What's bad about it? The mouse is awesome, razer or not.

Sure, there are better but the deathadder is still a good pick for gaming.

Its nice but its expensive for the technology within it now, there are more modern censors that beat the deathadder these days, dont mistake me for a razer hater, i like their products but i find their pricing unfair, its like if apple had satisfactory build quality instead of outstanding as they currently do

Why did you make a video saying the headset is shit, and then put the shit headset in the ultimate PC?

 

If it's a joke fine but you could have put an actual headset recommendation in there just saying.

Hm, this is probably the first showcase of the Corsair K70 RGB in a real world scenario and not on an exhibition. I am wondering if it's Linus' favourite type of switch - MX Brown or the sort of expected to be available somewhat soon MX Reds.

This ultimate build guide is for folks who want a truly beast surround gaming experience. 4K is a hot buzzword right now, but if immersion is what you're after, three 2560x1440 (2.5k) monitors in a surround config might be a better bet for you... Too bad it's also much more demanding to run than a single 4K display!
 
 
 
I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them   :)
 
I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps   :)
 
 
CORE COMPONENTS
 
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K Unlocked Quad Core Processor with HyperThreading
 
SSD: 1x Intel 730 Series 240GB SSD
 
Hard Drive: 1x WD Black 4TB
 
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z97 MK1
 
Case: NZXT H440 "Razer Edition"
 
Video Card: Dual Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB Windforce Cards in Crossfire
 
RAM: 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133MHz Dual Channel DDR3
 
Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i
 
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013
 
Keyboard: Corsair K70 RGB
Direct Link: 
 
Headset: Streets by 50 On Ear Star Wars Edition
You should probably watch this video if you're trying to figure out where to buy these...
 
Monitor1: ASUS PA279Q 60Hz 2.5k LCD
 
Monitor2: ASUS PB278Q 60Hz 2.5k LCD
 
Monitor Stand: Ergotech Triple Horizontal Stand with Telescoping Wings
NCIX: n/a
 
Cooling Components
 
CPU Heatsink: Swiftech H220-X

Where did you get that pad that shows all the different PC parts and CPU sockets?

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
