what's up guys welcome back to awesomesauce Network today I've got a little bit of a project for y'all it's just a simple PC build for my lovely father actually wait didn't you already build him a computer like a month or two ago Kyle yes I did but here's what happened all right I built him a computer it's really nice it still kicks ass he likes it a lot but then like a week or two after that my mom's laptop started dying on her just started crashing it's a Sony it's a laptop that explains everything so basically she doesn't have a working system anymore and my dad had the idea that he would donate the computer I just gave to him to my mom and that I could build him another one so I was I'm totally cool with that because it means I get to build another system yay this one is going to be actually more powerful than the one that I've given them initially so that's kind of exciting but why don't we take a look at some of the components here first off well before we do that here's a look at his old system we are going to be reusing some of the parts from here including the 500 gig Samsung hard drive as well as the optical drive it is a combo Drive my dad insisted that an optical drive be in there just in case he needs it so we're gonna be using that scrapping the rest while I wouldn't say scrapping I'm probably gonna do something with that CPU I don't know maybe make a little server I don't know let me know what I should do with the CPU so back to the parts first off let's start the CPU I wanted my dad to have a really fast quad-core CPU so we've got a 4690 here it is a non case Q it is locked because my dad does not know how to overclock nor does he intend to learn how to so I didn't really see the point in paying the extra premium for an unlock SKU but that's going to go right in tandem with this H 81 m DG Fon OD GSR 2.0 hate this text this type font is horrible you can't tell if it's an O or 0 or an S I'm getting off-topic but it's an as rock board it's micro ATX no need to go z97 because we're not overclocking we don't really need that ability so might as well save some cash there for graphics I'm kind of skipping on the graphics this is a 660ti my dad isn't a huge gamer he's not really looking to get into it too much he plays like one or two games currently that aren't really graphics intensive at all but I just wanted to throw this in there this is probably way o P for his needs but still again this is going to be a workstation bill he's really gonna need that processing power over the graphics power but it's also P&Y she mentioned that eight gigs of ram again if he does decide to get into gaming now that he can with that video card I've given him eight generous gigs of 1600 megahertz vengeance low profile memory kit from Corsair very nice as well as a crucial BX 100 SSD 250 gig this is going to be his operating system and programs Drive and as I said before we're gonna be using that hard drive for all his files and data and things like that and last but not least we've got a silverstone PS 0-8 I think it's PS 0-8 maybe it's PSO eight at least it's not POS eight that would be really unfortunate for Silverstone's marketing team to call the POS 8 case anyway I'm getting off topic again I'm just gonna go ahead and shut up right now and we're gonna start building this thing and oh my gosh I drink too much coffee this morning you all right and here is our finished bit oh wait nope there we go all right so overall the build went pretty smoothly I will admit that there were a few complications which I'll get to in just a moment but first off I wanted to give a little bit of rationale as to why I chose this case among the hundreds of other cases in this price point I think it's around forty fifty fifty or sixty bucks but first off the dimensions were spot-on for what we were looking for for to fit in my dad's little cubby space where he keeps his desktop underneath his desk so there weren't too many options there for this one managed to fit with just enough room to provide about an inch on either side between the system and his cubby also the i/o is actually on the front panel it's not a top or on the left or right which makes it really accessible it kind of wouldn't have worked at all had it been anywhere else other than the very front so that's not the reason I went with this case additionally it's got some kind of unique features for a very budget case including a fully black painted interior and another nifty feature of this case is that it actually does feature a removable dust filter look at that huh yeah not bad Silverstone there's also a 120 millimeter fan right here at the front intake included it's a fairly silence the only issue is that when you put these side or the filter back on becomes a bit more audible just because the air is brushing or passing through the demand that kind of creates a little bit of ambient noise but it's not too bad overall now on to some of the hiccups here so you see how we've got USB 3 at the front here that's great good job Kyle good thinking but wait where's the USB 3.0 2010 header on the motherboard oh there is none way to go Kyle I spoke too soon so yeah I picked up motherboard that didn't have a 20 pin USB 3 header so I actually can't take advantage of these two front ports fortunately I bought an adapter it's on its way right now in the mail from Amazon it's a male 20 pin two USB type-a she has it splits off into two type A connectors and you plug it in right here you can route it out through the the punch-out hole behind the case and just plug in those two type-a connectors into those two USB 3.0 ports right there and magically they become pass-through ports and then you can once again use these ports of the front table it's really up to my dad if he wants to do that but I'm pretty sure that would make more sense than the not as he's not really going to be accessing the back of this case much at all of this build much at all once it's in his cubby so I think that adapter will work out just fine for him the other hiccup that I ran into was the actual CPU cooler you can see I've got a stock seat CPU cooler here from Intel which is what I introduced at the beginning of this video but that wasn't the original plan initially I had convinced my dad to pick up a hyper 212 Evo unfortunately I was unable to actually fit that cooler in here I didn't happen to check the clearance parameters of this case so it was sticking out maybe the top of the heatsink was sticking out like a centimeter or two I did try mounting it and the side panel just wouldn't fit on so we've resorted back to the Intel stock cooler which is okay for now again lock skews not gonna be doing any overclocking the only benefit of that hyper 212 Evo would be the cooler temps of course and also a bit more silent operation as the Intel stock cooler can get a bit noisy when it's under load but for the most part cable management was I mean I did the best I could honestly there wasn't much that could be done as there's very limited room behind the motherboard tray to around some of those cables you probably saw from the time-lapse video but I was able to get some of the unused power supply cables behind there as they were fairly thin so that wasn't wasn't too much of a problem but for the most parts I enjoyed building this computer and I hope you enjoyed watching me build it I also did some benchmarks just because just because why not right I figured maybe this this has a video card in it so maybe you guys want to see some gaming benchmarks I didn't go too crazy these are just some some really basic vlog benchmarks let me go ahead and turn the aperture jeez these cars passing by ridiculous but here we've got three games that I just benchmarked about half an hour ago hitman absolution at high settings with 2x msaa got an average of 52 frames per second with a minimum of 44 Bioshock infinite ultra settings with diffusion average 64 with a minimum of 18 and lastly I tested GTA 5 the the benchmark there with a blend a nice blend of normal and high settings and 2x msaa enabled still yielded about 60 frames per second on average with a minimum of 22 temps are looking pretty good with the max CPU at 67 and 78 for our 660ti so overall job well done me uh yeah now I'm gonna go ahead and pack this thing up shut it down and give it to my dad again yes he gets two computers in like one month he's a lucky guy but that is going to conclude it for this video guys thank you all for staying tuned and watching please toss me a like on this video if you enjoyed it leave me some love down below in the comments and I will see you guys in the next video adios you
