Long Term Reviews are not typically something that we do in the tech community. Sure, we benchmark older hardware, but we don't build a PC, use it daily for years, then do a follow up review on it. Join me today where we start the journey for our first Long Term Review on the 2017 i7-8700K $2,000 PC Build.
Note: This is a live stream, it is meant as a real time deconstruction of this build from 2017. Taking apart a PC might not seem all that exciting, but hopefully my thoughts and answers to questions in live chat will provide some unscripted insight into my experiences with this PC.
Following this live stream will be a proper scripted video with this footage edited down to a more watchable format and my thoughts on this PC, what I'd do differently, and what I liked and disliked about it. None of the audio from this live stream will be used.
So there IS a benefit to watching this, even if you've already seen the future video, because my thoughts here will only be here...

These are the parts that were origional included in this $2,000 build, or rather were budgeted for, my actual build was a bit different. This is included for reference during the live stream and for historical purposes. Needless to say, no one should build this in 2020 when Ryzen 3600 exists and i5-10600K exists.
