGO at 3:59 ? I might just not be in the know, but I thought they were purely an electronics store
Big difference in scores between Austin and me. My total score is 25,116. My CPU score(5800X3D) is 11,646, and my GPU score(7900XTX) is 31,558. That's with just changing the PBO to -25. Had it at -30 as most posts I found suggested, but got some hangups off and on. Lowered it to -25, nothing since. My RAM is 32 GB of G.Skill (Neo? Don't remember) running at 3600 MHz. Just find it interesting that with 1 tier lower card, and an older CPU but with 2 more cores, were at least 2.5 times higher.
I love getting a PC without any peripherals or monitor, must be great seeing those benchmarks:))) Obviously they missed the budget without mouse, keyboard and monitor.
It's not that often that you get to see Phil behind the camera. Jay needs to buy Phil a harness that will raise the camera up over his head when doing these shoots 😂
This is without a doubt the biggest win for in store PC purchasing... how ever i wish they weren't "just" in select locations... as a EU citizen i would have loved to shop here however the flight price is insane compared to buying locally.
As a European, I can never understand when these videos are made and they say "I've got $1500 to spend so I went to $1497"..... Do they forget about sales tax??
AI will fail until be trained correctly, learn about looking for discounts, bundles, etc. A simple order is given look for a mid-range spec, the AI will do exactly what is given, but us with better experiences and knownledge will make better.

No offense I have followed Jay for years and being an old software engineer I knew Jay had this. Git Gud Kid. 😂 😂 BTW I have also followed you for years and you are more entertaining.
I legit did this already and asked chat gpt what the best build i could do for $800 was lol it picked a cpu that wasnt compatible with the motherboard though 😂
I'd love to have a Micro Center close to me instead of 110 miles away as it would be nice to be able to pick up parts needed then have to do Mail order from New Egg or Amazon. . I am not a fan of their bundle deals as their motherboards are on the low end scale.
it is really hard to watch both of these video's together and making sure i don't spoil their shopping list and the result at 7:50, you can switch to jays video to see why he chose whatever he is choosing
Someday micro center will open a store in Tulsa. It's actually funny. From my house the store in Dallas and the store in Overland Park Kansas are exactly the same distance from me. But one of them takes an extra 15 minutes or so to drive to. But distance wise they are literally the same which is funny.
Isn’t the store in Dallas way smaller like I felt cramped being there and I built my whole system 😭, ohhh but I am surprised they didn’t use the bundle deal they had with that cpu literally it was almost the same price like I paid 540 for my pc with the same cpu.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 I have actually been to both the dallas and the KC store and I think that the KC store is smaller. But the STL store is one of the best. It's huge. Great location.
So great to see Jay bringing his 6 year old son to Micro Center to create a father-son set up. The shots of Austin standing 6 feet in front of Jay aren't fooling anyone. Great video, guys.
Lol, I was just about to mention something similar. Jay looks like a disappointed dad.
I'm just thrilled Austin got rid of his speech impediment, his content was always good, just couldn't stand to listen to him... good work man..
😂😂
Austin, I won your build. I forgot to have you sign it. Thank you and MC for the upgrade. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Nice! Did you upgrade it?
@@xpodxi think they ment that the pc was an upgrade from their last pc
@davidalbee1733 I know, I was wondering if he put more money into it making it faster. Maybe more storage, cable extensions etc
@@xpodx Keeping it the way it is. I have other Pc's that I have built
@@davidalbee1733 No They had to upgrade Austins build to a 7800X3d. At the time of the build, the 7600X3D was not released

I have been waiting for years, finally a Micro Center in my area.

Microcenter should have austin to be their mascot
Watching both videos back to back. 😂😂

It lacks in gaming side That's what he was wanting.
@@marioStortuga it was an ad for microcenter, lol. They have the new 7600x3d exclusive. He knew he would not win the benchmark.
Im glad my friend has a microcenter close to him
This is the longest Micro Center commercial I've ever seen! :P
Nice to see you guys together 🎉🎉
You and Jay together brings out old time vibes ❤
no gaming tests is disappointing!! you're literally buying a mid-range GAMING PC & the 7600x3d is the 2nd best gaming cpu out right now. that's the whole reason people get it
Right!? It would've been cool to see some gaming comparisons
The ultimate crossover
Micro center needs to build a store in my state. I wouldn't need one here if they shipped everything instead of just monitors, storage, like 1 gpu and a few laptops.
Jay said you were awesome, I've subscribed and I'm here to check out the extent of your awesomeness... Rock on!
This was such a cool video (both of yours, I watched both). Do more like this =D
Micro Center seriously needs a store in Raleigh, NC.
This had to be recorded like a month and some weeks before publishing because This store was a mad house when I went on an "early" opening. So glad this is in Florida 👐
This was awesome on both yours and Jayz perspective ❤❤❤
9:35 NICE CARD. Sapphire is my go to. But that thing is slick
They needed to test them with games..racing ones!! 😂
Why is Micro Center selling the Intel 12600KF for $299 and Amazon is selling it for $139
Same, why?
its 129.99 at micro center right now. Maybe a price drop since this was recorded?
300 is with mobo ram and 12600kf
Austin's system reminds me a bit of a newer version of my own. I got a white North with a 5700x 3D and a 6900XT. Actually just bought the 5700x 3D yesterday at a microcenter lol.

This whole video is a Micro Center advertisement.
I want Micro-Center up here in Washington State, Please! I miss PC stores and Electronic stores.

I wish they did gaming benchmarks

anyone know what is Austin's watch in 4:15? Looks like a TAG with some GS like finishing, day window, bracelet
did not know Jay and Austin were around Miami. So close to me.
ohhh nahhh, that boy austin in my city with it. kudos
I would go to micro center if they would just open in Tennessee
My state has a microcenter but they NEED to update it.
Great, long time coming. Welcome to the 305.
store looks fun

I'm ok with ads that are creative and interesting. lol
I wish, we had stores like this in Germany. 😏
Hi austin you are my favourite tech content creator and i love the content you have made recently
I also love seeing commercials for Temu, Wish, micro center ...
This was such a fun video! 🎉

6:43 nice to see Matt making and appear in this Video. 😂
I'm in Jax FL, so now its to decide if the drive is worth for some PC parts 🤣
W Jay & Austin!!!!
Love it! Game, good, Sir!
I’ve found that with AI to get good results you have be specific with what your asking for it to do.
As a European, I can never understand when these videos are made and they say "I've got $1500 to spend so I went to $1497"..... Do they forget about sales tax??
Will never get tired of microcenter vids. I get theyre commercials, but theyre always entertaining
These collaborations are great. 🤣
Look at the nerds standing in the store watching you build a PC lol
I would like to visit the Miami MicroCenter at some point, it looks really nice. I live right by the St. Louis Park. MN location.
We need this store in Ontario Canada lol
i remember when 5-600 dollars was mid range
The prompt was setting AI for failure.
AI will fail until be trained correctly, learn about looking for discounts, bundles, etc.
A simple order is given look for a mid-range spec, the AI will do exactly what is given, but us with better experiences and knownledge will make better.
AI is good start point to look and get some answers, try it yourself! look for Copilot and see for yourself, its free!
Invite someone from the Dan LeBatard Show and see how crazy it gets.
Micro Center is The GOAT
I need Microcenter in my country.
When are these bastards gonna open a store in Phoneix? Lets open a store everywhere else, but here. DAMN you Micro Center!
We need a new gameshow like super market sweep in a micro center
You guys: "look at this! Ohhhh look at that!"
Me, listening with the screen off as I am cleaning laptops at work: :T
Lmao
Austin had 1 million more subs than Jay? Mind blown…
Austin has to record himself. Jay had a camera dude 😮
JTC!!! WHAT IS THIS, A CROSSOVER EPISODE?!?!
No offense I have followed Jay for years and being an old software engineer I knew Jay had this. Git Gud Kid. 😂 😂 BTW I have also followed you for years and you are more entertaining.
The AI never had a chance on winning ...
I wish micro center would come to the wichita, kansas area so i could go into extreme debt!
time to reset the countdown till next Austin vs Jay feat microcenter video
Best Collab 😊
wow this is rare...a vid about not filling a ewaste landfill.

Wish we had a Micro Center in Las Vegas, with Frys closing down all we have had the past few years is Best Buy.
I would take your build over Jayz. Mainly for the better case, PSU. And the Ryzen x3d CPU. Well done. I also prefer the air CPU cooler.
When did a 1500usd build become midrange? Just because the best gaming GPU is 2grand?

I'm in a similar boat. I'm in central/north-ish Nebraska and the overland park store is 260 miles from me and the Minnesota store is 280.
Whats the camera Austin using?
If 7900xt is a "midrange" card.
My 6700xt must've been "found in the dirt range" card then.
Not an Intel fan. AMD win. Great builds/on both sides. I would prefer Austin's.
Microcenter, put a store in the old Las Vegas Fry's. P-P-Please.
This probably would have worked better if they asked the AI to go for the highest scoring system on benchmarks.

God I love that fractal north case. Honestly I like Evans build more.
