- Cyberpunk came out about two minutes ago.
So, we have built an
ultimate gaming PC
to see exactly how far we can push the game.
So, let's see exactly what an RTX 3090 can do
when it's paired up with the best that team blue
has got to offer.
So, starting out with, we have
the MSI MPG SEKIRA 500X case.
So, MSI has a number of different lines starting with MEG
on the high end, which is for enthusiast gaming
that's usually where you get like the very high end stuff,
but also they have their MPG line
that is meant as the MSI performance line of gaming products
and that's usually where you're gonna find
the best price to performance worth getting
some high-end gear without breaking the bank.
But they also do have MAG which is MSI Arsenal Gaming.
This is very heavy.
(grunts)
And MAG is where you get some more
of the entry-level components
when it comes to building your gaming PC.
So, not only does this have a removable bracket
for your radiator,
which we're gonna be using a 360 mil radiator.
But on top of that,
you also have a very nice little bag its in.
Woo. Oh, dude wait.
Oh, no.
It's a glass rear panel,
which means we have to do cable management.
So, we've got five fans pre-installed,
are you kidding me?
Oh, yeah.
It has four LED fans and a chassis, right?
So, four LED fans plus one non LED.
So, powering the build,
We have the CORSAIR HX 1000.
I will say,
I haven't spent a lot of time with
the 10th gen i9,
but I have heard rumors and stories
that it will suck up about as much power
as you can throw at it,
which is nice because we have a 360 mil radiator to cool it.
All right.
So, we're just gonna drop the power supply in for right now.
We'll plug in our cables later.
Next up, we have the MSI MEG Z490 ACE.
Now, this should have pretty much everything we need,
including not only a 16 phase power design
but we also have dedicated FROZR coolers
for our M.2 SSDs.
And wow, that's...It's got some heft.
So, not only do we have 2.5 gig ethernet
but we also have wifi six built-in,
which is certainly nice.
And you do have coolers
for three M.2 drives, which is nice.
We're only gonna be taking advantage
of one for this video.
On the CPU side,
we have the latest Core i9-10900K.
Now, while yes,
AMD versus Intel is a fun subject right now
but this is as high as it gets on the Intel side.
So, we've got a 10 Core CPU
that can clock up to 5.3 gigahertz.
That's a nice package.
I'll give them that.
Just set this right here.
Okay.
And so with that,
we have our 10900K installed.
Next up, we'll follow it up
with 32 gigs of CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro RAM.
I'll say actually,
for a lot of the builds we've been using this year
the RGB pro has actually been really nice.
And even though it is completely
and totally unnecessary for what we're using this PC for,
we do have only two dents here
which means that we can easily upgrade to 64 gigs.
If for some bizarre reason we want to.
Here we go, 32 gigs. DDR4 memory.
Look how easy this is.
It's almost as if I've done this before.
Next up, we have the CORSAIR MP6000.
Again, this is something that we've used a couple times
in the past.
I think we have two of these in our
ultimate AMD system.
Two terabytes of pretty much the fastest storage
that money can buy.
This thing will read at almost five gigabytes per second.
And one of the nice things about this
is that it actually should be able to,
even though it obviously shapes this very large heat sink.
I think we actually take that off
and install it right here,
because I believe
that this heat sink here should do the job.
Put the camera down.
I definitely didn't just screw this up
and now I have to gently extract it.
I slightly misaligned it, okay?
So, the plastic shield removed.
We should be able to just rotate this around
and drop it right back into place over the top of our SSD.
All right.
I think that'll do it, okay.
So, with our CPU, our RAM and our SSD installed,
next, let's actually get this thing installed into our case.
All right.
Cool.
So, that looks pretty much lined up.
Now, we have our motherboard in place.
That is starting to take shape.
Next, let's get the biggest of the chunguses of them all,
the RTX 3090.
With a ridiculously high TDP,
I think three, eight pin GPU,
like PCI connectors to power this thing.
I mean, it is a monster.
So, this is the RTX 3090.
So, the entire thing is cooled by
the TRI FROZR three design.
Which you can see
if you look at that heat sink, it's a very unique design.
You also have the TORX 4.0 fans
and you've got those direct heat pipes
which you can kind of see
if you look in here.
But it is enormous.
I mean, it is hard to put into words
just how big and beefy this graphics card is.
So, depending on how you wanna do this build,
you actually can use a vertical GP right here.
So, it comes with everything you need
and has a little slot.
Personally, I still like the look
of a GPU that's mounted traditionally quote, unquote,
directly into the board.
But that is an option
if you wanna go for it.
Now, with half our PCI slots out or over half of them,
let's install the 3090.
So, essentially this bracket still allows you
to use the bottom PCI slots
but it gives you a lot more support
'cause this card is heavy.
Yeah. There we go.
I'll definitely tan tighten that one.
Next up, we have to cool our 10900K.
So, that is where this comes in,
our removable radiator bracket.
So, we have a 360 mill radiator for this,
but the question is gonna be,
how are we going to mount airy?
So, this is the MAG CoreLiquid 360R.
So, with that 360 radiator,
we're pretty much taking full advantage
of the top part of this chassis.
And it does have the RAGB fans.
What I'm really curious about is
how we're gonna get this mounted.
So, first thing, let's get the fans on this plate
and see how the fitment is.
I think it'll be fine.
And then if it looks good, I'd say let's cable up everything
and actually drop it on the CPU.
All right.
So, I have the radiator mostly all set.
So, it looks a little bit of a mess right now
but essentially we have all of our fans
connected together, all daisy chained up
and then I've got the low noise adapters.
So, we'll just plug this straight into the CPU fan.
And then behind that, I've got a couple of other cables run.
Now, while I've been doing that,
Ken flipped over our top 200 millimeter fans.
So, originally these were designed to do intake
through the top, which makes sense if we were gonna
be running without a radiator.
But because we have the radiator,
I'd rather have the air kind of flow up.
So, it goes through the fans, through the radiator
and then exhausted out through the top.
So, since we have a push-pull configuration,
plus we have these big RGB fans,
which are gonna look cool.
So, we're gonna have our RGB fan up front,
here, three here, two on top.
And then we will have RGB on the case
and maybe a little bit on the board.
I haven't actually fired it up to see.
And then on top of all that,
we're gonna have Core i9, 3090, 32 gigs of RAM,
two terabyte SSD,
1000 watt power supply.
I think this is actually gonna look really cool.
(upbeat music)
So, this is the completed MSI gaming PC build.
So, since we last spoke, we have a couple of updates.
So, we did end up going with some extensions
to get some slightly nicer looking cable management.
We also tuned everything with surprise, surprise,
the red, white, and black theme.
Which I think actually goes really well
with the colors of the system, right?
I mean, you've obviously got like the white MSI logo here.
We've got our CORSAIR RAM.
We also did some tweaking
to try to get the levels of everything right.
The 3090, that LED is bright.
That's at like 20% brightness right there.
But I think it's pretty well sorted.
What are my favorite parts of the system now
that we've got it all up and running?
Listen to this,
it's almost dead silent, which is really nice
especially considering that we've got
serious hardware in here. Right?
So, why don't we jump in to some Call of Duty, shall we?
And see... Oh, I guess I'll play campaign.
So, it should be a surprise to exactly no one,
they were going to be playing on full ultra settings
with ray tracing enabled.
So, we're already using the MSI 34 inch gaming monitor,
which actually has some really nice features.
Not only is it 21 by 9 and 144 hertz.
(indistinct) Actually have an integrated camera mount,
so you can do things like streaming right off the monitor.
You also have this little bungee for cable management,
specifically for your mouse or maybe your keyboard.
You've got a webcam,
as well as an ambient light sensor
to adjust things like brightness,
and you have your RGB strip on the bottom.
So, even with full ultra settings, retracing, all enabled,
we're still getting like 100 frames per second right now.
And obviously, that's a testament to how ridiculously
overpowered this 3090 is.
Welcome back to present day.
So, Cyberpunk has come out about five minutes ago
since we started recording this video.
So, let's see exactly what we can do with the 3090
and with that i9.
High, high, high, high.
Ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra.
I want this to psycho.
Disable copyright music.
Nice touch.
All right, we'll turn that on.
I think besides that, we're good to go.
So, let's see how the system that we've built,
the ultimate MSI system, can handle Cyberpunk.
We're pretty much at 60 FPS
with anything on psycho, including the ray tracing.
This game is so demanding when it is flexing a 3090.
Oh, there we go.
Dude, this looks so good.
And we're nearly 70 FPS.
They're like flexing that ray tracing too.
It might not be quite as noticeable when it's daytime,
but you can see how like natural the light looks.
But just how filmic everything is
like the softness really does give it a lot more
of that sort of like realistic look.
I might sound really lame right now, acting like,
"Oh, look at all the shadows and the stuff."
But the thing is,
Cyberpunk is, in my opinion,
one of the real true next gen titles, right?
Sure. This is available
for like the X-Box One, the PS4 and stuff.
But specifically here on PC,
this is the ultra, this is the max.
This is where you can really flex,
not only the game,
with some of these next gen visuals,
but importantly, you can flex your hardware, right?
I mean, we're looking at an RTX 3090, a Core i9.
And even that is really what you need
to get this sort of psycho high-end
ultra level of performance.
So, thank you very much for watching.
Feel free to check out all the parts that we use
for this built in the description.
And again, huge thank you to MSI for sponsoring this video.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm gonna go play more of this,
without spoiling it for you.
If I can figure out how to drive the wrong direction.
