So guys Karina screen has sent me on a top-secret mission to revive her PC
All she told me is that her pc's in critical condition,so we have to go save it. All right guys, I'm pretty nervous...
Let's see what's going on in here. Oh no...
Guys, our PC has been unplugged. How long has it been like this? Guys, I don't know if I'll be able to save it.
It's been unplugged. We need a power cable stat. Breathe darn you, BREATHE!
It's not gonna make it guys. There's only one thing to do in a situation like this
We need to upgrade this potato into a better PC. Boom...
Oh, look, what is this? Oh, is this a Lenovo Legion Y720 gaming PC. Why yes it is. Well, I guess it is what's up guys?
This is M3RKMUSIC and welcome to Karina's gaming set-up.
Now as you guys may or may not have seen, Karina has streamed before in the past and she's also made a lot of youtube
Videos, but sometimes hardware limitations can make it very difficult to create your content.
But thankfully we have this amazing opportunity to work with Lenovo, and they sent her this amazing PC.
So without further ado, let's take a look at this Lenovo legion gaming pc. So here it is guys
This is the Lenovo Legion Y720 gaming PC one thing
I wanna be able to showcase right off the bat is how to actually be able to see the inside of the PC all you
Have to do is come to the back of the PC and unlock it right here
and then you can click this release button at the top and then you can take this off and once this panel is off you
Can see everything on the inside? So let's talk about what's inside this PC
This PC is powered by an Intel 8th Generation Core i7 processor.
It has 16 gigs of DDR4 RAM.
128 gigabyte PCI-E SSD.
Along with a one terabyte standard hard drive as well for having a lot of extra space, and as you can clearly see the graphics
Card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070. It has 8 gigabytes of vram.
So yeah, I think it's safe to say that this lenovo legion
PC has all the power you'll need to play games, stream and create content. ITS A BEASTTTTT . So here is the front of the PC
You the Lenovo Legion logo which looks really cool
It also has a CD and DVD drive right here. All you have to do is click this button right here
It will open up you can click knology
Yeah, it's always good to have one of those in your PC just in case it has a memory card reader
It has some USBs up front and it also has a headphone and microphone jack and the power button is just right there on top
In the back here. We have some more USBs
We have an ethernet cable plugged in currently for the USBs in the back are taken out by different peripherals
And then you have a ton of different display options because of the graphics card that's in here
We currently have the PC hooked up with a DVI dual link cable because you can get really good resolutions and frame rates
So you also have the option to hook it up with a DisplayPort or HDMI cable
Yeah, I think that pretty much covers the specs getting the panel back on super easy. You just lash it on the bottom right there
Yeah, then you just lock it back up super simple
I actually forgot to mention that has this really nice handle here for picking up the PC and moving it
You see there's a lot of different PC cases. They're very bulky
They're clunky their hard to pick up and this is not one of them. It's actually a relatively small case
It's not that heavy and it makes this really easy to pick up. So that's just another nice bonus for this PC
What's also really nice is the fact that it has this headphone and mic jack in the front and in the back as well that
Way you have a lot of flexibility for your headset or microphone setup aside from just the PC
Lenovo also sent karena a brand new keyboard and a mouse and mouse pad. This is a very nice looking keyboard is completely backlit
So you can easily see your keys and the mouse has this crazy
RGB thing going on and has a really cool pattern on the mouse
And of course, you have to top it off with a mousepad that kind of matches everything
It looks really good. This Mouse right here has two programmable buttons on the side, which is really nice
You can program those to have whatever keystroke you want
It also has a dpi switch on top which can be pretty helpful in FPS games
The only thing I'm not huge on with the keyboard is just how soft the keys are it feels more like a standard kind of
Keyboard, but that just really comes down to personal preference
I might not like it as much but maybe it's something that you'd like now as far as it goes for Karina set up
She hasn't set up a certain way and it actually looks pretty good
But there's obviously a lot of different things that you can do if you really want so you can have your PC on your desk
but we have it on the floor
It's not necessarily smart to have your PC on the floor if it's on a carpet because that can actually lead to overheating
So if you have a carpeted floor, you might want to get off the ground possibly even on your desk
but for Karina setup
It makes most sense to just have it on the ground because there's plenty of space here as far as it goes for streaming
I know there's two monitors here, but that one's hooked up to her consoles
So it couldn't make sense to get an extra monitor and have one of those monitor arms to create a second screen
she would need an extra DisplayPort cable to hook up to that and that can be super helpful for streaming because you can have your
games on one
monitor
and then you can have OBS on another along with your twitch chat and anything else that you don't want showing up I would also
like to point out the
Cable management going on here. I can't really say too much about that because my cables in my room look horrible
So that's something that we can actually both improve on but aside from all that right now. This setup is super clean
I think it's good to go. As far as it goes for playing games streaming or making content for YouTube
I forgot to mention. This is also Ash's room. Ash do wanna come back in Ash oh, there you are. Hi
Ash say hi to YouTube hey buddy. He's licking this. Why are you why are you licking this, huh?
You trying to eat it? Ash he's trying to eat the tripod. Ash. Were you serious?
I'm gonna grab the camera you wanna start vlogging. Ash I
Think Ashe also wants to be a streamer or youtuber but he's just gonna eat all the equipment
So it's probably not gonna work out. So there you have the Lenovo Legion Y 720 gaming PC. Personally speaking
it has a very clean look it's very easy to set up and use and I think having this PC can open up some really
Awesome opportunities for Karina aside from just gaming and streaming and making youtube videos. She also does a lot of other stuff
She's also really into drawing and photography and I have no doubt that that PC will be able to support that as well
Whatever she might want to do creatively with this PC is completely up to her and I'm really excited to see what she does with
it and we'll probably go over more stuff about getting the PC ready getting it ready for streaming content and making content for YouTube as
Well as the general tips and tricks, I would say first things first. What are you planning to do with this PC?
I personally see myself using this PC get back into streaming because my last PC was a potato and it really couldn't do anything
I had to run everything at the oldest versions and made it
Really really hard to like even stream because it caused a lot of game crashing a lot of webcam freezing. It was just horrible
Yeah, if you tuned in to the streams at all
You would have known that the face cam was constantly freezing in the middle of streams. There's like the worst thing possible
It was hilarious, you know when it happened and stuff especially for highlights, but you don't want that happening on stream
I want to put my best effort into whatever I'm doing. So the fact that it was constantly freezing like that
I thought was super embarrassing as far as it goes for like the software end of the stuff. Generally speaking
you want to have everything up to date so that we can get the best performance the best ability and
you had to constantly go back and use an old version of OBS and Elgato because like, you know
You get everything ready? And then the gameplay wouldn't actually show up. So that was horrible
You know, sometimes it would take us
You know anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before streams just to get everything set up and going which is not good
I really love streaming too and it just made me like so
Discouraged because nothing was working and I'm just like I'm done but that's what I felt like when I was recording
I mentioned its cable management. Yeah, I did show it. I'm sorry
But my cables are horrible - it's all good
I also talked about having a second monitor and how that can be helpful as well. You know, it's completely optional
It's up to you
if you want to have a second monitor if you want to the side or above or something for streaming because that can be really
Helpful. Yeah, it should also be pretty easy to play games as well - it has a 1070 in there. That's pretty powerful
It should be able to run games pretty smoothly as well so you can get into PC gaming as well if you want to
Stop checking Twitter OOOOO
Amar's three stuff
For quite a while. This is actually a shared room
This was like half work out room and then half of Karina's, you know, streaming and gaming setup
Which was it's not really right considering the size of the room as well. Oh
Yeah, we got we got Bob the workout dummy's still in here
we cleared out most of the workout stuff and now it's just gonna be her set up so that way she can do whatever she
wants to in here
I think one of the most helpful things about having this new PC and having such a quality bump and just
It's so good
Is that the standard for Twitch and YouTube is higher than ever and it's only getting harder and harder to essentially
jump right into it and
Have all these expectations to have it be a god tier stream or you know gods here quality YouTube content
And it's really hard to do that if you don't have the right hardware
And now you do and that's something that's going to give you a huge quality bump. That's gonna make things a lot easier
So that's really nice. Yeah
I mean it is true
Like the standards have been so higher than ever before you could be doing 240p Minecraft Let's Plays and stuff just for fun
But who knows where that's gonna take you probably no where
Yeah most likely
I mean unless you're into that if you're into watching 240p Minecraft Let's Plays and stuff
I actually like 144 subscribe like 144 144 P. Excuse me. We went we had too big of a quality jump there
So yeah, potato PCs. Out, I've got a brand-new Lenovo Legion PC. It's an absolute powerhouse
It's gonna make it super easy to stream and record play games draw whatever you want to do. And that's just awesome. I
Exactly Im excited
Think that'll pretty much do it
But yeah
