BEST $900 Gaming PC Build Guide - RTX 4060 i5 12600K (w/ Benchmarks)

thank you yo what's up guys welcome back to another full piece of build guide if you've never built a PC before you've come to the right place here we show you guys how to build the system from start to finish I guide you guys through the whole process we're using the newly released RTX 4060 and we're going to be using it with an Intel processor let me tell you guys what we're covering here today first we're going to go over all the parts and their prices why we chose them second we're going to jump into the build guide remember if you've never built a PC before you're good I got you I'm going to cover the whole process by the end of the build guide you're going to have the confidence to build your very first rig anyone could do it and then third at the very end we're going to be putting the assistant to the test against all current popular titles it's going to turn into a montage at the end of this video we're going to frag it up in a bunch of titles let's do it so first main star of the show we went with an RTX 4060 in the white colorway this one's by Zotac gaming let's open it up now 46 these go for 300 bucks this one I believe was 330 and that's only because it's white so yeah this very same card is available for 30 bucks less than the black colorway but I want it to match our theme boom here's this little guy right here looks clean two fan card it's got a minimalistic design it's rocking some silver as well back plate looks clean here are the video ports it's going to offer you the usual three display ports and one HDMI port yeah guys very clean car that we're going to be using so we'll set that to the side so what we chose to work with our 4060 is an Intel i5 12 600k this goes for 205 bucks so why'd we go with the I5 12600k well all the 12 gen non-ki5s would have definitely bottlenecked their 4060 and all the 13 non-ki5s what bottleneck your 4060 as well the 4060 will not be working to its full potential now the 12 600k it's a good choice for the price it doesn't come with a stock heatsink so we'll be pairing it with a dope 35 Buck White colorway heatsink that will keep it nice and cool and the 12 600k is going to support our 4060 and a lot of different titles and help our 4060 get closer to that 100 utilization when it's gaming which you definitely want to do right because you want to use what you paid for and this is a really great combo you'll see what I'm talking about when we put the system to the test you will not be disappointed all right guys so now let's jump into the motherboard this is the b760 chipset which means it supports Intel 12th gen and Intel 13th gen so if you want to upgrade to a 13th gen Intel processor in the future you're covered this system is upgrade proof this is the Micro ATX form factor and has built-in Wi-Fi and it's going to use ddr4 get this guy out boom it gives us two m.2 SSD slots and here are the ports it comes with gonna get the job done I'm gonna get the i o Shield out and here's the Wi-Fi antennas if you're going to be using a wireless connection for the storage we're going to go with a one terabyte m.2 SST this is by WD blue very Speedy storage I use it all the time very reliable for the ram we're gonna go with 16 gigabytes 3600 megahertz Corsair Vengeance lpx good kit for the money so it's going to power all our components is a 650 watt bronze rated by Aris game power supply let's open this guy up and here it is 650 Watts it's going to be plenty of juice for all the components in our system and also if you want to make any upgrades 650 watts is going to cover a couple upgrades as well and now what are we going to be putting everything in let's get this case this is a Micro ATX case by bit Phoenix the Phoenix is an OG company in the PC case game this is their Nova meshm it comes with three pre-installed RGB fans so that's cool two in the front and one in the back [Music] accessories are found in the back of the kit take a look at the front of the case plenty of airflow right there in the front spill it's gonna look sick all right guys that covers all our essential components so all the parts we're using for the build will be listed in the video description now for the parts that are totally optional but they up the Aesthetics of our build by a lot this is our custom sleeve power supply cable extension kit in the white colorway so on the front of our build this is going to be on display beautiful clean white cables instead of the stock cables that look not so clean because simply the extension cables look way better make your system pop way more it's going to look way dope we want more light inside our build so we're going to be using our crater RGB extension kit the kit comes with two RGB LED strips that are very flexible the cables we need to connect it to the motherboard and a lot of super strong magnetic attachments so I can sit cleanly inside our case we're also going to be throwing our GPU support in there and last our Funko Pop of choice we're going to be using Vegeta it's gonna look sick in there and that's it that's all we're going to be using for this build you can pick these up on our site creatorhq.com all right guys let's jump into the build guide all right guys let's get our I5 open first we're going to be installing our CPU this little guy right here into our CPU socket okay so get the lever of the CPU socket pull it to the side and all the way up pull this all the way up take a look at the CPU golden little arrow on the bottom left hand side of it we took a look at our CPU socket there's also an arrow on the bottom left hand side of it that fits back up we line up the arrow the CPU with the air on the CPU socket so we're going to hover over our i5 and Let It Drop into place that didn't go in no worries just lift it back up and try again hover it over Let It Drop into place and there you go our i5's in we'll return this back down make sure that this part is underneath this metal right here like that and now we return the lever back to its original position pull it all the way down and tuck it into here you will feel some resistance that is normal this piece comes off by itself cool it's in next we're going to install our cooling to the heatsink so let's open this thing up it has a v right here I'm facing in front of me inside the bag we want this back plate that says Intel and we want this Intel bag the thermal paste fan attachments screws fan right here first things first flip this over open up the Intel bag get the screws out we get this we're going to slide this into here secure it with the screws all right it's in all the way same thing for the other side get it into place secure with the screws all right that's done now these things we want to move them not all the way to the end like that but pretty close to the end like right there do it for all four this one's already in the position this one is two this one a little more over there that looks good now they all line up all right that's good get our motherboard so now we have our motherboard in front of us and these we want to put these all the way to the end boom boom we're gonna put this underneath the motherboard these four points we're gonna put them through these four points and there we go it's all lined up now we're gonna lay it on the desk and line it up cool now we're ready to secure this first we need to put thermal paste on top of our I5 check it out we want to put a pea sized amount on top of it so I'm in the middle of it I'm gonna squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze I'm gonna give myself a little piece size them out in the middle of our I5 CPU all right I'm gonna lift up now look at the heatsink and remove this protective film we're gonna line up all four sides with the four points on the CPU now the way I'm gonna do this is I'm going to lay it down carefully so I'm making sure that all four points are gonna line up before I touch the thermal paste everything looks good I'm going to lower it down gently and yes everything lined up good if I need to make small adjustments go ahead and do that okay good now when we secure we want to secure one end a little bit once one side has attached we're going to move to the screw across from that one so we can secure this heatsink evenly that one's attached and now this one down here [Music] now the one across from that one this one all right cool we got all of them attached a bit now we can finish tightening them so I'll start with the first one again and that's in all the way when the screwdriver stops that's it it's getting all the way now the next one so I'm screwing screwing and once my screwdriver stops like that that's how I know it's good I'll let you know when it's fully secured by the screwdriver stopping next one screwing screwdriver starting to stop and it has stopped it's good to go last one done it doesn't let you over tighten it because it does stop you when it's in all the way everything looks good now we're going to attach this fan on to it so I have the cables over here and the black's thicker it's going to be facing the fin it also has arrows right here which means that the air is going to blow in from here through this heatsink and cool it all right so first we're going to get this little metal attachment put it through here and the bottom Point as well and we're going to be clipping it into here that it's going to hold the fan into place now same thing for the other one I'm gonna put it through the bottom point and the top point just like that and clip it in good fans in now the fan has two cables one of the cables is to connect the actual fan to the motherboard and that's going to go right here it's labeled CPU fan should look like that now the second cable is for the lighting of the fan that's going to go right here three pin RGB header it only goes in one way the arrow is going to be on the left hand side that's it and we take this off of this part of the cable this is a chain system so we can hook up another three pin RGB device into this and we are going to do that but we'll go over that later now the installation of our Ram so we're gonna get the levers of Slot 2 and Slot 4 of ram slots we're going to line up the indent of the ram where it's not indented on the ram slot so this way and I'm gonna put it into place and once I have it into place like this then I'm ready to push down or both of my thumbs all the way until it goes in and you'll hear a clip and this lever will go all the way back up same thing for the other Ram stick put it into the fourth slot all right it's in push down both thumbs done RAM installed now our SSD I'm going to remove this heatsink with a zero screwdriver let me take it off now let's get our m.2 so this little thing we're going to push it in right here and then we want to pull this black lever towards us like that and now the m.2 can sit right on top of it and now we're going to move that lever to the right and it's going to hold on to our m.2 and now our m.2 SSD will no longer go up it's going to be insecured by that right there now before we put the heatsink back on let's turn it around and remove this protective film and we secure the heatsink on the SSD [Music] nice now we're ready to put our motherboard inside our case so before putting any motherboard inside a case you want to make sure that all the points of the motherboard line up with a motherboard standoff inside the case so for this case we only need to add two motherboard standoffs one right here and one right here so we're going to locate the bag that came with the case and inside the bag we'll find two motherboard standoffs that we need and this tool to help us screw in the standoffs put a standoff into it and we're going to screw it in first one up here so we screwed it in right there and now the next standoff down here cool so now we'll highlight the two standoffs we added and the other ones that should have already been in place now let's get our i o Shield open it up and we're going to clip it in from the inside of the kiss want to make sure that three dots are on the bottom and just push it in until you hear the quick all right IO shielding now let's lay the case down it's easier to secure the motherboard this way all right so let's get this motherboard in here when we're laying it down we want to first line up the ports of the motherboard with the i o Shield so let's get these fan cables on top of the motherboard we don't want it under the motherboard and line up the ports with the i o Shield so check to see that everything looks good it's all lined up okay good then the motherboard lays flat and I like to lighten up the middle standoff with the motherboard like that this one right here now we're ready to secure all the points with this screw that came with the case [Music] our motherboard is not secure I'm going to highlight all the points we should have secured and the one back here as well all right cool guys next up we're going to get our power supply inside the case so we're not going to be using all these cables I'm going to get out of the way the one we're not using we're using these right here now I'm going to connect our custom sleeved extension cables originally the big 24 pin would have hooked up to the motherboard now it's going to hook up to the 24 pin extension like that and now this welcome to the motherboard next ones we're going to locate our PCI e-cable this is going to power our RTX 4060 it has two a pins but we're only going to be using one a pin for the 4060. so if we take a closer look at it you'll notice that it splits into six plus two so when we look at the extension cables you're going to want to find one that also splits like that six plus two and that's how you know this one it's the right cable to hook up so PCI Express to PCI Express extension done next we have our CPU cable we are going to be using both of these a-pin CPU cables now this one splits into four plus four so we want to look for our extension cable that splits four plus four and we're gonna hook up two of these so the first one get another one four plus four and connect it to the CPU power cable but we gotta slide this together first done awesome guys so now these clean cables are going to be on display in the front instead of this stock all right I'm gonna clean up these cables real quick with the included Combs all right guys now we're ready to secure the power supply so we want to make sure that the fan is facing down and we're just going to slide it into here and we're going to line it up and secure it with four screws that come with the power supply they also come with the case as well all right our power supply is secure I want to go ahead and remove the hard drive cage that's inside of here because we don't need it we're going to be using an SSD so we're going to unscrew this and then we can just slide it right out get this out of there now we have more space here for cable management now it's time to start plugging in our cables we're going to break all our cables down into three groups first group of cables are the case cables that connect things like the power button and the USB ports up here to the motherboard second group of cables is our power supply cables which power things and third group of cables is going to be all our fans and all our lighting all right let's do it so first group of cables are case cables first cable HD audio going to connect right here and it only goes in one way should look like that next is our jfp1 cables I'm going to throw a chart up on the screen first we're going to hook up the hcd LED cable positive on the left hand side so I'm going to flip it over and I'm plugging it into the second row of pins first and second pins should look like that and right on top of it is where we're going to hook up the power LED cables positive again on the left side and these go right above the one we just plugged in first row first and second pins should look like that last cable is our power switch this one it doesn't matter what way you plug it in positive and negative doesn't matter it plugs into the first row of pins third and fourth pins right there now right above our jfp one is where we're going to hook up our USB 3 cable we're going to line up the hump here on the left side we want to line it up straight and then push right in all the way and it'll look like that okay so we're done with all our case cables now moving on to our second group the power cables so we're going to go ahead and plug our first one up here our big 24 pin power cable so I'm going to work it in we're gonna have this clip clip that cure so I'm gonna line it up straight and push it all the way in and it looks super clean guys look at that next power cable we're gonna hook up our CPU power right here so for the first one we want the clips to clip on top get it in and once I have it into place I'm just gonna push it all the way and get it to clip all right that's in now for the next one guys we're not going to be hooking up all late only four so let's split it apart and plug in only four and we'll go ahead and clean these up better but I'm just trying to show you guys how it looks there you go so four of them so this one does not plug in and the other one is in looking good looking good cool so now on to the back of our case we're gonna plug in our SATA power cable doesn't matter which one of these you hook up I'm gonna be hooking up this one and this is going to power the fan controller of the case all three fans of the case are hooked up to this but it needs power we will plug this in right here there we go and the last power cables for our RTX 4060 we'll be using this later but now we're going to take care of all the fans inside our case and the lighting our RGB strips okay so let me guide you guys through the strip installation so first thing we want to do is we link them together boom above strips drilling now we have an extension cable we will not be needing it now we need to hook up this cable right here is going to connect both of our strips to the motherboard I have four pin RGB Port so let's connect this to the strip chain this could keep going if you wanted to add a third RGB strip you would connect it to this end now I'm going to use the magnetic attachments to secure it into the case I'm going to put one strip up here the other one down there foreign that looks clean let me show you the finished product so nicely tucked and then I made it go down there for the rest of the strip and this one goes all the way down now let's go ahead and hook it up to the motherboard so here's the end and we're going to run it under here it's going to plug in right here right next to our HD audio cable and we want the arrow on the left hand side when plugging this Cable in all right so we have our RGB strips hooked to the board now let's go to the back of our case so as I mentioned earlier all three fans and the lighting of the fans are hooked up to the fan controller so we need to hook up the fan controller to the motherboard to connect all the three fans to the motherboard so the fan controller has two cables the lighting of it which is three pin RGB and the fan connector so we can go ahead and take care of the lighting first and I'm gonna run it up here turn the case around now remember I told you that the lighting of our CPU heatsink fan that we already plugged in has this to allow us to hook up more devices and you guess we're gonna hook up the lighting of the fan controller to it done tuck that in nicely and now we're gonna go back down here and we have ourselves a fan header right here right next to the lighting of our RGB strips so now the second cable of the fan controller and we hook it into the fan header boom and now all three fans of the case and the lighting of them are hooked up to the motherboard now the fun part we're going to install our RTX 4060 so first we want to remove the protective rubber that it had up here and on the ports and now we need to make room for it inside our case so we're going to get the lever of the PCI slot and push it all the way back and we need to remove the first and second brackets to make room for our 4060. the first one we unscrew comes right off and unscrew this right here and push this thing all the way back like that now for the second bracket we're going to want to push in but push this side over here up like that as you're pushing it down so then this part doesn't brush up against the motherboard right here and damage it and now I'm going to just go up and down up and down and this piece will come up so now we're going to line up our card with the PCI slot all right once we have it in there it's lined up we're going to push and boom it's going to go in and that lever that we pulled down earlier will clip back up now when you screw it in with these screws that came with the case all right that's secure now I can push this thing back and secure that cool final step our 4060 needs power [Music] and this is where our beautiful a pin extension cable comes into play click it in clean up this cable and look how clean the build turns out wow with this cable way better than the stock awesome all right guys and we're done if you're following along good grads now I need to put the Funko in and cable manage and put the panels back on foreign [Music] [Music] guys now we're going to plug it into power and let me get the lights off first boot up guys boom nice looks super clean look at the way the light affects the Funko Pop all right there we go when you turn on PC for the first time it automatically shuts down and restarts that's normal look at that look at the way it affects his hair yo that looks super sick guys this build came out so clean for 800 bucks with the newly released RTX 4060 wait till you find out how much power it has we're gonna frag it up real soon at 1080p but look you have yourselves here a system with tons of airflow beautiful lighting all the components in a clean white colorway and a nice little BPI 5 12 600k nicely cooled by our heat sink this is the B system this system came out awesome guys now we need to install Windows 11 from a USB flash drive I made a video on how to install Windows 11 for free from a flash drive that video is linked in the video description remember all the parts we use for this build are also linked in the video description now it's time to put this to the test let's frag it up for Rainbow Six Siege 1080p resolution Max fov to 9 Gear are the graphics settings let's jump into it so it's all right we'll get the next round [Music] oh oh whoa one more one more I'll go oh myself [Music] [Music] no here we go again we got two grown men right here holding a quarter let me show you how real man does it foreign [Music] [Music] good job gentlemen oh right there right there
