Welcome to Part 2 of building the quietest white PC you've ever seen. First, let's assemble our motherboard. We have our motherboard, our CPU, our RAM, and our SSD. This motherboard is the GIGABYTE X670E Aero X3D Wood. Tell me she's not the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. Our CPU here, Ryzen 7 9850X3D. Shoutout to AMD for sending this over. We're gonna line this triangle up with this triangle and lock it into place. I have 32 GB of DDR5 from Kingston. We don't need to talk about how much that cost right now. We don't need that kind of negativity in our lives. Get those bad boys clicked into place. There's one and two. This is a 1 TB SSD, also from Kingston. Don't forget to peel this off. And look at that, our motherboard is all done. Let's install her into the case. This case is the Light Base 500 LX from be quiet!, but I really do love these angled side fans here. They actually slide out of right here, which is pretty cool. We're gonna align it up with our standoffs. Perfect. Okay, she's all screwed in. Let's go ahead and get our case cables connected so I don't have to deal with those later. Probably my least favorite part of any build. I cannot stand case cables. Boom, done! This is the Light Loop 360mm in white from be quiet!. You want to make sure you have the right bracket on for your specific CPU, whether it's Intel or AMD. Tell me, are you team air cooler or team AIO? I've always been an AIO girly, but that's just me. Maybe I'll try an air cooler one day. Perfect! We did it, truly. Come back to part three where we'll get our PSU and our GPU installed.
