1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,120
maybe the family computer just can't handle fortnite or minecraft the way you

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,759
want or maybe you've just been pulled into the

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,040
rise and hype either way you want a sick

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:18,640
new build to crush the competition

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:21,680
so armed with our 900 u.s budget and our

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,119
sponsorship from NVIDIA GeForce and MSI

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:31,530
thanks guys we're going to be putting together just that

8
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:41,200
when assembling a computer a static free workstation is a must i use a gamer's

9
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:46,320
nexus mod mat and an anti-static ankle strap with me as always then are my

10
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:52,399
multi-bit screwdriver my parts tray my side cutters my needle nose pliers and

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,399
of course a pickaxe

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,800
for our processor we chose the ryzen 5 3600 non-x variant it delivers great

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,920
gaming performance all but eliminating potential bottlenecking so your GeForce

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,680
graphics card can reach its full potential and it has the multi-threaded

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,159
horses to tackle light to moderate prosumer workloads and don't forget

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,680
because all rise and chips are unlocked for overclocking you should be able to

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,280
get a little bit of extra mileage out of it as it ages you can check out our

18
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,400
video where Anthony gave the ins and outs of ryzen overclocking up here when

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:27,600
installing the CPU hold it by the edges and identify the corner with the gold

20
00:01:26,479 --> 00:01:32,799
triangle align that with the corner of the socket

21
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:38,320
that also has a triangle lift up the retention ARM

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,439
place the CPU into the socket no force is required here it should just fall

23
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,680
into place if it doesn't make sure that the

24
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,159
retention ARM is all the way up and reset the CPU

25
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,040
you can make sure it's all the way in by looking at it from the side there should be no gap between the plastic of the

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,680
socket and the substrate of the processor once you've done that go ahead

27
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,119
and lower the retention ARM if you really want to push your CPU to

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:09,039
its limits you'll need a beefier cooler to handle the extra heat but the ryzen 5

29
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,039
3600 does come with an included wraith

30
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,200
stealth cooler which will be enough for anyone who's looking to run at stock

31
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,720
speeds or even do some very light overclocking remove the plastic cover

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,840
that's keeping the pre-applied thermal paste protected if you damage your thermal paste like

33
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,840
we're pretending that we did you can also just apply a dollop of your own

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,920
thermal paste like so the one thing to remember here guys is that it's thermal

35
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,280
pad or thermal paste not both

36
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,840
next remove these brackets from the motherboard

37
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:45,680
then screw the wraith cooler screws directly into the CPU backplate thread

38
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,000
them in lightly then tighten them down in a cross pattern

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,920
for the finishing touch don't forget to plug the fan lead in you can technically

40
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,760
use any plug on the motherboard that you want but if you use the CPU one you

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:02,480
won't end up with an annoying error message when you boot up the system

42
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,640
choosing our system memory or RAM was really simple we just fired up our own

43
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:11,200
video explaining how different RAM speeds affect performance on AMD's ryzen

44
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:15,120
platform you can check that video out here or you can just save yourself 10

45
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,720
boring minutes and pick up a pair of these t-force delta RGB sticks they're

46
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:25,760
not the only good choice but this 16 gig 3 000 megahertz kit is a great balance

47
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:29,760
between price performance and of course that RGB goodness and they're using

48
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:34,319
samsung dies right now which is important for peak performance and

49
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,599
compatibility on ryzen so pull back the tabs on these two RAM

50
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:43,599
slots then position each dim so that the notch on the bottom lines up with the

51
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:48,560
notch in the socket press firmly until the tabs on either

52
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,920
end snap back into place on their own then repeat this procedure if you have

53
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:58,080
another kit with that said unless you need the extra capacity for heavy

54
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,400
workloads one dim per channel is generally recommended for better

55
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:04,879
stability for our build we wanted fast storage and

56
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,400
a lot of it an Intel delivered with the exceptionally affordable 660p NVMe SSD

57
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:16,000
which can usually be found for under a hundred dollars for a terabyte of m.2

58
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:19,199
storage poor hard drives never knew would hit him

59
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,960
install the standoff that's included in the motherboard box in the hole that

60
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,960
lines up with the end of your SSD

61
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,040
then slide the SSD into the m.2 slot

62
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,280
until it's fully seated push down the other end and secure the SSD with the

63
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,440
included screw now before you put all your new hardware

64
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:44,639
in your case i always recommend that you verify that the system posts or outputs

65
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,280
to the display we're going to use everyone's favorite free test bench your

66
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,040
motherboard box so what you do is get your graphics card

67
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:58,880
your power supply and all that good stuff on here then use your screwdriver

68
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,919
to short out the power pins like

69
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,479
so some motherboards actually have built-in

70
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,759
onboard buttons just for this purpose but ours isn't so fancy this time around

71
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,919
once your system posts you can check that everything is detected and detected

72
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,000
correctly you can see there's all 16 gigs of our RAM our CPU shows up

73
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:22,800
correctly so ours worked out of the box but if yours doesn't it's possible that

74
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,400
you have a defective or incompatible component on your hands that's why we do

75
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,240
this ahead of time so you don't have to extract it from the rest of your system

76
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,720
now it's also possible though that you just need to update the motherboard

77
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,400
firmware or BIOS because many of the 400 series motherboards on the market were

78
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,199
manufactured before third gen ryzen cpus were available AMD

79
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,759
has a whole page on their website about this and they've actually got a program

80
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,280
where they'll even lend you an older CPU in order to update before resorting to

81
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,479
that though maybe check with the retailer you bought it from to see if

82
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:58,639
they can help now it's case time

83
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,639
well we're going to take that off and stash it back in the box for safe keeping

84
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,160
you can set the thumb screws aside with the rest of the included hardware

85
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:20,160
next remove the opposite side panel by removing these two screws

86
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:26,400
and sliding the panel towards the rear now guys the spec 05 from Corsair may

87
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:28,479
not look like much but it's got ample

88
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,280
intake space on the front and the bottom panel and a simple but effective layout

89
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,199
for cooling we're going to be pulling air in from the front of the case and

90
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:42,080
exhausting it out the back the front panel has space for three 120 millimeter

91
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,600
fans or two 140s if we take out the three and a half inch drive cage

92
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:49,600
poor hard drives they never knew what hit him

93
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:54,400
and each one of these is gonna need four screws we opted for the lower mounts

94
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,560
since we want that fresh air coming in right over our graphics card but if you

95
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:03,120
are carrying some hard drives over from your previous system you can leave the

96
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:09,440
cage and simply move your fans up we went with some arctic f12 120 millimeter

97
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:12,400
fans now you could probably just use the

98
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:16,240
included fan uh maybe pulling air in from the front and then blowing that

99
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,840
fresh air over the graphics card but it wouldn't be optimal remember kids heat

100
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,240
is bad for our motherboard we chose the gaming

101
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:30,319
plus max b450 from MSI why

102
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:32,960
well because it's fine it has an m.2

103
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:38,639
slot for our storage a gen 3 pci express 16x slot for our graphics card and

104
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,560
black and red it matches our case before we install it though we need to put in

105
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,680
the io shield now it won't ruin your build if you forget it but you know 100

106
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,290
completion right guys press firmly on the four corners of the shield until

107
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,720
they snap into place

108
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,000
then our case has integrated atx motherboard

109
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:02,479
standoffs so all we need to do is hold the motherboard by the heatsink and set

110
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:07,599
it down like so before using the case's included m3 screws to fasten it down

111
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,479
here here here here here here here and here

112
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:15,520
pro tip by the way guys to make your life easier now is the time to connect

113
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:20,560
the front power and reset switches and both the power and drive activity leds

114
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:25,599
right here you should also do front usb 3 and audio here

115
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:30,319
and here now if cable management is important to

116
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:34,800
you now is also the time to route these cables around the back of the

117
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:39,839
motherboard tray to power our rig we chose the evga 700 gd it's gold

118
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,279
certified and you can find it for under 70 bucks

119
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:48,160
now fully modular would have been a nice to have feature but it costs 10 to 15

120
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,480
dollars more without having any real impact on performance so we left it out

121
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:56,240
this time around slide the power supply into its home with the fan facing down

122
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,160
it'll draw fresh air in through the bottom of the case which is filtered and

123
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,160
exhausted out the rear of the chassis creating its own thermal environment

124
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:09,050
separate from the rest of your system then fasten the psu in place with the

125
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,140
included 632 screws

126
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:19,360
we can now connect all our cables so you'll want to run the 8-pin connector

127
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:26,080
behind the motherboard tray for it to come out here

128
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:26,080
and then plugs in right here

129
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:33,760
the 24 pin connector goes into here and then plugs in right here

130
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:39,360
make sure that you go all the way until it clicks by the way and our single

131
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,920
8-pin pci express power cable routes in

132
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,680
here and then up through here and

133
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:49,519
that's it for power oh speaking of power i've got a powerful thirst building

134
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,200
computers ain't easy so don't forget to hydrate

135
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:59,680
lttstore.com we settled on MSI's ventus

136
00:09:55,519 --> 00:10:03,360
oc rtx 2060 6gb graphics card now it may

137
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:05,440
only have a 1.8 overclock but it's got a

138
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:10,240
bigger dual fan cooler than NVIDIA's reference design and a slick looking

139
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:16,519
plastic back plate all without breaking the bank start by removing these two pci

140
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,519
slot covers

141
00:10:23,839 --> 00:10:30,959
align the graphics card carefully with both the motherboards pci express slot

142
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:35,600
and the openings at the back of the case then making sure that the tab on the

143
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,959
back of the slot is open push the card in firmly until the tab snaps shut

144
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,800
then you can put your case screws back in

145
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,399
finally we can plug the 8-pin pci express power connector that we cable

146
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:53,040
managed earlier now this side of the case is thankfully

147
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:56,560
completely opaque so whatever mess you make on the back side will be completely

148
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:02,720
hidden with that said these cable tie loops and the included

149
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,959
zip ties will go a long way towards pinning everything down and making it

150
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:11,839
easier to replace the side panel the one thing that you can't hide is the

151
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:16,399
large mess of wires that are left over from our power supply so if you take

152
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:20,560
some time and neatly wrap these cables up it'll be worthwhile from a dust

153
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:22,560
gathering perspective anyway

154
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:28,640
so with that done secure any loose cables to your liking then close up the

155
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,240
case your build is done time to set it up now i'm just kidding

156
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:35,680
it's bad jeebies to close the panel of a case before you install Windows so we're

157
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,040
going to do that later while we fire up the machine let's talk

158
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:45,519
through our peripheral choices here so this is the dell s2419 hdf and it's a

159
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:48,160
great match for an rtx 2060. it's 1080p

160
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:52,480
144 hertz it happens to be g-sync compatible and it's got one millisecond

161
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,519
response times as for our keyboard and mouse we're not going to talk too much

162
00:11:54,079 --> 00:11:59,360
about those because we've actually got some budget keyboard and mouse roundups

163
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,959
coming so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss them

164
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:07,680
oh cat's out of the bag we've already got Windows on here now moving on to

165
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:11,760
BIOS setup on any newer platform it is important to

166
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,959
download the latest ua5 BIOS from the manufacturer website and flash it using

167
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:22,079
a usb drive once that's done all we need to do is go into our axmp set profile 1

168
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,720
press f10 and enter i mean i guess while we were in

169
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,800
there we can also make sure that our Intel SSD is our first priority for

170
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:35,040
booting that way once Windows is installed or Linux you're not going to

171
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,680
find any judgment here you won't have to go back into the UEFI BIOS to adjust

172
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:44,320
this our next step is to use microsoft's tool to create a bootable usb drive and

173
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,880
then reboot the system while mashing f8 immediately to get to the boot device

174
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,040
selection menu where we can choose that drive once the setup process has begun

175
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:58,480
it's basically just a matter of hitting next next next next until you land on

176
00:12:55,839 --> 00:13:02,000
the Windows desktop once we're there we head to the MSI

177
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:07,279
website to download the latest drivers for our chipset audio and networking

178
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:11,519
devices etc then we head to NVIDIA's page for our latest graphics drivers

179
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:18,560
install your preferred game launcher of choice or launchers i mean it is 2019

180
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:20,480
and then boom creeper gotcha

181
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:25,519
what kind of performance can you expect from a machine like this

182
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:30,040
well that is looking real nice so we are getting anywhere in the neighborhood of

183
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:35,440
low hundreds to 125 130 FPS in this game really liking

184
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:42,240
it and of course the animation smoothness is absolutely

185
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,240
we're running oh wait no

186
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:49,839
as for witcher 3 which is a bit of an older aaa title we've got this cranked

187
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,839
to ultra everything and we're still

188
00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:58,000
getting right around the neighborhood of you know 90 to 100 FPS see ya see ya see

189
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:03,839
ya see yeah that's fine it's not that important

190
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,839
to me whoa look at that look at him go

191
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:11,760
so at this point i think it's safe to say that we can put our side panel on

192
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,519
and call our build complete so in terms

193
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:19,040
of what you can expect from a machine like this 100 plus FPS at 1080p in most

194
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:23,279
modern titles unless you absolutely crank the details so that means with one

195
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:28,639
of these you can feel free to you know frag out and hard carry mid with your

196
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,560
adc or whatever or just enjoy minecraft

197
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:34,800
with rtx on which unironically

198
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:39,120
looks really really cool so thanks to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video and of

199
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,959
course a shout out to MSI AMD Intel evga Corsair team group and dell for

200
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,680
providing the other hardware that we showed
