I've always liked building pcs I loved choosing the components putting everything together doing cable management and then lastly of course turning it on for the first time to watch that boot screen pop up on a monitor so in ASU's KF a to be quiet and crucial offer to send in some components for me to build a PC with I got very excited now there's a bunch of videos on YouTube talking about how to build a PC and they're really good so I won't do any of that instead I figured would just take a look at the components my thoughts of them and some benchmarks on the PC and then in some future videos I might make some individual reviews of some of the components in this computer so first of all let's take a look at the case which be quite provided among other components it's called the dark base 700 and it's a really great looking case it's extremely rigid features tempered glass a great mounting system for radiators up top a fan hub and just an all-around great look it's extremely quiet and has a really cool RGB strip running along both sides of the case which by the way can be turned off upfront it features two USB ports the controller for the LED lights a hard drive activity light which also happens to be the reset switch a nice and tactile power button a headphone and a mic jack and surprisingly a USB 3.1 type C port and next to that is the controller for the fan hub overall I really enjoyed building in it as everything from mounting components and radiators to cable management has been a pleasure the only issue I have with it is that I wasn't able to fit a rear exhaust fan because of the radiator block unit I also have no idea how to put the PSU cover pieces back on but that one's probably on me spec wise it's featuring the new AMD Reisen 2700 CPU it has a whopping 8 cores and 16 threads it's a very versatile CPU in a way because it'll handle gaming quite well but it'll also do lots of creative work with ease so it's really the best CPU for like me who tends to play some games but also gets into some more creative stuff like video editing and maybe also some streaming sometimes in Cinebench and at stock speeds it manages to get an insane score of 1466 nice cooling the CPU is the really stealthy and industrial looking be quiet silent loop 280 millimeter all in one water cooler now for someone who doesn't like the epilepsy inducing RGB effects of some coolers I really enjoyed the more professional look of the be quite silent loop but it doesn't only look good it's cooling performance is beyond what I'd expect at idle I'm averaging around 30 C which is alright but what's really surprising and cool pun intended is that it maxes out at only 45 C while on a synthetic load pair to the CPU we've got probably the best 16 gig ram kit you can get right now it's a 2 X 8 take kit from Corsair the Vengeance RGB which is Asus RS incompatible more on that later it's running at an insanely fast 30 600 megahertz speed which paired to a rise in CPU is really good and of course it looks badass supplying the gaming performance this time around we've got the kf8 2 geforce gtx 1070 TI x sniper white now some people think this card is a weird addition to Nvidia's GTX lineup and I agree it is we've now got a whopping 10 Pascal based gaming cards in the lineup and it's weird and confusing to people who don't know a whole lot about components but I'm in no way complaining about getting a 1070 TI it's an amazing card as it'll play any game that I can possibly throw at it as 1440p and at high settings I also really like the design of it it differs a bit from the cards we always see in these kinds of builds it's refreshing I haven't really overclocked the card yet and I don't really plan on it either as Nvidia's automatic speed boost feature seems to do the job just fine for my storage crucial stepped in and supplied me with a really nice 500 gauge SATA SSD I mounted it on the back of the case and it's been holding up really well now last year I built a PC with a 250 gig pcie-based SSD and it was super fast but also extremely expensive and not really worth it and what's really interesting here is that I never noticed a big difference in speed between my old PCIe SSD and this SATA crucial one I'm sure the speed difference is more noticeable when for example transferring big files but in day-to-day tasks I have not noticed a difference so at just a hundred and twenty dollars for a 500 gig SSD this crucial Drive is awesome in terms of our motherboard here Asus were nice enough to send in their ROG crosshair Hero 7 now this is really an overkill motherboard I'm not going to talk about every feature that it has because there are so many and it's literally got everything you could think of but what's really stood out to me so far is its awesome looks a Seuss's are a sync making it easy to sync up the RGB of most of my components and the great stability and bios that it offers I don't think you can find a better x4 70 motherboard on the market right now now for what's powering the build and doing it with ease we've got to be quite straight power 11 with 850 watts of power and in Nice 80 plus gold efficiency rating I don't have much to say about it and I haven't really thought of it much after installing it and with a power supply that's really good it means it does the job extremely well it's quiet it's modular and has really nice cables that come in the box now I know 850 watts is really overkill for this build but it means that I can sli high-end cards in the future which I might do so with all this said I want to thank a SUSE for supplying the motherboard the RAM and also the CPU be quiet for sponsoring the case the power supply and the cooler crucial for giving me the awesome 500 gig SSD and of course KF a - for sponsoring me with a really high-end graphics card in these times where GPUs are really expensive thanks so what do you guys think is there anything you would change did I do a good cable management job etc let me know in the comment section down below and I'll see you guys in the next video peace
