Just wanted to say thank you very much for this video. It helped me out so much! I am a first time builder and there was no videos really with this exact motherboard and the cooler Master installation. I went with the gtx 1070, evga 850bq, Intel i5 6600k, 16gb 3200 Ddr4 Ram, Western digital black 1tb, Samsung 850 evo 250gb ssd and a thermaltake v71 case. I am just finishing up the build thanks to you and will boot it up soon
Great Build, your camera guy did a great job of following your build congrats to him ( or her, don't know). BTW after watching this I will never buy RAM without LEDs, looks awesome, Thank You
Love the fact that you showed the detail. Building my first PC with my 10 yr old son over the holiday season. Waiting on BF for the good deals and assembling it over Christmas break with him. He wants to be a TH-camr. Which I always support entrepreneurs. I'm going 6600k/z170/GTX 1070 with a 1440p high refresh. Gotta admit, this guy will be gaming on this rig too! While teaching the little one content marketing and video production. One pointer, connect with your audience better by letting us know your name, not just Awe of Tech. Name the kitten Cheeto!
1070 wtf get a EVGA FTW gtx 1080 costs 679.99 USD and makes life easier
Techno Creeper a 1070 is $240 ish less. From researching benchmarks, it doesn't seem cost effective for the small boost in GPU performance you get going from a 1070 to a 1080. Do you have a particular reason you feel so strongly about your recommendation?
If you're gonna get a 1080 its way more expensive If you have the money I would wait for the 1080ti over the 1080
30:20 :)
Awesome video. I am an old man building my first computer, a Z270 with I7-7700. I am a little slow with the wiring, but you have helped me so much. I thank you.
that was at least 3 times the needed amount of thermal paste
yep xD
Not 3 times the amount, maybe a little bit over...It will be fine it won't overheat!
It's a myth. Amount of thermal paste doesn't matter unless you use too little.
MMMHOTCHEEZE spoken like a true gentleman
MMMHOTCHEEZE in that case I'm using the whole thing my cpu will be -99999999 degrees
woaaa what is this timing!? i was just about to build my first gaming pc and was wondering how to do it. Good stuff man keep it up!
This guy really has no fucking cable managment skills
My eyes hurts after seeng it D:
tim isaksen Yeah, but because we actually fucking cared about learning the whole process carefully. Fuck the cables you dumbass, that's the least of worries. Look at your room bitch.
My room? thats old hahahaahah i live for my self now ;) Building a PC is easy...
Hector Tio Salamanca I need tips cuz I'm going to build my own PC so plz give me some tips
Decide over Intel or AMD. Intel i5 skylake and i7(price is kinnda high right now) or AMD ryzen motherboard and CPU at the end of March(price unknown). Ryzen has a real 8 core processor( 8 physical cores, 16 threads) wich means that if you buy Ryzen mobo and CPU you get 2xi7's bassicly. DDR4 RAM for both (8 GB is the minimum; buy 2 or 4 sticks to make use of dual-channel), and a 550W-650W PSU from any popular brand(CX, EVGA,etc.). GPU should be this generation, preferably 8 GB for future, 4 GB if you plan on buying something new in the next 2 years. (anything from RX 4XX series or Nvidia GTX 10xx series. You pick RX 470 or 480 for future gaming(4 years or so), or GTX 1080(but the 1080 is overpriced). RX 460 and GTX 1060 and 1070 should last you about 2 years. SSD X1 , HDD X 1(pick sizes yourself). And if you want, a custom cooler ( Hyper EVO 212 OR 212x; 212x is the newer model but not much different.
very "GOOD" tutorial. that is one hell of a mess for the cables. very WELL DONE.
Just finished my pc build and it works THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
THANK YOU Brotherman! You rock man.... I looked for hours trying to find the simple tutorial.
I'm building a pc very similarly to this soon so this video will come in handy, great video bro keep it up
This was so helpful, just bought mine and hit a wall. Thanks for the help, great video!
Thos guy might not explained as well but his footage is on top !!!
I noticed at the end of the video you recommended plugging in the monitor to the mother board. I would recommend plugging in the monitor to the video card. Cable management helps air flow which will ultimately keep your computer cooler.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
My only observation is that you would do much better if the case was laid on its side to install stuff. Watching your video, folks will assume a vertical installation is easy.
+TokenAsianGuy good point, I should mention that next time, glad you liked the vid :)
This is how all comments should be, constructive criticism and feedback, good job 😁
Great video! I think some people missed the point that this is more of a "how to" instead of showing off a badass rig. I'm no expert in creating videos or anything but I think that the windows should be in front of you and behind the cameras to get the best possible lighting. Great video though. Very helpful!
Subscribed, imma build my first gaming pc next year (3months to go!) and this would help me so much by then.
+Apis Yusof thanks for subbing :) glad I could help :) enjoy your new PC
Name the Kitten "Gamer!"
Also thanks for the detailed step by step institutions Should help me when I build my rig next year.
+Hudson Ball glad I could help :)
man this cooler is a monster
Great video. Just one thing: The light should be in front of you, but not behind you (the light that comes through the window).
Thank you.
Great instructional video and thank you for providing the price list as well. :)
+Jenn MArie you'r welcome, thank you for watching :-)
some dude stole your video, which I really enjoyed this video, so I had find you and sub you man I enjoyed this! I'm using some of these components to build my first computer, I'm going water-cooled instead for fun :) once again thanks for the video!
just finished building my pc thanks man this video helped out sosososo much
That's the sweetest kitty ever!
Hi, am very amazed with the level of skill in this video, would like to find out if you build one for me when am ready?
personally i'd have gone with an aio & def go with some nice red n black cable extensions,hate the ketchup n mustard & you need better cable management other than that it's a nice build john
very good tutorial! incredibly thorough.
+roaringleo57 thnx so much:)
Really nice build/video, dude!
thank you!!i habe new pc(gaming) .It's really fast and thanks for tutorial because i don't know to build a pc..i learn from you and i build it . I save 800$ to buing pre-build thank you
Nice build! Easy to follow. Thank you.
I will build my first pc to this, thank you :)
There is a opening on the the back of the case for the 8 pin power connector you just have to rout it up there before you install your motherboard, i built my brother's computer in that exact same case.
by the time i get that much money this build would be outdated XD
Finally found a guy who's in same boat as mine :feelsbadman:
Wait till early next year for AMD zen than build a budget micro atx build with a zen cpu and budget gpu for 1080p like the Gtx 1050ti, that'd be under 1k usd with an Os from Microsoft
Mac Barnett hi 5
No it wouldn't unless you're a 5 year old kid.
i like how he starts out with cable mannagement and then totaly ignores it after doing 2 or 3 routings of cables
Hey, I'm going with the 700 dollar build you recommended in your other video. I've never built a pc before or even researched how until now, but seems easy enough. I just wanted to ask if putting together the $700 build with gtx 1060 is similar to the way you put the build together in this video? I just want a good reference point to help me build it so i dont mess it up. Btw i cant address how thankful i am for your videos. If i didnt come across your video i would of ended up purchasing a $1500 laptop instead with slightly lower specs. Now I was able to buy a great 27inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, gaming headset and game chair along with the $700 build today and only hit $1240 with the gtx 1060 6gb version. You saved me a crazy amount of money, man!
+Zack "TriippyHD" yes it is extremely similar, this guide should be close enough for you to do the entire assembly from it
nice video.thank you. building my first pc next week. :)
Did you build this one?
the stock coolers are actaully quite impressive, If you arent planning on overclocking the stock cooler does a great job props to intel
YESSSSS IVE BEEENN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU!!!!
The cable management could be done better. The i5 6600K is better for this build and cheaper. Also I went with the RX 470 4G Strix 4Gb and the Zalman Z11 Plus case and ended up at $1100. But this is a great video and really taught me how to build my first pc (which will arrive in about 2 weeks in parts). And if i'm not too late, name the cat Strix. :)
great tutorial u are very clear and descriptive great job
+MrRyudragon thanks so much, sending a Hadoken your way, and lookout for my next build that I'm doing really soon :-)
I gonna switch to Skylake soon. Getting a pentium g4400. Dual core but a bad ass one. Plus I get that good upgrade path
why not get the i3 and not have to upgrade for quite a while?
Because for me to get an i3. I'd have to get a shitty motherboard. I'd rather get a really nice motherboard and still a good cpu for now.
Danny Daniel I'd rather get a "shit" motherboard. All they sacrifice is RAID, more than 2 case fans, overclocking ability, more than 4 sata ports, Crossfire/SLI and more than 16 GB ram.
They sacrifice no quality/speed/longevity
Do you need any of those things? if no get a cheap chipset and upgrade to the new socket in 3 years with a new motherboard. 1151 socket is relatively new but I highly doubt in 2-3 years you will want to keep using it
Fancy mobo are almost always a huge waste of money unless you overclock or have some sort of RAID setup or multiple GPUs
Bought an i3 for my sister and it's killing AAA games on high/ultra 60fps 1440(with 980) a pentium might bottleneck a card faster than a radeon 380
The G4400 performs equal to the i3 anyways no reason to spend an extra 50 when you can put htat into a Z170 SLI/XF RAID etc
at least his not that ass that buys an ASUS rampage motherboard with an I5
FINNELY FOUND A GOOD TURTOURIAL
Global shortage on thermal paste because you used it all up. ^_^
Hey man great build I am thinking to do that build I just have a 3 questions
1) will a 650 watts Full modular psu be good enough for this build?
2) will this build be able to run games at 4K video quality? ( I will be using the Nvidia GeForce gtx 1070 Gpu)
3) won't the build need a hard drive with the ssd
yes 650 watt PSU is more than adequate, for 4k I'd recommend the 1080 or greater as the 1070 is not quite there yet, in my recent testings with my 1070 clocked at 1949Mhz, 4k ultra settings: I'm getting averages of 33 fps in rise of the tomb raider, 44 fps shadow of mordor, 31 fps the division, 33 fps witcher 3 (hairworks on), arkham knight 41 fps, and just under 50 fps in doom (vulkan). So for less demanding games 4k is definitely great, but demanding triple A titles not quite there IMO. For the storage capacity it just depends on how much you like store at once, 960gb is enough for around 20 games with a little left over. You could also add an additional drive whether it be a hard drive or ssd when you get close to filling up the first one.
I just made a price calculation for a 1080 build with i7-6700k 16gb ram, 2TB hdd, no dvd/blu-ray drive. The build gets to 1785 euros .
I love this channel
this was a good video. cable management though!
Could explain a bit more which cable of the PSU to connect where (some are for SATA, other for PCIE). ^^ And warning people to be careful (even more) with the CPU and the back plate of the case, to not get injured when setting it coz it's sometimes sharp.
Good video still. :)
What 's the lowest price graphic card that you can recommend for this MOBO
Nice clear and concise build. You said "Plug your monitor in the back of the Motherboard to install windows 10"..is there any reason why you shouldn't plug it into your GPU?
xboxgamer no
xboxgamer if you don't have an hdmi input on your mobo than connect it to your card
very very informative, well done, thanks
Tip: Before placing the mobo on the box, lay the anti static bag on the box. And use less TIM.
great video should help me with my first build a lot! coincidentally i bought most of the same parts with the exception of the 6700k i got 6600k. can u do a part 2 on overclocking?
Psu mounted the wrong side :)
Having the fan down there is no place to take air from so the correct side is facing up.
Why not go with a liquid cooler, like an H-100i or H-60 due to space. That cpu cooler looks so bulky and looks like it would dump so much heat into case. How well did that cooler keep the cpu cool? did it limit your overclocking? And I take it that cooler you bought used? since I think I saw dust inside it?
That's a thumbs up from me ...was the kitten lol , We have 8 cat's :) but nice video hopefully get those console gamers to join the PC master race since let's face you can PC game from armchair these days :)
You got a freesync monitor with a nvidia gpu? You should've went with the rx 480. I don't think you thought that through.
yo im building with a i5 6400k and a msi 1060 6b, what average fps would i get, and is a 144hz monitor really needed? im mostly gonna play csgo, ovewatch, bf1 and cod. and im sticking with the stock cooler, i wont oc so should i get a stronger cooler
Great Video :D
Question, I'm going off your 1,500$ build with the GTX MSI 1080X, and I'm curious about the case the Noctis if it's compatible with and optical drive? Thanks!
unfortunately there's no 5.25" drive bay on the Noctis, I think they didn't want to take away from the aesthetics
+Awe of Tech damn thanks anyways, I'm building my new pc off of those specs and the usb Windows 10 is pretty expensive
Don't worry you can just get a cheap CD driver off Amazon or even craigslist and get the Disc. Plus you can use it later on for CD installations.
I have the corsair spec 03 :D Should of got the 03 instead of the 02.
Not sure if the 212 even would fit in the 02
I have the same motherboard and just finished building my pc but my issue is that I don't get any display image on my monitor from HDMI. I even removed my 1070 and plugged HDMI into motherboard but still not working.
what if i have a 3.5 hv output? i believe your install forgot the power switch and reset switch overlap through the v wiring system. After dealing with computers for 23 years I find it necessary to overlap them both otherwise you're talking major bucks later on during repairs. Also I noticed that you did not install the C system wiring along with the TDoc drive. I have so many questions and feel like you could have covered so much more. Don't forget that the Watt levels put out are very deceptive, next time be sure to conduct a 3p crv test in order to determine fluctuation channels.
Good video bro. Thanks! Name him Skylake?
hey cool vid; why i7 instead if i5 6600k and why so much ssd istead of 256G ssd en 1or 2 tera for less money? thanks
I'm using the i7 for video editing too, for just gaming the i5 would have made more sense $-to-performance.
this mobo is compatible with kaby lake processor? or better to buy a skylake without problems? is good a i3 skylake? other thing; a single stick of ram of gb like a corsair vengeance LPX 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHZ CL16 It is enough to powering of the mobo?
I am building my first PC, so go easy on me. Are all of the cases pretty much similar to each other in the sense that I could get a different kind than the one showed in your video? I know you need to consider size of course.
Also I didn't hear you mention GTX 1080, but I assume you can use one as well?
just curious with this build why you didn't put the little axtra out and liquid cool it ? makes a big difference for cooling if your gaming and with that graphics card im gonna say there will be some gaming
I dunno I had air coolers and closed loop liquid coolers, and the temps ain't all that much difference. That cooler will do the job for gaming, and it's cheaper..It's a great cooler for gaming if you're on a budget.
that's true going on a budget it will get the job done. I had a Big heat sink and fan and my computer was running avaerage temp of about 50C now with my liquid cooler its running avarage temp while gaming of about 35 to 37C I saw a difference within my own setup but either way its a great budget build
LegendaryGameChannel What cooler you got?
I believe its the corsair h100i liquid cooler
LegendaryGameChannel Good Temps I have the Corsair H80I GT..Under Load I get 45c
just got a new sub thanks
Cute kitten. Name him Gamer.
Didn't you check your lighting before you started recording? It's quite harsh.
Useful video, thanks! btw are you a karate guy?
thanks! a little wrestling back in school and brazilian jiu jitsu years ago, so out of shape now, building a PC is work out for me :-( lol
Damn bro. You listed everything except the monitor. Which one is it?
How long would you say that build took you to build?cause I’m new to pc building and was wondering how long this would take me to build based on the time it took you to build.
Thanks man!!!
Are there any other sites selling the CPU, the fan is currently unavailable :(
Here's a link for the cooler by itself amzn.to/2cBTPxr weird that the bundle isn't available right now, the total price should come out to around the same though
Awe of Tech Great, Thanks!
im going to build my first pc. do u recommend i5 6500 or 6600k
depends on what youre doing... i have a 6500 and its a beast
+Luca W gtx 1060
ok thx:)
if you want to OC then 6600k but if not then the 6500, 6500 is more price per performance
The cooler has dust already in it xD
U had this cooler a long time ago?
haha yes from the previous build forgot to remove all that dust before recording :-/
Very hard to do even with compressed air
+Awe of Tech Cooling a 300$ CPU with a Evo 212
Bofahad x The D92 is so fat
Cryorig is a good brand but seems more premium price (expensive)
He already had the hyper212 which is one of the best if not the best cooler for the price
Can we put the ram sticks the other way around showing the vengence logo?
Also why is the fan not facing the case fan?
Yeah a dusty cooler and extra cpu paste
still a Gr8 pc build
Does your front panel audio work? I plugged mine to the exact same place, doesn't work.
go ahead bro
does this come with a CD drive? cause i have no idea what an optical drive does and im just wanting to know if I have to buy one
where does the network adapter go on the motherboard if you have one?
if it's a PCI Express Network Adapter, then in one of the PCI slots below the graphics card
cable management at its best!
techsource would be proud :/
do the led lights turn off when the computer is in sleep mode? b/c i don't want to have these lds lighting up my room when im sleeping
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! ok so im doing everything step by strp byt for some readon my leds and my 3 fans inside the case arent working. it manages to turn on and run and everything just those things dont turn on. i did put everything correctly into the JFP1 section.
Hey man! What happened with your old parts??
Have you sold them already?
I have de 250 bucks that you want!
hey sorry man someone came and picked them up the other day :(
:/ ok thanks
Hey Awe, Can you review those Vengeance LED please? I am Wondering if I should get Trident Z or Those ram sticks...
lol i have basicly the same build but instead its water xooled so i can over clock it
Yo bro could you help me?
If yes that will be awesome!
So my problem is kinda weird cuz my pc is turning on then it turns off but this keeps happening like it turns on then off then on then off.
So does someone have any idea on how to fix this?
Thank you
You're one of those "Go Ahead" Americans ain't cha???
What should I do about the 8 pin connector into my motherboard, it's a gigabyte micro atx motherboard and where the 8 pin SHOULD is there is a 4 pin. Please I need help
question:what is best budget 1080 graphic card for the setup, and I want to put 160gb ssd for setup then I want to add 2 tb hard disk ,,,is it possible
Will this case fit a 120mm fan on the bottom, along with the psu?
there are some graphics card called Ti like geforce gtx 750 Ti...but i dont know what is Ti..is it titanium?
good video thx
Asus z170 pro gaming vs GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 which is better ????
my processor i5 6600k
Could this motherboard handle 2 x 8gb of ram? or is 16gb its limit?
sorry im a noob when it coms to pc builds but what does he mean by "download all the necessary drives" and where can i find them?
