New PC Build Guide: My $2000 Video Editing, Gaming & Streaming PC

2016-12-15
it's open welcome by the tech city this is Brian and I hope you are all having a great day and if not then hopefully this video will make your day great and just a second let me open okay so that's much better and today we're going with an all-new PC that costs around two thousand USD or three thousand AUD to build but will definitely kick the pants out of gaming streaming productivity and video editing though this time around let's talk about what parts we are putting in the build then we'll quickly build this big chunk of thunder tune it and then run some benchmarks now straight away off the get-go when going with a new PC you're not going to get the price performance levels that you're going to get with that of a full-on used parts build but that being said you will have or at least should have absolutely no hassles involved you also get lengthy warranties everything is clean and you won't need to clean or replace anything yourself which can save a lot of time and everything comes with an easy to follow instructions so there in general there's way less risk involved as opposed to going use not to mention everything is supported in the latest drivers - and also customer support is there to help you through troubleshooting ok so now for a breakdown of the pot so we went with cooler masters latest mastercase 5 which is their mid tower ATX case that actually supports extended ATX motherboards then for the mobile itself we have an msi x99s big carbon gaming Pro n i7 6800 K which is cooled by a cooler master Sadin 240 all-in-one the RAM is a paces Panther memory 32gb bake it though if you are like me and you are editing lots of 4k video footage then you may wish to add in another 32 gigabytes of this stuff for the graphics card we have an msi gtx 1070 gaming z ebay red black sleeve cables Western Digital 3 terabyte blue for backup and an a piece of one terabyte for the main OS Drive in gaming also another option is to have an nvme Drive the one I have here is an a piece of 480 gigabyte PCIe m2 which I can use as my scratch drive for Premiere Pro lastly all this is powered by the cooler master g7 50 M semi modular power supply and this build tallied up to around 1979 USD or three thousand and five Australian dollars also in this case I replaced the fans with jet flow red LED lit fans from coolermaster actually four of these and also got the clear side panel for this case to show off my one 3-3-7 hardware so these options did cost a little more but they aren't really needed so finally after setting up the PC it was time to boot it up and test it out and see how well it performs in games the OS used is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit which can still be upgraded from a cheap copy of 8.1 pro as for overclocking this beast I managed to get it to 4.2 Giga at one point three one volt Broadwell II x99 CPUs are renowned for being lazy overclockers and this certainly wasn't an exception the graphs card however was screaming past two gigahertz even with out-of-the-box settings which made this great for playing the latest demanding titles at even 4k on high settings here are some benchmarks for you guys in my shoe damn there we have it 4k gaming this thing can do it though not max ultra settings I can still get high out of a lot of the settings and it was a very smooth and awesome experience really satisfying as for editing videos on what is to become my main PC is simply bliss although some people say you only need 32 gigabytes of RAM I found myself coming into memory areas when editing large videos with over 100 gigabytes of footage putting an extra 32 gigabytes of memory solve this problem and editing with an nvme m2 PCIe drive was a smooth experience for productivity and both saving time this is definitely going to be something a small business might want to look at the last part of the performance with this build is the noise and temp levels now they can not over call it really well but the noise levels on idle will whisper quiet which can be tuned from the MSI motherboard itself and on load the temperatures were very well controlled with noise creeping up a little bit but still then not even anywhere near annoying and finally moving on to the cooler master master case 5 which was sent out as a review sample and what can be said about it well firstly I enjoyed building in this case everything was so pleasant and well thought-out the cable management the back was fantastic installing fans on the front had nice options fitting up to 3 140 millimeter fans the options for ads can also fit a 120 millimeter on the back a 240 mil on top and a 360 mil with dust filters extending to the top front and bottom I did find at the top however I could only screw off the rad at only six of the eight points that the radiator had support for and I had to remove the dust filter to do so moving on to the front input/output panel there are two USB 3 connections audio in and out hard disk drive light reset and power buttons behind that was 2 handles with plastic armor that was just coming off which kind of confused me since I would have loved the option to have just removed the handles completely for a cleaner look then there is the option four to five and a quarter inch drive bays at the top below that two three and a half inch hard disk drive drive mounts which slide out and then on the bottom inside there is room for two more two and a half inch drives that just sit in front of the motherboard below that is the semi enclosed bottom of the case where there's room for an additional two and a half inch drive and also besides that there is the mount for the power supply which has some soft supports there for easy mounting a bottom facing mounted power supply is standard here and the two feet below that have strong rubberized grips that are some of the most rigid I have ever seen welcomed with the cabling in the mice case five was also extremely good dare I say this is the best case I've ever had in terms of workflow this thing was just so damn easy to move in screws fit first go there was no sharp edges cable management spacing was generous with so many places to zip tie off to included accessories and screws were also more than generous this in my opinion was the standout feature of the MAS case 5 that is the flexibility solid construction and eserve room to work with the final look is very clean as well you guys that's it for my new 4k video editing gaming / streaming PC hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you did then be sure to suplex that like button and let me know in the comments section below have you tried video editing before if so what program do you use and if you just want to say something else then go at it I love reading the comments section as
