In this part of the video, the presenter introduces a high-end gaming PC build for 2022, featuring the latest 12th gen Intel processors, an RTX 3070, and a Z690 motherboard from Intel and Gigabyte. The focus is on assembling the core components, starting with the CPU, the Intel Core i7-12700K, highlighting its great performance for gaming at various resolutions. The presenter details the installation process for the CPU, aligning it carefully with the socket to avoid damage. Next, they install the Corsair Dominator DDR5 memory, a limited edition with RGB lighting, into the appropriate motherboard slots. Finally, they begin installing the M.2 SSD, removing the motherboard’s built-in heatsink to make way for a Samsung 980 Pro drive.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses the heatsink version of a Gen 4 NVMe SSD, emphasizing its importance for cooling in high-performance PCs and PS5s. They note Samsung’s switch to environmentally friendly packaging and the slim design of the heatsink, which avoids clearance issues. The installation process includes removing protective film from the thermal pad and securing the SSD with included screws.
The focus then shifts to installation within a Lianli 011D mini chassis, praised for its aesthetics and features. The presenter removes the side panels, highlighting the case’s fish tank appearance and noting it requires a small form factor power supply despite being an ATX chassis. They lay the case flat for easier access, position the motherboard, and detail that the i/o will align with a rear cutout.
The segment concludes with advice for first-time builders, acknowledging the build’s complexity but assuring it’s manageable. The presenter mentions the next step will be installing the CPU cooler, preferring a Gigabyte-themed setup.

In this segment of the video, the presenter attempts to fit an x360 radiator into a computer case but faces challenges due to its size. Despite trying different orientations, the x360 radiator proves too large, prompting a switch to a backup 240mm radiator, which fits better. The presenter then installs the radiator and fans, noting the tight fit and necessary adjustments. They continue the build by adding a backplate for the cooler, setting up specific screws for the LGA 1700 socket, and carefully installing the water block. With that complete, they move on to addressing the graphics card, choosing a Gigabyte 3017, and acknowledging viewer feedback about the 70 Ti model.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the installation and compatibility of a GPU within a specific PC build, emphasizing the need for a substantial GPU and suggesting the possibility for additional fans and airflow with a push-pull radiator configuration. They also touch on the ongoing GPU crisis and advise viewers to check a previous video for more details. The presenter prepares for the installation by removing necessary PCI lane covers and fitting the GPU, recommending the black version of the 011D Mini case if replicating the build but affirming the suitability of the white version with RGB lighting. They introduce and install a Cooler Master V850 SFX power supply, highlighting its small form factor but noting the need for cable extensions due to short cables. After managing the cables and securing the power supply, the system is booted up, and they showcase its performance in various games. Benchmarks for games such as Battlefield 2042, Call of Duty Vanguard, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo Infinite are provided, demonstrating impressive frame rates and visual quality at 1440p resolution with high settings and DLSS performance mode.
