what's happening guys welcome back to
the channel today we are doing marches
PC of the month hell yeah just in the
nick of time too right before March
April April rolls around we're getting
this just in time so this is gonna be a
rising build obviously celebrating the
new AMD platform on a m4 and it's
essentially going to be a gaming and
streaming sort of rig because I think
honestly that's what the r7 lineup right
now is really excelling in not to say
it's a slouch in gaming by any means but
I think at the end of the day if we're
gonna get the most value for our dollar
might as well be doing some heavily
multi private applications for this
particular system so I've got a bunch of
parts behind me let's let's let's talk
about them so comprising the overall
backbone of this PC we've got the rise
in seven 1,700 I went with this over the
1,800 X because a it's cheaper and B you
can overclock it and more let's get the
same or similar performance as the 1800
X so that's what we're going with for
today that's gonna be on the a be 350
gaming 3 motherboard from gigabyte I
really wanted to get there Oris gaming
k7 board because I think it looks super
sexy but it just wasn't on the shelves
in time and I was kind of in a hurry so
we're going with this one instead and
that's ok even though it's a B 350 or IB
350 chipset motherboard it's still gonna
be enough for needs as you're about to
see because we're only using one
graphics card here and we don't have a
ton of Io that we're connecting to the
system so B 350 is gonna be just fine
plus it's black and red just like AMD
carlo's baby we've also got some RAM
here this is a ddr4 kit a vengeance LED
this is not the RGB one that just came
out you can check out my video on that
if you haven't yet but this is a 16
gigabyte kit so 2 by 8 gig sticks this
is the red of course the red LED 2 at
the red light bar so it's really the
only color that we're concerned with at
this moment and I forgot to mention that
the speed here is 3000 megahertz sorry
that the focus I thought I thought this
was on autofocus but apparently I have
to focus it why isn't it focusing now
whatever you guys get the idea but
here's our video card the MSI GTX 1080
gaming Z shoutout to Paul for letting me
borrow this card actually my GT X 1080
gaming X is the one that I gave away in
the Nano s build a few months back so I
don't I didn't actually have one of
these cards with the red shroud which
exactly what I was looking for for the
theme of this PC so thank you Paul for
let me loan for loan in this to me this
is a very very fast GPU of course it's
not a gtx 1080i or anything but i didn't
want to go to balls-to-the-wall this is
more so about the theme itself and just
sort of celebrating the AMD colors and
whatnot with Rison even though it should
have been orange it really rising colors
are orange
I know I know Jade did it Jade did it
better than I did I know but you know
red red comes pretty close it's close
enough I guess so we got the gaming Z in
there and then we've also got cooler
which is the NH or the Noctua Nhu 1/2 s
SE am for this is the special AM for
Edition that AMD actually gifted me when
I was in San Francisco a few weeks back
and the reason why I don't have the
retail packaging is because it wouldn't
actually fit in my carry-on so I had to
ditch the packaging and just basically
carry this cooler in my backpack which
was kind of awkward but this is a pretty
sweet cooler I love the black fan I'm
glad it's not brown and ugly like most
Noctua fans and heatsinks also looking
pretty good I was considering throwing
in an h1 10i in here from Corsair the
liquid cooler
it's a 280 millimeter AIO however we're
dealing with a 65 watt TDP chip over
here I didn't think a 280 millimeter rad
warranted was warranted for this
situation so we're going with an air
cooler instead it does look very nice by
the way we've also got a power supply of
course fractal design Integra and this
is a 650 watt units it is partially
modular and it's got some flat black
cables which is going to be nice because
I'm not exactly sure how the cable
management situation is going to be in
today's chassis which we're gonna take a
look at in just a sec 80 plus bronze
certification that's always a good thing
so I think you Fraenkel josh for
providing that we've also got some
goodies from cable mod Thank You cable
Mon for hooking us up with some of these
really nice extensions sleeved
extensions as well as a 60 centimeter to
60 centimeter
red LED strips that we're gonna be
putting in here to make it all shine
mass and bright guys go ahead and check
out links in the description if you want
to take a look at any of the stuff for
storage we're going with the 250 gig
hyper x 3k SSD we don't actually have a
mechanical drive here but let's just
assume that one will be added in the
near future but for now this is the bare
minimum that we need so that's what
we're going with and then what's the
other thing
oh yeah the case the case is probably
the most interesting one of the most
interesting of course besides for the
Verizon ship of course is one of the
most interesting things about this PC
because I've never heard of this
manufacturer before they are called mean
it or mean IT I honestly have no idea
which it is but I found this on new egg
as a new arrival and it's the 5 p.m. I'm
guessing that's the the name of the case
and not the time that this product was
boxed or something I have no idea
it's very strange it's probably like
some Chinese manufacturer that's new to
America or whatever trying to make a
breakthrough in the chassis industry and
the chassis market but I thought it was
a really cool looking case very
minimalistic it's got tempered glass it
comes with three I believe three or four
led fans that are red and they look
pretty wicked so hopefully there's no
surprises with this chassis it was
fairly affordable too which makes me a
little nervous and there was not a
single review that I could find of this
case online so I don't know maybe uh
maybe I'm like one of the first
youtubers to actually build in this
chassis its kind of kind of exciting I'm
for once I have no idea what to expect
with it with a case so this should be
fun but I think on that note guys those
are pretty much all the parts so why
don't we go ahead and kick it off with a
quick little time-lapse and put this rig
together
champ
all right so here's the build pretty
sexy if I do say so myself yes
everything went more or less smooth one
thing that is not smooth is the edges of
this dust filter here they are razor
sharp so that's just a sign of
manufacturers trying to cut corners
trying to get the highest margins on
their cases you can really see where
they are slacking off in some areas with
the build quality here but for the most
part this is very similar to there's
another type of case that I've seen
recently that I'll pop up and text right
here because I can't think of the name
but this seems very similar to that one
now that I've built in it's probably the
same om something like that
but overall not too bad it's it's a
little bit bare inside it looks like
there's since there's no like sort of
drive cage up here or anything in the
top right corner just looks a little
empty but for the most part I'd rather
it be spacious than super cramped and
the grommets here well there are no real
grommets there's actually no grommets
they're just cutouts which is kind of
lame and there's this weird cover thing
that's held in place by a thumb screw
which you can remove but it's just
another empty slot there's no grommets
underneath that as well so kind of an
awkward little cable routing technique
there but whatever it does the job I
suppose I do like the fact that there's
a cutout here with the ground this is
the only grommet that I can see in the
case but unfortunately there's no like
there's no little holes in the the
basement shroud for like routing your
front panel connectors luckily I was
able to rat them through this this big
one here but there's none there's one
little tiny one for your HD audio in the
back there but not the most convenient
and the biggest disappointment with this
case really because it's fairly well
designed is the stupid fans I bought
this case because the fans are supposed
to light up all nice and bright and
glowy from the picture that I saw online
but these this is as bright as it goes
and I don't know if you can tell but in
person they're not very bright at all in
fact that's why I have the cable mod
lighting off right now because with it
on it's so bright the cable mod strips
are so bright which is a great thing but
it pretty much drowns out the red the
LED on the fans so you can't even see
them
very well most like it's super dim in
your room so that's kind of
disappointing look at this there's
there's an off off setting okay it turns
them off low high low and high are
exactly the same what the hell that is
that is great abs man so I'm a little
disappointed that near there's something
we can do with that in part 2 of this
video stick around for that but hey
first rise and build official rising
builds 2017 I'm super stoked let me know
what you guys think of the build in the
comments below and also feel free to
toss me a like on the video wow I
really stopped recording on myself just
there I'm tired but that's gonna do it
for now guys thank you so much for
tuning in stick around for part two
where we do a full system analysis of
this guy right here should be pretty fun
with that 1,700 and all and yeah have
yourselves a good day did I already say
like the video now you guys already know
the drill
have a good one guys I'll see you later
bye and nothing comes after bye
it's just bye bye
