three option but I think that's quite overkill from any ITX and more suited for a micro ATX or full sized ATX build to keep the CPU cool I have the cry Rig h7 I've used this before looks nice performs well is very reasonably priced and then of course I have power in the form of the EVGA 650 GQ power supply a very solid 80 plus gold mostly modular power supply some really good deals on this over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend by the way and then rounding things out with storage I have plenty of storage all SSDs and three different configurations first off for the operating system I have a Plextor m6e this is an MDOT to drive it's not nvme so it's not going to be as fast as like the new samsung 960 for example but it will be faster than a typical SATA ConnectedDrive 256 gig is just fine for my operating system as well as some applications for a really fast storage array I have two SanDisk Extreme two SSDs into both 240 gig so I'm going to put these in raid 0 that will give me about 480 gigs of usable space and it will be much faster with the raid configuration finally have a single SanDisk Ultra SSD this is a one terabyte or 960 at least and again this was one that there was a really good deal on just recently over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend I got another one for a hundred and eighty dollars so those are all the parts I'm using let us move on to ye old build montage brought to you by the power of editing so there it is guys and I must say I am very happy with how this build turned out it is not light I would say but I can lift it up for transportation and then I like the look of it overall I like how the LEDs on the galaxy graphics card kind of peak through here the edge lit LEDs around the edge of it as well as the LEDs in the fans I got a white LED on the fan on the front for the intake as well that lights up so it gives you sort of the illusion of like some hidden power within the smoky glass windows and and the dust filtration that they have up here it's really quiet right out of the you know with doing nothing I've done nothing other than set the fan controller to the lowest speed and I also want to say it's a very nice to have a fan controller built in there since mini-itx boards often are really slim on fan headers so the fan controller allows you to do three speed fan control for either PWM or three pin voltage control fans also quite nice so let's left now is to move on to some testing I'm going to be loading Windows 10 under this doing some performance metrics I'll do some games and I think I'll do some video editing as well if you guys have any comments or suggestions for me for what you'd like to see tested on this system leave them in the comments section down below thank you of course for watching this video as always and don't forget that the thumbs up button if you enjoyed it comments are always welcome also down there is links to my store where you can buy shirts mugs and pint glasses so thanks again for watching as always guys and we'll see you in the next video
