How to Build a $500 Gaming PC! Ryzen & RX 570 - Full Step by Step Guide | OzTalksHW

Oh [Music] what's going on everyone it's Ozzy for my socks hardware and today we have a $500 brand new PC build guide and this is going to be a step-by-step tutorial I'm gonna walk you through all the parts that we chose we're gonna go from there to building the computer step by step all the way up to installing Windows all of the drivers all of your games all of that stuff so if you watch this video completely you should have a fully built computer otherwise I did something wrong this is also the first time that the Asaf Hardware team and yes I actually have a team now has done something like this so really excited not entirely sure how this will work but hopefully it gets a pretty positive feedback coupled with this video guide is the official ostrog Hardware website we are finally live we've been working on this website for about a month now and we've been working really hard on it and here you can find two articles that correspond with this video that will show you how to build a computer step by step all written down and also this specific computer build guide so if you want to read that and sort of watch in the video or if you just want to reference the video or reference the article you can click on those at any time and again thank you guys so much for all the support and all the love the website or any of this actually wouldn't be possible without you guys so I'm actually very appreciative of all of you guys out there now for the PC built itself this computer will be able to play a lot of modern titles at 1080p with about medium to high pitch settings and we will test those games later on at the very end of the video once this is all built this includes popular games like fortnight and overwatch and csgo so if you're looking to build a computer this Christmas for any of those games this will be perfectly fine while this bill does not include peripherals like your monitor your keyboard or your mouse I do have a $150 to $200 set up that would get you started and link for that will be either in a card above me like right here or in the description below okay so with all of that being said let's get into the first part of this video the parts that we chose started off the build for our CPU we chose the Indy rising 320 200 G it is a quad-core chip from AMD that is unlocked so you can overclock it if that's something that you want to dabble in and it also comes with a pretty solid stock cooler so you don't have to buy any aftermarket cooler this is a great chip for the price for under hundred bucks to get yourself a CPU that can play pretty much any game out there at modest to decent settings and it's cheaper than the competition the i3 8100 was the other option from Intel but it's about the same performance and this one is much cheaper the 2200 G also comes with Vega the 2200 G also comes with the Vega 8 graphics integrated and although we won't be using it it's good for troubleshooting which we'll get into later on in case anything does happen to your dedicated video card the motherboard we chose is MSI's be 450m bazooka it's a marco ATX second generation arrives in the compatible motherboard with strong Ram support a solid amount of connectivity options and a solid power delivery system which makes a good for future CPU upgrades and also for overclocking the motherboard comes with an m2 slot has fourth SATA three ports and it also has a ton of fan header and chassis fan connectors as well as an RGB connection for customization later on also because it is on the am 4 socket you can up here to something like the rise in 720 700 or 2700 X in the future and this motherboard should be OK for an upgrade at that big on top of that with the new rising rumors going around you could be able to upgrade to something even better such as the rumored 12 for 10 or 12 core rise and chips in the future to the RAM rehab is G skills 2 by 4 gigabyte module for a total of 8 gigs of DDR 4 memory clocked at 2400 megahertz out of the box for this build you can be a little bit more lenient with the RAM I would say just get the cheapest 2x4 that's very important make sure you get two sticks for a total of 8 gigs of RAM clocked at at least 24 hundred megahertz later on in this video I will overclock the scram 220 666 which really should be the minimum for any gaming computer out there but for starters go with 2400 if that's all you can afford the computer will work fine with 21 33 or 2400 but for the extra dollar - it's totally worth it just to have that compatibility out of the box while 8 gigs of RAM is starting to show its age it's definitely still more than enough for a lot of entry-level and some Triple A games out there and with this motherboard which is expandable up to 32 gigs total and all four slots you can upgrade in the future and now for arguably the most important component of your computer system for gaming we have the video card chose the AMD rx 574 gigabyte model as of recording this video the args 578 is probably the best budget card out there especially for your money it's so well valued considering that it's under 150 bucks and it gives you awesome performance at 1080p four gigs of ram is definitely going to be enough for the next few years for pretty much any kind of mainstream 1080p gaming so you don't have to worry there the model I have for this video is the gigabyte a oars which goes for about a hundred and forty nine dollars but similar to the RAM you can be a little bit lean in here just go for the cheapest duel fan try to go through two fans otherwise it's gonna run kind of hot model that you can find and that fits inside of your budget and awesome perk about picking up one of these carts is that it does come with two free games so even if you don't have any money for any Steam games you get two free when you build this computer a bonus of picking up one of these rx cards is that you get two free games so it's a win-win situation as far as storage is concerned you have several different options here the one that we're using for this video is a 128 gigabyte inland SSD and a one terabyte 7200 rpm hard drive SSD prices nowadays are dirt cheap and SSDs can really make a computer feel a lot snappy or they're much faster than hard drives and they don't have any spinning parts so it makes them last a little bit longer than your standard hard drive and it makes you build a lot quieter 120 gigabyte SSD is going to be used for our Windows operating system and any of your frequently used apps and games and then the one terabyte drive is going to be used for any games that are too big to fit on the SSD or any other kind of storage or media the other option which we will not use in this video is to get a 2 terabyte 5400 or 7200 rpm hard drive you are losing a lot of quickness and snappiness without having an SST in the build but you also double the storage effectively so it's up to you do you care more about how fast your computer feels while using it how fast your apps open up or do you care more about having more programs to run and lastly the case which is kind of hard to recommend because different builders have different priorities for the case but we chose the coolermaster q 300 l this is a micro ATX mini tower so it can only fit micro ATX motherboards keep that in mind that goes for about $40 the reasons why we chose this case one the airflow is really good too it has a lot of space in the back for cable management which will be needed consider we are using a cheaper power supply without any kind of modularity and three it has a nice design there are downsides to the case like it only supports 13.5 Drive and to 2.5 drives but at the same time it also supports full land video cards I think that's a worthy sacrifice for everything else you get the power supply that we're using for this build which I forgot to put on the table is the 450 BV BT or B are from EVGA with the bt being at the highest quality of all three but any of them will work fine for these components for only $30 which is about the maximum that I would pay for this kind of quality you do get yourself a power supply with 80 plus bronze certification so you are saving some energy and although it's not modular it does work well with our case because of all of the space behind the case that allows for you to hide all of those cables and keep it out of sight and out of mind and the optional case fan that we have is the thermal take ring 12 it is a 120 millimeter LED blue LED fan it works pretty well it's pretty quiet and you can get it for around 10 to 15 dollars we're going to use this fan as our front intake fan and you only really need one considering how great the airflow is in the cooler master q 300 now now that you guys have seen all of the parts let's get right into building the computer [Music] hmm cool so you guys are ready to build your first computer again if you go to the odd Sox Harvard website there is an in-depth article that relates to this video you can check it out for reference if you get lost or if you just want more information now there are a few tools that you'll need to build a computer the first one is a number one Phillips screwdriver these things are dirt cheap five bucks or so at Home Depot or whatever vendor you want I'm a little bit bougie so I have a whole screwdriver set but these things are also pretty cheap it's about ten bucks at Walmart the second thing that you might need is some kind of knife or box opening device you're gonna have to open a lot of boxes and they will be taped up and you could mess a few things up if you try to use your fingers or just kind of have a knife or box cutter Andy third thing that isn't necessary but is more of a precaution is an anti-static wrist strap if you don't have one that's fine these are just used to ground yourself so you don't shock your components now modern components are built with pretty strong static protection systems so it will take a lot of static electricity to actually shock them and break them basically all you have to do is before you install any component inside of your computer just touch a conductive metal piece of something around you so like the tip of your screwdriver that works just fine touch that and saw what you need and keep going on with your life disclaimer do not use any of your components to ground yourself should kind of go without saying but it probably won't end well all right cool so now we're ready to officially start building the computer so the motherboard is going to come with a few accessories outside of the motherboard itself but just take out the motherboard for now it's going to be inside of this anti-static film take it out of the film leave the box where it is because we're gonna be using that as almost kind of like our surface for building cool after you get your motherboard out you're going to install the CPU so grab your CPU box we have the risin 320 200 G the one and only right here you're gonna want to open it up with your box cutter knife I've already used the CPU before so it's already open and you're gonna take out the CPU from the side right here you can put the box back we will be needing it later but for now just take out the CPU before we take the CPU out of its little box you're gonna want to lift up this lever as you can see right here this little metal lever the best way to do it is to get it from the tip you're going to pull back towards you and then it should automatically lift up as so so I'm gonna do that one more time I'm gonna get the tip that sounds dirty but whatever you're gonna pull it backwards towards you and then you're gonna just lift it up now it's ready to accept the CPU now we're officially ready to install the CPU into the motherboard orientation is important here you need to line up this little gold triangle with the small triangle on the socket of the motherboard and I'll give you guys a close-up so you guys can get a better idea of what that looks like that's one way of doing it another way of doing it is with rice and chips and AMD motherboards the Rison logo is always going to be at the top of the socket and the top of the socket is this small Ridge right here it should say socket am for the Rison logo will be in the same orientation as the socket right here so once you have everything lined up properly all you have to do is place it in the socket it should literally fall and no force is needed at all if you're using force here stop because you will break pins after that you're going to take the lever you're gonna pull it down straight down and it should just lock into place and you have your CPU installed next we install the CPU cooler if you're using the stock cooler which I'm assuming you are because the bill did not have any aftermarket coolers you need to unscrew these four screws that hold these two clips together so take your phillips screwdriver and make sure you get that out of the way after they're unscrewed put them back in the motherboard box just so you don't lose them any happen for later cool after that you are ready to take out the CPU cooler from your CPU box and you are ready to install it an important part of installing your CPU cooler is making sure you have thermal paste your CPU cooler on the back should have thermal paste pre-installed if you've never used it before of course I have used this riser 320 200 G for reviews and stuff so I do not have any thermal paste pre-installed it's already used up since you guys are buying this completely brand-new you will already have their own paste installed so you can completely skip this step if you do not have any thermal paste installed or if you're using an aftermarket cooler then you will need some aftermarket thermal paste I have some Arctic mx4 I'm going to apply that directly to the CPU lid now the application of thermal paste is a very polarizing topic in the computer world but any kind of application should be ok just make sure you put about a pea-sized drop directly in the center that should be good and that's pretty much it now we are officially ready to install the CPU cooler again if you have never opened up the CPU box before then you will have thermal paste pre-installed here and you do not have to do this step so now I'm going to line up the screws of the CPU cooler with the screw holes on the backplate of the motherboard there we go and I'm making sure that this little Ridge right here at the AMD logos facing this way so I'm not blocking any of my DIMM slots on the right after you do that grab your screw driver and screw these in in an axe pattern it's okay if you have to apply a little bit of force [Music] now that that's screwed in take this header right here and plug it into the CPU fan header that should be at the top of your motherboard go and there we go just to give everyone in a closer look that is the CPU fan header in case you couldn't see it from all the way down there after that we are going to install our RAM or memory before we do that make sure you open the DIMM slots by pulling back on these top levers right here although we are only going to use two of the slots just pull back on all four you can always put them back alright so now we're going to open up our RAM slash memory and put the box with your other boxes when installing memory you want to make sure you put the sticks in the same colored slots so I want to make sure I put these two six and I think the white slots or the black slots it doesn't matter which one just make sure they are the same color this allows the memory to run in dual channel which is theoretically double the throughput of running in single channel you don't want that install in memory is pretty simple you will have a notch on the RAM right here that will line up with one of the notches on the DIMM slot now if you don't want to sit there and make sure that it's angled correctly you can also look at where the label of the memory is and you can make sure it's facing it towards the CPU cooler that pretty much guarantees that it's facing the right direction so after you do that just slide it into the DIMM slots and then push down on both ends until it clicks into place awesome so now we have most of the main components installed in the motherboard and now is where I recommend that you test out the motherboard and all of its components installed with your power supply to make sure that everything is running properly this is optional but it also reduces headaches in the future in case something doesn't go quite right when you first turn on the computer this ensures that all of your carrot components installed are working awesome so now we have most of the main components installed in the motherboard and now is where I recommend that you test out the motherboard and all of its components installed with your power supply to make sure that everything is running properly this is optional but it also reduces headaches in the future in case something doesn't go right right when you first turn on the computer this ensures that all of your carrot components installed are working for this section make sure your by an outlet and you have your monitor ready as well as an HDMI cable or a DVI D cable so now you're going to grab your power supply which is the EVGA 450 the rbv or bt depending on the one that you bought make sure you unbox it and put the box somewhere with your other boxes now that your power supplies on box are going to plug in two different cables from the power supply into the motherboard so one of them is going to be the ATX motherboard 24 pin cable and the other one if I can find it is going to be the CPU eight pin or 4 by 4 pin cable it is right here and in case you don't know what these look like they will have labels on them like this one says twenty plus four for the ATX motherboard and then this one says CPU and CPU this is what the motherboard 24 pin cable looks like as you can see there's the 20 and the 4 pin they will be separated basically all you have to do is you have to take the 4 pin I should have these two notches on either side of it you're gonna connect it to the 20 pin basically you're gonna pull up the 4 pin push it into this 20 pin and then pull it down and it should connect like that and then after that you are going to face it the clip this part right here you're gonna face it away from the RAM and the CPU cooler and you're gonna plug it in to the motherboard right here it's a little bit stiff but just keep pushing down until you hear click or you may not hear a click but just push down until it goes all the way in so the second cable that we're going to install is the CPU pin it's going to be two four pins for a total of eight you don't have to clip them together just put them right next to each other and then you're going to install them onto the CPU a pin connector on the motherboard at the top left these clips right here these clips are going to be facing away from the motherboard so downwards like that just plug them in and you're good so now that the power supply cables are installed make sure your monitor is plugged in take whatever cable that you're using from your monitor such as an HDMI or DVI D cable those are the only two that are compatible with the motherboard and plug it into the respective plug on the left side of the motherboard and use an HDMI so I'm going to plug it into the HDMI port right here after that take the power cable that came with your power supply plug it in and make sure the power supply is on by flipping the switch at the back now everything is currently on the motherboard is receiving power so try not to touch anything metal that's connected to the motherboard so what do we do from here how do you turn on the computer there is no power button well there are actually pins down here where if you short them then it will receive power and you'll be able to see something hopefully on your monitor meaning that everything is working now I'll give you guys a closer look to so you can see exactly which pins I'm talking about basically you're going to use your Phillips screwdriver and you are going to touch the two pins that correspond to the power switch and I'll give you guys a demonstration right now and hopefully once we do that everything will be up and running and you'll get something on your monitor so right here should be these two pins according to the guide so as you guys can see I'm sure from our monitor there's the beauty so now that you confirmed that everything so far is working properly you can turn off the computer whoops to I mean so okay oh my gosh now that you've confirmed that everything is working it properly you can turn off the computer just by flipping the switch back here or by holding it down the power switch pins with your screwdriver for a few seconds and then it should turn off after that unplug everything actually first after that make sure that your power supply is turned off and unplugged and then once that's done wait a couple of seconds probably around five or six and then unplug everything from the motherboard and plug this when you're unplugging power supply cables from the motherboard they're going to be a little flops push down at the tip of the flaps and then pull up they should just come out the ATX one for the motherboard itself it's going to be a little bit tough you are gonna have to use a little bit of force and that's okay then after that you're all set now that the current parts are tested and you know that they're working we are ready to start prepping the to install into our case so unbox your computer case and take off both side panels take off both side panels usually cases like this have thumbscrews but you can still use your screwdriver to unscrew them or loosen them up and then you can unscrew the rest using your fingers make sure the case is facing this way and we're ready to get started also there will be protected film around the case and on your side panel I will leave that on until the very end just so you prevent scratches or anything else from happening once you're done with the build you can peel it off and it'll be very satisfying it's almost like the cherry on top now you will see that the case comes with a ton of cables which we will use in route later and it also comes with zip ties and a few other goodies that are actually pretty useful and will help with cable management so basically these two packets you can take out of the case and put them to the side and dump them over there and these cables we will worry about briefly so now we're ready to prep to install the motherboard now we can't just take the motherboard and install it directly inside of the case because the metal of the motherboard will touch the metal of the case and that can short things out so we're gonna install these things called standoffs and it's pretty self-explanatory they're non conductive metal or classic components that rise up the motherboard so the PCB of this doesn't touch the metal backing of that and standoffs are included with the case they were in that little baggie that was installed right here and we kind of threw off to the side but before you do that you want to make sure you line up the motherboard correctly so you see exactly where you have to install the standoffs so you're gonna place it down here make sure that this part which is the i/o region is facing outward and is in this little gap right here gonna kind of push it over and kind of feel and see where the standoffs are gonna go so some of them are already pre-installed like this one right here is already pre-installed and this one right here is really pre-installed and those are kind of like guides to help you figure out exactly where you need to install your standoffs so where we need to put them we're gonna have these little circular holes in the motherboard so these two already there so we're good there so we need one right here on the top left second one the top right third one middle right fourth one actually we're good right there I believe we need a fourth one at the bottom and then we need a fifth one on bottom left and then a fifth one sixth one or is that ready for installed I think that's already pre-installed so we need like five to six standoffs this is kind of hard to see but that is that's what it looks like and I dropped it so you can screw standoffs directly in to the little holes on the case but this case actually comes with a standoff screw which is pretty neat because these Sandoz can get stuck super super easily and that's very annoying so what you can do is you can put the standoff inside of the little screw thin right here this is compatible with a phillips screwdriver so you're going to just do that just that's what it looks like and then you were going to screw it in to all of the locations that we mentioned previously [Music] [Music] all right so that's one then you just kind of keep going I hope you get the gist another way that you can make sure that you are putting the standoffs in the correct location we know that our motherboard form factor is micro ATX every single place that you see a little em install a standoff there that stands for micro and micro ATX so of course that's where the standoffs will go so now that you have all of your standoffs installed the next thing that we want to install is the motherboard IO shield now this is going to come with the motherboard so we're gonna get our motherboard box should be somewhere under Neath all of this annoying cardboard and it's this piece of metal right here so the i/o shield does exactly what you would think it shields the i/o ports on the board so what we want to do here is you want to make sure it's lined up properly with the motherboard so let's grab that just to demonstrate for you guys so this is the i/o shield so what you want to do is you want to make sure that it's properly lined up with the motherboard just like that yep so that looks like a pretty good fit so after you make sure that that's done it's going to be oriented this way so the motherboard I'll shield is gonna be facing it this direction and to install it to install the i/o shield all we have to do is put it against the little ridge the hole right here inside of the case there should be an empty slot so you can see my finger running through I'm just gonna line it up and you're gonna push against the i/o shield in an X pattern so grab the two corners any two corners that are diagonal to each other push in until you hear a soft click and do the same with the other corners also watch out the i/o shield is sharp there's definitely been blood and for me trans and saw IO shields but yes that's pretty much it this one is installed and now we are finally ready to install the motherboard so these are the types of screws that we are going to use to screen the motherboard you should have 12 of them and they are the type C according to your case manual they come with the case so now you can grab your motherboard make sure you ground yourself first it's shocking yeah take your motherboard you're gonna line it up with the i/o shield and the standoffs [Music] there we go just like that and then you're gonna take these screws and screw them in you don't want to screw them too tightly otherwise you might strip either the stand off or the screws now that the motherboard is installed the next thing we're going to do is install any case fans that we have so for this video we have the thermaltake ringing 12 it does have an LED blue light and it's going to be our front intake fan now case fans are not necessary for the build and this case actually comes with one rear exhaust 120 millimeter fan which will be perfectly fine for this computer this case fan will just add a little more extra airflow into the case and cause temperatures to drop a tiny bit but again if you don't have one it's not the end of the world your computer will run just fine since we want to install the fan in the front of the case we do have to remove this front panel connector because it's in the way so take your phillips screwdriver and just unscrew these screws at the top and the bottom of the front panel connector just to move them out of the way make sure you don't lose the screws because you will be needing them to screw it back in [Music] [Music] [Music] there are also two screws at the front that you need to unscrew as well after you do that it's literally just like slide right off after that son make sure you open up your case fan it will come with the fan itself a few screws that we will need to install it and a manual you can put the manual and any other accessories - the screws away so this is the case fan itself this is going to be an intake fan at the front and air is gonna blow through this way air can only go through one way on the fan and it's gonna go through here and since we want the air to come in from the front we are going to install it with the Thermaltake logo facing away from the rest of the components the fan we're installing will be plugged into one of the fan headers on the motherboard just from a quick inspection I see that we have a fan header above the PCIe slot and I see that we have another fan header down at the bottom left corner of the motherboard now we do have a rear fan installed and I can already tell you that this is probably going to go best plugged into the fan header above the PCIe slot so the blue fan that we're about to install should go to the one that's what at the bottom left of the motherboard so just be sure that the length of the cable can route from where you want to install it and I already checked that and it's going to be fine so after that we can begin installing it so I'm going to turn the case on its front just so you guys can see it I'm gonna make sure that the thermaltake logo is facing towards me so that means that air is being pulled in I'm gonna line it up about where I had it before so I will say all right there's good I'm gonna take the cable and I'm gonna route it through one of the holes on the side of the case so there are two big rectangular holes right here I'm gonna route this cable through here I'm going to line it up just like this with these four holes and after I've lined it up I'm going to take the screws that came with the fan and I'm going to screw them in to each of these four holes after you've screwed in the fan you're going to take the fan cable that you route it through the side of the case and you're going to put it through this hole right here and that should correspond to the system fan header at the bottom left of the motherboard you're just gonna plug it in right here awesome so now your system fan is installed once you're done take your front panel header line up these little well that totally just broke off but that's okay you're gonna line up these little rivets right here with the holes it should lock into place and you're going to take your screws and screw it back in [Music] remember to screw in all four screws after that son we are going to plug in all of the connectors from the front panel so this one right here the big black one this is your USB 3 port and it's going to plug into the J USB 3 header that you see right here at the bottom right of the motherboard for that you're gonna take the cable that says HD audio this can also say AC 97 they're essentially the same thing for all intents and purposes and you're gonna plug it into the J audio one at the bottom left or if your motherboard right here so you're gonna take this and actually let's reroute this cable because I don't want it to stretch all the way across I'm gonna route at the same way that we routed the fan cable here awesome now let's turn it around and stuff though but that's ok we're gonna plug it in right and the last front panel part is the actual buttons like the power button the reset button the ends of that sword and this is probably the most annoying part of the entire build especially for first-time builders these power connectors right here you have to connect them to the proper pins under jf p1 this set of pins I'm circling right here and I'm gonna have a blown-up diagram and get a little bit closer to the pin so you guys can get a better idea of where to put which part but if you ever get lost you can always check your manual and also this motherboard is really awesome and a lot of modern while the boards are like this there's also little guides right here they tell you exactly where each one of these pins go so if you follow this properly it's it's really not very difficult it looks kind of hard you will be able to plug these in correctly so we're gonna do that and that is everything plugged in now again I'm sorry there's no good way to show how to do this and although these pins are pretty Universal in their order for all kinds of motherboards it's best just that you check the manual and line up each of the for each of the headers with each of the pins after that we are going to install our storage devices the first one being the SSD now there are two parts that you will need in order to install the SSD in the q 300 l and they come with the case screws the first one is part II it's a rubbery type of component and the second one is just a screw that will go inside of the rubbery component just like that so take your SSD out of its box and make sure that it's facing up with the screws the four screws at each corner visible to you so you're going to take the rubbery part part II let me take the screw out and you're gonna make sure that the smaller circle is on top and the bigger circle is at the bottom place it at one of the four corners and then you're going to take your screw put it inside each of the holes and then screw it in to the hole located on top of the SSD do that for each of the four corners and then you'll be ready to install it and put it on the case [Music] alright let me just stop it there now that your SSD is prepped and ready to go you're basically going to make sure that these connections the SATA connections are facing the center of the case after that you're going to flip it over and you're going to make sure that the screw lines up with each each of these screws the four corners line up with each of the large circles located right here on the case so after you do that should be relatively simple after that you're going to slide it to the left you're going to use a little bit of force and that should lock it in place the first step to install on the hard drive we are going to unscrew the hard drive bay located right here and after that make sure you take your hard drive out of its box if you haven't already now don't completely take off the hard drive bay yet because there's a quick and easy way to make sure that you install it in the correct orientation the hard drive is going to end up if I can get these cables out of the way it's going to end up sitting just like this so what you want to do is put your hard drive this way I will just slide it over a little bit and then I would pull out the hard drive there and since the hard drive is going to be on top of the hard drive bay you're gonna flip it like that turn it over after that you're gonna line up the screw holes of the bay with the holes of the hard drive and then you're going to use the same screws type-c they used to screw in your motherboard put this Bay and hard drive after the hard drive is completely screwed in then put it back inside of the case the way that you initially saw it [Music] awesome now your storage devices are fully installed well not fully just yet but close enough let me redo that part oh my gosh cool now your hard drives and your SSDs are installed alright guys so we are so close to being done we just have the power supply and the graphics card left in that order so installing it at power supply is pretty simple it's only routing the cables that can get a little bit difficult but the first thing we have to do on this case is we have to remove this little power supply cover right here they're going to be four screws at the back so just unscrew those now there you have the power supply cover taken out from your case you're going to get the power supply which should already be on box if you did the testing earlier in the video and we want the fans to be facing it downward it is going to be installed at the bottom of the case and want the fans to be facing this way so the logo should be facing you you should be able to read it after you've installed the power supply so what you're going to do is you're going to turn the power supply upwards so you can see the power switch and you're going to take the power supply cover and you're gonna line it up with each of the holes each of the screw holes and the power supply so there's a screw hole as you can see there is one screw hole right here there's another one over here there's one right here and the last fourth one is over here and the same screws that you used to install your motherboard it'll be the same screws that you used to turn to install this power supply cover [Music] [Music] out of motherboard screws once you have the cover installed you are going to make sure the labels facing you you're going to put it at the bottom of the case watch out for all the wires they've previously installed and gently slide it gently slide it into the bottom all right and then after that just make sure you screw in the remaining four holes at the back now we're going to route all of our cables do some very basic cable management and plug everything in before we install the final component our graphics card so as you can see there are a crap-ton of wires and because this is not a modular power supply we have to use all of them well we don't have to plug in all of them but we have to keep all of them connected to the power supply thankfully the cue 300l does have a pretty open back so we can just stuff a lot of these back there so what I'm going to do is I'm going to group all of these wires together and I'm going to route them through this big hole right here you can see let me see if you guys yeah that's one right here [Music] so now that we've done that we have all of our cables through the big hole we are ready to route and start plugging stuff in so there are only four five let's see there only four different cables that we need out of the six total these two you just put put to the side so we need the the motherboard cable right here the 24 pin the 20+4 pin that's the first one that's crucial the second one is the CPU power which is the 2 to 4 pin connectors right here the third one is the PCIe connector which is used for the graphics card and then the fourth one is the SATA connectors which will be used for all of our storage devices [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and since we're ready here let's plug in their rear exhaust fan as well so remove the zip tie from it if you haven't already and then plug it into the system fan header one directly above the PCIe socket now I do like to make my cable management a little bit kind of pretty if that makes any sense so I like to wrap this wire the fan wire around the bottom edge of the fan and then kind of around the shroud of the VRM heatsink and then I'll plug it in that way the wire is a little bit less noticeable and it gives you a slightly cleaner look next up we're gonna finish the hard drive connections at the back so the first thing that we're going to do actually is we're going to go into my motherboard box and we're gonna pull out the SATA cables that came with it each new motherboard should come with at least two SATA cables and this one is no different and each storage device deserves at least one SATA cable at least an SSD that's not through it MDOT to slot and a standard hard drive this is what a SATA cable looks like as you can see it has an l-shaped connection one end will go directly into the motherboard and another end will go directly into the storage device so at the bottom of each storage device right here on the SSD and right down here on the hard drive you will see a small l-shaped port plug in one end of the SATA cable into each of the ports [Music] [Music] to the motherboard I rather the SATA cables through the same hole as my motherboard ATX 24 pin so right here you'll have two SATA cables or two SATA ports from your motherboard and then this block right here this black one also has two SATA ports so I'm going to use these two that are not a part of the block I'm going to plug my SSD cable directly into sattell one or the lower number SATA port and I'm going to plug my hard drive cable into SATA tube or the higher number SATA port now doesn't matter which one you plug each of the storage devices into because you can change the settings and the BIOS it's pretty simple but just for the sake of simplicity and not having to do that we can just make sure we get it done here and lastly to finish up these storage devices where you're going to take the set of power cables that actually power the devices from the power supply this Woolfolk is there we go we're going to plug them into the SSD and the hard drive again these are similar to the SATA cables the SATA data cables these are l-shaped you're just going to plug them into the l-shaped port on the SSD and also the L shape port on the hard drive this is gonna get messy but that's okay we will cable manage later and the very last thing that we need to do is install the video card now this is actually pretty straightforward and simple take out your video card here's the gigabyte a or SRX 570 and what you want to do is you want to similar to when we first install the motherboard you want to kind of line up the video card with the PCIe slot and check and see which IO slots on the left side of the case need to come out in order for the video cards to fit so if you do that you will see that the first two IO slots and I'll give you guys a closer up so you know exactly what I'm talking about need to be removed in order for these slots right here on the video card to be sticking out of the case and now we can install the video card so take your video card make sure that the fan is facing downwards towards the power supply this is very very important otherwise the PCIe slot right here will not match the PCIe slot on the motherboard you see how there's a little notch right here yeah yeah yeah you see that yeah so those things should match so all you have to do after that is you have to line it up haha make sure that it's all the way pushed to the edge of the case so the i/o slots are hitting the metal side of the case make sure that the lines and the notches and the PCIe slots on the card and on the motherboard are lined up and then after that it should kind of fall into place but you have to push it down and to make sure that it locks in there you go so after you do that the white flap right here should actually move a little bit to the left so this is it when it's unlocked it should be down like that once it's locked it should be all the way in just like that the last thing we have to do is plug in the video card to the power supply so as you can see this is the PCIe cable from the power supply and this video card uses eight pins this PCIe cable has six pins and then an extra two pin so similar to what we did with the motherboard power connector you're just going to connect the six pin to the eight pin you're going to have the PCIe logo facing you and then you're going to have it face away from you and then you're going to plug it straight and and there you go guys you've literally built your very first gaming computer or a second or third or how many ever you wanted to build but congratulations like it's completely built now for the moment of truth we have to plug everything in and pray that it works on the first boot so get your monitor get your keyboard get your mouse plug everything in and we're gonna see if all right so we're about ready to turn on the computer and test it a few things first of course make sure your computer's plugged in make sure the power switch is turned in the on position make sure you have your keyboard plugged in once we turn on the computer we're going to keep on tapping the Delete key on the keyboard to enter the BIOS and lastly make sure you plug in your monitor directly into your graphics card so the i/o slots on your graphics card and not on your motherboard all right so moment of truth let's see just how this works all right so that's a good sign let's keep tapping the Delete key [Music] will it turn on [Music] it's the troubleshooting time whoo okay all right so here we are with the finished build and when I went to turn on the computer I actually didn't get any display on my monitor and so I was a little bit confused because everything else was working perfectly fine when I tested it outside of the case but I didn't get any display on the monitor once I connected it to my video card and so that's when I began to troubleshoot it ended up being that my HDMI port just wasn't sending out any signal so I switched off my HDMI cable with a DVID cable and plug that into the back of my video card and it worked first time on the first boot now I was a little bit frustrated that it happened but I'm actually glad that I happened now because it kind of gives you an idea of the kind of issues that you will see when you build your first computer sometimes when you turn it on after putting all of the parts in you may not get the results that you wanted it and that's okay stay calm and just try to troubleshoot a lot of modern components like this motherboard specifically actually have easy debug LEDs right here on the side that tell you exactly which part of your setup needs to be checked that's the error that's happening now I didn't have any issues here and that's why I was a little bit frustrated but I decided to just try things out and that's exactly what happened now the computer is running just fine another good way to debug is with beep codes so you can't install the speaker right here it's the jf p2 header that's right above the front panel header and your motherboard should come with a speaker identity one in the as rugby 450 M bazooka otherwise I would have shown you guys how to install it but it's very very simple you literally just take the four pins that are on the the four pin sockets that are on the speaker and then you plug it straight into here and if you got a single beep after you turn on the computer then that means that it's posting properly and everything is working if you get any other kind of beep beep sequence or pattern then that means that something is wrong and each specific beep sequence or pattern correlates to a different device that is and properly working but besides that the computer is completely built now if you want you could literally just stuff the rest of these cables in the back close both side panels and call it a day but I do think that cable management is important you want your build to look good you want to show it off to people so let's do some cable management just to make this a little bit cleaner all right now with all of that being said the computer is pretty much finished I'm just going to use some of the zip ties that came with the case to group a lot of the cables together and make this look a little bit prettier because right now they're just cables kind of like mangled all over the place and then yeah put on the the side panels and then we'll be good to go [Music] so you have finally completed your first computer build or second or third it doesn't really matter but congratulations and nonetheless the thing looks awesome currently it's just a hunk of metal inside of another hunk of metal because we don't have any software on it so what we're gonna do in this part of the tutorial we are going to first update the BIOS if needed we're going to optimize some BIOS settings we're gonna install Windows which is completely free and then we're gonna salt all of our drivers and get ready to finally play some computer games so first things first the materials you need for part three of this tutorial you need a flash drive with at least eight gigabytes of free storage and then you'll also need an external computer or laptop that has windows reading on it so you can install the file so you need to update the BIOS and the windows ISO alright so to update our BIOS first we need to get the updated BIOS file from our motherboard manufacturers website so plug in your USB drive into your laptop or computer make sure you google the model of the motherboard that you have ours is the MSI B 450 M bazooka I'll also have the download link for the latest BIOS as of recording and uploading this video that is available so you don't have to do all the googling but go to the site make sure you download the BIOS file it should be under the support tab and you're going to extract all of the contents of the zipped folder onto your USB flash drive once that's done get your USB flash drive plug it in to your computer there we go make sure it's connected to a monitor and a keyboard and we're gonna start updating the BIOS after that turn on your computer and keep tapping the Delete key until you make it to your computer's BIOS with your peripherals and your flash drive that has the new BIOS plugged into your computer you can turn on your computer and tap the Delete key multiple times until the bio splash screen shows up cool after that take your mouse and drag the mouse over to the left where you see em flash click on that and then press yes [Music] this is the screen that you should see once you enter em flash mode you're going to open the folder that you extracted to the flash drive and then you're going to double-click on the h2o file select yes after this the BIOS will be updating it will take a few minutes to do so but don't do anything just let the computer do its business and once we come back it'll be updated so we're gonna go to advanced up here and then we're going to click on overclock now you can overclock you CPU if you want to I won't get into this for the sake of brevity in this video but we're gonna go down to DRAM frequency we're gonna select 2667 right here we're gonna click on advanced DRAM configuration we're gonna select DRAM voltage and we're gonna press the plus sign on our keyboard or you can actually type in the voltage that you want but we're gonna press the plus sign on our keyboard until we reach 1.3 volts we're gonna press f10 to save select yes and then it should restart after restart keep tapping and delete again to get back into the BIOS just so we can confirm that the memory is running at 2667 and there you go as you can see in the top middle the memory speed is at 2667 after you've updated your bios we are ready to install windows so take out the USB flash drive that you plugged in I have your BIOS file on it plug it into your external laptop we are now going to go to Microsoft's official website and download their Microsoft Windows download tool now this tool will install windows directly on to your USB so the USB will become a bootable device that you can access from your motherboards BIOS I'll have a link to the download tool in the description after you've plugged in your USB device and you've installed the download tool open it up and select your USB location after that make sure you choose that you want to make this a bootable device you do not want to install Windows on your external laptop or computer make sure it's a clean install and start the Windows installation on your USB device this is going to take approximately 20 to 40 minutes so you can go do something again until it's done after overclocking your memory we're gonna go back into the Advanced tab advanced there we go we're going to click on settings on the left click on boot we're gonna scroll down we're gonna make the first boot option UEFI USB key it should be the USB Drive that you have plugged in and we're going to make the second boot option the Windows boot manager and your first port should be the SATA SSD so click that after that we're going to save click yes and then we're gonna boot back into the BIOS so now that we've optimized our BIOS settings we are ready to install windows after you've installed windows on your USB device plug it back into your computer and restart the computer as the computer restarts keep tapping f11 so you can bring up the boot menu once you're at the boot menu make sure you choose UEFI SanDisk partition 1 or UEFI USB disk or whatever else the name over you speed discus the window splash screen should pop-up signaling that you're ready to install windows so choose the language that you want and your keyboard input method select next select Install Now now here if you bought Windows for about a hundred bucks you can put your product key here but you don't have to you can use Windows completely free and legally just like I do not have a product key now here is where you choose the amount of Windows that you want make sure it's x64 which is 64 bit and they all are home is definitely enough for what you need as a personal user but you can use pro if you want a little bit more functionality after that select next accept the Terms after this you're going to select install we are not upgrading windows we are creating a new Windows partition if you have any partitions here delete all of them because we want a clean install as you can see here we have two different drives the 111 gigabyte one is our SSD and the 930 gigabyte one is our one terabyte hard drive we want to install windows on our SSD so select the drive 0 and allocated space or which everyone is corresponding to your SSD so click new and apply click OK after that you will get a ton of partitions again these are all just for recovery and for system reserves do not install windows in any of these we want to install windows on the 111 gigabyte version so keep selecting that it should automatically default and then click Next after that windows should install this will take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes and it could restart several times so again just go do whatever you want until it's done when this part of the Windows installation comes up just follow the steps on-screen and you're pretty much set now that you have windows completely installed what we have to do now is our video card drivers so I will have the download link to the RX 578 drivers in the description but in case you do not have an rx 570 or an AMD video card you can find the drivers by going to either AMD or nvidia z' main website or to searching up the model of your video card and then drivers and then clicking on one of the links so what we're gonna do here is download the drivers on our USB drive from an external so what we're gonna do here is download the drivers onto the USB Drive using your external laptop or device we're gonna plug it into our computer and then we are going to install the drivers pretty simple and straightforward [Music] after we have our drivers installed we want to create a system restore point so this is just a precaution just in case something goes wrong we want to be able to go back to a previous time in Windows when everything was fine so go to your search bar and just search system restore and so I create a system restore plate awesome so here we're gonna click on local disk C we're gonna suck it up configure we're gonna turn on system protection max usage maybe 5 percent select apply ok and then after that click create we're gonna label this beginning that's negative beginning to create and it should create a system restore point after that press ok and you're good to go on that end sweet and the very last thing that we want to do is make sure that our one terabyte hard drive is available so right now it is being detected but it's not showing up in Windows and I'll give you guys just to look at that if we go to this PC we only see our USB drive and we see our 128 gigabyte SSD but we do have a 1 terabyte hard drive installed it's just not shown here so what we want to do is right-click on this PC you want to click on manage we want to click on disk management under storage and then we want to right-click on this disk right here the 930 gigs is our one terabyte drive as you can see it's unallocated so right click this and click new simple volume select next select next again and you can assign it whatever letter you want I'm just gonna leave it as the default e we're gonna format this as NTFS select next o you can also label this I'm gonna label this extra storage after that click finish and there you go it is now showing up right here so basically with the 120 gigabyte SSD this is where you want to put all of your quick programs that you use say you're a music developer you might want to put all of your music applications such as FL studio on your SSD and then on your storage devices you want to put your larger files that way your SSD doesn't get eaten up for space and maybe your larger games now that all of that is done you are ready to install all of your games so we're currently playing overwatch at 1080p using the Ultra preset 100% resolution scale [Music] [Music] [Music] come on come on oh no I'm such a bet here I'm such a bad healing I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I'm really bad at overwatch that's what happens when you use bots to benchmark 24/7 oh well alright so now we're playing a fortnight at 1080p using the high preset 1 below epic let's uh let's drop with salty springs I'm gonna get right into the action usually whenever I do benchmark side I dropped right by at the bottom of leaky lake or now loot lake unless they changed it again and I try to avoid as many people as possible because I do not like confrontation let's see what happens over here [Music] [Music] so she goes no I'm buns at fortnight well so that FPS seems kind of low for highs by 70 should I do it should I confront me I can see him [Music] okay yeah I'm gonna die I'm gonna die yeah I don't really have weapons [Music] how do I kill how do you kill people in this game oh my gosh oh my gosh so many people I'm totally gonna die there's where's this person actually this person's gonna can you team up no whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa you got too much a dip in your chest uh D let's go ahead on all right well I died and the last game we're gonna play is fortnight's bougie brother of G and surprisingly it's running better than fortnight at least during the drop which I did not expect at all I never thought pub G would be running as it's running right now all right again we're gonna drop in a pretty high area oh sorry the gameplay settings 1080p medium preset so let's drop or you want to good you want to go in the building the top of the building I feel like I wouldn't know how to get down if I did that so let's just go right here all right Jake a pub G is not running better than fortnight anymore it's still good enough this game is pretty CPU dependent so having a quad-core chip isn't really helping out in my case oh whoa buddy whoa whoa whoa calm down calm down oh no no why doesn't he have any club why is he naked I died I did [Music] so as you guys can see this gaming computer is solid for the price for only five hundred bucks you get yourself an entry-level machine that can play a lot of eSport titles at pretty much a maximum settings over 60fps but also some harder games like pub G with modest settings now there is something that I didn't mention in the video and that's basically internet connectivity there are a few ways you can do this one you can either get yourself a cat 6 cable they're pretty cheap under 10 bucks on Amazon and you can connect your computer straight to your router but if you're like me and your room is a few levels above your router you can't really run that cable through the house and into your computer you can get yourself either a PCI Wi-Fi adapter or a USB Wi-Fi adapter I'm currently using a USB Wi-Fi adapter on my main computer and my router is two floors below me and even then with this USB adapter I'm getting about 35 to 40 megabits per second download speed so I can link the USB adapter that I'm using it works just fine besides that that's pretty much it for this video hopefully you guys enjoyed it and you found it helpful let me know if there's anything I could improve upon you guys have any questions just put them down in the comments below and make sure you like share subscribe all of that stuff visit the ostrog hardware channel i mean not the channel the website if you need more information or if you just want to check it out besides that i'll see you guys in the next one peace [Music]
