The ULTIMATE $3000 Gaming PC Build! 🤩 [HYTE Y70 Touch, 7900 XTX & 7950X3D]

The PC Build: A Unique Combination of Performance and Style

As we begin to build this PC, it's clear that we're aiming for a unique combination of performance and style. The case is a major part of this design, with a very slightly off-white tone on the plastic parts. While the back plate is more crystal clear, the cooler has a similar beige tone, which might actually work quite well together. To begin the build, we need to remove two PCI lanes from the motherboard and push the clip back onto the retention slot. This allows us to easily install the GPU into the system.

The Power Supply: A Minor Misstep

The power supply is another crucial component of this build, with the Corsair Shift RM 1200X being chosen for its sideways mounted cables. However, it seems that we may have messed up by putting the cables in first and then trying to put the power supply in. This is a bit of an odd approach, as the shift power supplies are designed to be installed from the bottom. Luckily, it appears that this won't be an issue after all. Instead, we'll simply need to place the power supply into its designated slot.

Customization and Upgrades

As we continue with the build, we're adding some easy DIY cable extensions and a few more white fans from Corsair. The Corsair QL Editions are perfect for this task, providing both great airflow and a sleek appearance. This will help to fill out the large case and make it look even more impressive.

The 4K Touchscreen Display: A Unique Feature

One of the standout features of this build is the 4K touch screen display on the Y70 touch. This display is capable of supporting up to 10-point multi-touch, allowing for a wide range of interactions and gestures. It also connects via both an internal USB-C header and a display port cable, making it easy to use as a separate monitor or integrate into the system.

The Performance: A Truly Impressive Display

As we test this build with a variety of games, it's clear that it delivers truly impressive performance. Starting with Starfield at 4K high settings, the build achieved an average of over 100 FPS, with 93 and 85 frames per second for the 90 and 99 percentiles. Moving on to Hogwarts Legacy at 4K, the build delivered a similar result, achieving an average of 94 FPS with 90 and 99% of our results being strong.

Fortnite and Apex Legends: A Truly Smooth Experience

When testing Fortnite at 108p competitive settings, we saw an average frame rate of over 300 FPS. However, it was when testing Apex Legends at 4K high that the build truly came into its own, delivering an average of 244 FPS with 90 and 99% percentile results.

The Verdict: A Unique and Powerful PC

This build has proven to be a unique and powerful combination of performance and style. The 4K touch screen display on the Y70 touch adds a new level of functionality to this system, making it perfect for monitoring PC information, changing music while gaming, or even using as a separate monitor. Whether you're looking for top-of-the-line performance in a compact form factor or simply want something that looks cool and has a unique selling point, this build is sure to impress.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeka video in this video I've challenged myself to build the ultimate white themed gaming PC build with an RX 7900 xdx ryzen 9 7950 x3d and this let me grab it the brand new height y70 touch one of the most insane PC cases I've ever seen it's got a 4k touchcreen on the front what let's do this the Cora Master Cube 500 flat pack is a case that lets you do it yourself with support for full-size specs in a compact form factor a highly adjustable design lets you build as you embb box and it really is like nothing El what's more support for up to eatx motherboards 360 mil long GPU and a 280 mil aiio up top make it super versatile for the latest components build it your way with the coola master Cube 500 now available in black white and macaron check it out at the first links in the description below I'm going to split this video down into two key sections first I'm going to run through all the parts that make it possible why I chose the parts I did and even give you guys some alternative choices for good measure and then second I'm going to see how the whole thing looks and performs in all of the latest titles but let me Begin by talking a little bit about this new case the height y70 touch height which is owned by ibby power has been on a bit of a roll recently creating the height y60 my favorite case ever it's what I'm Still rocking in my personal gaming setup at home and the y70 looks to build upon the y60 in a fairly modest way we SE a slight size increase which is going to further the cooling capacity of the case it should allow for plenty of intake at the bottom plenty of exhaust at the top and even 3 60 mil radiators on this sort of rear side piece you obviously get that sort of fish tank like aesthetic where you've got panels and panels but they've replaced the front glass panel with a touchcreen this is something that users that were buying the y60 were doing already and it was something i' considered doing for my own y60 but then this came along now in typical height fashion they haven't exactly gone and done this by halves not only is it a touchcreen pretty cool you're thinking James yeah and 4K touchcreen what 10p point multi touch AKA you can have all 10 fingers on here and moving around and it links with their new height Nexus software this is something I got a look at at comex earlier this year it's the software they're going to kind of be building up upon with all of their new releases and ecosystems my first impressions then with it was very very good for an early stage b a software and hopefully it's still good now there are obviously some interesting tradeoffs that then this does come with I suppose the screen it isn't cheap this case retails for around $350 now yes that's a lot of money but it's course a IQ 5000t territory and if you said to me James this are a 5000t probably going to pick pick something aesthetically at least that looks like this let's open her up and see how the whole thing works inside so fully tallest side panels out of the box plenty of ventilation while also not looking like one big piece of mesh the top piece should also just pull off pretty easy yeah look at that simple this is of course a dual chamber design so the PSU goes here and then we've got room for hard drives if you want to put hard drives I suppose you kind of need hard drive space in some capacity in a case this expensive and then the glass panels at the front should also pop off pretty simple the piece of glass just here is also removable but there should be no real reason to take that out and then what's interesting is behind the screen you've got a mini display port and a USBC connection the USBC connection is going to go presumably to your USBC header on the front of your motherboard while the mini display port goes into this half High PCI Lane at the back allowing you to presumably use this as either an external display or as a USBC interface via the height next to software and we'll look a little bit at that later on now full sizee 8X motherboard support you can get 360 Morad at the side here which is what I think I'm going to do but beware if you do this you're going to want that to be in intake rather than exhaust as that's kind of the whole point of a chassis like this one motherboard tray is well marked and a vertical GPU Mount is standard with the Y 60 the y40 and this case there is no option for horizontal mounted gpus you get PCI lanes that are here but they're half height meaning they're only good for like a Wi-Fi or a networking card with an adapter they're not going to fit graphics cards the good news is that you get 1 2 3 four full height PCI Lanes Plus another PCI Lane worth of space so big triple slot 40 series 7,000 series cards will be fine and of course this prevents GPU sag it looks nice it's just a really good solution in my opinion to Modern large siiz gpus I'm already a fan it is expensive and that isn't going to be for everyone but we'll look at it and see how it actually is to build in as we progress for now though let's look at some of the other parts so motherboard wise the Asus Prime x670 Pro is the motherboard that I've selected for this build now the only thing to know about this board is that it's not the most high-end x670 design out there and a lot of the choice for this board has been motivated by the Aesthetics I'm not planning on overclocking my x3d CPU anyway so it's going to be fine but if you are looking to push to the max this is not the board I would go for CPU installation is obviously pretty easy I'd like to Hope if you're building a five grand PC or however much this ends up costing probably more like 3 and a2k but you probably know how to install a ryzen CPU at this point Ram I've got no I've got the wrong Ram hang on bear with ow aha I found the right memory I'm going to go for two kits of the xpg Lancer RGB that's because 64 gigs which is perfect not only for gaming obviously 32 gigs is fine but also for the likes of video editing rendering productivity no one's building the rise9 PC for gaming alone at least they weren't the last time I checked you probably shouldn't you don't need to if it's gaming is all you're after yep 32 gigs of RAM does the job and this is X memory as well for good measure there's something quite satisfying about clicking all four dims in one by one oh Mr a bit Yeah SSD is going to be next mission failed try that again SSD is going to be next the Lexar NM 790 that was better this is a 2 tbte gem 4 mvme now you could go gem 5 I recently looked at the new xpg gem 5 drive and also the crucial The crucial t7 t700 they're good but they're not ready yet and they run so hot they need fans on some of them as well as large heat sinks that gem4 is going to be perfectly fine we don't need the extra speed although handy for video editing or gaming at this point as the drives come down get cheaper in price more affordable then obviously they will be considered for builds like these but currently too expensive too hot and a bit of a faff with that sorted pretty much done here going to add some CPU Cooler mounting hardware so why not talk about the cooler before I go ahead and do that this is the Deep cool ls720 wh now you might wonder why I've picked this particular option when the white fans aren't RGB or particularly exciting well earlier I mentioned that will be using that 360 mil rad in intake if we do that we can hide these fans at the back go for a pushpull config bring in extra air flow and of course they're still useful to have I like the water block design I like the radiator design just pretty Perfect all in all inside the Box you get the well looks to be an Intel bracket but this is an AMD build so we're not going to need that I think actually what we will need is the information and support is this a manual yes aha marvelous so if you've got plastic brackets then you want to remove these from the screw threads and add in the AMD specific screws instead ahu in particular these are the screws that you need before moving this into the case I am just going to pop on the AMD brackets as well and they go onto the bottom of the cooler now I think this actual sort of top plate yeah so that just comes off we'll keep that to one side for now and that's just going to make fascinating things to the cooler itself far far easier then the case is going to come back into the equation for the installation of the motherboard assembly so always good to lay the case flat one of The Oddities of this case is that the sort of vertical GPU Mount kind of gets in the way at this stage to unscrew that pull it out and just sort of hold it out the way for the next step then is a case of grabbing the motherboard sliding it in there we go line up with the rear iio Shield once the actual screws for the motherboard in this can also go back in at the same time into the top PCI slot to keep it out the way and enable the vertical GPU Mount to work a bit later nine screws three in the middle three across the top three across the bottom and then it's party time as far as the radiator goes I'm going to start by installing all of the Corsair ql Edition fans on the front-facing side of the radiator in intake that's pulling air through the rad once those three fans are on with the cables neatly managed to the sort of left hand side of the radiator I'll add in the stock deep cool fans while clumping the whole thing to the y70 support for a 360 mil rad in this position is really impressive the top mount is also a good option if you want to go for that but I think a side mounted options a little bit different and the whole point of today's build is to just go that step further once the radiator's in you can step back and admire your hard work but not for too long as it's GPU time yes very excited so radon RX 79 100xt powercolor how Hound what more is there to say if you want a 4K GPU and don't want to spend 4090 money this is what I would buy and this beautiful white version from Power color it looks so good and it's going to really really work in the system today let's just hover it in have a bit of a taste of what we've got ourselves in for oh yes look at that now the GPU is like very very very slightly off-white at least the plastic the back Plate's a little bit more crystal clear but the cooler is a similar sort of minorly beige tone so it might actually work quite well couple of PCI Lanes to remove push the clip back on the retention slot then the GPU goes in nice and easy I have to say that is looking mighty fine next stage is the power supply I might screwed up here I might actually have messed up now in order to find out if I've messed up I need to actually take the power supply so this is the Corsair shift RM 1200X and aside for being frankly a little bit overkill for this build it also has sideways mounted cables and I'm not sure whether or not that's going to work in this case okay no it looks like it will Panic averted but we are going to have to put the cables in before putting the power supply in which is kind of the whole opposite idea of the actual shift power supplies in the first place so cables first then the PSU can go in probably don't get the shift version I actually think it makes things more complicated in this case than easy I'll link Alternatives down at the affiliate links in the description below also you don't really need 1200 WS 1,000's fine but I want the option to potentially swap some bits out in this build later down the line and the price difference wasn't that big at the time of purchasing I'm also going to add in some easy DIY Fab cable extensions and a few more of these I've got those white fans cors ql editions three for the top one for the back it's going to help with airflow obviously but it also looks good and fills what is a very very large case and with that it's pretty much good to go and I'm super excited to try the screen out first allow me a few minutes to wire this thing up and then let's have a play before taking a deep dive into performance I do want to take a look at the screen on the y70 touch now this is a 4K 10-point multi-touch display now what that means is you can use all 10 fingers you can zoom in you can zoom out you can interact with it it's super responsive and connects up via both an internal USB C header and a display port cable the display port cable enables you to use this as a separate Monitor and you can put whatever you want on here as you normally would within windows but you can also load up Heights Nexus software which I think is personally the most useful to adjust custom widgets monitor CPU and GPU usage change your music on Spotify it really is impressive I mean it's even got a game of Tetris built in it's really very cool some might think this is a bit of a gimmick but actually I think as long as you mount will'll store this PC on top of a table where you can easily access and use the screen I think it could be a really useful way of monitoring all your important PC information changing your music while you're gaming especially for those of you rocking only a single ultrawide monitor as an example that just leaves us with the performance to check out I've tested this build with a wide range of titles to see just how well it Stacks up starting with Starfield at 4K High settings to really push things to the Max here the build achieved over 100 FPS 102 frames per second on average with 93 and 85 for the 90 and 99 percentiles move through into Hogwarts Legacy once again at 4K and the build achieved at high settings and 94 FPS average 90 and 99% of our results are good and as always we use both R tuna and Nvidia frame view side by side to capture all of the FPS data war zone 2 at 4K high with FSR set to Quality on the 7900 xdx delivered 100 35 FPS on average with 126 of 111 for the 90 and 99 percenti results while moving through into fortnite at 108p competitive settings yielded over 300 FPS on average always like to test this for a bit of fun see how high we can push the frame rate the answer very high indeed Apex Legends at 4K high in the build pulled in 244 FPS on average 90 and 99 percenti results in the region of 223 and 1 195 this is a build that really does mean business if you're looking for top EMP performance in a form factor that looks cool and has the really unique selling point that is the 4K touch screen on the y70 touch what do you think would you buy this build what do you think of the case in particular let me know in the comments down below thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys
