Building an i7-9700K + GTX 1060 RGB Workstation Computer (Step By Step). A Coffee Lake Refresh building process with Intel's 9th generation i7-9700K. This build is for any non-gamer but offers a powerful computer to work with photography or render videos and showing off some RGB without overspending on RGB. Swiftly handles the everyday use, saves a lot of files, & allows many external devices to be connected and watch Blu-Ray movies, etc. Yes, this computer easily plays 1080p gaming.

Built for my Uncle, Jan-Feb 2019.

NOTES: Sorry this took me so long to finish editing this super late video.

Please don't hesitate to ask for questions about the build!
