0:36
AMD's new cavar architecture apus
0:39
feature not only a quadcore CPU on board
0:43
but 47% of the die area is actually
0:47
taken up by a seriously powerful direct X11 graphics processor that uses a
0:52
scaled down version of the same gcn architecture that you'll find on their
0:56
desktop Radeon series graphics cards now you might be asking yourself um why does
1:02
it matter that I have a powerful graphics processor on my CPU why do I
1:07
need an APU to which I would reply in this case HSA or heterogeneous system
1:13
architecture this is in a nutshell the ability of the processor to treat both
1:18
its CPU cores and integrated Graphics
1:21
processing cores as equals that can work
1:24
together rather than two separate things that basically work independently and
1:29
communicate with each other over the relatively slow PCI Express bus now with
1:34
HSA those two processors can even access
1:37
the same system memory in order to achieve perfect collaboration and while
1:42
we'll need software to play catchup a little bit before the majority of your
1:46
programs are optimized for HSA the performance benefits that can be
1:50
realized are very significant and with
1:53
all of that in mind it is time for a build guide featuring this exciting
1:57
processor that marks the first availability of HSA Hardware so let's
2:04
start off our rationale with the Apu just as a reminder an APU contains both
2:09
a CPU component and a GPU component so
2:12
I'll start with the CPU part with its Steamroller cores cavar doesn't
2:16
dramatically improve raw CPU performance
2:19
over AMD's last generation Richland products but what it does do is it
2:24
delivers much lower power consumption without losing any performance and while
2:30
adding some very important technologies that establish AMD's leadership position
2:35
in HSA Hardware I mean I guess when you're the first one to actually deliver
2:40
something to the market that sets you up pretty well for that leader title moving
2:44
on to the GPU the onboard Graphics this
2:47
is not your grandpa's onboard Graphics though I mean I mean well if your
2:52
grandpa had onboard Graphics then maybe there were something pretty special
2:56
actually since your grandpa's obviously the doctor but but see seriously the gcn
3:01
architecture of Cav's integrated GPU means that you get access to some
3:05
serious performance and features aside from directx11 which I mentioned already
3:10
is AMD's mantle API that actually allows
3:14
game developers to better optimize their games to make the most of the CPU power
3:18
they have available with a well optimized game we can expect to unlock
3:22
some serious performance improvements over direct X11 with mantle stay tuned
3:28
for The Benchmark section next next up is AMD's true audio DSP or digital sound
3:33
processor a piece of technology that could revolutionize the way in-game
3:37
audio is handled by game engines in the long term in games rather than relying
3:43
on cheap software tricks to achieve echos and other spatial effects true
3:48
audio allows sound to bounce realistically off of objects accurately
3:53
according to the player surroundings and outside of games the applications of
3:58
this technology include things like cleaning background noise out of voice
4:02
recordings and much much more and all of this is without using up valuable CPU
4:07
Cycles then finally there's dual Graphics or the ability to basically run
4:12
your onboard Graphics in crossfire with a supported desktop graphics card for
4:17
tangible performance improvements we'll be showing you this one running in
4:21
tandem with an r7250 later on in the
4:24
video which leads us to memory in AMD's
4:27
internal testing they found that 8 gigs
4:30
is the sweet spot where most people unless you're doing content creation or
4:34
some other kind of serious usage are not using more than that and I will agree
4:38
with that up front but they also found that in addition to dual Channel DDR
4:44
3600 MHz they are finding a benefit all
4:47
the way up to 2400 mahz dual Channel
4:51
DDR3 memory so I went with G skills
4:55
Aries 2400 megahertz uh 2x4 gig kit for
4:59
this particular build not because I necessarily believe them right off the
5:03
bat but because I want to take this system when we're done and do a little
5:07
bit of validation and find out if it's worth the extra couple bucks as for why
5:12
we went with g-skill RAM um on our test benches we found that it just plain
5:16
Works across a very wide variety of motherboards to an extent that we don't
5:20
see from any other manufacturers so I've
5:24
never actually showcased them on the channel before I figured we might as well do that because it's something that
5:28
we do use intern and having RAM that just plane operates
5:32
as intended is pretty
5:35
invaluable for the motherboard we went with an ASRock fm2 a88x Extreme 6 Plus
5:43
and honestly there's not much of a rationale here I wasn't particularly
5:47
picky about the motherboard for this build the most important thing was to
5:51
make sure I was getting one that is fm2
5:54
plus as opposed to fm2 fm2 plus CPUs are
5:59
not backwards compatible with fm2 boards
6:02
whereas fm2 plus boards will work just fine with fm2 CPUs so make sure that
6:08
your retailer has fm2 versus fm2 plus boards clearly marked and if you're not
6:13
sure double check the manufacturer's website now there's a wide variety
6:17
available from all the usual subects and you'll find fancy features on some of
6:21
the boards versus other ones but fm2 Bloss boards will have at least the
6:25
following features in common number one trim support on ssds running in raid
6:30
zero that's a nice little performance feature right there number two is
6:34
support for DDR3 up to 2400 MHz
6:37
operating in dual Channel mode although overclocking might get you a little bit
6:41
more this particular one supports up to 2600 MHz with overclocking number three
6:46
is support for up to four displays off the onboard graphics on that cavar Apu
6:52
that you've got and number four again
6:55
powered by the onboard Graphics is support for 4K video output for cooling
7:00
we went with the Cooler Master hyper T4
7:03
which is actually AMD optimized out of the box which is kind of unusual these
7:08
days there were no awkward adapters or anything like that and it's got a nice
7:12
large fan all at a very aggressive price
7:16
we could use the Box CPU Cooler but this
7:20
one will give us some cooling head room for the overclocking tests later on and
7:25
it's going to run quieter as a whole now storage is always so personal normally I
7:31
say get a wd blue or a Kingston v300 but
7:36
I actually have to leave off my traditional v300 recommendation since
7:41
Kingston recently changed the flash that they're using on that drive so crucial's
7:46
M500 series and Samsung's 840 Evo series
7:50
are both fantastic value oriented options as a replacement for my usual
7:55
v300 recommendation I think most people
7:58
in this price range will choose the capacity of a hard drive over the speed
8:02
of an SSD when it comes to storage but another alternative is always grabbing
8:07
an SSD now and kind of living with the small storage for a while then adding a
8:11
hard drive for bulk storage later it's all just going to depend on your budget
8:15
and your upgrade schedule now the graphics card is a very optional part of
8:19
this build and something that I would consider more like an upgrade later
8:23
because we were going for a very value optimized system when we put together
8:27
the initial list but this r7250 is capable of running in dual
8:32
Graphics mode with the onboard GPU so that's effectively like like Crossfire
8:37
between your dedicated and your integrated graphics and we will show you
8:41
what you can achieve by doing this particular upgrade later on in the
8:45
future by running some benchmarks for you in the conclusion of the video our
8:49
case is the source 210 Elite from NZXT
8:54
it doesn't have many Frills but it looks pretty nice and it acts as a solid
8:59
enclosure for our power supply we've gone with a cic ss400 ET which in my
9:05
mind is pretty much the only power supply that matters for the entry level
9:10
I mean okay it comes in a couple of different you know wattages but it's
9:13
it's all basically the same thing they're quiet they have 80 plus bronze
9:18
certification and seic as a manufacturer
9:21
has a fantastic reputation not to mention they're very inexpensive for our
9:26
OSS we're going with Windows 8 because Windows 8 so now it's time for the
9:30
actual building first step is to start with a safe static free workstation and
9:36
an anti-static strap I like to keep mine on my ankle so that it stays out of my
9:41
way while I'm trying to work all we really need for assembly of a modern
9:45
computer is a multi-bit screwdriver I like to use a magnetic one because it
9:49
doesn't do any damage to the components and if you drop a screw somewhere or
9:52
whatever else it allows you to dig it out of there without being more
9:56
difficult than it has to be now I always recommend putting the system together
10:02
once outside of the case to ensure that
10:05
everything works while it's nice and easy to get at the motherboard BL makes
10:10
a handy non-conductive test bench don't
10:14
use the antistatic bag that's in the motherboard on top of it though once you
10:19
power on the board some of these bags have conductive outer Coatings and can
10:23
actually short out your motherboard so we'll start with CPU installation
10:28
carefully remove both the the CPU and the stock heat sink from the box the
10:32
pins on the CPU are very very fragile so
10:36
be extremely careful especially with those next lift up the retention ARM on
10:41
your motherboard align the triangle on
10:44
the corner of the CPU with the triangle on the corner of the socket place the
10:49
CPU into the socket don't push on it and
10:53
then push down the retention ARM that's pretty much it grab the thermal compound
10:58
that is incl uted with your hyper T4 cooler if you were using the stock heat
11:03
sink you could just use the thermal compound that is pre-applied to that
11:06
then put a line down the middle of the heat spreader it's a bit bigger for AMD
11:11
CPUs than it is for their competitor CPUs because their heat spreaders are a
11:16
little bit larger next up what you're going to do is grab all the mounting
11:20
hardware comes in a big bag like this from your CPU Heat snc box and grab your
11:26
memory you'll need both of those for this step well one of them anyway your
11:30
memory goes in now because the hyper T4
11:33
overhangs the memory slots to the point where you won't be able to install
11:37
memory in all the slots once you've installed your cooler so for dual
11:41
Channel operation consult the manual of your motherboard but go ahead and
11:45
install them in what would normally be colorcoded slots but in the case of this
11:49
particular ASRock board is just going to be the ones that are spaced out from
11:53
each other whenever installing DDR3 memory open up the tabs align the memory
11:59
being careful of The Notches carefully place it in then once
12:04
it's positioned correctly push down firmly on both sides until The Notches
12:09
click back into place on their own once that's done this big bag of Hardware
12:13
that I said you'd need H you don't actually need it I'm sorry I lied to you
12:17
guys all you need because this cooler mounts natively on AMD is this hold down
12:23
ARM that's it so we're going to position our fan so that it is blowing air up
12:29
towards the top of the case then we're going to go ahead and run this through
12:34
the bottom position it in the little sort of
12:37
mini heat sink at the bottom with the slot in the middle accepting the little
12:43
notch in the retention bar place it onto the CPU latch on the
12:50
one side that doesn't have a plastic retention clip then latch it onto the
12:55
other side there we go and and tension it boom
13:02
just like that next up last step here is
13:06
take that lead for the CPU fan go ahead and tie it into a nice little knot or
13:10
tuck it away somewhere in a corner preferably both and then plug that four
13:14
pin connector into the four pin pwm fan
13:18
connector on the motherboard itself labeled CPU fan
13:23
one your CPU RAM and heat sink they're
13:27
all done when you take your case out of the the box I recommend taking the
13:31
packing materials and putting them safely away in the box that way if you
13:35
ever have to ship your system somewhere or otherwise transport it you're going
13:39
to know where those packing materials are and your case box is a great place
13:43
to put the boxes for your other components like your motherboard CPU Etc
13:47
just in case you have to send any of them back for a warranty exchange at any
13:51
point you can pour store them all in there put them in the Attic or whatever else so the first step is to open up the
13:56
side panel this case uses thumb screws so you can go ahead and take those out
14:00
with your fingers if not there are of course screw slots in the back for a
14:03
Phillips head screwdriver you can use your screwdriver instead take off that
14:07
left side panel go ahead put
14:11
that in the case box as well that way it'll stay safe and it won't get knocked
14:15
over or scratched when you're in the process of building your machine I
14:18
recommend doing the same thing with the other side panel the first step whenever
14:22
you open up any case is to do a quick sanity check have a look is the manual
14:27
there good as long as manuals there you can check and find out what other
14:31
Hardware was supposed to be included Your Case should come with all of the
14:35
hardware that you need to install all of your components inside of it installing
14:39
the io shield in a modern case is pretty simple you just go ahead and make sure
14:44
that you've got the top side up and you'll be able to tell on this one
14:48
because the PS2 and USB ports are going to be at the top and this is true of
14:52
most of them the audio ports will be at the bottom go ahead and position it
14:56
approximately correctly then press on all four Four
15:00
Corners until they have all snapped into place and it doesn't come out anymore
15:05
now retail power supplies will come with a bunch of extras like installation
15:09
screws and some cable management stuff but even though our power supply is
15:13
completely o it comes in a little baggy we have that stuff anyway because it
15:18
comes with your case so this one comes with some zip ties as well as the four
15:21
hex screws we're going to need to install our power supply so next up we
15:25
just need to choose our orientation you can either have the fan up so it's
15:29
drawing air away from the inside of the system and exhausting it out the back or
15:33
you can have fan side down because in this case there's a ventilation hole
15:38
down there so the fan actually keeps its own heat and the Heat of the other
15:41
components completely separate making it its own little Thermal Zone and the
15:45
other advantage of this orientation is that usually the cables come out this
15:49
side and that puts it closer to the motherboard tray for easier Cable
15:54
Management so we're going to go fan side down the one thing to watch out for if
15:58
you have your fan down is that you put your case onto a hard surface such as a
16:02
hardwood or laminate floor because if you put it on a carpet and the feet at
16:06
the bottom of the case sink in you could be suffocating your power supply and
16:10
causing it to overheat from lack of air flow once it's positioned go ahead and
16:15
screw in the four screws in the only spots where they
16:19
go and you have successfully installed the power supply my
16:24
friend and it's already time to mount the motherboard in the case first first
16:29
things first you're going to want to find your standoffs ncxt has done
16:32
something here that I actually haven't seen before and they've got some steel
16:36
content in their standoffs meaning that when you use their little tool which is
16:41
an adapter from a Phillips head screwdriver to a socket for your
16:45
standoffs you don't actually lose the magnetic effect of your screwdriver so
16:50
normally cases include brass standoffs so the adapter's magnetic but the
16:54
standoffs themselves fall out when you try to use them but NZXT doesn't do that
16:58
so we're going to install the standoffs in the nine locations required for a
17:02
standard ATX board here on the back of the motherboard tray then to make our
17:07
lives a little bit easier we're going to lay down our
17:10
case position the motherboard carefully
17:13
above the standoffs making sure not to scrape it I recommend holding the
17:17
motherboard by the heat sink that you've already
17:20
installed slide it back towards the io
17:23
shield and then once you have positioned it carefully above the standoffs go
17:28
ahead and put in the one Middle Screw so that it doesn't shift around then you
17:32
can let go and put in the rest of the screws hard drive installation for that
17:37
you're going to need two of the utility screws that come in the bag full of lots
17:41
of screws with your case I mean that's that's sort of the bulk of them they use
17:45
the same threading as a standard case screw but they just have a slightly
17:48
different head then all you do is grab your hard drive now okay this is a 500
17:53
gig one that was all our props Department was able to find but we really do recommend the terabyte one for
17:57
its better uh capacity to price ratio go
18:01
ahead and pop one of the toolless hard drive mounting pieces off of the case by
18:05
turning it counter clockwise Slide the hard drive into basically whichever Bay
18:10
you would like uh it's best to have it next to somewhere that a fan is mounted
18:14
if there are any fans in your case but this one doesn't come with any and we haven't invested in any additional fans
18:20
so it doesn't really matter the one thing I would think about is how close
18:23
the connectors are to the SATA ports on your motherboard as well as how you're
18:28
going to out your power cable to the back of the drive itself go ahead and
18:33
take your toolless mounting mechanism pop that back into the holes on the
18:37
drive turn it clockwise then if you're
18:41
concerned about the drive going anywhere even though the tooless mounting
18:44
mechanism is enough if your power is just going to sit next to your table I
18:48
usually recommend throwing a couple screws into the other side just in
18:55
case and once you're finished that your hard drive is mounted so with most of
18:59
the hardware for the system actually installed at this point we're ready to
19:02
plug in our front panel connectors we're going to start with USB 3 the pins are
19:07
very fragile so don't force it but good news it's keyed on the one side so it
19:12
only goes in one way next up we have our
19:16
front connectors for the power reset power LED and drive activity LED for
19:22
power and reset the orientation doesn't matter just make sure you get the uh the
19:27
leads on the correct pins but but for the hard drive LED as well as the power
19:31
led the positive pin has to correspond to the positive lead so double check
19:36
your manual if you're not 100% sure for front USB 2 you can plug into any of the
19:41
three connectors that are labeled front USB 2 and there is one blacked out pin
19:46
or empty pin that goes into the place where there is an empty Block in the
19:50
connector itself and you're actually going to see the same thing with the
19:53
front panel audio where it's not in the same position so you can't accidentally
19:57
plug those into the wrong ones but there is one blanked out one so you go ahead
20:02
and plug that in in the bottom left corner of your board this motherboard
20:05
has lots of fan headers so you can go ahead and run those two included fans
20:10
the 140 mm at the top and the 120 mm at
20:13
the back pretty much wherever you want now there are labels on them like power
20:18
fan or chassis fan or CPU fan but it doesn't really matter as long as you
20:23
remember where you've plugged it in or I mean you can always play around with it after the fact the only time it'll ever
20:28
make a difference what type of fan it is is when you look in the BIOS and you see
20:32
the labels and you're adjusting the profile for it or whatever else so go
20:36
ahead and plug those in they're both three pin fans but you can plug them
20:40
into either a four pin or a three pin connector just like we did and one
20:44
little trick that I used is I cut off the Molex connectors that are on these
20:48
fans by default these are here just in case you don't have enough spare headers
20:53
on your motherboard so that you can power the fans directly off the power
20:57
supply the advantage of which which being you can plug in as many as you
21:00
want the disadvantage of which being that you will not be able to control
21:04
them through your motherboard's UEFI or BIOS in order to turn the fan speeds
21:09
down and up dynamically when your system is under higher or lower levels of
21:14
stress next up is our main power connectors for the motherboard so we've
21:18
got the a pin which goes in the top corner now if I'd been a little bit
21:22
smarter I might have pre cable managed this one before I put the motherboard
21:27
into the case but have no fear there is
21:30
a cable management hole up at the top of the case that allows us to run that wire
21:35
up the back there are also Cable Management Loops back here so we can
21:39
strap it down and make sure it's nice and tight so we're not going to have any difficulty closing that side panel then
21:44
bring the connector up through the front and plug it into the a pin spot above
21:49
the CPU socket for the 24 pin it's actually even simpler so we're going to
21:53
run that through the cable management hole down at the bottom of the case and
21:57
then it's going to go a very short distance also using the cable management
22:01
Loops at the back of the case to hold it securely in place and then plug into the
22:05
24 pin connector along the right hand edge of the motherboard our motherboard
22:11
is now powered to plug in the hard drive all we
22:15
have to do is plug our SATA cable into the motherboard any of the SATA ports
22:20
will do there's no Master Slave relationship like there used to be with
22:23
IDE then plug that data cable into the
22:26
back of the drive and find finally a power cable into the back of the drive
22:31
as well one thing that I usually like to do is instead of using the last SATA
22:35
connector in the chain use the second last one or third last one because that
22:40
will leave the additional ones free as kind of a courtesy connector for next
22:44
time you want to install a hard drive so you don't have to reroute another SATA
22:48
cable of our two last steps one is optional and one is well I guess it's
22:54
optional but please tidy up your cables so first we're going to remove the two
22:59
PCI brackets that correspond to our top PCI Express 16x slot then we are going
23:05
to position our graphics card above the slot plug it in basically just by
23:10
pushing evenly on it on both sides once it is locked into place you can go ahead
23:16
and put the two screws that you took out to remove those brackets back into the
23:19
top of the card and where normally I'd be telling people to find the PCI
23:23
Express connector on your power supply and plug it in that's not necessary with
23:27
the R7 250 because it is entirely powered by the PCI Express slot once
23:33
we're done with that we can go ahead and do any last minute Cable Management so
23:37
you can take that bundle of wires and you can tie them down nice and tight
23:41
down at the bottom of the case or as another option you can throw them behind
23:45
the drive cages here if you want to go for a little bit of a tidier look but
23:50
maybe impede access to some of the screw holes at the back if you ever wanted to
23:54
fill this baby up with hard drives you're also going to want to you know
23:57
grab a pair of scissors and cut off any extra nubbins on the end of your zip
24:02
ties and all that good stuff and your system is physically complete now that
24:09
the system is mostly set up physically it's time for software setup so in the
24:14
BIOS there's only a couple of things we're going to have to do double check
24:18
and make sure ahci is enabled for your SATA ports and ensure that all your
24:22
components are detected then dial in
24:25
that 2400 MHz memory to the correct
24:29
speed if you're ever not 100% sure about
24:32
the timings the voltage and the frequency you can find that either on
24:36
the manufacturer website or actually usually on the modules themselves just
24:41
make sure you power down your system before you go yanking your memory
24:44
modules out of it to like read the side of them or anything like that next up is
24:48
Windows installation which is super simple if you know how don't worry about
24:53
the lack of a disc drive in this machine we can grab all that stuff off a disc on
24:57
another system copy it to a USB drive then boot from that it's faster and more
25:02
convenient we've actually done a guide on this before so go ahead and check out
25:05
the video annotation link here if you want to check that out in a simple
25:10
system like this there's only one drive so installing Windows on the default
25:15
Drive is just the way to go it'll come completely unformatted and by default
25:20
it'll fill your entire drive with your Windows installation and then all the
25:23
spare area you need in order to install all your applications and all that good
25:28
stuff your system will automatically reboot a couple times and you will be
25:31
dumped at the desktop now drivers are
25:34
something that many people struggle with but it's not too overwhelming if you
25:39
break it down install the drivers off of
25:42
the disc for things like your network because you're obviously not going to be
25:46
able to get on the internet unless you have a network driver then go to the
25:50
manufacturer website for things like your video card which is AMD whether you
25:54
put in the discrete graphics or you're running the onboard Graphics as well as
25:57
your board which is ASRock and just grab
26:01
all of the stuff for your particular component and install it if there's
26:05
anything missing don't worry too much about it
26:10
because all you have to do is use this little simple trick go to device manager
26:15
rightclick the component in question usually it'll have a little exclamation
26:19
mark with a yellow triangle around it then go to details use the drop- down
26:23
box to go to Hardware ID Google the venore number number number and Devore
26:29
number number number string and it will tell you exactly what that thing happens
26:34
to be and then you're golden now it's time to test our system now I promised a
26:39
couple of benchmarks showing some of the benefits of HSA and Now's the Time
26:44
Carell Aftershock Pro was run side by side on just a CPU and with HSA enabled
26:50
to take advantage of our entire Apu and
26:54
then we followed up with a couple runs of PC Mark 8 huge thanks to Future Mark
26:58
by the way for providing us with a professional copy which is also HSA
27:02
aware and demonstrates a very significant increase in overall system
27:07
performance especially in the work and creation Suites our first Graphics test
27:14
takes advantage of the mantle API the star swarm Benchmark which we've run in
27:19
both directex mode and mantle mode to see what kind of performance
27:23
improvements we can get with an APU seems to validate that mantle is going
27:27
to have some wings to fly on in the future even though right now there
27:31
aren't a ton of games that support it to validate the operation of dual Graphics
27:36
we've run BioShock Infinite and Far Cry 3 with just the integrated GPU just the
27:43
r7250 utilizing only the CPU part of our Apu and then finally with the Apu
27:49
running in dual graphics with the GPU to
27:52
show you guys that there is a tangible
27:55
performance Improvement now there is still a strong argument for more
28:00
powerful discrete graphics but as a proof of concept dual Graphics looks
28:05
like a promising technology for the future especially on notebooks where the
28:09
discrete graphics card can be turned off entirely when it's not needed to save
28:13
power other than that something like an
28:17
r7260x is the kind of upgrade that I would look for for a system like this to
28:23
take a look at the performance improvements that we can gain from
28:26
increasing our memory frequency our gskill kit is clocked at 2400 MHz by
28:31
default but we tried underclocking it to 2133 1866 and 1600 MHz to see what you
28:40
get for the extra couple of bucks looks pretty worthwhile to give that onboard
28:45
Graphics some extra memory bandwidth when you're gaming hey for our last
28:50
performance test we take our star swarm Benchmark and then run it at stock speed
28:56
and then with the CPU and the GPU on our
28:59
Apu both substantially overclocked looks like there's some fun
29:03
to be had for tuners and Tweakers who want to try to squeeze the most out of
29:08
this value oriented onboard solution I
29:12
hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned a little something about HSA and
29:16
the kinds of performance leaps it will enable in the future along with the
29:20
other AMD Technologies showcased in this build guide one that I actually didn't
29:23
mention before is 4K media playback HSA
29:27
accelerated media play ERS will allow your GPU to handle 4K video playback
29:31
without taxing your CPU over much and remember both of those things are part
29:35
of the Apu this is the kind of future
29:38
proofness that isn't necessarily about
29:41
some you know greasy car salesman telling you that you'll be playing the
29:45
latest games at 4K in 5 years if you buy this one because that kind of future
29:50
proofness really doesn't exist rather it's about making sure that the system
29:55
maintains its base functionality over a nice long per period of time by
29:59
unlocking additional performance with improved software over the time that you
30:03
own your system it's the sort of thing that we're already used to seeing with
30:07
gaming consoles for example but now with a PC so that's what we built today maybe
30:13
the exact parts list isn't what you're going to buy but it's a great starting
30:19
point for a system that's good today and great tomorrow thanks for watching this
30:23
build guide thanks to AMD for making it possible and just in case you aren't

to Just Surrender I'm not holding back for
30:57
anyone
