**Building a Powerful Gaming PC with Corsair's CX-750F Power Supply**

The journey to building a powerful gaming PC has begun, and we're excited to share this adventure with our viewers. In this article, we'll take you through the process of assembling a beast of a machine that will surely impress even the most seasoned gamers.

Our build today is centered around Corsair's CX-750F power supply, which not only fits perfectly with our white silver theme but also offers a reliable and efficient way to power all our components. With 750 watts of clean power, this PSU has got everything we need to unleash our system's full potential.

**Screwing in the GPU**

The first component to be installed is the GPU, and we've chosen the powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. We secure it into place with care, making sure that all screws are tightened firmly but not too tightly, as we want to avoid any damage to the delicate components around it. With the GPU securely in position, we take a step back to admire our handiwork and make sure everything is tidy and organized.

**The Final Component: Power Supply**

With our GPU safely in place, we move on to installing the final component – the power supply. Corsair's CX-750F is an excellent choice for this build, offering plenty of power and a sleek design that complements our white silver theme perfectly. We insert the PSU into its designated slot, making sure all screws are securely tightened to prevent any accidental dislodging.

**Connecting Cables**

The final step in building our PC is connecting all the cables. This can be a tedious process, but it's essential to ensure that everything is properly connected and won't cause any issues down the line. We start by connecting the motherboard power cable to the PSU, followed by the PCIe power cables for our GPU and CPU. Finally, we add in the SATA power cables to connect our RGB fans, lighting system, and other peripherals.

**Boot-up and Performance Numbers**

With all components installed and connected, it's time to boot up our PC and see how it performs. We take a deep breath as we press the power button, and our system springs to life. The monitor flickers on, displaying a beautifully rendered image of our new build. We can't wait to dive into some gaming and see how our machine handles demanding titles.

**Performance Numbers**

Now that our PC is up and running, it's time to put it through its paces with some benchmarking tests. Our first test subject is Grand Theft Auto V, a game that pushes even the most powerful systems to their limits. We set our system to 4K high settings and take a deep breath as we await the results.

The numbers are in, and our results are stunning – 144 frames per second on average, with 122 and 111 for the 90th and 99th percentiles. Not bad for a game that's notorious for being challenging to run smoothly! We'll explore more benchmarking tests soon, but for now, let's take a look at our performance numbers in a graphical format.

**Benchmark Comparison**

Our system has performed admirably across multiple benchmarks, achieving impressive frame rates in titles like Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty: Warzone. Forza Horizon 5, on the other hand, was a different story – we achieved an incredible 83 frames per second at 4K ultra settings.

Apex Legends proved to be another testing ground for our system, with an impressive 140 frames per second at 1440p high settings. Fortnite took the cake in terms of sheer frame rate, with 240 fps at competitive settings. We'll dive deeper into these results soon, but for now, let's take a look at how our system compares to its competitors.

**Conclusion**

And that concludes our epic build adventure! Our Corsair CX-750F power supply has proven itself to be an excellent choice, delivering plenty of power and keeping all components cool under pressure. We're thrilled with the performance numbers, which have exceeded expectations in many cases. Stay tuned for more gaming content, and don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfreaky time what is up guys welcome back to another geek co-op video in this video i'm going to be building an awesome 2 000 gaming pc build for 2022. all of the twos i'll be walking you through all the components i selected for this build and why the colour scheme i've gone for probably a bit of a giveaway already and then of course walking through the performance later on after we've gone ahead and actually put the thing together without any further ado let's dive into it after a quick ad from today's video sponsor corsair's m65 rgb ultra wireless builds upon the legendary m65 design with the latest corsair slipstream wireless tech and much more with a 26 000 dpi corsair marksman sensor that can be adjusted in dpi steps as small as one this mouse means a business adjustable weight allows you to find your perfect center of gravity while omron optical switches deliver hyper-fast and precise responses everything you love about the m65 in 2021 now wireless check it out at the links in the description below as if the introduction wasn't a bit of a giveaway for this build i've gone for more of a white theme evident particularly when you take a look at the motherboard msi's brand new mpg z690 force wi-fi to be honest with you this motherboard was kind of the impetus for today's video so let's kick things off by building up the motherboard assembly where you install as many components into the board as possible holy mother of wi-fi msi were not messing about when they came to include in this desk mounted wi-fi antenna looks awesome anyway this is a great board you can see from the rear i o here we've got plenty of connectivity everything from usb 3 usbc wi-fi six two and a half gigabit ethernet no thunderbolt bit of a disappointment but you will get that on slightly higher end boards aesthetically though it looks awesome and of course supports the latest 12th gen intel cpus and that's where this comes in this right here is the intel core i5 12600k and to be honest with you whatever intel chip you go for depends on your use case if you're looking for gaming the i5 is great for a bit of productivity the i7 is super and if you just fancy getting the best performance on the market right now the i-912 900k is the cpu for you for this build though the i5 is going to be great with intel's latest performancy and efficiency cores it strikes a perfect balance between single and multi-threaded performance and my goodness does it make me pleased to see intel return to the market with a competitive cpu amd it's now your turn there's also something quite cool about this new socket design the intel have pioneered it's kind of like a wing opens from the bottom closes at the top and just looks really really quite cool now what we want to do next is install the ram or the memory and you may think james you've let the theme of the build down already the white theme got out the window we've got black memory but to be honest with you that's because there aren't many white ddr5 kits around full stop now for the new intel chips you can of course opt for a ddr4 or ddr5 setup and the option you choose will dictate the motherboard choice you need to go for the one thing i will say though is if you're going for a high-end setup you definitely want ddr5 it might be early days for the new ram standard but why bottleneck some of these really new expensive cpus by going for memory that's just plainly not quick enough now to install the memory into the motherboard this is going to be really really easy you guys have seen this a million times before but in case you haven't pull up the clips on the dimms we want the second and fourth dimm slots slide the ram into place nice and repeat that for as many dimms as you've got there's the other one there's two and we've got two slots left so we can install 64 gigs later on if 32 gigs of memory is just not quite enough for what you're looking to remember so to speak on your system now then once we've done that you need to go ahead and install the ssd but to do this things are getting a little bit complicated this top m.2 heatsink or heat shield needs removing and to do that you can't go ahead and use something like this a standard phillips head screwdriver it's just too big instead you'll need a small teeny tiny screwdriver a little bit like this one remove your heatsink at the top with a screw on either side and pick up your nvme ssd choice now for this video i've gone for the samsung ssd 980 pro this right here is a super fast gen 4 nvme drive that delivers read speeds at least in the region of 7 gigabytes per second this particular drive comes with a heatsink meaning we won't need to use the heat shield that msi include although the non-heatsink drives are also available if you prefer to hide your gen 4 nvme away and not see it when the build is all powered up secure it into place with the tallest little doodad the msi include no need for a screw and then you can keep your cover nice and safe in your motherboards box for the time being and once you've completed this step our beautiful motherboard assembly look at that it's complete and we can move on to the next stage of the build the cpu cooler and the case specifically for the caller i've picked up cortez h150i elite capellix which ties in perfectly with the white theme i've gone for in today's build now these coolers most of them will come with 12 gem mounting hardware included as standard but if they don't manufacturers will often provide upgrade kits like this one corsair shot this one over to allow us to install our lovely 150i elite capellix onto of course our msi force wi-fi inside of here you'll find a bag labeled intel hardware and in here contains all of the mounting bits and bobs we're going to need primarily we need this back plate you can see here it's actually got some 3m sticky tape which if we peel off will make our back plate nice and sticky now why would we want to do that well if we flip the motherboard over you'll be able to see here we've got the four holes for our intel mountain and basically if we don't put this on in a sticky capacity it'll fall off and get dead difficult to deal with enable the stickiness slot the back plate through the holes on the back of the motherboard push down firmly on each side and then you're basically good to go the back plate's through the motherboard and you should now see four silver threads essentially poke through the holes on the motherboard itself you will then find a couple of extra bags including one for intel lga 2011 that's not the one we need 1200 not one we want either and then finally lga 1700 the brand new intel socket type the screw threads appear to be slightly larger so that's just something to bear in mind take these out of your bag and screw them into the four threads we just looked at that will then firmly secure the back plate in to make sure it doesn't go anywhere and we'll complete the rest of the mountain later after we've looked at the case choice for this system now it would be true to say that there's lots and lots of case options on the market if you're looking to build a really nice white themed gaming pc but for this build given some of the other corsair component choices the iq 4000 x was just one of the only cases that actually made any sense with a standard atx form factor tempered glass side panel rgb fans included as standard the iq4000x is an awesome choice it's a little bit on the pricey side but let's be honest today's system is hardly one of our more budget builds you can go and check those out on the channel though if you're more interested i say this time and time again in our builds but lay the case down flat on the table for the next portion it makes your life so much easier and allows us to show off our fancy overhead camera angle what we need to do before installing the motherboard into the lovely corsair iq is remove a couple of the standoffs so you can see here we've got three standoffs at the top they're all in exactly the right place three along the middle they're also pretty much perfectly located and then three along the bottom one of which is already there we've got two stray ones in the middle so we're gonna move those down to the bottom with a handy standoff tool and then once we've done that install the motherboard the i o shield will poke through the rear with all your lovely ports and all that jazz and then you can screw the board down through each of the nine screws as i say three up top three another middle three along the bottom nice and simple and then we can finally install the cooler now to do this in our case today what we're gonna need to do is actually go ahead and remove the front panel right here behind this i've popped in three corsair ql that's these bad boys rgb fans they look absolutely stunning they do a great job as well of keeping the system cool what we need to do is take these ones out then put the radiator in behind them pop the screws all the way through and once you've done that the airflow and the cooling side of the video should be pretty much complete the only thing i'm slightly worried about actually now i think about it is gpu clearance right pause pause pause this could be a bit of a problem right so i've got myself the msi supreme 37 gti i'm just ruining the rest of the video but i'm a bit concerned that it might be too big with the radiator oh that's going to be tight oh we've got a tape measure so by the looks of things we've got how much clearance 29 millimeters so we need oh i'm i feel sick i actually feel sick we need our corsair radiator to be less than that which it might be it it is this video might have been saved let's um i guess there's only one way to find out and that way is actually to install the radiator and we'll come back to the gpu afterwards hope for the best and if not i do have a backup plan or at least i'm going to think of one before i next speak to the camera oh dear deary deary deary me i make these mistakes and bad decisions so you guys don't have to looking good so far but the true answers will be revealed in just a moment for now though we can add on our intel mounting brackets to our corsair cooler then we're going to drop a dab of thermal paste onto the cpu itself that's if i can get into this bottle of thermal paste i'm going to need to want one second i have retrieved the perfect tool for the job a pair of pliers there we go and we just want to drop a dab of thermal paste onto the cpu that is plenty kind of a large grain of rice equivalent with these new intel processors then we can add the cooler itself on and we can secure it into place with these thumb screws that come included with our new intel socket mounting hardware kit from corsair one on each corner tighten it across pattern and finish off with a screwdriver to make sure the cooler is nice and tight and not going to go anywhere and now it's time for the moment of truth it's time to install the one and only gpu in order to install the card we need to remove a couple of the pcie covers specifically slots two and three so i'm going to take out the one that's currently on the third pop that in the top to fill the void and then slide the gpu in here we go that's kind of looking promising so far it is very tight that just about went in oh my goodness i was not expecting that that is literally i want to say millimeters it's time for diy handyman james to see once again oh my goodness um four millimeters four millimeters of clearance you definitely couldn't go push pull on your radiator it's a good job i didn't go that adventurous with the fans but it does look great and the white silver theme is looking awesome so far let's screw the gpu in secure that into place and then i think we've only got one component left and that's our power supply to give all of our components nice juicy power this right here is corsair's cx-750f and to say that it fits with the theme of the build today would be an understatement we still might opt to put in some white sleeve cable extensions but even these stock will look pretty good with white cables they'll definitely match the theme the motherboard power cable is just not particularly aesthetically pleasing shall we say with the sleeved finish when something braided would look a bit better for us though that doesn't matter too much we're just gonna pop in the motherboard power cable one for our pcie graphics card one for the cpu and then a sata to power up all of our rgb fans lighting and all that good stuff and then you need to plug those connectors up to the other end starting with the motherboard cable like so then our two six plus two pin or eight pin connections for the gpu and then finally our four plus four or eight pin connections for the cpu this video isn't going to be a full cables and wiring guide sorry but if you'd like to find one of those he can on the channel for now though i think it's time to actually boot our system up and see how it looks in an epic glam montage in true gigawatt style before we look at the performance numbers shortly afterwards i'll see in a second but first roll that montage oh now that we've seen how good the pc looks and i'm not being funny i think it looks absolutely fantastic it's time to make sure the performance numbers stack up the same on your screen now is a snapshot a summary of all the different results all the frame rates all the settings that we achieved in some of the most popular titles don't worry we will be taking a closer look at individual games in just a moment but i like to use this view because it gives us a really good idea of the performance we're able to achieve the 37 tti slots in perfectly between the 3080 and cheaper 3070 and that shows evidently in gta 5 where at 4k high settings we achieved 144 frames per second on average with 122 and 111 for the 90 and 99th percentiles we'll pop some comparison spreadsheets on your screen throughout the benchmarks so you can see how this card stacks up against some of its cheaper and more expensive and equally out of stock rivals it was a very similar story in battlefield 2042 at least as far as the high performance levels are concerned we first tested at 1440p high settings achieving 91 fps that was with no dlss enabled turning on dlss and setting it to performance mode shot our frame rate up by around about 15 to 105 frames per second on average as you can see from the on-screen comparison dlss makes a huge difference here and smokes many amd games simply out of the water it was once again the same story in cod vanguard but more extreme this time 4k high settings gave us 70 fps on average with no dlss enabled while tuning dlss on gave us a staggering 40 fps more frame rate that's more than 40 percent of an increase as far as our frame rate goes with 110 on average moving on to the brand new forza horizon 5 this is the hardest to run racing game i've ever played and at 4k ultra settings we achieved 83 frames per second on average more than 60 frames which is always our target but for a racing game this frame rate is more than adequate what about halo infinite though well at 1440p i'm glad to report we achieved 125 fps in this title our next gaming test strong 90 and 99 results rounded off a very very impressive suite for halo infinite and i was really really pleased with the performance moving on to apex legends a more esports oriented title here at 1440p high settings we got 140 fps many people ask me james why don't you test this at low settings or 1080p well frankly 140 at 1440p high shows just how much more mileage there is if frame rate is the priority to round things out in our last gaming test then we also tested out fortnite at 1080p competitive settings here we achieved just shy of 240 fps with 210 and 189 for the 90 and 99 percentiles and with that that just about wraps it up for this one if you enjoyed it make sure to get subscribed drop a like rate and comment your thoughts questions or queries thanks for tuning in and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
