a PC fans Adam Patrick Murray from PC world here with the Elena Yi we're back
for another PC build yeah this one this one is gonna be really fun
this one we're calling well the the standard name is Jess you know RGB build
yeah it's not very imaginative so in house we've been calling it Viva Las
Vegas Viva Las Vegas she gave me an idea just so it's a slot
machine on the side right well we're done with this they may be lighting up
like this yeah this should give you an indication of just how much RGB we're
gonna put in here how many components we can put yeah flashy flashy the the goal
is to get as many lights and there's many flashing things as we can and don't
worry she came pretty damn close covered in
lights real quick I want to mention the the live date we're gonna be doing this
build on April 11th at 10 a.m. Pacific time next Wednesday so you know tune in
on YouTube on Twitch over on Facebook we're gonna build it live we're gonna be
drinking beers like usual and we're gonna have our usual fun if you haven't
tuned in for a live build yet you should definitely do it the links are gonna be
in the description so definitely check it out there so yeah with that yeah yeah
I'm really excited for this we we can see at this idea like maybe the end of
last year and this is my build so I was gathering parts but I got sick in
February is happening a lot later than I anticipated which just built the amount
of I'm excited for it yeah we'll start with the simple stuff which is CPU we
are going to be building with a risin 7 1800 X I went with AMD this time because
I figure if we're going with a Vegas theme you know more is always better
right okay so the mix of cores is better if you're gonna ask me though why don't
you go thread Ripper what in Jude you you know something with sky like X it's
because I wanted to keep this like relic
this would be a system that unnormal britain on content creator would build
yeah and just had some extra cash to blow on making it aesthetically well
depends what kind of person where are their aesthetically pleasing or
aesthetically horrifying well you know the and the great thing about this is a
you've been seeing great deals yeah and the rice and parts right yeah they've
been coming down so I think it's anyone this one you can probably get these days
if you wait for a good sale in like the neighborhood of 350 400 that's extra
extra money you can be putting into more more lights more more fancy stuff
alright so yeah Rison 7 I like it what about what about the cooler for this
because it does not come with a stock cooler and even if it did I mean this is
an RGB build so we would Y be a replacement anyway so for the okay so I
have to dive into the whole RGB thanks when I started this build or planning
out this build one of the reasons I wanted to do it was to figure out just
how to put together an RGB system cuz I actually never have done it not besides
having like the weird random vacation part that just happened to have it and
then I didn't really pay attention to it and so for this build I want it to be
like one all-inclusive coordinated by a single piece of software kind of yes yes
yes cuz I wanted everything to be coordinated I didn't want to have to run
you know this piece of software for this component this piece of software for
that component so there's like three major ecosystems that you can go with
and you know predictably they're all run by different vendors so you have a
Seuss's or a sink you have gigabytes RGB fusion and my favorite named one is
MSI's mystic light mystic light of the others of those three there's also like
Corsair cuz they have their own kind of you know set of things that are only
kind of compatible with each other of those three I chose a soos because
they had the most components that I wanted to use than they were compatible
with okay but gigabyte also has a fairly
robust system they each have their quirks
so like gigabyte doesn't have as nearly nearly as many like third-party I think
it was like coolers that they support whereas like a soos doesn't support
keyboard and mics RGB keyboard and mice by other vendors just yet I've been told
that that supports coming later interesting but for this build I
actually ended asked any suits to send us some of their peripherals so that
otherwise I wouldn't be able to do that so it is just kind of get to choose your
parts and then kind of see like what you can hold the shoehorn into an ecosystem
is nice with that in mind I went with a soos for this build and so one of the
parts that's compatible with that is this cool master 240 millimeter red also
I I had no idea that that so many things could be lit up I'm already I'm already
learning yeah because because it's not just the fans it's also the which
actually goes on top right well this one as impressive as some of the other ones
I've seen know some of the other ones I've seen are just like you have like a
ring around the block okay but yeah I mostly got this one because it's
compatible it fits in the case which you'll see in a moment nice I like it I
like it so then next up motherboard huh no actually is it as a preview as a hint
to what's going in the case oh goodness there's another spot that has to be
filled with something that has glow so I'm adding is another fan next to that
rad just so I don't have oh yeah three in one kid wow that's a fancy kid love
it alright mutt motherboard he does again
overkill absolutely overkill apps I don't actually need a motherboard of
this caliber this is you saw crosshair was at six extreme yes
yes very extreme yeah it's pretty tense I don't know if you can see here the
zoomed in part of how it's supposed to look when it glows again I chose for
function although the function this case is pretty kitted out but as you can see
this has quite a few lights on there and obviously you know it's compatible with
you yeah man and I'll also mention this is heavy duty you can definitely hit
some that's another part and we'll have the full rundown with like links and
prices to all the parts and see if the article will go live I believe the end
of this week and then in the youtube description as well you can check it out
there Ram yeah you got some ran with some
lights I did I got so I had pretty much a choice between Corsair and g.skill and
Coursera is not really compatible with the asus or a spanker ecosystem so
g.skill it was yeah you get some Trident I did I feel like we've used to train
hands before right we have it was just sent to Gordon as part of like his press
kit oh that's what this time I actually pressed this on purpose and this full
RGB nice nicely I know this is gonna be the even these are heavy duty okay
and I was warned that they can have slight weird compatibility issues at
that speed if I try to run all 32 gigs which again is complete overkill but in
the theme of this build I'm going nowhere I can depending on how the bill
goes if we're able to post or not post I may cut it down to 16
is here for ya next up uh storage you know storage alright so storage I don't
have because we have a bunch of SSDs floating around the office we didn't see
ya but we will be using just like a Kingston or crucial or something yeah
we've got plenty laying around so I haven't fully investigated the case but
I have a feeling it's not gonna be in view anyway so getting the flash
overkill where we need it I guess yeah yeah so the GPU or yeah let's do it
um rogues tricks yeah so I picked this one
mostly because availability and partially because of the lighting
pattern you know right now RGB on graphics cards it's still fairly subdued
so it's not like this is going to blow your you know mind with how flashy it is
but now it's tasteful yeah um it's a 1070 because that's really uh
if I had my preference I would have gotten like a 1080 maybe a 1080i but
beggars can't be choosers that's okay yeah what's important is that it'll
still play pretty high frame rates and it has the lights nice yeah so power
supply how many lights can be seen Oh what this doesn't have any it's gonna be
hidden behind a shroud I'm just get a plain plain power supply however this is
still very nice power supply it's fully modular 750 watts so Gordon's not gonna
like it find out during the build oops and he's gonna go on another rant about
it yeah so this is a pretty fancy you know PSU but I figured that if I was
kind of going all out with the others why not start jewel I mean it's not that
crazy you know crazy and honestly this get reamed upgrade usually there's one
of the first things that will go in your system anyway so you may as well some
that's rock-solid yeah yeah if you're a long time viewer you already know how
Brad and I feel about power supplies and cheeping out of them versus Gordon yes
yes long-running debate paired with that if I didn't take out a prophecy yet
we're gonna use some customs so don't be a little nicer there we go one of the
benefits to having a modular power supply is custom cables these are
individually sleeves and the braided and braided no it's pretty um the reason I
did this is because this will also be my first build where I have a windowed make
it look like zip tying things off and asking myself does that block air flow
no good to go oh well you're not as bad as Gordon in that so don't worry about
it maybe just sit on your lap this is this my friends I got talked into it
mostly because it's one of cooler masters news cases Wow
but more importantly it has a tempered glass side because of course we don't
want do plastic anymore these days and it has these two gigantic 200 millimeter
RTV fans on the front yeah it's gigantic it's amazing I'm really actually excited
about this because one I now have room to build and I don't have two likes
we're constantly on camera about where I'm gonna put things or what order I
have to build I can just shove it in and whatever order I want
Wow and - I mean come on look at this it's just so big and so full of light
and then if it posts I think we can have a you know an excitement of
with putting you in the box to see if you feel right that they'll be the
reward yeah and then as you can see here there's room for those three the to the
rad plus the extra fan at the top so that's why I got that for the CPU cooler
all right the final final part of this build are these I don't know I'm gonna
do with them but I just like okay I'm gonna do an RGB build I should get light
strips just just so I can fully you know bling this thing out so I got three
packs of these light strips I have no idea how to mount them well where I'm
gonna put them that's gonna be part of the fun of the build I think next week
you guys can tell me where you think I should put these yeah that'll be fun
audience participation I don't know I don't think these are
magnetic so I'm gonna have to figure out some kind of like crazy sound system or
something probably well connect can I pull an audible you know I think since
you don't have light-up PSE you you don't have light-up storage what if you
have a light-up sound card like the sound blaster you're 85 which we got
sitting around that's true I could put that in there yes you can put that in
there and it comes with an extra strip of LED so maybe you take that strip and
wrap it around the PSU or something and then to round it out you have some
accessories or these so
this has really no bearing on the build but in case you want to see what else
we'll be throwing in we got cherry switches okay I actually didn't realize
that uh that Asus made keyboards yeah fun fact I actually had to ask them for
a very small discrete Mouse because I had a feeling that they would send me
one of those monstrosity that wouldn't fit in my hand and says this is my build
I want to actually be able to use the mouse Wow all right yeah everything but
the monitors will you know we might even have the monitors anyway we'll figure
that out we'll figure it out so you know once we build it like usual we'll kind
of make sure post live and then and then we're we're gonna follow up with a with
a post mortem video like we do but this time instead of just running straight up
benchmarks and all that fun stuff what's gonna be your criteria for a good
build should be completely honest I feel like with RGB the whole port are the
whole purpose of this build and going into the whole RGB thing is to see how
easy it is to control it all you can see if I like the patterns how how I like
the customization if I can make it flash if I have a piece of delivery the
important things they all want to know how importantly I have a feeling we
haven't decided on the format of the post-mortem a be some b-roll of me just
I mean like you I I actually haven't done too much RGB you know modding to my
cases or any of my build so yeah I'm pretty interested just to see how I like
it it's controlled and especially if you if you're saying that the AC system can
kind of kind of control alright so then yeah definitely come back on what is it
able yeah Wednesday April 11th 10 a.m. Pacific time
to tune in and watch this build it live you can ask us all the questions you can
watch it light up and you can watch Gordon get a little rosy cheeked yes I'm
not letting him anywhere near the build with his beer just no well but he used
it as a water block for the other one right yeah
fun times anyway Thank You Lena for for this I think this is gonna be super fun
so everybody tune in and we'll see you later
