here you go honey I thought you could use an upgrade ooh RGV and mechanical switches actually their membrane switches with the tactile click but what she doesn't know won't hurt her honey you must have spent a fortune not even close I'm not even mad at you for forgetting our anniversary yesterday it's true I did forget our anniversary but I more than made up for it last night not even close the master set ms 120 is the latest RGB mem Kanaka keyboard and mouse combo from coolermaster and for you lefties out there you can also snag the MS 121 with an ambidextrous Mouse come October click on the link in the description for more info what's going on guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well so today we are actually assembling September's PC of the month which you can see already a little preview of the case we're gonna be using super exciting this is actually going to be a mid to high end fully blown AMD small form-factor gaming PC we finally now have the here in 2017 the the parts from team red both on the CPU and GPU front although GPU accessibility right now for AMD is a bit debatable that's topic for another video but we're gonna be using an AMD CPU and GPU for this build and it's gonna be all encompassed or it's gonna be enclosed I should say inside of a relatively portable portal portal bull chassis and that's gonna be C we were finally exciting so let's go ahead and check it out check out the parts come on let's go oh we're here that was a really short trip so today we'll be building inside of the portal Mini ITX chassis from good old BitFenix and if you guys haven't seen this case yet it looks like something straight out of the video game it kind of looks like one of the little robots that you interact with it's a very fun looking case very unique the internal layout is just as unique as the exterior in my opinion as we'll take a look at in just a bit it also comes in some varieties you can get black or white window non window I'm going with a white windowed version so you can see here the windows actually on top giving you a look at your GPU the GPU actually gets mounted across the you know depth wise across the case with a PCIe riser card I believe so that should be a pretty interesting little feature and I'm hoping that this goes smoothly the we don't get too many headaches from this from this from this little chassis here but moving on we've got a CPU to talk about we've got the risin 5 1600 a fantastic chip that I have been using a lot lately which is why you this is a not a fresh and open box by any means it's a great price performance chip from AMD for about $200 it's absolutely fantastic 6 cores 12 threads and of course you get some great overclocking capabilities with supported am4 motherboards like this as rock fatality a be 350 gaming ITX AC I've actually never used this board before pretty excited to check it out it's got some decent features here so you've got an RGB LED header I don't think we'll be using that today but it's nice to have the option dual band 802 dot eleven AC Wi-Fi which is fantastic for a mini ITX board some sound crap that we don't really care about MTU nvme support and Intel Gigabit Ethernet LAN for about 125 bucks we're really ticking all the boxes that I look for personally when shopping around for a mini ITX motherboard so excited to use that today we're gonna be pairing that with a 16 gigabyte kit of Corsair Vengeance lpx ddr4 at 3000 megahertz 16 gigabytes should be plenty for our needs it's a it's a great kit I've been using this kit for for ages I guess not too many ages because it's ddr4 and it doesn't go that far back but it has great compatibility with Verizon platforms which I'm very excited about as well we'll be able to hit 3,000 megahertz no problem I would I would expect and we've also got some decent storage options here so for our boot drive we've got a 250 gig samsung 960 Evo m2 nvme SSD this is not quite as snappy as the 960 Pro but we don't really need the pro for gaming per se so I think the Evo is gonna be just fine I've got a stupid FAST controller and stuff on it we've also got a one terabyte WD black hard drive as a mechanical drive of course and I thought I was getting the three and a half inch drive when I initially bought this but you know this this showed up on my doorstep so I guess it works though because we do have multiple two and a half inch drive slots in the portal and going with a small form-factor theme I guess it can't hurt to you know how some smaller drives as well so one terabyte should be plenty for our games and finally we have the infamous ever so evasive Radeon rx Vega 56 holy moly so yeah this is gonna be my vega build i believe right at least at least small form-factor for sure but this is a fantastic little card that has well it was destined to have great price to performance based on the initial price that AMD promised us and then with all of the you know price gouging or whatever you want to call it now this card is going for about five hundred and fifty dollars on new egg and amazon if not more and it's also very hard to find so this build sorry guys if you were trying to part out this exact system this might be the only part that you have trouble acquiring and even for a decent price you might have to overpay if you really want one of these guys but since I have it I'm gonna use it a lot of you guys are noticing the RX Vega 64 that's just been chillin on top of the RGB build in the background in my videos saying Kyle why aren't you using that Vega card it's just collecting dust well I've this this one was collecting dust too so I'm gonna use it today I'm very excited to use it though it is it is super fast for you know if it was 399 like AMD promised in us initially then it's technically got a better price to performance than the gtx 1070 just ever so slightly but still and yeah i guess we're gonna run some benchmarks to see i'm very cute to see how it performs with the the 1600 there so that should be pretty cool too but those are pretty much all the parts ladies and gentlemen the total cost of this build comes to a rabb a ston you know depending on what you pay for the RX vega 56 you're looking at anywhere from 1300 to about $1500 for everything here so like i said this is sort of on the cusp of you know between mid tier and high-end gaming system you guys can take your pick but there you guys have it so without further ado let's go ahead and start piecing together this small form-factor AMD gaming machine wait why am I doing this I have employees now Heather you're building a PC today alright guys so wifey sauce has completed the build took you and Chris about oh about two hours two hours more or less well well Chris had to film you guys and he did that I'm sure he did a fantastic job I'm sure yes he is a very useful intern I shall use him use him in multiple ways but head of the bill to go overall it looks like it looks like it went pretty smoothly hold on let me go ahead and slide this guy out let's take a look here take a quick gander okay you got the yeah it looks like everything is installed you there's no fundamental parts missing I see a graphics card I see a CPU and a cooler or I don't see the CPU did you install the CPU okay making sure so so I guess what's what were you expecting going into this build and and did reality meet your expectations or not expect it to be that difficult but the one thing that gave me some trouble was the cable management like since there's no like tie-down spots or anything having to like figure out how we're you know tie the cables down this stuff was plentiful and it doesn't look as clean as a normal adult does because you can't tie down the cables behind yes I could usually do so that was a little frustrating putting the cables in it was like it was pretty tricky at one point yeah the agent a pin for the CPU I just could not reach down in there so I had to take a zip tie and hold them together in place so that I can use both hands just put the two four pin connectors you actually zip tied together in order to sort of hit it back there without it going all of its money there's no way that's I've actually never had to do that but it's good to know that that works because I'm sure that there's gonna be some point where it where I needed to use that trick looks pretty clean I mean all things considered yes that's true there are no tie-down points from what I can see behind the motherboard tray although there's probably not any room for cables back there anyway I think just the way in this case is designed since the windows on top which pretty much only shows your video card they probably weren't you know twopence you can heard about cable management on the interior but it looks like for what you were given you did a pretty decent job I can see you stashed a lot of the excess cabling inside of the drive cage because there was only one drive that you had to mount off of the motherboard right the MTU goes on the motherboard and then you had that one two and a half inch mechanical drive why didn't you mount that drive to this tray on on top it's too big cage it was too big okay yeah so I guess yeah you know generally the two and a half inch SSD is slightly smaller than a two and a half inch mechanical it seems but overall looks pretty awesome were there any like oh moments that you ran into at any points along the builds or yes that's an odd that's a nodding of the other yes what there was a big oh there was a big how big of a was it so after I was done after I was done you know assembling the computer and I was like oh I'm done yeah I can show Kyle uh-huh you know I had you know when I was building I obviously took this part of the case and I put it off to the side and then I'm just building in this part of the case right yeah and the cables the front panel connectors and cables were are connected to this side so I had completely forgot about plugging those in yep and so I had it all assembled and you know how difficult they are because they're so tiny yeah and I like especially with a small form-factor build it's yeah so I wait I grab psycho I'm done yeah we can see it all put together and I grab this and I just looked at Chris and I was like looks like you got really lucky though because it looks like other front panel connectors are on the right it's gonna say what saved me what you're not there not being blocked by any of the other components at all so it looks like you just had to plug them in and tuck the cables away so you got really lucky there dodged a big big bullet but yeah I guess that's something to consider is that just the way this case works is that you you sort of do all of your building outside of the case entirely and so you don't really realize that there are front panel connectors attached to the shell that still need to get plugged in to the to the innards here so look overall honey excellent job Bravo high-five high-fives all around and good job to you Chris I think I think I think you do too I was wondering what that donor was for and it it is for eating that is now confirmed I will have to have a bite of that after we shoot no no thank you fellers for watching we heard toss a like on the video if you enjoyed it you can also check out the little truck our ad free early access channel for about 15 months first two weeks are completely free you can back out and I don't like doing videos with donut in my mouth it tastes good but it feels wrong I'm so conflicted right now okay guys have a good one bye I
