today we're gonna build a computer today's video is sponsored by Noor DPN a virtual private network service that's designed to keep your information safe encrypted and secure from prying eyes on the internet you wouldn't walk around in your house naked with all the windows open would you okay well maybe you would but that's besides the point why would you do that if you don't want to the same thing happens we can connect to the internet without a VPN anyone can spy on that information so encrypt your data and keep it safe and secure regardless of where you live in the world because they have more than 5,000 servers including regions like the Middle East Asia Europe of course the United States and the Americas and you can keep your information safe and secure this holiday season you can also save 75% off a three-year membership and if you use my offer code J's two cents you can get an extra month for free so what are you waiting for give the gift of security or buy it for yourself by using the link in the description below ok so I'm actually building a computer for my driving instructor you guys have followed my car stuff for a while you know that I do a lot of high-performance driving events or HPD events and I have a driving coach his name is Steven Doherty winner of the 2012 GT Academy and yeah so he has been giving me professional instruction for the last couple years now to make me a better safer faster competitive driver on track well he he hasn't really been into computers I mean he sort of kind of sort of he's mostly been like PlayStation and stuff like I talked about Gran Turismo and about a year and a half ago or so gave him a laptop an MSI laptop but he's been playing some stuff on there like R factor and whatnot but now he's starting to get into virtual reality specifically virtual reality simulators mostly because he spent time on mine and he got bitten by the bug so he hit me up and was like hey can you give me a list of parts and I was like I could do you one better I could build you a better computer then you're gonna go out and buy especially this time of year right now and there won't be any import taxes so parts wise on this I'm actually not going to over the top because I want this video to also sort of serve as a you guys are used to seeing these kinds of builds here right the small form-factor thing we got obviously we've got the titan sitting they're the new r-tx Titan sitting on the test bench and all of its gold glory as well as the gold Ram and stuff here I'll show you ridiculous gold Ram Gold Titan white build it's heavy you know because of all the gold you guys are used to seeing these crazy builds like skunk works and thread Ripper and all that but you know that is not indicative of the average PC enthusiast or builder which is why this is a little bit more modest but yet still amazing when it comes to gaming performance so I'm throwing in a 7700 K on an MSI Z 270 m7 gaming motherboard so it's nice and gunmetal II it says 7700 X ignore the X fill pointed out that I wrote X and it was a K I know my alphabet I had alphabet soup when I was a kid an alphabet what's alphabet cereal so anyway 7700 kz2 7tms im7 gaming motherboard I'm gonna be putting 16 gigabytes of g.skill ddr4 that's obviously because of 7th gen we need ddr4 I may switch this Ram out for something that's not read I don't know I don't know if I'm gonna be doing anything else read in here I know it lights up red but anyway that's kind of besides the point for storage again nothing crazy we've got a 1 terabyte Kingston SSDs are amazing values in fact you can find a link to this down in the description below more than like they'll put a list of all the parts this time of year you can get amazing deals on SSDs but the Kingston SSDs always lesser expensively gave you amazing performance we've used a bunch of these in budget builds and smaller sizes like 128 and 256 they last forever I'm also running a two terabyte Seagate Barracuda because he's not going to be running a lot of titles he's not gonna be running a bunch of storage you know doing videos and pictures and stuff and the load times on that a perfectly fine for games plus what the one terabyte he can put all his important games on here that he wants and then the Barracuda can be his you know whatever he wants on there power supply we're gonna be using the cooler master master what 750 tough gaming Edition and repairing that with cooler masters code is this the master box MB 500 addition if you can't tell that there's a obviously collaborative effort between a soos and Coolermaster on the tough serious stuff been looking for a reason to use this and I think we finally found it in terms of cooling though I think I'm gonna use the H 150 I Pro because it's a 360 I can put a 360 on the front of this and I'm always switch out the fans to RGB you'll produce of course there are DB fans on this because I don't want to do any case lighting but I think if we put enough case fans in here that have lights themselves it will illuminate the build and will look good so let's do this let's go ahead and build it and then what do you do after you build it you install windows some crap like that updates for two days let's get it all ready to ship to him let's make his Christmas amazing now it's important that I reiterate this this build is not about being streamed yes I'm aware that the parts on here are not budget I I never said this was gonna be a budget build I want to give him an amazing build but everything you're gonna see here is just direct bolt-in it's stuff that you can buy off Amazon Micro Center Newegg whatever throw it in your system I'm gonna show you how good a system can look and how well it can technically perform without having to do anything crazy or custom these rigid tube builds and stuff behind me there are fun to do but they're a huge diminishing return in terms of performance to cost so it's one of those things where this build right here we're not going over the top of the power supply like I mention were using a 750 watt you guys know I like to put a thousand watt and everything even like a budget build I would throw a thousand watt in there because I just like fighting big power supplies in there we're not going too crazy on the RAM we could have gone with eight gigs and been flying I would want to make sure that no matter what he decides to use he's going to have plenty of performance and in fact for graphics on that I forgot to even mention I'm gonna also be putting in for graphics though I want to see if the ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 amp Extreme Edition will fit in there because the accent colors for the tough Edition are actually yellow and this has got a gunmetal and yellow look which would match our motherboards yes I know I know how it sounds matching colors this and that people building rhaegar systems don't usually have the luxury of matching colors well fortunately in my inventory I have the ability to do it and I want to do it and I want to give him the best experience that he can't look at that was he gonna fit in there it will look at hello that isn't the case just okay Phil says this looks like Vegas because of all the flashing lights and stuff I like the particular blinking lights I have it set to you right now so you use a little Corsair controller that's in the back side of the case to change the lighting config these lights that I used are not they don't plug into RGB header on the motherboard which means you can't control them with software which unfortunately means now we've got MSI mystic light to control the RGB on the motherboard and I think we have to download the zotac software to control the hiding on the motherboard or the graphics card and then we have a different controller to control the lights that are in the case so obviously the next thing has to do is install an operating and stuff and our operating system and get everything updated BIOS updates Driver updates and all that stuff I just want to show it does boot everything works we're running at 29 C on the CPU right now at 4.2 gigahertz on the 7700 K we got 16 gigabytes of Kingston HyperX or notice' HyperX it's the Kingston predator RAM which is actually the first set of ddr4 that ever reviewed on this channel when it first came out the zotac GT X 1080 amp extreme is obviously going to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to VR I'd have no problems running games like project cars or iRacing or whatever when it comes to virtual reality and then this system will last him quite a few years when it comes to be able to play additional games in the future like I said he has a gaming laptop now this is a huge upgrade from that and I think he's really going to enjoy it so we will be doing a complete build guide here in the near future though a building kind of like the ultimate 9900 K system again not gonna be like rigid tube or water-cooled or anything like that just again off-the-shelf parts and stuff but designed for people who are maybe this Christmas getting their first PC parts and they're uncomfortable putting it together we're gonna do a revised and brand new xx end of 2018 build guide so stay tuned for that if you're curious about building your first computer or you're getting ready any guys I'm gonna go this was just an opportunity for me to shoot another build video if you're into computers and stuff it's always fun to watch it getting put together and it's even more fun to watch me fumble through the process I mean look at the table remember that video idea where I went to NZXT and I saw their BLD service and I said that they're not builders they're robots because they are not messy these guys aren't builders they're way too organized I think they're robots that's what I ended up with on the table and all I did was build this and I did it in about three times the amount of time that they build it in and their stuff is even neater so the difference between building it every single day for a living and then building it for fun like I kind of do so anyway I digress thanks for watching guys as always I'll see you in the next one this is thicker
