so we've had a lot of people ask us why is it that you go out of your way to
0:04
specifically hire a hand model for your b-roll shots but then you never have her
0:09
actually build the computer and the reason is that max has never built a
0:13
computer before nope but that's okay
0:17
because we have a plan today max actually won
0:21
this cryorig taku case at our christmas
0:24
party and resolved to build a computer so because max is actually paying for
0:31
all the rest of the parts as much fun as it is to do like balls to the wall crazy
0:35
rigs all the time over here this is gonna be a very value optimized rig for
0:41
whatever it is that you do what's it for tumblr mostly that's not what you told
0:45
us before we helped you with the config damn it max photo editing photo editing
0:51

0:54
through this whole ordeal origen they're sponsoring this video
0:58
they build custom desktops they've got high performance laptops and lifetime
1:02

1:07
visit origin pc at the link below today for a special promotion
1:20
you have filmed our videos you have watched our videos yeah yes
1:28
damn it what's the first step what do you mean
1:35
motherboard motherboard yeah yeah
1:38
yeah go ahead go look i'm here for
1:41
support all right i'm not i'm not here to do it for you
1:45
configuration for like a a photoshop or even maybe
1:49
light video editing machine pretty much starts
1:52
at least today until we get lower end chipsets with a z370 board so this is a
1:57
z370i gaming because for your CPU you're going to be using a core i5 8400
2:04
oh okay now the CPU now the CPU
2:08
i'm going to match this corner here
2:12
with this corner here there you go it's like
2:16
your pro you even gave it the little wiggle yep
2:21
professional all right not bad now what
2:25
RAM yeah actually yeah yeah so something you guys might
2:30
have noticed is that the RAM we're using is not it doesn't have leds it doesn't
2:33
have heat spreaders on it even believe it or not leds do not make your
2:38
memory go faster so if all you want is performance then
2:42
you're better off spending money for extra RAM so we've got 16 gigs in here
2:46
which should be enough for photo editing or video editing even next up what do
2:49
you think uh
2:53
cooler heatsink yeah
2:57
did you cheat are you looking over here i'm not okay yeah you're probably not
3:01
because cooler was actually above RAM over here but it doesn't matter you can oh whatever you want
3:05
you have worked here for a year now haven't you yes
3:09
because i'm kind of sitting here going like i actually intended to do like a
3:12
first timer pc build you're actually kind of doing everything right sorry i
3:17
pay attention i mean in a good way
3:20
maybe i'll just quit max do you want to take over max do you
3:24
want to take over maximum tech tips
3:28
i would have maybe less than one tech tip
3:32
uh we went with the c7 because it's low profile and we had one lying around it's
3:37
pretty that was not the reason are you sure yes
3:42
hey it says max on it he thought of everything enter max that's good
3:47
yeah no that's good that's good this thing is in the way
3:50
just because it's your first build doesn't mean that um
3:54
we can't break out a dremel
3:58
have you used power tools before max i'm not allowed
4:02
okay so we're gonna just forget about the power tools you've got a couple of
4:05
different options i have the hairspray option say max
4:11
we can use fire no no
4:15
can melt it i saw the max survivor
4:18
and i had to bring it over here for that day oh i got scoops uh what we're
4:22
actually gonna do you just throw a knife is use this
4:27
file okay is it the same rules with nails you can only file one way you bet
4:32
i'm gonna ruin my own nails doing this like really worried about my manicure
4:37
i'm far less concerned about your manicure and far more concerned about this very expensive um wrap job that we
4:43
had done on this t do you have any idea how much this table cost do you have any idea how much my manicure cost less than
4:48
the table um con like it threw up for the year you know what i did the math
4:51
it's not good there great see how it sits and it
4:54
doesn't wiggle anymore yes oh wow this is i'm ruining it like the plastic
4:59
no it's fine no it doesn't matter at all
5:03
that matters so this case
5:07
was modded by the one and only
5:10
james tribe he used plastidip so if you ultimately don't like it then you can
5:15
just rip it off you're gonna do it aren't you
5:18
wow you know what my favorite color is wow
5:22
favorite color is red so your favorite color is not
5:27
blue and purple which we chose because
5:31
we thought max pc
5:34
max no okay mother only goes here
5:39
okay but this goes out so we need that yes
5:44
very nice for getting the io shield that is a very common first time mistake
5:50
i have watched too many computers get built this means our content is working
5:56
i have no clue where this goes very cool
6:00
warm hot oh i see it
6:04
oh there's so many things there are three things
6:08
so once again on the drives um you'll probably see that we didn't go for
6:14
clearly learned how to build a computer for me
6:18
did you just bump the front of the case with that metal you're gonna damage that
6:22
beautiful paint job oh my god
6:27
this one's big yeah but it's not just about the size the
6:32
length is also key do you want to hit james after this or should i do it let's
6:36
together we're going to do this as a team teamwork
6:40
nice no longer touching this ever again not bad now what GPU

7:06
hey there we go all right
7:11
okay no that's good yeah yeah that's all good
7:14

7:19
core i5 8400 very nice uh there is our one terabyte boot drive
7:25

7:28
everything here looks good so far there's our usb drive that we're going
7:33
