00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.120
maybe the family computer just can't handle fortnite or minecraft the way you

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.759
want or maybe you've just been pulled into the

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:15.040
rise and hype either way you want a sick

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:18.640
new build to crush the competition

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:21.680
so armed with our 900 u.s budget and our

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.119
sponsorship from NVIDIA GeForce and MSI

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:31.530
thanks guys we're going to be putting together just that

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.200
when assembling a computer a static free workstation is a must i use a gamer's

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:46.320
nexus mod mat and an anti-static ankle strap with me as always then are my

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:52.399
multi-bit screwdriver my parts tray my side cutters my needle nose pliers and

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.399
of course a pickaxe

00:00:53.120 --> 00:01:00.800
for our processor we chose the ryzen 5 3600 non-x variant it delivers great

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.920
gaming performance all but eliminating potential bottlenecking so your GeForce

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.680
graphics card can reach its full potential and it has the multi-threaded

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.159
horses to tackle light to moderate prosumer workloads and don't forget

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.680
because all rise and chips are unlocked for overclocking you should be able to

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

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.400
video where Anthony gave the ins and outs of ryzen overclocking up here when

00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:27.600
installing the CPU hold it by the edges and identify the corner with the gold

00:01:26.479 --> 00:01:32.799
triangle align that with the corner of the socket

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:38.320
that also has a triangle lift up the retention ARM

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.439
place the CPU into the socket no force is required here it should just fall

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.680
into place if it doesn't make sure that the

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:50.159
retention ARM is all the way up and reset the CPU

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

00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:59.680
socket and the substrate of the processor once you've done that go ahead

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.119
and lower the retention ARM if you really want to push your CPU to

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

00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:11.039
3600 does come with an included wraith

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.200
stealth cooler which will be enough for anyone who's looking to run at stock

00:02:12.720 --> 00:02:18.720
speeds or even do some very light overclocking remove the plastic cover

00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:23.840
that's keeping the pre-applied thermal paste protected if you damage your thermal paste like

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.840
we're pretending that we did you can also just apply a dollop of your own

00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:31.920
thermal paste like so the one thing to remember here guys is that it's thermal

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:35.280
pad or thermal paste not both

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:37.840
next remove these brackets from the motherboard

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.680
then screw the wraith cooler screws directly into the CPU backplate thread

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.000
them in lightly then tighten them down in a cross pattern

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:53.920
for the finishing touch don't forget to plug the fan lead in you can technically

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

00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:02.480
won't end up with an annoying error message when you boot up the system

00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.640
choosing our system memory or RAM was really simple we just fired up our own

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:11.200
video explaining how different RAM speeds affect performance on AMD's ryzen

00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:15.120
platform you can check that video out here or you can just save yourself 10

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:20.720
boring minutes and pick up a pair of these t-force delta RGB sticks they're

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

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:29.760
between price performance and of course that RGB goodness and they're using

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:34.319
samsung dies right now which is important for peak performance and

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:39.599
compatibility on ryzen so pull back the tabs on these two RAM

00:03:36.959 --> 00:03:43.599
slots then position each dim so that the notch on the bottom lines up with the

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.560
notch in the socket press firmly until the tabs on either

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:53.920
end snap back into place on their own then repeat this procedure if you have

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:58.080
another kit with that said unless you need the extra capacity for heavy

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.400
workloads one dim per channel is generally recommended for better

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:04.879
stability for our build we wanted fast storage and

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.400
a lot of it an Intel delivered with the exceptionally affordable 660p NVMe SSD

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:16.000
which can usually be found for under a hundred dollars for a terabyte of m.2

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:19.199
storage poor hard drives never knew would hit him

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:24.960
install the standoff that's included in the motherboard box in the hole that

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.960
lines up with the end of your SSD

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:31.040
then slide the SSD into the m.2 slot

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:35.280
until it's fully seated push down the other end and secure the SSD with the

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:39.440
included screw now before you put all your new hardware

00:04:36.880 --> 00:04:44.639
in your case i always recommend that you verify that the system posts or outputs

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:49.280
to the display we're going to use everyone's favorite free test bench your

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.040
motherboard box so what you do is get your graphics card

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:58.880
your power supply and all that good stuff on here then use your screwdriver

00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:59.919
to short out the power pins like

00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:04.479
so some motherboards actually have built-in

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:09.759
onboard buttons just for this purpose but ours isn't so fancy this time around

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.919
once your system posts you can check that everything is detected and detected

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:18.000
correctly you can see there's all 16 gigs of our RAM our CPU shows up

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

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.400
you have a defective or incompatible component on your hands that's why we do

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

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:34.720
now it's also possible though that you just need to update the motherboard

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:38.400
firmware or BIOS because many of the 400 series motherboards on the market were

00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:43.199
manufactured before third gen ryzen cpus were available AMD

00:05:41.520 --> 00:05:47.759
has a whole page on their website about this and they've actually got a program

00:05:45.440 --> 00:05:51.280
where they'll even lend you an older CPU in order to update before resorting to

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.479
that though maybe check with the retailer you bought it from to see if

00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:58.639
they can help now it's case time

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

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.160
you can set the thumb screws aside with the rest of the included hardware

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:20.160
next remove the opposite side panel by removing these two screws

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:26.400
and sliding the panel towards the rear now guys the spec 05 from Corsair may

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:28.479
not look like much but it's got ample

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:33.280
intake space on the front and the bottom panel and a simple but effective layout

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

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:42.080
exhausting it out the back the front panel has space for three 120 millimeter

00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:45.600
fans or two 140s if we take out the three and a half inch drive cage

00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:49.600
poor hard drives they never knew what hit him

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:54.400
and each one of these is gonna need four screws we opted for the lower mounts

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:58.560
since we want that fresh air coming in right over our graphics card but if you

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:03.120
are carrying some hard drives over from your previous system you can leave the

00:07:00.479 --> 00:07:09.440
cage and simply move your fans up we went with some arctic f12 120 millimeter

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:12.400
fans now you could probably just use the

00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:16.240
included fan uh maybe pulling air in from the front and then blowing that

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:21.840
fresh air over the graphics card but it wouldn't be optimal remember kids heat

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:26.240
is bad for our motherboard we chose the gaming

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:30.319
plus max b450 from MSI why

00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.960
well because it's fine it has an m.2

00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:38.639
slot for our storage a gen 3 pci express 16x slot for our graphics card and

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

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

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:50.290
completion right guys press firmly on the four corners of the shield until

00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.720
they snap into place

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:58.000
then our case has integrated atx motherboard

00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:02.479
standoffs so all we need to do is hold the motherboard by the heatsink and set

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:07.599
it down like so before using the case's included m3 screws to fasten it down

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:10.479
here here here here here here here and here

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

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:20.560
the front power and reset switches and both the power and drive activity leds

00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:25.599
right here you should also do front usb 3 and audio here

00:08:24.080 --> 00:08:30.319
and here now if cable management is important to

00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:34.800
you now is also the time to route these cables around the back of the

00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:39.839
motherboard tray to power our rig we chose the evga 700 gd it's gold

00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:43.279
certified and you can find it for under 70 bucks

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

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.480
dollars more without having any real impact on performance so we left it out

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.240
this time around slide the power supply into its home with the fan facing down

00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.160
it'll draw fresh air in through the bottom of the case which is filtered and

00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:04.160
exhausted out the rear of the chassis creating its own thermal environment

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:09.050
separate from the rest of your system then fasten the psu in place with the

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:13.140
included 632 screws

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

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:26.080
behind the motherboard tray for it to come out here

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:26.080
and then plugs in right here

00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.760
the 24 pin connector goes into here and then plugs in right here

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

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:41.920
8-pin pci express power cable routes in

00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:45.680
here and then up through here and

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.519
that's it for power oh speaking of power i've got a powerful thirst building

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.200
computers ain't easy so don't forget to hydrate

00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:59.680
lttstore.com we settled on MSI's ventus

00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:03.360
oc rtx 2060 6gb graphics card now it may

00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:05.440
only have a 1.8 overclock but it's got a

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:10.240
bigger dual fan cooler than NVIDIA's reference design and a slick looking

00:10:07.760 --> 00:10:16.519
plastic back plate all without breaking the bank start by removing these two pci

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.519
slot covers

00:10:23.839 --> 00:10:30.959
align the graphics card carefully with both the motherboards pci express slot

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

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:40.959
back of the slot is open push the card in firmly until the tab snaps shut

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:44.800
then you can put your case screws back in

00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:48.399
finally we can plug the 8-pin pci express power connector that we cable

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:53.040
managed earlier now this side of the case is thankfully

00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.560
completely opaque so whatever mess you make on the back side will be completely

00:10:55.040 --> 00:11:02.720
hidden with that said these cable tie loops and the included

00:11:00.160 --> 00:11:06.959
zip ties will go a long way towards pinning everything down and making it

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:11.839
easier to replace the side panel the one thing that you can't hide is the

00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.399
large mess of wires that are left over from our power supply so if you take

00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:20.560
some time and neatly wrap these cables up it'll be worthwhile from a dust

00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:22.560
gathering perspective anyway

00:11:22.560 --> 00:11:28.640
so with that done secure any loose cables to your liking then close up the

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:32.240
case your build is done time to set it up now i'm just kidding

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

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:39.040
going to do that later while we fire up the machine let's talk

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:45.519
through our peripheral choices here so this is the dell s2419 hdf and it's a

00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:48.160
great match for an rtx 2060. it's 1080p

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:52.480
144 hertz it happens to be g-sync compatible and it's got one millisecond

00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.519
response times as for our keyboard and mouse we're not going to talk too much

00:11:54.079 --> 00:11:59.360
about those because we've actually got some budget keyboard and mouse roundups

00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:02.959
coming so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss them

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

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:11.760
BIOS setup on any newer platform it is important to

00:12:09.920 --> 00:12:16.959
download the latest ua5 BIOS from the manufacturer website and flash it using

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

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:26.720
press f10 and enter i mean i guess while we were in

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:30.800
there we can also make sure that our Intel SSD is our first priority for

00:12:28.560 --> 00:12:35.040
booting that way once Windows is installed or Linux you're not going to

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

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

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:48.880
then reboot the system while mashing f8 immediately to get to the boot device

00:12:46.800 --> 00:12:53.040
selection menu where we can choose that drive once the setup process has begun

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:58.480
it's basically just a matter of hitting next next next next until you land on

00:12:55.839 --> 00:13:02.000
the Windows desktop once we're there we head to the MSI

00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:07.279
website to download the latest drivers for our chipset audio and networking

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:11.519
devices etc then we head to NVIDIA's page for our latest graphics drivers

00:13:09.760 --> 00:13:18.560
install your preferred game launcher of choice or launchers i mean it is 2019

00:13:14.959 --> 00:13:20.480
and then boom creeper gotcha

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:25.519
what kind of performance can you expect from a machine like this

00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:30.040
well that is looking real nice so we are getting anywhere in the neighborhood of

00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:35.440
low hundreds to 125 130 FPS in this game really liking

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:42.240
it and of course the animation smoothness is absolutely

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:44.240
we're running oh wait no

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

00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:51.839
to ultra everything and we're still

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

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:03.839
ya see yeah that's fine it's not that important

00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:03.839
to me whoa look at that look at him go

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

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:13.519
and call our build complete so in terms

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

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:23.279
modern titles unless you absolutely crank the details so that means with one

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

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:30.560
adc or whatever or just enjoy minecraft

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:34.800
with rtx on which unironically

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:39.120
looks really really cool so thanks to NVIDIA for sponsoring this video and of

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.959
course a shout out to MSI AMD Intel evga Corsair team group and dell for

00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.680
providing the other hardware that we showed
