Building Your First Computer: A Fun and Educational Experience

If you have a substantially powerful video card, this build may not be the best choice for you. This is because it's recommended to use the RTX 3080 with an 80+ Gold power supply and the RTF 20 case. However, if you were buying an RTX 3080 IT-20, it's the wrong power supply, and it's also the wrong case. Frankly, this build is the wrong everything.

Building a balanced machine involves buying nicer components as you upgrade one thing at a time. Remember to move any unnecessary parts out of the way earlier on. Notice that they've put a handy-dandy connector right there. Simply stick it in and make sure it's secure with a twist tie. It's actually just fine the way it is.

The exhaust fan is plugged in, and our system build is complete. All that's left at this point is to put the side panel back on and then plug it in. We'll need a USB thumb drive with Windows 10 on it to install windows because there's nothing on this drive. You can create a Windows 10 installation drive using a four-gigabyte or larger USB thumb drive, and you're ready to go.

Our first build was supposed to be like a $9,000 or Thread Ripper or something, but we started with this instead. This is an easier build to start with, especially for those who have never built a computer in their life. Using very expensive parts can be overwhelming, while this build provides a cheaper learning experience.

If you're watching and thinking of trying to build your first PC, should you try a $3,000 build on your first go? The answer is no. While building an i9 is not substantially different than this build, everything is just fancier. You'll need dedicated cables for the power supply, more SSDs installed, and possibly a nicer cooler or liquid cooler.

The CPU installation process will be slightly different depending on whether you're using an I9 or AMD Ryzen processor. The motherboard, i/o shield, front panel connectors, and other components are largely the same regardless of the price range. You'll still need to put in the posts, get the i/o shield in place, put the motherboard in, and ensure that your CPU is properly seated.

The 24-pin ATX power cable will be the same for both the Thread Ripper and AMD Ryzen processor. The extra connector on the Thread Ripper may seem like an additional step, but it's actually just a redundant connector. Don't feel limited to building only high-end machines if you want to – with the right guidance, you can build an awesome PC of your own.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to tech deals on tech and this is broke we are building an AMD Athlon 200 GE $300 budget computer now this is the second video in this series I've already done a parts overview link to that down in the video description below along with all the parts both in the $300 version of the build as well as the upgraded version that we're going to show you today but you really can build a complete $300 AMD Athlon 200 GE with Vega 3 graphics that will play games without a dedicated graphics card case power supply Ram SSD motherboard the whole nine yards or at least eight and a half of them for $300 now those links down in the description below do support us and we did buy most of the stuff that you see here on the desk so if you find this video series interesting informative funny useful or whatever please use those when shopping it really does help now I am going to be doing a lot of talking because I talk very well I'm gonna be concentrating Road is going to be guided this is my first bill so it's like that is correct Rogue is gonna be building this computer and I'm gonna be providing guidance have you ever built a computer before no any kind of computer no ever even 20 years ago yeah so this is your first time putting a CPU onto a motherboard Ram the motherboard into a case connecting to a power supply yep putting an SSD on yep turning it on and going I was gonna say abracadabra but thankfully this isn't magic and if any of you are watching this video thinking man building the computer sounds like fun or it's interesting where I'd like to give it a try but I'm nervous or scared because I've never done it before it's like Lego it's putting parts together that's all it is they're all you've seen me do it many times I have these are standardized parts that just simply snap and plug together they screw into the same spots they're all designed to fit you know an ATX board fits into ATX cases fits with an ATX power ATX board in a ITX case no well if you get a dremel and solve the bottom off maybe fold it in half I'm sure put it on the side of the top oh well cut a hole in the top of the case and have it stick out there we go at least know that she knows lots of things can you believe she's you've watched me build how many computers now a lot so she's seen me build them I've seen yes well she started watching and then usually about three minutes in she finds something interesting on her iPhone don't like it isn't oh thank you my love now for those of you who are curious rogue is my lovely beautiful wife of nearly 15 years now she deserves a medal for that achievement she is the mother of our three beautiful children which you have seen featured on our channel and she's been in some other videos chair videos the green screen review the e3 videos that we did she was in the first remove you a hint o Jawa stabilized camera videos that we did you did an outside one she's been in some of the floatplane exclusive videos that are over on floatplane link to floatplane down in the video description below floatplane is a subscriber only media service run by linus media group yes that linus it's three dollars a month at least when we're recording this and in addition to early access no YouTube ads you also have there's about 20 exclusive videos over there that aren't on YouTube the main reviews the graphics card reviews the build those will be on both YouTube and floatplane but there are some fun ones including do you remember our trip to see a Tesla at the Tesla store I did and we went to the Microsoft Store we did and we've done a variety of other excursions out of the office and house they're only on flow plane it the outside game the real pixels the the VR out there is amazing hang on I hear it's ray-traced out there including you did a walk about with the remove you walking around outside did I remember that that's over on floatplane everybody should go subscribe it directly supports the channel it does and that money helps us stay independent and give you our views on everything and buy this stuff and show it to you and for a couple of bucks a month it's greatly appreciated and with that entire preamble out of the way do you have anything you'd like to add before we get to building this awesome computer do you know what I love about this computer what the price well I do like the price I love the value I love the fact that you can put together an actual functional useful computer for three hundred dollars now you weren't here when any of the parts overview I did that very quickly to make that a short sweet video but when I was growing I was there I watched you would yep you were over there you weren't in the video no I wasn't watching the video don't know that you were sitting and listening to the whole thing you give me a thumbs up I did give you a thumbs up I gave you two thumbs up I appreciate that it wasn't that long ago that even putting together a basic computer for a thousand dollars was a challenge and here we are with a three hundred dollar computer and it's not just a computer it's an actual useful computer with a boot SSD with eight gigabytes of RAM a 500 watt power supply for future expansion a full-size ATX B 450 board that's overclockable has four RAM slots and this board is in the $300 budget yes frankly the board is probably overkill for this budget and you could do like 250 or 275 or the cheaper board but this gives you expansion ability the am4 socket you could go to a rise in seven with this yeah I would absolutely put a rise in seven in this board yep so it's a great starter system it is and it's a nice case it's not one of those cheap $20 you know cases where you'll cut your hand on the metal not what you've seen those good 300 bucks Wow I love deals tell everybody how much I love deals oh I can find deals in a 300 hour computer and I can find deals in a 3,000 dollar computer it's very true right now she's probably sitting here going I thought we were building a computer yes but it gives everybody a chance with this is our we've done live streams together yes and we've we've done some other ancillary videos yes but to the best of my knowledge this is the first time that we've stood up in front of the camera both wearing microphones yep there are two different audio recorders and we're gonna put them together in post and I hope the audio is decent and if you're listening to this and the audio is not great or it sounds off we'll post process as much as we can we're working on the audio we have it we have a separate wireless adapter for this to make them both go in but that's for the next video this is the first real tech deals video we have done together first first I don't know about all of you in the audience but I am height to have my wife next to me rather than just sitting over there or off doing something else I've always wanted a a partnership in my business with my wife and you've done a variety of other things including oh I don't know have three children which you know I hear is a little bit of a work it's almost like a job hang and I'll just I'll just move over this way before I get so hot no it really is I wouldn't trade jobs with her for anything because I've seen that job and I don't want it alright so with that fun nough sout of the way hopefully you guys are all having fun sitting back relax get your cup of coffee Tech doesn't have us coffee we need Jeeves to go get us coffee hey we have three children we should train them to get us cos hey hang on oh they're not coming anyway okay enough nonsense you can see all the parts on the desk here we got the motherboard we've got the RAM SSDs power supply little move this out of the way here to give us room here now we have been recording this entire time although most of this will be front cam we won't turn it on until this point but we have been recording with the overhead camera now the challenge to this is we're gonna have to put us in the corner and the overhead camera which you can see right here the full screen because there's really no white space left to put the camera and we're using the big G in the middle of our gamers Nexus mat as our focal point for the overhead Steve right thank ya thanks to Steve from gamers Nexus for sending this very nice mod man these are not inexpensive but would you not agree that the material is way above the the mouse pads and the felt pads and we have used it a lot these are a hundred dollars hundred bucks but it is an anti-static surface designed not to be conductive it does have the little wrist strap thingy over there which I don't use cuz you know I don't but it is a proper surface and you're not going to damage your table or your stuff putting it on here so with that being said I'm going oh she's running me off the screen already holy smokes in front of us we have do you know what this is called my dear a B 450 tomahawk motherboard I was just going for motherboard but some motherboard and so as we go through this I'm just going to talk through it I might overkill it with the talking but you know this is your first time and I sort of default some of the build videos on my channel are two hours long so if I get intense it's cuz its brand new she's absorbing and you all know what that looks like from the live videos she's like process process process process it is processing but what I want to do is over explain it and if at some point you got it just say I got it because I got a building a computer is very much a this is also meant to be an advice video to people watching who have never done it before and they want a longer detailed guide I've done to our builds I've done 20 minute builds there's no six no but the 20 minute builds don't really have enough detail for a first built time builder the two our bill does first time builder so this is meant for a first time builder so that's a good title first time builder first time lucky I love you yes so this is our am for socket right here yep this is different than an intel socket I won't get into the differences here but it just it be aware that what I'm about to show and discuss is AMD not Intel correct this is called a zip or zero insertion force socket and this lever right here lifts sideways and lifts up and it actually opens up the pins it allows the CPU to simply drop into place you do not push a CPU in once the CPU is resting in place you lower it down and then it's simply locked into place there is one corner that is different than all the others so when you line up the CPU simply look for the square corner as opposed to the diagonals you can't do it wrong if you simply look at the CPU and go one corner is not like the others these connectors right here are for an a m3 style cooler or you can unscrew these four screws take the plastic clips off and put it in for style cooler into the back plates that is actually on the board that comes with the board and so that provides direct screw axis so it just depends on the cooler you use as far as the rest of it goes we'll cover that later but I want to talk about the socket first because the first thing we want to do before we put the motherboard in the computer is put the CPU on the motherboard easier to do out here what it's easily accessible rather than in your computer another piece of advice if you don't have a gamer's nexus mod mat if you don't have a quality surface use your motherboard box put your put your motherboard on the box not on the plastic bag in the box put it on the cardboard the cardboard is not conductive it's not the perfect solution but compared to a kitchen table or glass table or some other random surface do it on your motherboard box so just a little bit of tidbit there so as far as this goes I am going to give you the CPU and this is our AMD Athlon 200 GE and I'm going to give you the fish knife box cutter just cut straight to the seal right there we've never opened this now this is not a wraith cooler like the comes with horizon chips it is a Z processor meaning it's the same Zen cores as the rice and chips but the cooler is the older style cooler and you're gonna see here we have installation instructions well you have me so you know you will notice here that we've got the CPU I'm just turning it for the camera there is a sticker here if you want to put it on the front of your case and then you've got AMD Athlon 200 GE yep and I love the fact that it comes in these nice protective holders and if you look in the corner that right there if they can't see it on camera but we all need it see this square right there so that's what's gonna go right here so actually the CPU faces this direction then we're gonna take a look at the cooler this is the kind of cooler that comes with the Athlon so of the round one you've seen is the is the Wraiths cooler the Wraiths coolers you unscrew these four screws take the plastic off and put it directly onto the board they're nicer coolers right this is a 50 or $60 CPU so it's they're cheaper this is just a flat block of aluminum it comes with pre-applied thermal paste we do not have to apply our own thermal paste but if we want to take this off and put it back on we'll need thermal paste it's a one-time use only and then these clips and these clips go here in here so we will use these clips on the board for this and you can see it's a lovely high quality cooler it isn't really but this is a 2 core 4 thread chip so it's fine another thing to think about and this is for first-time builders think about this this is a lovely not black cable that's ugly but whatever you want to think about where it's going to plug and you might think you could plug it in right here but you're not going to because actually your CPU plug is right here so you're actually going to want to put it like this and have this plug in over here does that make sense yeah do you notice this lever right here this is a pull lever designed to pull this up and make it tight so you put this side in first the Wraiths cooler so much than these folks if you have an extra $40 get a rise in 320 200 G instead of the Athlon 200 G yeah I'm seriously I cannot begin to say the cooler is better it's the true for courtship the graphics are twice the speed this is this is too close for threads this is 2 cores 4 thread with Vega 3 and there's mega 8 yeah it's double the performance so I'm gonna I'm going to actually you put the CPU 1 first I was getting ahead of myself now that the CPU will just pop out if you open it like that like this yes the CPU will just go flying out you have to open it like this and you have to lift the top off slowly it's because it's not held on there it will fall right out okay so let's put that back in there even if I demonstrate it I'm gonna put it back together and let you do it grab it by the sides nope the other sides yeah and then take a look at the triangle so there's a square there's something important you have to do in the motherboard what oh yes yeah you can do that you're fine there you go okay and grab the CPU by the edges make sure that the triangle is here yes and you're going to just rest the CPU all these several thousand pins and all those several thousand pins there you go just gently set it there and a little click yeah it does a little thing I'll do that again for the camera just so you can see when you have it lined up if it's not lined up right it actually is sitting you see how about sitting up and if you just shift it but use that this is not prep this is I don't want to use the word pressure it's just gentle just nudge but you notice how it's clearly flushed down now yes lower the lever you've now installed your first CPU that's all there is to it okay please be aware everybody watching Intel and AMD are completely different Lloyd the install so don't watch this and try to install an Intel CPU the same way so and yes because on Intel chips the pins are in the socket and the bottom of the cpu our pads it's reversed and there's pressure levers it's it's completely if it set up completely alright so take your cooler here's my cooler and you want to make sure the cables on the top there you go you want to put this side in first on that clip once the this is an important part once you push it down onto the CPU it needs to stay which means you want to line it up do you see how you're gonna block it see how it pushes across you want to line it up where it needs to go when you push down on this don't lift it up again it's like wobbly I know these clip coolers are awful there you go and then rotate that around yep yep you just installed your first cooler but compared to trying to figure that out on your own is that not easier to have either video or guidance to install that totally because if you're just looking at it you're like oh very flimsy the wraith stealth cooler that comes with the risin 320 200g for forty dollars more you would unscrew those four screws you would simply put it straight down into the holes and you'd simply screw the four screws were straight in it's very simple it's easy seeing the world it's the right the right cool errs are wonderful okay that's much easier but it is what it is hey it's $59 what do you want and so now we're gonna take this and you're gonna plug it into there it only goes one way because if you look on the socket you'll see this piece of plastic a piece of plastic goes between those two grooves I know like that exactly no worries now you notice that this is kind of like this when we put this in the computer you're gonna have a power connector here you'll have case pans here you'll have RAM we'll tie it down and take a look and it could also be repositioned either around here or um you'd think it's more decorative than anything else it's it the idea is that it cools the voltage regulators the problem is a solid piece of metal if it was actually cooling anything it would be made out of fins like the heatsink this doesn't actually get that hot it's a good theory it's mostly decorative to be completely blunt a lot of people look at motherboards and they go well that one doesn't have heat sinks and this does yeah blocks of metal how much heat do you think that's going to conduct all right so what's next alright now we're gonna put the SSD on because again that's easier to install here than when you're in the case this particular motherboard has a single MDOT two slot and that is right here yes the screw is already in place right here so now you need to get your handy dandy screwed well we had all this laid out the other day it's I will go get I will tag you're it tag checks it and we're back after getting some water and some screwdrivers it is in number one 50 millimeter yep number one 50 millimeter so the reason for this is because you need a very small screwdriver to undo this screw if you don't you'll just strip it if you use a normal full sized screwdriver it is magnetic but there's not enough screws there to hold on to there really isn't so that has to be taken off go ahead and open up our SSD now this is a m2 SSD it is not an nvme SSD it is a SATA SSD m2 is an interface not a protocol you can have SATA SSDs that are m2 you can have SATA SSDs that are two and a half inch bend in the plastic away rather than Bend the SSD so I'm gathering that this one will go under here because of that yes it goes in at a 30-degree angle so does it slide like right yes on top of the metal fingers right there on the board nope right there yep right up at the top nope not too much angle 30 degrees yeah yes push it in okay now you notice it's it's of that angle yeah you notice is that we push it down it just does this that's that's normal so we have to screw in it that's why it needs a good screw she said it I did not say that that's tricky this helps with an extra hand it does yes that is one tiny little cash a trick yes I mean I know you're trying to do it but I'll show you a trick this is what finger nails are good for ah see give that a try fingernails fingernails that I don't have well you're the girl and I'm the boy so clearly that's about right I'm not laughing at her yes you are clearly laughing I am amused at the situation there so you got it got it first try now that our SSD is installed the RAM will go in later because it sticks up too much and there's too many of the things that's gonna go in so at this point there's nothing else to put onto the board until it's into our computer yeah so what we're gonna do is we're going to set this we're gonna use the motherboard box for exactly what I said although we're gonna use the back so we'd have a pretty box because the bottom of the board will will punch Moe holes into the box so we don't care about the back salon but we're gonna set that there and then you're gonna pick up the case and you're gonna lay it flat right here oh it's very long doesn't matter which way you like it yes because the camera is up that way so it needs to go that way yes now inside the case and this is going to be true I will get to that inside cases when they're new there's going to be all sorts of accessories that you're going to need to get out first when you buy a case there's usually a box or a bag or something to hide inside that's gonna have all the mounting screws and posts and all the fun stuff and as rogue has already commented she sees it down in there and the easiest way to get it is to reach into the hole and just pull it out it's Christmas and there are screws and and twist ties and if you reach in there you will see now those you can't see them on camera what she's grabbing right there are the front panel connectors the USB 3 connector the power switch reset switch the hard drive LED light so you can't see them but that's what's down there we'll deal with those wants to take the other side off so as rogue takes the plastic stuff off twist ties are wonderful make sure you save these these things are absolutely wonderful you've got a bunch of screws and posts right there if I could go ahead and take your motherboard and scoot it off to the side of it there you go open this up and lay it out right there so we can see what we've got we've got thick ones in this case you've got standoffs you cannot just put the motherboard directly in because it would contact the the back these standoffs are what we need depending upon what motherboard you have will depend upon which standoffs you need if you look right here it's not going to show up too well on camera cause of lighting because we don't have an overhead light but it says ATX micro ATX and mini ITX and if you look here you'll see an A & M and an eye next to some of them you notice there's no I here I TX doesn't go that far if you look down here you'll see only an a because a micro ATX doesn't go that far and you'll see an M here because the micro ATX Cruzan only here ok yep so we have a full sized ATX board so we're going to use the bottom so you're gonna need one two three four five there's one already here six seven you need seven well there's already two there so can you find seven over there okay now there's a variety of ways to do it I don't think they oh they did somebody commented on this on a previous video we have a handy handy tool a ratchet is incredibly useful and we've discussed this and I've shown this on many other videos because it sits right in there and it makes it easy to put on and somebody said why aren't you using the screwed after tool and I'm like what's good after tool and they're like they provide a thing for you to do that so you don't have to have a ratchet oh these things are wonderful I mean if proper tools trying to trying to work on anything physical without the proper tools it sucks get tools get decent tools get magnetic tip screwdrivers get the right small size screwdrivers for cutting off the twist ties get yourself a pair of clippers or I mean you can use scissors but these they're there they're tight they're short they're focused they cut right into it easily kitchen scissors trying to cut those things off so I have been using hang on you have to forgive me I'm 12 years old sorry tested so here's the kicker this if the camera will show it this is designed to let you take a standard screwdriver and put it in here and then that that's because I'm sitting here going there's no way a normal person could use there now I've been building computers a long time I built computers when they didn't include these things yes I've had the wrench or the the socket wrench for so long I never even looked for these and somebody in a previous video said why aren't you using the down on what they include they include one now tech didn't know so rather than use the ratchet which our viewers probably won't have we're going to use the tool that comes with it and so this is where you have to use your fingernails you gotta put your fingers around it to hold on the bottom honey to keep it straight or you'll cross thread that's okay pull then screw didn't hits you all the way flush mm-hm don't break it but Oh careful you're pushing on the metal this metal is not very thick you'll bend this if you push down on it you shouldn't be able to get your fingernail under it yeah you got it perfectly good job do the other seven and I'll stand here me yeah did the other six I was too busy trying to say I'll just sit here and make funny faces at you while you did the other seven but you know then you shot that down by pointing out that there's six more tech the wise and foolish and silly we're having fun building computers is a family good job sweetheart the first computer you build will take you a long time to go through it bit by bit it'll take your time you'll measure everything 27 times you'll be extra super careful I hope you're extra super careful Pentium 4 and even Pentium 3 era we'd have times we'd have 20 computers to build for an office and you just lay all the parts out you have a couple of yeah I think the most we ever built for one company was I remember we did twenty-five for one company but they weren't the dental I think it was 21 or 22 you know what it was it was 20 identical machines but we built 22 of them for two spares and then they had two high-end machines for two people and then they had the server so when you got you've got 22 identical machines you need a couple of eight-foot folding tables and the first one takes a little bit to build but by the time you get to your 10th you're just you're just going crazy okay awesome I do believe they're all installed now yes did you get all of them in I got a rolling awesome now there's something else we have to put in here before we can put the motherboard in place the i/o shield oh yes that would be inside the motherboard box okay well since you told me then we'll definitely do that put it on your mod mat I'm sorry you can move them you you have opposable thumbs oh that's heavy make sure that you have your motherboard manual you will need your motherboard manual now these are online you can get these PDF versions on the website but this is your first computer you won't have a computer to pull it out so we'll set that over here for the moment now if I say nothing at all let's see what she does well there is in fact instructions on how to install it in the manual so I mean you you if you're doing this by yourself a lot of this stuff is either in the quick install guide in the motherboard manual or in the box or something else now you're holding it like this and I want you to look at the cutouts and I want you to look at the motherboard and I want you to tell me if you think that's right yeah because they're down there oh well which way is it gonna go in well it'll have to go in that way Oh that'll have to go on the top so it would have to go that way very good some of the things that we do when we film these are concessions to the camera yes I would never tell somebody to do this when they were actually building it so we're doing this for the camera so see the lip goes on the inside yes nature's collection just snaps into place the corners push to push one corner in the next cool yeah yep there you go and so the headphone jacks there are in the middle of the board and then the USB USB and that is up there and so we will put this back flat again you would do this flat for real but we turned it up so that the overhead would see it now if you look you'll see that the nine posts on the board yeah on the inside the case if you look carefully at the motherboard you'll see the same nine holes on the board and we also want to make sure that this cable is out of the way see input your motherboard in the other thing to think about so they sit on top these posts sit on yeah here's the thing to think about you cannot put the board flat in and then slide it over without scraping it let me demonstrate once I'll hand it back to you and let you do it suggestion and holding the board this section is weaker this section with all of these RAM slots is a little bit stronger ideally you'd hold it here the case doesn't let you you don't really have that choice so when holding it putting your thumb here rather than holding it down here because this is where the weight is so don't hold it down here hold it here okay and do you notice how this sticks out a bit yes and then they stick out yes you have to insert those into the holes but you have to do it at an angle because you can't go flat and over because you'll scrape okay so what you do is there's not a lot of clearance because it's not that big of a case you can also hold it by the by the cooler do you see how I am inserting it into those holes well I can't see because now take a look at the angle of the board yes once you slide those into the holes then you set the board down now that I've shown you got it you've got the board you got the board - very carefully it's also tricky on a desk this tall yes push and hold it you have to hold the board the board has nothing to hold it in place it'll keep sliding that way it it's not locked into anything yes it's in the holes but you have to hold pressure on the board or the board will slide across the posts there's nothing to keep the board from sliding so you need to look where the holes are do not lend up you have to hold it okay and then you got to put these in and then you gonna screw it in alright well that's why I have you is this why you brought your husband does it matter where you put your fresh skirt middle one that's how I was going for the right one I watched him enough yay rogue halfway okay now put all the others in halfway all the others in half way yeah you want to make sure the board's fit in alignment is right everything is straight you want to make sure that the connectors on the back are good nothing's blocking them you want to make sure that just everything is co-brother magnetic screwdriver so much better totally I can't tell you how many screws I lost in cases before I got to make down a screwdriver one of those things is it's like oh that's the best $3.00 so now we've got all the screws partially in place go ahead and tighten them up yeah I'm just making sure that none of the metal pieces are blocking any of the ports you know how that happens sometimes we've had that conversation we've had that conversation I just realized that this be 450 tomahawk has a BIOS flash back button I don't remember that the be 350 had one so folks we are having to cut that again because in the process of looking at her audio make sure it was recording again this is the first time we've tried to do a lot of your record so there's it's it's it's our first time I love you so well she's good at the screws but she's not good at which size screw that she needs anyway there's two different size screws with two different size threads there's small threads and big threads and heads are different size as well I know I used the wrong one you I don't know why you grab the small ones you like the big one silly me yeah yes so it does matter which size screws you take your screws go ahead and use the big ones the big ones it's a motherboard it needs big screws screwdriver oh did I take your screwdriver I'm sorry I didn't steal it it likes me I bought it a drink oh that's much better yes yeah boy sweetheart there is nothing that you have done that I haven't done before myself if any of you watching this do something wrong put the wrong screw and have a problem do not beat yourself up I've done it everyone who's built computers has done it even that guy at the verge did it yes the only thing I will say and the difference between somebody like me who has screwed up many times and that poor gentleman at the verge who screwed up everything that video Sturgis is that after having his errors pointed out to him let's just say he was defensive and didn't learn anything the real challenge is can you go whoops kind of screwed that up how about we fixed that it so it's okay to err is human to ignore your errors is dumb is stupid so don't do that so use the right screw use the right screws I didn't know there was different screws or yes okay so we put the screws in now uh Tech has lost his mind completely I have no idea where we're at on this build so we've put the UM if you're ever confused about what steps to take next it's a good thing to take a step back and go okay inventory time what have I done we've got our case out we took our plastic we took our parts out we got our motherboard we put our CPU on we put our cooler on you put our SSD on our m2 now we wouldn't have done that if we had only two and a half inch SSDs which I'd pick up right now and show you but it's all on the floor alright that's that was my fault so we've got that installed we've got the motherboard installed in we did put the i/o shield in we made sure that the ports are are not blocked you can see right here that all of the ports are visible there's a little bit of a springiness to it because there's some flex pieces but what you want to make sure is that none of the pieces in metal back there are sticking out or blocking any of the ports because that's a big pain in the neck we've got our BIOS flash back but that's a nice feature on a be 450 board you get an HDMI port you've got a DVI pointed to the DVI and SATA HDMI you have a HDMI port you've got a DVI port those are what we're going to plug our monitor into because the HDMI is because we have Vega 3 integrated graphics if we had a rise in 520 600 CPU then you wouldn't you those wouldn't work because there's no integrated graphics on the other CPUs so those are completely non-functional but they're there for CPUs that have integrated graphics we have sound we have USB type-c we have our eat our Gigabit Ethernet that's slow gigabit I know you know I'm a 10 gigabit snob what is this right here that is a ps2 port that is from 1987 when IBM introduced the personal system - in an attempt to regain control because we still use them all these years later there are some devices that want a ps2 port there are some people who still use old ps2 keyboards there are some latency and booties there are a handful of people who want such a port they continue to include it at this point because as far as I know it cost them virtually nothing to put it on there and to be completely blunt there's probably some factory in China with 8 billion of those little pieces of plastic sitting in a warehouse they're sure it's going so they have ps2 ports in any case that's enough now while we have the case up here this is a good chance to point out the power supply the power supply shroud does not come off on this case no what we do is we take those wrong really tight screwdriver nope you do it you're doing everything unscrew those screws for me yes unscrew it's kind of hard to undo that once you've done it you have to do both it stays in there you actually screw the power supply onto that bracket and then drop the whole thing into place so if you look Han if you look one two three you you actually put the power supply on to this and screw this one with the power supply and then you take the whole thing with the power supply and drop it in okay okay so that's how that works okay so what we want to do is we want to take a look in there which the camera is not going to show but you see all those cables yep that's gonna block the power supply so that informs us as to what to do next take the back panel off don't lose those back panel is off so here we are with the back panel of the computer case taken off you can see here the bank of the motherboard through the motherboard an access port you can see the backplate where the CPU is and then we see these lovely long cables which are in the way of several things they're in the way of where the power supply is going to go and you notice that we actually have hidden harddrive trays back here behind the shroud which is not removable and so these pull out the back yeah don't like that design either well most people once they build a computer never touch this stuff here's the thing what you're really gonna put there as hard drives to be honest if you want to go buy yourself a two terabyte or a 4 terabyte hard drive for your Steam library err games by an external USB drive and plug it in it the performance difference I have tested this between running games on an external hard drive that supports modern USB 3.0 or 3.1 standards versus putting it in internally is virtually zero it's it's trivial and there's so much easier just to plug in the hard drive externally I mean you can certainly do it here but if you're not doing that while you build the computer you get a run at it cable you gotta run a power cable you're gonna the whole thing's a pain in the neck just plug an external drive in and be done with it this is a two and a half inch SSD and this is not in the 300 our budget but this was on the Shelf I've used this drive before this is a actually a terrible Drive that I would not recommend anybody buy I know that sounds horrible doesn't it's here it was cheap at the time but it was terrible even a couple years ago when I bought it I've had this drive now for probably I don't know four to three years at this point it's a silicon power s55 now they've they don't make this drive anymore they now make newer drives and yes I built with one of those so the newer silicon drives are better but the ones that look like this with this coloring and s55 yeah these are awful but they've made better one since then but I've seen that with other companies to a number of years ago Kingston made a V Series Drive they rode they were gabsul garbage but here's the kicker the Kingston drives today are very nice the a 400 the u 400 the I've got an nvme Kingston Drive on my i7 8700 K test bench it's great Drive but years ago they sucked but that was then and this is now in times change so you really can't draw a sweeping pattern and say well just because one product from a company sucked means everything they ever make for all time will suck so would I use a modern silicon power drive today yeah if the price is cheap enough when I use this one no that's why we're gonna put it in here it's something to put in this actually installs over here there's a tray on the other side Biffle up the case over where this is going to mount there so we are gonna put nothing there there nothing absolutely zilch zero nothing now we do have internal drives and if we wanted to put an internal hard drive down there we could news flash this isn't actually going to be a computer we use for anything we are building this for the channel we're building this to decorate the value of the machine we're putting this to give Rogo computer to build I am NOT going to be using a toque or four thread machine for anything you know it's not that bad if you're doing email internet access web documents Excel spreadsheets like image editing it's honestly fine you know shifting computer downstairs downstairs we have a shipping computer that's the rise in 520 400 G 4 cores 8 threads I can't hold all my fingers up 3.7 gigahertz it's got Vega 11 graphics it will demolish the CPU in benchmarks and tests I printout UPS shipping labels I do email listings I do what else do I do down there look up stuff oh I checked the tech deals discord I checked the tech deals Twitter while I'm sitting there I loaded in images I take from the digital camera of things do you think that computer would really be any worse for that purpose with this CPU versus a hundred and fifty because the risin 5 2400 G is a $150 CPU this is a $60 CPU this would do just fine do you know why this isn't going down there because we already have the other one because we have a YouTube channel but if I didn't have a YouTube channel this would be an ideal application for that situation because it just doesn't need more than that for what that computer does likewise while this SSD is not great for what I would use extra storage for now the the a data SSD this right here we're kind of interrupting the build here to discuss this what kind of I'd love to teach this is a good SSD this is a good the su 800 from a data this is a good solid mid-range Drive now at the 128 gig drive size it's not the fastest the bigger drives are faster I've tested it there's a video comparing this to the bigger ones on my channel but for what this machine is that's fine and you know they're like 20 25 bucks so this would just be used for storing some pictures and images like I take four pictures for I sell the stuff on eBay people watch these videos and they said what do you do with all your hardware I buy most of the stuff on this channel and we keep some of it we test some of it we've done some giveaways and then we saw some of it on eBay when we're done some people have wondered do I buy stuff somebody commented in the RT X 2060 video the going oh so if you like three of them that means you got three to return back to Newegg right no no first of all if I returned that much stuff to Amazon and Newegg that stopped selling to me they'd actually ban buyers for abusing return privileges second of all that's unethical you're returning you stuff you know why you you just can't keep returning stuff like that and then third I will keep those things for some period of time so I haven't sold any of the r-tx 26 days yet I might not sell them for months I want to use them for some type of tests I'll use one or two of them in builds I'll put one or two of them on my keep at least one for my test bench I dunno maybe I'll sell two or three of them so I'll wait till the next cryptocurrency craze and then we'll sell them for crazy money that's what I did with all those are GTX ten 70s so am I getting off track I'm sorry sorry folks this is supposed to be fun you're hanging out with tech and rogue you all only have to hang out with me for an hour she gets to live with me for her and we're back so we've taken the case off of the desk rogues gonna open up the power supply and show you this epic awesome beast of a power supply I know it's about the power supply just take another box there's the power cable there's the box these are important that's how you screwed in busted cables catch up to so you need to screw this in first okay this is the part that sticks out and it needs to go this way and the reason why it needs to go this way is because that's the bottom of the computer and this pulls in air from the bottom of the computer blows it to the power supply and then blows it out the back this is the rear power switch right there because if you look screw hole screw hole screw hole and screw hole screw holes up yep don't try to screw it into the wrong hole or use the rungs group well the power supplies always come with screws so use the screws that come with the power supplies but if you actually look you'll notice these at the same screws that you screwed the motherboard into the case they are the same we have to be delicate she's gentle they can't just shove it in so rough so now these have to be finger tight yeah and go ahead and undo all that you can undo it once it's in there but then it's a mess that you want to unscrew we're gonna start a drinking game every time we say screw they have to take a drink yeah stick it in there the fan goes to the bottom and then pull the cables off the side and don't let it bite your fingers yeah I'm in screwed I personally prefer the ones that you actually put it in sideways and then screw it into the back of the case but that's me different cases will do this differently yeah and now your power supply is installed and so at this point we're gonna turn the case this way because look at this mess a couple of things this is our 24 pin ATX power connector that's what goes into the motherboard set that aside for the moment one of the nice things about modular power supplies is you only have to plug in the cables you really need but those cost more money this is our CPU power connector and that's what plugs up here into the corner and we know it's our CPU connector because it's an 8 pin connector that splits into 4 plus 4 okay the PCI Express power connectors for the video cards are 6 plus 2 yes so that's that we're doing an inventory to see what we've got first before we go any further this with our lovely Mustard cables this is actually a hikes that's that's twisted and tied well whatever we can deal with that this is a 6 plus 2 and a 6 plus 2 so if we had a video card installed that needed to eight pin connectors for example if you wanted to install a r-tx 20/80 like a wrong strix or something this would give you all the cables you need on the end of one cord what they're saying is that this one cable is capable of delivering 300 watts of power each 6 pin connector is 75 each 8 pin connector is 150 here's what's interesting it really isn't because it's all down to the power supply but I didn't need to worry about that because we're not putting in a graphics card no but this is a teaching moment the 8 pin connector is a ground all it does is tell them is tell the video card that there's an 8 pin plug there ok it doesn't actually do anything all the power either 75 or 150 comes through there and because these are daisy chained basically what it's saying is that the one cable can basically provide 300 watts of power from a 500 watt power supply Wow in truth if you're really gonna plug in an RTX 20 80 a 7 to $800 video card buy a better power supply yeah this is the wrong power supply now as you correctly noted we don't need this we don't have a video card in here I'm not going to put a video card in here we have Vega 3 graphics correct they beat the heck out of int and your grandeur graphics so we'll set that aside for just a minute we'll take a look at some more these this is a three prong connector here these are serial ata power connectors for hard drives and SSDs they plug in just like just like that but not here obviously because they don't even well though the cool thing about SSDs is this doesn't care you wouldn't want to trade a hard drive like this with the computer running the SSD wouldn't care okay um I I don't want to admit it yes but I've built computers where I didn't have a mounting place for an SSD and I just plugged it in and stuck it in the bottom of the computer case it doesn't matter actually I've had them run for years like that it just sits there if it's a desktop that you never move and it quite literally sits in the corner under your desk and no one touches it it really doesn't matter so we'll take that out very gently over there so we can plug in three drives which we're not going to do oh we already did that one this is another three plug connector so we could plug six drives in here drives by the way don't use a lot of power most us this these use between two to five watts of power at full load not idle hard drives might a really old bad terrible hard drive might use 10 on a bad day hard drives are not big power users this they still keep including these these are collectively known as molex characters these are not all X connectors by the way everybody calls the molex connectors these are not but molex connectors were not evenly shaped on both sides they were square on one end and rounded on the other molex was a trademarked name and it was a short term standard back in the in the dinosaur days these I cannot remember off the top of my head what they're called but everybody calls the molex connectors because they look really similar to what a real molex connector was these would be for old-school hard drives 10 to 15 years ago or older old-school CD and DVD drives from 10 years or older this is a floppy drive power connector but this is actually a three and a half inch floppy this is not what a five and a quarter inch floppy would have used the small floppy these this this continues to be included just because why not and four backwards and I'm sure there's a factory in China that has 318 billion of these connector city you'd been somewhere and they're like we have to get our money's worth and use them all cable management yes first of all we don't need all of these connectors if we want to put that two and a half inch SATA SSD and we're gonna put it in partly to show everybody how to do it we don't need both of these cables so we're gonna tie one off and actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to wrap it around I'll let you get the next one I'm gonna wrap it around and we'll take our zip tie and we'll just do that and this is where these come in really handy because they're short and they're sweet and they get the job done easily yeah this is just going to be stuffed in here never to be seen again okay now this one we'll need for the drive we will never use this cable so I'm going to give a zip tie to rogue I want you to fold it and fold it and fold it until you can't fold it anymore zip it off like that sure there you go it's a zip tie if you've never used a zip tie well it's pull track very um oh that's okay it went to the trash pile stuff it down in there and we'll never see it again because remember what the power supply the intake air cuz power supply needs cooling air comes in the bottom comes out the back nothing here is hurting the power supply there's no air flow issues there's no it's the that will never be seen again now we do need this one we will need this if we ever want to plug a video card in I don't plan to but I want to make a point we have a premium other port here that could easily take a rise in seven CPU if we want to upgrade it we will eventually want to put video card well I would tie it off because we have plenty of zip ties and what I would do is I would tie it off and stick it in this hole just separate from those because this way you see the cable and if you if you upgrade your CPU the cable will be here you can just pull it out and stick it through this slot so I would tie it I would I would zip tie it and I would just stuff it down in there okay the other benefit to zip tying it is you get less banging and less chance of it unfolding and going where you don't want it to now of course zip tying it there would block harddrive access if we're gonna put our drives in but we'll never put hard drives in to be blunt if we ever upgrade this machine to arisin seven I would replace the m-dot to drive or the one terabyte probably Samsung you know SSD and that would be the drive and I would replace this with another 1 terabyte drive and be done with it so you know yeah that's fine could you sit sir and I would do just that you can actually stuff it in with another option if you wanted to is to put it in there I'm this never gonna bother anything this we will need but we're gonna leave it out here for the moment because it's smaller do your small cables last now we're gonna do the big kibbles first and if you reach through here you'll feel I mean the camera can't see it but it is right he that's where your 24-pin ATX connector is you see all these loops right here yeah zip tie points we're gonna take this and we're gonna stick it through like the Val so you why in a minute and then we're gonna turn the computer over see the clip right here do you see how these go together like that yep that doesn't clip that just rests you're gonna hold that together I'm showing you first clip around like this this is a very stiff cable it's gonna go in here if you push you run the risk of breaking the board the motherboard is supported here and here you've got to put your fingers behind here so I'm gonna give you this I got the cable you got the cables it's arts straight in support the back of the board yeah and then keep pushing basically push the board of the cable together push up from the bottom of the board yes the tables up a bit higher I realized the angles hard for you I can't get the click don't push down without pushing up look evidence it's hard with the table up this on yellow of the table a bit would you have a power table it's just oh there we go stop magic that's tricky you have to take it out and do it again no this power connector design is 25 ish years old it badly needs a replacement two or three smaller connectors that were easy to slide right in would be a much better design that big cable is awful so when this happens to you take it out and put it back in no actually what it was as both ends were in and the center section wasn't quite in so I had to push it on the center section and that clipped in place bring the table back up so now that that's in place we're going to turn the computer back over see this right here yeah that's you don't have to tie it off much in fact if you just tie if we bring it down here do you see how this part is is is further down yeah if we bring it down here just tie it off there it won't go any more anywhere now we have the CPU power connector boy it sure makes a cable mess doesn't it here's the trick to the CPU power connector it has to go through this hole right here so you better bring it underneath and bring it I know this is what the tie offs on the side here for the clip is on the top see see this yes so it goes around I didn't design it why do you think I like my big cases what engineer needs a slap how many times if I said I love my nice big roomy cases yeah do you see why no absolutely and things that just work well you would choose things that just go together yes but if you work for a computer assembly company they pick all the cheapest components that's not my job okay this is already pissing me off this is actually the easy part I'm all arms I can't lose that me to help you my hairs in the way you have lovely hair I need to be able to get in here - I used Rick yes ok just like that there you go how about we just leave that for the time being there we go um it's all just it's all in the wrist yeah you had to I twisted turned and once I got the angle I could go straight down and they clip right on those clip-on easily when you get the angle right yeah but now that we've got that on now we're gonna turn now if we were not building this for the camera I would do this with the computer sitting up normal and just work on both sides I wouldn't be turning it over for those of you watching me turning it I'm doing this for the camera I would not advise you as she how this is on top of the motherboard these are the voltage regulators these are the RAM modules this is why I want you to tie it off all three all three of them all three of them getting into those that's yeah I know it sucks and not in the good way if women did this we would so do this differently is this designed by man this is designed by man he wasn't thinking I'm just saying girl designed computers that actually work well know the reason why it takes so long his I heard that didn't I heard that it's good design isn't it all right do anyone a little know if you want to but no so that is secure and that's not going to get in the way of the motherboard this is secure yep so now that that's secure this is going to be I know it's kind of floppy this is going to be for our drive which is right over here for the moment I'm gonna stick it through here although we might move it to here I just want to get it on the way and the reason is we're not so we're not untying these ones then generally no often you don't have to untie them because what they're gonna do is they're either gonna go through here or up through there's no access point they're gonna have to go through here we may actually this this this one may end up going through through here we'll have to see these cables now need to go through here I'll show you what we do with them in a minute we'll return over but started get cleaned up over here look at managing cables is a third of building a whole computer figuring out how to wire everything is by far home where everything has to go and you're backwards and and especially if you're not used to doing it yes now I've never built in this case but after a while you build enough cases you get the idea it doesn't have shoppe inches I like them the cases that are 20 bucks cheaper than this have the awful interior metal I will never build in one of those again and it's Pataca I've reached a point in my life I've built hundreds and hundreds of computers in those I will never do it again if we look in here you're you're going to see this connection well there's an access point right here um well we'll have to think about this you have these are SATA port data cables on our SATA drive we have power that's where the data plugs in that is for this big cable that's the USB three front panel connector that's for these three connectors this is the HD audio right here and this unfortunately plugs in here which is awful this provides the headphone and microphone jack for the front note to everybody watching if you have trouble running the HD audio cable and you never are going to use your headphone and microphone jacks on the front you don't have to run this it if you could just tie it off and leave it in here and don't know where it doesn't work well yeah and then three years later you got to plug it in going my computer and then these are the freaking front look in the thing to do the thing they plug in USB USB hope it's not there if it's there I'm going to complain it's jus it is there oh okay we should actually run it through there okay I would love to show you what's about to happen but short of having a camera person or setting it up on a tripod at a 45 degree angle that won't capture it with our hands in the way so we're gonna cut yeah to having this finished yeah and with a bunch of running around changing the height of the table and playing around with cables we have the I'm going to tilt it for the overhead camera we have the HD audio connector in we have the front panel audio connectors in which is really hard to film we have the USB three front panel connector running all through the bottom here it just is what it is so take your time look at the motherboard manual the instructions are in there the pin outs the place to plug it is in there don't be afraid to like plug it in and make sure that the the missing pins because a lot of the connectors are like it missing one blocked pin double check your connection to make sure cuz the USB connectors the front panel connector plug and the HD audio plug all have the same ten pins but the missing pin is in a different spot yes so they all look the same down there take your time measure three times cut half so with those out of the way you can see that we have our serial ata data cable this is by the way why I'd like to give a shout out for the fact that I would like motherboards to just start coming with like three m dot two slots and I would like to just go all n dot to everything because how easy was that okay now you're going to take your screwdriver which you have and you're going to undo this screw right here yes this is the mounting plate for the two and a half inch drive this is our high quality super performance absolutely amazing silicon power serial ata 3s 55 pull it off there are four screw holes if you look carefully at your drive you have four screw holes those can sometimes work but you should actually have smaller screws look how this is mounted because this is how you pulled it off with these two pins in there the cables on the bottom so the drive goes upside down and so now that we've turned it over now we need small screws that go into here those are usable but there's actually even smaller screws you're the boss girl you're the queen you're rogue storm queen of the Seas link to your highly active twitch channel down in the video description below don't you busy doing this I know we streamed a lot on Twitch both of us both of our twitch channels are in the video describe what do you get this in here we streamed a lot over the Christmas holiday together we aren't streaming as much these days because we've have YouTube videos to make you can be a full-time twitch streamer or you can be a full-time youtuber you really can't be a full-time both tubers streamers twitch twitch tubers uu streamers I don't know it made sense in my head for those of you watching this we started filming this just after dinner and it's starting to get past rogues bedtime the kids are being very quiet down stir those of you who have kids will understand what we just said put it in like that before you put it in it'll be easier to plug the cables in before this is a serial ata data cable there are clips on both ends and if you look at the connectors there's L shapes there's L shapes on the power connectors as well yes so they only go in one way right so we have six different connectors to pick from however first of all if it's the only drive in the system it actually doesn't matter generally you should put it in whatever number one is but it generally doesn't matter however on most motherboards this included when you put a m dot to drive in you disable a certain number of ports because there are not enough HSI Alain's to handle all which is technically an Intel term but whatever it is so you have to get the manual you have to go to the chart oh you want me to go to the manual not sure where it is I don't know where it is I've hardly looked at this thing you know you're looking for I dunno what I'm looking for important SATA 5 and SATA 6 ports will be unavailable when installing an MDOT 2 here I'll turn this over for the camera SATA 5 and SATA 6 ports will be unavailable when installing it him got to device in the m dot 2 slot now the question is which ones are there probably the ones on the bottom oh they're not so the ones on the bottom these two down here is set of 1 & 2 SATA 5 & 6 are on the top can I make a suggestion let's run it to this port because we can run the cable down back it up and we don't have to put anything here to make it ugly because we want our computer to be adorable pretty you mean the big black industrial thing where's the pink and purple so you're going to take this these are bi-directional by the way it doesn't matter which where you put them in so it's gonna go in like that so plug that into yep and then plug the end of the power cable in careful push harder without bending the trigger board yes so as we make lots of noise without banging around the computer now stick it in we'll run the cables yep it's a handy way to install a drive now let's put that in there and let's turn the computer over now we pull all the excess through carefully there we go and we can pull this excess through notice how the way it's connected basically there's nothing on the other side except we have this thing flopping about and then this needs to run will actually run it through there and my apologies for not showing this so now we've plugged this out of cable into the front motherboard it goes into one of those ports no big deal but this leaves the bulk of the cable back here what Rogue is going to do is to find a way to tie it off without cinching this too much because you don't want to damage it that's where your data is transmitting and then this folded well it could get folded but you can ask yourself where you want to fold it and tie it off or around here why don't you tie it just like that it's an art not a science I mean you can do it any way you want for hands helps for hands is easier than to here six hands is even better but eight is enough notice this this I'll have to just kind of go like that to avoid being hit by the back panel we have to ask ourselves is our build complete now we can put the back panel on right now but is everything in that we need CPU cooler fan cysteine and two RAM RAM but we don't the rain doesn't go on this side No so I'm gonna get the back panel I can let's put that on all right and I'm gonna hand rogue of the panel and she is going to put it on with the back panel put on it now the only thing left is the system ram now this system respect to take the rammer this system is SPECT with eight gigabytes of RAM at the $300 price point I don't have it gigabytes of RAM so we have 16 gigs of RAM so it's an extra $40 so we're gonna go ahead and put both of them in and the way you do that is these it does generally you want to put them from the furthest away from the CPU first it varies but it doesn't matter on an am for board but they need to alternate so they're in dual channel mode these snap like this yep look on the socket you'll notice there's a notch in the middle and the notch is not in the middle it's offset so if you look at the random you'll notice that it's offset the RAM goes straight down in and clicks on both sides at the same time same way you take out the MDOT to bend the plastic not the RAM not in the middle there you go that's actually really pretty ring I'll show this to everybody this is actually fairly budget RAM from g.skill but that's kind of nice it's just a sticker but hey it really is budget RAM that really is a sticker this is ddr4 3000 CL 16 it really is budget Ram usually ddr4 3000 will be CL 15 but this was cheap so so - I'll do the first one you do the second one see the knotch yes it goes in the two guides on either side and then we simply push down on both sides straight down like that push down on both sides push more pushing you've just installed 16 gigs of RAM well eight gigs of RAM I did the other 8 but um that's the one place in here where pressure is required that in the end the RAM you have to push well nicer sticks of RAM with nice big fat heat sinks on them what have you something to push against these are kind of cheap but did you know for something like this it makes sense now this is where a graphics card would go for installing one but we're not but we put that cable back there so let's do a quick quick summary here we got our case power supply successfully installed we have our motherboard in we have our m2 SSD in we have our SSD RC psst our CPU installed we have our cooler installed and it is plugged in and the cable is up there it's not going anywhere we've got our CPU power connector plugged in it will not boot without that we have our RAM installed mainboard ata ATX power installed we have our secondary SSD installed with the cables plugged in plugged into our working verified SATA port and then power we've got our front panel USB connectors we've got a front panel main connectors for power switch etc front panel audio connectors plugged in but there's one thing left that we have not done this rear fan is not plugged in now there are no front fans in this case but if you look here well tilt it towards the camera there are railing mounting points for mounting fans if you wanted to put more fans into this case you could certainly put more fans here so there's a fan but that's the power supply that's the primary supply fan so this is an exhaust fan this is an exhaust fan passive air will come in through these side vents you just fill the system and this will blow the hot air because the CPU will have hot air floating around it this sucks it out and blows it off the back now if you if you have a substantially powerful video card this is the wrong case if you were buying an RTF 20 80 it's the wrong power supply it's the wrong case frankly it's the wrong everything build a balanced machine buying nicer everything as you upgrade one thing to be nice so this remember we move this out of the way earlier notice they put a handy-dandy connector right there stick it in nope just give a little bit of a code there you go it only used this three of them where this is and with the twist tie it's it's actually just fine the way it is so this is the exhaust fan that's plugged in our system build is complete all that is left at this point is to put the side panel back on and then to plug it in we will need a USB thumb drive with Windows 10 on it in order to install windows because there is nothing on this drive we have a video on the channel on how to make that drive very easy you just need a four gigabyte or larger USB thumb drive make a Windows 10 install drive and you're ready to go what do you think yippee thank you all so much for being here with tech and this has been a fun expired for you've had fun you've had fun but you're probably ready to be done so how did you enjoy your first build we originally we talked that your first build was gonna be like a 9-iron or thread ripper or something are you glad that we started with this instead oh yeah very much is this an easier build to start with so if viewers are watching and they've never built a computer in their life should they try some $3,000 build on their first go I mean they could could lots of patience but you're also using very expensive parts this is a much cheaper learning experience it's it's putting I will say the putting together an i-9 is not substantially different than this except that everything is just fancier the power supply will have cables to plug into it so you just use dedicated cables you'll have probably more SSDs installed you'll have a nicer cooler maybe a liquid cooler or a very large tower cooler that you have to put a different backplate on the board you might have more RAM installed you have a video card to put into place the CPU will install a bit different if it's an I 9 vs or the forever airport obviously a bit different you help me with that beyond that the motherboard the i/o shield the front panel connectors really isn't that different it does not matter and I'm including this year because I want to say this to the audience it doesn't matter whether you building a $300 or $3,000 PC what we just did is largely the same except for colorful differences yes you might install several drives you might install four sticks of RAM you'll put a video card in you'll have to run the power cable to it if you're really exotic you might put in two video cards there will be additional fans to connect you might have RGB lighting to hookup but these are just small additional steps putting the posts in getting the i/o shield in place putting the motherboard in making sure that your CPUs and making sure that the the 24-pin ATX power cable is the same whether this is the thread Ripper or an Athlon the the CPU power connector appear if it's at the red ripper you'll probably have two of them but they plug in the same you just you'll just have an extra one so don't feel that you can't build an uber machine if you want to because rogue is going to build she's excited she is going to build some pretty awesome stuff on the

will see you next timehello and welcome to tech deals on tech and this is broke we are building an AMD Athlon 200 GE $300 budget computer now this is the second video in this series I've already done a parts overview link to that down in the video description below along with all the parts both in the $300 version of the build as well as the upgraded version that we're going to show you today but you really can build a complete $300 AMD Athlon 200 GE with Vega 3 graphics that will play games without a dedicated graphics card case power supply Ram SSD motherboard the whole nine yards or at least eight and a half of them for $300 now those links down in the description below do support us and we did buy most of the stuff that you see here on the desk so if you find this video series interesting informative funny useful or whatever please use those when shopping it really does help now I am going to be doing a lot of talking because I talk very well I'm gonna be concentrating Road is going to be guided this is my first bill so it's like that is correct Rogue is gonna be building this computer and I'm gonna be providing guidance have you ever built a computer before no any kind of computer no ever even 20 years ago yeah so this is your first time putting a CPU onto a motherboard Ram the motherboard into a case connecting to a power supply yep putting an SSD on yep turning it on and going I was gonna say abracadabra but thankfully this isn't magic and if any of you are watching this video thinking man building the computer sounds like fun or it's interesting where I'd like to give it a try but I'm nervous or scared because I've never done it before it's like Lego it's putting parts together that's all it is they're all you've seen me do it many times I have these are standardized parts that just simply snap and plug together they screw into the same spots they're all designed to fit you know an ATX board fits into ATX cases fits with an ATX power ATX board in a ITX case no well if you get a dremel and solve the bottom off maybe fold it in half I'm sure put it on the side of the top oh well cut a hole in the top of the case and have it stick out there we go at least know that she knows lots of things can you believe she's you've watched me build how many computers now a lot so she's seen me build them I've seen yes well she started watching and then usually about three minutes in she finds something interesting on her iPhone don't like it isn't oh thank you my love now for those of you who are curious rogue is my lovely beautiful wife of nearly 15 years now she deserves a medal for that achievement she is the mother of our three beautiful children which you have seen featured on our channel and she's been in some other videos chair videos the green screen review the e3 videos that we did she was in the first remove you a hint o Jawa stabilized camera videos that we did you did an outside one she's been in some of the floatplane exclusive videos that are over on floatplane link to floatplane down in the video description below floatplane is a subscriber only media service run by linus media group yes that linus it's three dollars a month at least when we're recording this and in addition to early access no YouTube ads you also have there's about 20 exclusive videos over there that aren't on YouTube the main reviews the graphics card reviews the build those will be on both YouTube and floatplane but there are some fun ones including do you remember our trip to see a Tesla at the Tesla store I did and we went to the Microsoft Store we did and we've done a variety of other excursions out of the office and house they're only on flow plane it the outside game the real pixels the the VR out there is amazing hang on I hear it's ray-traced out there including you did a walk about with the remove you walking around outside did I remember that that's over on floatplane everybody should go subscribe it directly supports the channel it does and that money helps us stay independent and give you our views on everything and buy this stuff and show it to you and for a couple of bucks a month it's greatly appreciated and with that entire preamble out of the way do you have anything you'd like to add before we get to building this awesome computer do you know what I love about this computer what the price well I do like the price I love the value I love the fact that you can put together an actual functional useful computer for three hundred dollars now you weren't here when any of the parts overview I did that very quickly to make that a short sweet video but when I was growing I was there I watched you would yep you were over there you weren't in the video no I wasn't watching the video don't know that you were sitting and listening to the whole thing you give me a thumbs up I did give you a thumbs up I gave you two thumbs up I appreciate that it wasn't that long ago that even putting together a basic computer for a thousand dollars was a challenge and here we are with a three hundred dollar computer and it's not just a computer it's an actual useful computer with a boot SSD with eight gigabytes of RAM a 500 watt power supply for future expansion a full-size ATX B 450 board that's overclockable has four RAM slots and this board is in the $300 budget yes frankly the board is probably overkill for this budget and you could do like 250 or 275 or the cheaper board but this gives you expansion ability the am4 socket you could go to a rise in seven with this yeah I would absolutely put a rise in seven in this board yep so it's a great starter system it is and it's a nice case it's not one of those cheap $20 you know cases where you'll cut your hand on the metal not what you've seen those good 300 bucks Wow I love deals tell everybody how much I love deals oh I can find deals in a 300 hour computer and I can find deals in a 3,000 dollar computer it's very true right now she's probably sitting here going I thought we were building a computer yes but it gives everybody a chance with this is our we've done live streams together yes and we've we've done some other ancillary videos yes but to the best of my knowledge this is the first time that we've stood up in front of the camera both wearing microphones yep there are two different audio recorders and we're gonna put them together in post and I hope the audio is decent and if you're listening to this and the audio is not great or it sounds off we'll post process as much as we can we're working on the audio we have it we have a separate wireless adapter for this to make them both go in but that's for the next video this is the first real tech deals video we have done together first first I don't know about all of you in the audience but I am height to have my wife next to me rather than just sitting over there or off doing something else I've always wanted a a partnership in my business with my wife and you've done a variety of other things including oh I don't know have three children which you know I hear is a little bit of a work it's almost like a job hang and I'll just I'll just move over this way before I get so hot no it really is I wouldn't trade jobs with her for anything because I've seen that job and I don't want it alright so with that fun nough sout of the way hopefully you guys are all having fun sitting back relax get your cup of coffee Tech doesn't have us coffee we need Jeeves to go get us coffee hey we have three children we should train them to get us cos hey hang on oh they're not coming anyway okay enough nonsense you can see all the parts on the desk here we got the motherboard we've got the RAM SSDs power supply little move this out of the way here to give us room here now we have been recording this entire time although most of this will be front cam we won't turn it on until this point but we have been recording with the overhead camera now the challenge to this is we're gonna have to put us in the corner and the overhead camera which you can see right here the full screen because there's really no white space left to put the camera and we're using the big G in the middle of our gamers Nexus mat as our focal point for the overhead Steve right thank ya thanks to Steve from gamers Nexus for sending this very nice mod man these are not inexpensive but would you not agree that the material is way above the the mouse pads and the felt pads and we have used it a lot these are a hundred dollars hundred bucks but it is an anti-static surface designed not to be conductive it does have the little wrist strap thingy over there which I don't use cuz you know I don't but it is a proper surface and you're not going to damage your table or your stuff putting it on here so with that being said I'm going oh she's running me off the screen already holy smokes in front of us we have do you know what this is called my dear a B 450 tomahawk motherboard I was just going for motherboard but some motherboard and so as we go through this I'm just going to talk through it I might overkill it with the talking but you know this is your first time and I sort of default some of the build videos on my channel are two hours long so if I get intense it's cuz its brand new she's absorbing and you all know what that looks like from the live videos she's like process process process process it is processing but what I want to do is over explain it and if at some point you got it just say I got it because I got a building a computer is very much a this is also meant to be an advice video to people watching who have never done it before and they want a longer detailed guide I've done to our builds I've done 20 minute builds there's no six no but the 20 minute builds don't really have enough detail for a first built time builder the two our bill does first time builder so this is meant for a first time builder so that's a good title first time builder first time lucky I love you yes so this is our am for socket right here yep this is different than an intel socket I won't get into the differences here but it just it be aware that what I'm about to show and discuss is AMD not Intel correct this is called a zip or zero insertion force socket and this lever right here lifts sideways and lifts up and it actually opens up the pins it allows the CPU to simply drop into place you do not push a CPU in once the CPU is resting in place you lower it down and then it's simply locked into place there is one corner that is different than all the others so when you line up the CPU simply look for the square corner as opposed to the diagonals you can't do it wrong if you simply look at the CPU and go one corner is not like the others these connectors right here are for an a m3 style cooler or you can unscrew these four screws take the plastic clips off and put it in for style cooler into the back plates that is actually on the board that comes with the board and so that provides direct screw axis so it just depends on the cooler you use as far as the rest of it goes we'll cover that later but I want to talk about the socket first because the first thing we want to do before we put the motherboard in the computer is put the CPU on the motherboard easier to do out here what it's easily accessible rather than in your computer another piece of advice if you don't have a gamer's nexus mod mat if you don't have a quality surface use your motherboard box put your put your motherboard on the box not on the plastic bag in the box put it on the cardboard the cardboard is not conductive it's not the perfect solution but compared to a kitchen table or glass table or some other random surface do it on your motherboard box so just a little bit of tidbit there so as far as this goes I am going to give you the CPU and this is our AMD Athlon 200 GE and I'm going to give you the fish knife box cutter just cut straight to the seal right there we've never opened this now this is not a wraith cooler like the comes with horizon chips it is a Z processor meaning it's the same Zen cores as the rice and chips but the cooler is the older style cooler and you're gonna see here we have installation instructions well you have me so you know you will notice here that we've got the CPU I'm just turning it for the camera there is a sticker here if you want to put it on the front of your case and then you've got AMD Athlon 200 GE yep and I love the fact that it comes in these nice protective holders and if you look in the corner that right there if they can't see it on camera but we all need it see this square right there so that's what's gonna go right here so actually the CPU faces this direction then we're gonna take a look at the cooler this is the kind of cooler that comes with the Athlon so of the round one you've seen is the is the Wraiths cooler the Wraiths coolers you unscrew these four screws take the plastic off and put it directly onto the board they're nicer coolers right this is a 50 or $60 CPU so it's they're cheaper this is just a flat block of aluminum it comes with pre-applied thermal paste we do not have to apply our own thermal paste but if we want to take this off and put it back on we'll need thermal paste it's a one-time use only and then these clips and these clips go here in here so we will use these clips on the board for this and you can see it's a lovely high quality cooler it isn't really but this is a 2 core 4 thread chip so it's fine another thing to think about and this is for first-time builders think about this this is a lovely not black cable that's ugly but whatever you want to think about where it's going to plug and you might think you could plug it in right here but you're not going to because actually your CPU plug is right here so you're actually going to want to put it like this and have this plug in over here does that make sense yeah do you notice this lever right here this is a pull lever designed to pull this up and make it tight so you put this side in first the Wraiths cooler so much than these folks if you have an extra $40 get a rise in 320 200 G instead of the Athlon 200 G yeah I'm seriously I cannot begin to say the cooler is better it's the true for courtship the graphics are twice the speed this is this is too close for threads this is 2 cores 4 thread with Vega 3 and there's mega 8 yeah it's double the performance so I'm gonna I'm going to actually you put the CPU 1 first I was getting ahead of myself now that the CPU will just pop out if you open it like that like this yes the CPU will just go flying out you have to open it like this and you have to lift the top off slowly it's because it's not held on there it will fall right out okay so let's put that back in there even if I demonstrate it I'm gonna put it back together and let you do it grab it by the sides nope the other sides yeah and then take a look at the triangle so there's a square there's something important you have to do in the motherboard what oh yes yeah you can do that you're fine there you go okay and grab the CPU by the edges make sure that the triangle is here yes and you're going to just rest the CPU all these several thousand pins and all those several thousand pins there you go just gently set it there and a little click yeah it does a little thing I'll do that again for the camera just so you can see when you have it lined up if it's not lined up right it actually is sitting you see how about sitting up and if you just shift it but use that this is not prep this is I don't want to use the word pressure it's just gentle just nudge but you notice how it's clearly flushed down now yes lower the lever you've now installed your first CPU that's all there is to it okay please be aware everybody watching Intel and AMD are completely different Lloyd the install so don't watch this and try to install an Intel CPU the same way so and yes because on Intel chips the pins are in the socket and the bottom of the cpu our pads it's reversed and there's pressure levers it's it's completely if it set up completely alright so take your cooler here's my cooler and you want to make sure the cables on the top there you go you want to put this side in first on that clip once the this is an important part once you push it down onto the CPU it needs to stay which means you want to line it up do you see how you're gonna block it see how it pushes across you want to line it up where it needs to go when you push down on this don't lift it up again it's like wobbly I know these clip coolers are awful there you go and then rotate that around yep yep you just installed your first cooler but compared to trying to figure that out on your own is that not easier to have either video or guidance to install that totally because if you're just looking at it you're like oh very flimsy the wraith stealth cooler that comes with the risin 320 200g for forty dollars more you would unscrew those four screws you would simply put it straight down into the holes and you'd simply screw the four screws were straight in it's very simple it's easy seeing the world it's the right the right cool errs are wonderful okay that's much easier but it is what it is hey it's $59 what do you want and so now we're gonna take this and you're gonna plug it into there it only goes one way because if you look on the socket you'll see this piece of plastic a piece of plastic goes between those two grooves I know like that exactly no worries now you notice that this is kind of like this when we put this in the computer you're gonna have a power connector here you'll have case pans here you'll have RAM we'll tie it down and take a look and it could also be repositioned either around here or um you'd think it's more decorative than anything else it's it the idea is that it cools the voltage regulators the problem is a solid piece of metal if it was actually cooling anything it would be made out of fins like the heatsink this doesn't actually get that hot it's a good theory it's mostly decorative to be completely blunt a lot of people look at motherboards and they go well that one doesn't have heat sinks and this does yeah blocks of metal how much heat do you think that's going to conduct all right so what's next alright now we're gonna put the SSD on because again that's easier to install here than when you're in the case this particular motherboard has a single MDOT two slot and that is right here yes the screw is already in place right here so now you need to get your handy dandy screwed well we had all this laid out the other day it's I will go get I will tag you're it tag checks it and we're back after getting some water and some screwdrivers it is in number one 50 millimeter yep number one 50 millimeter so the reason for this is because you need a very small screwdriver to undo this screw if you don't you'll just strip it if you use a normal full sized screwdriver it is magnetic but there's not enough screws there to hold on to there really isn't so that has to be taken off go ahead and open up our SSD now this is a m2 SSD it is not an nvme SSD it is a SATA SSD m2 is an interface not a protocol you can have SATA SSDs that are m2 you can have SATA SSDs that are two and a half inch bend in the plastic away rather than Bend the SSD so I'm gathering that this one will go under here because of that yes it goes in at a 30-degree angle so does it slide like right yes on top of the metal fingers right there on the board nope right there yep right up at the top nope not too much angle 30 degrees yeah yes push it in okay now you notice it's it's of that angle yeah you notice is that we push it down it just does this that's that's normal so we have to screw in it that's why it needs a good screw she said it I did not say that that's tricky this helps with an extra hand it does yes that is one tiny little cash a trick yes I mean I know you're trying to do it but I'll show you a trick this is what finger nails are good for ah see give that a try fingernails fingernails that I don't have well you're the girl and I'm the boy so clearly that's about right I'm not laughing at her yes you are clearly laughing I am amused at the situation there so you got it got it first try now that our SSD is installed the RAM will go in later because it sticks up too much and there's too many of the things that's gonna go in so at this point there's nothing else to put onto the board until it's into our computer yeah so what we're gonna do is we're going to set this we're gonna use the motherboard box for exactly what I said although we're gonna use the back so we'd have a pretty box because the bottom of the board will will punch Moe holes into the box so we don't care about the back salon but we're gonna set that there and then you're gonna pick up the case and you're gonna lay it flat right here oh it's very long doesn't matter which way you like it yes because the camera is up that way so it needs to go that way yes now inside the case and this is going to be true I will get to that inside cases when they're new there's going to be all sorts of accessories that you're going to need to get out first when you buy a case there's usually a box or a bag or something to hide inside that's gonna have all the mounting screws and posts and all the fun stuff and as rogue has already commented she sees it down in there and the easiest way to get it is to reach into the hole and just pull it out it's Christmas and there are screws and and twist ties and if you reach in there you will see now those you can't see them on camera what she's grabbing right there are the front panel connectors the USB 3 connector the power switch reset switch the hard drive LED light so you can't see them but that's what's down there we'll deal with those wants to take the other side off so as rogue takes the plastic stuff off twist ties are wonderful make sure you save these these things are absolutely wonderful you've got a bunch of screws and posts right there if I could go ahead and take your motherboard and scoot it off to the side of it there you go open this up and lay it out right there so we can see what we've got we've got thick ones in this case you've got standoffs you cannot just put the motherboard directly in because it would contact the the back these standoffs are what we need depending upon what motherboard you have will depend upon which standoffs you need if you look right here it's not going to show up too well on camera cause of lighting because we don't have an overhead light but it says ATX micro ATX and mini ITX and if you look here you'll see an A & M and an eye next to some of them you notice there's no I here I TX doesn't go that far if you look down here you'll see only an a because a micro ATX doesn't go that far and you'll see an M here because the micro ATX Cruzan only here ok yep so we have a full sized ATX board so we're going to use the bottom so you're gonna need one two three four five there's one already here six seven you need seven well there's already two there so can you find seven over there okay now there's a variety of ways to do it I don't think they oh they did somebody commented on this on a previous video we have a handy handy tool a ratchet is incredibly useful and we've discussed this and I've shown this on many other videos because it sits right in there and it makes it easy to put on and somebody said why aren't you using the screwed after tool and I'm like what's good after tool and they're like they provide a thing for you to do that so you don't have to have a ratchet oh these things are wonderful I mean if proper tools trying to trying to work on anything physical without the proper tools it sucks get tools get decent tools get magnetic tip screwdrivers get the right small size screwdrivers for cutting off the twist ties get yourself a pair of clippers or I mean you can use scissors but these they're there they're tight they're short they're focused they cut right into it easily kitchen scissors trying to cut those things off so I have been using hang on you have to forgive me I'm 12 years old sorry tested so here's the kicker this if the camera will show it this is designed to let you take a standard screwdriver and put it in here and then that that's because I'm sitting here going there's no way a normal person could use there now I've been building computers a long time I built computers when they didn't include these things yes I've had the wrench or the the socket wrench for so long I never even looked for these and somebody in a previous video said why aren't you using the down on what they include they include one now tech didn't know so rather than use the ratchet which our viewers probably won't have we're going to use the tool that comes with it and so this is where you have to use your fingernails you gotta put your fingers around it to hold on the bottom honey to keep it straight or you'll cross thread that's okay pull then screw didn't hits you all the way flush mm-hm don't break it but Oh careful you're pushing on the metal this metal is not very thick you'll bend this if you push down on it you shouldn't be able to get your fingernail under it yeah you got it perfectly good job do the other seven and I'll stand here me yeah did the other six I was too busy trying to say I'll just sit here and make funny faces at you while you did the other seven but you know then you shot that down by pointing out that there's six more tech the wise and foolish and silly we're having fun building computers is a family good job sweetheart the first computer you build will take you a long time to go through it bit by bit it'll take your time you'll measure everything 27 times you'll be extra super careful I hope you're extra super careful Pentium 4 and even Pentium 3 era we'd have times we'd have 20 computers to build for an office and you just lay all the parts out you have a couple of yeah I think the most we ever built for one company was I remember we did twenty-five for one company but they weren't the dental I think it was 21 or 22 you know what it was it was 20 identical machines but we built 22 of them for two spares and then they had two high-end machines for two people and then they had the server so when you got you've got 22 identical machines you need a couple of eight-foot folding tables and the first one takes a little bit to build but by the time you get to your 10th you're just you're just going crazy okay awesome I do believe they're all installed now yes did you get all of them in I got a rolling awesome now there's something else we have to put in here before we can put the motherboard in place the i/o shield oh yes that would be inside the motherboard box okay well since you told me then we'll definitely do that put it on your mod mat I'm sorry you can move them you you have opposable thumbs oh that's heavy make sure that you have your motherboard manual you will need your motherboard manual now these are online you can get these PDF versions on the website but this is your first computer you won't have a computer to pull it out so we'll set that over here for the moment now if I say nothing at all let's see what she does well there is in fact instructions on how to install it in the manual so I mean you you if you're doing this by yourself a lot of this stuff is either in the quick install guide in the motherboard manual or in the box or something else now you're holding it like this and I want you to look at the cutouts and I want you to look at the motherboard and I want you to tell me if you think that's right yeah because they're down there oh well which way is it gonna go in well it'll have to go in that way Oh that'll have to go on the top so it would have to go that way very good some of the things that we do when we film these are concessions to the camera yes I would never tell somebody to do this when they were actually building it so we're doing this for the camera so see the lip goes on the inside yes nature's collection just snaps into place the corners push to push one corner in the next cool yeah yep there you go and so the headphone jacks there are in the middle of the board and then the USB USB and that is up there and so we will put this back flat again you would do this flat for real but we turned it up so that the overhead would see it now if you look you'll see that the nine posts on the board yeah on the inside the case if you look carefully at the motherboard you'll see the same nine holes on the board and we also want to make sure that this cable is out of the way see input your motherboard in the other thing to think about so they sit on top these posts sit on yeah here's the thing to think about you cannot put the board flat in and then slide it over without scraping it let me demonstrate once I'll hand it back to you and let you do it suggestion and holding the board this section is weaker this section with all of these RAM slots is a little bit stronger ideally you'd hold it here the case doesn't let you you don't really have that choice so when holding it putting your thumb here rather than holding it down here because this is where the weight is so don't hold it down here hold it here okay and do you notice how this sticks out a bit yes and then they stick out yes you have to insert those into the holes but you have to do it at an angle because you can't go flat and over because you'll scrape okay so what you do is there's not a lot of clearance because it's not that big of a case you can also hold it by the by the cooler do you see how I am inserting it into those holes well I can't see because now take a look at the angle of the board yes once you slide those into the holes then you set the board down now that I've shown you got it you've got the board you got the board - very carefully it's also tricky on a desk this tall yes push and hold it you have to hold the board the board has nothing to hold it in place it'll keep sliding that way it it's not locked into anything yes it's in the holes but you have to hold pressure on the board or the board will slide across the posts there's nothing to keep the board from sliding so you need to look where the holes are do not lend up you have to hold it okay and then you got to put these in and then you gonna screw it in alright well that's why I have you is this why you brought your husband does it matter where you put your fresh skirt middle one that's how I was going for the right one I watched him enough yay rogue halfway okay now put all the others in halfway all the others in half way yeah you want to make sure the board's fit in alignment is right everything is straight you want to make sure that the connectors on the back are good nothing's blocking them you want to make sure that just everything is co-brother magnetic screwdriver so much better totally I can't tell you how many screws I lost in cases before I got to make down a screwdriver one of those things is it's like oh that's the best $3.00 so now we've got all the screws partially in place go ahead and tighten them up yeah I'm just making sure that none of the metal pieces are blocking any of the ports you know how that happens sometimes we've had that conversation we've had that conversation I just realized that this be 450 tomahawk has a BIOS flash back button I don't remember that the be 350 had one so folks we are having to cut that again because in the process of looking at her audio make sure it was recording again this is the first time we've tried to do a lot of your record so there's it's it's it's our first time I love you so well she's good at the screws but she's not good at which size screw that she needs anyway there's two different size screws with two different size threads there's small threads and big threads and heads are different size as well I know I used the wrong one you I don't know why you grab the small ones you like the big one silly me yeah yes so it does matter which size screws you take your screws go ahead and use the big ones the big ones it's a motherboard it needs big screws screwdriver oh did I take your screwdriver I'm sorry I didn't steal it it likes me I bought it a drink oh that's much better yes yeah boy sweetheart there is nothing that you have done that I haven't done before myself if any of you watching this do something wrong put the wrong screw and have a problem do not beat yourself up I've done it everyone who's built computers has done it even that guy at the verge did it yes the only thing I will say and the difference between somebody like me who has screwed up many times and that poor gentleman at the verge who screwed up everything that video Sturgis is that after having his errors pointed out to him let's just say he was defensive and didn't learn anything the real challenge is can you go whoops kind of screwed that up how about we fixed that it so it's okay to err is human to ignore your errors is dumb is stupid so don't do that so use the right screw use the right screws I didn't know there was different screws or yes okay so we put the screws in now uh Tech has lost his mind completely I have no idea where we're at on this build so we've put the UM if you're ever confused about what steps to take next it's a good thing to take a step back and go okay inventory time what have I done we've got our case out we took our plastic we took our parts out we got our motherboard we put our CPU on we put our cooler on you put our SSD on our m2 now we wouldn't have done that if we had only two and a half inch SSDs which I'd pick up right now and show you but it's all on the floor alright that's that was my fault so we've got that installed we've got the motherboard installed in we did put the i/o shield in we made sure that the ports are are not blocked you can see right here that all of the ports are visible there's a little bit of a springiness to it because there's some flex pieces but what you want to make sure is that none of the pieces in metal back there are sticking out or blocking any of the ports because that's a big pain in the neck we've got our BIOS flash back but that's a nice feature on a be 450 board you get an HDMI port you've got a DVI pointed to the DVI and SATA HDMI you have a HDMI port you've got a DVI port those are what we're going to plug our monitor into because the HDMI is because we have Vega 3 integrated graphics if we had a rise in 520 600 CPU then you wouldn't you those wouldn't work because there's no integrated graphics on the other CPUs so those are completely non-functional but they're there for CPUs that have integrated graphics we have sound we have USB type-c we have our eat our Gigabit Ethernet that's slow gigabit I know you know I'm a 10 gigabit snob what is this right here that is a ps2 port that is from 1987 when IBM introduced the personal system - in an attempt to regain control because we still use them all these years later there are some devices that want a ps2 port there are some people who still use old ps2 keyboards there are some latency and booties there are a handful of people who want such a port they continue to include it at this point because as far as I know it cost them virtually nothing to put it on there and to be completely blunt there's probably some factory in China with 8 billion of those little pieces of plastic sitting in a warehouse they're sure it's going so they have ps2 ports in any case that's enough now while we have the case up here this is a good chance to point out the power supply the power supply shroud does not come off on this case no what we do is we take those wrong really tight screwdriver nope you do it you're doing everything unscrew those screws for me yes unscrew it's kind of hard to undo that once you've done it you have to do both it stays in there you actually screw the power supply onto that bracket and then drop the whole thing into place so if you look Han if you look one two three you you actually put the power supply on to this and screw this one with the power supply and then you take the whole thing with the power supply and drop it in okay okay so that's how that works okay so what we want to do is we want to take a look in there which the camera is not going to show but you see all those cables yep that's gonna block the power supply so that informs us as to what to do next take the back panel off don't lose those back panel is off so here we are with the back panel of the computer case taken off you can see here the bank of the motherboard through the motherboard an access port you can see the backplate where the CPU is and then we see these lovely long cables which are in the way of several things they're in the way of where the power supply is going to go and you notice that we actually have hidden harddrive trays back here behind the shroud which is not removable and so these pull out the back yeah don't like that design either well most people once they build a computer never touch this stuff here's the thing what you're really gonna put there as hard drives to be honest if you want to go buy yourself a two terabyte or a 4 terabyte hard drive for your Steam library err games by an external USB drive and plug it in it the performance difference I have tested this between running games on an external hard drive that supports modern USB 3.0 or 3.1 standards versus putting it in internally is virtually zero it's it's trivial and there's so much easier just to plug in the hard drive externally I mean you can certainly do it here but if you're not doing that while you build the computer you get a run at it cable you gotta run a power cable you're gonna the whole thing's a pain in the neck just plug an external drive in and be done with it this is a two and a half inch SSD and this is not in the 300 our budget but this was on the Shelf I've used this drive before this is a actually a terrible Drive that I would not recommend anybody buy I know that sounds horrible doesn't it's here it was cheap at the time but it was terrible even a couple years ago when I bought it I've had this drive now for probably I don't know four to three years at this point it's a silicon power s55 now they've they don't make this drive anymore they now make newer drives and yes I built with one of those so the newer silicon drives are better but the ones that look like this with this coloring and s55 yeah these are awful but they've made better one since then but I've seen that with other companies to a number of years ago Kingston made a V Series Drive they rode they were gabsul garbage but here's the kicker the Kingston drives today are very nice the a 400 the u 400 the I've got an nvme Kingston Drive on my i7 8700 K test bench it's great Drive but years ago they sucked but that was then and this is now in times change so you really can't draw a sweeping pattern and say well just because one product from a company sucked means everything they ever make for all time will suck so would I use a modern silicon power drive today yeah if the price is cheap enough when I use this one no that's why we're gonna put it in here it's something to put in this actually installs over here there's a tray on the other side Biffle up the case over where this is going to mount there so we are gonna put nothing there there nothing absolutely zilch zero nothing now we do have internal drives and if we wanted to put an internal hard drive down there we could news flash this isn't actually going to be a computer we use for anything we are building this for the channel we're building this to decorate the value of the machine we're putting this to give Rogo computer to build I am NOT going to be using a toque or four thread machine for anything you know it's not that bad if you're doing email internet access web documents Excel spreadsheets like image editing it's honestly fine you know shifting computer downstairs downstairs we have a shipping computer that's the rise in 520 400 G 4 cores 8 threads I can't hold all my fingers up 3.7 gigahertz it's got Vega 11 graphics it will demolish the CPU in benchmarks and tests I printout UPS shipping labels I do email listings I do what else do I do down there look up stuff oh I checked the tech deals discord I checked the tech deals Twitter while I'm sitting there I loaded in images I take from the digital camera of things do you think that computer would really be any worse for that purpose with this CPU versus a hundred and fifty because the risin 5 2400 G is a $150 CPU this is a $60 CPU this would do just fine do you know why this isn't going down there because we already have the other one because we have a YouTube channel but if I didn't have a YouTube channel this would be an ideal application for that situation because it just doesn't need more than that for what that computer does likewise while this SSD is not great for what I would use extra storage for now the the a data SSD this right here we're kind of interrupting the build here to discuss this what kind of I'd love to teach this is a good SSD this is a good the su 800 from a data this is a good solid mid-range Drive now at the 128 gig drive size it's not the fastest the bigger drives are faster I've tested it there's a video comparing this to the bigger ones on my channel but for what this machine is that's fine and you know they're like 20 25 bucks so this would just be used for storing some pictures and images like I take four pictures for I sell the stuff on eBay people watch these videos and they said what do you do with all your hardware I buy most of the stuff on this channel and we keep some of it we test some of it we've done some giveaways and then we saw some of it on eBay when we're done some people have wondered do I buy stuff somebody commented in the RT X 2060 video the going oh so if you like three of them that means you got three to return back to Newegg right no no first of all if I returned that much stuff to Amazon and Newegg that stopped selling to me they'd actually ban buyers for abusing return privileges second of all that's unethical you're returning you stuff you know why you you just can't keep returning stuff like that and then third I will keep those things for some period of time so I haven't sold any of the r-tx 26 days yet I might not sell them for months I want to use them for some type of tests I'll use one or two of them in builds I'll put one or two of them on my keep at least one for my test bench I dunno maybe I'll sell two or three of them so I'll wait till the next cryptocurrency craze and then we'll sell them for crazy money that's what I did with all those are GTX ten 70s so am I getting off track I'm sorry sorry folks this is supposed to be fun you're hanging out with tech and rogue you all only have to hang out with me for an hour she gets to live with me for her and we're back so we've taken the case off of the desk rogues gonna open up the power supply and show you this epic awesome beast of a power supply I know it's about the power supply just take another box there's the power cable there's the box these are important that's how you screwed in busted cables catch up to so you need to screw this in first okay this is the part that sticks out and it needs to go this way and the reason why it needs to go this way is because that's the bottom of the computer and this pulls in air from the bottom of the computer blows it to the power supply and then blows it out the back this is the rear power switch right there because if you look screw hole screw hole screw hole and screw hole screw holes up yep don't try to screw it into the wrong hole or use the rungs group well the power supplies always come with screws so use the screws that come with the power supplies but if you actually look you'll notice these at the same screws that you screwed the motherboard into the case they are the same we have to be delicate she's gentle they can't just shove it in so rough so now these have to be finger tight yeah and go ahead and undo all that you can undo it once it's in there but then it's a mess that you want to unscrew we're gonna start a drinking game every time we say screw they have to take a drink yeah stick it in there the fan goes to the bottom and then pull the cables off the side and don't let it bite your fingers yeah I'm in screwed I personally prefer the ones that you actually put it in sideways and then screw it into the back of the case but that's me different cases will do this differently yeah and now your power supply is installed and so at this point we're gonna turn the case this way because look at this mess a couple of things this is our 24 pin ATX power connector that's what goes into the motherboard set that aside for the moment one of the nice things about modular power supplies is you only have to plug in the cables you really need but those cost more money this is our CPU power connector and that's what plugs up here into the corner and we know it's our CPU connector because it's an 8 pin connector that splits into 4 plus 4 okay the PCI Express power connectors for the video cards are 6 plus 2 yes so that's that we're doing an inventory to see what we've got first before we go any further this with our lovely Mustard cables this is actually a hikes that's that's twisted and tied well whatever we can deal with that this is a 6 plus 2 and a 6 plus 2 so if we had a video card installed that needed to eight pin connectors for example if you wanted to install a r-tx 20/80 like a wrong strix or something this would give you all the cables you need on the end of one cord what they're saying is that this one cable is capable of delivering 300 watts of power each 6 pin connector is 75 each 8 pin connector is 150 here's what's interesting it really isn't because it's all down to the power supply but I didn't need to worry about that because we're not putting in a graphics card no but this is a teaching moment the 8 pin connector is a ground all it does is tell them is tell the video card that there's an 8 pin plug there ok it doesn't actually do anything all the power either 75 or 150 comes through there and because these are daisy chained basically what it's saying is that the one cable can basically provide 300 watts of power from a 500 watt power supply Wow in truth if you're really gonna plug in an RTX 20 80 a 7 to $800 video card buy a better power supply yeah this is the wrong power supply now as you correctly noted we don't need this we don't have a video card in here I'm not going to put a video card in here we have Vega 3 graphics correct they beat the heck out of int and your grandeur graphics so we'll set that aside for just a minute we'll take a look at some more these this is a three prong connector here these are serial ata power connectors for hard drives and SSDs they plug in just like just like that but not here obviously because they don't even well though the cool thing about SSDs is this doesn't care you wouldn't want to trade a hard drive like this with the computer running the SSD wouldn't care okay um I I don't want to admit it yes but I've built computers where I didn't have a mounting place for an SSD and I just plugged it in and stuck it in the bottom of the computer case it doesn't matter actually I've had them run for years like that it just sits there if it's a desktop that you never move and it quite literally sits in the corner under your desk and no one touches it it really doesn't matter so we'll take that out very gently over there so we can plug in three drives which we're not going to do oh we already did that one this is another three plug connector so we could plug six drives in here drives by the way don't use a lot of power most us this these use between two to five watts of power at full load not idle hard drives might a really old bad terrible hard drive might use 10 on a bad day hard drives are not big power users this they still keep including these these are collectively known as molex characters these are not all X connectors by the way everybody calls the molex connectors these are not but molex connectors were not evenly shaped on both sides they were square on one end and rounded on the other molex was a trademarked name and it was a short term standard back in the in the dinosaur days these I cannot remember off the top of my head what they're called but everybody calls the molex connectors because they look really similar to what a real molex connector was these would be for old-school hard drives 10 to 15 years ago or older old-school CD and DVD drives from 10 years or older this is a floppy drive power connector but this is actually a three and a half inch floppy this is not what a five and a quarter inch floppy would have used the small floppy these this this continues to be included just because why not and four backwards and I'm sure there's a factory in China that has 318 billion of these connector city you'd been somewhere and they're like we have to get our money's worth and use them all cable management yes first of all we don't need all of these connectors if we want to put that two and a half inch SATA SSD and we're gonna put it in partly to show everybody how to do it we don't need both of these cables so we're gonna tie one off and actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to wrap it around I'll let you get the next one I'm gonna wrap it around and we'll take our zip tie and we'll just do that and this is where these come in really handy because they're short and they're sweet and they get the job done easily yeah this is just going to be stuffed in here never to be seen again okay now this one we'll need for the drive we will never use this cable so I'm going to give a zip tie to rogue I want you to fold it and fold it and fold it until you can't fold it anymore zip it off like that sure there you go it's a zip tie if you've never used a zip tie well it's pull track very um oh that's okay it went to the trash pile stuff it down in there and we'll never see it again because remember what the power supply the intake air cuz power supply needs cooling air comes in the bottom comes out the back nothing here is hurting the power supply there's no air flow issues there's no it's the that will never be seen again now we do need this one we will need this if we ever want to plug a video card in I don't plan to but I want to make a point we have a premium other port here that could easily take a rise in seven CPU if we want to upgrade it we will eventually want to put video card well I would tie it off because we have plenty of zip ties and what I would do is I would tie it off and stick it in this hole just separate from those because this way you see the cable and if you if you upgrade your CPU the cable will be here you can just pull it out and stick it through this slot so I would tie it I would I would zip tie it and I would just stuff it down in there okay the other benefit to zip tying it is you get less banging and less chance of it unfolding and going where you don't want it to now of course zip tying it there would block harddrive access if we're gonna put our drives in but we'll never put hard drives in to be blunt if we ever upgrade this machine to arisin seven I would replace the m-dot to drive or the one terabyte probably Samsung you know SSD and that would be the drive and I would replace this with another 1 terabyte drive and be done with it so you know yeah that's fine could you sit sir and I would do just that you can actually stuff it in with another option if you wanted to is to put it in there I'm this never gonna bother anything this we will need but we're gonna leave it out here for the moment because it's smaller do your small cables last now we're gonna do the big kibbles first and if you reach through here you'll feel I mean the camera can't see it but it is right he that's where your 24-pin ATX connector is you see all these loops right here yeah zip tie points we're gonna take this and we're gonna stick it through like the Val so you why in a minute and then we're gonna turn the computer over see the clip right here do you see how these go together like that yep that doesn't clip that just rests you're gonna hold that together I'm showing you first clip around like this this is a very stiff cable it's gonna go in here if you push you run the risk of breaking the board the motherboard is supported here and here you've got to put your fingers behind here so I'm gonna give you this I got the cable you got the cables it's arts straight in support the back of the board yeah and then keep pushing basically push the board of the cable together push up from the bottom of the board yes the tables up a bit higher I realized the angles hard for you I can't get the click don't push down without pushing up look evidence it's hard with the table up this on yellow of the table a bit would you have a power table it's just oh there we go stop magic that's tricky you have to take it out and do it again no this power connector design is 25 ish years old it badly needs a replacement two or three smaller connectors that were easy to slide right in would be a much better design that big cable is awful so when this happens to you take it out and put it back in no actually what it was as both ends were in and the center section wasn't quite in so I had to push it on the center section and that clipped in place bring the table back up so now that that's in place we're going to turn the computer back over see this right here yeah that's you don't have to tie it off much in fact if you just tie if we bring it down here do you see how this part is is is further down yeah if we bring it down here just tie it off there it won't go any more anywhere now we have the CPU power connector boy it sure makes a cable mess doesn't it here's the trick to the CPU power connector it has to go through this hole right here so you better bring it underneath and bring it I know this is what the tie offs on the side here for the clip is on the top see see this yes so it goes around I didn't design it why do you think I like my big cases what engineer needs a slap how many times if I said I love my nice big roomy cases yeah do you see why no absolutely and things that just work well you would choose things that just go together yes but if you work for a computer assembly company they pick all the cheapest components that's not my job okay this is already pissing me off this is actually the easy part I'm all arms I can't lose that me to help you my hairs in the way you have lovely hair I need to be able to get in here - I used Rick yes ok just like that there you go how about we just leave that for the time being there we go um it's all just it's all in the wrist yeah you had to I twisted turned and once I got the angle I could go straight down and they clip right on those clip-on easily when you get the angle right yeah but now that we've got that on now we're gonna turn now if we were not building this for the camera I would do this with the computer sitting up normal and just work on both sides I wouldn't be turning it over for those of you watching me turning it I'm doing this for the camera I would not advise you as she how this is on top of the motherboard these are the voltage regulators these are the RAM modules this is why I want you to tie it off all three all three of them all three of them getting into those that's yeah I know it sucks and not in the good way if women did this we would so do this differently is this designed by man this is designed by man he wasn't thinking I'm just saying girl designed computers that actually work well know the reason why it takes so long his I heard that didn't I heard that it's good design isn't it all right do anyone a little know if you want to but no so that is secure and that's not going to get in the way of the motherboard this is secure yep so now that that's secure this is going to be I know it's kind of floppy this is going to be for our drive which is right over here for the moment I'm gonna stick it through here although we might move it to here I just want to get it on the way and the reason is we're not so we're not untying these ones then generally no often you don't have to untie them because what they're gonna do is they're either gonna go through here or up through there's no access point they're gonna have to go through here we may actually this this this one may end up going through through here we'll have to see these cables now need to go through here I'll show you what we do with them in a minute we'll return over but started get cleaned up over here look at managing cables is a third of building a whole computer figuring out how to wire everything is by far home where everything has to go and you're backwards and and especially if you're not used to doing it yes now I've never built in this case but after a while you build enough cases you get the idea it doesn't have shoppe inches I like them the cases that are 20 bucks cheaper than this have the awful interior metal I will never build in one of those again and it's Pataca I've reached a point in my life I've built hundreds and hundreds of computers in those I will never do it again if we look in here you're you're going to see this connection well there's an access point right here um well we'll have to think about this you have these are SATA port data cables on our SATA drive we have power that's where the data plugs in that is for this big cable that's the USB three front panel connector that's for these three connectors this is the HD audio right here and this unfortunately plugs in here which is awful this provides the headphone and microphone jack for the front note to everybody watching if you have trouble running the HD audio cable and you never are going to use your headphone and microphone jacks on the front you don't have to run this it if you could just tie it off and leave it in here and don't know where it doesn't work well yeah and then three years later you got to plug it in going my computer and then these are the freaking front look in the thing to do the thing they plug in USB USB hope it's not there if it's there I'm going to complain it's jus it is there oh okay we should actually run it through there okay I would love to show you what's about to happen but short of having a camera person or setting it up on a tripod at a 45 degree angle that won't capture it with our hands in the way so we're gonna cut yeah to having this finished yeah and with a bunch of running around changing the height of the table and playing around with cables we have the I'm going to tilt it for the overhead camera we have the HD audio connector in we have the front panel audio connectors in which is really hard to film we have the USB three front panel connector running all through the bottom here it just is what it is so take your time look at the motherboard manual the instructions are in there the pin outs the place to plug it is in there don't be afraid to like plug it in and make sure that the the missing pins because a lot of the connectors are like it missing one blocked pin double check your connection to make sure cuz the USB connectors the front panel connector plug and the HD audio plug all have the same ten pins but the missing pin is in a different spot yes so they all look the same down there take your time measure three times cut half so with those out of the way you can see that we have our serial ata data cable this is by the way why I'd like to give a shout out for the fact that I would like motherboards to just start coming with like three m dot two slots and I would like to just go all n dot to everything because how easy was that okay now you're going to take your screwdriver which you have and you're going to undo this screw right here yes this is the mounting plate for the two and a half inch drive this is our high quality super performance absolutely amazing silicon power serial ata 3s 55 pull it off there are four screw holes if you look carefully at your drive you have four screw holes those can sometimes work but you should actually have smaller screws look how this is mounted because this is how you pulled it off with these two pins in there the cables on the bottom so the drive goes upside down and so now that we've turned it over now we need small screws that go into here those are usable but there's actually even smaller screws you're the boss girl you're the queen you're rogue storm queen of the Seas link to your highly active twitch channel down in the video description below don't you busy doing this I know we streamed a lot on Twitch both of us both of our twitch channels are in the video describe what do you get this in here we streamed a lot over the Christmas holiday together we aren't streaming as much these days because we've have YouTube videos to make you can be a full-time twitch streamer or you can be a full-time youtuber you really can't be a full-time both tubers streamers twitch twitch tubers uu streamers I don't know it made sense in my head for those of you watching this we started filming this just after dinner and it's starting to get past rogues bedtime the kids are being very quiet down stir those of you who have kids will understand what we just said put it in like that before you put it in it'll be easier to plug the cables in before this is a serial ata data cable there are clips on both ends and if you look at the connectors there's L shapes there's L shapes on the power connectors as well yes so they only go in one way right so we have six different connectors to pick from however first of all if it's the only drive in the system it actually doesn't matter generally you should put it in whatever number one is but it generally doesn't matter however on most motherboards this included when you put a m dot to drive in you disable a certain number of ports because there are not enough HSI Alain's to handle all which is technically an Intel term but whatever it is so you have to get the manual you have to go to the chart oh you want me to go to the manual not sure where it is I don't know where it is I've hardly looked at this thing you know you're looking for I dunno what I'm looking for important SATA 5 and SATA 6 ports will be unavailable when installing an MDOT 2 here I'll turn this over for the camera SATA 5 and SATA 6 ports will be unavailable when installing it him got to device in the m dot 2 slot now the question is which ones are there probably the ones on the bottom oh they're not so the ones on the bottom these two down here is set of 1 & 2 SATA 5 & 6 are on the top can I make a suggestion let's run it to this port because we can run the cable down back it up and we don't have to put anything here to make it ugly because we want our computer to be adorable pretty you mean the big black industrial thing where's the pink and purple so you're going to take this these are bi-directional by the way it doesn't matter which where you put them in so it's gonna go in like that so plug that into yep and then plug the end of the power cable in careful push harder without bending the trigger board yes so as we make lots of noise without banging around the computer now stick it in we'll run the cables yep it's a handy way to install a drive now let's put that in there and let's turn the computer over now we pull all the excess through carefully there we go and we can pull this excess through notice how the way it's connected basically there's nothing on the other side except we have this thing flopping about and then this needs to run will actually run it through there and my apologies for not showing this so now we've plugged this out of cable into the front motherboard it goes into one of those ports no big deal but this leaves the bulk of the cable back here what Rogue is going to do is to find a way to tie it off without cinching this too much because you don't want to damage it that's where your data is transmitting and then this folded well it could get folded but you can ask yourself where you want to fold it and tie it off or around here why don't you tie it just like that it's an art not a science I mean you can do it any way you want for hands helps for hands is easier than to here six hands is even better but eight is enough notice this this I'll have to just kind of go like that to avoid being hit by the back panel we have to ask ourselves is our build complete now we can put the back panel on right now but is everything in that we need CPU cooler fan cysteine and two RAM RAM but we don't the rain doesn't go on this side No so I'm gonna get the back panel I can let's put that on all right and I'm gonna hand rogue of the panel and she is going to put it on with the back panel put on it now the only thing left is the system ram now this system respect to take the rammer this system is SPECT with eight gigabytes of RAM at the $300 price point I don't have it gigabytes of RAM so we have 16 gigs of RAM so it's an extra $40 so we're gonna go ahead and put both of them in and the way you do that is these it does generally you want to put them from the furthest away from the CPU first it varies but it doesn't matter on an am for board but they need to alternate so they're in dual channel mode these snap like this yep look on the socket you'll notice there's a notch in the middle and the notch is not in the middle it's offset so if you look at the random you'll notice that it's offset the RAM goes straight down in and clicks on both sides at the same time same way you take out the MDOT to bend the plastic not the RAM not in the middle there you go that's actually really pretty ring I'll show this to everybody this is actually fairly budget RAM from g.skill but that's kind of nice it's just a sticker but hey it really is budget RAM that really is a sticker this is ddr4 3000 CL 16 it really is budget Ram usually ddr4 3000 will be CL 15 but this was cheap so so - I'll do the first one you do the second one see the knotch yes it goes in the two guides on either side and then we simply push down on both sides straight down like that push down on both sides push more pushing you've just installed 16 gigs of RAM well eight gigs of RAM I did the other 8 but um that's the one place in here where pressure is required that in the end the RAM you have to push well nicer sticks of RAM with nice big fat heat sinks on them what have you something to push against these are kind of cheap but did you know for something like this it makes sense now this is where a graphics card would go for installing one but we're not but we put that cable back there so let's do a quick quick summary here we got our case power supply successfully installed we have our motherboard in we have our m2 SSD in we have our SSD RC psst our CPU installed we have our cooler installed and it is plugged in and the cable is up there it's not going anywhere we've got our CPU power connector plugged in it will not boot without that we have our RAM installed mainboard ata ATX power installed we have our secondary SSD installed with the cables plugged in plugged into our working verified SATA port and then power we've got our front panel USB connectors we've got a front panel main connectors for power switch etc front panel audio connectors plugged in but there's one thing left that we have not done this rear fan is not plugged in now there are no front fans in this case but if you look here well tilt it towards the camera there are railing mounting points for mounting fans if you wanted to put more fans into this case you could certainly put more fans here so there's a fan but that's the power supply that's the primary supply fan so this is an exhaust fan this is an exhaust fan passive air will come in through these side vents you just fill the system and this will blow the hot air because the CPU will have hot air floating around it this sucks it out and blows it off the back now if you if you have a substantially powerful video card this is the wrong case if you were buying an RTF 20 80 it's the wrong power supply it's the wrong case frankly it's the wrong everything build a balanced machine buying nicer everything as you upgrade one thing to be nice so this remember we move this out of the way earlier notice they put a handy-dandy connector right there stick it in nope just give a little bit of a code there you go it only used this three of them where this is and with the twist tie it's it's actually just fine the way it is so this is the exhaust fan that's plugged in our system build is complete all that is left at this point is to put the side panel back on and then to plug it in we will need a USB thumb drive with Windows 10 on it in order to install windows because there is nothing on this drive we have a video on the channel on how to make that drive very easy you just need a four gigabyte or larger USB thumb drive make a Windows 10 install drive and you're ready to go what do you think yippee thank you all so much for being here with tech and this has been a fun expired for you've had fun you've had fun but you're probably ready to be done so how did you enjoy your first build we originally we talked that your first build was gonna be like a 9-iron or thread ripper or something are you glad that we started with this instead oh yeah very much is this an easier build to start with so if viewers are watching and they've never built a computer in their life should they try some $3,000 build on their first go I mean they could could lots of patience but you're also using very expensive parts this is a much cheaper learning experience it's it's putting I will say the putting together an i-9 is not substantially different than this except that everything is just fancier the power supply will have cables to plug into it so you just use dedicated cables you'll have probably more SSDs installed you'll have a nicer cooler maybe a liquid cooler or a very large tower cooler that you have to put a different backplate on the board you might have more RAM installed you have a video card to put into place the CPU will install a bit different if it's an I 9 vs or the forever airport obviously a bit different you help me with that beyond that the motherboard the i/o shield the front panel connectors really isn't that different it does not matter and I'm including this year because I want to say this to the audience it doesn't matter whether you building a $300 or $3,000 PC what we just did is largely the same except for colorful differences yes you might install several drives you might install four sticks of RAM you'll put a video card in you'll have to run the power cable to it if you're really exotic you might put in two video cards there will be additional fans to connect you might have RGB lighting to hookup but these are just small additional steps putting the posts in getting the i/o shield in place putting the motherboard in making sure that your CPUs and making sure that the the 24-pin ATX power cable is the same whether this is the thread Ripper or an Athlon the the CPU power connector appear if it's at the red ripper you'll probably have two of them but they plug in the same you just you'll just have an extra one so don't feel that you can't build an uber machine if you want to because rogue is going to build she's excited she is going to build some pretty awesome stuff on the
