yo what is cooking everyone we have a back-to-basics build now what I mean by that is that this build will not be custom cooled so we're just gonna keep things air-cooled nice and simple we're gonna cool everything with the h7 quad Lumi from cry rig one of the key components of this build although none of this stuff is necessarily sponsored a lot of it was sent to me but they're not you know no one's paying me to make this video or to use any of their components the EVGA 1070 TI it's a heck of a car it's gonna game like a boss we have an 8700 K from Intel pretend there's a box there the motherboard power house is an asus rog Maximus 10 Hero this is one of the best Z 370 boards you can buy for any intel chip out there it's gonna look sweet it's gonna keep overclocks nice and steady up there around 5 gigahertz and it also has of course our to be support and you actually have it set out right here you can just take a look at it mmm check it out for ram we've got 4 or 4 gig sticks of course their Dominator Platinum's he's run a 3,000 megahertz and I like that there are four of them because we fill up all four slots a huge pet peeve of mine it sounds like it think it's seriously a first-world problem but I hate having two of those four dimm slots empty so I would prefer to I'll fill them up with 4 4 gig sticks and that's exactly what we have here from Corsair these look beautiful by the way these silver metallic fins up top are gonna complement the motherboard a very nice now to the left here we have a three sound that makes three fans two of them are 140 s1 is 120 so this one go out the rear and these two will go up front and I'm emphasizing a silence factor here because I will be again video editing quite a bit I don't want to hear my PC spool up when things get pretty hot inside these will keep everything nice and quiet these would really be the only fans in the system apart from the one with the h7 now the power supply another overkill factor for sure you could run this entire system by the way on maybe like a 500 watt power supply even less actually I've run this on a 400 watt PSU before comparable systems so a thousand watts is definitely overkill but I want to stay well within our efficiency curve in fact we might be slightly inefficient you know on the lower end where things start to taper off it's very difficult for a PSU to supply a small amount of power and it's difficult for a PSU to supply a large amount of power relative to its wattage rating so this is probably a little too much but it's gonna stay super quiet I love these P two power supplies from EVGA and I've got custom sleeve cables from cable mod 2 so things are gonna look sweet inside for storage we have an XP g basically a data 512 gig m2 SSD this is a piece I you based SSD so it's gonna run pretty fast I think we're looking at around what do we have here I think it's I think it's one gig reads and then maybe something like five or six hundred megabytes right anyway it's gonna be really fast faster than your traditional SATA m2 or SATA just generic SSD and this is my first one actually that's PCIe base so I'm really excited to see if you know there's gonna be any substantial difference between this speed when it comes to boot times you know program loading times so we'll test that out and then we also have a one terabyte WD blue which is just a you know all-around sweet hard drive for the price gives you plenty of storage for games and the like and lastly the house for all of our components will be the fractal design a mesh if I see mainly because this is one of my favorite cases of all time it's not gonna break the bank by any means and actually because this is the mesh if I see right so it's got the front airflow priority or with that little mesh paneled front this actually comes with a transparent like you know not tinted temper glass panel now as an option so fractal being as cool as they are decided to switch up the traditional approach right so the mesh device he originally came with a dark tempered glass panel some people like that I don't they offer you the option now to pair it with a you know not tinted panel I guess I should say so I very cool that they give you that option and to be honest I rip this from the define CTG but whatever just pretend I got all this in one package so without further ado we're gonna start building this thing and then maybe we'll run some benchmarks just so you guys get an idea of yeah the kind of computational power at our disposal now so a few things I want to address in this video you might be thinking to yourself Greg why did you choose the 8700 K if you were praising the 2700 X for being one of the best all-around CPUs out there and calling the 2600 X and 2600 the best value CPUs on the market you're praising Rison but you're choosing Intel what what's what's going on there why aren't you practicing what you preach and there's one very good in my opinion reason for choosing the 8700 K the answer has to do with content creation more specifically Adobe Premiere Pro and its built-in quick sync function which by default is disabled probably because not all CP is out there have integrated graphics processors and that's exactly what quick sync requires so it's basically a shift from software encoding to a hardware encoding there are some compromises we'll talk about that in the dedicated video but for now that is my upfront big reason for choosing the 8700 K over the 2,700 X which mind you does not have an integrated graphics processor really the only CP from Intel I can make a case for right now is the 8700 K possibly the 8400 i5 it's a six core lock variant which when paired with a B through 16 motherboard is a pretty decent value proposition sometimes it outperforms you know even the 2700 X in games right which is a more expensive CPU but you're limited to just that scenario and I don't like limiting myself I don't like telling people look if you're gonna just game get the CPU because that might not be all that you do within a year or so is time so having you know a CPU with multi-threading enabled and that overclocking support as well will give you a more future-proofed future that that really didn't come out right see I kind of seems like I'm playing both sides of the coin right I'm trying to coax up to the blue team and the red team and both of their fan bases they're extreme right and left wings right but that's not really my goal I've pissed off fan bases on both sides before and that's not you know I don't need that kind of like just bloodthirsty devotion from fans on my channel I want people to come to this channel with an open mind and and to be able to accept multiple it's a view based on use case scenarios because not everyone is the same in my case the 8700 K I think is gonna be the better bet for me if it's not I'll gladly go back to the 2,700 X I have no problem with that but for now I'm gonna try this out I'm gonna try the quick sync option and I will come back to you guys in a dedicated video to discuss my findings and maybe talk to Dmitry from hardware conducts a bit more and see what he thinks about the whole thing after he's got his testing done as well I'm gonna end the video with a few more shots of the build being that it's only air-cooled right through and through I think it's one of my better pcs just from an aesthetic standpoint because of first off these cables again from cable mod I'd reuse the same kit probably three or four times because I love the power supply first off from EVGA and I love the way that these cables look and pretty much any build being that they're primarily black which basically matches everything I love how quiet the system is thanks to the silent wings tree fans I love the case the mesh up I see and I really like this crier rig cooler here the h7 quad Lumi looks great with really anything but it definitely complements the metallic and I a chrome which accents of the asus rog board definitely one of my favorite boards on the z 370 chipset for sure you can find all these parts by the way linked in the description below if you want to build something similar with that let me know what you think about the build in the comments below be sure to give this video a thumbs up again thought it was cool thumbs down or the opposite you
