Here's an idea - build a pc, and have people buy raffle tickets. Give the pc away in the raffle and use the money as a boost to get to Taiwan. I'll pop $50 into a raffle to stand a chance to win a mid range pc anytime.
Good idea
I personally go to this channel for advice. He seems pretty knowledgeable and isn’t corrupt.
I was ur 100 like thx for the tips btw helped me alot trying to buy a 1k prebuilt to edit and stream
Brae, just wanna thank you again for helping pick out the parts for my new PC. Micro Center did a damn good job building it, and I now have a well ventilated beast of a rig that was probably about $800 less than an equivalent from a pre-built.
Happy to hear it!
Thanks for your help earlier on your live stream. Sorry to be a thorn in your side! I essentially wanted to find out the minimum viable solid setup for my needs as a baseline, and go up from there if that makes sense. And i had no idea how the structure of your stream worked...i joined the stream, filled out the form, and was literally next in line without having any previous knowledge that you actually would spend the time to build a pc. Perhaps a "minimum viable $" option would be good to include on the budget portion of the spreadsheet. I'd like to come back to a future stream of you'd have me. I'd also like to donate to your China trip and will do so.
I just found your channel and I love how much you talk about sky tech. I just got the Arkangel 4.5 and would love to see you do upgrades on sky tech prebuilts when you go about showing how to swap parts in the future :)
Kool purchase. I got the Blaze 4 mini myself.
Great video! Appreciate it.
I literally just ordered my CLX pc, oh well. I'm new to this pc stuff, so I wouldn't have known there was a large tech event dedicated to this.
You have 30 days to return it no questions asked. Can always say the computer runs too hot, or the fans are too loud to get a RMA.
I have 2k for prebuilt! Just wanna use it for everyday browsing, CZcams creation and streaming 👀👀
What do you think the price range is for a pc that can run pretty big games with mods? (Cyberpunk, Red dead, Fallout) I just want something for my personal gaming use that’s gonna handle games without issues.
Hi my name is mike I am looking for a pc that I can run 1440 on high setting . What would u recommend

Seems really overpriced for those specs tbh. Pretty sure Starforged PCs have their highest end PC with the same if not better specs for a lower price and it also has a 2 year parts and warranty + you can opt to watch them build the entire thing live on stream to ensure everything is done right.
With that said, even starforged is a tad expensive. So realistically you could save even more money for the same specs if you just go the custom route on iBuyPower. Though, they only give a 1 year warranty. You could also go to Alexander PCs and sacrifice a small amount of specs for the same price but you'll get a full lifetime parts and labor warranty. Which is kind if insane.
I will be honest with everyone, I was between redux, nzxt and skytech for my pc and honestly all 3 were good options, but in the end I chose skytech and I am more than happy with them, because apart from giving me the parts I wanted, they put my pc together live on twitch and I could see how they did it and also they took my suggestions and made it the way I wanted it. It was a fantastic experience and I could trust them to make my pc. For me skytech was definitely a good choice.
You probably overpaid then.
@@miqotelover no, it was even cheaper than buying from redux or nzxt, skytech had better aio cooler too, and cases
I also bought a Skytech Azure 2 like 6 months ago and have been really happy with it as well. I haven’t had a single issue or crash or really anything. Even when I messaged customer support about a few questions they responded within 24 hours so that was a big thing for me.
@@brentbunn754 Yeah buying prebuilts have come a long way in a good way for consumers, but you really have to know what's a good deal or not.
Is that a Urameshi picture in the background???
I built a system like the auxilia last week with a slightly better gpu and more ram with almost identical specs to everything else in their amd variation for 700 dollars. No lifetime warranty though. I totally fucked up.
I just bought the SkyTech Prism
That's not bad, Cyberpower had the same specs on one of their PCS. However, it was only $2500 with 64gb of ram and 4TB SSD.
@@miqotelover
I'm Happy With This One
Although I Spent An Extra 225 Dollars To Upgrade It With CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MHz CL40 Intel XMP iCUE
Is the archangel upgraded version with the 4060ti 16gb with a ryzen 5 7600x a good deal for 1,349.99
How do you like it so far and if you play is it good for warzone gaming
🙂 sure, wait for black friday
I find it really strange how you recommend brands like Alexander PCs. Their prices are atrocious. You get an i3 12th gen and rx 6600 for $1000.
I mean if you watched the vid he literally explains why he recommends them for example because of their lifetime warranty
@tylerallen7617 that's stupid
@tylerallen7617 that's the most stupid thing I've hear all year
If you just look at CPU, GPU, and the dollar amount, sure. It doesn't sound like a great deal. If you want the best deal possible, build it yourself. You can hear me mention this in the disclaimers chapter.
The price, as I mentioned, includes a lifetime warranty. It also includes domestic shipping. Look at the motherboard, RAM, PSU, storage, etc. None of them are bargain bin parts. Would you prefer I just talk about systems that are at the lowest price possible because everything except the CPU and GPU are the cheapest possible options?
I talk about a variety of SIs. Alexander PCs has 100% positive testimonials on our discord, something only they can claim. They're a boutique builder that made a $1K system because they want buyers to be able to get their quality even on a budget.
Value is subjective. If someone else thinks it's a good value and you disagree, that's fine. To each their own.
@@braethorn not sure what you mean. Skytech and other SIs with much better pricing use gold rated power supply's, tower air cooler with 4 heat pipes, the motherboards are from name brands like ASUS, and the cases are pretty nice especially with ibuypower cases.
