PC Master Race Tries to Beat Xbox Series X

The new lineup of consoles is a pretty sweet deal when you consider the price and performance, but can we build a gaming PC that can thwart these well-optimized gaming boxes? We’re sure going to try!

Linus: "I am getting absolutely destroyed by bots right now"

Me who is looking for a 3080: I'm right there with you man

[akikzza]

"AND anthony" really shows you how much faith even linus puts in him

[christopherwood]

I am so glad that consoles can now give this performance for so little money. It puts strain on the pc manufacturers to give better quality parts for the same price and pushes innovation

[JMUDoc]

Me, a 1070 owner:
"Maybe I don't need that 3060 after all..."

[sempy]

What I took away from this video being: That the Xbox Series X is a really good price

[chrisjor]

This makes me miss the olden 'scrapyard wars' days

[hausy]

I like both consoles and pcs. I enjoy that consoles are almost purely gaming devices while pcs are able to do a ton more, and it’s just fun to mess with them. I tend to play a lot of strategy games, RTS, 4X and management games on PC while I like RPGs on console. I like it all lol.

Me: "Oh here we go again"

[rubenschaer]

Linus: A 1070 for $200.
Ebay: "for parts only"

[stuartbrown]

I'm extremely happy with my Series X. I think it's a great amount of performance for the price. I know you can make a PC with better performance, but the Xbox does it in a nicely optimized package

[toxicpyro]

Everyone: Hey Linus How do you make a cheap pc in this day?

Linus: *C H I N A*

[RizzyWow]

“From Ali Express” yeah we’re done here.

[PedanticProfessor]

7:52 It has 12 virtual RAM slots for the option of downloading additional RAM.

[callumburke]

As much as I love PC's, for gaming on a budget there is no way I could recommend PC gaming. The new generation of consoles are fantastic value and with croasplay becoming more available I don't really see any reason to get a PC unless you have a pretty large budget.

[BorodaGaming]

3:15 Thats the Crew I want to see more on this channel, even with content about trying to boot "compatible" parts

"YouTube is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits"

[heroclixrz]

Man, doom eternal is so well optimized, it's almost a bad benchmark.

[MrLordrex]

With current prices, makes a lot of sense to throw an rx 6600 in this kind of build since it's going for roughly $200
