He probably had a company build it for him, which is why its 2500, build it yourself get better shit and halve the price

I built it all myself :) took me 15 hours though. it was my first ever build. it technically costs about 3K to build this, but I used a lot of price matching to bring that number down. My cousin convinced me to do the youtube thing. before this video, all my videos were with the PS4's capture card, which was nice but I got tired of the 720p real fast. Whenever I needed to zoom in, you could see all the pixels. my original plan was to go for a 1500$ build with an intel core i5, and a mid-level graphics card, but my cousin convinced me to future-proof it and go with the i7. when my mic broke a few months ago, he went out of his way to get me a professional mic for the channel. I didn't think I could do youtube, but I've gained a lot of confidence over these few months because of the channel. I listed the price, not to show how much I spent, but to show how much I saved lol (which I realize now was pointless cause you'd need to know this entire backstory to understand that) So I deleted that part cause it does come off the wrong way. doesnt it cost more to have someone else build it for you?

Yah it does, ive built several pc's that were at the top of the competition while being able to stay beneath 2g's When I was doing this (for summer money) quad cores and SLI technology were just being implemented on the market, hell I think the one I kept had a quad core was in an oil cooled shell (immersion oil) and had at the time the top of the line geforce, cant even remember, shit had 8 gigz of ddr2 memory (ddr3 just came out and I ordered the 2's before I knew it) I mean this is all well over 15 years ago when money meant something My one question is what made it cost 2500?

Capture Card: Elgato HD60 Pro CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti STRIX Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Hero RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) PSU: EVGA 750w 80 Gold+ Chassis: Cooler Master HAF X Monitor: Asus VX228H SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB that made it 2500 lol the GPU alone was 660$. the CPU was 350$

Yeah how much was the capture card?

It gives conscience to how expensive it was, possibly giving people an idea of how much he's can do with it, which is basically a lot.
