[@NightLordddd]

I started watching you last week man i'm addicted to your videos!

[@rahulrbharadwaj123]

same, I really like his PC comparison videos, it helped he decide on my laptop ✌

[@Karn2506]

Same here Bro

[@ralphnzenkue7171]

yeah i have watched alot of youtube builds and this is actually the first that i have enjoyed. You guys kept it real the others are just putting hella expensive stuffs or if they say its a budjet build they gonna put chity stuffs Thumb UP guys

[@dallastate3601]

It's crazy how much this channel has grown. Anybody else been here since 10k subs?

[@Zestypanda]

Try 500 subs.

[@Zaegen]

Subscribed when he had 92 :D

[@rickiecheong2462]

came here when he was 15k

[@timodejong6849]

i know right i think it was around 7000 for me. and that is not even long ago. it grow's pretty fast

[@zhankhang418]

came here when he has 2k😂😂

[@cs188creations]

Wow, I have never been this early. This channel is my new addiction.

[@JacobHillSBD]

I didn't know you had a second channel?

[@cs188creations]

Well, now you know! :)

[@josephlauletta3419]

Would you say you've watched this channel's videos fifteen times all over again?

[@FSXgta]

Hi, cs here in the comments :D

[@NickG40]

So this is what you do when you're not doing your joj.

[@lullylew9083]

You're what Linustechtips used to be! And it's awesome. Nicely done.

[@ChangeMyBody94]

i cant understand half the things linustechtips even says half the time honestly. maybe its me but even for someone like me who has i would medium computer knowledge i cant keep up with him at all as much as i try

[@cristianconstantin6496]

good thing he doesn't have that pubescent voice of linus

[@Warbaby_]

Building my first PC today, thanks for teaching me how to do it through your videos :)

[@thomasxzs]

good luck bro

[@josephb.2722]

Good luck and i hope you dont get any broken parts! theyre a pain to diagnose and if you have to ship them back... Good luck anyways :)

[@AXLplosion]

I'm building my second pc today, but I consider it my first because the one I built before was an absolute mess and didn't even have a seperate graphics card XD

[@AXLplosion]

Also I didn't build it just by myself, I did it with my brother and my cousin.

[@Bob-np9no]

Gl m8 have fun!

[@michaelamireh2800]

I went to pc part picker a week ago and picked 6/7 of these parts. Now I am watching this video and feel comfortable with my choices. Thank You!

[@Lightking813]

I swear ur outtro is so good i mean the whole video was good but just hearing the "if you feel the complete opposite and hate everything about life" gets me every time

[@GregSalazar]

Hahahah

[@DarkAgeDan]

This is an excellent build. I have a question though. Do you know about any other good cases that a little bigger than this one?

[@Lightking813]

i think i saw Jayztwocents do one that was a m-itx but it was still a decent sized chasis

[@kunstderfugue]

Another HTPC case that I like is the Silverstone RVZ02, and then there's the big ass ITX cases that I feel defeat the purpose of SFF

[@DarkAgeDan]

***** Okay thank's.

[@Rkiver]

I get asked quite often by friends and family regarding building PC gaming rigs. I had specced up something quite similar to this recently, but this is a perfect video to show them how easy it can be to build one also. Nicely done.

[@biggiefrog6725]

Hey Greg, congrats on 100K! Also nice build

[@JustinMakesVideos]

The more I study the current generation of parts the more I come to appreciate what other people have selected for the same case. This is a pretty smart selection of parts balancing price and performance.

[@keganotoole6805]

can you start putting pc part picker links in your videos Please!

[@reedcrosby6406]

Yes! Agreed!

[@yifanchen5262]

thederpyderpman857 pcpartpicker.com/list/jz7jnn

[@keganotoole6805]

Yifan Chen Thanks man!!! @SalazarStudio you should add this link to your description ;) ;)

[@yifanchen5262]

Kegan Skittles today is my birthday, and they gave like 300$ but later on im saving some more..

[@keganotoole6805]

Yifan Chen well happy birthday and thanks for the PCPartPicker link it helped me so much!

[@csjdruid434]

Literally the best pc building guide, you mentioned all the mistakes and how to correct them that I did on my last pc and also you're doing it in a small form factor pc which is cool.

[@jabaltob9al271]

When you are watching tons of quality gaming pc builds butt you can't afford one... sad

[@liesandy291]

800$ is affordable. though.... even when i'm living in developing country.....

[@thetrueinferno7993]

Used parts m8, save up over a few weeks then BAM! Build a used part pc.

[@lleeexx]

i have a 2000 euros gtx 1080 build..and im poor as fuck :D just save money and you're good

[@jabaltob9al271]

yeah butt my budget is like 600 or 700 euros max... but why not , will try to search more

[@thepope2412]

Work hard play hard

[@tonio14]

hey, just started watching your videos three days ago since i started upgrading bits and pieces of my computer ( out of necessity) and i just wanted to say you are amazing. a video like this is really pushing me towards building my own computer soon and this specifct build looks perfect for me. after only a week of looking up things on my own i pretty much understood everything you explained in the video and you left just enough out where i could learn some things on my own while building it. keep up the great work. Thanks again.

[@stickybuds05]

Very detailed assembly, good for beginners! Nice to see how everything fits in such a slim space. Btw, is it a bad idea to put your PC/Console on a subwoofer? Vibrations, magnets etc? Even without a mechanical HDD? (just curious, unless it was just for demo and install, if so then nvm)

[@GregSalazar]

That isn't its permanent resting place.

[@stickybuds05]

Salazar Studio ah ok, thanks for the reassurance n quick reply. Enjoying these itx builds! I just did an $800 hackintosh for my wife but was a bigger case

[@NoahBB]

I just love the BCLK OC method getting more attention, saved me a good chunk of money, I hope it helps out others.

[@jandro5493]

Pro tip, connect front io cables before other cables since they're the most tedious so the more open space the better. Also don't place pc on top of a speaker, which kind of looks like what happened at the end, though I could be wrong from the video you still don't want to do that.

[@GregSalazar]

Yep, had to unplug the 24 pin to properly secure the small leads. I placed the PC on top of the speaker for comparison's sake. Not the permanent resting place.

[@jandro5493]

Fair enough. Btw, keep up the great content. You're moving up the ranks at a good pace.

[@Charsept]

This is actually just a good guide for anyone building a PC. All the info is useful, even for people that have only build a couple systems.

[@GregSalazar]

Yep, but I have other "How to Build" videos dedicated to ATX builds.

[@francisfeng8808]

I feel like overclocking an i5 6400 non-k is not worth it. I *think* you would have to downgrade your bios and turbo boost will be disable. Additionally, the extra power from overclocking doesn't make much of a difference in gaming in terms of fps. Not to mention the risk that is involved, the more expensive z170 motherboard, a aftermarket cooler(although some people still buy an aftermarket even if it's a non-k), and you would also have to mess around with you dram. *What do you think Greg?* =)

[@GregSalazar]

I've done it several times. Either stay at 3.2GHz or overclock to 4.4GHz and lose something you'd likely never use anyway (your iGPU).

[@adimNZ]

can you make a video on how to overclock a non-k cpu using this method?

[@francisfeng8808]

I actually have a i5 6600 non-k( got it on sale) and a z170 motherboard, I was planning to overclock it too. Can you tell me if the extra processing power really makes a difference? I've been getting a mixed opinion on the fourms. Thanks!

[@xMuNcHz]

MSI USA brought me here :) You are finally getting the recreation that you deserve!!

[@fatoeki]

Did you pay for it yourself? Top quality video again

[@zahidshabir4038]

actually Greg was the camera man for the most part the friend was doing most of the building and the talking was a voice over

[@rexarat6003]

i found this channel about 1 and half yr ago and i love this channel,seriously this guy needs more subs. i think some of his viewers just watch some of his videos but not subscribing but hey it's their loss. i hope there's a updated video on this build with cryorig cooler for benchmark and temperatures

[@DanishNighthawk]

You forgot to screw in the PCIE extender before you installed the CPU cooler -.-

[@GregSalazar]

Already addressed this.

[@Psilocyn]

Your channel is really growing fast, man. It's cool because I was one of the people that watched a bit from when it wasn't big at all. Nice to see you grow, really.

[@EonTheReal]

I disagree on some picks. I would prefer an I5 6500 which in my opinion is the sweet spot for gaming (clockwise), and pick a less expensive mobo. Z170 chipset in ITX form factor is a bit overkill and pointless if you consider you won't overclock and you won't use more than two ram modules also sli/crossfire isn't possible in this form factor. If you just need the raid option you can easily go for an h170 chipset and if you want to keep things simpler you can just get an h110 and save a considerable amount of money for a better vga. Also RX 480 or 470 makes more sense to me but this may be just personal preference.

[@GregSalazar]

We are overclocking using BCLK method. Your first point is moot.

[@EonTheReal]

Yeah I missed the part you said that at the start, on this case I would also pick the 6400 just to save money. But if anyone wouldn't overclock the 6500 with a cheaper chipset would be a more valid choice.

[@EonTheReal]

Some people actually use the comments for discussion and not to farm likes. Try it sometime!

[@mojo1829]

THANK YOU. Great 800$ build, best price to performance for brand new parts

[@thePandapranav]

hey Science Studio, do you have a way to bypass the bclk Oc blocker microcode from Windows. Because nowadays undoing a Bios update isn't sufficient

[@GregSalazar]

Downgrading a BIOS takes literally two minutes and harms nothing. In fact, most motherboards are running the stock, oldest BIOS available.

[@thePandapranav]

yeah, but now windows will give a boot error if you try to bclk

[@justinrangel6079]

+Pranav Veerubhotla then you did something wrong :(

[@Beeeyeee]

Yeah when the Bios is updated, the CPU's own microcode is then updated to disable the baseclock OC. as far as i'm aware theres absolutely no undoing this, and even if you can its dangerous biz messing with something like that. haha:)

[@Zestypanda]

You can't downgrade bios on most boards...

[@carljenkins7354]

SS is rapidly becoming my favorite tech channel. I watch every single one as soon as I see it posted. Looks like 100k other people agree, since this channel is EXPLODING!

[@GregSalazar]

I appreciate your irreplaceable support!

[@thedelgadic1]

You dident screw in the pcie riser card.

[@GregSalazar]

Oh well.

[@bowen...]

rip

[@marcobalarezo4198]

12 thousand subs in just a few days... congratulations!!

[@denhamvaras-curl9881]

I would have gone with the Silverstone raven case.

[@dacaveman4372]

and that's the beauty of custom pcs.

[@suisiders7181]

I prefer the Phanteks Evolv ITX but it isn't nearly as portable and space efficient lol

[@james-ch]

i agree, this one does not have dvd drive bay

[@93SupaFly]

Im waiting for the RVZO1-E, the one that able to use atx psu version :)

[@ssaini5028]

nice man, I want that RVZ02 just because its smaller

[@SUPERTEROO]

I'm really impressed with the growth of your channel. I'm sure the quality & frequency of videos is a big reason, but could you possibly make video listing what things you have done to be such a rapidly growing channel?

[@TheInsid3]

node 202 is actually quite a bit bigger than x-box one

[@ashupashu5559]

Considering the power it has compared to the Xbox one it's still compact and more powerful

[@TheInsid3]

sure it's compact but you would definitely not be able to put that much power into enclosure as small as x-box. I never claimed this system was not compact.

[@sgtwiggles292]

xbox one dimensions r (L×W×H) 33.3cm × 27.4cm × 7.9cm and the fractal node 202 dimensions are (L×W×H) 33cm × 37.7cm × 8.2cm. so the fractal node is 10cm bigger in width

[@TheInsid3]

jynxed 10 cm is hell of a lot when you already have so little space

[@sgtwiggles292]

Erytropus​ little space for?

[@EverythingisFire]

I'm planning on stuffing that exact Gigabyte motherboard into a Define-Nano S soon so it's great to see how you've installed everything in it .

[@Apexer657]

*looked at intel stock cooler* WHAT ARE THOSEEEEEEEEEEEE!?

[@GregSalazar]

LOL

[@ssaini5028]

Its good for these types of builds as it cools VRMs and stuff

[@Apexer657]

yup..but when the cpu heat up..it will transfer the heat to all component at the mobo.. good stuff. better get some low profile cryorig or something that are less fan noise and better air flow..

[@Mrgoalable]

You deserve so many more subscribers! Your videos are excellent and informative. It really shows how much effort you put into them! Keep em coming dude.

[@craigbossard8351]

Love the build... however, this is well over $800...

[@craigbossard8351]

Your parts list adds up to $997.98

[@GregSalazar]

Prices are always changing. Was right at $800 when purchased.

[@Insidasigma]

Did you purchase the components from a Micro Center?

[@brotherhao1510]

The price probably has not changed and instead you just live in australia. :(

[@Pwnzistor]

What retailer were you checking? I got the same thing for around $750

[@Brian_Buckley]

I have found after many a PC build and cramped fingers,that if you fit the front panel wires before even mounting the board in the chassis, it makes the build that much easier. you can also sometimes route that FP cable UNDER the motherboard for a cleaner install.

[@ssaini5028]

Why does the USB 3.0 header cable have to be so fucking thick...come on manufacturers !!

[@jayruka2508]

Fucking this! It is the worst cable by far.

[@lozodidit]

lets see you try sticking 19 wires together any smaller

[@XxViciousxX]

S Saini Yeah my USB 3.0 header cable is right next to my 24pin and messed up the look of the custom 24pin cables. So I'm hopeful that case manufacturers at least make them flat or something soon.

[@thatsux0rz]

Your videos make me want to go to Microcenter. It is about 1 1/2 hours away because all other PC component stores nearby closed. Love the videos!

[@jominator3187]

There's nothing wrong with a stock cooler on that cpu man. I'd stock cool that...

[@GregSalazar]

Will be overclocking. Not ideal.

[@jominator3187]

+Science Studio ohhh yeah I forgot you mentioned previously you'd be doing the oc on the bclk...

[@Gansekommando]

When I started out I had an i5 4670K at 4.2 GHz on the stock cooler, it'll do if you don't mind seeing 70+ C.

[@batmangovno]

What would you put in a case that small?

[@volodymyrsaruta4385]

Hey! I also collect nearly the same build for myself...wasn't sure about case! Thank you so much for video! I will take this one case! But I plan to overclock the processor...can you propose more powerful cooler please? Any? I planed to buy this one > www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4OBH92/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER But it won't fit...right?

[@Trifler500]

Nice build. Only thing I would add is that it's a good idea to turn it on and visually confirm that all of the fans are running and unobstructed before closing up the case.

[@ferryansony2161]

WTF?? Last time i look at your subscribers, it was 80k. how da hell are you getting subscribers so fast? -_-

[@ferryansony2161]

btw, why did you keep all those PC? (the tempered glass case that you recently build and this one) i thought it was for your friends.

[@trotman000]

They are.

[@crymp2057]

Subscriber counts tend to increase exponentially rather than linearly

[@royvines7240]

I'd love to see you guys push the boundaries and liquid cool a more beast mode one of these!!!

[@aarondrew4076]

first?

[@999Kristofer]

Looks like it.

[@reezvi394]

For any casual gamer, this is a great gaming setup without the fuss of a massive tower! Loved it.

[@NickG40]

I very much liked downsizing from a mid-tower to an mATX cube.

[@DoomWalker42]

Great video! Nice to see someone explain all the steps one-by-one. I knew all the basic stuff cause I built 2 PC's before (one is Mini-ITX) but small form factor rigs can be tricky to build in and watching someone else do it is a huge help. Awesome stuff!! :)

[@mrgelvis]

I really enjoyed watching your hand and finger(s) tapping or patting the components. Reminded me of the Asian kid from UP when he points out the missing patch.

[@BrowsInGamesGO]

Aw man, i miss so much build a new PC! Great work Greg and other guy! Great vídeo!

[@Guzzu]

I just started watching your channel and dude, your videos are addictive. Keep it up!

[@Djnoshomeprod]

Great ! Built mine a few weeks ago with Node 202 , MSI B250I GAMING PRO AC , Intel Kaby Lake Core i5-7400 - 3.0GHz , BALLISTIX PC Sport LT - DDR4 - 8GB - 2400 MHz , Samsung 250Go SSD 2.5 850 EVO , Enermax REVOLUTION SFX - 550W - 80PLUS GOLD , GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti OC 4Go GDDR5 , Noctua NH-L9i Ventirad HTPC and Rapoo Mouse + keyboard 9060...works just fine and it's very quiet...

[@nito_gocni5460]

great video as always, however it would have been nice to include some final thoughts on the build, particularly the case, what were the temps for example and ways you could improve them if needed.

[@ralphnzenkue7171]

yeah i have watched alot of youtube builds and this is actually the first that i have enjoyed. You guys kept it real the others are just putting hella expensive stuffs or if they say its a budjet build they gonna put chity stuffs Thumb UP guys

[@outtheredude]

Nice looking system. I'm thinking of building something very similar for a colleague at work within the next few months when he's raised the cash for it. Your video really helped. With what to look for with the PC alone within a similar budget of £800 (after VAT, and other price hiking blaugh in the UK).

[@perezident14]

Your videos are always well thought out and well done.

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks for watching, Harambe.

[@lovelyxyz]

Thanks for using the song again.. It's beautiful.

[@Goriaas]

yay! I was just about to order a fractal node. Thanks for the video it def. helped me out. Very smart to go for blower style GPU

[@mactube37]

I love the node 202 case. I planned a build around that as well.

[@the8bitcoffee]

i keep come back to this one ! love the compact ! but im live where all those things not available in my country @@

[@IShouldBeStudingNow]

building in the node 202 is such a pain in the ass, but it is so worth it. Such a nice small form factor case

[@GregSalazar]

I agree.

[@syncrow587]

Man, I love mitx builds. I will do one soon.

[@J_Lav92]

Glad to see someone representing the hometown Lafayette!

[@Simon74]

Keep using the background music, it's awesome! ;)

[@NorroTaku]

Seeing 2 people and two hands assemble a PC reminds me of a two core CPU equipped with hyperthreading :D Jesus, I am such a nerd enjoying the sight of that xDD Great video, seeing you guys having fun makes me happy ^o^

[@Dariel19ft]

Great video. I've some old parts from my preview setup and I've been thinking in doing something like this. Btw, I'd say a modular power supply would've been better in order to avoid all cables resting arround the motherboard. It makes the airflow more fluent as you already know.

[@KunaiKrazy]

I like that console looking case. Very neat. I wonder if a hole was cut out and a filter applied, I'd be able to use a non reference card in there.

[@cardiscc]

Dude been watching your videos all day, really impressed by the quality. keep up the good work

[@GregSalazar]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kibb3x]

Would be nice to see some benchmarks and temps, probably going to build a ITX PC this winter, and btw nice vid :D

[@noko59]

Hey you guys forgot the 3 screws for the riser card from the pcie slot. This will support the video card and put less stress on the motherboard. No data on the results? I was thinking of getting the same 1060 for my build. I used a spare I5 6500 which runs at 3.2ghz and Turbo at 3.6 - I would recommend the small price difference with this but significantly better performance. Good video

[@Gilbertify1]

Neat, was thinking about using this exact case with a Gigabyte 1060 (3GB.)

[@theholypopechodeii4367]

I like how you too kept looking at the camera kinda funny throughout this video lol.

[@Silveraga]

Just bought the NZXT Manta a few weeks ago and I can tell you, it's really good for a ITX Case. Well slightly bigger than normal itx but at least you don't have any compromises with that case. Would be a good thing to make a review of that and show it to the world :P

[@matthewsunga4698]

Could you run a benchmarks test on this awesome pc build of yours?

[@Pwnzistor]

YOOOO!!! You said nothing about grounding yourself out before starting! Better safe than sorry! Also, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that hates messing with those cable leads.

[@Aurummorituri]

Thanks Greg! I was planning on building an HTPC for a Hackintosh for Home Theater to run our movies, music, and Netflix through. Oh, and play some GAMES!!! Now I have a guide to show my dad so he is not so squeamish.

[@anthony5905]

This video was awesome you should make more videos like this I wanna build a pc still a little nervous to build one

[@lukashampel9846]

nice build...but I have 2 things to say.... 1st. there are 3 crewholes in the PCIe risercard that are there to screwit in 2nd there is a little thing over the graphicscard that is there to put it under the card to protrect is from bending inside the case

[@fifteentwelve]

I built a PC in July using this Fractal Design Node 202. I won't recommend anyone, expert and amateur alike, to build in this case. It's a difficult case to disassemble and is still too large and heavy to be considered portable. Better choice would have been the Fractal Design Core 500, Sharkoon QB One, or (if your graphics card is less than 280 mm/ 10.5 inches long) the Silverstone Sugo SG13BQ. I used the SG13BQ for an MSI GTX 970 (279 mm long) and just barely fit with some squeezing. Card works perfectly and I'm typing this on the PC that used to be in the Node 202. It's only 2.43 kg compared to the Node 202's 3.5 kg. It's a lot easier to fit the Sugo in a carry-on luggage bag than the Node as well, due to it's shorter dimensions.

[@MonsteTune]

Great name choice Salazar! I was looking for you for a moment as I could not remember the Sci Fi -ish name!

[@Mei-rf2dz]

Gorgeous case, I've been shilling it on youtube for a long time.

[@josephsanchez08]

just noticed youve grown like 30k growers over night. good job man

[@user-nk7yn]

I was there when you had 9K subs, good to see that you have now over 110K subs now! :)

[@bach5369]

god i remembered 6-7 months ago, you had like 300 sub, look at you now, congratulation :o

[@BrotherO4]

i love itx builds, my own has a 1070, 4790k, and 16 gb of ram in the RV01 the only thing is the removal of SLI or other feature which i want on my next build unless there is a small case that can fit m.ss or duel card.

[@juansantiago164]

I was going to ask you to build in the node 202 but then you dropped this video

[@josepablo7689]

Nice video Been watching for a while and your doing an awesome job promise :) keep it up !!

[@DiamondPugs]

You could've saved a buck here and there, but in general it is a nice build. It's always nice to see someone making ITX builds for the living room. Also, that case looks really cool. I wouldn't a PC these days, though. GPU prices are way too inflated and Zen is just around the corner.

[@DubbleSixx]

I really enjoyed this video. I think I'm going to have TO build an HTC.

[@gabrielatienza7438]

your channel is growing pretty fast, I subbed at around 60k-ish

[@harveysarmiento2319]

lookin forward to making exact same build

[@carlmueller7973]

Hey Greg, great video! Love the channel! I'm sure you've got a list of things you're planning to do videos on but I'd love to see one benchmarking games with different speeds of DDR4 (2133 up to 4000+). Saw a top post on the PCMR subreddit that made me question the old adage that faster RAM doesn't do much for in-game performance. (Also in my own tests I got a ~12% bump in average FPS going from 2133 to 3000Mhz DDR4 in Overwatch on a 980). Keep up the great work!

[@TechRud]

Nice video. Love small builds like this for an HTPC, but what about a space-saving build that doesn't "blend in" like this one does in the black and boring Node 202? What about a space saving build that you can show off, like a wall-mounted rig with water cooling and all? Have you considered building one of those?

[@GregSalazar]

Nothing worth purchasing like what you're describing that isn't over $200.

[@NateTheGreat101-c7l]

If you reply, is this PC still a choice to use compare to 2017? My budget is around 900-1000 (buying a gaming laptop next) this is so far the best PC build guide I've seen here on KZbin.

[@Clairvoyant81]

Nice build! I wonder: These newer ITX cases with support for full-size graphics cards often feature a completely separate compartment for the graphics card. One benefit often cited for blower-style coolers is that the ambient temperature inside the case stays lower. Makes sense, but: Does this really matter with a case design like this where the GPU is pretty much completely separated from the rest of the system? Since "open" coolers are often said to be more efficient and quiet it would be interesting to see how these two cooler styles actually fare in a case like this.

[@AntonioRodrigues-cx6gi]

Really been enjoying your videos. keep up the good work. Also I'm looking forward to your 1050ti review if possible.

[@dimitriid]

I think you missed a couple of screws on the PCIE bridge it can be screwed into the side of the case so it's a little more stable overall.
