1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:06,480 what build guides are back my friends it 2 00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:13,120 has been over a year and in that time you've managed to 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:18,439 build up a th000 bucks that's burning a hole in your pocket maybe you've been 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:23,199 grinding for Gil at the local McDonald's working late at the office or perhaps 5 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:29,359 you've been up to some slightly shadier stuff like trading skins in CSG go but 6 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:35,440 enough of your life story you're wondering about the best way to turn 7 00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,920 that cash that's my keys not my wallet 8 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,250 cash into a gaming computer and we've 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:01:02,819 got you covered 10 00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:11,759 okay so it has been a while but I'm pretty sure I remember all the stuff we need 11 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,759 screwdriver perfect 12 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,400 pliers pliers a pair of side Cutters a 13 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:25,560 magnetic Parts tray if you want to stay organized and of course the anti-static 14 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,799 strap that I am always definitely 15 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,200 actually wearing on my ankle when we shoot these guides 16 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:37,200 for our CPU we've gone with the core 17 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:40,479 i57500 this quad core hits a sweet spot 18 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,600 in Intel's lineup it boosts up to 3.8 19 00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:46,000 GHz making it great not just for gaming 20 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,799 but also for productivity and even like content creation and stepping up to the 21 00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:57,520 I5 7600 means paying 20% more for only a 9 22 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:04,399 1 12% clock speed increase something we wanted to avoid for a value op optimized 23 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,399 build like this one first things first 24 00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:12,280 make a safe workspace out of the motherboard box then line up the Golden 25 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:18,040 Triangle on the corner of the CPU with the imprinted triangle on the CPU socket 26 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,480 cover then undo the retention ARM by 27 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:28,080 pulling it away from the socket then lifting carefully place the CPU onto the 28 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,560 LGA 1151 socket with no Force give it a 29 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,560 little wiggle to ensure a snug fit and finally replace the retention ARM 30 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,640 the socket cover will pop off on its own put that somewhere safe cuz you might 31 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:46,640 need it again in the future our cooling Choice was pretty straightforward be 32 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,400 quiet sponsored this guide but seriously 33 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:54,040 we chose the dark Rock 3 in particular because it's overbuilt for our CPU 34 00:02:51,879 --> 00:03:00,280 keeping our finished system nearly silent and it's going to look through 35 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:07,000 the window of the purebase 600 case that we found bundled with it for a fantastic 36 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:08,959 price to install we first apply a rice 37 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:13,360 siiz blob of thermal compound in the middle of the CPU then we flip the 38 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:18,519 motherboard over and Orient the back plate so that these screws sticking 39 00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:22,040 through are aligned with these 40 00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:24,159 cutouts next place these weird shaped 41 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:30,080 screws through the holes on the back plate flip the motherboard back over and 42 00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:36,439 slide these little c-shaped plastic Clips onto the bottom of each post next 43 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:40,760 you'll need to screw on this piece holding it in place on the front while 44 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:44,439 you screw it in from the back and then you'll need to secure the hold down 45 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:50,000 brackets to the base of the heat sink using the included M3 46 00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:52,319 screws at this stage you might need to 47 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,640 reapply any thermal compound that you accidentally wiped off while you were 48 00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:01,439 flipping the motherboard around and you'll want to remove the sticker from 49 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:07,720 the base of the heat sink leaving this on would be a big problem finally I'll 50 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:12,879 line the heat sink with the screws such that the fan will be blowing towards the 51 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,200 back of the case and carefully lower the 52 00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:22,120 heat sink onto the motherboard kind of like so this last part is a little bit 53 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:25,080 tricky but you need to thread this nut 54 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:31,240 onto this little stud and then tighten up the screws from the back the cherry 55 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:36,800 on top is cable managing the CPU fan connector and plugging it into the four 56 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:39,240 pin CPU fan header on the 57 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:43,840 motherboard buying memory for a budget build like this one is pretty 58 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:49,000 straightforward just choose whatever dual Channel ddr4 RAM is on sale at the 59 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,120 time you're building it from a reputable brand like Corsair if you have a 60 00:04:51,440 --> 00:05:02,000 windowed case like we do then choose whatever sexy RAM is on sale at the time 61 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,880 this 16 gig of vengeance lpx ddr4 2400 62 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,680 should be more than enough for the next couple of years and it features a 63 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:13,840 lowprofile heat spreader design for optimal compatibility for installation 64 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:19,199 pull back the tabs on the end of the RAM slots then when you realize you've got a 65 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:24,360 bit of a clearance issue refocus your attention on the heat sink just remove 66 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:30,840 the wires on the fan move it up a little bit and put them right back into place 67 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:35,960 then line up the notch in the RAM with the little knobby in the slot then put 68 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:41,199 the RAM gently in place and give it a little push on both ends until the tab 69 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:45,720 pops back into position rinse and repeat for the number of dims you have making 70 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,880 sure that matching pairs go into the same color slots the rationale for the 71 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:57,479 case besides of course be quiet! sponsoring this video is that for $100 72 00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,680 it's a darn good deal featuring two pure 73 00:05:57,479 --> 00:06:03,280 Wings fans built-in fans be control and 74 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:10,919 grommets for easy Cable Management oh and most importantly there is the super 75 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:14,080 sexy tempered glass window I mean it's 76 00:06:10,919 --> 00:06:17,440 2017 baby and tempered glass always puts 77 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:20,800 a smile on my face we chose the ASUS 78 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:26,680 B150 plus motherboard mostly because of 79 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:29,000 its low cost it's not a high-end product 80 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:34,360 and lacks what we would consider to be some Fair basic features such as 81 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:41,280 overclocking support a heat sink for the power delivery and even an HDMI or 82 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,840 DisplayPort output but it's got USB 83 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:49,840 type-c and solid upgradeability with 84 00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:53,000 support for AMD Crossfire NVMe m.2 ssds 85 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,840 up to seven total expansion cards as 86 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:00,400 long as a few of them are PCI and our CPU isn't overclockable anyway so the 87 00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:06,000 first step as much as I love seeing my reflection 88 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,400 in the glass is to remove the side panel 89 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:14,919 and put it somewhere safe where it won't get knocked over and break make sure you 90 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:19,479 keep all the screws in a part stray or some other location where they can't be 91 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:24,280 knocked away we couldn't figure out how to make installing an IO Shield 92 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:27,479 interesting so put it in from the back 93 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,800 like so and add fire make sure it's 94 00:07:27,479 --> 00:07:34,160 snapped into place next next holding the 95 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,520 motherboard by the CPU heat sink place 96 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:42,639 it into the case and then tighten the six screws here here here and here or 97 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:46,720 actually one benefit of this case is that you only have to put in five since 98 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:52,080 the center of the board is held in by a little nubbin now it's time to plug in 99 00:07:49,159 --> 00:07:59,000 the front panel connectors HD audio plugs in here so does USB 3 and then 100 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:06,520 next is the front panel connectors which go in a little like so the positive ends 101 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:09,280 are on the left for our power supply we 102 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:13,560 went with the B quiet pure power 10 600 watt its 80 plus silver efficiency and 103 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:19,120 high output capacity mean that it will run cool and quiet with room for future 104 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,840 expansion it's also semi modular and painted black to match the inside of our 105 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:29,639 case which is critical of course in the tempered glass era inside the power 106 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:34,399 supply box you'll find all the modular cables you'll need we grabbed one with 107 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:41,200 three SATA connectors and another with PCI Express as well as some cable ties 108 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,000 and five screws huh conveniently be 109 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:48,000 quiet includes an extra in case you accidentally drop one place the power 110 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:54,600 supply into the case with the fan on the bottom side so it isn't drawing in hot 111 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:57,360 air from the GPU then screw in the four 112 00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:02,399 screws on the back and run your power supply cables through the cable 113 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:06,680 management grommet moving around to the back we run them back through the 114 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:14,000 grommets to the other side where they need to go and plug in the 8 Pin and 24 115 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:16,920 pin power connectors for the motherboard 116 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:23,160 PCIe power stays hanging there for now and so does our SATA power for graphics 117 00:09:20,079 --> 00:09:26,160 we chose the AMD rx480 in our case the 118 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,480 XFX flavor sometimes this particular 119 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,640 card is more expensive though so what we'd really recommend is choosing 120 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:36,839 whatever brand is on sale at the moment like right now for instance at the time 121 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:42,360 of recording this this Gigabyte card is on sale the rx480 is a great choice for 122 00:09:39,959 --> 00:09:50,279 1080p gaming as we'll demonstrate in our system benchmarks later on undo the two 123 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:52,880 screws on the PCI covers here and here 124 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:58,519 place in the video card making sure that the PCIe lock at the back engages then 125 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:05,600 replace the two screws you removed before and plug in the 8 Pin PCI Express 126 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:09,399 power connector it really is that simple 127 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:12,320 it's 2017 and in our minds then an SSD 128 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:17,760 boot Drive is every bit as essential as a tempered glass side panel 129 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:23,760 these days so we went with a Kingston SSD now 240 gig that gives us enough 130 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:28,160 room for the operating system and a handful of programs and games for 131 00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:33,000 overflow storage we also threw in a cheap WD blue 1 tbte though it should be 132 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,920 noted you could easily increase the capacity simply by picking a bigger 133 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:42,800 Drive first we need to plug our SATA cables into the motherboard and pass 134 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:49,360 them through the cable management grommets around back remove the SSD 135 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:53,000 mounting bracket insert these four 136 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,720 screws and reinstall the SSD into the 137 00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:01,320 case for the hard drive the mounting bracket can be removed with these three 138 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,839 thumb screws on the back here then you 139 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:09,200 slide the hard drive in and secure it with the included spaced 140 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:15,279 screws connect your SATA power cable to your hard drive then realize that it 141 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:18,240 won't quite reach the SSD so move that 142 00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:23,519 bad boy over one slot then plug in the included fan controller and bask in the 143 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:29,560 glory of your Victory there will be no Walk of Shame back to the power supply 144 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:32,680 box for another modular cable today 145 00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:35,360 though that won't save you from removing 146 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:41,360 and reinstalling the hard drive when you realize that it's ruining the black and 147 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:46,360 orange aesthetic of your 148 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:49,720 build now before reinstalling the side 149 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,519 panel connect your keyboard mouse and 150 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:58,959 monitor then boot up the system and press delete or F2 to get into the UEFI 151 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,480 BIOS for your motherboard enable XMP to 152 00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:06,480 make make sure your RAM is running at its rated speed of 2400 MHz then ensure 153 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:11,959 that your USB drive that you'll have had to prepare before to be a Windows 154 00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:14,600 install bootable Drive is recognized and 155 00:12:11,959 --> 00:12:19,279 restart the system once you're into the Windows setup it's basically just click 156 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:24,240 next until Windows is installed and you land at the desktop the latest drivers 157 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:30,399 can be found on the manufacturer websites for ASUS Intel and AMD and this 158 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:35,320 is also a good time to hit up nite.com to pick up your favorite free 159 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,959 applications in a nice easy to ous 160 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:43,519 package now it's finally time for some finishing touches like cable management 161 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,279 which actually isn't a lot of work in 162 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,199 this case pun intended and then we're pretty much good to go the system is 163 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:56,079 assembled and we can just who are we kidding it's time for 164 00:12:53,639 --> 00:13:03,040 some RGB pizz we used up the final three 165 00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:05,240 of our budget on this USB mood lighting 166 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:11,160 passed it into the case through a PCI bracket and then for good measure lit 167 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:17,760 the case on fire because like we said before it's 2017 and no computer is 168 00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:19,560 complete without pyrot Technics or 169 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,959 something to that effect but in all seriousness assembled this thing looks 170 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:30,880 pretty darn good compared to a couple of years ago nice to have like rubber 171 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:35,880 grommets easy cable management and of course that all-important glass window 172 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:39,920 have become much more affordable and performance while not mind-blowing 173 00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:45,079 compared to some of the over-the-top stuff we've done on this channel will 174 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,360 allow for solid gameplay and AAA titles 175 00:13:45,079 --> 00:13:50,920 while staying quiet and cool so if 176 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:56,759 you're looking for a moderately budget oriented build that'll handle 1080p 177 00:13:52,959 --> 00:14:00,519 gaming at 60 FPS in heavy AAA titles and 178 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:04,160 over 120 in orts games this thing will 179 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:04,160 be perfect
