UPDATED! The FASTEST Gaming PC You Can Build in 2018

2018-10-14
I mean I try to turn it down a little bit the RC 100 MV mes SD and XS 700 portable SSD are both powered by toshiba's advanced 3d BICS flash memory meaning you get solid-state speeds at an affordable price the XS 700 is a wicked fast external drive with USB 3.1 gen2 via a type-c connector and the RC 100 may be small but it's MDOT to nvme interface means sequential read and write speeds at well over 1,000 megabytes per second click the sponsor link in the description to learn more okay sorry about that guys but in keeping with my video from last month where I built the fastest gaming computer that you can build with the caveats being you're building a single GPU gaming system and you're mostly focused on gaming not much else I promised that I would follow that up with a faster gaming computer and now we can do that fastest gaming graphics card at the time when I built the system originally was the r-tx 2080 TI which had just launched that is still the case we are still using a single r-tx 2080 TI but now we have an aftermarket version in our asus rog Strix r-tx 2080 TI so get the fastest r-tx 2080 TI you can overclock it as much as you can and then combine it with the fastest gaming cpu and although the I $9.99 hundred K which has eight cores and sixteen threads is not currently available and I should point out a huge caveat here that I'm not encouraging anyone preorder this until they can see the reviews which should be coming out in just a few days where we talked about performance and price to performance and the ridiculous overpriced cost right now because they're charging 580 bucks for this if you preorder it Newegg ignoring all that and just assuming guess you want the best the best the 9900 K we can safely assume is going to be that so I'm basically today going to be taking the system that I built last month swapping out a few parts swapping in the faster parts and then I will follow this video up later on since this is a build of the month with some additional testing that will be separate from my introductory launch day testing of this which way which I am working on separately last thing I guess I should mention before get started as the price and this system when we built it about a month ago it's about 2400 ish dollars and that's including a $1,200 RTX 2080 ti which was half of the price this system I'm doing today is closer to 3000 about 2900 to 3000 depending on when you buy the parts and some fluctuations and stuff and I did want to point out where most of that money is coming from the CPU is 200 bucks more right now again if you pre-order it's 580 bucks so that's the price I'm going with for now as compared to about 380 for the 8700 K the motherboard I'm using is the z3 90 tight sheet ultimate from asrock which is their highest NZ 390 motherboard this is a pretty nice board but you can get by with something cheaper for example the board I used last month was more in the 180 dollar range CPU cooler I'm using is the cooler master master liquid ML 360 our RGB 360 millimeter radiator with addressable RGB LEDs and everything but it is also about a hundred bucks more than the 240 millimeter radiator that I recommended for last month's build and then finally the graphics card is also about 100 bucks more last month I used the price of 1150 this month I'm using the price of 1250 because again you can't find these anywhere and that's the rough price I'm assuming these Strix cards are actually going to be selling for once they are more readily available so that's what's making the $500 price difference going from about $2,400 to $2,900 whether all that money is worth it is going to be up to you the viewer at home my job is just to build this system so let's get started normally when I do a build I kind of go over all the parts and since I already built this system I just really quickly want to point out what's different other than of course the all-in-one cooler we got the motherboard processor memory and graphics card so motherboard is the asrock z 390 Taichi Ultimates this is the highest end a Z 390 board that as rock is coming out with at least at launch right here and as you can see it's pretty much got a dark grey color scheme going on with some black accents here and there it's got a little bit of a steampunk vibe going on with the gear design on there chipset heatsink you might notice a couple ultra m dot two slots right there below the CPU so those are in decent locations there's another one down here at the bottom that does have a heat spreader on it too this is probably going to be your ideal location to start with and if you have more amused you can add them there of course your 9900 case it only has 16 dedicated PCIe lanes go into all of your PCI Express kind of activity down here as well as your MDOT two slots so depending on your configuration these are going to be splits different ways at different times that said a few other features on the board that I do appreciate debug led down there so helping you out with some post code readouts as you're getting started up surface mounted reset and power buttons are always nice to have especially if you're doing an outside-the-box build if RGB support in the form of three pin 5 volt header as well as 4 pin 12 volt headers for the newer addressable style as well as the older non addressable style our power delivery up here is supported by an 8 pin and a 4 pin a supplemental CPU power connector and it does look like we have some pretty beefy heatsinks on there since I am just doing a build here I'm not going to speak to the performance of this power delivery setup but it does seem like asrock has put a decent amount of effort into that here's a look at the rear i/o including some antenna connection points since we do have built an 802 dot 11 AC Wi-Fi there is an external clear CMOS button there as well which I also appreciate we also have plenty of USB connectivity there's two USB 3.0 headers there as well as the newer you to be 3.1 gen2 header beneath them and that it looks like we have at least seven fan connectors on the board one two three up here at the top four down here on the bottom right five over here along the bottom edge six up here next to the DIMM slots and then oh eight total I guess seven eight over here on the left side if I have an initial complaint about this motherboard it's the i/o shield I do wish that asrock would upgrade these at least for their highest end ones this is still kind of the older single piece style but hey it's still functional enough and then it's for accessories there's not a whole lot speak up in here they do include a rigid high bandwidth sli bridge for 10 series GPUs and then they do have an external antenna you can add in there as well beyond that I've got my CPU of course here too in case you guys wanted a quick closer look at it it is an engineering sample and it is in this package that has Paul's Hardware written on it which makes me feel special thanks Intel for making this little package just for me also I'm gonna swap in this memory kits the Trident II RGB just because the kit I recommended in the build video was an RGB kit so this will have it look the same this is a 3200 speed kit not a 3600 speed kit but I'll see if I can maybe overclock it or something like that then of course lastly our graphics card the newly redesigned Asus r-tx 20 atti ROG Strix version and I already did a video where I tried this out with overclocking so if you're interested I will link that in the description so check it out alright let's move on with the building process alright guys this system has been reassembled only required partial disassembly and I think the only piece in here that I haven't actually shown you unless you watch the original video last month is the power supply which is an EVGA 750 watt g3 which I am using the custom sleeve cable kit for EVGA s so that is sold separately just please bear that in mind these pretty black cables other than that I wanted to point out that our fans there which should honestly be acting as an intake because there is a dust filter over on this side for these three fans I left in the orientation they are purely for aesthetics oh don't hate on me for that when I do follow up and test the system I'll flip those around so they're pulling air in rather than pushing air out right now we have very negative pressure in this case which isn't an ideal scenario and I also wanted to point out that with this motherboard since we have the USB 3.1 gen2 plug as I'll plug that in so we're now fully maxed out on our front panel IO there as well I wish I could give you guys more information on the system like actually testing it and everything but I'm not allowed to do that quite yet but you should stay tuned to my channel for when I am allowed to do that because I will be following up with some benchmark tests on the 9900 kay very soon as soon as I am allowed to share that with you guys but of course all the parts I used in today's build the fastest gaming PC you can currently build within reason for a single GPU are all listed down in the video's description so check that out hit thumbs up button if you enjoyed this video thanks again for watching guys and we'll see you next time you
