I'm looking for the 2700 X for this bill but well this one might be a little
difficult to find okay I see oh there's a rising box but that one looks like it
doesn't have a cooler so I'm gonna guess this one is for first gender I sinned
yeah facial function rising oh there's a box there's a box that one's a big one
so that one holds the cooler that might have what I need oh look this has 2,700
ox except it's empty yep oh hello Verizon APU build you're
looking a little disassembled got something No hey look a snack I'll come
back to you later okay I think maybe it's in one of the builds we're using
right now up in tow no poop this one might be promising this
one looks like a wraith prison cooler I'm not sure if anyone's using it so hey
Gordon where's the 2700 X hey everybody Elena here from PC world I am hey
everyone Elena here from PC world I am bringing you a new project we're trying
out it's gonna be a v-log about a PC build so i've been thinking of building
a streaming box just for funsies because why not there's a lot of parts out there
with a lot of cores so I may as well take advantage of that so unlike our
normal live builds where you know we talked about the parts and then we
actually build it in front of you all alive and then we have poor smoke
post-mortems we are actually going to do this in a lot more detail I have never
streamed to twitch before so you're gonna be with me on this entire journey
of picking parts putting it together seeing how it does and benchmarking and
most importantly what the heck I'm gonna be doing to actually stream like what
software I'm gonna be using what is the best way to actually handle like rapid
fire chat if there are a bunch of people trying to talk at me while I'm looking
at a camera trying not to look like a deer in headlights so you'll get to see
all of it um right now we're gonna go straight to the park
picking so let's go over to my desk and see what I grab
and I'm done picking parts that took a little bit longer than I was
anticipating but you know in theory if I was to build this for myself I would be
looking at it for a long time so wanting to get it just right so what did I pick
okay so CPU I'm going with a 2700 X which may seem like overkill but again
I've never done a shimmy box and I know that some streamers actually have two
whole separate separate systems all together just because of how taxing it
can be and since I'm planning to do it all from one box I felt like there's no
reason for the CPU to be a potential bottleneck
I could have gone with 2700 but I have to admit that Wraith prism cooler kind
of tipped me over I guess I'm willing to pay what like 48 alters for that thing
so here we are motherboards just a basic gigabyte micro
ATX be 350 board although this one does have slots for for dims on the board so
I don't feel like I'm really giving that much up versus HX and this way if I want
to I can still build a small form factor which is really something I love to do
in general memory going with 16 gigs again probably not necessary a pilot
could get away with eight gigs but again because I'm putting everything into one
box I just want to make sure there's no potential for you know things get
involvement any we're going with G skill 16 gigs of DDR for 3,000 speed memory
storage I went with an M not to drive which should be compatible with this a
motherboard and I went with a Western Digital black and the AMIA under 50 gigs
a little expensive but it's on our list for some of the one of the best SSDs out
there so I figured it's on sale might as well it's a video card I went with a gtx
1070 I'll probably be streaming at what 1080p at most but
if I am thinking of this as something that I would actually build for myself
then I would like the option to game at twenty five by you know 14 or 25 by 16
so splurged a little on that prices haven't come down as much as I would
like them to so yeah and then the case the case that I spent so much time on I
finally chose an NZXT s340 partially because it has really looks like it has
great matte cable management I have the layouts really nice I like that shroud
but perhaps most importantly and most shallowly it comes in a color scheme
that I like which is a white and a purple and again if I have to stare at
this a lot I I do want it to be something attractive and not necessarily
something where I think yeah I guess I kinda cheaped out on that and then
finally power supply I went with the EVGA gold-certified a sixty six hundred
and fifty watt power supply so a little bit of a splurge it's um it's a modular
power supply so I expect Gordon to fight me on this one
all in all before rebates which you know maybe me I will file but but I was just
to you know take this as is out the door and be about twelve hundred dollars
that's where I think I'd be comfortable spending a build like this so it's so
within budget so though me being me I definitely would like to get the price
down if I could through sales once I get all the parts in I think we're gonna do
an unboxing video so you can kind of see my rendition of adult-child reacting to
Christmas in June I guess Rome is in June we may even try
to see if I fit in the case box again but no guarantees and if you don't know
I'm talking about you should definitely check out the post mortem video for our
RGB build just saying otherwise stick around we'll have some fun stuff for you
