I Built My Second PC After 10 years

This is the second PC I've built... 10 years after my first one. I loved building my first PC and now I was lucky enough to be able to build a second one and I wanted to share the process of me building it. Enjoy!

I love the approach of this video, no music, no fancy editing, just a man building a pc

[@ianperezbaez]

Thank you! Your words mean a lot! I do hope to keep improving my editing!

[@Monty___________]

@@ianperezbaezgreat video! Do you know approximately what price it was

[@ianperezbaez]

Approximately $3855

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@ianperezbaezA 1300w PSU is extreme overkill for a 4080 and Ryzen 9 7950x combo. 1000watts is enough for a 4090 and i9 14900k for example. Why did you buy a Gen 3 nvme Samsung 970 Evo SSD? I would have recommended a 2TB Samsung NVMe Gen 4 SSD. The Samsung 980 pro is known to have software issues. Also why did you go for 5600mhz Corsair dominator ram? 6400mhz is the best speed for Zen 4. Aesthetically the PC looks awesome though. You could have saved money and had faster ram and SSD storage.

It's so beautiful !!! I didn't expect it to be so loud, but that's not always bad. Great job!

Thank you! Yes it’s very loud before adjusting the fan curves in NZXT Cam lol

[@TubysWorld]

My H9 Elite has finally arrived! I'm super excited because I'll be putting together my very first PC once the rest of the components arrive later this month. The anticipation is real! By the way, I love your build - it's awesome! 😊

[@ianperezbaez]

That's awesome! Building a PC has such a good feeling that words can't describe! I hope everything goes well and if you have any questions feel free to reach out! And thank you for your compliment!

[@TubysWorld]

@@ianperezbaez I have a question actually , there's glass at the top of the case , do you keep it removed f you wanna have a 360 AIO in there?

[@ianperezbaez]

@TubysWorld I wouldn’t keep it removed as dust and other particles would get in through the top, dust can really mess up with your PC, the NZXT H9 Elite should have a removable plate under the top glass for easy AIO installment! The down side to the H9 Elite is that it has a smaller exhaust grill at the top compared to the H9 Flow.

The kraken 360 rgb, I believe it came out before the elite did!

[@Klutch_it]

Love this build! Little constructive critism, cut this video in half or more, add non-copyright music and add some transitions. All can be done for free and this vid would get you 100k views 👌lastly, make sure you buy ALL the same fans so the RGB is on point. For a first build, this is super awesome brother!

[@ianperezbaez]

Thank you! This is just what I was looking for! I did want to cut the video even more but didn’t know what else to cut, got any suggestions? As for music I’ve gotten a comment saying that they liked the video without music but maybe adding one at a very low volume might help? And yes I know about the fans I wish I could of found F120 Duos for the front intake and back fan but they were sold out everywhere at the time of the build, hopefully they come back in stock because they’re my favorite so far! Thank you for your constructive criticism it definitely helps a lot!!

[@RT-qz5ci]

This comment is wrong. Im here bc there is no stupid music. Just something really cool i can put on in the background when working or whatever.

[@haroldareyou]

This build is really nice and clean! Kudos! Question: H9 Flow doesn't have a fan hub right? Do you plugged in the fans directly into the motherboard and use CAM to control your fan curves? Thanks!

[@ianperezbaez]

No they’re plugged into a NZXT fan and light controller that you can control through CAM!

[@minhhoang6716]

Hi, lovely build you got there. I'm about to build one for myself too and I really like NZXT Cooler for its aesthetic, but I heard so much bad reputation for their CAM software. Have you encountered any problem regarding the software since you built yours?

[@ianperezbaez]

At least for my experience it has been great! No major problems that I can think of! Although I just use it for lights and fan curves any other features that CAM brings I don’t really use.

[@dannyipwn1203]

Cool video. Cool case. I see some visual mistakes but all in all very good quality build. you need 5 more of those cool fans that are lit up. the graphics card needs some fan tuning so when you start up its not chooching full blast. im in the middle of doing an all white triple rad lian li 011 XL. 3080 TI / 12900k (first intel/nvidia setup ive ever built) its cool to see what others do and where others thought process is on builds. currently i need fittings, tubing, and coolant. but im waiting on a couple parts so i can pre-fit some stuff can buy the correct fittings. cool video !

[@ianperezbaez]

Thank you so much! I’m waiting for the fans to come back in stock and I’ll see what I can do about the start up going full blast! Your build sounds like it’s going to be amazing! I was really torn between the Lian li and the H9 until I settled with the H9! I hope your build goes great and if you can when you’re done share it!

[@YakiofficialO_O]

I never understood where the power supply is located in such cases... I don't understand it now either. Explain, please

This type of cases are called dual chambers, the PSU is located in a separate chamber behind the motherboard!

I am planning to get h9 elites you know the top is glass , i want to mount my cpu radiator at the side and top will display case fans . Will it have any thermal issue as most people mount radiator on top

[@ianperezbaez]

There won’t be an issue from the radiator being on the side! Although the h9 elite does have smaller airflow at the top than the h9 flow

@@ianperezbaezwhile doing the normal horizontal mount of the gpu will it touch the glass is there enough clearance

[@nouryyard]

are the 2 fans on the bottem reversed? normally it's intake not exhaust from the bottem

[@nouryyard]

Aigo L12 with infinity design have both normal and reversed fans

[@ianperezbaez]

Thank you for your comment! Yes they are set to intake, the NZXT F140 RGB Duo fans have LEDs on both the front and the back sides so you can set them as intake or exhaust and still illuminate the inside of the PC!

@@ianperezbaez alright thanks , did you build through microcenter ?

You should have replaced the thermal paste on the CPU cooler, other than that straight forward.

[@ianperezbaez]

That’s a great point and yes I should have! Especially with a Ryzen 7000 series that heat up a lot, I did the mistake of forgetting to order thermal paste at the time of building it but ordered it after!

Why is there a black cable and a white cable at the top left? at minute 15:47

[@ianperezbaez]

Those were the CPU power cables as the Cable Mod package that I got only brought 1 8-pin connector and the black one is a 4-pin connector that came with the PSU. At the end of the build I ended up using just the 8-pin connector since I have no plans of overclocking so it will provide enough power.

Great Build! and great to watch! Thank you for posting it! I just finished my new build after 5 years "this weekend 10-21-23". Same GPU "Love it and the looks"! Same RAM "Also awesome"! An All white build. I went with the ASUS ROG Strix X670E-A Gaming WiFi 6E Socket AM5 "cause of the white/silver look" matches the AREO better in my opinion.™ and also with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 12-Core, 24-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor and also the "Case" is the HYTE Y60 "Snow White" AMAZING CASE BTW! & the Corsair iCUE H150i Elite CAPELLIX XT Desktop Liquid CPU Cooler 360mm & all case fans are Corsair" Also all white". I absolutely love the way it looks and my games are just awesome at 150+ FPS. at 120 Hertz at 4K. I did do the SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVME Gen 4 only cause at 138$ it was a steal. I did keep my NZXT 850 PSU "I might go bigger at some point". All in all, it was about 2600$ USD. I feel it was a good deal, and Could I have gone higher? Yes. But why? This new build looks amazing and my games "any games" do play flawlessly. My last build was a NZXT build "Now under my desk lol". This time I went with Corsair/Asus/Gigabyte. I almost went with the AREO MB as well. Thanks again for this. Fun to watch. 👍👍

[@ianperezbaez]

Your build sounds amazing! Hope you can share your build with everyone someday!
