hey everyone and welcome to Pauls hydride this is my monthly builds video for March 2016 I do this video every month well not this video but a new video like this every month because choosing parts for new PC can be confusing sometimes so each month I create a couple couple computer build parts lists these are both based on your votes and your feedback and I also build them sometimes too so if you guys want to check it out I have my builds playlist link down in the description so you can check out fabulous builds that I've done in the past like my my parents new system and a few other builds that I've done recently apart from that I am also streaming this live to twitch so hello and welcome anyone who's watching this live on Twitch I appreciate you guys being here apart from that this is this does involve some interaction I should also remember how to speak part of doing this interaction which is via a straw poll and that straw poll is linked in the description down below if you're watching this on YouTube and the straw poll for last month for my March builds was which of these five systems do you guys want to see and you all voted on the $1500 reasonably epic gaming system so that's kind of what I'm going to be doing I'm actually going to be doing two $1500 reasonably epic gaming systems if you guys want to vote for next month's because I will be doing this again next month and I will post this in chat for you guys if you wanna vote right now get a head start on everyone else I have a VR bill the Nashville to video editing build full gaming setup including system monitor and peripherals for $1,000 or what I'm calling the potential PC which is a very low budget system but with a lot of upgrade potential so maybe that could be fun too what else my forgetting to say today again I'm gonna be doing the $1500 reasonably epic gaming system I'm gonna do it two different ways the first way is gonna be based on the mainstream skylake LGA 1151 platform and then the second way is gonna be based on the enthusiast haswell-e LGA 2011 - three platform both of these are Intel platforms sorry to any of you AMD fans out there it's just getting to be that point where I have a really hard time recommending AMD I did an 8350 build last month and that was my last ever and 3 plus platform build if look into AMD I highly recommend holding off and waiting until their next generation platform watches sometime this year and four and all that good stuff so a few more notes before we dive in first what is it the cost I'm listening here is just for the system that doesn't include monitor or peripherals or Windows for example though you can get Windows for 20 bucks as I've recently mentioned over on kinguin net I'm also gonna be using PC part picker for this because it's a fabulous website where you can use compatibility filters to narrow down all of your choices and get everything lined up um if you guys check it out I have a saved parts list as well for all the old builds going back from March February don't go back too far cuz they tend to get a little bit out of dates but let's kick it off actually now I said it backwards but we're gonna actually start off with the 5820 build and the 5820 build I think is a very reasonable one so again both of these are $1500 both of them share some some remarkable similarities in there for instance their storage configuration and their memory configuration but the 5820k build is more CPU powerful and a little bit less GPU powerful although both of these are still going to make excellent gaming systems here you can see all the parts as listed even get star wars battlefront right when you get that r9 fury cuz they're people still playing that game anyway this one's coming in at just under $1500 and let's just get started right into it with the CPU which is the 5820k this one's actually very similar to my entry-level x99 system but I'm glad to say that since a few months have passed since I did that build this one is eat well it's more powerful and it's about the same amount of money so starting with 5820k which is super awesome and yeah I don't know what else to say about it that's the CPU you should get if you're jumping in here it's available on super MS there's super buys or whatever that is for three hundred and seventy seven dollars which isn't too bad that's actually just about the same price as the 6700 K also if you hear rumbling in the background it's a train I can do nothing about it that's alright for a cooler since these CPUs don't come with coolers the the high-end Intel enthusiast ones I've got the new cooler master hyper 212 X this one's it's like the hyper 212 Evo but there's an X on the end which makes it much better primarily the difference here is the fan that's included which is no longer as sort of a I didn't like the see-through fan they had before this one's a little bit nicer I think and they have upgraded the bought the base of it a little bit with the copper contacts anyway it's 40 bucks as opposed to 30 to 25 that you can get the hyper 212 Evo for but you know it's new and I think you do get a little bit more value with the fan that's included here it is much better PWM I'm sorry much much better static pressure performance your motherboard we're going with the msi x99s is a budget x99 board and this definitely where you're gonna have to spend more money if you're going with the x99 platform is all the motherboards so they kind of start off at like 170 to 180 and that's for the budget end whereas with z170 which we're gonna be talking about in a minute you're gonna have to pay a bit more for that so I like the x99 Raider because I don't know it's got a decent amount of features for it it's got you know all eight DIMM slots so you can start out with a four dimm configuration for memory and then you can add four more in the future if you want to it's got that kind of brown PCB which isn't quite as nice as some of the black PCBs but you know it gets the job done and then apart from that you might notice that some of the reviews here where I was looking at this as I was choosing this board and some of them were kind of like so so most of these complaints were about enabling XMP and the memory performance memory performance is often highly dependent on your CPU just in case you guys didn't know so if you try to enable X like XMP for a 3000 speed memory kit and like it doesn't work don't blame your motherboard blame your CPU that's an overclocked memory speed and you know that's not the same motherboards can't have like you know defective memory channels or anything like that but just something to keep in mind anyway this is available for a hundred and ninety dollars at Newegg but I believe there's some other places that have it cheaper so yeah Amazon has it for 188 out of the right out of the box or if you go to outlet PC you can get it for 190 and then minus a $20 man rebate I usually don't include mail-in rebates and my PC part picker lists but they are there and available for people who want them but yeah featured sellers get out of there okay next up is memory I basically used the PC part picker filters to narrow down a 16 gig memory kit 4x4 gigs I didn't go with superfast memory because it's really not going to make that much of a difference and I chose this team elites kit because it's pretty much all black that's kind of like a little bit of gold on there I guess a little blingy it's also low profile I appreciate low profile memory kits because they're gonna give you a better future compatibility with CPU coolers and that kind of thing for storage I have a single 480 gig SSD I was gonna try to add in some some like a 2 terabyte hard drive here as well but I did not do that mainly because I I ran out of money but a 480 gig for an SSD is pretty good to start off with also there is an m dot 2 slot on this motherboard but I didn't go with that one because those are more expensive but I feel like starting off with a 4 turn 80 gig drive like this is gonna give you plenty of space for an operating system and some games and stuff drop in an old mechanical hard drive or something like that to give yourself some additional storage if you need it and then maybe consider upgrading to an m2 card in the future alright this one for the graphics card I went with the sapphire r9 fury the r9 fury is like if your ex but it's air-cooled and still pretty awesome this one's from sapphire this one has very good reviews what's up sapphire Edie if you're watching I doubt you are but hey it looks pretty nice too it also has that kind of subtle black look with maybe just a little bit of kind of copper or gold colors on it which I think will kind of blend them with the rest this and you can now get a fury 4-5 little over $500 if you're in the US which is super nice lastly you know not lastly but rounding out the rest of the parts we have the NZXT h4 40 I figured if every single case that was in Kyle's recent let's what's Kyle's new bit that he's doing booted in Kyle's booted season one every single case that that was in the finals was built in an h4 40 so this is a very well-respected case from NZXT it's 100 bucks it's got it's got all the room you could need it's got all the features you could need you might need to remove a hard drive tray to fit in that longer graphics card and that's about it finally for the power supply I've really been like an EVGA power supplies because they just seem to have the feature set that most I most look for which is I want a highly rated one so I want 80 plus Golder better I want it to have a decent amount of power that this is 750 watts and I want the cables to be all black so we don't have any of the catch ketchup and mustard garbage and that is what's EVGA has been doing with theirs they also have these flat ribbon cables which I find are pretty convenient for cable management so there you go there's the power supply and there yeah there's there's our first build let you guys think $1,500 reasonably epic gaming system I like the $1500 price point for for a computer build especially for a gaming builder like a gaming slash workstation because even though like if you younger and you don't have as much money or you know you're just trying to get into building your own PC it's difficult to say I'm gonna drop 1500 but if you you know if you can save up that much or just kind of hit that that price point you can really get yourself into the upper tiers of what's available especially when it comes to GPUs and CPUs and you will get a lot more lifespan I think out of you're out of it build if you're spending this much alright let's move on to the second build which is right here also a $1500 build and this time I went with the other platform which is Intel's most recent skylake LGA 1151 is the socket the there's a bunch of chipsets but the one we're going to be using here is e170 since we have a 6700 K and for this one you have more GPU horsepower with a 980 TI which will outperform the fury dependend in most situations right now okay if you can see all the parts right here you might notice I actually came in just a little bit over one thousand five hundred and fourteen dollars so this is this is just a little bit a little bit too much and not too much it's just a little bit over but the reason for that is because I was originally actually putting this together with 6600 K so if you want to cut 130 to 140 dollars off of the price of this build get a 6600 K but when I came up with everything and I was about at about 1400 I was like well I think the best next the best thing to do beyond this like to get more power practically is to jump up to the 6700 K and it's not as overpriced as it was a few months ago it's down to about 375 360 depending where you get it NCIX US has it for three six - although apparently it's out of stock but whatever outlet PC has it for 375 though cool but yeah still pretty expensive also I'm hungry it's lunch time but anyway I wanted to pair that up with a nice CPU cooler and as much as I am a big fan of the hyper 212 the Evo and the the hyper 212 X that coolermaster just came out with I'm like I want to find some other alternatives for that so this is the fantex pH TC 1 to DX underscore BK she's just brilliantly named but anyway don't buy this a new egg because it's 70 bucks buy it at a NCIX it's 50 bucks there so about ten dollars more than the hyper 212 X and it looks a lot cooler it's got a black you know anodized finish down there comes with two fans instead of one and according to reviews and all it's very quiet and it does a very good job at you know keep keeping your CPU nice and cool so there you go fantex cooler which they need to come up with a better name for and that will keep your 67 or k nice and chilly for your motherboard we got the Asus z170a I was looking at some MSI crate editions cuz this after I chose that cooler I was like this is gonna be a black and white build the MSI crate Edition is nice but I like to z170a from Asus just a little bit better they make some damn good motherboards and I think this one is no exception it also has some features like USB type-c and USB 3.1 which I definitely appreciate I also have the new egg page for this so I could show you up more up close has even got a PCI slot because backwards compatibility right but yeah other than that it's got that nice black and white finish that Asus has come out what's kind of like the x99 deluxe it's in the Arctic Panther back there and to pair that up with some nice color matching memory of some Kingston HyperX fury 16 gig kits so I have the same amount of memory on both of these build 16 gigs got the same amount of storage as well with about 480 gigs this is the a data Premier SP 550 I keep using this because when I keep going to the PC part picker list and I and I drill down stuff and I'm looking at storage the a data Premier SP 550 comes up in the like lowest price by 5 or 10 bucks compared to a lot of the copper options and again it's not the fastest of the fast when it comes to your SSDs that are out there but it will do a very good job next is a graphics card and here I was very happy to be able to drop in a 980 TI this is a nice 980 TI as well it's from gigabytes the 980 TI windforce 3x which you can get for 600 bucks right now at Amazon by the way if you're not in the US and you're on PC part picker you can use this drop-down on the top right to access other other locations for different pricing and stuff and I'm sorry that stuff is inexpensive in the US we've paid for it with our manufacturing anyway I'm getting inside check Amazon has this video card for $600 which is about 50 60 bucks cheaper than the list price and it's a very nice card it's got the three X cooler on it stays nice and chilly and you'd probably be able to get a pretty nice overclock out of that as well again this will outperform that fury in by and large most situations which is why you're going to get more GPU power with this build you'll get more cpu power with the other build alright for a case I just went with the fractal define s reasonably reasonably price reasonably priced case that looks pretty nice and it's got that window on the side so you can see your beautiful black and white theme to build and that's another reason why I chose this case was because I already have black and white parts and fractal kind of has that black and white thing locked down so nice little case I've talked about it before finally we have the power supply which is the EVGA 650 watt 80 plus gold certified this is the same exact power supplies 650 GQ as I showed you guys in the first build I just I didn't want to be too much over so I cut it down to 650 watts which is still perfectly fine for the system as long as you don't add a second graphics card then you're totally good with 650 Watson a 980 TI and again this has those nice all-black cables which are just super beautiful and will blend in nicely with your build so when you're looking at it through that window on the define S you will be able to see everything it will be pretty but that is all for this video guys I really appreciate you watching it if you're interested in links to any of the
