Changing the RGB Fan to an NZXT 120 Millimeter Error
I still don't know how to pronounce that, and it actually looks really cool. I really like the way that turned out, and the power surprises are great on this PC. Now you know with that we can get into what this PC looks like assembled.
This case does look pretty good for the money, one problem with it is that there is a black rim around the actual tempered glass which doesn't look good on a white case. And one of the things that makes it even more irritating is that the bad black boundary isn't on the actual glass itself, it's the anti-vibration pad on the case. So, that kind of a really could have painted it white but it's just not worth it.
Another thing is that the build quality on the case isn't amazing, there's some flex in the front panel and you know some paint comes off quite easily. But again for $82 you're getting for RGB fans tempered glass, and like it's it's pretty good value for money even with its kind of build quality compromises.
Now another thing that I have to say is that the cable management routing holes and stuff around the motherboard tray is not great on this case as you can see I have to take the motherboard the 24 pin cable really far to actually get to the slot on the motherboard. So if they hadn't added another one of those grommeted holes higher up it would have been really great.
The biggest problem with the case is the actual CPU cable cut out because when you look at the case it looks like there's a lot of space it looks like it's a whole slot update up there that you can like fit cables through and stuff. I was very excited for that but then there's only like one little bit of cutout that's kind of like obscured by the motherboard. That's really irritating, and in men who is really difficult to get cables and stuff through especially considering the fact that there is all the RGB crap on the back fan.
Gaming Performance
So I didn't have a lot of time for this video, so I've only got six benchmarks here and yeah, the PC performs really well as you can see. You're getting great performance at 1080p and ultra settings on most games. But you know that's kind of that's kind of where the r-tx 2016 performs really well. It's also good for 60 frames per second 1440p if you new game at that resolution and framerate.
Now again, if you have to pay three hundred and fifty dollars for the r-tx twenty sixty I wouldn't pay that much for it unless you are very much into streaming otherwise, I'd probably go for an RX fifty seven hundred however like I said earlier I did get it for two hundred and eighty dollars, and at that price in my opinion it's a very compelling graphics card.
In Conclusion
I think this is a very nice-looking RGB build for $1000 considering what components are used in this PC. It means that you don't have to spend a huge amount extra on like higher-end RGB stuff and yeah it does show like the case doesn't have the best build quality, and the fans aren't software controlled you have to use like a button and it is really like I just I kind of hate cable managing RGB because it always adds like another hundred percent of complexity to a bill but again you pay for ease of use and honestly that NZXT RGB build than I did before wasn't significantly easier to use than this one. It just does have a hundred percent software control which is way better than the little controller that you just cycle through settings with the BitFenix alchemy stuff.
But yeah, for the budget like I think it's pretty good looking RGB and the actual PC performs really well, and with that thank you very much for watching.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennot very long ago I did a hundred-percent RGB vomit PC just balls-to-the-wall unicorn excrement a color explosion this time for a thousand dollars I'm gonna try and build a much more classy RGB PC for today's build we're gonna have to really use our imaginations to reach that thousand dollar budget that I so so proudly state in the title of this video because well some stuff went wrong and I had to change out a couple of components and it means that it's more expensive than the the title would suggest now I know that means that I am technically click baiting this title but it's not gonna affect the performance so with that I think we can actually discuss what components we have in this PC now I went with an Intel build because I felt like building an Intel PC and I also have an Nvidia graphics card in there for the first time in a very long time and we'll get into why I chose that specific graphics card in a bit but CPU wise we have an Intel 90 400 F for the entire reason that I had one lying around they actually recently did a price drop on that CPU which means it's a bit more compelling but still you can get an AMD 2600 X for the exact same amount and then you're getting like twice the amount of threads because of hyper threading so that's definitely the better choice in my opinion but you know you can buy a 90 400 F if all you want is Intel the motherboard that I'm using in this build is actually an NZXT Zed 390 n7 which is a pretty good motherboard I really enjoy it but it's not it doesn't fit this budget at all it doesn't make any sense to use that motherboard with a 90 400 F but the reason that I used it is because I had a very basic gigabyte Zed 390 board and I may have broken it I'm not gonna get into a lot of details around how I broke it but it doesn't work anymore okay so for the budget to hit the thousand dollar budget I'm actually using an asrock b-36 5 motherboard so I'll have that linked in the description below and I'll show it over here as far as RAM goes we've got 16 gigs of team group ram it runs at 3200 megahertz and it's a really nice kit it matches the aesthetic of the build as well now the graphics card is probably going to be a bit controversial because I'm going with an r/t x2 he's 60 from Nvidia now I know I know the new Nabi graphics cards are much better value for money when it comes to raw performance per dollar the RX 5700 costs the same as this RT X 2060 and it does perform a lot better but there are two main just general advantages that Nvidia graphics cards have over AMD graphics cards and then another reason that I took the RT X this specific RT X 2060 is because I got it for the equivalent of two hundred and eighty dollars which is a pretty good deal in my opinion but let's get into the more general advantages the first advantage that Nvidia graphics cards have over AMD graphics cards is you don't have to interact with AMD drivers now I know that this may be fairly controversial but that in itself is enough reason for me to go with an Nvidia graphics card but many people may disagree with me and you may voice those disagreements in the comment section below but the other reason which is more objective and this is something that you can't really disagree with and that is n vank if you are at all interested in streaming with a PC Nvidia graphics cards are a no-brain choice because especially for budget streamers it means that you don't have to buy a really expensive CPU and vank is a pretty cool technology and if you go up from the GTX series of graphics cards to an RT X series of graphics cards you get an even better and vank controller so I am going to stream with this PC later today I normally stream on Saturdays at 11 a.m. Pacific time so if you're interested go and check out my twitch channel in the video description now moving on to the case it was actually sent to me by BitFenix but that's not going to change my opinion on it because well I have some things to say about building in that case but ho get into that a bit later one of the really great things about this case though is that it has a mesh front panel which means it's got pretty good airflow and it comes with four RGB fans and the case costs around $80 so you're getting tempered glass a mesh front panel and for RGB fans for about 80 bucks that's pretty crazy value for money especially if you are into RGB on a budget and I think it's the cheapest case fan configuration you can buy to get the three RGB fans growing through the front effect which I know is very desirable is that a thing 3 RGB fans in the front blowing effect but yeah so the case looks pretty good I got it in white and we'll get some more shots of it that aren't in the dark like in the beginning of the video but y'all talked you through the building process soon and now the cooler that we used for this build is a cooler master hyper 212 RGB now I really like that cooler as I say in every single video ever but I had to make some changes to the cooler because of the motherboard now initially the motherboard that I was using had the normal 4 pin RGB cable thing but NZXT is motherboards come with like a built in hue plus so it means that they don't support anything other than hue plus RGB or at least I couldn't get anything else to work so I actually had to change the RGB fan to 120 millimeter error NZXT fan I still don't know how to pronounce that and it actually looks really cool I really like the way that that turned out and the power surprises 651 EVGA model now you know with that we can get into what this PC looks like assembled and then I'll briefly talk you through the building experience and then we'll get into gaming performance now this case does look pretty good for the money one problem with it is that there is a black rim around the actual tempered glass which doesn't look good on a white case and one of the things that makes it even more irritating is that the bad black boundary isn't on the actual glass itself it's the it's the anti vibration pad on the case so that kind of a really could have painted it white but it's it's not it's not a massive deal another thing is that the build quality on the case isn't amazing there's some flex in the front panel and you know some paint comes off quite easily but again for 82 dollars you're getting for RGB fans tempered glass and like it's it's pretty good value for money even with it's kind of build quality compromises now another thing that I have to say is that the cable management routing holes and stuff around the motherboard tray is not great on this case as you can see I have to take the motherboard the 24 pin cable really far to actually get to the slot on
