x99 build from my July builds video and if entry-level x99 sounds like kind of an oxymoron to you that's because it really is x99 or has any haswell-e processors that go along with it our Intel's highest level most highest performing but also most expensive processors motherboards and the hardware that goes with it but if you've decided that you want to go for x99 whether you're using it for video editing or higher-end gaming and streaming or whether you just want to build a beastly system how can you actually claw your way onto that platform without spending 2500 bucks on the system my answer is this build right here it's actually about $1500 that's 200 bucks down from what I actually put it together my July builds video thanks to the fact that I've not included a hard drive this time and also there's been some price drops on some of this hardware my mo for this build is to set everything up as an expensive Lea as possible and if the first thing you're thinking then is like well Paul I could build a cheaper x99 based system than this my secondary goal was to not really truncate it too badly so I didn't want to like only get a single stick of ddr4 for example or only spend a hundred bucks on the graphics card I wanted parts that were at least somewhat in line with the austerity of Intel's x99 enthusiast platform so that's how we ended up with the build you see here I'm going to assemble it for you right now but first let's take a look at each individual parts and a quick sentence or two about why I chose it the core of any build is going to be the CPU the motherboard and the memory in my personal opinion and if you're on x99 and you want to get in cheap well the 5820k is going to be your best bet for entry-level it's the most expensive even though it's around $400 but it still has six cores 28 PCI Express Lanes and a host of other really cool features it's a beastly CPU and it will even outpace the new skylake processors especially if you're using multi-threaded applications skylake processors can be just to touch faster in certain areas but for the most part you're still going to be faster with 5820k now I also need a cooler wait where'd the cooler go oh it's over here the 5820k and all the other enthusiasts high-level processors don't ship with CPU coolers so I didn't want to spend a hundred bucks on a closed-loop cooler or something like that but I also didn't want to spend 20 or 30 bucks on something that didn't look very nice so that's my in-between the enter maxi TST 40 really nice cooler I've used it before it looks nice and it performs well so I'm I'm happy with that choice back to the motherboard that's the x99s sli this is already dropped in price I think it's about 215 or 220 dollars right now very full-featured motherboard for x99 it's got everything you'd want including eight DIMM slots so that's why I chose that finally for the trifecta of beginning parts we have the memory if you click link in the description to check out the build on PC part picker I believe I'm using the reptiles for these are the rs5 they're the new ones from g.skill so I'm just using these as a stand in a little bit more expensive so go for the cheaper ones if price is a concern but I do recommend getting a 4x4 kit at minimum because that will allow you to set up for quad-channel you can't get by with two I'll say that at least get to them get a good dual Channel at least for the video card we have the MSI r9 390x gaming 8g this one's a little over $400 about 430 bucks the GTX 970 would also be a great option here if you want to spend about a hundred bucks less and make this one even cheaper this one just seemed like a good fit because you got eight gigs of gddr5 memory you can use this for video editing acceleration and that kind of good stuff so that's why I kind of felt it was a good choice there's a ton of other GPUs of course you could drop in here so let me know in the comments what you think you would add storages next this is the 850 Pro I I know I have a 50 Evo and the actual build on PC part picker this is a standin because I don't have an 850 Evo 500 gig this is the 500 Ryo 512 K persian of a 50 pro this one a little bit faster but also cost more so yeah again if you're going for the budget option get the 850 Evo this one's this one's beastly fast though so that's why I'm using it and finally for power delivery we have the thermal take deep ESG 750 watt this is also a stand-in as compared to the one I have the actual build on PC part picker because this is the one I have on hand to build with that one is still 80 plus gold and 750 watts though so it's still equivalent though this one just has a few more features like full modularity and everything and actually I also think hopefully it might tie everything together because it's got little bit of red like the graphics card a little bit of like goldish yellow it could be motherboard who knows this this build actually might not turn out to be the most aesthetically pleasing but hey we're going for performance here right yeah performance and the case I'll be using is the enthu pro from fantex and I'm excited to build in this case because I've heard many positive things about it but I haven't actually built in it myself so I'm looking forward to it and this has plenty of room to fit everything that should be an easy building experience and it's also got plenty of upgrade space for the future so don't let the plain box fool you there's a beastly case hiding inside there's a look at all dem parts though again the link is in the description if you guys want to check this out on PC part picker and has all the pricing and where you can buy them and everything and other than that why don't I go ahead and hit the turbo button get this thing put together alright guys there it is it's all put together and I gotta say first thought is it came together better than I was expecting I was kind of expecting this to be a little bit more of a mishmash of parts as far as the colors go and stuff but it actually it blends decently well although there's definitely improvements that can be made so remembering that my goal here is to build a entry level haswell-e system at x99 for as little money as possible and you can get this for pretty cheap say fifteen hundred bucks maybe even fourteen hundred or thirteen hundred if you were to do a couple things like maybe swap that SSD out for a 256 gig or maybe go for a gtx 970 or and r9 390 or maybe even like in or get a secondhand r9 290x or 290 those are all decent options in there but I'd say at 390 maybe 390x I go at that over at 290 or 290x just for the video memory if you're planning using this as a workstation at all anyway I got to say working with the fantex in through pro case for the first time was pretty fantastic as well I'm going to start with my single gripe about the case which is that the the thickness of some of the side panels and the build quality is not quite as up to standards as some of the other things but if you can live with that everything else in this case is absolutely fantastic in the feature list is just awesome so you can kind of tell here like this I would put a little bit of I put a damper on there or something because it's not not closing quite as well as it should let me get that side panel off there real quick and I'll show you the interior ok so there she is we have a power supply cover down at the bottom so we can't see our thermal take some 150 watt power supply but that's okay I think that actually looks decent without it now there's a bit of red and a bit of gold in this build and I think since those are the only main colors it kind of blends in ok I will say could do with some LED maybe lighting on the interior here or something but again the idea here was to kind of get off the ground so little bells and whistles like that I wanted to leave out and leave up to you the white fan actually doesn't blend in as well as it should neither so does the one on the front of the case so those I don't know I might swap out in the future or something swap out a scythe gentle typhoon fan instead of the one that comes with the enter max here because that has a blue LED and that would have made it everything even more mishmash so that's gray so I don't know black fans might might blend in a little bit better I would also maybe turn off the track lighting on the Gigabyte x99s sli motherboard because it's a lot a lot more yellow and it doesn't it adds another cone there that doesn't really match the white on the MSI I don't mind too much but anyway that's all talking about aesthetic stuff though what this is really going to do is it's going to perform like an absolute beast since you've got the six core processor in there and you've got 16 gigs of memory and you've got a really decent graphics card for gaming or for what you should really be using this for if you're going for an x 99 build content creation or just higher level stuff you know you got to be doing AutoCAD or something that really crunches numbers to get the most out of that CPU that is all for this video though guys so I really hope you have enjoyed it don't forget I've got one more build coming up really soon as well as some PAX Prime stuff so don't forget to hit the subscribe button on my channel if you want to stay tuned for those don't forget to like this video too if you enjoyed it and you want to see more videos like this kind of see me do more of my monthly builds and actually put them together that would be fantastic anyway guys thanks again for watching and we'll see you in the next video you
