so I'm constantly changing things in my personal rig maybe just starting from the ground up switching CPUs I try to Zeon's with 4i v 7s and so this bill here is is kind of the apex of where I expect to be for this year and I say that because I really don't see the feasibility and going any higher than this given what I do on my personal rate course adding a second graphics card would be I guess you could do it but given the monitors that I have I really don't need a second one and the 6700 K does everything I want it to do I don't I don't think that purchasing a 6800 K or maybe a 69 50 X some of those crazy expensive ones from Broadwell are justifiable given what I do I do edit in 4k at 30fps and 60fps and 1080p but the 6700 K is plenty for that and as long as you have an adequate amount of RAM on board in this case I have 16 here I'm probably going to upgrade that to 32 at some point but 16 is kind of the bare minimum for that kind of content creation but for the most part everything else is subjective so what you decide to cool your cpu with what you decide to power your computer with the graphics card to an extent depending on what you do with your computer you play a lot of games and only 4k monitor then you're going to want more GPU horsepower than probably this right here and then a z170 motherboard preferably if you buy something like this it wouldn't make any sense to not purchase a z170 motherboard so that's what we've got here now something else I've decided to do this time around is get as many things as possible to match so there's always something in the rig that doesn't look right maybe the RAM or I don't know the motherboard I have to paint myself so in this case you all know that I like the color white because white takes on the color of any any LEDs that you shine at it I've decided to go as white as possible for this rig I was going to call this video the widest PC build on YouTube that can be portrayed as kind of a racial slur so I'm just going to call it I don't know what I'm gonna call it go ahead and leave some comments some suggestions I guess I could call part two the finished product whatever you guys decide to name it but this is a white motherboard for the most part so the PCB is actually white as I'll show you here in a second this is not white but I'm going to paint it white I painted plenty of graphics farzam use white engine enamel the glossy white to make this thing match everything else the radiator the actual radiator itself in this cap in 240 X from deep cool they just released you can find this part as well as everything else that you see here in the video's description the radiator itself is white which is super cool super unique I don't know many radiators are white and then also the the water block itself or even across the pump water block combo that is white as well and there's a white LED inside of that so yeah everything for the most part is white or will be white like I want to paint that and then so that was really loud white cables from cable mod hook this up again so we have two six pins for video we have two eight pins for video and then one EPS eight pin for the CPU and a sixth while 16 24 pin for motherboard power I also threw in a cable mod Asus or RGB LED strip I don't know this supports or on board in which case I won't use the yeah I won't use the built-in one I'll just plug it into the motherboard but we'll find out I mean I don't mind using this I've used it before perfect for what we plan to do with this build I don't think I'm going to turn it any other color other than white at first maybe I'll get fancy with it later on but so first thing I'm going to do is paint that thing I'm gonna paint that that thing you're gonna paint the graphics card and then I'll go ahead and show you that this motherboard is beautiful you know what I'm gonna show you right now there are a few like I guess the columns sand brown colors on the board that for the most part this thing is white and that's perfect so needless to say this board will look absolutely beautiful I mean really in any case but especially the one that I plan on putting in which I haven't mentioned yet it's the NZXT s340 white case I'm waiting on it it's not here yet it should be here sometimes afternoon I have to walk down to the post office and pick it up everything about this board is just thoroughly thought I really like it I can't wait to put this thing together and see what it all looks like the board isn't really expensive either so you're probably thinking well that's a two hundred two hundred Li motherboard I pick this one up on Newegg for a hundred and seventy something dollars US dollars so that's really not that bad anything in the hundred dollar price range for a z170 board I would recommend anything over that you're kind of just paying for the aesthetics so in this case yeah I did pay a bit of a premium for the white PCB but my opinion it was totally worth it oh my I'm sure a few of you are going to be very disappointed with my decision to paint this thing but in the end I think you're gonna you're gonna see what I mean I really think this is gonna look beautiful and white it already looks beautiful in black but it's not going to match really anything in the rig except for like some of these accents and stuff so white it is whenever you're doing something this tedious always be very very careful of your surroundings so in this case there are a few screws holding the fans into place that I do have to take off and not just screws holding the fan on but also holding this top shroud on so you see that screw right in there very carefully take a screwdriver and and pull that one out that takes off this front shroud here see it's almost off already and then we'll have to take off the cooler in order to get to the back plate which I also want to paint so I'll have to basically disassemble everything on here before before I can start painting anything that one was for the LEDs in the top shroud here that wire right there is what plugged into this corner lead here but something else that I came across is the fact that this is kind of multi-layered so if you if you look closely here you can see that kind of off blackish tan brown gray I don't know what it is anyway these pieces here would be really cool looking if I could just paint those I don't know if I can take them off though it looks like they're kind of melted into the the actual top frame so maybe I can push those out with the screw I've done it on the MSI 980ti but I don't know if I can do it here I don't want to break the front shroud so we'll see I decide to do I'm gonna be completely honest here that looks like some terrible thermal paste a Seuss what is going on I'm gonna put our own thermal paste on here give me one sec to clean it off with some isopropyl well after about 20 minutes of prime with this flat-head screwdriver bit right here I finally got all six of these pieces off and this is all I'm gonna paint for the top of the gph I keep in mind this will be facing downwards so you really won't even won't even be seeing it for the most part but these accents should go nicely with the back plate which is up here so I finally took the back plate off as well I pull it off there's like a little LED panel thing behind this logo and that also lights up you can turn that different colors I set that right here since there's two LEDs it's really not there we go now two LEDs right there and they kind of just I guess spread out across the panel and shine through the logo and cut out on the back plate but anyway we're going to paint this whole thing and we're gonna paint these six parts here and I think that's all we're going to be painting now yeah I got I got a little hungry so let's go ahead and take these outside give them a couple coats of engine enamel white gloss so I was super excited about finishing this card up it's not the best paint job in the world certainly not my personal best but everything looks really good I think that's how its moved from the side from the top but I forgot one thing and it's this is going to start okay see underneath that I'm supposed to have the LED panel completely forgot to include it I'm have to take everything off again to get this back plate off with a PCB to put this backward goes let's go ahead and boom case is here folks we're gonna open that up and start assembling everything from the ground up see this is what I have to go through when I don't have a full time cameraman I could just use a tripod like I've done in the past but some reason this just feels more personal to me it's not as clean-cut in the end but well you get you get my voice close-up closeup into the mic and at the same time you're getting a first-person perspective of a what I think would be a pretty cool PC building and while this is really difficult to do with one hand OS 340 how I have missed you a few of you probably are wondering why I went with this one instead of my my favorite P 400 that's because I already bought the p400 twice and built in it twice and I feel like going on an old school again to a good ol s340 I just like the minimalistic look of this I did as well of the P 400 and the underglow the p400 has this doesn't have but I think the white accent in there is going really good next to the motherboard and I think the graphics cards gonna look really sweet next to that here it is as well I always get excited when it comes to picking the processor for Bill I mean that this is really going to determine what your system can do well and what it can't do well especially when it comes to content creation which is what I do a lot of nowadays and I honestly was expecting to purchase an i7 6800 K for this build but after pricing everything out I mean yeah you're getting two extra cores and four extra threads but you're going to pay more for an X 99 motherboard and most of them don't come in Allen think any x99 motherboard is a comes in white does it I don't know maybe there's like one or two but they're certainly going to be over 200 bucks and on top of that the i7 6700 K is one of the best processors for gaming period in most cases I would recommend an i-5 6600 K and you really will notice no as much of a difference between that this but for content creation you want the best of both worlds and that's what I think the 6700 K offers and I got this plus the board on Newegg with a twenty dollar bonus for for pairing the two for the bundle so I only ended up paying about three hundred effective the u.s. dollars for this and then about 170 bucks for that so 300 bucks for a 6700 K is a no-brainer in my book if you can make room for an i7 I recommend it and if it's only going to be about 60 to 80 bucks more than an unlocked I five to me again no-brainer so that's why I won't the 67 okay these are cheaper platforms just altogether yeah the nice big sockets on those X I on boards looks so good but for so much more money we're talking about two to three hundred bucks more just to enter x99 territory when you combine the CPU and motherboard price so yep as you 170 dues for now it takes a true Pro to be able to do this with one hand where's Golden Arrow so that's right there on the bottom gonna be going that way chin there we go and then tuck her in this right here folks is what we call tech porn just straight up nothing dirty just art it's hard so these aren't white themselves like the actual frame of these Tim's aren't white but the LED you've seen these before on my other rigs the LEDs inside of these are white so that'll kind of work right and on top of that I'm gonna make sure the cards LEDs are are synced to white as well so we should have a nice white theme all around including oh really I hate it when they do this one that when these right here aren't retractable so you're just shoving your dim in on one side and then having to kind of work it on this side that's an inconvenience but anyway if I had the time I would take off these these covers and paint them as well but I'm not prepared to use a heat gun to get these things off they are difficult to get off without are you gonna know I've done it before so why aren't you focusing there we go so I'm just gonna throw them in as is if it gets annoying and whatnot I might change of it I think for the most part it's gonna it'll blend it and then it's black on the board too so yeah I'm just gonna keep them the way they are one other thing about this board I want to point out a few for telling me on Twitter how much you like this board there are so many fan headers on this thing like you know most cases you have to buy a fan of if you want to put more than like four fans in there or these like a splitter I don't recommend doing that by the way well in this case you are not going to have a problem so good okay when you have a board that says assistant fan like a lot really assistant manual I'm just going to call it a chassis fan or like a CPU to fan or something come on what is that for and headers one of them's for a pump but whatever it's fan header and then another one here the assistant and then we have let's see one two three four five so we have five down here six ten ten fan headers on this mud of oh whoops and eleven there's one right here two eleven fan headers when are you ever going to use that many fans I can't imagine ever needing that many for a z170 platform but hey saber-tooth hooks you up and keep yourself nice and cool inside the case get it because it's a snow theme that was really it was really cheesy so this right here folks is the deep cool 240 e^x they're brand new 240 millimeter all-in-one radiator water cooler combo and see we had a white block on top it looks like the fluid is a is tinted some kind of dark kind of it's actually the fluid itself or it's just the tent of the of the tubing but the whole cooler is just perfect absolutely perfect for this bill look at the radiator the radiator itself is white even the fins are white that is so cool and the fans included are in a white frame they have a unique little blade design in they're not going to be the quietest but we can tune that in the computer itself from game or storm courses of their game or storm series so from the side but the fans in you'll see nothing but white and also from the inside of the case nothing but white along with the white water block and pump integrated in there as well that is super cool yeah I really can't wait for this end this is this whole build I don't know if you guys are seeing it yet but this whole build is is gonna look so cool in all white I think this is going to be one of the widest PC builds ever on YouTube and that's thanks to a lot of different parts kind of working together and a bit of customization on on my part and there it is installed so I have the fans pulling here in from this side sorry the couch is really it's really noisy and they're pulling in from this side it's going to push through the radiator fins into the case now there will be a bit of hot air in here but that's better than exhausting air out this side we're having the fans on this side and I guess pulling area and I prefer push and that's what they're doing they're pushing air through the radiator yeah either way you're going to be choking the graphic spread so I'd rather have air here for the graphics card to to pull even if it's going to be pretty hot so this has got to be one of the best AIO cooler designs ever I mean that's so painless and it you know it's secure once you have all all those screws tucked in and just secure the block itself only to so it's super easy to pull off not really like that design so here's what it looks like so far folks as you can see white that is the point I think it's looking really good so one other thing that I tried to match with the rest of the build was the solid state drive it is a 240 gig and you can you can mount too right here so one's definitely going right there if I get a second one later on I'll put it beside it but check this out so I got the Toshiba Tryon Trianon how I say it but boom now you tell me that huh huh that's pretty good right that's pretty close actually the the gray is almost perfect it's almost the exact same color so I think this is gonna go well with the rest of the bill okay up next is the power supply one thing before I go ahead and install that I have a Wi-Fi card I know it's hard to tell but I painted the top of that PCB black I use Plasti Dip so it's not gonna be conductive I don't recommend doing this normally but it's a Wi-Fi card something happens to it it's like 20 bucks so I'm not too worried about it but it was a green board and that didn't anything in here so yeah now it's black it's nice and subtle ish and it looks a lot better than it did when it was a green as for the power supply this is the 600 watt modular power supply from deep cool that I told you originally was going to McLovin I decided to keep it for this build here now deep cool is sending a 1000 watt power supply and I'm gonna put it in this rig that's because I have a special plan for this thing I'm gonna need to power maybe not a thousand watts of it but future proof and power proof for sure so this one is modular as you can see now the cable mod cables are not designed specifically for this so I had to buy extensions that they don't offer cables for this particular modular power supply from deep pool so we're going to be using these included modular cables we're just going to have to use the excess cable in here and then tie the extensions from the cable mod kit on the ends of these and plug those into the leads on the computer another cool thing I didn't mention about the this power supply here is that all of these modular cables that are included with the PSU are black so they're all black sleeve you don't have to worry about that yellow and red ketchup and mustard look also decided to paint these so these are the SSD trays that go right here on top of the basement one of these will be occupied for now the other one might be later on but yeah so something else to kind of go along with the white theme here and okay I think I've plugged everything in if I missing something I'll know right away but this is it this is the final product as you can see yeah mostly mostly white I did I farmed something right here I I don't know what I did to do this but I ended up scraping some paint off of the back plate so I had to improvise and kind of paint over that with what I had so it's not the cleanest looking it wasn't originally but it's certainly not now but from a good two feet away it looks nice and clean so it's like a two foot mud I guess but everything in there is just so color coordinated it's I I really like the way that it did it looks I think I'm gonna like it even more when we turn it on I did put one of these TF 120 s in the air from deep pool from the gamer storm series as well as a fan text fan up top 140 to kind of fill in the whole gap up here because that was just my OCD was kicking in and then of course the white radiator and a water loop from deep cool I think that is the that's the pinnacle of this build I really like the the black cables here in contrast the white pump and the all-white radiator that is so cool-looking so hopefully it boots up hopefully we have any problems let's see what it looks like with the lights on and one last thing right here it's always tough getting this thing perfect yeah well ya know that looks like straight these are a big deal to me I like to have these on my builds this is just just let you know what you're packing inside speaking of which he or she is folks oh yeah so uh this was originally red and you can change this with their or a software just go ahead and download it online and you can customize this something that's a little strange to me the top of it let me turn down the exposure the top of it is one color so you set you set the color in the app but then the top of it is the color that you set it to but then the sides here are actually a deviation of that color so for instance on top here it's like an aqua marine ish blue-green color and on the bottom it's strictly blue like there's no green at all in it so it just kind of deviates from the original color scheme you select in the app at least here on the sides and on the bottom even though you really can't see the bottom in this case that would be something to note if you're planning on purchasing this particular 1070 featuring a su Sora other than that I am very happy with the build there we go so it looks super orange everywhere else in the room but in the case you're seeing a truer color and this by the way can be changed with the included remote that that will come with any cable mod RGB kit not RGB strip but RGB kit so that's white new red let's see green is a blue here that's super blue in the camera a while that is a yellow believe it or not but that looks pretty white here in the camera it's a white balance issue and then it's a lighter blue it's like a Bluegreen almost and then a purple color all in all very very happy with the bill that I will post benchmarks is very soon I know you guys are really wondering what this thing can do so I'm going to put it through put it through all of my games that I have on Steam maybe buy a few extras and start testing with those as well too because I'm kind of falling behind in terms of a modern game so I'll do that um you go one last shot that's that's er I don't know what I want to call it I want you guys to tell me what you think this should be called so leave a comment with a name suggestion my brother said something like Arctic tundra or frozen tundra I don't have something snow assure or snow ash one come on Greg something that has to do with one of the Arctic the snow ice something like that those would be my suggestions stick within those realms although you could come up with something else that who knows I may like it so that's it thanks for sticking around and watching the build log I know this was interesting and the first-person perspective is not too often that we do something like that on the channel but I'm still trying to work on some things I usually do the tripod mount and you guys just watch me put it together via tripod but I wanted to see if you guys prefer this style or if you prefer that style to be completely honest with you doing it this way is a lot easier because I can just crop and crop and crop and it's fine no big deal but when I have it on a tripod I have to consistently move things around I have to I have to find the exact place where I want to crop it I have to blend it in I have to do voiceovers that's a that's a whole other thing I have to do I have to use the microphone and do voiceovers so that takes up a lot of time too if I do it in a vlog style which I've noticed a lot of tech tubers have been doing that recently it just makes things to go by a lot smoother for me in the editing process maybe that's why they're doing it's just easier on that too so I see that now but let me know what you think about this build the build long the series itself and let's put it through some benchmarks in the next video shall we thanks for watching this is science studio thanks for learning with this
