Stunning $2000 Gaming PC Build 2024! 😍 [ft. Corsair 2500X & Ryzen 7800X3D]
**Building with the EVGA 4070 Super: A Power Supply Upgrade**
As we begin this build, one of the most notable upgrades is the power supply. This particular power supply is black, which contrasts with the rest of the build, which I've chosen to be a different color. However, that's not the only thing new about this power supply. I've added some cable extensions from Easy DIY AB, which are available for purchase below.
These cable extensions will finish off the build nicely and provide all the necessary connections for the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, and other components. The main cables include the power connector for the graphics card, a six-pin PCI power connector for the IQ link goodies, and some wiring to complete the setup. I've plugged everything in via IQ link, which simplifies the process of connecting all the different devices together.
The Hub on the rear of the case is another notable feature. It's actually quite simple, with just two wires powering up the radiator at the top and a fan at the rear, as well as fans at the front side area. The only slight negative to note is that this area up the top has had to accommodate a cable connection for the fans. I might try to find a longer cable and run it from the left-hand side of the fans around the rear to make it more hidden.
The Hub itself is cool, as it consolidates all the different bits related to the cooler and plugs in other devices. However, its location at the front of the case isn't ideal when mounting the tubes there. There's only one way to boot up this system, but I'll be showing you a montage soon enough.
For now, let's give it a jump and see if it comes online. Ah, yes! The fans are spinning, and we've got a logo on the cooler. It's starting to come together nicely. There are just a few tweaks left to do before we're finished.
**Performance Testing**
One of the most exciting things about this build is its performance. I've tested this system in a wide range of titles, so let's start with Call of Duty: Warzone. At 1440p high settings with DLSS enabled and set to the Quality preset, we achieved an average of 173 FPS on the first test, with 90-99% of those frames being consistent.
The second test in Modern Warfare 3 showed slightly better performance, with an average of 190 FPS on high settings. Again, these results were not only higher but also more consistent than before. Both Call of Duties look fantastic on this system and the 4070 Super really shows its press as a great 1440p GPU.
Next up is Starfield, which has been widely regarded as being very poorly optimized and difficult to run at high settings. However, with 1440p high settings and everything tuned up to high, we achieved an impressive 94 FPS on average. This is not ideal for a game like Starfield, but it's still nice to see.
The next test was in Hogwarts Legacy, another 1440p high setting title. At this point, you might expect the performance to drop off, but the build managed to maintain an impressive 138 FPS on average at 1440p with everything tuned up to high.
However, if we want to get more out of our system, we can dial things back a bit and test at 1080p competitive settings. With everything set to low except for the render distance, which we pushed quite far in this build, we achieved an astonishing 292 FPS on average at 1440p with high refresh rate monitor support.
This is where the EVGA 4070 Super really shines, providing incredible performance across a wide range of titles. As always, I'll be back with more after these tests, so stay tuned for the next installment of our build.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enin this video I'm going to be building an awesome 1440p gaming PC build inside of this corsair's brand new 2500 x the first of two new cases released by Corsair could this be one of the best chassis to buy in 2024 let's find out now as you can see quite evidently from the hardware on the pile this build is an allwhite themed system that I'm hoping is going to look the business the first thing we've got to do is look in a bit more detail at this the Corsair 2500 x now first impressions are really really good this is obviously the white colorway design and Corsair have gone to Great Lengths to make this thing actually white in design that means that all the internal grommets and accents are also white rather than gray as we've seen on their cases in the past and the Micro ATX form factor of this case already feels super compact something I really really like so many cases nowadays are just absolutely massive and often times for the sake of being large which is why it's particularly nice to see Corsair offer a more compact option now of course on this case the front panel is glass there is also a 2500d where this swaps out for mesh for better air flow around the rear of the case you can see the back chamber where our power supply is going to go support for fulls sizee ATX units with plenty of clearance and again when I talk about the white accents all the cables on this build are individually sleeved in white great to see that's going to mean that any system you put together sticks within that color scheme a lot more closely you'll also find at the back here a radiator and fan mount a side mount if you will most of the time you'll want to use this as intake to pull extra fresh air into the case at the top of the chassis you'll find support for up to 360 mil RADS with another 360 mil rad mounting spot at the bottom as well of course at the rear we've got support for 120 mil fans for even more air flow and then of course our four PCI Lanes initial impress impressions are that the build quality feels really solid I like the quite qqb design of this and obviously no glass pillar here means you've got more of an infinite view so many cases at the moment feel like a blatant copy of the Leon Le series and I have to say this doesn't at least not for my first Hands-On Impressions one thing that's also pretty favorable about this case is the GPU support obviously the case is quite long meaning support for up to 400 MIM long graphics cards really really great to see otherwise there isn't too much more to report about this case at this stage pricing this isn't cheap I'm not going to lie you're looking at $160 for the 2500d this one obviously comes with no fans either so certainly not a budget and Chassis but let's build an there and we can evaluate the potential value for money proposition a little bit later now talking of building in it what am I going to build in it well I've actually spent a lot of time picking and curating some really nice parts of this build of course we needed a Micro ATX motherboard and that is where this comes in the gigabyte aurus b650 m Elite ax ice as far as white motherboards go it doesn't get much better than this you can even see that gigabyte have gone to the length of adding these white AMD CPU Cooler brackets on as standard with the heat sinks being silver and the PCB itself being a light or very very light shade of gray at worst the back of the motherboard is a little bit darker by color design and you can see the integrated AMD back plate here too it doesn't just lock the part though it also performs well we've got Wi-Fi 6E plenty of USB ports uh display outputs which we won't need in this build High speed USBS and then of course a 2 and 1/2 gig ethernet and an optical audio output all the boxes I like to see ticked on a motherboard now you might be wondering why I've gone b650 for this build rather than the higher end x670 chips out I mean this is not a particularly cheap system and the reason for that is actually the CPU I've gone for the AMD ryzen 7 7800 x3d a chip that you can't really overclock anyway and a chipset like b650 is going to work totally fine now just to clarify you can overclock RAM and CPU on the b650 chipset but you will never have quite as much leverage and Headroom as you will on that higher end chipset where the power delivery is better the 7800 x3d though is a great chip eight cores 16 threads amazing clock speeds and nearly 100 megabytes of level three cache it's unbelievable L3 cach the biggest bottleneck in modern CPUs and for the price I've seen this thing at like 350 on New Egg latest price and availability well as always be link down below as far as RAM goes I've gone for a white Kit no surprises there Corsair Vengeance RGB ddr5 now this kit is only 5600 I would recommend knocking up to a 6,000 MHz kit and keeping that latency below 40 CL 36 is ideal talking of fast speeds I've gone for corsair's mp600 GS for the SSD they haven't sponsored this video it just so happens that the GS is one of my favorite gem 4 drives out there that's because it doesn't break the bank but still gives you really good read and write speeds and you can find a full review of this drive at the link in the card section now while I'm here with the motherboard I do just want to investigate how the CPU Cooler is going to mount to the CPU that's because it may impact on the order we install them board into the case coer wise I've stuck with the Corsair theme couple of reasons for that that IQ link stuff which is what we're using here where all the RGB digitally connects together in a sort of easy daisy chain like system is fantastic and secondly because I want to tie everything in with corset IQ and create the best most cohesive looking build I possibly can now cooler wise this one is is not cheap I'm not going to lie this build is not intended to be for those of you with a strict eye on budgets fans come pre-mounted and pre-installed love to see that more and more coolers are doing that at the minute even deep Cool's new cooler with the screen is doing that this one's got the LCD display as well which is really really nice and all of the cables for the display run up through this tube into a centralized Hub at the top making our life a lot lot easier we need to take a look at our mounting hardware which you'll find handly labeled inside this am4 am5 bag we've got four posts included inside of that box with a pair of brackets for the water block that looks a little something like this now what this is going to do is actually screw into the pre-installed back plate we installed earlier so this is nice and easy to prep just remove the stock Moun hardware and those lovely white molded AMV brackets and replace these with the four post we just removed from the cooler box that's all we need to do for now the rest of the process can wait until later the next stage of proceedings is moving the motherboard into the case at least now that we've done that basic bit of CPU Cooler preparation it's only really when you lay this thing down fully flat that you really understand how long this case is what I'm going to do though is I'm going to add the motherboard in a little something like so I think all the standoffs are in the right locations as it is yes they certainly are once that's all aligned I can go ahead and just secure it down all the screws come included in the accessory box but with the case making this stage of the build super super simple the cooler is going to follow in a moment once the motherboard is in the next step is the CPU Cooler now the top panel just removes really really easily like this and because of course our radiator has the fans pre-installed already all that we need to do is just drop the radiator into the back of the case now obviously I need to screw this in properly so give me a moment and I'll get it better aligned and screw it into place with six screws to make sure it isn't going to go anywhere I'm now going to remove the plastic bracket which is protecting the pre-applied thermal paste and then take off the brackets which are installed by default for Intel based systems the AMD ones which I talked about earlier can now slot into place without too much trouble the reason I left it to this stage is so that I didn't screw up the pre-applied thermal paste something which is intrinsically making our life a lot lot easier then it's a simple case of getting the block on the tubes on the right is a bit more clean and it isn't going to hide the screen once that's sitting on or thumb screws these are included just tighten them by hand to begin with and then finish off with a screwdriver to make sure they're nice and secure at the end the beauty of having all the cables and all the fans pre-installed is that this is one of the easiest coolers you will ever install with that all done and dusted I can then flip the case which is now quite heavy over and we can see the whole thing starting to come together now I have actually picked up an extra pack of three Corsair IQ link fans these not only look the part but fit with all the other IQ ecosystem I'm going to go ahead and putp one at the back in an exhaust config and then on the side here pop another two just here and intake it's up to you and we'll see how the GPU sits you may actually determine that yes you would like to have another few fans at the bottom I think that's going to be Overkill and might look a bit too busy that's starting to come together you might notice as well I use these new screws the Corsair included four fans it basically stops you ruining the inside of the fan thread which is really great to see so far as far as ease of build goes one of the most simple PCS I've ever put together this is amazing next up on the list is the graphics card I suppose talking of which picked up the gigabyte Aro 4070 super now if you want even better performance at 1440p and a bit of 4K jump up to the 4070 TI super if you want topof the Range Gaming performance the 4080 super is as good as you'll get without spending stupid money on a 4090 now ninia super lineup obviously gives a bit of a boost over the nons super cards and it makes them they're most competitive against AMD since the launch of all the Radeon 7000 series sko 2 now I'm a massive massive fan of the gigabyte AO design I said this in a recent build we did in inside the height y7 touch they're just absolutely stunning gpus that get the white color scheme down to a te this 4070 super design is also not too large making it a good proportional fit for a build like this one now in terms of getting it actually installed it looks like yes the top two PCI slots are the ones we need to take out so you get these nice included mini thumb screws which are again pretty cool lots of this case feels quite bespoke which is nice to see this case is obviously limited by its size the 6 and a half thousand the bigger chassis is getting give you a lot more options when it comes to mounting of various components particularly of liquid cooling parts get subscribed as we might have something on the way now push the clip down on your PCI slot Slide the graphics card in remember to take off the black plastic first of course Basics James Basics Basics Basics and then is that going to slide in oh it's quite tight that's very tight actually the problem if I can demonstrate it is that the end of the PCI bracket has to be really kind of forced through this area here there's just not quite a big enough cutout but I would say a bit more tolerance there is definitely needed for the future use the same screws we took the graphics card out with to screw the graphics card into place and then admire your hard work because this thing is starting to look absolutely amazing all that then remains is the power supply corsair's rm850 now you want to pick up the newer 80 plus gold atx3 standard of this power supply this is the non atx3 version so I'll be using a Sleek inline extension adapter I'll link the more up to date one below virtually the same price so it doesn't really make any difference as far as part selection goes now you might notice that this power supply is black and this build is is not black I've picked up some cable extensions from Easy diyab nothing new there I'll link those down below too which are going to finish things off really quite nicely all the normal cables to be installed motherboard CPU and of course our graphics card power connector and then a six pin PCI power connector for the IQ link goodies as well just a little bit of wiring to do to finish this off and I've gone ahead and plugged up everything via IQ link now if we look at the Hub on the rear of the case as you can see this is actually quite simple we've simply got our PCI power going in here and a USB to our motherboard front panel that's giv the data and power for the Hub and then off the Hub we've got two wires one is powering up the radiator at the top and the fan at the rear while the other is powering up these two fans at the front side area that's going to provide data and power and essentially allows you to digitally daisy chain the devices together the only slight negative to note and it is a fairly big one with this build is this area up the top unfortunately I've had to add this Cable in to connect the fans up to the radiator I might try and dig out a longer one and run the cable from the left hand side of these fans around the rear so it's more hidden and of course this Hub area while it's cool to have a Consolidated hub for all the different bits to do with the cooler and plugging in other devices the location is not particularly ideal when you're mounting it with the tubes at the front of the case as you would do in the 2 and a half th000 D or X series of chassis but there's only really one way to boot this thing up obviously we've got a montage on the way but first let's give it a jump there we go wait for it all to spin into action as I say couple of cables I still want to tidy Away really not a fan of this this everything's all sort of going corset a logo on the cooler fans are spinning but no RGB yet is it going to boot up come on oh yes beautiful absolutely beautiful still a bit of tweaking to do so give me a few moments and I'll rejoin you after the Montage moving through into performance and it's safe to say that this is a build that not only looks great but provides some fantastic frame rates too I've tested this system in a wide range of titles so why don't we start with Call of Duty's war zone to kick things off at 1440p high settings with dlss enabled and set to the Quality preset we achieved 173 FPS on average the 90 and 99 percenti result showed fairly consistent frame rates too perhaps a few more frame drops here than we would have ideally light but generally speaking performance was very good Call of Duty's Modern Warfare 3 was unsurprisingly very similar slightly better with 190 FPS on average and again those 90 and 90 percenti results were not only higher but a bit more consistent this time around both the Call of Duties look fantastic on this system and the 4070 super really showing its press as a great 1440p GPU it does so again even in our next title Starfield a game that's been widely regarded as being really quite hard to run very poorly optimized and perhaps not the most ideal title for most systems to deal with 1440p high settings and the 4070 super clocked in an impressive 9 4 FPS on average obviously more of an RPG game than a fast-paced firstperson shooter so you don't need to be breaking through that 100 FPS barrier but 94 still nice to see it's a bit like Hogwarts Legacy the next game 1440p high here and again you don't really need to be breaking through that 100 FPS Mark but it's certainly nice to do so 138 FPS on average at 1440p with everything tuned up to high but what if you want to tune the settings down a little bit jump down to 1080p competitive settings everything on low except the render distance which we pushed a far here the build achieved 292 FPS on average wow certainly actually useful when you think of the high refresh rate 300 360 HZ monitors that are out there nowadays move through into Apex Legends at 1440p high and the build again did well 229 FPS on average pretty incredible really at 1440p showing great performance across the board from not only this build but of course the 470 super inside if you enjoyed this one make sure to drop a like rating get subscribed see more from me thanks for watching and as always always we'll see you in the next onein this video I'm going to be building an awesome 1440p gaming PC build inside of this corsair's brand new 2500 x the first of two new cases released by Corsair could this be one of the best chassis to buy in 2024

tested this system in a wide range of titles so why don't we start with Call of Duty's war zone to kick things off at 1440p high settings with dlss enabled and set to the Quality preset we achieved 173 FPS on average the 90 and 99 percenti result showed fairly consistent frame rates too perhaps a few more frame drops here than we would have ideally light but generally speaking performance was very good Call of Duty's Modern Warfare 3 was unsurprisingly very similar slightly better with 190 FPS on average and again those 90 and 90 percenti results were not only higher but a bit more consistent this time around both the Call of Duties look fantastic on this system and the 4070 super really showing its press as a great 1440p GPU it does so again even in our next title Starfield a game that's been widely regarded as being really quite hard to run very poorly optimized and perhaps not the most ideal title for most systems to deal with 1440p high settings and the 4070 super clocked in an impressive 9 4 FPS on average obviously more of an RPG game than a fast-paced firstperson shooter so you don't need to be breaking through that 100 FPS barrier but 94 still nice to see it's a bit like Hogwarts Legacy the next game 1440p high here and again you don't really need to be breaking through that 100 FPS Mark but it's certainly nice to do so 138 FPS on average at 1440p with everything tuned up to high but what if you want to tune the settings down a little bit jump down to 1080p competitive settings everything on low except the render distance which we pushed a far here the build achieved 292 FPS on average wow certainly actually useful when you think of the high refresh rate 300 360 HZ monitors that are out there nowadays move through into Apex Legends at 1440p high and the build again did well 229 FPS on average pretty incredible really at 1440p showing great performance across the board from not only this build but of course the 470 super inside if you enjoyed this one make sure to drop a like rating get subscribed see more from me thanks for watching and as always always we'll see you in the next one\n"
