Building the Ultimate 4K Gaming PC 2024! 🚀[$3000 PC Build Guide - ft. RTX 4080 SUPER]

Right once all the cables are done I'm then going to move on to this now this is NZID XT's vertical GPU mounting kit and this is going to be a pretty instrumental part of the build today. Now you might have noticed previously that the PCI Lanes in this case actually missing and that's where this comes in. Take all the lanes out, swap this in instead, and we can mount the graphics card Versa C. Now you're still going to install it like you would a normal GPU, but I'm going to pop the Riser into the top PCI slot, add this bracket into place, and then grab our 480 super Arrow.

Just look at this; it's honestly one of the best-looking graphics cards I think you can buy. Just full stop. Now this one's completely box fresh, so let me go ahead and get the thing unwrapped. Even got the peel on the back plate as well. Listen to this; oh what a beauty! It's going to perform great, it's going to be awesome for 4K, 1440p, 1080p gaming. What your CPU is more likely to be a bottleneck? The 14700 K is really solid. Now I would recommend if you're going to copy this build, doing all of the fans now and the GPU afterwards, but I'm still waiting for a triple pack of the D30s to arrive for the bottom; so I'm going to install this for now, so we can see how it looks. Then take it out to add in my extra fans along the bottom and replace both the fan at the side and at the rear.

I've not just lost my marbles, and I'm doing things in the wrong order; I kind of am, but there's a reason. There's method to the madness. Okay, wow, wow, wow! That is a beauty! Bit of cable management to do. Need to give the GPU some power; get it screwed in. Add those fans. Look at performance in a few moments, but first, I think we all want to see a montage of what this thing looks like when it's actually powered up. That looks unbelievable, looking amazing. Got to say, I love the combo of this H9 with those Fantex fans; white motherboard, white GPU; oh, it's perfect.

But how is the performance? Cuz that ultimately is the bit that really matters. Now, the first game I tested out was Black Myth: Wukong at 4K Ultra High DLSS 3 enabled, frame gen enabled, RAI tracing on, and set to ultra high. You name it; the setting is turned on at 4K here. And the build did really well. 70 FPS on average was a really playable gaming experience, of course you could tune rate racing down or off completely if you want to break through that triple-digit FPS mark. But I was really happy with this.

Aleen weight 2 is another RPG title really where you don't need super high frame rates but we want it to be smooth; we want it to be enjoyable. 4K High settings here, DLSS 3 enabled on quality again, frame gen also enabled, rate racing on high. This time around, and the frame rate clocked in at 71 FPS on average. Allen weight 2 is such a good-looking game when you've got the power to run it, and at 4K; it looks glorious.

Call of Duty's Warzone at 4K is another title where FPS really matters, not just to the point where it's smooth but to the point where it's competitive too. 4K High settings, DLSS on quality, frame gen on high. This time around, and the frame rate clocked in at 129 FPS; yes, baby! Looking good, really. A Competitive Gaming experience nice kills in here too just all around a good time.

Starfield UPS: The anti-. Little bit it's a harder game to run at 4K High settings again, DLSS3 enabled, frame gen on high. 106 FPS on average in Starfield; really, really pleased with that. Again, the gaming experience is expence really solid all around. A title that's had a harder launch than many over the last sort of year or so but still did well on this system.

Hogwarts Legacy at 4K is next up High settings again. Here, the frame rate kind of in the middle of a game; so far, 81 FPS. So more than the 70 earlier but not again through that triple-digit barrier. Fortnite at 1080p competitive settings, Tune things right down the resolution rungs and down the settings runs too here just for fun. The game achieved 3155 FPS on average because of course it did.

Finally, to wrap things up; a bit of Apex Legends 4K High settings. 205 FPS so the highest out of all the games today at 4K.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeka video now in this one I'm going to show you guys how to build an awesome 4K gaming PC build that provides top tier gaming performance while also looking fantastic in the process this is a build that's designed the top-of-the-line gaming but can even be used for a bit of streaming or rendering too and features some super high performance great looking parts I'll be running you guys through how to put this system together the kind of performance you can expect a little bit later and hopefully having a bit of fun along the way let's do this today's video has been made possible by Intel gamer days their biggest sale of the year is here with discounts on CPUs gpus and even gaming laptops why not harness the power of Intel art graphics with XC super sampling for AI enhanced upscaling and built in av1 encoders for video editing and content creation plus with the purchase of a new 13th or 14th gen CPU GPU or laptop you also get a free code for Assassin's Creed Shadows launching this November check it out at the first link in the description below I'm going to start this Build Off by walking you guys through the parts I've selected and why and more specifically start with the CPU and GPU combo now the GPU in this build is a bit of a big boy it's the gigabyte Arrow RTX 4080 super now this is one of the best high-end gpus on the market right now you may want to consider AMD 7900 XTX 2 but I picked this due to the superior dlss and rate racing performance something that I know you guys value and based on publicly available sales data a card which clearly seems to be that bit more popular now this gigabyte arrow is one of my favorite looking cards as well from the 4080 super lineup and we'll unbox this card a bit later to check that out now the card pairs up perfectly with in's core I 7 14700 K not only is this chip great for multi-thread workloads with 20 cores and 28 threads that's comprised of 12 ecores and eight of the fast de peores but clock speeds are also very good too breaking easily through the 5 GHz Mark now I know there have been some issues around these chips running at incorrect voltages but you can now find bios updates which fix the micro code issue for these chips which I'll link down in the description below through Intel's gam ofay's promotion as well you can also save on this chip over the price it typically retails for and I'll leave latest pricing and availability as always in the description below because I've gone for an Intel CPU I need to make sure that I select a solid z790 motherboard now if overclocking is not really a priority to you you may want to consider stepping down to the cheaper B ser chipset but z790 is going to give us better PCI gem 5 support and all in all just a slightly better experience this particular board comes in from aurus and it's the z790 Aus Pro X and it's actually one of my favorite looking motherboards in a sweet minute gigabite have been doing absolute magic when it comes to motherboard designs recently and this thing is no exception I mean look at that for a motherboard now this has got a white PCB which is amazing the randoms are black but you can see they've got the Silver Shield in around which helps them to match better color-wise rear iio is also very strong too you've got Wi-Fi 7 support super high-speed USB and optical audio down the bottom and the whole thing just looks absolutely fantastic one of my favorite things about this board though is how easy it is to build with not only have you got a toolless heat sink here which actually uncovers one two three four mvme m.2 slots but above this you'll also find a secondary tourist m.2 heat syn for the PCI Gen 5 compatibility on this motherboard that is something we're going to be leveraging in today's build with a Gen 5 mvme talking to which let's talk about storage and memory and all things flash related this is the Corsair mp700 Pro s and this is a super high-end G 5 mvme drive now I want to give a big asterisk that this is totally optional you may also want to consider a cheaper drive like the mp600 pro or mp600 GS this is a top of the r G 5 drive that I'm using because well it's very exciting and super quick it's also one of the only drives of its kind that doesn't require a heat sink but it's expensive so as I say the cheaper alternatives will also be in the description below now I guess kind of oddly I've actually made up for some of the cost overspend on the SSD with the memory this is G skills rip Jaws M5 and it's basically a more slim down version of their pretty popular Neo RGB lineup I still think it looks really quite nice though but the only way to really tell is get an out the Box the main things it's got though which we are after are 6,000 megga transfers per second as far as the speed is concerned it's also CL 30 so it's fairly low latency and seemingly impossible to get open pulling this out aha you can see not too bad it's I wouldn't call it quite low profile but it's certainly less of a profile than some of their other kits which are a little bit outlandish and the top actually looks really really sleep when you got these dims next to each other I think the design just ties in super super nicely and in white they perfectly match the overall color scheme and aesthetic for the build today with the motherboard ready to go then I'm going to start things off by installing the processor you guys know how to do this by now just into the socket at the top of the board Ram all the memories next up I'm using slots two and four for this build for dual Channel performance followed by the mvme which we need to pop in the top slot as this is Gem 5 and the others are not with the motherboard looking pretty good I am just going to prep the CPU Cooler before moving the board into the case now this is the fantex glacia 13 60 now it might have made sense to try and stick with an N XT theme which is what I've done with the power supply and with the case kind of spoiler alert I've already spoiled it now come on however I love the fantex glacia series and I think these fans look unbelievable like they're so nice nzid XT rather than going for the fans that kind of magnet and click together have instead opted for the single uniframe fans which I'm just not so much of a wow fan of now this fantex Glacier really pleasantly surprised me when I actually got it in for the first time and used it in fant's pretty popular mv5 just a couple of weeks ago though admittedly can't remember how to get into it it's available in black or white and you can get it in various flavors in terms of radiator size they do a 240 I believe a 280 or you can go all the way up to 360 which is what I've done for this build the 420 is obviously a bit larger too if you've got a case with more clearance and you've got a CPU that maybe needs a bit more cooling capacity let's say you're stepping up to an I9 or a ryzen 9 that's where the 420 mil unit is going to be more more feasible I guess now then if I actually go ahead and pull this out the only thing fantex don't do which other brands are doing is pre-installing the fans onto the radiator that will save you quite a bit of time and hassle but it's not a huge criticism and for the price I think this experience is totally fair in fact for me the D30 fans which are fant's upgraded unit are actually the biggest value out of this cooler lots of high-end coolers just don't come with good fans and it's good to see fantex not making that same mistake now what I am going to do is is I'm going to prep the fans onto the radiator now these nicely magnet and sort of clip together there is a little bit more of an installation process involved on these than on other units but I don't think it's too bad and if you can sort the manual as to where the clips go you'll be fine once the fans are on I'm then going to grab our back plate which is going to go through the rear of the motherboard and this little Intel mounting plate which is going to slide around the CPU water block once the back Plate's through the motherboard add on the alga 1700 standoff screws and that's pretty much all we need to do before moving into the case now then it is time for the case and this right here is nzid xt's H9 Elite now it's been a while since I built in one of enzed XTS I want to say older but this is by no means an old chassis they've just recently updated the H5 and H7 and I actually don't know what they could do to make me like the H9 anymore now this thing is a total unit and it's going to work really well for the build today now I believe you can get this in a variant that doesn't have any included fans which might make more sense as I'm actually going to use fantex d30s in pretty much the whole build NZ XT seem to be changing their fan branding and Designs quite frequently at the moment so actually ripping these out and putting the fantex D30 units in might not be such a bad idea after all the first thing you want to do with any case is just strip it right down take all the panels off side top and rear just to open it up and make the access that bit more simple now like many of the cases on the market right now this is a dual chamber chassis so what that means is that at the back of the case you've got things like your power supply your drive Moun or your cables and at the front you've literally just got the motherboard tray and then any radiators you might have in the build the idea is that this is supposed to make the build look more Sleek a bit more simple and it gives it that fish tank aesthetic that everybody wants right now now it's built pretty well I guess the only thing I would like to see more of is maybe some more rubber grommets on the V2 variant presuming there is one later this year the things like standof being black is actually quite nice cuz it gives us a bit of contrast and again while these NZ of XT fans are nice you could say save some money by going for the fanless version as I'm going to swap these out anyway with fantex D30 always a good idea to double check the standoffs too you can see this case has three at the top three along the middle and three down the bottom and if you actually compare this to the motherboard you'll actually see these all match up perfectly that makes sliding the motherboard in a much easier process as we know everything is going to line up okay get it aligned over the standoffs this motherboard looks like a pretty good match as well as far as the color scheme goes and then use the included screws to secure the board down three at the top I would say along the middle but the center is raised so two along the middle and a further three down the bottom next up is the cooler and what NZXT actually do is they include this removable bracket which if I pop out you can see is going to make the radiator installation a bit easier I'm going to pop the radiator this way around so that the tubes are coming out the front and you can see here if I line up with the bracket I can get it installed nice and easily top tip if you just drop the tubes over the end of a table and then line everything up you're not going to be fighting the tubes and you're not going be putting any pressure on anything of the radiator that you don't want to damage easy to install this into the plastic bracket and drop it into the system in a moment when I do drop it in I'm also going to add this little cable harness in which is going to ensure all the fans get power and all their RGB signals and this can be plugged up a bit later to a centralized controller this bracket is going to make the whole thing a lot easier to slide in but what you don't want to forget to install which I've totally forgotten to install is this little cable harness which is actually going to give uh the fans all the power and data that they need to get working so I'm going to slot this in you guys can't see this super well however you can see what it looks like once it's actually finally installed and that is just going to slot for a couple of the cable grommets down the bottom and took away nice and tidy now that is starting to really come together I think what I'm going to do next is actually do some cables and wiring as that will make installing the graphics card and all the extra fans at the end a little bit easier now talking of power and cables I've gone for this the Enz XT c850 gold and this is one of Ed xt's brand new ATX 3.1 power supplies now it's so new I'm going to need some scissors to take off the plastic wrapping oh yes and I have to say I'm quite excited about this as far as power supplies go this has really peaked my interest now you get the included bag of modular cables I'm hoping please tell me this a white please that's black that's fine oh yes baby look at those oh they look really really good and of course you get the atx3 PCI G 5 power cable even better and then a bag to store them all in afterwards and then the power supply itself this looks good on the photos you know as far as power supplies are concerned nzid XT I think you might to smash this one oh look at that wow now that my good friends is what you call a PSU wowe got this nice little silver strip love that 850 but it's available in various different connectivity standards I really like the look of that and super on brand as far as the white color scheme goes too now as far as what cables I'm going to be using there are a few to note so the first is this which is the motherboard cable that's the 24 pin I'm also going to need to grab a SATA power cable this is great for things like any RGB controllers you might use then got the 600 wat rated PCI G 5 cable the one with 16 pins 12 for power and then a further four for data and communication and then we're also going to need some CPU power harnesses no yes no yes so you can see here we got a pair of eight pin CPU power harnesses that's four plus four pins which as you can see split apart nice and easily I love as well these cables are white but actually with white injection molded end pieces on as well that is delicious I'm going to get all of those wir up to the power suppli screw this into the back and then go ahead and plug in the CPU and motherboard power cables first of all while I'm here also makes sense to do the front panel cables for the case sadly these aren't color matched to the chassis which is really weird these are going to be the USB 3 cables for both type A and type c HD audio which is for the audio p on the top of the case to the bottom left and of course the jfp one FR panel cables these are the fiddly pins which go to the bottom right once all the cables are done I'm then going to move on to this now this is nzid xt's vertical GPU mounting kit and this is going to be a pretty instrumental part of the build today now you might have noticed previously that the PCI Lanes in this case actually missing and that's where this comes in take all the lanes out Swap this in instead and we can mount the graphics card Versa C now you're still going to install it like you would a normal GPU instead though I'm going to pop the Riser into the top PCI slot add this bracket into place and then grab our 480 super Arrow just look at this it's honestly one of the best looking graphics cards I think you can buy just full stop now this one's completely box fresh so let me go ahead and get the thing unwrapped even got the peel on the back plate as well listen to this oh what a beauty it's going to perform great it's going to be awesome for 4K 1440p 1080p gaming what your CPU is more likely to be a bottleneck the 14700 K is really solid now I would recommend if you're going to copy this build doing all of the fans now and the GPU afterwards but I'm still waiting for a triple pack of the d30s to arrive for the bottom so I'm going to install this for now so we can see how it looks then take it out to add in my extra fans along the bottom and replace both the fan at the side and at the rear I've not just lost my marbles and I'm doing things in the wrong order I kind of am but there's a reason there's method to the madness Okay wow wow wow that is a beauty bit of cable management to do need to give the GPU some power get it screwed in add those fans look at performance in a few moments but first I think we all want to see a montage of what this thing looks like when it's actually powered up that looks unbelievable looking amazing got to say I love the combo of this H9 with those fantex fans white motherboard white GPU oh it's perfect but how is the performance cuz that ultimately is the bit that really matters now the first game I tested out was black myth Wukong at 4K Ultra High dlss 3 enabled frame gen enabled ra tracing on and set to ultra high you name it the setting is turned on at 4K here and the build did really well 70 FPS on average was a really playable gaming experience of course you could tune rate racing down or off completely if you want to break through that triple digit FPS Mark but I was really happy with this alen weight 2 is another RPG title really where you don't need super high frame rates but we want it to be smooth we want it to be enjoyable 4K High settings here dlss 3 enabled on quality again frame gen also enabled rate racing on high this time around and the frame rate clocked in at 71 FPS on average Allen weight 2 is such a good-looking game when you've got the power to run it and at 4K it looks glorious Call of Duty's war zone at 4K is is a title where FPS really matters and not just to the point where it's smooth but to the point where it's competitive too 4K High settings dlss on quality 129 FPS yes baby looking good really Competitive Gaming experience nice kills in here too just all around a good time Starfield UPS the anti a little bit it's a harder game to run 4K High settings again dss3 enabled frame gen on 106 FPS on average in Starfield really really pleased with that again the gaming experience expence really solid all around a title that's had a harder launch than many over the last sort of year or so but still did well on this system Hogwarts Legacy at 4K is next up high settings again and here the frame rate kind of in the middle of a game so far 81 FPS so more than the 70 earlier but not again through that triple digit barrier fortnite at 1080p competitive settings Tunes things right down the resolution rungs and down the settings runs too here just for fun the game achieved 3155 FPS on average because of course it did finally to wrap things bit of Apex Legends 4K High settings 205 FPS so the highest out of all the games today at 4K only falling down to fortnite which was tested at the much lower 1080p resolution what do you guys think of this build what do you think of the performance the parts I selected let me know in the comments down below and make sure to get subscribed if you'd like to see more from me thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys welcome back to another geeka

the fanless version as I'm going to swap these out anyway with fantex D30 always a good idea to double check the standoffs too you can see this case has three at the top three along the middle and three down the bottom and if you actually compare this to the motherboard you'll actually see these all match up perfectly that makes sliding the motherboard in a much easier process as we know everything is going to line up okay get it aligned over the standoffs this motherboard looks like a pretty good match as well as far as the color scheme goes and then use the included screws to secure the board down three at the top I would say along the middle but the center is raised so two along the middle and a further three down the bottom next up is the cooler and what NZXT actually do is they include this removable bracket which if I pop out you can see is going to make the radiator installation a bit easier I'm going to pop the radiator this way around so that the tubes are coming out the front and you can see here if I line up with the bracket I can get it installed nice and easily top tip if you just drop the tubes over the end of a table and then line everything up you're not going to be fighting the tubes and you're not going be putting any pressure on anything of the radiator that you don't want to damage easy to install this into the plastic bracket and drop it into the system in a moment when I do drop it in I'm also going to add this little cable harness in which is going to ensure all the fans get power and all their RGB signals and this can be plugged up a bit later to a centralized controller this bracket is going to make the whole thing a lot easier to slide in but what you don't want to forget to install which I've totally forgotten to install is this little cable harness which is actually going to give uh the fans all the power and data that they need to get working so I'm going to slot this in you guys can't see this super well however you can see what it looks like once it's actually finally installed and that is just going to slot for a couple of the cable grommets down the bottom and took away nice and tidy now that is starting to really come together I think what I'm going to do next is actually do some cables and wiring as that will make installing the graphics card and all the extra fans at the end a little bit easier now talking of power and cables I've gone for this the Enz XT c850 gold and this is one of Ed xt's brand new ATX 3.1 power supplies now it's so new I'm going to need some scissors to take off the plastic wrapping oh yes and I have to say I'm quite excited about this as far as power supplies go this has really peaked my interest now you get the included bag of modular cables I'm hoping please tell me this a white please that's black that's fine oh yes baby look at those oh they look really really good and of course you get the atx3 PCI G 5 power cable even better and then a bag to store them all in afterwards and then the power supply itself this looks good on the photos you know as far as power supplies are concerned nzid XT I think you might to smash this one oh look at that wow now that my good friends is what you call a PSU wowe got this nice little silver strip love that 850 but it's available in various different connectivity standards I really like the look of that and super on brand as far as the white color scheme goes too now as far as what cables I'm going to be using there are a few to note so the first is this which is the motherboard cable that's the 24 pin I'm also going to need to grab a SATA power cable this is great for things like any RGB controllers you might use then got the 600 wat rated PCI G 5 cable the one with 16 pins 12 for power and then a further four for data and communication and then we're also going to need some CPU power harnesses no yes no yes so you can see here we got a pair of eight pin CPU power harnesses that's four plus four pins which as you can see split apart nice and easily I love as well these cables are white but actually with white injection molded end pieces on as well that is delicious I'm going to get all of those wir up to the power suppli screw this into the back and then go ahead and plug in the CPU and motherboard power cables first of all while I'm here also makes sense to do the front panel cables for the case sadly these aren't color matched to the chassis which is really weird these are going to be the USB 3 cables for both type A and type c HD audio which is for the audio p on the top of the case to the bottom left and of course the jfp one FR panel cables these are the fiddly pins which go to the bottom right once all the cables are done I'm then going to move on to this now this is nzid xt's vertical GPU mounting kit and this is going to be a pretty instrumental part of the build today now you might have noticed previously that the PCI Lanes in this case actually missing and that's where this comes in take all the lanes out Swap this in instead and we can mount the graphics card Versa C now you're still going to install it like you would a normal GPU instead though I'm going to pop the Riser into the top PCI slot add this bracket into place and then grab our 480 super Arrow just look at this it's honestly one of the best looking graphics cards I think you can buy just full stop now this one's completely box fresh so let me go ahead and get the thing unwrapped even got the peel on the back plate as well listen to this oh what a beauty it's going to perform great it's going to be awesome for 4K 1440p 1080p gaming what your CPU is more likely to be a bottleneck the 14700 K is really solid now I would recommend if you're going to copy this build doing all of the fans now and the GPU afterwards but I'm still waiting for a triple pack of the d30s to arrive for the bottom so I'm going to install this for now so we can see how it looks then take it out to add in my extra fans along the bottom and replace both the fan at the side and at the rear I've not just lost my marbles and I'm doing things in the wrong order I kind of am but there's a reason there's method to the madness Okay wow wow wow that is a beauty bit of cable management to do need to give the GPU some power get it screwed in add those fans look at performance in a few moments but first I think we all want to see a montage of what this thing looks like when it's actually powered up that looks unbelievable looking amazing got to say I love the combo of this H9 with those fantex fans white motherboard white GPU oh it's perfect but how is the performance cuz that ultimately is the bit that really matters now the first game I tested out was black myth Wukong at 4K Ultra High dlss 3 enabled frame gen enabled ra tracing on and set to ultra high you name it the setting is turned on at 4K here and the build did really well 70 FPS on average was a really playable gaming experience of course you could tune rate racing down or off completely if you want to break through that triple digit FPS Mark but I was really happy with this alen weight 2 is another RPG title really where you don't need super high frame rates but we want it to be smooth we want it to be enjoyable 4K High settings here dlss 3 enabled on quality again frame gen also enabled rate racing on high this time around and the frame rate clocked in at 71 FPS on average Allen weight 2 is such a good-looking game when you've got the power to run it and at 4K it looks glorious Call of Duty's war zone at 4K is is a title where FPS really matters and not just to the point where it's smooth but to the point where it's competitive too 4K High settings dlss on quality 129 FPS yes baby looking good really Competitive Gaming experience nice kills in here too just all around a good time Starfield UPS the anti a little bit it's a harder game to run 4K High settings again dss3 enabled frame gen on 106 FPS on average in Starfield really really pleased with that again the gaming experience expence really solid all around a title that's had a harder launch than many over the last sort of year or so but still did well on this system Hogwarts Legacy at 4K is next up high settings again and here the frame rate kind of in the middle of a game so far 81 FPS so more than the 70 earlier but not again through that triple digit barrier fortnite at 1080p competitive settings Tunes things right down the resolution rungs and down the settings runs too here just for fun the game achieved 3155 FPS on average because of course it did finally to wrap things bit of Apex Legends 4K High settings 205 FPS so the highest out of all the games today at 4K only falling down to fortnite which was tested at the much lower 1080p resolution what do you guys think of this build what do you think of the performance the parts I selected let me know in the comments down below and make sure to get subscribed if you'd like to see more from me thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
