The Best Prebuilt Gaming PC? #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin this is the

coarser 1 Pro a $3,000 gaming PC but is

it worth it

big show that's of course they are

presenting that side a little bit early

so the Corsair 1 launched a few months

ago however this is the new pro model

with a gtx 980ti so it's not a huge box

what we're getting here is a very

powerful gaming PC and that is actually

really small ok so one of the things you

should know about the Corsair 1 is that

it is water-cooled which is part of the

reason why they're able to get so much

hardware and such a uniquely shaped

chest the footprint of the one is

actually smaller than a lot of gam

ing

consoles what you're trading off here is

it's just a very tall system but I think

for a lot of pcs that's really not going

to be an issue it also is pretty much

entirely made of metal so heavy before

we get too far into it let's see what

else we have in the box which doesn't

seem like anything at all yep a power

cable it should give you a lot of great

accessories with your brand new 3000 all

ganging PC but wait hang on hand I'm

sorry I was wrong there is a dual band

Wi-Fi antenna so you know it's all an

accessory pack so I am really curious to

see what's inside the Corsair one from

the front you don't have a whole lot is

basically just a power button as well as

the USB port an HDMI presumably to make

the TR set up easier what's interesting

is both on the left and right side you

can see this thing has massive radiators

I gotta say I actually like the look of

this a lot of course Corsair has made

more than their fair share of RGB stuff

but with this we're getting something

that's a little bit more understated on

top you have a fairly large metal grate

with what I assume is a 200 millimeter

fan there's also this button which when

I press it the whole top panel actually

comes off so it's still cabled in here

of course I get a new PC and I'm

literally taking it apart immediately

inside you'll find me 500 watt small

form-factor power supply as well as the

rear of the graphics card so it's

interesting is it actually has all the

HDMI display ports cables coming out of

it because obviously no one's plugging

stuff in to the top of the system move

around back and then I do have the power

lead but also all the video outputs that

are being routed from the top of the

case and also click it has a fairly

standard looking motherboard here which

is also where you plug in the Wi-Fi

antenna as a $3,000 gaming PC you would

hope

has pretty small specs and it most

certainly does not disappoint and one of

the nice things about the one Pro that

is actually really easy to work on so

press one button to pull off the fan as

well as the shroud take out two screws

you have access to the full system

inside it has an Intel Core i7 7700 K

and what's nice about this thing is that

is going to be fully water coolers own

dedicated radiator you can also get a

look at the MIT X motherboard as well as

these 32 gigabytes of memory that's

installed now I really do appreciate

just how easy it is to actually work on

this it's also walking a 480 gigabytes

nvme SSD as well as a 2 terabyte hard

drive take two more screws off the top

and we get access to the graphics card

so of course here is going all out here

so this is the gtx 980ti

and again it's also going to have a

custom water cooler on it now what's

interesting about the design here is

that there's going to be a thin 240

millimeter radiator on either side of

the system so essentially it's doing is

it's using this 200 millimeter fan on

the top to pull air up and in through

the system and exhaust without the top

kind of like the Mac Pro I'm going to

give Corsair big props this is a very

thoughtfully designed system but of

course the big question is can it

actually gain spoiler alert with a gtx

1080i and a core i7 to start with gaming

we have GTA 5 now here running on the LG

ultrawide monitor at 38 40 by 1600 with

basically all the settings cranked up

the 1080i has no problem running this at

anywhere between 80 to 100 frames per

second which of course should be no

surprise considering that this is like a

$750 graphics card now of course I want

is generally pretty quiet you can hear

that spinning up a little bit right now

under full load but considering this is

a very small form-factor water-cooled PC

it's not bad

moving on we have dirt 4 so Codemasters

always does a good job with their PC

games and this is no exception here

running at full resolution and pretty

much all the things totally cranked up

where anywhere between 50 to 60 frames

per second I've got to say with that

1080i and this huge nice display this is

a really cool experience

so ashes of the singularity you might

not be the most popular game in the

world but it's one of my favorite games

to benchmark new systems so another does

it take advantage of DirectX 12 but it's

really nice and here with basically

everything cranked to high settings the

full resolution really anywhere between

50 to 60 frames per second I know a game

that can definitely take advantage of

the Corsair 1 Pro

this Deus Ex mankind divided now running

onto ultra wide we're getting anywhere

between 60 to 70 frames per second on

high settings MEDLINE does this game

look great on the display but more

importantly it really does go to show

just how nice a game can look once you

have some serious 1080i power so is it

worth it it's $3,000 this definitely is

not a cheap system if you wanted to

build a similar spec yourself you'll be

able to save about $600 however what

you're giving up here is not only the

small form factor case but almost more

importantly all the water cooling that

makes it all work it's going to be

difficult to build a small form factor

system with this level of power almost

regardless of price and you also do get

a two-year warranty as well as the

simplicity of being able to pull it out

of the box and be good to go

there are also models of the Corsair one

that are a bit cheaper in torreón years

overkill so if you're looking for a

small form factor system like this I'm

going to say it's a lot better than I

expected so what do you guys think about

the Corsair one pro let me know in the
