the defined iOS is quiet compact and it's built for mini ITX water-cooled systems just like this one but watch out if you get one Josh might just show up for your house randomly fractal design to find Nano as is small quiet and built for mini ITX water-cooled systems just like this one but if you get one watch out because frankly josh might just show up at any minute note Kyle's full of oh well I was immersive and pulse still Nigeria we've been here for like an hour dudes get the hell outta here excellent what's up guys and welcome to my build video for July I planned out all these parts at the beginning of this month in my July builds video so check that out and stay tuned for my August builds video where I'm gonna have a couple more builds for you and you can help me decide which one I will put together for next month links to all these parts is down in the description below and there's also a like button down there you should click that if you enjoy monthly build videos okay let's go over all these parts before we move on to me actually assembling the thing this is a $1,200 build would be awesome for PC gaming and VR by the way and the case is going to be the NZXT s340 this is the black and red version and I'm told this is a slightly new revision with some upgrades so I'll show you guys what those are of course we need a processor so that's going to be the Intel Core i5 6600 K the most reasonably priced overclockable quad core Intel processor yeah that's reasonable to pool it we have the crown rig h7 because these unlock versions of the Intel processors don't come with coolers this is a very nice air cooler looks pretty sweet so me about 35 bucks for our motherboard we have the MSI z170a gaming m3 which is a sort of mid-range z170 board has all the features we need it's black and red that matches you know and Elstein what else do you need from a motherboard and it's MSI so it'll match with the graphics card which is right up here this is the msi geforce gtx 1070 probably the most expensive part of this build but well worth it because it's a very powerful graphics card and msi is cooler on this one does a really good job i already tested it in sli so if you want to check that video out i'll put linked to it via a card in the top right hand corner power supplies EVGA 650 GQ 650 watt power supply gets a job done pretty quiet all black cabling partially modular - I'll see one finally we have our memory and our storage and these are actually slightly different from the parts in the parts list just for the sake of putting this together not too much different but this the SanDisk Ultra - 960 gig though actually got on Amazon Prime day for like a hundred and sixty-five bucks it was a really good deal I don't think it's available anymore so anyway this is a stand-in it's still black and red so it'll still match and then for memory instead of a red with black accents 2 by 8 gig kit I have a black with red accents 4 by 4 gig kit so it's still the same amount of memory just two more two more sticks and it's black but still g.skill ripjaws 5 so yeah it'll get the point across anyway those are the parts I'm going to build them into a computer so let me quickly run down the updates to the s340 case here first off the ever-so-popular cable management bar very distinct right here to manage cables has been made a little bit narrower by about 5 millimeters this is to allow for thicker radiators so such as the kraken X 41 you can now fit it up and up you can you can fit it in there a little bit more easily which is always helpful the next update is on the bottom the power supply filter at the bottom has been upgraded so I'm guessing they maybe made the plastic pull this fruitier or just sort of redesigned it to made it make it more sturdy more easy to actually pop on and off and again it goes on and off pretty easily there so that's nice and finally we have a PCIe slot base cover that has been added which honestly I'm not a hundred percent sure what that means because I do not have that much familiarity with the original s340 the original s340 had a gap though here so I'm told and this this was redesigned in the Razer version of this case first so I mean things look pretty cleaned out here as far as I can tell you do have this panel here which can be shifted back and forth this this little slot panel and and remove it too if you want that I mean everything's pretty tight you down here so can you guys in the comments let me know what is different about this compared to the original s340 because I can't really tell you you you and the build is complete let me just wrap up with some closing thoughts here guys and some comments on how this build went I really really liked how it turned out especially these being all off-the-shelf parts it's kind of got you know the black main color red as a secondary and then some white accents and highlights in there as well even goes very well with the red LEDs and the white LEDs on the MSI graphics card which I think in this situation is actually a perfect combination of course this white LED on the msi 1070 can turn RGB but I think white it's probably going to be the best option for it as far as the case I figured out I believe what they were talking about with PCI Express brackets there's an extra piece it kind of goes vertically right here just provide some cover instead of a gap now you just remove it to install graphics card so probably depending on the graphics card since this is a taller one I did have to pop that off to remove it but all-in-all just kind of cleans up the back I believe the prior rigged h7 seems to be doing a really good job everything's really quiet right now I haven't installed Windows yet I will be installing Windows 10 and doing a few basic tests to give you guys some performance and following up on that with another video but installation for the cry rig was not bad at all especially if you've installed an aftermarket CPU cooler before it's got a plastic base plate and you got to kind of poke the screws through you do have to screw the thing in from the back of the motherboard which is a little bit less convenient but it does give you the option to actually not remove the fan I guess you could you could go that route if you wanted to other than that though I think anyone who happens to get this particular set up and build this particular system will be very happy with it I'm expecting it to be very powerful as well if I was to do anything different with this build I probably take this hundred and forty millimeter fan from the top and move it to the front right now there's no front intake so it definitely has negative air pressure I think it's still going to work fine but that's just something I would do out of preference I know guys let me know what you think of this build and if any of you are planning to build it - give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this video thank you so much for watching stay tuned I'll be back with more very soon
