My EPIC $2500 ASUS TUF Gaming PC Build! - Full Build And Benchmarks! (w/ Intel 14700K & TUF 4070 Ti)

[@ezikagirl]

out of all pcs I've seen, this is the most beautiful one!

[@jordanash]

Thank you 😍

[@Fuexo.]

Very nice build bro, got recommended your video!

[@jordanash]

Thank you! Oh great, hopefully I'll get more viewers like you.

[@TheKeyrub]

After watching your video, I have been ordering it piece by piece, just missing cpu and gpu, thank you very much for your video, it will be the first PC I build.

[@jordanash]

You're welcome, glad I could help! That's a beast of a first PC to build.

[@TheKeyrub]

@@jordanash i build right now

[@Andy-y7z5c]

Nice build. I gave up waiting for this AIO from Asus and got a Phanteks 360D30 for my TUF Gt502

[@jordanash]

Thank you. That's a great cooler, especially with the clean fan connectors.

[@Andy-y7z5c]

@@jordanash Only problem is 2 of my six fans wont light up. I have 2 sets of three one set on AIO other down side of case. The last fan in each chain wont light up.

[@Andy-y7z5c]

Fixed it Armoury Crate Rescan picked them up after a number of tries.

[@jordanash]

Oh Armoury crate, says it all haha

[@clipsen2minutos484]

Love the startup, please keep doing

[@jordanash]

Thank you, I will.

[@nerdypcbuilder]

did you just say "deeznutz" 😂

[@jordanash]

Got em' 😏

[@deuswulf6193]

With the vertical mount you can run the tubing down with a side mounted rad, which hides the tubing almost entirely. Much more aesthetically pleasing.

[@jordanash]

I like my AIO in the roof, exhausts straight out then too. Also wanted to show the AIO as its the new model.

[@deuswulf6193]

@@jordanash You can do exhausts from the side panel as well. Generally works out better for this particular case since top mounted fans are largely hidden unless there's a rad up there. I gotcha though, what you did is the best way to show off all of the AIO if that was your goal. I have a similar build, same case, 7950x3D with a TUF mobo and 4090. Only difference is, still using Air Cooling. Tempted to get the AIO, but as you noted only a few degree difference over the Noctua or equivalent cooler definitely makes it more of an aesthetic choice than a practical one, at least in my case. Cheers.

[@jordanash]

Yeah, as it was new I wanted it to be front and centre to show it off for my Asus rep. I might try it another way in the future though. Yeah it's a good cooler but not sure if it's worth the cost if you've already got a decent air cooler. Thanks for watching!

[@deuswulf6193]

@@jordanashWell you are definitely one of the first English speakers to review it, which I appreciate. Quick question, were you able to rotate the face plate at all, or is it stuck upwards with the tubing on the bottom?

[@jordanash]

My pleasure. I don't believe it's moveable.

[@Goldbrazucca]

GT502 case is compatible with Z790 BTF MB, please?

[@jordanash]

No, it's not. It's rumored they'll be bringing out a BTF version soon though.

[@Goldbrazucca]

@@jordanash Thanks, but it's too bad. Now I have to cut of some parts of mine GT502.

[@jordanash]

Oh, did you buy it without checking?

[@Goldbrazucca]

@@jordanash ,Yes, unfortunately I just searched for "Asus BTF cases" and bought the GT502 that came up as a result of the search, assuming it was also adaptable for BTF MBs.

[@jordanash]

Oh I see, I expect it just added other cases that just had Asus in the title.

[@_AshishMohanty]

Can u tell what cameras do u use for ur videos and is there any overheating issues for this kind longer format videos or any limitation BTW awesome build

[@jordanash]

Panasonic GH4 facing me and Canon 90D too down. The GH4 can go an hour and the 90D 30 minutes before they automatically stop. I don't think it's to do with heat like Sonys, just a cap. Thank you.

[@RTX4080SGAMEPLAYS]

What vertical mount are you using!? It looks beautifull

[@jordanash]

It's in the video 😅 9:31

[@SVKING98]

Hey guys I just brought my first pc case which is a Asus tuff GT502 I was wondering if you could give me some advice on some Recomended parts for it as I'm a total noob but really want to build me a gaming pc, A list of parts for this year would be very much appreciated.

[@jordanash]

I've done two videos with this case (and loads of other builds), the other is cheaper which might be helpful for part suggestions.

[@moooor82]

Is the power supply good ? I'm thinking of buying one What do you think?

[@jordanash]

It's alright, some people say it's a bit loud but I didn't notice it personally.

[@napoficial7123]

There are no Tuf memories?

[@jordanash]

No

[@thatotterguy3062]

where did you get the vertical mount 😭😭😭😭 i've been lookin for it everywhere

[@jordanash]

That's from Phanteks

[@sicklikebrie136]

How did you get the drivers to install, i have a similar build but it won’t install the drivers.

[@jordanash]

Just got them from the Asus site on my laptop and put them on a USB. How are you doing it?

[@waavy6907]

How loud are the TF120s?

[@jordanash]

Not loud at all, very respectable volumes.

[@XeVierTech]

Do you think you can do the same build but full amd?

[@jordanash]

I could do, I've got a TUF 7900XTX since I made this.

[@XeVierTech]

@@jordanash would really appreciate, I'm right now looking for nice gaming build with only AMD for like 2500$

[@jordanash]

I'm planning another build soon that's all AMD, it's around $2000.

[@XeVierTech]

@@jordanash I'll wait for your video. Thank you

[@jordanash]

Okay :) No problem

[@hicetnunc_]

Did you need to update the Bios using another cpu in order to work with i7-14700k?

[@jordanash]

No, this board was part of the 14th Gen launch.

[@hicetnunc_]

@@jordanash thank you for your quick reply :) Do you know if with the z790 gaming plus wifi from asus will I have this issue? I have no other cpus

[@jordanash]

No problem. The ASUS one? Just checking as MSI have one named the same, annoyingly.

[@hicetnunc_]

@@jordanash yes, from Asus. The Msi was my first choiche, but I read that many come faulty and the ones left break soon. I am kinda confused. Even the z790 aorus from Gigabyte seems interesting, but is it performing as good? Is the software any good? I also read their customer service isn't the best

[@jordanash]

I've had no issues with Aorus/GB boards, they've been very good. Sorry you said Asus, I missed it. In terms of the ASUS Z790, they should have been updating them from the factory, but should you need to update it, you *might* be able to update the bios with the 14th Gen CPU in it, it just comes up as a different SKU until the update is complete.

[@DailyHitOfBrainrot]

Hey I bought the 4070ti ASUs tuf gaming white oc 12 gb but dk what lian li strimer to use could you help me out 😅 thanks

[@jordanash]

I'd go for this www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-strimer-v2-argb-124-pin-to-124-pin-12vhpwr-extension-cable-cb-011-ll.html

[@thegr8chico668]

On Amazon it says that the cpu socket size is LGA 771 lol

[@jordanash]

Have we gone back in time, haha

[@thegr8chico668]

It’s LGA1700 right like I’m overthinking to order it

[@jordanash]

Yeah it's 1700, just a typo

[@FruTeXx121]

Now this is a tuf one 😂

[@jordanash]

I see what you did there...

[@damejonify]

As tuf as this is… kinda hurts spending 2500$ and only getting a 4070ti 😅

[@jordanash]

PC's are certainly not as cheap as they used to be. Although the parts in them are drastically more powerful now. You might be able to go 4080, but I don't like sacrificing product quality and performance for it. Plus the 4070ti is a beast anyway.

[@damejonify]

@@jordanash I could argue you could fit a 4090 in a 2500$ budget (assuming you could buy it for msrp) But it’s all subjective in what you prefer with performance vs ascetics. Build looks awesome nonetheless 🙏🏼

[@jordanash]

What cpu would you have to use though? Wouldn't be a 14700k would it?

[@damejonify]

@@jordanash I’d use a 7800x3d

[@jordanash]

Yeah that's a more gaming focused CPU anyway.
