how's it going everybody and welcome back to Pauls hardware this is my monthly builds video for September 2017 this is a monthly series that I do every month that make sense and I go over a couple parts list for computer builds to give you guys suggestions if you're looking to part out a system yourself and you're looking for a little bit of help now if you want to see an actual construction of a build check out my builds playlist and I will fully admit that I have not been following up properly for the past like month and a half on my monthly builds videos usually I take one of the buildings that I part out and build it during the month and then test it later on in the month but due to lots of different factors I've actually not followed up well so my apologies for that and I'm gonna be trying to catch up this month I actually have a couple builds at least planned but of course we need your feedback as well so check out the strawpoll length in the description if you don't let me know what builds you want to see in October and I have a selection here including a bunch of super towers because going back to last month that's what you guys were interested in and also a scary Halloween computer and a couple other options there - since Intel has some stuff that might be coming out soon although we're not sure when that's coming out now last month I gave you guys a multiple choice option and actually for this month too you can choose more than one answer on that survey if you want to but $1,200 gaming PC was the top one here and this is actually I took this to mean you want something more expensive so actually with a bit higher end than $1,200 also form-factor was super tower ATX and this took me by surprise and I was unprepared so this is why for next month I actually have potentially a Coolermaster case that I might use for a super tire build so let me know what you think about that but beyond that you guys were interested in many ITX and then the more expensive price ranges rather than the less expensive price ranges that I was asking about so for this month I have two builds we're going to off with this one here which is the entry-level thread Ripper 1900 X build which is a very similar build to the one that I parted out last month however now we have the 1900 X let's let you get in on the thread Ripper platform for five hundred and fifty dollars for the CPU itself now granted it is an eight-core sixteen thread CPU which is the same as you get as the eighteen hundred X on the main stream platform so if you're investing in something like this you're really doing it to get access to the high-end features of this platform in general which means upgrading to potentially a twelve core or a sixteen core processor in the future also quad channel memory also 64 PCI Express Lanes so tons of connectivity for other things my thread Ripper 9900 X entry level build is around seventeen hundred and fifty dollars 17:25 if you look right now and take into account mail and rebates and that kind of thing and the idea here is not to build the cheapest possible thread Ripper and tr4 platform build weekend it's to choose parts that are reasonably priced on the lower end since this entry level but still reasonable I'm not pairing this with like a gtx 1050 TI or something like that and I'm not going with like a single stick of four gigs of memory I have the processor I have an air cooler I have an ass rack motherboard Corsair full quad channel kit and memory an SSD attempt gtx 1070 and all that good stuff so starting off with the processor the AMD risin thread repair an 1800 X of course $550 bear in mind that for not too much more money just about 250 more dollars you can upgrade to the 12 core version of this or you can spend $1000 eventually for an extra 450 and get the 16 core full fat version of thread Ripper but if you really want in on this platform and you don't want to spend all that money or if you just have great need of extra PCIe lanes but not necessarily all those cores then there might be some people who are interested in this processor hopefully we'll get one to test out as well and then we have an air cooler for it since you can't get liquid coolers that do slot in with tiara for really easily but I wanted to stick with air since it is a little bit cheaper by 10 or 15 bucks even though the Noctua coolers are fairly expensive this is the Nhu 12s which they specifically designed for thread Ripper so I should be taking a look at one of these pretty soon too I'm gonna pair this up with the asrock X 399 tight a txt are for motherboard still one of the least expensive thread repair motherboards even though it is 335 ish dollars this one actually do have on hand right here ready to go and build with Asus is the only other motherboard manufacturer that I could find right now that has a thread Ripper motherboard that's in like the 320 to $350 issue Ange so check that one out too but this has been out since launch and it's got some pretty good feedback on it already and I've been looking forward to doing a build with it so for memory storage and video card I've used a parametric filter on PC part picker which let's use these filter options here on the left hand side so I wanted ddr4 I want it's faster ddr4 because in my opinion if you're gonna invest in threader 4 or Rison you're gonna want at least 3,000 speed memory or something faster so it shows a few of those options there I chose a 16 gig kit 4 by 4 gigs and then I basically just sorted it by price and it's choosing the lowest price option here which happens to be a Corsair Vengeance lpx kit for about one hundred and sixty-five dollars which is man I hope ddr4 prices come down soon because they have gone up recently rather than down and that kind of sucks I did somewhat of the same thing for storage it's sort actually sort by price over here however this time I did a wider range when it comes to the capacity so capacity here I'm looking for the 240 ish gig SSDs and the 500 gig ish SSD so I want 162 525 there and hope you guys can see this well enough chose SSD of course and then that was pretty much it there and then ice again sorted by price here is how you I'm sorry I didn't serve by price asserted by price per gigabyte that way which you can get down below 30 cents per gigabyte however to do that you need to buy the 500 gig or 480 game versions which of course cost not quite twice as much but almost twice as much the cheapest 240 gig one is the SanDisk SSD 240 gig that I chose it's 84 dollars and yes you will need additional storage beyond that with the motherboard purchase right now with a new egg you get a 320 GB SSD but my assumption here is that you're gonna get a full-sized mechanical hard drive a 2 terabyte or something like that and drop it in here as well maybe you have a used one or just add one on it cost usually about 40 to 50 bucks for something like that video card same general idea video car prices are pretty crazy right now still due to cryptocurrency mining and that kind of thing so gtx 1070 in my opinion is kind of the sweet spot when it comes to a graphics card that you can get for relatively close to the MSRP still very powerful so it matches up with this kind of build without like you know just skipping out and going for something that's a hundred or hundred fifty bucks and you can find them for as little as three hundred bucks I'm sorry four hundred bucks right now for the standard founders Edition one ZOTAC also is a mini version that you can get for about four hundred and twenty issue dollars so the cheapest 1070 you could find is basically what I was going forward with this one for the case I went with a budget case I was looking for a case in the sixty to seventy dollar range with graphite series 230 T is a great option here I was also looking at the cooler master master box which is a good option NZXT s340 would be an easy choice here as well there's lots of really good options in the 67 th dollar range I didn't want to go down to the 50 buck range because you start getting into some really kind of budget annoyances down there but the 230 T solid case comes with fans plenty of ventilation which I was also keen on and then it's also got a solid side panel window which I was also interested in because I'm not really interested in color coordination for this build I don't care about the LEDs I don't care that we have a knock to a fan with hideous not to a colors in there all that matters is the performance and getting yourself a threader for billed for a reasonably low price the power supply went slightly overkill on there's a 650 watt version of this Corsair CX series the newly revamped for 2017 with a all-black aesthetic as well as all black cables which is super nice thank you Corsair for providing this option and I went with the 750 watt version just to give us a little bit more Headroom for this entire build since there's so much expandability options here you want to have plenty of wattage available to you so the 750 watt version is what I went for and even with the it's it's only 55 bucks I mean why would you not it's also 80 plus bronze I also opted to go with the 80 plus bronze because you can get a much better deal on a power supply and well whereas long-term you can save a few bucks on your power bill by going with an 80 plus cool there's something like that any Plus Browns will get you by get you something all function and you know it at least rated well enough for 80 plus bronze efficiency so there it is my entry-level theater for 1900 X built about seventeen hundred and fifty dollars definitely not budgets but still entry-level when it comes to a high-end desktop platform and you're gonna get a lot of power for that money too next up is my super portable gaming PC this is an AMD build as well although it's on the mainstream platform with the rise and five 1600 processor it's about eleven hundred and fifty dollars it is portable it is powerful but powerful powerful it is meant for both gaming as well as doing workstation stuff since it's got a six core processor could handle gaming and streaming as well and with some add-ons could even be a capture system as I parted out last month since this is kind of a rehashing of the system that I built last month because what happened was I realized the system I was going to build last month I actually wanted to do something with so I'm doing actually a pay it forward build for our good friend Rachel who I don't know if you guys remember but back when I worked at Newegg and didn't make TV Rachel was our co-worker there she did a lot of writing for the yolked show and that kind of thing so she is actually going overseas to work for a while and I don't give too many details about what she's doing but she needed a new system she needed an upgrade it's been quite a while she games and she does workstation stuff and she might stream as well so that's what this is all built around so for the case we wanted something that was super portable which is why I wanted to silverstone case and this is a version that has a handle that goes on top although I just haven't mounted that up yet so I'm going to be providing most of the components for this build and then Rachel actually purchased the graphics card the case and the power supply since those were the only things that I didn't have spares of around for her to use all right so $1,150 here's the rest of the parts here let's go over them one at a time really quick starting out to the Rison 5 1600 processor processor 6 core processor insanely popular you can get it for sub $200 right now it will come with a CPU cooler in the box although I'm planning on using the cravaack c7 provided the am for mounting kit actually I'm sorry yeah the c7 provided the mounting kit arrives in time that's the only thing I'm I'm still waiting on Craig is sending me that directly I was trying to order at other places but this is a nice low profile cooler I use this on my HTPC for quite some time does a really good job and I think I think I think it'll be a good choice for this one however does need a name for upgrade kit which Craig has this is a part of their website where they list those as well as the different coolers that they have and the different mounting kits that go with them the c7 requires a m4 upgrade kit type C which they didn't have on nuoc so I couldn't order it so hopefully that arrives soon if not we'll go out this that cooler and and that'll do just fine as well for a motherboard of course there's only a couple mini ITX I am for motherboards that are available this is the a be 350 end gaming Wi-Fi from gigabytes and and there it is nice solid compact little motherboard tons of stuff wedged into it there so it's gonna be a tight build as lots of mini ATX builds typically go this is a solid board for about $115 and of course got to maintain the mini ATX form factor I used the same or roughly the same memory parametric filter option that I did in the previous build so just went with a 16 gig kit to buy eight gigs this time which you can get for a bit less apparently 130 499 for that so two bite for the two by eight gigs I don't know why the 4x4 gig kits there's so much more expensive but anyway there you go you get ddr4 3000 for that I'm probably gonna use a kit I already have on hand here but this is my solution for you guys that that need to actually hunt down some memory to use for an SSD I have the same SSD because I used the same method from the first build to find an SSD and this is the most reasonably priced 240 gig you know it's a SanDisk and it's 84 bucks so there you go for a graphics card I also have this otech GeForce GTX 1078 geek mini this one was partially because it is mini and it is a mini ITX build although this case does support fairly lengthy graphics cards the length this is more of a concern than the width I guess is the thickness that that's that's anyway point is you can get this one for about 415 420 dollars it's rare to find 1070 s that are sub 400 bucks right now but this one should be a good choice for us it is also overclocked a little bit I believe and it's got two big fans on it so since this case actually does have plenty of ventilation right there on the side as well as a filter for the intake for the graphics card some of the reviews I haven't used this case yet but several the review said that they thought a open-style fan would work better than a blower style fan in this case just because it's got that plenty of airflow and heat buildup in a Mini ITX system is something that should be you should be a little bit concerned about so there's the case the ml 0 8 B - H the - H means it comes with a handle attachment that goes up on top just an extra piece that they put in the Box a screw on there so that will make it a little bit more portable I had told Rachel that she if she's planning on taking a computer overseas you should definitely make sure it's set it's ever size that can fit into carry-on luggage because you do not want to check a fully built computer you want to make sure that it's in your hands as much as possible but nice little case USB 3.0 and everything like that and it's only about 80 bucks moving on for a power split actually well there's another look at the case we already did that finally the power supply we needed SFX since it's a small form-factor case that only supports sfx power supplies with the silverstone 500 watt version of this presold little power supply gets the job done I don't like the blue I don't like the blue plug I don't know I wish they would get rid of that single blue plug but other than that you know it's all black cabling and it's all flat black cables which I might be able to show you guys here in just a second I'll flat black cables which should look good not the aesthetics are too much of a concern here but also the flat black cabling very useful for routing and pushing up against stuff in a case where you have not much room to work with and you might need to be creative with where you actually store those cables but guys that's all for this video this has been my monthly builds video for September 2017 I'm gonna be building both of these systems this month pinkie swear and I'll be working on those actually pretty quick and actually also have my arctic panther water-cooled build that I'm going to be doing this month too so stay tuned for that thank you guys so much for watching and links to the full builds list on PC part picker in the video description as well as links to all the parts individually if you want to check any of them out at retail most of them are amazon links by the way thanks again for watching guys and we'll see you next time you
