WEBVTT 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:06.480 what build guides are back my friends it 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:13.120 has been over a year and in that time you've managed to 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 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:23.199 grinding for Gil at the local McDonald's working late at the office or perhaps 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:29.359 you've been up to some slightly shadier stuff like trading skins in CSG go but 00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:35.440 enough of your life story you're wondering about the best way to turn 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.920 that cash that's my keys not my wallet 00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:41.250 cash into a gaming computer and we've 00:00:38.920 --> 00:01:02.819 got you covered 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 00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.759 screwdriver perfect 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:19.400 pliers pliers a pair of side Cutters a 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:25.560 magnetic Parts tray if you want to stay organized and of course the anti-static 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.799 strap that I am always definitely 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:33.200 actually wearing on my ankle when we shoot these guides 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:37.200 for our CPU we've gone with the core 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:40.479 i57500 this quad core hits a sweet spot 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.600 in Intel's lineup it boosts up to 3.8 00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:46.000 GHz making it great not just for gaming 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.799 but also for productivity and even like content creation and stepping up to the 00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:57.520 I5 7600 means paying 20% more for only a 9 00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:04.399 1 12% clock speed increase something we wanted to avoid for a value op optimized 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:06.399 build like this one first things first 00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:12.280 make a safe workspace out of the motherboard box then line up the Golden 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:18.040 Triangle on the corner of the CPU with the imprinted triangle on the CPU socket 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.480 cover then undo the retention ARM by 00:02:18.040 --> 00:02:28.080 pulling it away from the socket then lifting carefully place the CPU onto the 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.560 LGA 1151 socket with no Force give it a 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:36.560 little wiggle to ensure a snug fit and finally replace the retention ARM 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.640 the socket cover will pop off on its own put that somewhere safe cuz you might 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:46.640 need it again in the future our cooling Choice was pretty straightforward be 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:49.400 quiet sponsored this guide but seriously 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:54.040 we chose the dark Rock 3 in particular because it's overbuilt for our CPU 00:02:51.879 --> 00:03:00.280 keeping our finished system nearly silent and it's going to look through 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:07.000 the window of the purebase 600 case that we found bundled with it for a fantastic 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:08.959 price to install we first apply a rice 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.360 siiz blob of thermal compound in the middle of the CPU then we flip the 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:18.519 motherboard over and Orient the back plate so that these screws sticking 00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.040 through are aligned with these 00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:24.159 cutouts next place these weird shaped 00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:30.080 screws through the holes on the back plate flip the motherboard back over and 00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:36.439 slide these little c-shaped plastic Clips onto the bottom of each post next 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:40.760 you'll need to screw on this piece holding it in place on the front while 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 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:50.000 brackets to the base of the heat sink using the included M3 00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:52.319 screws at this stage you might need to 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:56.640 reapply any thermal compound that you accidentally wiped off while you were 00:03:54.560 --> 00:04:01.439 flipping the motherboard around and you'll want to remove the sticker from 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 00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.879 line the heat sink with the screws such that the fan will be blowing towards the 00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:15.200 back of the case and carefully lower the 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:22.120 heat sink onto the motherboard kind of like so this last part is a little bit 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.080 tricky but you need to thread this nut 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:31.240 onto this little stud and then tighten up the screws from the back the cherry 00:04:28.520 --> 00:04:36.800 on top is cable managing the CPU fan connector and plugging it into the four 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.240 pin CPU fan header on the 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.840 motherboard buying memory for a budget build like this one is pretty 00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:49.000 straightforward just choose whatever dual Channel ddr4 RAM is on sale at the 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:54.120 time you're building it from a reputable brand like Corsair if you have a 00:04:51.440 --> 00:05:02.000 windowed case like we do then choose whatever sexy RAM is on sale at the time 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:03.880 this 16 gig of vengeance lpx ddr4 2400 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:08.680 should be more than enough for the next couple of years and it features a 00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:13.840 lowprofile heat spreader design for optimal compatibility for installation 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 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:24.360 bit of a clearance issue refocus your attention on the heat sink just remove 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 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 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 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:45.720 pops back into position rinse and repeat for the number of dims you have making 00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:50.880 sure that matching pairs go into the same color slots the rationale for the 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:57.479 case besides of course be quiet! sponsoring this video is that for $100 00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:00.680 it's a darn good deal featuring two pure 00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:03.280 Wings fans built-in fans be control and 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:10.919 grommets for easy Cable Management oh and most importantly there is the super 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:14.080 sexy tempered glass window I mean it's 00:06:10.919 --> 00:06:17.440 2017 baby and tempered glass always puts 00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:20.800 a smile on my face we chose the ASUS 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:26.680 B150 plus motherboard mostly because of 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:29.000 its low cost it's not a high-end product 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:34.360 and lacks what we would consider to be some Fair basic features such as 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:41.280 overclocking support a heat sink for the power delivery and even an HDMI or 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:44.840 DisplayPort output but it's got USB 00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:49.840 type-c and solid upgradeability with 00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:53.000 support for AMD Crossfire NVMe m.2 ssds 00:06:49.840 --> 00:06:55.840 up to seven total expansion cards as 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 00:06:59.039 --> 00:07:06.000 first step as much as I love seeing my reflection 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.400 in the glass is to remove the side panel 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 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 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.280 knocked away we couldn't figure out how to make installing an IO Shield 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:27.479 interesting so put it in from the back 00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:30.800 like so and add fire make sure it's 00:07:27.479 --> 00:07:34.160 snapped into place next next holding the 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:36.520 motherboard by the CPU heat sink place 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:42.639 it into the case and then tighten the six screws here here here and here or 00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:46.720 actually one benefit of this case is that you only have to put in five since 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 00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:59.000 the front panel connectors HD audio plugs in here so does USB 3 and then 00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:06.520 next is the front panel connectors which go in a little like so the positive ends 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:09.280 are on the left for our power supply we 00:08:06.520 --> 00:08:13.560 went with the B quiet pure power 10 600 watt its 80 plus silver efficiency and 00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:19.120 high output capacity mean that it will run cool and quiet with room for future 00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:23.840 expansion it's also semi modular and painted black to match the inside of our 00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:29.639 case which is critical of course in the tempered glass era inside the power 00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:34.399 supply box you'll find all the modular cables you'll need we grabbed one with 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:41.200 three SATA connectors and another with PCI Express as well as some cable ties 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:43.000 and five screws huh conveniently be 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:48.000 quiet includes an extra in case you accidentally drop one place the power 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 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:57.360 air from the GPU then screw in the four 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:02.399 screws on the back and run your power supply cables through the cable 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:06.680 management grommet moving around to the back we run them back through the 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 00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:16.920 pin power connectors for the motherboard 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:23.160 PCIe power stays hanging there for now and so does our SATA power for graphics 00:09:20.079 --> 00:09:26.160 we chose the AMD rx480 in our case the 00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:28.480 XFX flavor sometimes this particular 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:32.640 card is more expensive though so what we'd really recommend is choosing 00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:36.839 whatever brand is on sale at the moment like right now for instance at the time 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:42.360 of recording this this Gigabyte card is on sale the rx480 is a great choice for 00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:50.279 1080p gaming as we'll demonstrate in our system benchmarks later on undo the two 00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:52.880 screws on the PCI covers here and here 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:58.519 place in the video card making sure that the PCIe lock at the back engages then 00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:05.600 replace the two screws you removed before and plug in the 8 Pin PCI Express 00:10:01.800 --> 00:10:09.399 power connector it really is that simple 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:12.320 it's 2017 and in our minds then an SSD 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:17.760 boot Drive is every bit as essential as a tempered glass side panel 00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:23.760 these days so we went with a Kingston SSD now 240 gig that gives us enough 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:28.160 room for the operating system and a handful of programs and games for 00:10:26.079 --> 00:10:33.000 overflow storage we also threw in a cheap WD blue 1 tbte though it should be 00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:37.920 noted you could easily increase the capacity simply by picking a bigger 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:42.800 Drive first we need to plug our SATA cables into the motherboard and pass 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:49.360 them through the cable management grommets around back remove the SSD 00:10:46.160 --> 00:10:53.000 mounting bracket insert these four 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:55.720 screws and reinstall the SSD into the 00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:01.320 case for the hard drive the mounting bracket can be removed with these three 00:10:57.800 --> 00:11:03.839 thumb screws on the back here then you 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:09.200 slide the hard drive in and secure it with the included spaced 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:15.279 screws connect your SATA power cable to your hard drive then realize that it 00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:18.240 won't quite reach the SSD so move that 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:23.519 bad boy over one slot then plug in the included fan controller and bask in the 00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:29.560 glory of your Victory there will be no Walk of Shame back to the power supply 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:32.680 box for another modular cable today 00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:35.360 though that won't save you from removing 00:11:32.680 --> 00:11:41.360 and reinstalling the hard drive when you realize that it's ruining the black and 00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:46.360 orange aesthetic of your 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:49.720 build now before reinstalling the side 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:52.519 panel connect your keyboard mouse and 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:58.959 monitor then boot up the system and press delete or F2 to get into the UEFI 00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:00.480 BIOS for your motherboard enable XMP to 00:11:58.959 --> 00:12:06.480 make make sure your RAM is running at its rated speed of 2400 MHz then ensure 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:11.959 that your USB drive that you'll have had to prepare before to be a Windows 00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:14.600 install bootable Drive is recognized and 00:12:11.959 --> 00:12:19.279 restart the system once you're into the Windows setup it's basically just click 00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:24.240 next until Windows is installed and you land at the desktop the latest drivers 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:30.399 can be found on the manufacturer websites for ASUS Intel and AMD and this 00:12:28.160 --> 00:12:35.320 is also a good time to hit up nite.com to pick up your favorite free 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.959 applications in a nice easy to ous 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:43.519 package now it's finally time for some finishing touches like cable management 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.279 which actually isn't a lot of work in 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:50.199 this case pun intended and then we're pretty much good to go the system is 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:56.079 assembled and we can just who are we kidding it's time for 00:12:53.639 --> 00:13:03.040 some RGB pizz we used up the final three 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:05.240 of our budget on this USB mood lighting 00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:11.160 passed it into the case through a PCI bracket and then for good measure lit 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:17.760 the case on fire because like we said before it's 2017 and no computer is 00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:19.560 complete without pyrot Technics or 00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:24.959 something to that effect but in all seriousness assembled this thing looks 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:30.880 pretty darn good compared to a couple of years ago nice to have like rubber 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:35.880 grommets easy cable management and of course that all-important glass window 00:13:33.560 --> 00:13:39.920 have become much more affordable and performance while not mind-blowing 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:45.079 compared to some of the over-the-top stuff we've done on this channel will 00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:48.360 allow for solid gameplay and AAA titles 00:13:45.079 --> 00:13:50.920 while staying quiet and cool so if 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:56.759 you're looking for a moderately budget oriented build that'll handle 1080p 00:13:52.959 --> 00:14:00.519 gaming at 60 FPS in heavy AAA titles and 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:04.160 over 120 in orts games this thing will 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.160 be perfect
