what's up guys I think my arms get lazier in every video today we are building October's PC of the month holy smokes it's already October what the hell am I gonna do for November's PC of the month turkey build the objective of today's PC is to make a gaming rig that looks as badass as possible in an all silver themed aesthetic I don't do these as often as maybe I used to but this is going to be one of those vanity builds that focuses heavily on the aesthetics over the combination of parts or the actual balance of the hardware itself so bear that in mind before you leave a comment like how could you spend so much on LEDs and the case when you should have been spending more on the GPU blah blah blah that sort of thing I completely get it and I agree I understand but the objective of this system really is for vain purposes remember that there's not much logic to looking pretty so on that note why don't we go ahead and take a look at the parts that we'll be using for today's build especially since they're all creepily sitting behind me and I'm kind of worried and freaking out that they're gonna do something yeah I'm looking at you fans all right where do we begin hmm let's begin with the case because it's fricking huge this is the fan --tx and through evolve oh mai gerd nurse it is a beautiful case Dimitri from hardware conducts my good pal and fellow tech tuber actually awarded this case chassis of the year for 2015 and I completely agree with him it's a fantastic case but I've actually never built in one before can you believe it I've never reviewed this case I built in the Mini ITX version of it but never the full ATX chassis so I'm very excited to build it today it is of course rocking the very appropriate coat of galaxy silver paint which i think is gonna look fantastic with everything else involved here so excited about that we've forgot to over here we got the graphics card this is the EVGA for the win gtx 1070 now this is one of those areas where you guys are gonna be like cal you should have like got a way more budget case and you should have got a 1080 why is this a seven and not an eight stupid yeah yeah i get it i get i understand again the objective of this build is not to be super balanced or anything like that it's really just to show off something that looks pretty cool that being said though i would have used the gtx 1080 for the win but my good old buddy old Paul is borrowing it right now he was a town new 1080 yeah sure you owe me hundred bucks she's like nah man no really I was like nah man I'm joking keep it that's how we talk to each other so yeah i'll be using the 1070 it's a beautiful card it looks exactly like the 1080 which is really what concerns me for this build again um so yeah it's gonna be pretty sweet eight gigs of gddr5 VR ready all that good sort of stuff it's gonna be great for a 1440p whether you're talking 25 60 or 34 40 you like the a serial predator monitor over there review coming soon moving on we've got the msi z170a and power gaming titanium motherboard and this is the bastard that started it all folks I wasn't even thinking my mind was furthest away it could be from doing a silver build until this came in the mail I miss I just sent it to me didn't even ask if I wanted it there was just showed up on the doorstep and I was like mmm sorry so I just knew that from looking at it I had to do something with it because apart from being a really high-end premium gaming motherboard on the z170 platform good for overclocking whoa it's also got this really unique sort of shimmery silvery aesthetic coat all over it on the heatsinks on the PCB on the PCI slots everything is just coated in beautiful silver so I thought you know I've got to take advantage of this somehow no one's done it yet I don't think I don't think link link me down below if someone has so I think it's gonna be pretty cool also for memory this is this is the to get right here the Dominator plants you need some Dom plats if you're gonna have a real silver motherboard in a silvery build so this is from Corsair 16 gigs 3,000 megahertz I believe yep 3,000 you sorry the focuses 3,000 says right there confirmed for storage we've got a 2 terabyte WD black for all of our games and stuff and media and for our boot drive and other applications we've got a crucial MX 200 SSD apart from being just a really good budget drive it's also silver Hey so we're gonna try to heat gun this label off actually because labels are lame I think all goes as planned I might stick it right there at the front mounting point at the bottom of the end to evolve I think that'll look pretty sweet oh I forgot to mention it's tempered glass of course of course it's Sanford glass Kyle of course it is how could I forget that's that's another thing that I'm really excited about because it's nothing it's just gonna take it to a whole new level from a cosmetic standpoint also we've got a cpu of course this wouldn't really be a build without one it's a core i5 6600 K hey I've been using the CPU quite a lot lately but it's it kicks ass so I'm gonna keep using it also we've got the H 100 i GT XV 2 even though the box does not say v2 this is actually the v1 box is the 1.0 however I lost the box for the v2 so I'm just using this box as a placeholder but I've got the v2 over there just chillin what's up V 2 he's ready to go I'll lubed up we've also got the EVGA supernova 850 watt g2 L this is building upon their older g2 model with the L the L stands for LED or lighting or luminance or something with that isn't having to do with like basically it's got some LEDs some white LEDs coming out of the connectors the power connectors themselves that should look pretty cool I'm not sure how much it's going to be visible in our case here but I guess we'll find out and maybe I'll stick the camera deep inside this case is backside to give you guys a look if we can't see from the front moving on we've got some fans here these are Noctua fans that we're going to be placing replacing the case fans with as well as the fans on the H 100 I so Noctua fans you guys all know them you love them if they're good guys they're GG so we've got two they're Redux or redo however you want to say it you know tomato tomahto we've got two of the 120 s there n FS 12 B's at 1,200 rpms those are going to be replacing the radiator fans again on the cooler and then we've also got four 140 millimeter fans either these are the NFP for teens 14 s's reduced 1500 rpm slightly faster rpms however they're wider fans they're larger blades so they'll probably not need to spin quite as fast or as hard as the as the 12 hundreds over there is the 120s and those are gonna be again replacing the case fans I think they are gonna be so wheat also they are featuring like a kind of grey sort of grey color scheme very unique to Noctua fans they're not the the nasty brown ones that hardly match with anything and I just ripped the box that's cool so here's a look at the 120 the blade design is different from between the the 120 in the 140 but I think this looks sick this is a fan that you would see in like a an airplane hangar or something so really excited to use these as well and a couple more things couple more things I'm gonna go back to the cables really quick we've got I forgot to mention this is just a white LED strip that we've got from cable mod I've got to see the connector on the end it's magnetic I love these little things cable mod make some really good ones they're actually a little bit brighter than the BitFenix ones that I have the alchemy 2.0 magnetic strips so we're gonna be sticking them there I think the white is gonna really do a nice job of illuminating all the silver accents in our system here didn't want to wash it out with any other colors so white seems to be the way to go and then last but certainly certainly not least we've got some custom cable sleeving here from my boy over at n sources from Joey and if you guys remember my man to build that I didn't do too long ago I've actually since then by the way named that build atlas / some of your guys's suggestions after the more portly robot from portal 2 because it looks kind of like him so thank you guys for that suggestion so this is a the same guy who did Atlas the cables for Atlas has also done the cables for this build as soon as I saw the results from Atlas I hit him up immediately after thinking of the idea for this system and he was more than happy to oblige got these here really quick guys he does great work I'll put a link down below and sourced dot net if you want to check that out don't sleeve your own cables it's a pain in the ass trust me I'm sorry think on that nope those are all the parts that we're using holy smokes I have nothing left to say here so um guys I'm gonna go ahead and shut up now and get to work on this thing so sit back relax enjoy the time-lapse and I'll see you back after it's all done all right here she is folks ain't she a beauty oh yeah put my wiener inside uh so here it is the build overall went fairly smooth and I really like how it turned out actually I think I say that for every build that I do but it's true I usually do like the builds that I did I assemble but there were a couple snacks so I'm gonna do some a little bit different here you can see I've actually taken control of the tripod here whoo whoo so first off the biggest problem that I had with this build was actually getting the sticker off of the MX 200 here in the SSD actually the sticker itself came off really easy with just a little bit of a heat gun action but it left this horrendous residue that took me almost an hour to get off by hand I almost gave up several times and was just like screw it I'm just gonna use the different SSDs so I could be silver I don't care anymore but I eventually got it off I went through with it and I'm so glad I did because I think it's totally worth it it just looks really nice it matches with everything else and it just kind of pops it stands out quite a bit without being too distracting I just I'm really glad that I went through with it the sticker on the power supply went off no problem no issues there and while you can't see any of the LED action of the g2 L it is visible from the other side because there's tempered glass on both sides of this chassis in case I forgot to mention that earlier so that's really cool I'm glad that feature doesn't go completely unnoticed also not much to say about motherboard and CPU cooler installation the removable radiator bracket here on the end to evolve ATX works exactly as I thought it would it's super simple and convenient to use allows you to kind of install the motherboard and the radiator simultaneously which was super cool the cables here murdered aren't they beautiful I mean I didn't really have a WoW moment while building the system until I installed these extensions so really happy that's Joey from end source hooked it up again there's links in the description below if you want more info on where to get these beautiful cable um geez what else to say here the not to offense are dead silent I mean I haven't heard a damn peep out of them it'll be interesting to do some load testing with this thing in part two because they're not like the super premium not to a fans like the ones that they're known for they're a bit more budget oriented they're at a reduced cost so I'm curious to see if they perform just as adequately as those premium fans but yeah that'll be cool to see yeah let's see what else what else what else what else Oh oh yeah obviously because there's tempered glass on both sides I had to spend a little bit more time with cable management I'm really happy with how it turned out and honestly it wasn't that much of a burden because tidying up cables in the Evolve ATX is super easy especially with the power supply strap there's just tons of room to tuck stuff under not to mention all the tie-down points the velcro straps things like that there's plenty of space and whatnot so overall everything looks super good I'm super happy with it and stuff but now I have to figure out what where this is gonna go or should I just assemble it I hate disassembling rigs when they look this beautiful it's just such a shame but yeah on that note build success and let's go ahead and close out this year video all right guys that is gonna wrap it up for part one of October's PC of the month be sure you stay tuned for part two coming very soon where we do a full system analysis of this rig everything from acoustics to thermals to of course gaming benchmarks also feel free to let me know what you think of this rig do you like it do you think it's Buckley's he'll leave me some feedback of some sort in the comments below you can also toss me a like on this video if you enjoyed it as always thank you guys for watching subscribe for more yeah subscribe for more tech stuff coming at you really soon and I will see you all in the next
