$700 & $1050 RYZEN 5 GAMING BUILDS! April 2017

2017-04-07
well hello everyone and welcome to my monthly builds series this is my April builds video every month at the beginning of the month I do a couple parts lifts prior to builds so you guys at home if you've never built a computer before if you're just looking for some tips can find some good suggestions for different builds at different price points and for different purposes this month's build of course are going to be based on rise in five processors which are not out right now but they will be launching on April 11th so I have 1050 dollar budget build in the budget by the ways for the tower and all the hardware inside not including Mouse monitor keyboard and perhaps a Windows license but for $1,050 a Rison v 1600 X based system this is a six core 12 thread processor and that's also going to have a gtx 1070 paired with it and then for about $700 I have a risin 5 1400 build which is a quad core with 8 threads and that's paired up with an RX 480 and that's again 700 bucks so really really good prices for these builds but if you guys are interested and actually me putting some stuff together then definitely check out my builds playlist which I will link right over here I look I just finished my March builds it's April now I'm actually like pretty much caught back up now it's only the first week of April and I'm actually doing my April builds video this is unprecedented and I'm very happy about it of course there is some interaction with you guys though you all vote on what I do every month so next month in May I basically have a bunch of prices listed here since we're finally going to be getting past this launch cycle that we've been going through the past month or two so I really just want to know what budget you guys are mainly looking for out there I'll probably choose a couple budgets and do gaming PC's based on those but please vote and let me know and of course this month's build if it wasn't already obvious our horizon 5 based system based on last month's suggestions and 1080i not as popular perhaps as I was expecting but Vega is not out yet still either so we were going to go with the rise in 5 anyway so let's get started with my first build $1,050 and all these are listed over on PC part picker links to the full builds as well as individual parts and down in the video's description so you get your 1600 X which is going to come in at $250 retail and if you don't want to shave some half the price of this system and get it down below $1,000 definitely consider the 1600 it is still unlocked and overclockable and you could still overclock it and get probably roughly the same performance as a 1600 X of course I can't say too much about that yet because they're not lodged and I'm still in the middle of testing by the way should subscribe to my channel if you want to see my test videos when it actually comes out here's the lineup of risin to 5 products though so again the 1600 X right up here at the top for 250 bucks shave 30 bucks off with the 1600 and still is a 6 quart well thread part and then four hundred and seventy or hundred ninety bucks you can get those quad cores so for a cooler since I'm basing my assumption off of what I got here which is the 1600 X without a cooler so I did add a cooler I've got the master air pro 4 bear in mind if you don't get this one and it doesn't specifically say it's a m4 compatible you will need to contact : master for the am 4 mounting kit for this but they will send it to you free of charge so that's cool only about 40 to 45 dollars for this one and kind of adding to the range of nice air coolers that you can get from the 30 to 45 dollar range you got this one you've also got like the cryo a gate 7 and a maxi TST 40 be quiet has a dark Rock I believe it's done in that range as well so any of those of course will work I'm going to be using this cooling master master air pro 4 for motherboard we have the Asus prime v 350 I definitely would recommend a be 350 motherboard if you're going for one of the rise and 5 processors you can do an X 370 of course as well but they do tend to charge at least a good 3040 bucks more per board for that this one comes in at a hundred bucks and as you can see right here if run Newegg since they tend to have good pictures it's got four dimm slots for memory it's got a good PC I'm sorry it's got a good MDOT 2 location which you might be able to see which is right here actually above the GPU not stuck in below it where it's going to get too warm that isn't that pretty unique look black and red you're not going to be able to see it inside the case that I chose but other than that it's an Asus board so you know it's going to be pretty good quality and all and that should get the job done for you and again less than hundred bucks for memory I wanted to make sure that we were compatible and they could potentially run at a higher speed so I've been sticking with this Corsair Vengeance kit because it's the one I views you can easily run this at 2933 on a writing platform and it's already been validated across most of them other boards that I've checked so that's why I've stuck with it don't rule out other kits especially if you can find something reasonably priced that's thirty two hundred thirty four hundred thirty six hundred speed because getting faster memory speed with Rison if you can get it dialed in is very helpful for an SSD I have a two hundred forty gig SSD and I did this via a parametric filter who knew the zotac made SSDs but hey at least it's got a pretty cool-looking design if you're interested check out the parametric filter and you can see other options that are kind of done in the same price range basically my goal is get yourself a 2.5 inch 240 or 256 gig SSD and you should be able to find that for 70 to 80 bucks get your operating system on that and a few games and then I typically don't include mechanical drives with these builds because I find that most people have one of those lying around so you grab one of those format it and drop it in your system so you have some additional storage or if you really do need a mechanical drive you can get a one or two terabyte drive for thirty to fifty bucks for a graphics card i have a gtx 1070 the one that's chosen here is the zotac 1070 mini which is a nice little card definitely gets the job done again I'm using the parametric filter here so I just wanted to find a gtx 1070 for the most reasonable price and you can get those in the 330 to 360 dollar price range actually 335 for that ZOTAC card so that's definitely the the best deal right now you got gigabyte and EVGA and other options down here to those so if you find one that's a good price so that has a rebate or something that you find will match it of course will fit in the case then go for it for the case I have the old standby NZXT s340 black and red this is just a very solid case looks really nice and it's only $70 I was actually trying to find something that maybe was a little bit less expensive than this but I mean for the price and for what you get it's really tough to beat this 340 there are a few other options down in that range of course but since we already had kind of a black and red motherboard and did I mention that you wouldn't be able to see the motherboard I was kidding about that you will be able to see the motherboard with this build what's the cheaper build it's not a Windows case so you won't be able to see it but get yourself an s3 40 70 bucks good deal and then finally we have a power supply 650 watt EVGA one with 80-plus gold for this one because I wanted a little bit better quality and even then you don't have to pay too much seventy three dollars for this one with the $10 mil and rebate in the 7280 dollar range and I chose this one because it's an EVGA 650 watt again gets a job done partially modular but the cabling is all black as you can see right here so it will match and 80 plus gold means it'll stay a little bit on your power bill as well and there's my 1050 dollar bills and I wanted to compare this to the $1200 HP build that I did as four or five months ago now also in an NZXT s340 but now you can get a 6 quart well thread processor and still get that gtx 1070 in there and come in 150 bucks cheaper than you would a couple well just like five six months ago so that's pretty cool and definitely one of the benefits that I was looking for and hoping for when Rison launched was just getting the capabilities of a nice thousand dollar system within the thousand dollar range and still being able to fit high-end stuff like gtx 1070 and of course your horizon 5 1600 x next we have a $700 rise in 5 1400 build this is paired up with an Rx for 80 but man 700 bucks and this is going to be a nice fast gaming system suitable for 1080 you could even do 1440 with this system of course at the heart is again that rise in 5 1400 CPU this is the lowest end one for 170 dollars from their eyes and 5 line but again all of them are overclockable so I wouldn't be surprised if you can take the rising 5 1400 and overclock it and get basically in the same range as you would expect with 1500 x4 less money of course for the motherboard actually had a pretty tough choice I was looking at all these different motherboard options that were b3 50 micro ATX down in the 7280 dollar range and I ended up going with an Asus again III was again trying to find some other options there's a bio star and an asrock and a couple others that are down there but they all had compromises that I wasn't quite happy with either for example the m2 slot was tucked under the the actual PCI Express slot which I found to be kind of stupid here it's in the right place on this Asus board several of them were missing expansion slots which I found to be kind of silly for a micro ATX board these do have some 1x lot so you can get them in there I think they're actually writing most of your extra PCIe lanes to the m2 right there this one also has four dimm slots quite a few of the other ones in the strange only had two so based on all that I upped it to about $90 budget for the motherboard and went with this Asus one simply because of what's available where it is on the board and I do want to point out that the reviews from this at least on Newegg are not spectacular so far but I do believe that quite a few of these motherboards have been going through some growing pains and EFI updates have been helping to solve a lot of those issues you should still be able to overclock on this board with an EFI update at least same memory for this system once again a cake kit ddr4 3000 I just know it's going to work I'm sorry not quite the same memory this is an 8 gig kit instead of 16 but 8 gigs you should still be able to get by with and again four dimm slots so you can add eight more if you decide to in the future again I went with the the parametric filter for storage so again the choice here based on that would be the zotac SSD but you can like get an OCD try on 154 also 70 bucks or another ZOTAC Drive and Enzo tech had so many SSDs not offer look you can even get this SK Hynix which is all white which actually is a really cool design I like that SSD that's what we did the white build with like quite a few years ago anyway so yeah I got the zotac again to anaphora gig SSD in there and then video card again I went with the parametric filter choice again for this one is going to be the msi RX for 80 armor but again right around the 220 to 240 dollar range quite a few options from MSI XFX asus gigabyte so check those all out see which one you like the best don't get a reference design give something that is a an aftermarket design like this MSI one because they have better coolers and they're going to keep temperatures down and potentially allow you to have better overclocking as well next we have a case the thermal take versa H 15 this is a micro ATX case solid reviews it's about 40 bucks it's going to get the job done again it's not a side panel window on there anything like that but plenty of ventilation and again I went through several reviews on this before I chose it because they're all pretty solid they're like you know there's nothing super special about this case but it's got some dust filters in there it's got everything where you need it to be it's micro ATX so it fits and yeah there's there's your case finally we of course need a power supply once again once with EVGA because it's just I don't know when I'm looking at the price and what's there what's available is a pretty good deal less than 40 bucks even again another $10 million rebate you guys can't see it because I'm blocking it but there it is and the cabling on this one is not good you do have ketchup and mustard going on so bear that in mind it's not going to be pretty but as 500 watts at 80 plus bronze it's going to get your system up and running and you're going to be good to go with a $700 quad core 8 thread system with a jeep with an Rx 480 in it that's it's really nice for 700 bucks so I hope you guys have enjoyed this video and stay tuned because not only am i doing builds I'm going to build one of these builds probably the 1600 X based one because I already have that on hand although I think I might be picking up a 1400 as well because I feel like that's a very compelling chip I want to see how it over clocks finally if you haven't already subscribed you should because dries in 5 reviews are coming really really soon April 11th again is the launch date for these processors leave me some comments in the comment section let me know if you have any suggestions things you would add to or take away from these builds or feel free to post your builds parts lists down there as well if you have suggestions or other ideas thank you guys so much for watching this video hit the thumbs up button on your way out and we'll see you next time
