excellent what's up guys welcome to my monthly builds video for September 2016 each month I create a couple computer build parts lists based on your votes and feedback from the previous month so last month I did a straw poll everybody voted about what builds they wanted to see this month and look what 1/4 way gtx titan x pascal just cause so that's what i'm gonna be doing today i also did the second runner-up the $500 basic bang for the buck back to the school build so those are the two builds we're going to be seeing and if you want to vote for next month's for october the link is down in the description i'm going to do a mid to high end $1,500 gaming pc with windows if you're noticing noises going on the background that's here oh he's stretching out and relaxing spooky halloween themed build dual system living room build anyway check those out and vote if you want to see one or one or more of them anyway before I move on to the David and Goliath systems from this month I want to also point out that back in July I started actually building one of these systems every month I have actually not yet built the 3500 system that I teased for August mainly because Corsair asked if I wanted to build in a new case gem trick well here I moved into a really inconvenient position here oh you're in the way it's very cool can you scooch over just a little bit alright now you're coming over here to say hello yes your your cutest no more no build videos will just give you pets good boy stay Wow anyway though first they asked if wanted to build it in a new case that's right here this is the air 740 from Corsair it is also a cube style case it is brand new but it's very similar to the air 540 that I had chosen for last month's build so I'm going to be building in that and that will be in the next couple days actually I'm probably going to do that live tomorrow if everything goes according to plan so I'll be tweeting about that so follow me at Paul Hardware on Twitter if you want to check that out but anyway back to my monthly build so I've been doing this for quite some time actually I have my whole history right here going to back to all of my builds but these are the two for this month again the Goliath $15,000 build and then a much much much more reasonable $500 bill we'll start off with the $500 build right here by the way I'm using PC part picker for all these so those links will be in the description as well as individual links to all the products used this is actually a less than five hundred dollar bill came out to four hundred and seventy one dollars and ninety cents with shipping on PC part picker starting off with an IEEE 360 103 point 7 gigahertz dual-core CPU available for around 110 to 115 dollars and this is a dual core and it is a lower-end skylake cpu but it does still very good instructions per clock it's got a really nice out-of-the-box frequency 3.7 gigahertz and if I didn't already mention it does have hyper threading so it will give you four threads so it can fool some games that require four cores into thinking you actually have four cores even though you might not now my original intent with the system was to make the entire thing upgradable so that you could add a bit more money later on but I kept coming up against these choices of budget versus slightly more money for a little bit more upgradable thing and I eventually just decided to go all budget so for example with the motherboard it's a be 150 chipset so upgrading to an unlocked processor isn't really gonna I mean you could but you don't really want to you could still upgrade the processor you just won't be able to overclock in the future but sixty bucks for that is a really good price for in a nice little micro ATX motherboard I've used a similar motherboard to this and builds in the past again it'll just kind of get the job done it is lacking in some features so you've only got two DIMM slots for example so you're only did a single stick of memory so you can still expand the memory there's only a single fan header so you'll want to keep that in mind as well just make sure you get a splitter or something to use if you need to plug in all your case fan headers and no MDOT two or anything fancy but upshot is it's going to get the job done and it's only 60 bucks for memory I just went with a single stick of g.skill Aegis eight gig this is only $34 this is this was a dollar or two more than a comparable green PCB stick so I did see I did spend a little bit more money so that I wouldn't have a green PCB component in there but again this will get the job done and I went with a single stick because eight gigs I feel like is a good jumping-off point for a gaming PC and you can just drop in a second stick for another thirty four dollars in the future if you want to for the SSD and yes I only included an SSD in here it's 240 gigs and if you're worried about not having enough space my assumption is always that people have an old hard drive a one or two terabyte hard drive lying around somewhere that they can use and I'd much rather have the fast SSD working even with 240 gigs you can it's operable for a while if you don't have additional storage and this 8081 just keeps being the best price option out there it's not the fastest 2.5 inch SATA SSD I keep saying the same thing every time but it is only 58 59 dollars at NCIX right now for 240 gig version and then finally for the graphics card and one that you get by trading on rx for 60 this is the 4 gig version that's 2 gig version I wanted that extra extra horsepower in there but it's got a nice design it's orange in black it's not the you know crazy well-built or anything like that but it is an Rx 460 so you know rather than in my hundred and thirty dollars ish for this one and if I was going to take a single component in this build and upgrade its I wanted to do an RX 470 in here originally but that is about 60 bucks more so that pushed the price up to more like 530 but consider that as a serious option if you really are seriously looking at building this system oh I said finally but I'm not I'm not done yet fractal design core 1100 is the case micro ATX mini tower again gets the job done that's only about 40 bucks this is the 1100 not the 1000 you know nothing too special but it'll get you up and running finally for power supply EVGA 450 watt 80 plus bronze there's other options down in this range from like Corsair and Rosewell even but I just keep going with the EVGA power supplies this one does not have all black cabling or anything like that but it's for 150 watts perfectly adequate for this build and it is only $37 there are some other options that were out there from EVGA and a couple more for 10 to 20 dollars more that have a little bit better aesthetics and all black cables and that kind of thing but again just trying to get things running so that is the first build only a little over $470 so let me know what you guys think of it and let's move on to the second build which is the Big Daddy this is $15,000 or rounded up it actually costs one thousand four hundred eighty dollars and 69 cents one thousand sorry fourteen thousand eight hundred and thirty dollars and sixty nine cents so you can round that up or you know since this really is only the price for the case and I did have Windows in there you know use that extra one hundred and seventy dollars two years self-monitor peripherals that will totally match with everything else here so I wanted to do something more than just going sort by highest price for every single component and throwing it all in there to make the most expensive this is believe it or not somewhat reasonable somewhat that is probably not exactly accurate but I tried to not just be like here's the most expensive things all right so obviously the CPU is going to be the i7 69 50x yes you could go slightly cheaper and get yourself like a 69 hundred but then you wouldn't have 10 cores or you could go to Z on route I cannot go and talk about this without mentioning the possibility of getting a crazy high core count Xeon but you won't be able to overclock those they won't have quite as good instructions per clock and really there's just no way around the six 950 X plus only 16 hundred and fifty dollars that's $50 less than it launched at for 1700 it's a deal now for cooling of course we have a Corsair h 110 I if I was being awesome myself and building a 15 grand system I would probably do a custom loop for it but that's a little bit too complicated for this type of video so the H 110 I will get the job done and it has our GB lighting and I know it's just at least got insert so you can change the color of it to match a little bit better for the motherboard this one I was actually a low I there are quite a few really high-end motherboards for x99 that cost five or six hundred dollars each this is the Asus x99 e WS or workstation and it is really expensive costs in the $700 range right now although honestly I think this is a jacked up price because it's also over on Newegg for just over five hundred dollars it's even in stock and everything so I'm not really sure what the deal is here just don't buy this on Amazon if you see it but basically what you have here is an SSI CEB motherboard so that is a server specification for the actual layout but don't worry the case I chose will fit it this is not a new generation x99 board this came out back when the first generation has well ease came out so as a result you do have an m2 slot which is kind of up there in the upper right which you put here let me click on this thing you have an MDOT - I've got it rotated the motherboard I'm so confused M not twos like right here and you've got of course four-way SLI supports the thing that this really has and the reason I chose it is Dule plx bridges now because from the cpu you have 40 lanes with a haswell-e or Broadwell II CPU and that's not enough because if you're putting four-way tighten X Pascal's in all four of your slots then you're using up thirty-two PCIe lanes right there just with your graphics card not including any peripherals or additional storage or anything else you might add so I wanted to have as much bandwidth via the PCIe lanes as possible this is really the only way to go about it besides that it's a really nice-looking board and it over clocks it's it's it's really solid board I mean all around I don't have too much more to say about that but anyway let's move on to the next thing which is memory 128 gig kit should again obviously be the obvious solution for this and I can put anything less than the max in there here I did save some money though by going with a vengeance LP X memory kit Corsair does does have their Dominator memory which was a good 200 bucks more than this kits however the Dominator memory wasn't available this is faster this is 3,000 speed Dominator kit was 2666 i 2800 I think anyway it's all black it'll blend in right just just nicely and it's not as tall too so and it's cheaper this was again 700 and something versus the Dominator so I think they might even have been close up to a thousand so at this point we have gotten this far down the list we've got through the first four items and we've included Oh about $1,800 for the CPU and cooler another 500 or 700 depending on where you buy it for the motherboard and then another 750 ish for the memory this is all the storage here so you'll notice MDOT - SSD for more SSDs for hard drives and then of course you got the video cards and the other stuff down there so let's continue on with the actual storage I wanted the fastest and most capacity rich m2 SSD that I could find and the OCZ Rd 400 a pretty new SSD in this range is one terabyte and m2 it doesn't have the nicest PCB yeah that's kind of turquoise but it will be covered up by the fourth Titan next Pascal so don't worry about too much too much about this not blending in but one terabyte on a single m2 stick that's pretty freakin impressive if you ask me and it definitely is very good it speeds as well 2600 megabytes per second sequential reads 1550 megabytes per second so punch or writes crazy I ops as well so that'll do you nice for like a boot drive and for quite a few games on it as well now here's another place where I saved you some money if you wanted to go with the very most expensive SSD you can buy right now it's a 4 terabytes Samsung 850 I'm sorry 850 Evo those costs $1500 each though and since I was doing four of them I decided maybe let's save some money get something slightly more reasonable so this is the two terabyte Samsung 850 Pro a much more reasonable cost of around $800 each and of course I did four of them giving your you eight terabytes of presumably raid zero storage which would be probably even faster than that ocz drives that I put in there anyway finally of course we gotta have the mass storage so 10 terabyte drives is about the biggest you can get went with four of these Seagate iron wolf 10 terabyte 3.5 inch 7200 rpm drives these are made for raid I would if I had four of these it's 40 terabytes of storage I probably put it in raid 5 giving myself 30 terabytes usable plus onedrive for failover of course you could do like raid 10 though or something like that as well but I didn't want to double check this at all can be able to connect to the motherboard though so you got your MDOT 2 right here and then basically you have actually 10 SATA ports via the x99 chipset so for them for the yes as these and for them for the those those mechanical drives and you're good to go let's move along to the final couple things one of them is of course going to be that graphics cards that this is the most boring part because it was kind of the given tekneqs Pascal Edition these are $1200 each and you can only buy them directly from in video right now so also your limitations here I'm actually simulating this is that you can only buy two at a time from Nvidia so you'll have to get a friend to buy the other two you have to lend them $2,400 as well and for the case I went for case labs I went directly to their website because they're not listed on PC part picker the Magnum tth 10a is five hundred and ninety dollars and you can customize and stuff like that if you want things to get fancier case labs I've never actually used the case labs case or built in one I've only checked out J's and everything but they're insanely both expensive but also worth the money when it comes to how well-built they're and everything like that this one is is available in grey and it's just got tons of bass and a bunch of different orientation options for the motherboard and all of that good stuff so here as well as with those those those graphics cards is where you will also need to take some extra care when ordering because due to heavy demand custom orders are temporarily suspended until after I guess after July 31st that should work for now that one go order case labs cases all right power supply is EVGA supernova t2 1600 watts no I'm not paid by EVGA to use all their power supplies I actually had the courser ax 1500 ion here which is also 80-plus titanium but it was 1500 watts and when I looked at my actual parts list which has gotten buried here among my tabs again when I looked at it it's a thousand 51 watts recommended and that is not including two of the Titan X GPUs because I had a write in two of them right here because a PC part picker wouldn't let me add more than two of them at a time so yeah I figured just to be on the safe side we'll go with 1600 watts again it is lady plus titanium rated all black cables it's going to look nice etc etc all right got a blu-ray burner in there just just because I'm trolling and you know got it there on everything but the kitchen sink and finally I even included a $30 ration for buying Windows 10 on kinguin because why would you buy Windows 10 anywhere else unless you want to pay a hundred bucks plus for it so there it is guys my $15,000 for wait I'd next build this is I guess kind of what I would do if I really was being forced to build a Titan X 4 way system again there's a lot of impracticality x' in there there's a lot of things you could say as far as aesthetics like custom water cooling or anything like that but if you got lots and lots of money and price is no object and you need the best of the best I would put the system up against lots of other ones as far as just being absolutely crazy and we've even seen forward technics used in gaming recently with the video we talked about in the Alive show this week but guys let me know if you enjoyed this video a thumbs up if you did enjoy it again links to everything is down in the description whether you want to vote in the straw polls or click on the links to any of these products have been talking about orgeous leave me a comment to let me know how wrong I was about these parts or how right I was or just that you're looking forward to all my upcoming content this month that'd be cool too anyway thanks for watching guys and we'll see you next time
