hey everyone and welcome to my builds video for January 2016 basically how this works is every month I create a couple PC parts lists these are all based on your votes in your feedback so this month based on last month's straw poll that I did in in December I'm gonna be building a Haswell or LGA 1155 system these were the votes it was very close we also had PC gaming and streaming systems and several of the other ones like that so thank you to all of you guys who went and voted in that and I do have another straw poll for February so let me go ahead and post that in live chat right now by the way I'm streaming this live as well as uploading it to YouTube later so thanks to all you guys who are jumping in and viewing this live it's very impromptu I don't really have a schedule for these when I record them live but I like recording them live anyway but for next month's if you want to see me do other types of builds in February I included quite a few from last month because I thought there were some good ones PC gaming streaming farewell to am3+ build budget skylake with an 1151 pentium cpu or maybe even one of those ones that you can now overclock with the bc ok or maybe a silent passively cool HTC P I think their HT HT PC I think all of those would be fairly exciting so for this month I'm doing an LGA 1150 build that's a little bit older LGA 1150 is not the current most most up-to-date generation socket from Intel there's currently skylake which is LGA 1151 so what we're doing here is delving into just the recent past in order to make things hopefully a little bit more budget-friendly and since I was also doing a second build this month based around this process right here which is Intel's G 32:58 dual-core overclockable Pentium anniversary edition actually both of these systems are going to be LGA 1150 so go back a month or two if you want to see some skylake builds I've already done a few of those the first one is going to be a gaming system based on your request that's going to be about eight hundred dollar price point second one that I've put together it's going to be about a four hundred dollar price point with the G 32:58 it's a little expensive for a G 32:58 but I'm actually gonna be building this system for my parents next week I'm going to be updating their extremely old and slow computer that they're using right now updating them to an SSD and all that good stuff and I will be doing a video on that so subscribe to my channel if you want to see that when it's out a few quick notes before we dive into the first builds parts list one is that the cost I'm listing is just for the system and the hardware this does not include monitor roll monitor monitor or peripherals unless I say otherwise also does not include an operating system although kinguin is a great place to do that and you can get Windows 10 for like 20 to 40 bucks depending on whether you go am or not I also am going to be using PC part picker because it makes for easy PC parts shopping they also have compatible compatibility filters and all that good stuff and links to these builds are going to be in the description below on YouTube sorry to guys watching live I don't have them ready for you quite yet there's also going to be a strawpoll link to this February voting so you guys can go and vote on that and let me know what you want to see I'm zooming in on the chat instead of this over here yeah that's better all right you can tell me what you want to see in February okay let's dive right into the first build that's this one right here PC part picture so this is about an $800 bang for the buck LGA 1150 PC and I'll be honest I don't usually build with with older hardware like this we're hitting sort of a weird sort of transition point when it comes to all the the Haswell stuff which is that the motherboards are starting to already get harder to find you need a z87 or z97 motherboard if you want at least an overclockable Intel Haswell chip for this particular build I went to 4690k and then the other thing I did since this is supposed to be a bang for the buck system is that I did include or I'm at least gonna reference quite a bit for mail-in rebates because mail-in rebates are a great way to really save on a system you just have to be able to do that front cost and then be diligent about well first testing your build and then turning in the retail rebates like right away alright so our first product is gonna be of course the 4690k I kind of had a few other options here there's of course the lesser I fives that are available but they're not overclockable there's also the Xeon 1233 v3 or whatever it is that you can also drop in here which is a quad core which you can get for about two hundred and twenty dollars now this one if you want a really good at 220 bucks you can get it for in-store pickup at Micro Center chances are if you're buying this online though you're gonna be paying about 230 to 240 dollars bear in mind that a 6600 que is going for about 25 to 35 dollars more than that so that's the price cut you're getting by going with a older process around here and when it comes to strictly to gaming you're not gonna see much of a performance boost by going with skylake the main reason why you might go is skylake over this is just for the newer technology that's available the newer motherboards stuff like nvme supports faster m2 connections and that kind of thing anyway though so I stuck with the 4690k and that's what the rest of the build is based around and you'll see down here at the bottom my total price came out to show you guys total price came up that's a little over $800 but that's not including mail-in rebate so for instance if we look at the hyper 212 Evo which I chose which is kind of just kind of the default you can get it first cheapest 25 bucks with a $10 million rebate or about 30 if you're just buying it straight it straight up the motherboard is the asrock is a 97 extreme 3 this is a lower-end z97 motherboard but again here's we're running into some difficulties with actually finding compatible motherboards for z97 they stock at retailers like Newegg that sell new product is getting smaller and smaller and usually with PC hardware there's a transition stock will start to drop off as parts get to say a year to two old depending on what part you're talking about and then I'll have these secondary retailers who still have new product but they grossly over prices so for instance I was looking at 4770k s as a possible option for this those are all selling at retail for like four hundred and twenty plus dollars which is absurd don't buy a 4770k for that when you can get a 6700 K which is two years newer for cheaper anyway you can still get $100 ish motherboards own z97 this is a pretty decent little offering from asrock it's blue and black overall color scheme is always the first to go when it comes to budget builds but this one again has a $20 million rebate so even though the price listed on the parts list is a hundred you can actually get it for 80 if you include that mail-in rebate so bear that in mind remember I just went with this very simple Corsair Vengeance kits again a sex go out the window here but this is a great little kit I've actually used this kit many times in different varieties it's low profile it's black it blends in the green PCB doesn't stand out at all once it's slotted in and $35 for eight gigs and I don't care that at 1600 speed that's not gonna affect anything okay for the next thing we have our video card and for that I went with AMD this is a power color PCs plus Radeon r9 380 very powerful GPU a little bit more power hungry but we have plenty of power for that and 185 with again a $20 ml and rebates so you can get it down to 165 so again if you're if you're looking to bang for the buck you know em wait yeah sorry wrong there don't click if you're gonna bang for the buck and you lookin all these prices I have listed here most of these are a lot of these have mail-in rebate so you can get it for even less than the 810 you see here probably 750 even in a low 700 s if you were to be diligent and redeem all those for a solid-state driving with the adata premier SP 5 50 60 bucks for 250 240 gig SSD is kind of like the price point I'm going for right now 65 ish as well there's other ones down in that range this is the cheapest one that's available straight up on Amazon right now and it's an SP 550 and it will do everything for SATA 3 drives sure you can compare it to like a 850 Pro from Samsung or something which is like a little bit faster but by and large it's gonna be plenty for you I also included a 2 terabyte hard drive here this is the fame tataki desk star that got really well reviewed in the oh shoot I'm forgetting the name of the place right now but the place it does a bunch of consumer hard drives in an enterprise environments and these have been shown to have very good lifespan as it goes 2 terabytes $70 still a little bit more expensive than I would have liked to have spent but I'm also clicking on the wrong things ok that brings us to pretty much everything except the case in the power supply let's talk about the case in the power supply this is a Rozsival galaxy - 0 3 it's black and it's $30 after a $10 mail in rebate card I hate the look of this case I'm not gonna even you this case looks disgusting I hate I hate it it's just it's purely for functionality here it's got USB 3.0 on the front it actually comes with three fans installed which is unique I was looking for I was looking at one case fan or one fan cases adding a second one but this one comes with the 120 on top front and the back $30 painted interior again it's hideous it's just hideous but I but it really gets the job done for 30 bucks so if if you really don't like the look of that case then spend a little bit more money I guess and get something a little bit nicer because if you want to spend 50 plus there's a lot of other options up there but trying to keep the price down bang for the buck all right use power supply deep cool 550 watt 80 plus gold certified I was planning on 80 plus bronze and I spotted this at new egg right now it's from deep cool I don't know a lot of reviews on this but it's 80 plus gold rated and it's got to have decent internals if it's got that $60 without even being discounted and look at the cables it's not modular bear that in mind but the cables are all black and I was just like wow that's a really good deal for a 550 watt power supply which will run pretty much any single card GPU configuration that you could throw at it right now and all black cabling and $60 and 80 plus gold I was like I got to use this in fact I almost used it in the second system I put together as well but I I decided to go with my initial choice there but anyway that's the deep cool DQ 550 s T 550 watt and again that entire build all together is eight hundred and ten dollars straight up if you buy it if you buy all the stuff from Amazon and Newegg and I guess super B's which is also listed here or take advantage of some of those mail-in rebates things you probably chopped a good 80 200 dollars off of the total price once you get that money back so hey I was pretty happy with that little build there all right let's move on to my second build second build again is a G 32 58 built on this one I'm putting together for my parents who are using a very outdated system right now I don't even know exactly what's in there I built it for them to log go from here remember what's in it but they've been complaining to me recently that it's very slow I'm gonna update it to something new something much smaller something that also has an SSD for a base and this processor which is overclockable and I'm going to overclock it too so that's kind of where I started off was with was I knew I was going to use the G 32:58 so again this is a second LGA 1150 system that's kind of the theme for the January builds I suppose I came out to about 400 bucks overall a little over 400 as listed here but again bear in mind there some mail and rebates and some other things that aren't necessarily shown there so the g32 58 you can get super cheap 50 bucks if you want to walk into a Micro Center but other than that it's going to cost you 65 to 70 which is a very good price for a little dual-core processor especially if you take advantage of the overclocking I went with the hyper 212 again just because I'm either lazy or it's just a very effective and cheap cooler there are some less expensive ones like the hyper t2 that I've used recently but I'm honestly for 30 bucks the mounting mechanism you get for this and I really want to try to push this g32 58 decently hard to try to make it nice and snappy for a motherboard I ran into again the same issue that I was running in with the prior build which is that when you're looking at motherboards I was originally gonna do a mini ITX system here and there's really really slim pickins for z97 boards they're just getting at retail they're getting less and less common so places like Newegg the recommend Amazon the reputable places just don't have as much stock available which does mean that the ones that are there are often like kind of the the longer lifespan more budget models but this is this is a gigabyte z97 em ds3 H it is $90 it also has a $10 meal and rebates so you know you can get some some money back there micro ATX I like micro ATX instead of mini ITX I figured well micro ATX isn't too bad does give a little bit of expansion options I'm not going to be doing a graphics card in this build because they don't really need it but my mom did retire recently so I'm not going to rule it out that maybe maybe I will throw in a graphics card there like in the future or something and see if I can get her to play some games who knows we'll see how bored she gets now that she's retired anyway uh 90 bucks or 80 bucks I should say after the rebate for this nice little board and it's black and it matches pretty nicely ok going over the rest of the parts I hit the back button CPU cooler the motherboard of course memory I spent a little bit more on the memory on this it's still an 8 gig kit 2 by 4 gigs I just basically got faster speed memory since they're going to be using the integrated GPU faster memory will improve the performance of that so with 2400 speed this is the cheapest 24 824 speed memory kit I could find from g-scale $40 for 2400 speed like a tiny that little picture is I'm sure you guys get the general idea right anyway it's the area series yeah and again I just I used the PC part picker drill down stuff for a 2 by 4 gig kit I chose the memory speeds are a little bit faster like 1866 2400 2626 66 and then I just sorted by price and I chose the among the cheapest ones that were the fastest speed looked the best and more from brands I had heard of like G scale anyway for the SSD I went with the exact same solid-state drive from the build before again 60 bucks for 240 gig and I don't tend to discriminate too much unless I'm actually buying an SSD like this you know specifically for use with I don't know video editing or something then I might look more closely at the actual full eye ops and megabytes per second but look pretty much any like decent SSD is gonna be able to do up or 5 you know above 500 megabytes megabytes per second reads and writes and then 75,000 I ops that's perfectly perfectly adequate especially for a home system and then of course we wanted 240 gigs of space alright go back to my build my build go I lost it ok finally we have a case in power supply and again here was something that I already have on hand which is a cooler master Silencio 652 now the weird thing here is that you might notice I punched this in directly for $60 that is because the specific version that I wanted which is the version without the window which is the one that I have on hand here is $60 at Newegg $40 after a $20 mil and rebate card very nice little case it's very quiet comes with two fans that are also very quiet so I felt this was worth spending a little bit more on especially since some it's fair the parents said I want it to be quiet and I want it to look pretty sleek in all and I didn't want to give them some hideous rose wool abomination case anyway so gold award silence award from overclocked 3d that net this is a this is solid little case and and I like it and I will build a mini ITX system in it one thing to point out is that it does have two fans in that case and one thing I noted when I looked at the motherboard was a motherboard only has one fan header so I've also added this little guy here it's not actually in the parts list but this is on Newegg it's $2.00 it's just a sleeved for pin to splitter for fan header so you can I can plug both of those case fans in and for the silencio and everything will work lastly it's a power supply and here I also what's cooler master one this one again I almost swapped out for that deep cool one because the deep cool one is at 80 plus gold so who knows I may still do that we'll see how things go this one is a little bit cheaper for like I buy about five bucks at Newegg if you get it with the mail in rebate right now but the reason why it's not listed as cheap or as cheap on PC park picker is because it's sold out here it's out of stock at Newegg right now get featured Soler's out of my face yeah so anyway go with a deep cool one if this one's not available for you but this one's also pretty decent from Coolermaster modular so that's nice as well modular is nicer for a smaller case I guess I was more considering the ITX possibility that when I first chose this power supply but hey there you guys have it my two builds again I'm gonna be building the second one here the G 32:58 base system that will be for my parents I'll be posting that on my channel here very very soon thanks to all you guys who have jumped into chat and said hello one thing to point out here before I go when it comes to the Haswell based systems has well and has well refresh is all of the overclocking on these processors is much more associated with the processors capability than the motherboards capability so the high-end overclocking motherboards that they have for z87 and z97 will overclock just as well as the lowest end ones unless you're talking about like exotic cooling and stuff like that that's not the case for sky lakes guy like the the power delivery has been moved back off of the processor but it is nice if you're looking to overclock a Haswell processor and if you're looking to get something like I've the builds I've done today where you're trying to get a little bit more bang for the buck and you can find a bargain on slightly older parts is even a lower end z87 or z97 motherboard will still overclock a 4690 okay just as well so that's nice too anyway guys that's all for this video thank you all again for joining me don't forget to vote for next month's builds via
