How To Build A PC - FULL Beginners Guide + Benchmarking | Robeytech

we put out an updated 1 000 build you gave me your thoughts now we build it and put it through its paces ladies and gentlemen this is rubytek [Music] welcome to the mid-2020 step-by-step build for our 1 000 gaming and streaming pc we put the video out about a week ago for you guys to give us a bunch of your thoughts on what you thought of our latest updated 1 000 build that took in account things like the release of intel 10th gen the release of b550 and all of those different things and for the most part you guys wholeheartedly agreed with most of the parts that we chose for our 1 000 build i will say the one thing that we got the most feedback on was the 5700 xt when i'm trying to spend a thousand dollars i'm trying to make the most versatile pc you can and when you think about the 5700 xt and the lack of the invec encoder which comes with the nvidia 2060 and there or anything 1660 super and above then you can see why i went with a 1660 versus a 5700 xt now if you're going to spend a thousand dollars and you want to make the most versatile just plain up gaming build then i would absolutely have no issue whatsoever if you wanted to replace the 2060 with a 5700 xt with a small caveat that with next-gen consoles like the series x and the ps5 you're going to see a much more mainstream effort for ray tracing in your upcoming pc games and the fact is is that one thing that is lacking on the 5700 xt and where you have to think about specifically with why those pieces why those cards have a tendency less expensive is the fact that they do not support ray tracing we're waiting for the announcements from big navi and probably an updated version of the 5000 series uh amd cp amd gpus that will actually support this so that's why but beyond all that let's talk about all of the other parts and let you know like what did i update and what did i keep the same so starting at the very front at the very beginning we've got the amd ryzen 5 3600x six core 12 thread cpu for the most part i got zero feedback on choosing this particular cpu i mean it was an upgrade from our original one from a 3600 to 3600x the other thing too is right now price for dollar performance versus intel amd is still king and so to get a 3600x and to try and find a comparable intel cpu especially even in 1010 or even 9th gen just isn't possible so for the most part people are happy amd's happy everybody's happy we're using amd moving on to our motherboard we're using the asrock b550 uh phantom gaming four and i think one the comments i got on this was like hey i noticed that you've gone from x570 down to b550 and for the most part people were actually not surprised and actually pretty i don't know i'd say happy okay with the fact that we've seen this little bit of a downgrade and why well frankly with b550 you still get the use of pcie gen 4 on one of your m.2 slots and your first buy 16 slot should we have some sort of weird pcie gen 4 like super big navi card or maybe even some random chance 3000 nvidia or 4000 nvidia supports pcie gen 4 this pc will support that right out of the box which is great and at the same time you still get all of the benefits of all those benefits without the cost we're spending 124 dollars included wi-fi and for the most part you've still got the vrm support and all those other things at a really great dollar mark versus paying a little bit more for x 570 and maybe not getting all of the features we want which we did get on this motherboard which i thought was great and for the most part you guys also agreed for gpu we're using the evg8 rtx 2060 ko and not a lot of complaints there outside of the 5700 xt argument that we got a little bit earlier for the most part this is probably one of the best price per dollar performance gpus that is available this uh specifically the 2060 ko is a 2070 that uh didn't meet nvidia's standards evga bought them all and threw them in front of the 2060 ko so this thing actually hits above its weight class which is awesome and for 309 it does it for a really great price we actually have seen specifically this particular gpu and cpu combination running control at greater than 60 fps with our tx on we saw fortnite borderlands and a bunch of other games where this thing performed very very well specifically at 1080p which is right where this pc is really kind of targeted at so from a piece for a gpu and cpu combination this is a great combination for running 1080p at high frame rate gaming and we're very happy with that for ram we stuck with the g skill rip jaw 5 series at 16 gigs it's the same one we put in our original 1k and it continues to do well here the couple recommendations i did get and you're open to do it but it's going to be a little bit more expensive is the use of corsair's lpx which is a lower profile ram if you care that much about that for the most part it's not going to be an issue in terms of fitting inside of the case or anything like that but if that's an option you want to do you could do so and just pay that little bit more money uh for storage we're using the crucial p1 one terabyte 3d in nvme drive we're getting one terabyte which is more than enough storage for a pc like this it gives you lots of room to put games and at the same time you get that great super fast nvme 2 400 megabits per second read write speed that you really kind of want it's great for basically save load and not spending your entire time sitting at your seat sitting at your pc going when's it going i'm dying i'm slow you don't have to do that you you get to celebrate you can be like i'm so happy i don't know i i get really excited about fast load times and you should too uh for power supply uh we got the evga 650 watt b5 80 plus braun certified we got broad certified which is great uh plenty of power there to support anything that you needed to do with that and for the most part i don't know it's just it's hard to get excited about a power supply but like yay evga 650 watts woohoo you know it's like nobody sits there and says oh man did you see the psu and that super awesome build we originally did this we actually did the fractal design meshfyc black atx case which is a which is an absolutely really good case um it's a bit older and still one of the best airflow cases available on the market but thanks to phanteks in the release of the p500a we actually had the option of switching this particular case to the p400a which gets you rgb which already gives you a billion and a half percent better performance just because of all that rainbow awesome and now you know you know you're excited already you're probably like oh my gosh i gotta pause and just take a moment the great thing about the p400a is it's an airflow case that actually performs better than the actual fractal meshfyc and the great thing is is that it's down in the price range that we actually wanted for the fractal meshfly which made a lot of people happy so i super appreciate all of you guys who responded both on youtube and on twitter saying hey what about this and the fact that it's come down in price means that we actually made that switch so it's the one change that we did change from everything else in terms of the build so that's it guys that's our ultimate 1k mid 2020 build that we are going to build and test today on the video and like i said ideal for uh 1080p now the one thing that i will say is that this is a build guide a step-by-step build guide which means down below in the description we're going to have uh time stamps and everything that you can jump through again this isn't made to this is made for it easy for you to follow along we try to go into a lot of detail and really show you how to hook all of this stuff up and say it in kind of the lamest the lamest the layman's terms that we possibly can so don't don't be afraid to pause don't be afraid to go back and forth we try to make it really easy for you as you enjoy this step-by-step guide speaking of step by step let's go ahead and make sure that we uh let's go and make sure that we walk through what you need when in order to build a pc starting right now it's everybody's favorite part of the video ladies and gentlemen we're going to talk about all the stuff you need when you're going to build a pc both the optional and the must have a must have is i don't know maybe that's all i've been the only thing that you really absolutely need is a screwdriver and preferably magnetic main reason being is that there's going to be some places where you're going to have to do some weird like like weird flexes as you're kind of holding things sometimes and having a magnetic screwdriver and not just having your screws go everywhere is going to save you a lot of pain so screwdriver there also are things like the ifixit kit which i can never recommend enough and again we have the link to that stuff down in the description below but having a lot of different options because sometimes not even just like you'll you'll find other things where these kind of opportunities come up for smaller screw heads stuff like that specifically m.2 so doing something like this it can be overkill if you're just gonna build one pc but i would look at an ifixit kit another really really great option and then you can use it for lots of other things because these are really made to basically fix anything uh other thing that you're going to want is you want a super nice open clean surface some places preferably relatively static free i mean you can do things like jay's two cents i actually did a whole video on like building with carpet and etc but for the most part i like to i like to recommend doing some place like that's either like a kitchen floor or linoleum we also have these things like these are specifically anti-static wrist mats the way these basically work is you're going to want to stick them on your wrist and then with your psu you're going to want to take your psu out you can set that on a table and then these little clips basically connect to the fan at the top and then you can either have this on your ankle or on your wrist and that would help you from having anti-static discharge so if you do want to get one of these the ifixit kit that we have actually has one and it's included in the kit if you wanted to pick that up and then you have like a super awesome set you can be cool like the rest of us couple other options when we talk about cable management we've got the um as the verge calls them tweezers they're not tweezers i don't know where the heck they thought the tweezers was a good idea but these are actually called zip ties um zip ties are permanent ways for you to do cable management so you see later on you can actually pick these things up and then you actually have like these velcro ties these ones are asus rog a lot of times like if you bought the evga if you actually bought the power supply these actually are included with some of this stuff so you can and sometimes many cases come with zip ties so before purchasing them it might not be a bad idea to go ahead and pick up and open up your case or open up your power supply and see what they actually came with because a lot of times this is the stuff will come through it these are for cutting uh the little bits off of the end of your zip ties um just makes it really easy in terms of keeping things clean you'll see me use these quite a bit a lot and then finally you want a knife you can do a small knife but since i've upgraded and i really want to show off that have you actually got a better knife than the little tiny one that we did before knives are always good for opening up boxes opening up parts and things like that that's not a knife that's a knife now we do have a couple optional things that i like to sit there and say if you want to do it and the main reason that i'm going to kind of point some of these things out is sometimes like if you watch the henry cavill video i mean you find out that you put a part on upside down you may need things like thermal paste and in order to do thermal paste and remove the thermal paste that you you may have to replace you need things like isopropyl alcohol which is specifically 99 and some paper towels the main reason being is that thermal paste is you you do need to have thermal paste between the cpu and the aio or in this case the stock cooler and the thermal paste if you don't have it or if you have to replace it you need to like if you have to take it off you immediately need to remove it and replace it yourself so having this optionally it's pretty inexpensive just to have on hand because the one thing is you know how you know how murphy's law is the final thing is clorox wipes or goo gone specifically is some cases like they actually will put things like as you're doing peels or they'll stick stickers on the tempered glass this is actually what we like to do removing the gooeys i really don't like gooeys this allows you to kind of keep things cleaned off and wipe off the gooeys etc and then just keep your workspace clear in general and then you are seeing here even though i have a i have them um this one like this is these are anti-static mats or big build mats just nice clean surfaces um the one thing that's nice about this is that like when you stick things like versus on a glass table or stuff like that some of the parts and things that are on uh the back of motherboards can actually cause scratching and gouging so having something on uh your table or whatever to keep that from happening like a mat like this or like an oversized mouse pad can be nice and just protect your furniture as you're you're building on there so that's all the parts that you could need and should need should you decide to build a pc like what we're going to be doing here today okay so first up ladies and gentlemen is our asrock phantom gaming b550 so what you want to do from here is you just want to open up the box we'll walk through real quick what are the things that you want to keep and just walk you through what's in the box so first and foremost we've got our i o shield this is going to go in we'll show you a little bit later where this is but you do want to keep this you are going to need that out this is your manual or as we like to call it your guide i am not afraid to read manuals you should not be afraid to read manuals there are going to be things in here when we talk about hooking up front panel connectors given we're only using two sticks of ram that you are going to need this just to reference i will guide you through this when we get to those parts but again always save your manual it's got good information and you'll want to do that from here and then also make sure you thumb through the pages because sometimes you end up with something like this this is actually an m.2 screw it's very very tiny like very very tiny and sometimes these things do get lost so make sure you thumb through your manual make sure this is going in there because we actually do need this to do an installation a little later on so this is your m.2 screw so we'll stick that off to the side um these this is your sata cable we're not going to use these we don't actually have anything that we've installed but again if you had an additional hard drive if you've got like an additional physical hard drive or a ss an additional ssd these are what you're going to use to attach those and we have plenty of videos that we can show you in terms of doing that a little bit later on so that's what you're going to need out of the box so far oh and then this right here is actually um there's two of these these are actually your wi-fi antennas so that's what this actually is and we can show you a little later on in terms of where these go but that's that's what this is in terms of everything that's in the box there's our second one right there so there's our second wi-fi antenna and there we go so let's open that up and one thing i will say guys just as an fyi when you have something like this you do want to save the box a great thing to do is actually just to remove the extra bit out of it and then use this to store all of the extra pieces that you're going to need because later on should you need something or should you return the motherboard you have the box and then you have a safe place to store everything so this is our motherboard so i'm just going to take you on a quick tour of everything on here so you get a good idea this is again if you want additional information on this you can actually look in your manual uh but i just want to give you give you a quick rundown so you basically can can know a little bit more up here in the top left this is your cpu's eps power connector um you have a four pin and you have an eight pin the eight pin this is the one that you're going to have to plug in to power up your cpu this is the thing that particularly gives you power to your socket this one right here is a four pin this is for what's called uh like heavy overclocking so or called ln overclocking ln stands for liquid nitrogen um so if you were going to do extreme overclocking that's what this is basically for these little boxes over here these are your this is your vrm or and this is specifically for doing things like handling the phase power that goes to your am4 socket which is this right here am4 socket is where you're gonna install your cpu uh in this particular case am4 has been around for a while and it will continue to move forward from here this is where we're actually going to stick our cpu and these two things on top of it are the brackets where we're going to install our cooler if you're installing an aio later on you'll see these get removed but that's particularly what's here right here these are the dim slots for your memory and there are actually four of them uh these this particular motherboard supports dual channels so we're actually going to these a this one and this one or what's called a1 and a2 is one channel and then b1 and b2 is the second channel um in our motherboard it should we're only installing two dimms we have to care about specifically where we actually install our uh memory dimms in this case we're installing it into a2 and b2 but some cases it's always good to check at your motherboard your motherboard book just to verify that that's actually correct right here in the top right is actually what are called these are rgb connectors we've got an addressable and a non-addressable that's what's here these right here this is called a fan header this is actually where we're gonna this is specifically the cpu fan header and the key the critical thing about this is this is where we're actually gonna connect our cpu fan uh we've also got another fan header up here this right here this is actually your uh your atx power this is what powers your motherboard this is a usb 3.0 uh connector right here these are sata connectors these are your um this is actually when we talk about those sata cables we showed you a little later these are actually where you're going to install those should we have an additional thing this one actually supports four and then down here in the bottom we'll talk about these connectors this is your front panel connector again you've got another fan header these are usb2 these are also fan headers again a couple more rgb both addressable and non-addressable this is um and this is your hd audio and then uh up here on the back uh we also sorry we have an m.2 which is for where we're going to install our uh where we're going to install our hard drive or m.2 and remember this only has a single m.2 slot so that's all we have here and then over here just to walk you through real quick this is your back panel so you've got a ps2 you've got one two three four five six usb three you've got a single lan this is audio and then this is wi-fi and then this is an hdmi which you will not worry about at all but this is where you're actually gonna stick those two wi-fi antennas that i actually showed you earlier on right there so that's a nice overview of the motherboard let's go ahead and talk about installing your cpu next so here is our ryzen 5 3600 x right here all you're going to do is you're going to pull from the top and pop it out like that now when you grab the cpu you're going to want to grab from the side you're trying not to touch the top so this part right here is called the ihs and at the bottom we've got the pins now if you watch my live show a lot of people like to hear me talk about my pins you don't want to touch the pins you don't want to lick the pins licking the pins is bad you also don't want to do things like comb hamsters with them make a zen garden with it there's all sorts of things you really much do not want to do in the bottom right hand corner you'll see a little arrow that little arrow aligns with this little arrow right here on the motherboard now what you're going to do is you're going to go ahead and pull this to a 90 degree angle like so what you're going to do is you're going to the way that you know that you're actually installing this right is that ryzen actually has a vertical uh orientation like so you're just going to drop it down you're going to set it in you can shake it a little bit so you can wiggle it just a little bit just like that and just gonna go ahead and lock it in just like that and there you go you've installed your cpu okay so next up guys we're going to install our stock cooler this actually comes in the box for your uh 3500x now just walking you through this part this is actually your stock cooler at the very bottom right here you can actually see it's actually got thermal paste already installed uh what we're going to do to install this is we're just going to stick it off to the side and then this is the little thing that you're going to use for connecting it to your cpu fan so once you take that out of the box what you're going to use you're going to take your screwdriver and then what we're going to do is we're going to remove these brackets and that means taking off all four of these screws so just starting down here in the bottom left i'm just going to go ahead and unscrew that and they should come out pretty easily okay so once you have that off again don't lift the motherboard there's actually a bracket behind here so once you have that off don't lift the motherboard what you're going to do now is you're going to take this and you're going to stick it on each one of these little screws is going to line up with each one of these on here so you're just going to stick it on nicely like so like that and then you're going to slowly start the screwing down process now you got to push kind of hard to get it started and once you have it started what you're going to do is you're going to switch to another one in the top i usually go like opposite sides like that and then slowly kind of rotate your round you don't want to tighten one all the way down you want to just slowly make your way around doing a little bit of a turn well that just took off the whole screw you're just doing a little bit of a turn on each one so keep rotating around that sound is normal you're not breaking anything it's like the worst sound in the world hey want to hear the most annoying sound in the world then you basically want to screw with confidence and until screw with confidence until you can't screw anymore and then what you do is you see this little connector right here this is going to connect into that little attachment right there in the top left just like that now last little bit if you want to have the option what i always do just to make sure it's good is i'm going to rotate this around like so like that and then what i do is i i will put this together like this and then i'll zip tie it just to keep it looking clean and again these are just little robitec things that i like to do sometimes if you just want to be a messy person like brian you don't have to do this but then again who wants to be like brian nobody y'all say that so now our cpu cooler is installed look at that it's so pretty mine doesn't have any keywords now let's talk about installing the ram this always sounds better when you say it like that we talk about installing ram again remember we're going to activate dual channel ram so there's specific slots that you would install this into in this case we want to install it in b2 and a2 okay so this is a2 and this is b2 so what you'll see is right here there's a little slot in what's called the pcb pcb stands for printed circuit board what you want to do is you want to line that little slot with the little slot on the board like so and then you're just going to slide it in like that you're going to press down and you'll hear a very very awesome click oh was that good for you like it was for me that's right it's enough out of you mcmahon i've had better okay same thing with this one you just want to line it up just like so kind of pop it in next up ladies and gentlemen get excited because it's time for the m.2 install okay so we're going to open up our m.2 now i talked about early on that you need this uber uber uber tiny screw you want to show you there's that uber tiny screw and it was hidden inside of the book okay we're hidden inside the book so you're going to need this and you're going to need your m.2. now m.2s are interesting because they a lot of people are used to old-school hard drives but they they look very different so here we go we got our little m.2 they look like little diving boards so what we're going to do is open that up and again right here in the hyper m.2 slot you can see there's a little slot right here in the pcb just like this and what you're going to do is you're going to line that with a little slot right here so you're just going to push it in just like that and the way that you're in you're going to hear a nice satisfying click and it kind of works like a uh like a like a diving board so if like this was our little diving board guy right he could be like and then he swims away and he goes to an island out here and then okay i'm getting distracted okay so what we're gonna do is we're gonna grab it and now the thing about the m.2 and this is when i talked about sometimes having that ifixit or a multiple head like this is that sometimes you need the smaller screwdriver heads because of how just absolutely i mean i'm just gonna show you like this i'm gonna put in my hand i'm gonna let uh brian zoom in on that you just see how absolutely tiny that screw is and so this is where magnetic comes in handy because you can just stick it on a magnetic screw like that it's just like that and then what we're going to do is we're going to line it up like this and then just going to slowly put it in like that so there we go and now our m.2 is installed okay so this is our fantex p400a uh what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and prep the case but just kind of walking you through here what we have on here so we've got two usb 3 we've also got a headphone jack and we've got a microphone jack so when we talk about this being just an absolutely awesome airflow case so again mesh front with no additional mesh which means we have good airflow all the way through we've got tempered glass on the front in terms of being able to see the components we've got a complete psu shroud but what we're going to do right now is we're going to go ahead and take the front panel off the way you're going to do this is you're just going to use these four little screws right here and take these off then very carefully because it's glass still it's going to remove and then set it off to the side sometimes the best thing is to put it inside of the box if you want to or just set it off some place where your kid won't kick it or you don't get attacked by dragons is another potential thing that we've lost a lot of we've lost a lot of tempered glass to so someplace dragon safe is always a good thing at the top just to save yourself from bending or whatever it was i like to remove all of the mesh like this and just get those out of the way just so they're not going to get stepped on i would say don't stick them on top of your motherboard just sticking them off to the side so they're nice and safe and then finally here in the back we're just going to go ahead and unscrew these two these are what are called captive screws when you say captive that means they will they stay in the slot even though they're all the way unscrewed and you're just going to basically pull and then push out like so let's we'll go and walk through what you kind of see in here what you've got this is kind of the the stock setting for this these are all your front panel connectors what i'm going to do here is i'm going to go ahead and pull all of this stuff through like this so it's just out of the way so again you're keeping it really clear right here on the top this right here this is actually a removable panel so should you add like a radiator or a 360 aio this allows you the opportunity to do that so this is either removable or you can keep it on here just to keep it looking nice and hiding things from underneath these are uh for doing things like cable mat or like for running cables for your motherboard and then these are all mount slots um for things like ssds or for drive trays etc and then right here these are your rgb fans going to the back here just so you guys know these these are your pcies your pcie slots these are going to be your screws for basically taking this stuff out so should you want to remove um we're going to end up removing some of these when we install our gpu and then this is where we're going to actually the only fan you're going to have to do you are going to need one fan we've got the link for that down in the description below but this is our exhaust fan so we'll be adding an exhaust fan you can get them pretty inexpensive and like i said you're going to want to have that down in the description below right here in the back just walking you through here these are your ssd drive caddies so these allow you to do things like install ssds the way these work if you wanted to do it is you can just slide them off by pulling up and then taking off and then when you've actually got them installed you just slide them back on by going like this and then pulling it down these are all of your cables we'll talk and show you how to hook all these things up but this is just basically so you can easily cable manage and they use these velcro ties so as you kind of stick things in here it looks really nice in the back and then down here this is actually your hard drive caddy and then what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to pinch this and pull this out these are your accessories that you're going to need and we'll talk about the accessories you'll need a little bit later on but you want to take this out because this is all the stuff that we'll need for when we're installing the motherboard etc and then this is where you're going to install like larger three and a half inch hard drives this is where they would basically go so and then down here this is where we're gonna install our psu and then again it's a fully enclosed drought so that's just kind of a nice overview for the overall case in general and overall quality builds so right now what we're going to do real quick is we're going to walk through real quick what's inside of the accessories box right here so what's included is you've actually got an entire kind of instructions for doing things like how to open like all the stuff that i've basically shown you it actually shows you how to do yourself uh it talks about the rgb controls and your lighting controls should you show that what's actually installed what's included what's not included what's pre-installed and all that kind of jazz so it's a pretty neat stuff if you want to go in there um if you're just looking for some additional information that is included inside of here is um all of your additional things we talked about zip ties how some cases actually do come up with zip ties so we actually do get some included in there and then we have all of these different screws we will walk through what screws are what uh real quick so you know what screws you're going to need for which part so first and foremost these are zip ties and we're going to screw we'll dump all these out and i'll show you all the different screws so these screws right here they're kind of the thicker ones these are specifically for screwing in fans so we're going to be using these when you install our back fan our back exhaust fan these right here are additional thumb screws so these are going to be things for holding the stuff like in the very back when we're installing our our gpu or if something comes out for um the back panel like these are the screws that you use for that these and the way that you'll know what these are is they have a little lip around them these are actually the screws you're going to use to install your motherboard so these are the ones we're going to do when we install and screw in our motherboard these which actually have a little bit of a hex these are power supply screws not all cases come with them i think one thing that's nice about fantex is it does the power supply actually also comes with these so you actually end up with eight total that you have for here but that's what these specific screws are for is for installing your power supply in the back and then finally the last thing that you have and it looks like you only get one of them that i can see this is called a standoff and this is specifically what the motherboard screw screws into to install its motherboard onto the case these are pre-installed on this case but that's what this is called this is called a standoff this is your standoff this is your motherboard screw this is your power supply screw this is your fan screw and these are your thumb screws so let's let's talk about installing the motherboard now that we've got everything prepared so the first thing we'll need is we'll need this this is called your i o shield so you're going to just basically open up this bag and you're going to want to pop this right here in the bottom left there we go i'm just gonna push and then again you'll hear some nice solid clicks as you're pushing in there and don't be afraid to push nice and hard so when you install our motherboard what you're gonna do is you're basically gonna set this in there you're trying not to trying not too hard to cold from the cooler it feels like it's like the most secure way but what you can see is there's these two little things these two little antenna things just guiding them in like so and just what are you going to do is you're just going to set it there's like a little peg right here and it's going to basically get on that little peg like that for screwing in your motherboard screws remember the one that i showed you what you're going to do is you're going to stick your screw there you're going to stick your screw there stick your screw there one there there there there there and there that's all of your screws for your motherboard so let's go and get those in now [Music] so the next thing what we're going to do is we're going to install this fan the way that you know the way that you know and it depends on which fan you're going to do but a lot of times in this case there's actually a little arrow in here i'm hoping you can see that but it shows you which way the airflow is so this is saying the airflow goes this way um usually it's the the back looks like this the front looks like that what we want to do is we have airflow being pulled in this way and then again being drawn out exhaust this way so we're going to install that fan so the air is going this going out like this so we're going to do is we're going to stick that like this and then we're going to screw it in via the back and remember the screws we're going to want to use are the fan screws and you'll need four of them it looks just like this so we're going to do is we're going to pull this out to the back like so align the holes up this is where you have that funky this is where magnetic screws magnetic screwdrivers really come in handy because you're going to hold that and you need to screw those in you're going to screw all four of these in like this [Music] just like that and there your fan your exhaust fan is installed wonder though when you install the fan make sure that your wire your wire is towards the back not towards the front the main reason being is that you just want to make sure that your wires are more towards the back you're going to take this little cable right here and then you're going to connect it and install it right just right there just like that now what we're going to do guys is once you do that is you're going to take this little bit of cable and just for now in the top left-hand corner you can see i'm just going to shove all the little cables right there to the back like this and then you can lift this up grab it like that just kind of pull it tight we'll worry about controlling that like that but you just want to make sure it's all out of the way just like that so now we're going to walk through all the connectors what we're going to do is we're going to grab all our front panels and this is clump of cables that are right here in the front so let's talk about what all these cables are so you know what they are so when you hook things up the first group that we're going to talk about is our hard drive our reset and our power and these are going to be three cables that we'll hook up together so these are them those three right here the next one we're going to talk about is our usb 3. it looks just like this it's got a little blue blue bit and then a little nipple and we'll show you how to connect this this right here is your rgb header this is what's going to allow us to change the colors using the software the polychrome software that comes with the asrock motherboard and this is our hd audio so first thing you want to do is you want to get everything all entangled like this what you're going to do is you're going to grab your first front panel connectors that look just like this that we showed you earlier you're going to take these and you're going to shove them in the first slot just like this then you're going to take your rgb and your usb 3. and take those and shove them together in the second slot just like that and finally you're gonna take your hd audio it looks just like this i'm gonna shove it in that last slot just right there okay now you're gonna turn everything over so we're gonna do is we're gonna take our reset switch and our hard drive switch okay they look just like this they say reset switch hard drive and these are going to go on the bottom left right here there so right there is hard drive and right there is reset and then you're going to take this power switch and you're going to connect it right above the reset switch like that okay and then you're going to shove all those cables nicely down like that all right i told you to take this usb 3 inch of it into that middle light i lied you're going to take it and put it back in just like that we'll talk about that here in a second you're going to take this this is your rgb see how it's got three little holes and then there's a little one that's this little gray one right here and you want to line this up and it's only keyed one way you're going to line it up and you're going to put it on just like this right over that just like that then finally the last one is hd audio it's only keyed one way you've got one missing slot and then if you look here at the connection so what you're going to do is you're going to take this and again the missing slot lines up it only goes on one way shove it in just down like that and push the cable down just like that okay then finally we're gonna turn this back over and what you're gonna do is remember that blue cable i told you to shove back in that i lied about you're going to take this little blue cable which is your usb 3 and you're going to shove it into this top rubber grommet just like so now for this one there's a little nipple and there's a little slot for the nipple right here what you're going to do is you're going to go straight down at it at a 90 degree like straight 90 degree it's going to push it in just like that now all your front panels are connected let's talk about hooking up fans the way fans are the fan cables all look like this they're all these little three connectors like this what you're gonna do is you're gonna take the longest one and you're gonna leave it alone but you're going to take these other two shorter ones and you're going to shove them back through this top slot and then on the other side i'm going to pull these all the way out make sure they're all the way untangled okay so now you have them all in there and then what you're going to do you're going to take these and you're going to shove them into this bottom slot down here like this [Music] shove them down here and then you're gonna go down here you're going to grab them and it might not be a bad idea to remove these you're gonna grab these and pull them back through here and now you have all your cables that are nice and long i'll tell you guys right now just as an fy that was a pain in the butt but in order for you to be able to reach the fan headers at the bottom you're going to have to do this so now we're going to do is we're going to take this shorter one that's here you're going to stick this in the first slot right here you're going to take these next two you're gonna shove them into the middle slot just like this you're gonna turn it over so what you're gonna do is you're gonna take this one you're gonna put it to the far left above this little lip just push it in just like this there's that one there's that fan you're gonna take these next two and they're gonna connect the same way in the same type slot one right there like so and one right there like so and then all your fans are now connected just to recap this was your usb 3. this is your front panel connectors that we did our reset switch hard drive switch and power switch this was the one of the fans another one of the fans the last fan this is your rgb and that is your hd audio let's install our gpu so for gpu installation what you want to do is you want to unscrew the top two screws like yeah so there's one unscrew those top two what you want to do is remove just like that so what you're going to do is now you're going to take your gpu now gpus are always interesting because you want to make sure that you get all the peel off there's a lot of plastic on these things so take your time make sure you get all the peeling it's also important to make sure that you remove the two plastic protectors for the left line it up just like that and there it goes it clicks in just like that to make sure this is nice and secure so this little latch you just want to make sure that that's all the way locked like that and now your gpu is installed so when you think about cable management what you want to do is you basically want to just kind of get everything into channels so what i have a tendency to do is just kind of take the channels like this so we'll use the little ones that the fan text has provided so again pulling these through like so so now we're going to open up our psu and we'll just go through real quick we'll go through what you need so these this is your velcro ties like i said uh evga always seems to come with these which is kind of awesome this is actually a um a power jumper this allows you to test your psu it's usually mainly for water cooling but allows you to basically test your psu without having to plug it in so what it is has a jumper cable allows you to turn it on and then finally inside here we've got our psu screws right there you've got your power cable to make sure that you can turn it on and then finally these are all of the power cables that you have options for because this is a modular psu so what we're going to do is we're going to take out our psu so here at the back these are all their modular connections that we have up here this is actually the connection for your motherboard this is the where you're going to put the cpu eps power connector this is for your sata this is if you had an additional peripheral in this case it could be molex we'll show you that and then you've got your vga and vga 1 and vga 2 for your gpu so we talk about the cables we need so we'll need the power supply then we're going to undo this rat's nest of cables but don't worry we'll guide you through what you need don't worry calm down it's all going to be fine this is your motherboard connector this is the one that you're going to need for your power supply so this is the part that plugs into the psu and this is the part that's going to plug into our motherboard so we'll need that we won't need this so you can put this set this aside you will need one of these because there's actually power that goes to your rgb to your fan this is actually a sata power connector so that's what this is right here so that's what you're going to need they're going to need one of those this is the eps cpu you can always tell because it splits in two like that so this is your cpu that part's going to plug into your psu and that part's going to plug into your motherboard and then you'll need one of these and the reason you need one of these is this is actually split two ways so this part these two will connect into your uh gpu and this right here will connect into your power supply but given ours only needs one we're going to look for the same thing and this is actually it right here so this is the one that we'll need for our vga and then the rest of these you can put aside set aside in the box so again just to recap what you'll need out of here for your psu when it's all said and done is you'll need your motherboard cable you'll need a sata cable you'll need a cpu cable you need a vga cable and you'll need your four screws and your pet and your power supply so let's go ahead and prep our power supply real quick so we're gonna do is we're gonna take this right here this is the vga one like that you're gonna take the side that does not split you're gonna plug that into vga1 like so you're gonna take your cpu which is the one that splits take the side that's not split you're gonna plug it into cpu one like that then you're gonna take your sata you're gonna plug this into sata one like that you're gonna take your motherboard one and you can see this one's split unlike all the other ones where i said don't plug in the split part in this case you do plug in the split part you're gonna plug those into right here and right here and there you go your cpu is basically ready to go then we're going to take this and set these aside because we're going to screw those on in just a minute because you're just basically going to make sure the fan is down and you're just going to push it right in here like this [Music] and now we're going to screw it in remember the screws for this one are going to be your psu screws that actually came with it and they have little hexagonal ends what you do is you stick that and the one i always like to start with is the one that's up here and then don't tighten them all the way because you might need a little bit of movement here okay and then now just finally tighten now that you have them all make sure they're nice and they don't have to be too crazy tight just there you go okay now your psu is installed now we connect our final connections first thing we're going to do is we're going to take this little saddle what i'm doing is i shove this little cable as far down into the bottom and what you're going to do is you're going to unscrew and lift this first one and place it underneath and then these two connections the way they're keyed is there's a little lip on here and a little lip on here and they just go in one way and just going to push that in just like that the next one we're going to do is your cpu connection so you're going to take this little cpu one that says split you're just going to shove it this little hole in the top right just like that and then what you're going to do is you're going to take this big one right here and we're going to shove it in right up here like this [Music] and then finally we're gonna take the gpu one we're gonna shove this one in right in the middle like that okay okay so for motherboard and again it only goes one way there's a little clip little clip on the top there's a little clip on the edge here fold it up just like that [Music] push it in [Music] there you go this one uh the vga you're going to want to make sure these are all connected together and then it just goes the little clip connects a little clip on the bottom like that and then finally in the top left you have your cpu so you're gonna have this and you're gonna flip them over so the clips are on the top goes in just like that so recap here on the top thing so this is your motherboard power that we plugged in the top left you plugged in your cpu eps it's labeled cpu eps and then here is your vga that is it this pc is done we're just gonna quickly turn it over one more time it's gonna fix our cables real quick cable managed ready to go you have now finished a pc but does it post down here make sure this is on the zero so it's off plug your power in right here on your video card you have the option of hdmi or display port so whichever one you're going to do for your mouse in our case we're going to put in vg uh hdmi and then i always plug in a lan if you wanted to use your wi-fi you could use those wi-fi antennas that you got but before you install windows you want to make sure that you have network connectivity so you could use these in here or you can use in our case we're going to use land but let's see if it turns on okay flip the switch hit the power [Music] so [Music] and just like that guess what guys you built a full 1k machine step by step with me now let's go next up we're going to sit there and do it but let's say it looks like it makes a post you can see that it's posting right there and now what we're going to do is we're going to install windows okay so we've now completely finished the install we've got the pc up we showed that it's posted if you actually are interested in installing windows i've shown you how to do that my step-to-step guide on the 500 pc you can just check the link for that right here that'll show you how to do windows from the beginning getting you all set up the one thing now is unique to every build is i want to show you how to make sure that your ram is overclocked and running at its ideal profile because right now if you right out of the box it's going to run at 2133 so right now we're here we're within the bios so when you boot up the pc you hit delete at the beginning you'll end up at a screen that looks just like this what you're going to do is you're going to go over to overclock tweaker the oc tweaker right at the top you see where it says load xmp settings even though this is do dohc or docp i think it's dohc i don't remember off the top of my head but you're gonna go to this load xmp settings change this from auto to xmp 2.0 profile one that'll send it to 3600 then you're going to go to exit save changes and exit hit yes and then it'll boot into windows now don't do this until after you've fully installed windows and fully updated then go back and set your overclocking so that way you're maximized and ready to go now let's take a look at a couple benchmarks first we're going to run 3dmark we'll run modern warfare um we'll check out modern warfare and we'll run fortnite and then after that if you want to check out those other benchmark settings you can check out that video again right here which ran some other games as well but we just want to make sure runs it the way that it's supposed to given the combination of the 3600x and the 2060 ko so let's check those out right here what it does is it continues to add effects to try and keep it at the same frame rate the entire time so then based on what it's what effects it's able to add it's just telling you essentially it's like here's what your pc is scored so it's got one test after this which is the cpu one which is like shoots a bunch of particles everywhere and then it's like okay here you go so 7472 so 7472 let's compare our results in terms of what this is versus other pcs around the same one so if i look at my results we can look at other ones this is a ryzen 5 3600x so there you go like around the same one we did this with another 2060 there's 7144 and then there's 70 60. so it gives you an idea this will be somewhere between 7000 and 7472 the one reason that this one is higher than some of these other ones that you're seeing here are specifically because of the overclocking of ram this is actually running a 3600 and some of those other ones were 3200 so some people ask like hey does it actually make a difference when i overclock my ram yes this is just proof that it does okay so let's load some games you've gotten your time spy you can check how that was let's go and run some games and see how that is so let's take a look at the first game what we're going to do is we're loading up some call of duty war zone uh getting into this uh overall great br one of the games that i've always asked in terms of showing how this game performs so we're gonna jump into a game real quick and let's see how this goes go go go just a look while we're waiting for this you guys can see what my overall graphics options are set to full screen automatic and everything right now is set to high now the funniest thing is i will let you guys know you're not going to judge me on gameplay i'm not here for that like don't try and sit there and say like you're if you're expecting like you know tsm or you know team liquid level pro game then you are watching the wrong videos ladies and gentlemen this is just to show you what it's going to be like uh when you play the game i'm here to just help you find the best uh pc options for your gaming experience and nothing more but yeah i mean look at this 112 frames per second we've even changed settings down to medium this is not having any problems saying in a hundred sub 100 i mean oh god oh oh wait whoa shot that guy oh what did it oh well there we go 100 frames a second we're good oh this guy's not paying attention i won like this is the longest i've ever survived in this game die oh i got him i got him i won i won that guy was not ready for me to do that i'm a pro do it 120 frames per second we're good there okay so that's that's call of duty modern warfare again running at high settings you have options there in terms of changing to medium and stuff but easily getting a hundred plus pretty close to 100 frames per second and you have the options of actually going higher so let's uh let's uh let's quit the desktop and let's check out some fortnite real quick in the preload menu right now uh fortnite uh getting about 100 frames again let's take a look at our settings we have unlimited frame rate we're sitting at uh epic level so let's go ahead and set it down to high so immediately you saw that jump up to 134 in the game 140 frames per second and above the island um i would say we're driving greasy grove but uh that hasn't been in the game for like 12 years so let's go over here and let's see how we're doing in terms of where they're sitting 100 and plus right now but look at this right now i'm actually even impressed we're getting 170 200 frames per second easily right now got a shotgun shotgun i don't wanna where is where's the people now i got a blue gun it's buttery smooth this feels so good and then it looks really good too and again ideally set we're looking at 1080p gaming that's really kind of where we are for here um the 2060 ko is capable of 1440 you're looking at probably um you know 60 maybe 80 fps you could get 100 fps probably at lower settings if you want to do 1440 get this sniper rifle whoa god oh my gosh i beat him do you see that skill you know it's actually it's a really terrible day when you get beat by me i'm just saying oh i'm a survivor i'm a survivor oh oh my gosh all i'm saying is guys it's like magic right now i'm letting you know takata if you're watching this right now you know that i'm coming for you we're easily getting 150 150 plus higher fps there's definitely some tweaking you could do from this so showing you modern warfare both the brs the only two is again you can check that video that i linked a little earlier we put down the description below i'm completely capable so what do we do today we completely built a 1k machine uh that does more than what that does really well in games um we you know you saw your overall your 3d mark you definitely saw your uh your gameplay in terms of that sort of stuff guys what did you guys think what did you think in terms of the overall quality of the build were you happy or were you surprised by anything you saw in in this video today i'd love to know if you had any things that were scary or were surprising in terms of where you might consider difficult couple things just to remember about the build one those front fans you're gonna have to run that kind of weird snaking thing down at the bottom uh to get those hooked up but for the most part pretty straightforward build very easy to do all in all uh we didn't have any surprises outside of maybe those those fan connections at the very beginning uh guys let me know comments below what did you think is there anything that we could do better when we do these kind of guides for the most part we try to do a really good job of being super thorough and again if you need to install windows we showed you a link to that video a little bit earlier now while you're down in those comments make sure you slap that subscribe button hit that like button and ring that notification bell so you get a notification each and every time we go live uh each and every time we do a video or we go live speaking to live check out our live show every wednesday thursday friday starting at 6 30 p.m going until about 9 9 30 right here on youtube or you can go check it out on twitch as we stream to both also if you're looking for more questions or have questions about building pcs or just want to talk to like-minded tech infra-tech people join us over on our discord channel the link in the description below down there we have you know literally thousands of people who talked about pc builds uh talk about tech teching gaming all that sort of stuff is all there as well anyway guys that is it for today's episode i hope you guys enjoyed what you did we're going to go build some more pcs and we will see you guys later [Music] you
