Whats up guys im Rob from TechRage and i wont start with ranting on about my channel trying to get visitors as thats not the reason im here!

I dont pretend to know everything there is to know about computers or even tech so been able to come over here and get useful advice is always great!

Basicly I have just got the RaiJinTek Paean case from OCUK so i can put together a decent test bench for me to be able to benchmark products on my channel as and when they come... IE graphics cards, sounds cards, IO devices, Hard drives blah blah blah

What id love from you guys is some advice on what parts would make sence to buy...

Heres my thoughts
--Cosair 850x PSU (Enough power for benching things?)
--Z270 Motherboard (but not a clue what one)
--i7 6800k (Thinking skylake for price as Kabilake is still silly money)
--GTX 1080 (Not sure if i even need this much power if im going to be testing other cards anyways)
--G-Skill Trident Ram (Would also like to bench test some ram in the future)
--Samsung 850 Evo SSD

Anyways thats a list of the things i had in mind... not sure what anyone else things. Ill start off by air cooling the whole system but will move onto a custom watercool loop once i have things set up better

Although getting money is an upside of been a good youtuber at the moment its a hobby and something to do in my down time thats not sitting in front of the TV

Iv been doing it 3 months now and will have video 12 uploaded in an hour of the case i just said about. I have 315 Subscribers now and over 40k video views so really happy with how things are moving... I would love to get to the stage where companys are able to support and sponsor me to help with my love for Tech and improve the channel content
 
Haha its not a case of not been able to spec a PC... for gaming and performance we all know what we need but for bench marking things can be a little different

No i wont be using the PC day to day at all... it will just be for the channel mainly

I think thats good advice biz kid about getting the CPU, motherboard, RAM and an SSD... As i can then test my first graphics card and get to grips with things

Thanks for taking the time to look at my videos Andy... like i said im not here to get subs or views although that would be amazing. Its all about building a community and learning
