Corsair click the link in the description for more information what's up guys and welcome back to Pauls hardware today's video is going to be my monthly build for April 2017 this is an Andy rising build it's going to cost you about a thousand and fifty dollars but you can also get it down to a thousand bucks or even a little bit less by swapping this 1600 X CPU and cooler for a 1600 CPU that comes with a built-in cooler although you might not be able to overclock quite as well beyond that all the parts have already been chosen and laid out in my monthly builds video at the beginning of every month since every month I plan out a build and then I build the build and then I come back and test the build and give you guys feedback on the actual build process and performance so without further ado let's go over really quickly the parts I'm going to be using today so let's begin a rundown of our parts with our processor of course the rise in 5 1600 X so the X is going to be clocked a little bit faster than the rise in 5 1600 however does not come with a cooler there's nothing in here besides the CPU itself there's a 6 core cpu with SMT enabled so you get 12 threads which is a very nice sort of in-between between paying a little bit more for the horizon 7 series and also getting yourself more cores and more threads versus like 1400 or 1500 X now since it doesn't come with a cooler we're going to be using the master air pro 4 cooler and very mine's here this is aimed for compatible but you do need a name for bracket so double check when you're purchasing to make sure that it is actually listed as and for compatible if not you can head up cooler master and they will send you the and for brackets to mount to this and they'll do that free of charge if you've purchased it without that for motherboard we have the Asus Prime be 350 plus and I really like this motherboard because it's very inexpensive reasonably so it's only about a hundred bucks got your an for socket four dimm slots you got like m dot to support in a good area right up here and it's basically going to get blood you plug in and connect every thing that you need it's got a soos builds quality and you know that they do a really good job with their boards even looks pretty cool with a black canary color scheme and a little bit of LED highlighting going down the side so I think that's going to do a fine job for us the shortcomings of the x-series chipsets X 370 is mainly just the lack of two-way SLI support but honestly for this build we're probably not going to need that anyway although we do have an Nvidia graphics card the geforce gtx 1070 and i'm kind of comparing this build to the one that i did about five or six months ago which was a $1200 build this one's about 200 bucks less and yet it still has a gtx 1070 i'm going with the msi one here you can pick your flavor depending on what color scheme you like or which one you can find on sale this is the gaming extraversion from msi and i already know it's got a nice cooler on it and again sticking with the black and red color scheme speaking of black and red color scheme another sort of optional item here is going to be your SSD I mean not optional but you can sort of choose which one you like best and which one suits your build this is the sandy sculpture to which you can get in 240 gig capacity this happens to be one terabyte one but it'll look just the same and it'll do just the same job as before but find yourself an SSD that's that's one of my main requirements for computer builds these days makes everything faster for memory we have a Corsair Vengeance lpx kit this kit has been used many times before it's very popular but it is ddr4 3000 rated which means we should be able to hit 29:33 without any problem with our 1600 X here and you are going to get a nice boost in performance by going with a bit faster memory such as 29:33 over going with the base speeds of like 2100 or 2400 or something like that and of course if you do decide in the future they want to upgrade to even faster memory than this small memory upgrade it's a very simple thing to do for the case I went with the NZXT s340 this is just a very solid case this isn't the elite Edition or anything it doesn't have tempered glass but it comes in at a very reasonable price only about 60 or 70 bucks again depending where you buy it and shipping and all that kind of stuff but a very solid case really cool design looks nice I built in it before so shouldn't give us any shovels finally for the power supply I did have an EVGA power supply listed I'm going to be using this coolermaster v6 50 instead it's basically just what I have on hand right now I don't have to the Eevee a fire splitter let's it on hand this is going to kind of do get to get the job done in the same way it so that all black cabling but again depending on what you can find in pricing you might want to stick with that EVGA model just a you know double check your juice do some reality checking and make sure you get the prices will end up so there are the parts and now it is time let's get this thing put together cue the music so I got the motherboard all set up installation of this CPU cooler is not too terribly difficult especially if you've ever installed a hyper 212 before because it's really about the same installation method for the master air pro 4 you do have to remove a couple of those a m4 at the top retention brackets they come pre-installed on the motherboard you just pop those off and then you use the existing and four backplate 2:30 on there there's just four of these little nuts that you put on top of that to hold the bracket in place and then you mount the CPU cooler on top of course after putting a little bit of thermal paste on there to provide a nice thermal interface between the cooler and the actual CPU itself beyond that just popped in the memory and then you might notice that this motherboard is not quite as wide as typical ATX motherboards it's kind of the yeah this way because it's cool but narrow that way so rather than the nine mounting points that we would usually have fur motherboard actually have six two on the top two in the middle and two at the bottom so next up is to make sure that the case is prepped for that put the stand up in the right place and then we'll get everything dropped in there and then of course we'll move on to the power supply getting that installed and getting all the power hooked up now I've got the motherboard installed now and I've actually come across a very interesting issue perhaps something that you might not encounter in a lot of builds but I already mention the size of this motherboard being a little bit shorter than you would typically have for a ATX motherboard and actually since the case has standoffs pre-installed you might notice them kind of sticking out at the edge of the board these these other three on the side so there and there as well as one and the dark which is up here in the corner now I was tempted at first to leave those as is but honestly it's never ever ever a good thing that's just best practices for building a computer never a good thing to have a motherboard installed where you don't actually have a proper mounting point where the stand-up should be like like it is over here with the screw that's installed so I am going to pull the motherboard out and get rid of these extra three standoffs push it out here at mdft for actually putting all of the screws into individual baggies that are labeled like the UNC 632 these are m3 these are stand-ups and if you're wondering how to get to stand up out of the case another nice thing that nd xt is included as an actual stand off nut right there so you can use phillips head on one side and then the other side is just a little hex if you have a standard little hex kit you should be able to use this you should be able to use that as well but this should work just fine alright guys the build is pretty much done at this point and before I get to before I put the side panels back on and do some final closing sexy shots that I wanted to give it a once-over and a few notes on the actual build process everything went pretty smoothly and as you could probably tell the three extra standoffs I had to remove was probably the most confusing part I guess but color scheme wise everything blends in great we got a nice black and red theme for the motherboard the case graphics card even the SSD down there in the bottom looking pretty good cable management was also very easy in this case I like the the raised cable management bar that they have in the NZXT s340 s you can hide stuff back there and it makes it easy to tuck stuff back in a way I did this time opted to reconfigure the fanny situation that they have going on I think when they ship this case they set it up so that you can easily install like a water cooler here in the front so they put an exhaust at the back and an exhaust at the top I removed at the top exhaust and just moved it up here to the front equalize the airflow a little bit more so you've got an intake pushing some air in this way and then of course fans are going to push stuff through and then the exhaust at the back and some air can leak at the top too if it wants to this dust filter also will get a little bit more use in that case and hopefully keep the case from being too much positive and sorry too much negative pressure moving around to the back for kill management's as you can see cables are managed I did tie a few of the extra loops that came out from the top back here just so that they wouldn't stick out as much like I got a zip tie there and I said tie they're just holding extra loops of fan cables in place took the CPU fan I CPU power and brought it down here along the side everything else as far as extra cables would just pretty much shoved back there into the basement and then I really did minimal cable management here I mean I put a zip side there to kind of hold the bulk of these cables together in place once they're where they're supposed to be and everything else is just a matter of kind of routing it writing it where it should and getting the excess tucked out of the way so there it is so I am now going to put the side panels and front panel back on and fire this up I will get Windows loading very soon so I can do the follow up video with some testing of the system to show some performance as well as some temperatures and noise and I'm going to leave you guys with some sexy finished shots of this build I think it looks pretty much equivalent to the one that I did about six months ago still looks very sexy and it's still very reasonably priced for a system that is as powerful with the six core 1600 X as well as a gtx 1070 in there the guys thank you so much for watching this video I really hope you enjoyed it I'll be back with more videos very soon so if thumbs up
