Building a PC to Perfection: A Detailed Guide and Review

As I began building my latest PC, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The build was going to feature a custom white cable design, which I had been eager to try out. To start, I decided to tackle the power cables first. I carefully managed them to create an aesthetically pleasing look, using the same paint color for all the cables. This attention to detail was essential in creating a visually appealing build.

The next step was to install the motherboard, GPU, and CPU. I chose to use the 12-pin custom cable for the GPU, which added a touch of elegance to the build. The CPU power connectors were a bit tricky to manage, but ultimately, they looked great. I also used the stock cables from the motherboard and graphics card to add a pop of color to the build. With these components in place, the build was starting to take shape.

To complete the build, I added some finishing touches, including RGB fans and cable management. The front panel cables were still missing, but that would be addressed later. As I powered on the PC for the first time, it sprang to life with a vibrant display of colors. The motherboard had automatically switched to a different LED mode, which highlighted the front three fans and rear fan in quick succession.

One minor adjustment was needed - the rainbow effect on some fans wasn't quite right. To fix this, I decided to wire all the cables together using the motherboard's control panel. This would allow me to fine-tune the lighting effects and create a more refined look. After reorganizing the cables, I finally had a build that looked truly exceptional.

The moment of truth arrived when it was time to put the PC through its paces. First up was Call of Duty: Warzone, which ran smoothly at 4K High settings with an average frame rate of 133 FPS. This was impressive, especially considering the use of DLSS and a quality preset that still maintained excellent visual fidelity.

Modern Warfare 3 fared equally well, with an average frame rate of 152 FPS at 4K High and the Quality preset. However, Starfield proved to be a more challenging game, resulting in an average frame rate of only 83 FPS at 4K High. Despite this, the PC still delivered respectable performance.

Hogwarts Legacy was another test, with the system managing an average frame rate of 149 FPS at 4K, which was slightly better than the 4090's performance. Fortnite at 1080p Competitive settings yielded a whopping 328 FPS on average, while Apex Legends ran smoothly at 4K High with over 200 FPS.

As I sat back to admire my handiwork, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction. The build had turned out better than I could have ever imagined, thanks to careful planning and attention to detail. Now, all that's left is to see how this system performs in real-world gaming scenarios.

In conclusion, this PC build was an exercise in perfectionism, with every component meticulously chosen and installed to create a visually stunning machine. With its custom white cable design, RGB fans, and impressive performance capabilities, this build is sure to turn heads among PC enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just starting out, this build has something for everyone.

The 480 Super is an excellent choice for those looking for a powerful system without breaking the bank. Its compact size and impressive cooling system make it an ideal choice for small form factor builds. The custom cable design adds a touch of elegance to the overall look, while the RGB fans provide a nice finishing touch.

In terms of performance, this build delivers across the board. From 4K gaming to 1080p Competitive settings, the 480 Super consistently produces impressive frame rates and visuals. While it may not rival the more expensive 4090 in some areas, its price point makes it an attractive option for those looking for a powerful system without the hefty price tag.

Overall, this PC build is a must-see for anyone interested in computer hardware or just looking for inspiration for their own builds. With its perfect blend of style and performance, this machine is sure to impress even the most discerning enthusiasts.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enif you've watched my channel before you'll know that I like nothing more than an allwhite ice cold gaming PC build but tracking down high quality well performing allwhite components for every part in a build can be a real challenge so today I'm updating my allh PC build guide with what I think might just be the best set of Parts yet let's do this take your build to the next level with APAC of sleek RGB ddr5 memory available with a wide range of speeds and capacities the Pacer Panther lineup has a kit for everyone a great looking aluminium alloy heat sink offers excellent heat dissipation while Intel XMP 3.0 an AMD Expo certification means this Ram is a great fit for team red and team blue systems plus RGB support in Asus gigabyte MSI and ASRock software Suites makes this an easy addition to any build learn more at the first link in the description below I typically start my builds by looking at the CPU and of course the GPU combo but today I mean the CPU we'll worry about that later this graphic card really is the main character now this is the zot gaming RTX 4080 super and white graphics cards used to be a nightmare like there were just none and now there's so many more options we've had great choices in from MSI Asus pallet even gigabyte have got a range of white gpus too but I've Loved this Zotac Trinity cooler for absolutely ages so when I saw they had a white version oh boy I could not resist now I've only to this point seen images and renders of this card and videos on online so I'm hoping it doesn't let me down look at that so unlike others it Slims the number of silver accents down you still get a little bit of color here on the Zotac logo and the he said welln not white is silver rather than being black three fans it it's just really really nice and I like how it isn't too boxy or too Square I'd wanted an RTX 480 super for this build anyway the reason being that the 490 is obviously so expensive it's just complete Enthusiast grade and obviously upcoming rumors of a potential 50/90 make that a hard one to just ify at like $22,000 plus this provides us more performance on the whole than the 7900 XTX from AMD and gives us all the features we might like to use such as ra tracing dss3 not an ad I just think of you're spending a lot of money and I've talked about this in a recent top gpus video that these features are useful especially on that high end the big challenge with the white build is trying to make sure all the different shades of whites match okay and the first test I think is pretty good I think that is a fairly close match to the case for this system so let's talk about the case shall we this is the Deep cool CH 560 mesh in white it's certainly not the first time I've used this case although I've only ever built in the Black Version before now you get a magnetic really nice temper glass side panel and what's unique is all this mesh at the bottom which is going to help and Aid with temperatures while also not really showing too many sort of cable mess or cable clutter and keeping your GPU crucially in sight now as if that wasn't enough you also get 3 140 mil fans pre-installed at the front of the case all argb and a 120 mil fan at the back as well I quite like deepal fans they're pretty good and we shouldn't need to swap these out for anything which is going to save a bit of money this build is not intended to be a system that's cheap but I also don't want to just throw bits away for the sake of it in an Endeavor to try and make things look stupidly good at unlimited expense you'll notice immediately one thing that deep cool have done well here that a lot of other case manufacturers fail at is they've made all the internal elements white now the standoffs are black which helps to see them and they'll be hidden by the motherboard there's also a hint of black here where they've done the plastic morning for the I/O so that could be a bit better but again it should be hidden when looking from the front all the grommets are white which is really great even the fan cables and stuff it's something that really frustrates me when you're trying to build a system to a color scheme and Brands go through random accents that we just do not want and that's the same reason that I've also picked up this deep cool cooler now not only does it again fit with the White theme tiny bit of black on here on the actual water block but the tubes themselves are white but it all comes down to color matching now you will notice unlike When You're Building A system that say black there are new nous different shades of white there's like an eggshell white more of a beige white there's a brilliant white there's a matte white there's a gloss white there's so many different variations and it makes synchronizing everything up in the right way really quite challenging so you can see what I mean here when it comes to that water block even the top plate what it looks black on the photos is a reflective kind of mirrored finish so when all the fans and all the rgbs go in should look pretty great even these fans should match perfectly with the white fans already in the chassis and be the same shade you can also see we got white tubes you can see they've just gone all out here and ensuring this fits the color scheme with very few non-white accents something that's going to be really important when it comes to making this build look polished and fresh and the theme of course continues with the motherboard I'm going to stop talking about what colors things are because well they're all the same color this is the gigabyte b650 orus Elite ax ice and this obviously gives the game away this is an AMD build if of course you haven't spotted now 7800 x3d processor ready now this b650 board is one of my personal favorites and I'm going to talk about color schemes again aren't I yes I am it looks absolutely stunning and glorious gigabyte have done such a good job you see BS with white accents but black pcbs it's a white PCB yes there are obviously black PCI slots black memory dims black connections a lot of these are unavoidable and obviously once we've got components and stuff installed into this board should really blend in quite nicely in terms of all the features that actually matter though we have decent vrm calling around the CPU good to see rear panel has Wi-Fi 6 USB 3.2 2 and a half gig ethernet and then our audio ports as well certainly not a low-end b650 board going to be cheaper and save you money over the higher end x670 options talking to which the CPU doesn't need x670 we don't need extreme overclocking and that's because amd's ryzen 7 7800x 3D isn't really overclockable anyway it's something that lots of people don't realize about the 7800 X 3D it's a chip that you're going to be running at stock speeds so yes having good power deliver is important it's still a chip that consumes a couple hundred watts of juice but we don't need need to be able to push things that bit further there is a pretty big Gulf between the features you get on a B series chipset from AMD and the features you get on a B series chipset from Intel so it's certainly an area you can save some money I find it really fantastic with what AMD have done with their 3D stacked cash and I'm kind of surprised that Intel is so slow to catch up with them maybe it's something we see during 15th gen maybe not what do you guys think let me know in the comments down below so CPU is into place I'm going to do the Ram or memory next and for this I've gone for a kit that I've not actually used before and again it all comes down to color matching this is a slightly different shade of memory to the Corsair Vengeance RGB kit I could have gone for and it's from Lexar it's their Aries kit now Lexar probably more well known for you know SD cards and external ssds but they make Ram 2 and they make some really quite nice kits I'm going to use the second and fourth ramom slots for this build so that's just going to slot in the wrong way round there we go it's slightly weird this stuff goes in with the label pointing that way which is a little bit odd so Lex are a few happen to be watching this for whatever reason please put the sticker on the other side because it's really annoying and that's the side obviously we can see has the sticker whereas the side that in the build you're not going to be able to see doesn't have the sticker very very weird design decision mpme Drive is next and I've picked up for this build Samsung's 990 Pro in fact I have got a bit of an admission to make I actually ruined Samsung's 990 Pro with CPU thermal paste cleaner and that's happened this is a two terab B one is about as good as you're going to get when it comes to gem 4 mvme drives and it's going to install pretty easily into this top m.2 slot right here the next step is to figure out the CPU caller situation and again look at this deep cool have given us silver screws so not as good as white screws would have been but I think the white screw the paint tends to come off them so I can't really knock them for that there's various bits of mounting hardware the things we actually need though is this bag here this includes the four standoffs that you need for an AMD ryzen config the ones I need for this build though are in this bag and they're the ones with the black bits at the bottom we're going to screw these into the threads with the black plastic facing downwards and that's going to give me four posts on which I can install the CPU Cooler technically this next step could wait until later but I am going to finish the CPU Cooler mounting prep now you'll see here there's some thumb screws which can wait but here's some really small screws these are going to go onto these silver brackets and install onto the bottom of the water block that will make it fully rise and ready so that when we're actually able to proceed and put it in the case it minimizes the number of things that I actually need to do and then I can pop the motherboard in now all the kind of standoffs and stuff will be in the right place it's an ATX board in an ATX case the built-in rear iio Shield as well he's going to set us up nicely catching on something there we are perfect all the screws and stuff you can see are on the table now they're all included in a bag at the rear of the case so simply a case of securing the motherboard down three screws along the top three along the middle and three down the bottom the center standoff in the board just here is actually holding the board for me making things a lot lot easier pretty standard across basically all cases nowadays next step is the radiator and this is I think where things are going to really start feeling like they come together now tubes wise I think I'm going to put the tubes on the sort of far frontal side it's just going to look a bit cleaner meaning that the fans are going to go on the bottom deep cool fans have got this cool kind of like daisy chain system going on as well so that's going to make Cable Management a lot easier for them and if I spin this round you'll see what I mean so you've got the cable from one fan simply just plugs right in to the cable on the next one look at that nice and easy that then basically just is one port that needs to receive like power and obviously the RGB signals and it's going to pass them through all the other fans and because the cables will be at the rear you won't actually see any of this slack anyway screws for the radiator complete included up to 12 you can install here I'd recommend doing all 12 to be honest with you on a radiator it just makes sense to get everything installed and do it properly not only will this help keep the fans all in place nice and securely but it just looks a lot more uniform when looking up at the radiator too did have a couple of challenges getting this thing in namely when it comes to actually the fan at the rear that had to come out in order to get the rad in and then the fan has of course gone back in now so we're back on the cooling game we can just spin that little plate as well look at it looks so good and then just going to screw this thing in thumb screws so do these by hand to begin with just get them seated and you can see there's still a little screwdriver thread on the top so we can actually talk and tighten them up with the screwdriver have to say though oh my God it's looking good so happy with this so happy I know that at this stage of the build I should really proceed by putting the power supply in but I just want to see how good this GPU looks so I'm just going to do the GPU anyway and then moan about how hard the cables are afterwards that's how we do things on the channel now this oh gosh look at it so good it's going to go into the top P the I slot and by the looks of things yes that means the second and third covers are what we need to remove at the rear so do a little screw there to get that out and then I can slide it in I'm just like a kid at Christmas in May June 2024 anyway this is going to go in I've lost the plot to the top slot bit of pressure is it lined up not quite lined up aha ah yes we're in we are in and doesn't that look incredible oh my goodness now the cherry on top of all this I know I haven't screwed it in yet I'll do that in a minute is the power supply this is deep Cold's PX 1000g wh and massive shout out to deep cold I basically reached out and was like yo you know that new white case you've got um which I really like I would like a white power supply for it too and a white cooler I got to say you know deep cool just some of the darkest horses in the industry right now you know you look at our CPU coer testing graph that we've been compiling and you know we're testing coolers from all the big names out there and we're running the identical stress tests and seeing what coolers ranked top and consistently not only on absolute performance of deep cool coolers very often topping the charts or well bottoming the charts cuz it's temperature lowest the highest but on the price of performance metrics we've run as well we've seen some amazing results now this power supply is not going to cost you anywhere near as much as some of the other white options it's 80 plus gold and cybernetics platinum plus it atx3 which means we'll have that all important PCI gem 5 power cable Inside the Box you get another box with all the cables in which is actually really heavy and then the power supply which is even put into white poyene probably that's just the the color it comes I suppose but it's a nice touch nonetheless and wow don't the TL accents on this look good really really matches well again all important thing have they used the same paint yes yes they have again I know you can't see it but it's all about attention to detail in a build like this now we're not going to have very much luck with a European plug although I appreciate that it's also color themed and then inside look at those now I'm actually feeling a bit silly because I went online and specifically bought some easy DIY Fab white sleeved extensions for this build and while they look good and I'm still going to use them the white cables in this actually look kind of fantastic anyway so probably the motherboard one you could use CPU you can't see and obviously the GPU we're going to use the 12pin custom cable anyway oh my goodness me I am in PC build in heaven right now CPU power we're going to need two of those I think although heaven knows how I'm going to put the CPU power connectors in GPU power cable in white yes going to put that in and then motherboard cable also obviously in the right color scheme and a SATA power cable where's one of those no hard drives or ssds but do have RGB and stuff to sort out in the build as well when it comes to cables and wiring as I say I will use the white motherboard extension but I think for the CPU and the graphics card the stock cables are going to look absolutely Splendid and with a bit of look I think I might be nearly done there's still some cable management to do and general tidying and I haven't yet put in the front panel cables but will it turn on and power up I just cannot wait so let's go ahead and find out oh yes that's all all right different LED modes should change all the fans at the front so we can get those synced up with the ones at the top and just like that it's booted I've got to say I'm not 100% sure on the rainbow puke especially on these front three fans very very quick and the one at the rear so what I'm going to do is wire all this up to the motherboard jump into the motherboard control and get it looking that bit more refined as you can tell from the back as well I've also got quite a lot of cave management to do so I'll rejoin you after the cable management for of course some benchmarks to see how this thing performs oh yeah and uh maybe a cheeky little Montage in the middle too moving through into performance and the 480 super performs about as you'd expect and by that I mean very well in basically everything the first game I tested out was Call of Duty's war zone 4K High settings here the build really really did well 133 FPS on average this was leveraging dlss at the Quality preset which obviously has the more minimal performance upside but also keeps that visual Fidelity looking as strong as possible I was really impressed with the numbers here and thought for 4K this was pretty competitive Modern Warfare 3 is a similar story 4K high dlss on quality the frame rate very similar with 152 FPS on average we always see Modern Warfare 3 perform slightly better than War Zone on the frame rate from and this build was no exception Starfield is next and it was admittedly more of a struggle 4K High and the build only pulled an 83 I say only 83 FPS on average still really pretty decent but obviously we have seen better and I think this just goes to show how hard of a game Starfield is to run so this system while a 4K build may have areas where 1440p is particularly a bit more advantageous Hogwarts Legacy at 4K was a pretty similar story previously with a 1490 we've achieved more like 100 FPS here we were down at 85 frames per second on average so about 15% slower then nvidia's much more expensive 4090 I don't want to say rival it's it's the step up right the 480 super in Hogwarts did well but frame rates I wish were a little bit better fortnite picked up significantly as you might expect at 1080p competitive settings with 328 FPS on average you might be like James why are you testing this everyone always asks us so here we are 328 at 1080p comp while Apex Legends rounds off our testing 4K High and the system pulled in over 200 FPS 202 frames per second to be precise on our average what do you guys think of this build let me know in the comments below get subscribe to see more from us if you did enjoy this one and as always we'll see you in the next oneif you've watched my channel before you'll know that I like nothing more than an allwhite ice cold gaming PC build but tracking down high quality well performing allwhite components for every part in a build can be a real challenge so today I'm updating my allh PC

uniform when looking up at the radiator too did have a couple of challenges getting this thing in namely when it comes to actually the fan at the rear that had to come out in order to get the rad in and then the fan has of course gone back in now so we're back on the cooling game we can just spin that little plate as well look at it looks so good and then just going to screw this thing in thumb screws so do these by hand to begin with just get them seated and you can see there's still a little screwdriver thread on the top so we can actually talk and tighten them up with the screwdriver have to say though oh my God it's looking good so happy with this so happy I know that at this stage of the build I should really proceed by putting the power supply in but I just want to see how good this GPU looks so I'm just going to do the GPU anyway and then moan about how hard the cables are afterwards that's how we do things on the channel now this oh gosh look at it so good it's going to go into the top P the I slot and by the looks of things yes that means the second and third covers are what we need to remove at the rear so do a little screw there to get that out and then I can slide it in I'm just like a kid at Christmas in May June 2024 anyway this is going to go in I've lost the plot to the top slot bit of pressure is it lined up not quite lined up aha ah yes we're in we are in and doesn't that look incredible oh my goodness now the cherry on top of all this I know I haven't screwed it in yet I'll do that in a minute is the power supply this is deep Cold's PX 1000g wh and massive shout out to deep cold I basically reached out and was like yo you know that new white case you've got um which I really like I would like a white power supply for it too and a white cooler I got to say you know deep cool just some of the darkest horses in the industry right now you know you look at our CPU coer testing graph that we've been compiling and you know we're testing coolers from all the big names out there and we're running the identical stress tests and seeing what coolers ranked top and consistently not only on absolute performance of deep cool coolers very often topping the charts or well bottoming the charts cuz it's temperature lowest the highest but on the price of performance metrics we've run as well we've seen some amazing results now this power supply is not going to cost you anywhere near as much as some of the other white options it's 80 plus gold and cybernetics platinum plus it atx3 which means we'll have that all important PCI gem 5 power cable Inside the Box you get another box with all the cables in which is actually really heavy and then the power supply which is even put into white poyene probably that's just the the color it comes I suppose but it's a nice touch nonetheless and wow don't the TL accents on this look good really really matches well again all important thing have they used the same paint yes yes they have again I know you can't see it but it's all about attention to detail in a build like this now we're not going to have very much luck with a European plug although I appreciate that it's also color themed and then inside look at those now I'm actually feeling a bit silly because I went online and specifically bought some easy DIY Fab white sleeved extensions for this build and while they look good and I'm still going to use them the white cables in this actually look kind of fantastic anyway so probably the motherboard one you could use CPU you can't see and obviously the GPU we're going to use the 12pin custom cable anyway oh my goodness me I am in PC build in heaven right now CPU power we're going to need two of those I think although heaven knows how I'm going to put the CPU power connectors in GPU power cable in white yes going to put that in and then motherboard cable also obviously in the right color scheme and a SATA power cable where's one of those no hard drives or ssds but do have RGB and stuff to sort out in the build as well when it comes to cables and wiring as I say I will use the white motherboard extension but I think for the CPU and the graphics card the stock cables are going to look absolutely Splendid and with a bit of look I think I might be nearly done there's still some cable management to do and general tidying and I haven't yet put in the front panel cables but will it turn on and power up I just cannot wait so let's go ahead and find out oh yes that's all all right different LED modes should change all the fans at the front so we can get those synced up with the ones at the top and just like that it's booted I've got to say I'm not 100% sure on the rainbow puke especially on these front three fans very very quick and the one at the rear so what I'm going to do is wire all this up to the motherboard jump into the motherboard control and get it looking that bit more refined as you can tell from the back as well I've also got quite a lot of cave management to do so I'll rejoin you after the cable management for of course some benchmarks to see how this thing performs oh yeah and uh maybe a cheeky little Montage in the middle too moving through into performance and the 480 super performs about as you'd expect and by that I mean very well in basically everything the first game I tested out was Call of Duty's war zone 4K High settings here the build really really did well 133 FPS on average this was leveraging dlss at the Quality preset which obviously has the more minimal performance upside but also keeps that visual Fidelity looking as strong as possible I was really impressed with the numbers here and thought for 4K this was pretty competitive Modern Warfare 3 is a similar story 4K high dlss on quality the frame rate very similar with 152 FPS on average we always see Modern Warfare 3 perform slightly better than War Zone on the frame rate from and this build was no exception Starfield is next and it was admittedly more of a struggle 4K High and the build only pulled an 83 I say only 83 FPS on average still really pretty decent but obviously we have seen better and I think this just goes to show how hard of a game Starfield is to run so this system while a 4K build may have areas where 1440p is particularly a bit more advantageous Hogwarts Legacy at 4K was a pretty similar story previously with a 1490 we've achieved more like 100 FPS here we were down at 85 frames per second on average so about 15% slower then nvidia's much more expensive 4090 I don't want to say rival it's it's the step up right the 480 super in Hogwarts did well but frame rates I wish were a little bit better fortnite picked up significantly as you might expect at 1080p competitive settings with 328 FPS on average you might be like James why are you testing this everyone always asks us so here we are 328 at 1080p comp while Apex Legends rounds off our testing 4K High and the system pulled in over 200 FPS 202 frames per second to be precise on our average what do you guys think of this build let me know in the comments below get subscribe to see more from us if you did enjoy this one and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
