$560 Entry Level Gaming PC - Corsair Carbide 270R / GTX 1050 Ti

Hello everyone, I'm Ryan with PC Part Picker and welcome back to another build video. Today we're putting together a budget gaming machine based on our entry-level build guide inside of the newly released Corsair 270R. A big thanks goes out to Corsair for providing the case for this build. Let's get started. Our motherboard for this build is the ASRock B150M Pro 4S. Let's open the box and take a look at what's included. Inside we have the motherboard manual and drivers, SATA cables, and our IO shield. Underneath we have the motherboard itself. Our processor for this build is the Intel Core i3-6100. It comes bundled with a stock cooler which we will be using for this build. So remove it from the box, slide out the processor, and set the cooler to the side for now. Open the latch on the motherboard and flip up the cover. Remove your CPU from the plastic case. You'll notice on the corner of the processor is a little gold triangle. This is the pin 1 indicator and it'll line up with the white triangle on the motherboard. Gently set the CPU into place and close the latch. To cool our i3, we're using the stock cooler that was included. You'll notice that the thermal paste is already pre-applied. So line up the posts with the holes around the socket and make sure you have enough room for the CPU fan to reach the header on the motherboard. Push the posts in and they should click when secure. Don't forget to plug in the CPU fan to the header on the motherboard. For our build we're using 8 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory. We've already consulted the motherboard manual so we know that we'll be using slots A2 and B2 for dual channel support. Open the latch on the DIMM slot, take the memory, and set it into place. Push down on the top and it should click when secure. Before installing the motherboard, remember to place the IO shield in the back of the case. It should click in the corners when secure. The Corsair Carbide 270R comes with standoffs pre-installed for an ATX motherboard. We've moved two of them since we're using a micro ATX board in this build. Additionally, in the middle here we have a mounting post to help align the board when you set it in place. Take the motherboard and align it with the mounting point and the rear IO shield, and set it into place. Secure the motherboard to the case using the provided standoff screws. Our power supply for this build is the Seasonic M12 II Evo. It comes with all the cables and accessories that you see here, but we only need cables for our motherboard and our SSD. So plug in the 24-pin cable, the 8-pin CPU cable, and our SATA cable. The Corsair 270R has a fan grill at the bottom of the case, so we'll place our power supply with the fan down to intake cold air and exhaust it out the back. Secure it to the case using the screws that came with the power supply. Remove the 2.5-inch drive bracket so that we can mount our SSD. Set the SSD on top of the bracket, flip it over, and screw it in. Secure the 2.5-inch drive bracket back to the case. Connect the SATA power to the SSD, then connect the SATA data cable. Route your cables from the back of the case to the front, starting with the SATA data, 24-pin, and the 8-pin cable. Our front panel IO and USB are already routed. We flipped our case over, so let's plug in all of the cables, starting with our rear case fan. HD audio cable, hard drive LED cable, reset switch, power LED, power switch cable, SATA data cable, the front case fan, USB 3.0 cable, 24-pin power cable, and the 8-pin CPU cable. Remove the first expansion slot cover to make room for the graphics card. Open the latch on the X16 slot and gently set your graphics card into place. Secure the graphics card to the back of the case using the screw we removed. All right, with all of our components installed, let's flip the switch on the power supply, press the power button, and give it a quick test boot before we manage our cables. And that's the screen we're looking for. All we have to do now is tidy those cables and install the operating system.
