hey it's me that Gremlin that shows up every six months to torment technology
for your viewing pleasure and today is your lucky day because I'm going to be
building another PC while I have lots of
experience being heavy-handed with computer components I've also learned
that they can be quite rugged making it a little less intimidating for beginner
PC Builders like me to handle but the one part that I find the most
intimidating is picking out the right components for my configuration so
companies like Corsair and NZ XT are
creating these build kits to make building a PC for the first time just a
bit easier so first thing I'm noticing is we have this bigger box with all of
the smaller components and the case on the inside I've been informed that this
has already been unboxed once so the way that the components are in the Box
currently is not how it will come to you so first we've got the power supply this
is the CX 550m which is a semi modular
ATX power supply we have the PC
Precision kit it's super awesome that they include one of these if you don't
already have an LTT Precision screwdriver we've got our Co Air
Vengeance lxp RAM oh this is the
motherboard okay motherboard labeling drives me nuts because I have no idea
what I'm looking at but this is the pro b760 P Wi-Fi ddr4 motherboard from MSI
and then of course the Intel i5 and our graphics card uh 4060
they're stickers personally my favorite part of building PCS and buying PC
components is often times they include a little freebie like that as well as this
other not so freebie because I guess you pay for it with your kit but you get a
Windows key as well wish for the
best Flawless did he break
no he's dead breed here's everything out of the box
this is the core set they also have a
few other options if you're looking to upgrade a bit more but for somebody
who's looking to just get their foot in the door this is a great starter option
so I'm a very visual person I will often times pick components based on the way
they look so I'm interested to see how this configuration looks Al together but
the case itself looks pretty nice let's get it out of the box uh this is the
4000d airflow case from Corsair this is always the scariest part
like actually starting to take things apart because now it feels real that I
actually have to build a PC again we didn't have instructions in the Box they
may have been thrown out when it was first unboxed but thankfully they have
their manual online uh so you can easily reference it if you do end up losing
that top sheet or manual remove the motherboard from the packaging and place
on the anti-static bag I'm already doing things wrong unpack the CPU and install
it into the motherboard so we've got our little Intel uh Core i5 CPU do not
remove the plastic cover protecting the CPU socket good thing I read the
instructions cuz I almost did that match it with the small Triangle located at
the bottom left corner of the CPU socket oh yeah it's right here no pressure I'm
so scared I'm sweating
okay oh my God my hands are so shaky did you see that it's like a horror movie
for me and for the audience
I think I did
it oh my God I'm so scared oh my gosh okay and
then it's really tight it's really
tight this is corsair's DIY Precision screwdriver and we're going to test it
out initially but I'll probably swap to the LT Precision screwdriver after the
first go around oh okay I appreciate this a lot
but it like matches the cover and the the holes on the PC case good on you
Corsair we love some brand guideline
consistency it it has a magnetic tray
which is nice I I don't want to go all infomercial and start pitching the LTT
Precision screwdriver to you but I already have a few notes for Corsair
anyways this is I'm going to have to get used to this my hands are so shaky it's
the fear I don't want to disappoint the people oh my gosh oh it doesn't have a
picture of the SSD installation portion
but thankfully I've done this before so I think I know how to do it that was a
very satisfying click this looks right now I must put the screw back
in it's not magnetic enough I need a
more magnetic precision screwdriver that's where the LT Precision
screwdriver comes in handy look at that me no I got to stop doing that I hate
screwing anything in because I always strip threads like literally almost
every time these oh maybe I'm just screwing in
the wrong one wait let's let's try a different screw at least I can say
you're getting an authentic uh view of
what building a PC for a beginner looks like we have our Co Air Vengeance DDR
for RAM uh this is two 8 GB ones so 16
GB total uh I personally run the Vengeance
RAM in my PC but it's the white ones to
match everything else and I also know we need to unlock these but I can't
remember which two slots I need to put it in so maybe the instructions can help
I hate when they use numbers like this I don't have any reference for where I
need to start the count from well they're colorcoded in the image but are
they not they're not color coded on the motherboard so after building a couple
piec I know now you align this little slot with the little um slot there and
then you just push until it clicks little bit of pressure on both
sides it's in yay I'm I'm super surprised with how
good this is actually going so far oh it goes this way okay so don't install it
upside down like I was about to do I think that was my first time ever
installing an IO shield and I I think I did a good job can I get a little thank
you where's the fan where's the CPU Cooler no no cooler whoever unboxed this
initially Jake tyy uh forgot to put the
CPU Cooler back in you're our
savior or old be careful not to remove the pre-applied thermal paste found on
the bottom side of the air cooler no thermal paste in sight but thankfully we
have a tube here all thermal paste applications should be gauged on how
dinosaur they are does it look like a dinosaur be honest yes thank you push
down the push screws until they click okay I see so there's some little holes
here oh this is so scary I haven't
installed a CPU fan like this before okay it kind of looks like these
three are incorrect I just need to push this one how is there thermal paste
everywhere look it it's here it's here
it's on my hand again at least everything will be pasted
there's literally thermal paste on this how did that happen how is it all over
me like this is this a normal experience for PC Builders to have thermal paste
everywhere so I may have missed a step but that's okay we're going to do that
step now by installing the motherboard
into the PC case you know what got me is there's no picture of that
I want pictures is it all right if I lower the desk a little bit what did you
just say a little louder one more time say it we still
need to throw to the sponsor the
sponsor thanks to vti for sponsoring today's video their new Courtside
Classics bring a vintage tennis shoe style to their roster and just like
their other shoes they come with vess's claim of being 100% waterproof even the
brightest sunniest days can turn cloudy on a whim so your feet need to be ready
for any occasion whether that's a surprise Lake day chilling on a boat or
one of those long nights in the city in
the city the Courtside Class come with a
padded tongue and collar plus a lightweight design that makes you feel
like you're walking on clouds go snag a pair today using our Link in the
description and you'll even automatically get 15% off your entire
order a oh I put the io shield in backwards do you remember like 20
minutes ago when I said so don't install it upside down like I was about to do
don't don't install it upside down easy
fix those are the kind of fixes I live for and I'll take my nicely organized
screws with me over here while I screw
in the motherboard I can probably stand
the PC case up now
yay look at how beautiful it doesn't
have a graphics card in there yet but I feel pretty good it's nice they're like
kind of already cable managed a little bit in the back I appreciate appreciate
that less work for me refer to the
motherboard's manual for detailed description of the ports and connections
but there are images so I'm going to refer to the
images we have this guide now that came with the motherboard so in fact all of
these that I'm not sure where they go
belong together somewhere okay I figured it out mostly
yeah struggling is like a very nice way of saying what was happening there's
thermal paste on the table is that where it's coming from unbox the power supply
okay that's next I can pose like like the boys on Tinder with a
fish there's a lot of cables with power supply but thankfully from my experience
in the past usually there's only one port that these can sort of fit into so
it's a little little easier to guess although that way wouldn't be my
recommendation I think it goes underneath
here in this little spot right that seems right probably doesn't
matter that much aside from the direction the fan is pointing which is currently up but most of the heat is in
this area anyways so maybe it's fine oh okay so it
it is the one that's labeled CPU power here but it's labeled differently in the
uh instruction died it's not labeled 24
pin but I think it has 24 pins so it's
probably right and that goes here because there's literally nowhere else
that it will fit we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 uh for our graphics
card and we are now in the part of the
video where I install that so brace
yourselves this is going to get interesting
how did they not tell me to install this or like screw it in at least it's not in
the instructions this has to go with this
here right is this the right spot this has to
be the right spot I took out three this one right here I can hear you
cringing it clicked yay that was absolutely
effortless this grab the PCI cable Oh you mean the cable that I threw
here it is it's labeled PCI I don't know why you asked me to do
videos let's get the LT the big size LT
screwdriver this is way easier with this screwdriver last
screws and then we should be ready to turn this
on I'm just
kidding could you imagine all that work and I drop it will the computer
boot okay what do they always say unplug it and plug it back in again all right
we got to it just lit up okay it's
making noises the CPU Cooler is on and
so is the fan and so is the other
fan oh it might help to plug it into the
monitor just in case this happens to you thankfully Corsair has a help portion on
their website where they mention what do you do if your PC doesn't turn on uh and
they have a support number that you can call so hopefully they can help you figure it out thankfully I have my own
support team here at LMG um but most
people don't have the the pleasure of that so as you can see we have the PC up
and running you might want to play most games at 1080p although you can try
running some in 14 1840 you just might not get the best frame rates uh however
with this being their base model version of this build kit uh 1080p isn't
necessarily A Bad Thing it works and I
built it with ease kind of mostly and a
little bit of help at $1,000 I would say
this is a success thanks for watching subscribe to
ShortCircuit and if you're interested in watching me build another PC I won't
blame you if you don't uh I would check out the nzx build kit video that I did
on this channel thanks for watching bye
