hello everyone and welcome to my monthly builds video this is the builds video for December 2015 so today I'm going to be choosing parts for a new computer actually for two new computers because that is a hard thing to do for some people or maybe it's challenging or maybe it's fun I think it's fun but some people have a difficult time making their decisions when it comes to the parts are going to put into a system so that's why I make these videos each month I create a couple builds these are based on your votes and your feedback I use PC part picker to choose them so for December I actually have based on your feedback a ridiculous skylake sixty seven hundred based dream a machine with an over nine thousand dollar price tag and then to balance things out with that I also have a four hundred dollar range AMD APU based system that I will actually be building next week so remember to subscribe to my channel if you want to be the first to hear about it when I post that video I was gonna show you guys 500 cool features of the fractal core 500 ITX case but that would take way too long so here are five it's compact and sleek with a brushed front panel it has surprisingly good water flowing support it has big magnetic dust filters it supports full sized ATX power supplies and it has room for 170 millimeter tall CPU coolers click the sponsor link in the description for more information so a few notes before we dive right into the first builds perks list first off the cost I'm listening and the the title and everything is for the the system itself that doesn't include the monitor peripherals and that kind of thing unless I say otherwise so bear that in mind if you are parting on a system there are some extra costs involved but often times if you're a system builder you might have those already lying around that kind of thing I also use PC part picker it's easy to shop there and they also have compatibly compatibility filters built in and that kind of thing and links of course to all this stuff is going to be down in the description on YouTube big thanks to anyone who's watching this video live right now because I'm streaming it live on my twitch channel you guys are gonna have to wait for the links I don't have them ready quite yet but speaking of interaction and stuff and why I chose the builds I'm doing today is because I always ask you guys what build do you want to see so last months for November I asked what PC builds USC for December and as you can see the i7 I 760 700 K Scott like dream machine one right at the top FX 6300 came in a close second there I do want you guys to vote the floor next month too though so here I can post this in chat there you go so click that link in the description on the straw poll and go ahead and vote oh I meant to make this pick more than one but I guess you only get to pick one this time I got a farewell to am3+ builds insane forest coming out soon I may be an 83 50 or maybe even a 95 90 build budget skylake since you got those skylake Pentiums that are now available that are super cheap I think I have a search for them yeah you can give you this G 4400 skylake Pentium for 65 bucks now so I thought that might be interesting 59 60 X a PC gaming streaming system more bang for the buck has well you gotta go for some older slightly older parts we might go for that so everyone post your your votes there and that kind of thing and from that for now I'm gonna get right into this first build which is again that 6700 K dream machine dream machine for me kind of harkens back to reading maximum PC which is one of my favorite PC publications at least in print for quite some time and they always built a dream machine every year so dream machine for me it just means like going all out but I'll be honest if you're gonna just like build a system and you're gonna make it like the most expensive system possible it's really not that hard you can go into site like PC part picker and doing something like that you can sort it by max price you can choose all the most expensive hardware and then you can just build it with that I didn't quite do that I wanted it to be somewhat reasonable but that is why for example there are none of these SSDs in there I did find these last night Intel's for terabyte Enterprise SSD which is selling a new egg right now for $10,000 so I could have dropped a few of these in there and be like this is a $30,000 system that would be awesome I know I didn't do that I tried to keep things slightly more reasonable so let's just yeah here's the build this is a 6700 K skylight dream machine here all the parts together and I'm gonna be going over these just one at a time but you can see the total price down here $9,200 again somewhat reasonable yeah but anyway alright so first off of course we have the 6700 K which apparently is very hard to come by it's still out of stock in a bunch of places even a new egg which usually gets lots of allocation for CPUs it's hard to find so I guess that might be a difficult to hear is just getting your hands on a 6700 K in general but that's kind of the basis so of course those don't ship with CPU coolers also I have my I have an i-5 here this is like my example box but we're actually working with an i7 anyway so this of course our Hydra series h1 10 I big massive 280 millimeter cooler its corsair it's got this color scheme thing so you can change the colors these just really high rated they do a great job and I wanted water cooling in this as much as possible I did briefly debate doing custom like picking parts for a custom water cooling loop but I decided not to for various reasons but everything's still water-cooled anyway motherboard is a Maximus 8 extreme motherboard from Asus which you can get for four hundred seventy dollars very expensive motherboard at B&H but they don't have good pictures so here's the pictures on Newegg this motherboard is is it's an ROG motherboard so Asus tends to do the the kitchen sink with these and throws all kinds of stuff in there but after looking at this and even deciding upon it I realized there was a little bit there's gonna be a little bit of controversy here so you guys let me know in the comments what you think because Asus this year for the Maximus 8 extreme which is the their highest then z170 board from what I understand they didn't do a plx bridge so you can actually actually only limit it to two-way SLI here you can do Quad SLI if you do two dual GPU cards but those don't even exist for the current generation yet so yeah I went with a two-way GPU configuration because of that there are other boards out there that are crazier than this in the PCI Express area with plx bridges and that take your 16 lanes available on the 6700 K and spread them out and give you more that doesn't just didn't introduce a bit of latency though and even without asking JJ about this I can tell you guys probably their reasoning was they looked at actual use cases and they said you know people who are buying this platform tend to not go for more than two maybe three graphics cards and really if you're going to go for more than that you should go for the extreme platformer x99 LGA 2011 - three and you know go go for that so hey I still stuck with this board because there's still a crazy amount of features in here that Asus asus has wedged in but let me know what you guys think if for a dream machine build like this you would go with the Asus or you maybe you'd pick something like the Giga bytes what is it the gaming did yeah whatever that $500 gigabyte board is that I have that I don't remember their name up off the top of my head Hey look new egg has tech experts that can help no thank you okay g.skill ripjaws 5-series again this is a dream machine so a maximum amount of memory possible 64 gigs four by sixteen gig kit and I just went with the fastest I could find pretty much it's 400 this is actually kind of reasonable for ddr4 considering this these are 16 gig dims but PC 3200 speed I just wanted fast and I wanted to match though there's your memory storage storage I'm a little crazy on you might notice here I have what is this total 8 terabytes 9 terabytes almost 10 terabytes of SSD in here I did yes for anyone mentioning if there's a delay I'm going to fix it in post I did not put any mechanical drives in here but you still have up to 10 or close to 10 terabytes of storage and I tried to use as much of the i/o connectivity as I possibly could so let's jump back to here so first off to fill in your m2 slot goes right to there I got the Samsung 950 Pro this is an m2 2280 nvme drive this is super fast it's black and it will also match with the motherboard so I like that for extra storage and also to make use of the built-in UDOT 2 port on that motherboard I chose the Intel 750 series this is the one that's linked in the PC part picker thing but they for some reason don't have the one link to that I wanted to put which is this one the 2.5 inch version of this drive that works with you too so this one's out of stock I guess but that's the one I would go for if you go for this one it's a PCI Express expansion and it won't I chose to specifically to go with the u dot too but again PC part picker doesn't have that listed finally I chose for Samsung 850 Pro 2 terabytes SATA drives cuz they're they're that eight hundred and eighty dollars each but that's a lot of storage two terabytes and you can you could put these into a raid configuration if you wanted to just connect it natively to the intel PCH IV loads of fun anyway maybe I go overkill with storage in some of these builds for graphics cards I wanted the best of the best so again let's tighten X 12 gigs per card is really I think kind of the selling point here if you're really trying to justify that thousand dollar plus price tag and again wanted everything to be water cooled so EVGA has got the hybrid version of these now that's got the included loop with 120-millimeter radiator and two of these is really all you can fit on the Maximus eight extreme so that's what I'm with to that's reasonable right we need a case to fit everything so we got a fan tax and thew series this is the end loop primo it's aluminum it's actually not that crazy expensive I was looking at some of the other more expensive cases from Leanne Lee from in win they have some good options there but I wanted to make sure everything would fit in here without too much difficulty and enthu primo is definitely a case that gets a lot of positive feedback for just just how much how much stuff you can fit into it it's really pretty insane I don't know why the new a gig images are loading but here ah yeah there's tons of space in here it's also a ATX it will fit that motherboard it's got space on the bottom as well as on the back for your 120 millimeter a tears for those graphics cards and I think you'll be all set again not the most expensive case if you are looking for other options in cases or if you're just wondering what else I was considering as far as a really high in case the cosmos to from Coolermaster is still a very popular one and then the 900 d from Corsair is another one that's kind of right up in that range there's some others as well but again I was here and there I was trying to be reasonable with this build snow finally we need a power supply so again I went with Titan if you're going titanium hi why did you pretty much got the courser ax 1500 I there's also the EVGA supernova 1600 watt tough choice between those but this one is really well reviewed it's just supposed to be kind of one of the top power supplies out there also goes with some of the other Corsair components in the build if you want the EVGA I think you'd be fine as well to be perfectly honest alright so let's move on to the next build what do you guys think of that one $9,200 is anyone gonna invest I'll be honest right here I would not I would not in any way shape or form by this system I just wouldn't because it's it's it's mainstream it's it's a it's using the 6700 K it's skylake I would do an X 99 build if I was going to spend this much money but hey some people might do it I don't know there might be that little niche of the market who might actually spend that much money who knows we need to find those people and and take their money or something alright let's move on to the more reasonable one here this is a $400 aim the APU build icon I'm calling this in the Minecraft Plus bill because there's two kind of factors to this one is that I'm going to be building this to is it's going to be a Christmas gift for our nephew and then three is gonna be what he's doing with it which is he wants to computer to play Minecraft and this should be able to do that without any problems and then he also is potentially he's still fairly young but he might in the future want to like get into the whole pc building thing so I wanted to build him a system that you know if he did want to in the future he could dive in there and add some stuff and this is an APU system so it's going to be using the integrated graphics from the 1878 50k so adding a graphics card to this in the future if he like graduates to some higher-end games or something like that could be a great option also pro tip for anyone who was watching my video that I did roughly at this time of year one year ago I also did a 78 50 K build and I was looking at that as I go well we are coming to the end of this run of processors from AMD I think both on the APU and the standard CPU side so yeah next year we're expected to see more one other thing about this as I said this was a $400 build and that's because there's a mail-in rebates on on what where's the mail and rebate there's a millinery bet on something and there's also the fractal power supply which was $45 yesterday and is now 70 so that jumped up let me show you guys though how to find a different power supply if you don't want to use this fractal one i also have the franklin power supply already so i i'm gonna use it but if you guys want something more reasonably priced if that power supply doesn't drop again pc part picker over here in the list just go to choosing a power supply use the filters on the left side so all i did was change the wattage range from 400 to 650 watts which is about the range i want i want it to be able to support a discrete graphics card in the future if it comes to that and then i also went with 80 plus bronze which i think is kind of the best bang for your buck with also an 80 plus rated power supply and then i sorted by lowest price and here you can see the corsair CX 430 builder series power supply which is insanely popular which was another very close chance for this and you can still get that for forty to forty five dollars whether you want the modular or non modular there's some other ones in here see sonic power supplies alike EVGA he's got some reels will is generally pretty good just make sure you check that feedback rating so lots of options down here and these say 40 to 50 ish dollar range for power supplies if the one you were looking for doesn't isn't on sale anymore so anyway that's mean just to find this still being a four hundred dollar bill okay 810 70 50 k kaveri quad-core yes this processor has been out since last year but yes it is still a pretty viable option i think for now especially if you're looking at something that has some pretty good graphics performance but not necessarily it breaks the bank so 130 dollars for this right now and this is again one of the fixed items that i already had to use for the bill of course I needed a motherboard to go along with that so asrock has this one this is an a 70 M chipset motherboard which isn't the highest end but it can still do some overclocking it's a nice little board as far as the future set goes it's got your USB 3.0 it's got your video outs there including a couple HDMI and it's even got some USB 3.0 3.0 and some of those sort of higher-end features too with the connectivity also of course that expansion slot PCI Express means that you can add a graphics card in the future which I want him to be able to do memory I did a similar search to the one I just showed you guys with with the power supply I drilled down to an 8 gig 2 by 4 gig kit and I wanted faster memory speed so I was looking at 21 33 to 2,400 even higher than that as long as it stayed reasonably priced that is how I sellable on this kit from g.skill it's only $39 on Newegg right now of course there's a few other options in the 35 to 45 dollar range that could go I decided for an SSD I want this to be very fast I want it to feel very fast even though it's using a slightly older apu processor so SSD is the way to go if you want to do that and I also wanted to reasonably reasonable capacity so 240 gigs $65 for this I think is very reasonable price you could get you could have gotten these even less if we were doing this a weekend a week and a half ago or so during Black Friday sales but I'm a 60 65 for that still very nice price of course the fractal design core 500 is is a great little case I have one here I'm gonna be building in its I've already done a little bit of b-roll on it so I can already say nice solid case fairly inexpensive it's 73 bucks over at Amazon but on super Buy super B's super buys I don't know they have it for cheaper 55 after a promo code but of course it's out of stock yeah let's have a cookie crust crumbles or something like that anyway lastly power supply and Tegra m4 and 50 watt this is a nice solidly made little 80 plus bronze power supply from fractal stays pretty quiet I'm actually gonna be building with the 750 watt version because again that's what I have but the 450 would do just fine for this little build and would even have enough juice to power a graphics card beyond that as well so hey there you guys have it my two builds one insanely high-powered and high priced one much more reasonable and reasonably priced thanks to all you guys who have jumped in to chat to say hello during my little production here my livestream tell you guys who are watching on YouTube in the future thanks so much for watching don't forget to subscribe to my channel hit the like button down in the description again there's links to these builds there's also links to my store where you can do stuff like buy t-shirts that still have mugs I also have some sales going on for some hoodies and some shirts and there's also some new logo stuff so check all that out because it's it's absolutely fabulous and there's still time to shop before thee before Christmas anyway thanks again for watching guys and we'll see you next you
