hi everybody Alaina here from PC world I am finally back with the second
installment of my twitch streaming Kesey I'm going to hate that intro because I
feel like I'm talking like this this / sorry Adam hi everybody
Alaina from PC world Here I am back finally with instalment number 2 so in
case you didn't already know we're doing I'm doing a Velox series about this
particular build which is gonna help me stream for the first time to twitch
that'll be kind of interesting for me I've never done it before this
particular video is just going to be an unboxing of all the stuff I got in sort
of because some of it is actually still in use in our builds elsewhere one of
the things about working here at PC world is that we don't actually have a
lot of equipment so it's constantly being used and so I've had to make a
couple of substitutions which does change the price of the build and I'll
put the notes about that in the description for the the video let's get
started see what I've got first up is actually an empty box for now just know
that I am still using the 2700 X and it is floating somewhere in our lab and I
will appropriate it when it comes time to build next up is our motherboard so
this is the gigabyte G a a B 350 M gaming - three board that's quite a
mouthful here we go the glorious part of us all which is the motherboard I'll
pull it out real quick so y'all can see it so here's the here's the board one of
reasons I chose this board is because it has four dimm slots for RAM which is
important as you'll see in a moment because of a substitution I had to make
and that wasn't even intentional I actually had just wanted to give myself
room to expand so it all worked out rather fortuitously so up next is the
RAM so originally for the build I chose g.skill this
instead is Corsair Vengeance Ram and it's a little bit faster so it's 3200
megahertz the reason I chose this was not
necessarily for any particular you know concern it's just that of all the things
we had in the office this was available so there's quite a big a big price bump
for not a lot of gain in my opinion so yeah I would just stick with the
original I'm just using this in this build because it's available to me and I
have it and I don't want to delay this series of videos any further so story
with the SSD is similar so originally for my build I had chosen Western
Digital black drive an nvme drive and that's only like 250 gigs so it wasn't
nearly as expensive as what I have in my hands right now which is a Samsung 970
pro m2 drive and it's a whopping one terabyte drive because again this is
what's available right now in our lab because the other the other drive is
still being used and testing for a different project right now so I don't
wreck I don't recommend that you make the same swap if you're following along
with the build yourself and want to build something similar I think getting
a 250 gigabyte drive is totally fine if you just want to use that as a food
drive which was my original intention like I I was just gonna stick in a
regular hard disk drive for the games but here we are I've got plenty of room
now I'm on a one terabyte drive this drive is $500 right now on new way and I
think the other one is like maybe a hundred something tops so 100 low 100's
so yeah that's quite a jump alright so GPU I'm really excited about
however it's not the one that I had requested but these when I requested
this originally we were still in the middle of the GPU shortage so I'm not
gonna look a gift horse in the mouth as they say originally I chose the for the
win version I think I would still stick with that this one is just
the superclass version it's not just so it's just so it's just a lower factory
overclock man I hate when I do that if you don't if you watch enough of these
videos you'll learn very quickly that I am I'm too well trained by huge Asian
parents to always be very tidy and I can't help it so I'm trying not to rip
anything but I'm failing miserably as you can see ah there we go
ooh oh you can't smell it but it's got like new hardware part smell and it's
glorious I love it I think that's much better
than your car smell personally that always makes me sick
I'll do the peel later well I'm actually building oh you know what what the heck
I'll just do it now I've seen so many videos especially that case videos where
they'll do the the peel and it just makes this town that I personally don't
find satisfying but I know so many people love watching that peel I guess
it's like the equivalent of popping bubble wrap and that's a pretty car but
if you look at these like details right here I love this right here and right
there and there's like this little properly get this like a little live in
a gorilla's like this little dotted mesh pattern nice backplate I will fill this
though he's knowing me I might forget to do it later
you hear that there we go so I'm having a little difficulty grabbing onto that
film but there you go ah pulled off yeah that's pretty I would still go for
performance and I'm pretty sure the for the wind card is a good looking car too
but can't say I'm unhappy with the aesthetics of this like a sticker you
know I've never actually played any stuff like this on my part or sorry my
cases before you know like some of my friends when they build they actually do
put like the Intel or the AMD here on the Friday oh I actually wonder
how many people do it I'm gonna skip to the power supply first before the case
I got a modular power supply if I remember right because I don't like a
lot of extra tables to have to shove in somewhere into my case and have to tie
off neatly these are pretty flexible which I like sometimes you get these
cables and they're really stiff but these have a nice like pliability to
them so I think I'm really gonna like building with this we'll find out
there's our standard modular power supply oh cool I'm gonna sure if they're
just showing up in the frame I'll see if I can help close I can bring it but
there's a texture on the fan blades and it's the EVGA logo you know I was just
thinking about this other I don't mind branding on parts I mean obviously if
you're gonna produce the part like why not let people know that you know you
produced it but I like for it to be tasteful I think this is very tasteful
look at me fix that later okay so I think what we're gonna do next is
I'm gonna change the camera angle so that you can actually see the case as i
unbox that so stick around I'll be right back okay we're back
final part of this unboxing video which is actually one of my favorite parts
this is the NZXT s340 super popular case and the reason I'm so excited for this
is that I was able to get a white case with a purple strip so that means that
it's super perfect the matically for a twitch streaming PC also guest-starring
in this video is Adam Patrick Murray's knife so thank you Adam for the loan I
feel like every member of the full nerd crew except for me carries a knife and
I'm not really sure I want to start carrying one because unfortunately
unlike men women's clothing does not have any real pockets in it it's the
worst thing ever a lot of times when I'm hanging out with female friends
I only happen to mention anything about clothing the first thing I read that
dress does it have pockets I love those pants doesn't have pockets I love that
shirt is that pocket able to carry anything we really want pockets I don't
know why designers don't give us pockets it sucks
all right this is a very purple white box which I enjoy
to do and as some of you might know I do some hobbies that involve like sports
and dance and stuff I am the most least coordinated person in the world who does
those things constantly tripping constantly like falling on my face the
worst all right that's the case ooh I'm excited it's the only thing that would
make this case even cooler okay to have a tempered glass finger
instead of acrylic change the price I swear the purple is homeless mm-hmm
this might be a little more blue than the twitch perfect but it's very close
all right guys should I peel now or peel later I think
I think I'll peel later because I have a bad habit of scratching things so
associated with all that clumsiness I talked about earlier that extends to
accidentally damaging things when I least mean to so that concludes it I
think yeah all the parts are done we know what we're working with again I
made some part substitutions that I don't necessarily recommend I just did
that because it's what I have available and this bill is not so much about raw
performance I made you a couple of benchmarks when I'm done with the build
but this is more about just to see what it's like to get the system up and
running and then actually streaming to twitch so I'm not as concerned about the
part swap for that and this and also I wouldn't necessarily even recommend some
of the upgrades just because they're a little ludicrous I mean a good way but
they're a little ludicrous so check back hopefully in a week or so for the next
build or sorry the next video in the series which will be the actual build
and we'll go from there thanks for tuning in I'll catch you all
soon
yeah I can't even threw a thumbs up this is terrible
