building a computer can still be pretty challenging if you've never done it before wrong CPU socket confusing case and what do I do with all of these RAM slots our goal with this build then was to create a gaming PC that is not only darn near impossible to screw up but that you can build yourself in less time than it would take to drive to the store and buy a console Micro Center stepped up and sponsored us then to give you the foolproof PC so grab a screwdriver preferably one from LTT Store.com and follow along after slipping an ESD bracelet over my ankle we will start as always with the motherboard and ASUS R stricks b6i and I can already hear you saying lus small form factor is hard and you got to trust me okay an ITX motherboard might not have as much room for expansion but it also has almost no room to screw up which memory slots do I use the only ones where do I get it Microcenter obviously see easy the Box will serve as a handy build surface just unlatch the retention ARM and pull it open then Orient your unboxed LGA 1700 CPU using the Golden Triangle on the CPU and on the socket cover or by lining up the notches on the top and bottom we went with Intel's Core i5 12600 K because it offers great gaming performance and we like the value that those efficiency cores bring to the table for multi- threaded workloads once it's in give it a little wiggle to make sure it's seated correctly then push the lid down until the top latch grabs hold of the lid push the retention ARM down you got really Giver here and tuck it under its holder the socket cover should pop off on its own set that aside in case you ever want to RMA or sell your motherboard the next step is to install our SSD a Samsung 980 Pro it is pricey but Samsung regularly performs very well in pits reliability reports and it's a really fast drive that can truly take advantage of PCIe Gen 4 capacity as always is a personal choice but since we only have two m.2 slots we decided on a 2 tbte model so you won't need to upgrade right away unless of course you're a data hoarder in which case make sure to get subscribed so you don't miss our upcoming video about who's the biggest data hoarder at LMG and what Solutions everybody uses both slots on this board are Gen 4 so there's no wrong answer but both have slightly different installation methods the rear slot goes in like this and needs this screw from the motherboard box to secure it I prefer to use this one for now since this slot is going to be harder to access when it's time to upgrade when that time comes the front slot is under the motherboard armor take out these three screws a number one Phillips will do the trick then lift it off and set it aside peel off the film covering the thermal pad and slide in the SSD until it clicks into place push it down and check this out ASUS calls this m.2 Q latch and it makes SSD installation as simple as rotating this little plastic dad love it at this stage you can just not bother putting the armor back on if you want to save some time it's really unlikely to affect performance but if you like the look peel the film off the underside place it over the drive and screw it back down into place now for the CPU heat sink the LGA 1700 socket is still pretty new so any cooler that's been sitting on the shelf for a year might not include the right Hardware but if you reach out to nocto with proof of purchase they will send you a free mounting kit this is a potential extra step in our foolproof PC but thankfully this kit makes it impossible to screw up your Mount we went with the nhu12s for its excellent performance compatibility and ease of use also it's available at Microcenter but another solid option the community seems to really like is the Scythe mugan 5 rev B pick up your motherboard with one hand by the io shield and push the back plate into place through these holes it's symmetrical so the only thing that really matters is that the holes correspond to where the screws are sticking through the socket so easy right place the board back down on top of the box Slide the plastic spacers over the bolts like so then install the two mounting bars over top of the spacers with the bars curving outward finally we'll use the thumb nuts to screw down our four corners to keep everything in place when it comes to thermal compound don't stress nocta includes a non-conductive non-capacitive paste with all of their coolers so it won't hurt anything to put on some extra for these longer LGA 1700 CPUs we're going to go with the thin line down the middle technique and it can be about the width of an uncooked grain of rice then remove the fan from the heat sink by pulling out these two wires and place the heat sink over the two mounting points and tighten it down until the screws bottom out honestly that was the hardest part but if you still think that all of this is too difficult Microcenter has technicians who can put everything together for you for a $150 build fee the leave Hardline water cooling for an upcharge let's move on to RAM ddr5 installs exactly the same as ddr4 and we only have two dim slots so you can't put them in the wrong one we've also chosen lower spec ddr5 to ensure that we don't run into any instability or compatibility issues when enabling XMP we also considered the size of our modules you might choose to mostly follow our parts list but maybe you change your cooler for example these Corsair Vengeance 5200 megat transfer per second CL 38 modules will fit in just about anything push down the tabs on the top end of the dim slots then align the notch of your memory module with the notch on the slot Slide the first module into the rails then guide it to the bottom and press firmly with two thumbs until you hear a click on each side do it again for the second module and then you are all set now that our memory is installed we can attach our fan to our heat sink with the side clips like so then plug the cable into the gray fan header at the top this is your CPU fan header and the one directly next to it is the aiio pump header we'll get to our case selection in a second but for now since we know that it comes with two case fans we're going to use a handy y splitter and plug it into the chassis fan header up here near the CPU power connector if you don't want to pay the extra few dollars that's okay you can use the pump header for your second chassis fan it just might require a little bit of extra configuration to get it to properly ramp up and down according to your system temperatures all right remember when I asked you to trust me small form factor is hard but we're not building small form factor our biggest trick today is the Jake tyy special putting an ITX board in an ATX case specifically the h510 flow from NZXT ah so much room for activities okay we're going to do this in sort of a weird order but you'll thank me later starting with our power supply yes I know fully modular power supplies are a super cool upgrade for experienced Builders but while it's hard to put cables in the wrong way it's not not impossible and it does add extra steps so we went with an EVGA 700 GD it's rated for 80 plus gold efficiency and outputs a bit more juice than we need today with some to spare for the reportedly power hungry upcoming RTX 4000 series let's grab the only three cables we actually need for our build now the ATX 24 pin CPU 8 Pin and PCIe 8 Pin we'll take the others that we don't need like these SATA and Molex cables as well as these extra PCIe cables bundle them together and and forget about them for now put your power supply close to your case like this then take the 8 Pin CPU cable and feed it through the cutout at the top give yourself as much slack as possible for now we're going to clean that up later while you're up here feed the rear exhaust fan cable out through that same cutout this next step can be done with your case standing which will make the CPU power cable easier to manage but if you're more comfortable resting your motherboard on the standoffs and then screwing it in with two hands rather than one that's perfectly okay either way we're going to take our CPU cable in one hand and the motherboard in the other and bring it close enough that you can plug in the CPU connector by pushing this Cable in with the clip pointed out if you're not using the Y splitter for fans plug in your chassis fans now as well then as you place the motherboard on these four standoffs align the I/O no Shield installation for us our board comes with one pre-installed and gently push it into place our ITX board fits perfectly on the pre-installed standoffs and I promise you that using these screws to secure the three corners here here and here and then resting the last one on the pre-installed Center Post will be fine but if you're truly worried feel free to swap out that post with any of the other standoffs using their handy standoff tool now remember that y splitter we plugged in earlier tuck the ends of that cable out through the same cutout as your CPU power connector and then plug in the front and rear case f we can now wire up our case iio since we're in here and this is why we chose NZXT the power switch reset switch and power LED are all properly grouped together for us so we can plug them all in at once I mean I get it Universal compatibility with the broken out ones that's pretty cool but most modern boards are the same and man is this ever a timesaver USBC goes here usba goes here both of them are keyed so they only go in one way then we're going to take our HD audio and stretch it across our board so it can rest snugly between our GPU and our CPU Cooler now it's time to push your power supply into the basement through the side get your ATX 24 pin and PCIe 8 pin out of the way then you can tuck all those extra cables out of sight so roomy run the ATX 24 pin up the side then out through any of the nearby cutouts and plug it in it's keyed to only go in one way then the PCIe cable comes up through the basement and we can leave it hanging there for now next grab the four screws included with your power supply and secure it here here here and here at this point if we were using integrated Graphics we'd be ready to rock but the GPU shortage is finally settling down Microcenter has lots of stock mostly in their stores to help reduce online scalping so we chose an EVGA RTX 3060 XC it's a great match for our 12600 K and being a Twan card in a case this size it is a breeze to install remove the two top slot covers from the case then put them with your case hardware and keep those two screws grab your GPU remove the PCIe protect ctor as well as whichever display out covers you'll need and if you're an office I would suggest laying your case down for an easier time here line up the slot with the connector might have to wiggle this around a bit to get it just right and push it down until it's seated you can check if you're done by trying to spot the case holes through the rear bracket like this or by checking the PCIe lock to make sure that it's engaged and we are in business now we just need to screw it back down and plug in our last power connector a little like so and that's it following this guide you could conceivably complete this PC in 10 to 15 minutes and I'm so confident that it's going to work I'm going to put the panels on before I power it up you can check out all the products that we used by the way in the links down below while we get Windows installed and get some games fired out blah blah BL this is a fantastic gaming experience Doom Eternal is not the most difficult game to run but anything that can do Doom Eternal 1440p 130 to 150 FPS is going to be having a pretty darn good time in just about any AAA game that has at least some reasonable level of optimization and the craziest part of all this is gpus are finally coming down to prices that you could conceivably actually build this thing I love it right we have struggled so much to make videos for the last two years this is great so whether you want to build it yourself or just pick out something you know has good parts rather than rolling the dice on a pre-built you can find everything you're looking for at Microcenter they've got a great selection of products knowledgeable
