 Getting closer to being done. One, we tested it, it turns on. Now, then we determine lighting. Gotta get this figured out. And then cable management on this side is coming along fine. So last time I even had a gaming rig, I had a tube monitor. And I think it might've been about 15 years ago. One of those big NEC multi-sync ones that were really popular if you could get your hands on one. Anyways, after building a lot of computers at the shop and we're just seeing so many people come in building some really high-end editing stations and a couple gaming rigs, and my kids being a little bit older, I said, okay, I'm gonna go ahead and build one for myself. And if you're gonna build one, I gotta build something pretty decent. So what I went with here was the Intel i5-6600K processor. It's the overclockable one. I just couldn't justify the i7. Did some performance reviews on the i5. It's really good. Now, I know a lot of people like myself are AMD fans. This is the first time I haven't bought an AMD. They still am rocking my eight-core AMD at my office computer. And it's really performing well with this Intel. AMD, I know the Zen's coming out pretty soon. Right now, it's December 2016. Zen is gonna be coming out in January, February, somewhere around there next year in 2017, but I just didn't wanna wait. So I went with the Corsair 600C Carbide ATX case. Now, this case is both quiet. It's kind of monolithic. It kind of fits into my decor. So to speak at my house. As you can notice with all the red around me, I'm at home right now. Yes, my living room's red. Maybe I'll post a photo or so. Anyways, if you're curious, you can find all this stuff on my Facebook. I'm pretty open about that. Anyways, so I also went with the GTX series. Now, I went right with the Asus Strix series card. Now, the Asus Strix really, really nice. I wanted something that was quiet. Now, a lot of what goes around this build to me is silence. It's the same thing I like at my shop. I can't record videos if I hear a lot of noise. I'm just kind of annoyed by hearing all the fan noise. Maybe it was cool when I was younger, as you hear all the fans roaring, you knew something was happening. Now that I'm older, I guess I just want to focus only on the games or whatever else I'm using it for, which might be some video editing too. So the GeForce GTX 1070 is a great card, the Strix version. Now, it does have the three fans on there. The fans are completely thermally controlled. Now, even playing Doom at Ultra mode, I am amazed at how the fans barely even spin. Matter of fact, between cut scenes, after you finish a level, they stop. It doesn't overheat at all. It doesn't get too hot. It's really, I don't keep it very warm in my house. I know that's a contributing factor, but I'm like, wow, this thing, you can't even really tell when it's on. My only regret, maybe we're not putting lights on tops because it's harder to see when the fans are spinning as I put the lights at the bottom of the case. Now this case is the style case that the motherboard mounts upside down in, which is why the radiator is at the bottom. The radiator went with the dual fan radiator, which is the H100IV2 by Corsair. Really happy with it. The processor, even with the most intense games, has not even gotten that radiator warm. Now, once again, it's at the bottom, so we have two fans at the bottom. Now, we could have put the fans on top of the radiator. We chose to put them on the bottom of the radiator. That way, if anything were to drop or I was to reach something in the case while that was on, I know it's a bad idea, but it would not end up causing a problem and something falling into the fans. Power supply, when with the Corsair? Mostly because it was on sale. I don't have any particular fondness of Corsair, but hey, it was on sale. It's their CMX series, CX50 650 watt. All's unrunning is the MSA2 drive, which is an Intel 512 MSA2 drive onboard tied to a gigabyte Z170 motherboard. Now, I didn't, I know there's better motherboards, so to speak. There's ones that are even higher end all for more of a clocking options. This, I just went with something simple and it gets the job done. I've got that paired with a pair of 16 gig ballistics DDR4 and the performance on this entire rig is really, really good. This system is completely silent. Even with the door open, the fans are so quiet, I'm sitting next to it. It just doesn't, it doesn't wear up, it's so quiet and that really, like I said, you know, maybe I'm old and older, but I really do like that a lot. So last piece is, what are you gonna view all this wonderful graphics on? So I went with the Asus VG8 27HV. It is a 144 refresh, 27 inch monitor. Now, one of the things I started learning a lot, it's been so long since I've looked at some of the monitors is not just the refresh rate, but of course they refer to it as the grade-to-gray time. This has a less than one millisecond response from the grade-to-gray time, which is how fast it can go between black to gray to white to back. Anyways, one of the things I learned is some of the monitors that claim a one millisecond response time actually have sub-processors that are slower within the monitor itself. That being said, you end up with a screen that is capable of that response time, but the processor behind the screen may not be. So I learned that there's a whole another level of it and of course you gotta try and work your way through all the marketing hype to try and find these things out. So a lot of research led me to this monitor. It has a very, very overall response time that still is the sub-one millisecond, one millisecond response time. Now at my office, I prefer the IPS displays because while I'm not gaming and not worried about any graphics tearing, I'm just editing videos and getting work done and doing a lot of support. So I do prefer an IPS display, but IPS displays with really, really fast response times are substantially more expensive than this monitor and not many of them. They're still, it's still harder to get the IPS, the in-plane switching monitors, which have the best pictures, in my opinion, but it's hard to get them at that refresh rate and speed because you'll just end up with some screen change. So that's my overall build for this. It's a pretty straightforward, like I said, I enjoy the fact that it's silent. Oh, and there's no speakers here because it's in my living room. And where it's at in living room is kind of out in the corner and I don't want to compete with the TV. The TV is actually, I'm pointing at it right now. And I kind of like high-end stereo stuff. So I've got a nice TA check so it's through in Vegas and a Pioneer Elite system. There's no competing with how loud the TV is. It's headphones only, not to mention I'm watching TV and my son's gonna be sitting here a lot playing it or my wife's watching TV and I'm playing it. Either way, we don't want any conflicts so I made sure I went with just headphones. Nothing high-end yet. I haven't really picked anything out for that. I just have the Logitech ones with the headset. They're basic, they're like the $35 ones. They work, they get the job done for now, but I am looking at it. I did choose an odd chair. I chose the IKEA. I think I want to call it a Nilsk. It's kind of a little thing. I'm gonna do a review on it after I sit in a while and wobbling at it right now. It's a chair with no back. It's kind of like a stool but it's got a wobble bottom on it and it keeps you sitting more upright and maybe will make me look less fat because it's supposed to work your core muscles better. I, so far, I like it. I really have a complaint but there's another chair sitting over here because the kids aren't super fond of it and neither is my wife but I'm still gonna keep trying it because I kind of like the way it forces me to have better posture and it lets me wiggle and that makes it kind of fun. I also haven't done anything other than grab a standard Dell keyboard that I happen to have and nothing special on the mouse either. Not really decided what I want to do there and those are, you know, I don't want a mechanical keyboard because I don't want to hear a bunch of clicking and but the Dell one's getting a job done. I don't know that I really need to upgrade. I think some people get real caught up in the moment for all those things and yeah, they don't really add a lot of value. So that's it for my build here and if people want to talk to me about building, I'm always interested to talk to them. We've done some custom ones for people. We don't mind, you know, helping make a few recommendations here and there or getting it assembled for you. Anyways, thank you for watching and if you like the content here, like and subscribe.
