Terry Crews will be building his first Gaming PC after finding Battlefield 1 "really, REALLY fun".

His parts:

NZXT Phantom 820 case

• Intel Core i7-6800K CPU
• Asus X99 Sabertooth motherboard
• Corsair H100i V2 CPU cooler
• 32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
• 2TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD
• Asus Xonar Essence STX soundcard
• Asus Blu-ray drive
• EVGA Supernova 1000W P2 power supply
• Razer DeathAdder Chroma mouse
• Audio Technica PDG1 headphones
• Corsair K70 Lux RGB mechanical keyboard

There are a few things to note. First, Crews says he purchased all of these items with this money, they weren't sponsored for a shout out. And secondly, you'll notice there's no graphics card. He doesn't mention one in the video, but according to a one of his comments on the Facebook post, Crews picked up a GeForce GTX 1080.

Crews says he got hooked to PC gaming during a Battlefield 1 session with Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg, and other celebrities. Now with the help of someone named "Pony Lion," he's ready to build a system.

He goes on to explain that "this is something I enjoy doing with my son," noting that his kid is a "big time gamer" and that this is something that brings them closer together.

[Crono27]

Always knew he was a smart man. He always seems like a cool dude/dad

 

[Cromwell]

Damn he got a 1080 he knows his shit, that fucking rig is decked out

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Didn't he blow chunks at that Battlefield 1 demo at E3?

 

[Trago]

Damn, that's one of those show off rigs.

Yea I especially liked the part in the video where he said he wanted to learn how to do this to get closer to his son. That's... awesome.

Freaking ninjas throwing onions in my eyes.

 

[iNvid02]

Lol love this guy

 

[terrible]

With a GTX 1080 that's a bit of a beast.

Maybe I'll see him on the Battlefield /badpun

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Did he actually say "PC Master Race" or are you labelling that personally? It's a terrible designation for anyone and I don't think anyone on GAF really enjoys hearing it either.

 

[Tregard]

I bet the password is "yogurt"

 

[JaseC]

His PC is virtually identical to mine. Or at least it would be if Amazon would actually send me the ASUS card it said was in stock.

 

[Corpekata]

He also apparently picked up a Vive.

 

[Wubbys]

Thats a cool dad.

 

[Wagram]

Cheeseburger Eddy is joining the 21st century!

He says it in the video.
He also says he's gonna play Uncharted 4 on it, which confused me.

Man, I wanna be friends with Terry Crews.

He says it in the video.

That's hilarious

who cares, people take those words too serious.

 

[Gintoki]

I guess he mostly built it for his kid

 

[bobawesome]

Didn't he blow chunks at that Battlefield 1 demo at E3?

You don't have to be good at games to enjoy them.

 

[hoggert]

Only the best for the President of the United States of America.

Not like this Terry. Such a stupid ass designation and I say that as someone who sat in his undies and a lab coat and built a computer.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

The fact that he did this cause he actually had fun and saw how can it be a way to spend more time with his son it's awesome.

Not a bad PC either, i would change a lot of those parts tho.

 

[The Argus]

Always liked Terry, cool he's doing this out of love for his son. I'll always remember when my dad spent one of this very rare days off just playing the original NBA 2K with me. That was 16 years ago, shit.

His rig is legit, hope he didn't add any garish LEDs to it.

 

[Hidden One]

Definitely can watch 4K VR porn on that thing!

 

[Lazaro]

Always seemed like a great guy.

 

[rokkerkory]

Ps4k will be better

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Definitely like this dude, always comes off super humble and he's a really talented artist as well.

 

[Gaiaknight]

always seemed like a cool guy maybe i can run into him online.

 

[Rellik]

Didn't he blow chunks at that Battlefield 1 demo at E3?

You have to be good to enjoy playing on PC?

 

[Mudcrab]

Didn't he blow chunks at that Battlefield 1 demo at E3?

 

[DrBo42]

"Audio technique-a." I fucking love Terry Crews.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

lol at the Uncharted 4 part.

This doesn't surprise me, or maybe it does, kind of.

He played a game developer on a TBS show Are We There Yet.

 

[family_guy]

Should have just bought 2 PS4 Neos.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Should have just bought 2 PS4 Neos.

I'm sure he already owns a pair of bookends.

 

[Vanish]

Does it matter? I don't even play on PC but i find the expression funny

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

team X99 mobo, team of champs.

who cares, people take those words too serious.

Seriously. At this point the term is just a joke. People shouldn't be offended by it anymore.

 

[NegativeCero]

Good for him. Looks like that machine is gonna be a beast. Would be cool for him to build it with his son as a little father-son thing if it's his first time.

 

[LelouchZero]

Awesome! Welcome to PC Gaming Terry Crews!

I loved the Battlefield 1 E3 Event, I watched the whole thing live!

 

[Max_Po]

Does it really matter?

I think he says he is building a pc to get closer to his son.


Fan boys...

 

[joeblow]

Definitely can watch 4K VR porn on that thing!

Interestingly enough, I was at a men's event he spoke at and he was saying that his pr0n habit almost destroyed his marriage, but it's all behind him now due to his faith in God.

 

[Vex_]

Seriously. At this point the term is just a joke. People shouldn't be offended by it anymore.

Also, if people actually watched the video linked in the op, they would see he says it in jest. Obviously, he doesn't try to come off in an elitist way about it.

 

[Kindekuma]

I love this! Terry Crews is a great person, I'm glad he's jumping into building a PC that he finds fun and as a bonding moment for his kid.

 

[Lulubop]

Crews is the best.

I think he says he is building a pc to get closer to his son.

That's awesome

 

[K' Dash]

The only way I could love more Terry is if he was in my bed right now.

Lol.

 

[Card Boy]

He did put a optical drive in 2016 though. Get a external drive if you are ever going to play a CD. You would literally use it like 3 times in 5 years.

 

[TheSeks]

Didn't he blow chunks at that Battlefield 1 demo at E3?

And? If he has fun, he'll have fun with the game stats be damned. Battlefield is a series where player skill in terms of KDR doesn't matter. So long as he's contributing to his team and going for the objective and able to out think his opponent he'll be fine.
