🌸 building my first gaming pc and it's super pretty // yeston 3070, i7-12700k, nzxt h9 elite

[@bykappe]

you can check the full price breakdown and part list here! pcpartpicker.com/b/3z4dnQ a couple notes i want to add: - i was going for a 12600k but 12700k was heavily discounted at that time, so i went with that (i'm content with intel, but don't mind changing to amd because of the current 13/14th gen problems) - for future upgrades, i most likely see myself only upgrading the gpu, so i didn't mind paying the 'aesthetic fee' for the yeston 3070 now and saving up later for a 40/50 series - i noticed last second that the glass panel on top of the h9 elite wasn't ideal for air flow but temps don't seem to be bad (nzxt sells a h9 flow top panel, so i might buy that whenever) thank you all for watching :DD

[@claireagriffith8213]

i just finished totally replicating your build (just with a different gpu) and oh my god that was too much fun. my first build and i’m so happy with it! thank you so much for your awesome video/build :)

[@bykappe]

omg that's so cool !!! :0 i'm glad you got to be able to build your pc!!!

[@nayshine7875]

Might use this build as my sisters bday gift honestly she’s wanted a pc for a while but I built mine with specs in mind not appearance so she told me specifically that if I do get her one it “can’t be ugly like yours at least make it cohesively pretty”

[@itsgalacticc]

she has to earn that shit like I earned my birthday presents

[@IzzPlayzGames]

She sounds a bit spoilt and ungrateful

LMAOOO i was anything but chill in that moment xD tyvm tho!

[@NotInformedOfficial]

we have the same case. did u bother to change the rear fan with RBG ones later on? i noticed the one provided with the case doesn't light up

[@bykappe]

i think it's purposely non-rgb because it's in the back of the case, but i personally haven't changed it out yet

[@NotInformedOfficial]

@@bykappethank you for answering. Lastly, is the orientation of the side and bottom fans normal or reversed? Im confused cause i saw another build and the fans in the side and bottom were specifically labeled reverse in her specs list.

[@bykappe]

sorry for the late reply! my bottom and side fans are normal and are set to intake- reverse fans are only meant to show off the aesthetic side of the fan, but still serve the same purpose as intake if that makes sense :)

[@gloryvampire3343]

​@@bykappe i have a question, its been over a month now have you changed the rear fan yet or did you decide to let it be? . my second question is does the glas on top of the case make any problems for the cooling of the aio radiator?

[@bykappe]

@@gloryvampire3343 i've actually been wanting to switch the fan out for a while now, but i've just been too lazy to open up my case and do so. however, i've been thinking of getting another ssd for more storage soon, so i might also change out the fan whenever i do that. and as for the aio, i personally haven't had any problems with temps yet :)

[@thanosinfinity4904]

Is that a glass panel at the top of the case over the aio radiator exhaust or am i trippin

[@bykappe]

it is lol- but it's not directly hitting against the glass, there's a small gap that lets the air accumulate and exhaust off to the side so my pc doesn't explode on me 💀

[@thanosinfinity4904]

@@bykappe yeah ig that works but it doesn't really sound very optimal for airflow, anyways , it's a very beautiful 1st build nonetheless congrats.

[@AdilAzeez2314]

Did u add thermal paste for the cpu and the aio cooloer ?

[@bykappe]

the aio cooler comes with thermal paste pre-applied, but i did end up having to do it again

[@nivea878]

wow 🥳

[@elisarrwzz]

Hii how much did the build cost overall? It looks stunninggg

[@bykappe]

hello! tysm :D in total i spent $1,817.61 USD

[@nabichilling]

omg I want your PC case 😍💓

[@ousyris]

QUESTION!!!! I wanna buy this case BUTTTTT is the NZXT USB Hub a necessary purchase in order to use this case?

[@bykappe]

not really, but the case doesn't really have to do with the usb hub, it's more so what type of motherboard you have. most likely case scenario if you're looking to build with similar parts like mine, you'll most likely need it c:

[@valentinaJP]

How did you know how to do all the cables? ❤

[@bykappe]

i watched a lot of tutorials ahead of time and was following a guide while building :)

[@rsmarimo148]

omg love this build sooo much btw, where did you get the desk mat? been searching for one like that for a while but can´t find it :(

[@ruxciin]

I heard the i7 burned out some people’s pc, I am planning on buying a i9 and am wondering if it is safe now or better to op to a different company?

[@bykappe]

i personally haven't had any problems with my i7, but if you're looking for the better option, amd would be best. it's better for gaming and has a better upgrade path as well :)

[@Mimikyu560]

I want a yeston gpu..did u get yours from Amazon?

[@bykappe]

i got mine from a seller on ebay. amazon does have yeston sakura gpus but they only had 40 series, which was too expensive for me :c

[@thatotterguy3062]

@@bykappe i was gonna say the 4070 is around the same price as the 3070 weirdly enough but overall nice build!

[@thatotterguy3062]

@@bykappe but man you did get a nice lookin card

[@gloryvampire3343]

does the vertical mount have any downsides regarding temperatures/performance?

[@bykappe]

i haven't had any problems performance-wise. as for temps, i usually sit in the 50's (celcius) and 40-65 when gaming and with the fans activated, so mounting it doesn't seem like anything major :)

[@gloryvampire3343]

@bykappe is it bad if i use the lga 1700 motherboards/ sockets because it has no upgrade path?

[@bykappe]

short answer, yes- if you’re really looking into upgrading in the future, amd would be the way to go. but in most cases, your cpu should last you a great amount of years unless you specifically want an upgrade for a reason

[@sarahgarlinghouse4429]

I like it very pretty

true, but i just went with whatever was cheaper at the time. now i plan on buying the top panel replacement whenever nzxt stocks it again

[@bykappe]

@@JordanSketchesArt hello! i think youtube automatically deletes comments with links in them so that's why unfortunately :c and don't worry about bios, that's a completely separate thing from windows. what pc parts do you have that you're curious about? i'm no expert, but i can try to see if i can help c:

[@JordanSketchesArt]

​@@bykappe Yeah, I was going to use part picker like you did, but since I can't ill listenn't them here, Intel Core i5-13600K for CPU, then ASRock Z690 PG Velocita ATX LGA1700 Motherboard, Acer Nitro OC Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB Video Card which is gpu im assuming then Montech AIR 903 MAX ATX Mid-Tower Case, Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 TT Premium 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply, and Klevv CRAS C910 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive, Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory finally Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 66.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

[@bykappe]

@@JordanSketchesArt those parts seem pretty solid! you're honestly good to go, but if you want my two cents: you can try 850W instead of 750W for peace of mind and in case you ever want to upgrade your gpu in the future. you can also try getting 6400 for your memory since that seems to be the limit for your mobo. honestly tho, most ppl (including me) probably wouldn't even notice the difference between the two (i wouldn't really do this one unless you're fine spending a bit more) and lastly, intel cpu is great but if you want that upgradability path, amd would be the way to go- just up to your preference at the end of the day :)

[@eggosi4320]
