**Building a Powerful PC: A Step-by-Step Guide**

For this build, I wanted to create a system that would serve as a solid foundation for future upgrades and provide a great balance between performance and cost. The CPU is one of the most important components, and I chose an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, which offers exceptional performance and features like 16 cores and 32 threads.

The CPU's companion piece is fast memory, specifically DDR4-26-66 megahertz RAM. This rise in CPU really needs fast memory, and this is definitely a big win for the system. I paid less than this for a 32GB kit from Corsair around 18 months ago, but this particular kit comes with an impressive read aesthetic that suits the past. It's a great value, especially considering the price of RAM has increased significantly over recent years.

When it comes to storage, I opted for a 2TB Western Digital Caviar Blue hard drive with a 7200RPM disc rotation speed. This is a fairly standard setup for a consumer hard drive in a three-and-a-half-inch form factor. While Windows 10 does a decent job of optimizing performance on a hard drive, it's still no match for the blazing speeds of an SSD. If budget allows, I would recommend investing in an SSD, as it will significantly improve boot times and overall system responsiveness.

However, due to the recent price surge in graphics cards and RAM, I had to prioritize my spending. The next component is the graphics card, which I chose to be a high-end Asus GeForce GTX 1070. This dual-fan design provides excellent cooling and performance, with 8GB of VRAM and a massive frame buffer that will handle demanding games with ease. While the GTX 970 is a slightly more power-hungry option, this card's efficiency makes it well worth the investment.

One of the standout features of this graphics card is its flagship feature set, including the ability to record and stream gameplay with minimal impact on performance. Additionally, it includes auto-optimization for games based on user data, ensuring you get the best possible settings for your system configuration. While more expensive options like the GTX 1070 Ti or RTX 3080 are available, this card provides excellent value for its price.

Next up is the case, which I chose to be the Masterbox Lite 3.1. This superb case offers a range of features, including front panel USB 3.0 ports, accent colors, and a full-span side window that showcases the internal components. The case is also designed with cable management in mind, supporting ATX power supplies without taking up too much space on the desk or room. While it does have a smaller micro-ATX footprint than its standard ATX counterpart, this allows for greater flexibility in terms of component selection.

Finally, there's the power supply, which I selected to be the EVGA 750-watt BQ model. This unit is an excellent choice, offering 80+ Bronze certification and semi-modular design that makes it easy to manage cables. The included cables are also a nice touch, featuring black rubber sleeves for a more premium look. While this power supply may seem slightly overkill at first glance, its efficiency and reliability ensure that your system will run smoothly and quietly, reducing heat output and increasing overall lifespan.

**Conclusion**

This build is designed to provide an excellent balance between performance and cost, with each component carefully chosen to serve the needs of the others. By prioritizing fast memory and a high-end graphics card, I've created a powerful system that's well-equipped for future upgrades and demanding applications. With its efficient power supply and sleek case design, this build is sure to impress even the most discerning PC enthusiast.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to the geek awhat video today I'll be taking you over the very best gaming PC that you can build for $1000 for the second half of 2017 this build is not only gonna be fantastic for 1440p and for k gaming even in the latest triple-a titles you can also do a bit of live streaming and productivity work such as video editing if you really wanted to this really is a beast of a machine before I jump into the parts I've chosen why first up some gaming benchmarks in the latest triple-a titles as I said you're gonna be doing absolutely fantastically out 1440p particularly but go to some of the older games csgo Warcraft League of Legends you're gonna see some frankly ridiculous frame rates in that 4k resolution range now the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed just how expensive building the PC has become in the summer period of 2017 this is many down to just how expensive graphics cards and RAM are particularly due to massive massive demand for those items that being said I'll leave links to a load of retailers in the description below so you can compare and get the best possible deal let's jump in there now with the parts and kick it off as always with the CPU AMD's rosen fibers provided a massively compelling alternative to what Intel currently have to offer often providing better value at a better price point with better performance figures overall this Rison 5 or 1600 chip comes in with a base clock of 3.2 gigahertz but where it really shows off is with its 6 cause these six cores really will benefit games slightly newer titles that are optimized for heavier multi-threaded workloads and will also do it well as a budget editing and streaming chip for any of you avid content creators out there these new AMD Rison 5 chips also come included with a fantastic stock cooler meaning for this build we aren't actually gonna pay extra for an aftermarket cooler because there really is no price to performance benefit the included caller is quiet efficient and looks pretty good doing a good job of cooling the CPU and most importantly stopping it from thermal throttling which is when the CPU gets too hot and has to subsequently slow down to stop itself overheating in terms of the motherboard there is a few options here you can go top of the range with the 370 chipset which goes balls to the walls with PCIe lanes expansion pause and importantly overclocking or you can head right down to the budget a 320 boards which I featured in a recent balls to the walls Valley Pro build in the card section now I went for a good mid ground the B 350 M more time on the board from MSI you can't get this in white if you'd like but I thought a plain black aesthetic worked much better for this build it's got four tram DIMM slots and of course pcie 3.0 for all of the adding connectivity and expansion that you could possibly want importantly as well the B 350 and X 370 chipsets both support overclocking to this motherboard sorry despite its cheaper price tag doesn't miss out on the extra free performance the overclocking can afford you in terms of memory Crucial Ballistix sport LT in a 16 gigabyte 2 by 8 gig configuration really is the best run bet for this build this one particularly comes in and a fantastic read aesthetic and that suits the past in this build and comes clocked at ddr4 26 66 megahertz at which the rise in CPU really really likes fast memory on rising is definitely a big big win this is definitely an area that has gone up in price massively over recent years I paid less than this for a 32 gig kit from Corsair around 18 months ago now but this crucial stuff really is the best value that's on offer that's 16 gigabyte capacity in terms of storage in this build I went for a 2 terabytes a get barracuda hard drive with a 7200 rpm disc rotation speed which is fairly standard for a consumer hard drive in a three-and-a-half inch form factor it's nothing too out of the ordinary it's got 2,000 gigabytes of capacity for your movies music Steam games or all of that sort of stuff and Windows 10 doesn't do too bad of a job of optimizing its performance on a hard drive as opposed to a faster SSD if you don't have a little bit more cash to splash and SSD is definitely where you want to be investing your money as it will lead to much improved boot up times and it's definitely a good upgrade later on down the line but due to the fact that graphics cards and RAM have gone up so much in price recently I couldn't quite squeeze an SSD into this thousand dollar budget next up on this list is the graphics card and this is an area where I made sure you were spending your money very very well and getting something that really is high-end Asus GeForce GTX 1070 this being the dual series video card he's gonna work perfectly with 8 gigabytes of vram a nice juicy frame buffer you're gonna be able to turn textures and ambient occlusion up quite a deal the GTX 970 whilst a somewhat power-hungry card is very efficient with the pirate uses very cool and comes with all of them videos flagship feature set for example being able to record and stream your gameplay with less than 5% framerate here you can also auto optimize the games that you're playing based on what other users are doing and based on other user data to get the best possible settings for your system configuration you can step up to some higher-end GTX 10 70s like Asus is triple fan design but it really isn't to necessary and this card's gonna do a superb job next up on this list and of course the penultimate item is the case called masters masterbox Lite 3.1 is a superb option with front panel USB 3 a range of accent colors a full spanning side plexi window and support for full sized ATX power supplies which provide better value than their smaller power supply alternatives that being said it does have a smaller micro ATX footprint with support for the better value install is smaller micro ATX motherboards switches the one we've gone from in this video which gives it a huge size advantage it means it's not going to take up a load of unnecessary space on your desk or in your room and overall it's a superb case that is everything we need for this build and more and finally the last item on this list is of course the power supply many people pick the wrong power supply for their build and either go one of two extremes they have a cheap out and go for a 350 watt no-name unit that's gonna break within the next 12 months or they head up to something astronomically overkill a 1200 watt 80 plus Platinum certified fully modular unit that they really do not need this EVGA 750 watt BQ power supply is a nice happy medium in this build even if it is a little bit overkill the 80 plus bronze certification guarantees by an external company this power supply will perform above 80% efficiency at all times reducing heat output reducing power consumption your wall as well and over all increase in this power supplies lifetime and longevity the further this power supply unit is semi modular also means you only plug in the cables that you need so if you don't need a load of graphics cards or hard drive power connectors you don't have to plug them in and that really does help with cable management not to mention the cables included with this power supply are a little bit nicer than your normal pass play cables with nice black rubber sleeve in there just looks a little bit better than a multicolor mustard rainbow power supply connector but that
