Who has the Best PC at LTT??

privacy. -Yeah, so this one, basically, was... Oh, I don't even know how old he is. I think it was probably six or seven years ago. But I keep it vertical because whenever I do spreadsheets, Excel, or when I do my type of stock trading after or before work, everything is nice and vertical for my charts. - I like the desk mat. - Mm-hmm. - Nothing bad. - Oh my God, Rick! - Fairly good. I'm liking it. Okay, but we'll have to move it aside so we can admire the setup here. This is from the office, right? - Yes, I bought it at a super good price. - How much did you end up paying for this? - 200. - Really?

For Lian Li's desk? - I was actually willing to pay $500, Tyler. - And you have a pretty sick team here. Does it look like an RTX 2080 then? - Yes, 2080 Ti. - 2080Ti. - I was once trying to play "Anno" with you guys and it didn't work, so I had to update. - So what are we looking for here for the CPU? - So that's an 8700K, not overclocked, because I just don't feel like bothering with that. Right now I have the Corsair H150i, but I changed the original fans, so they are ML120, just for RGB, and I like the future maglev technology.

I have them on sale! I think it was on Newegg for about $40 for three. - Oh, that's not so bad. - Yeah, that's actually pretty good. I'm rich enough, maybe in two or three months, to do a full, custom water cooling. (metallic sounds) - That's the sound of a quality water bottle falling to the ground. - It's super good. - LTTStore.com. - (clucks) Yes. (snaps fingers) - Why do you need it so quiet? - I don't know. I just want to do custom water cooling. - You are one of the only ones who has paid close attention to your sound settings. - I had to do that because my old Logitech- (metal clangs) (Jono laughs) - LTTStore.com.

But your gaming rig is just one part of your overall computer setup, right? - Yes it is. Yes. - So this is some kind of media and entertainment center. Now, are you ironically using an Xbox One Kinect? If I find a dance game around here, Jono... - I don't think so. - So even this one looks like a punching machine. So you have an NH-D15 here, Z370, so this is probably, what? Like a 7700K or... - That's an 8600K. - An 8600K! And then you have a 1080 Ti here. - Yes. - Is this your secondary machine? - It's for the wife.

We originally built this for "Fallout '76," but we all know how it turned out. - That's the second time we've heard that today! - Yeah. - You played "Breath of the Wild-" - Yeah. - And then he didn't play it again. - I haven't finished it yet. - Haven't you finished "Breath of the Wild"? -He got so good that he didn't want it to end. - Now, why do you have two PS4s? - Oh, because Jillie and I can also play "Destiny" and multiplayer games like "Watch Dog." But I bought them at a pawn shop. - Basically these are stolen goods. - I have no idea. - It seems quite stolen to me.

Now, I found one that was a bit of cause for concern. Jono, do you have something to tell us? - So I travel at least once a year- - Okay, the first step is to admit that you have a problem. - Okay, okay, that's it. Yes. - Welcome everyone to the rose ceremony, except instead of roses, we will award a Maximus XI HERO gaming motherboard and a Core i9-9900K. This is basically the pinnacle when it comes to gaming, and when paired with the right hardware, it will basically run anything under the sun at frame rates that will blow your mind.

And it can be yours if the judges, that's me, select your setup as the most famous. There were some pros and cons to each of their setups. Jake, yours stood out as by far the geekiest, and I mean that in a very functional sense. No one else would have thought to disassemble his webcam housing to fit between the bezels of his vertically stacked ultrawide monitors. Big credit for that. What slowed your preparation was, frankly, the fact that I had to touch one of your socks. That was the most unpleasant experience of my day. - You got under my bed. - That was the most disgusting experience I had today, and I played Tyler's keyboard. - I think it was a clean sock too. - Was that?

Tyler, the feeling I got from your space was that you were more than just computers and games. You know, your nerdy, fringe and unusual hobbies go far beyond technology. I feel like, you know... You know that club in high school with two or three members? I feel like you were in that club and then you were in the other club that was like that club. - He was probably leading both clubs. -That said, you lost some major points for how brown my hands were after I touched something in your setup. Dude, it was disgusting. - That's fair. - Jono, you had the most skillful setup.

Then you have the desktop PC up and running. You have the blackboard next to you. All your controllers and consoles have a place. You have a place to keep all your games and stuff. I felt like you were too focused on the dog. In fact, you lost points because Cadence was a distraction. - But she is so cute! - Exactly. Honestly, when it came time to determine a winner, it was very, very difficult, because ultimately it came down to who needed it the most. The only thing one of you needed more than anyone else was an incentive.

Tyler, you'll take home a Core i9-9900K and a matching motherboard, come claim your prize. But stop. Until you accept my generous offer to come and help you clean your space, when you come and we take care of that place and clean it to my satisfaction, I will give you your prize. Guys, stay tuned to Twitter because it's happening. Soon. Good? - Yes. This is really a prize for my fiancé. - She really needs it more than you. I can't speak to what she was working on, but she was really great. She has NDA, but it's like...

But what she doesn't have NDA is intel.com/gaming. It's a great place to find out which Intel desktop processor is
