In this part of the video, the presenter details how to build an AMD 8700G home theater mini PC, which can also be used for gaming. They introduce the key components for the build, including the AMD Ryzen 8700G, a Silverstone FX350 DG 300W power supply, a 2TB NVMe drive, Vengeance RGB DDR5 memory, and TL B8 fans. The presenter mentions their issue with receiving the wrong cooler but plans to replace it. The motherboard being used is a previously owned ITX board. The video is sponsored by CD Key Sales, with a promise to demonstrate how to purchase and activate Windows and Office keys later in the video. The segment demonstrates the installation of the CPU, memory, and SSD into the motherboard, ensuring audience members understand how to properly seat these components.

In this part of the video, the presenter is assembling a computer, focusing on the installation of the cooler, memory, and fitting components into the case. Initially, they encountered an issue where they received an incorrect cooler for an AMD system and resort to using a stock cooler. They discuss the installation process, including securing the cooler with four screws in a diagonal pattern, and insertion of a 32 GB, 6000 MHz RAM kit with RGB, expressing a preference for non-RGB RAM. The presenter then showcases the aluminum case, noting its aesthetic and functional elements such as its ability to hold SSDs and the limitations this might bring concerning airflow. They mention the inclusion of USB 3.0, audio cables, front panel cables, and the ability to fit 80 mm fans, a GPU, and a specialized power supply. The space constraints within the small case are highlighted, particularly because a non-modular power supply was chosen to avoid high costs associated with modular ones.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the installation of a power supply unit (PSU) in a computer case. They emphasize the importance of considering a PCI Express cable if planning to add a graphics card later, although the power supply’s 350-watt capacity may not suffice for such upgrades, suggesting a potential need for an upgraded PSU. The non-modular nature of the PSU complicates cable management, as a modular PSU would have been more efficient. The presenter proceeds to connect the necessary cables externally before securing the motherboard inside the case. Emphasis is placed on cable management within the limited space, using cable ties to organize and secure them. Additionally, the presenter mentions the installation of two 80mm fans, noting their thickness could make space tight if adding a low-profile dual GPU setup.
00:09:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses considerations for choosing fans for a computer build. They highlight the need to research whether thick or slimmer fans are suitable, with slimmer fans being more expensive but potentially necessary for better airflow, especially if a GPU is used. The speaker is not using a GPU because they have the AT700 G. They mention using affordable Thermal Light fans for increased airflow and explain the installation process, noting that the top vents should help with heat dissipation. The speaker also touches on cable management and the potential need to adjust the setup if airflow is restricted. They suggest using the motherboard’s NVMe slots for additional storage since there’s no room for 3.5-inch drives. The segment concludes with a brief mention of product key acquisition and today’s sponsor, CD key sales.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to purchase software licenses (e.g., Windows 11 Pro and Office 2021) at a discounted price using a provided promo code (capital B, capital R09). The process includes adding the selected software to the cart, applying the promo code for a discount, and completing the purchase via PayPal. The video then guides viewers on how to activate Windows by entering the purchased product key in the system settings under the activation section. Finally, for Office activation, the presenter instructs viewers to sign into their Microsoft account or create a new one to use the purchased key.
00:15:00
In this segment of the video, the presenter is demonstrating how to enter a product key to activate Office Professional Plus 2021. They explain the process of verifying the key, selecting the appropriate region, and confirm that the product key is legitimate. The presenter guides viewers to their Microsoft account’s services and subscriptions section to download the necessary files. They show how to choose installation preferences, such as language, version (32-bit or 64-bit), and the option for an offline installer. Finally, the presenter demonstrates how to download and use the Office image and setup files to complete the installation on a PC.
00:18:00
In this segment of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to install and activate Microsoft Office on a computer. They emphasize that Office can only be installed on one computer at a time, and if it is installed on multiple systems simultaneously, the activation key will be flagged and deactivated. The presenter advises uninstalling and deactivating Office from an old computer before installing it on a new one to avoid issues. After ensuring Office is picked up by the system, the presenter confirms the installation and update process is complete. They then mention upcoming content related to building a home theater PC, conducting benchmarks, and checking system temperatures.
