What Gaming PC Reviews Are Saying

“The best DIY kit for getting into PC building."

"The NZXT Streaming Plus BLD Kit is easy to recommend, and a great option for anyone looking to buy a gaming PC right now. NZXT has taken the hard work out of the component selection. This means you won't come unstuck mid-build because a cable is too short, you don't have enough cooling, or because your graphics card simply won't fit. You also get a chunky build guide that takes you through the whole process like a choose-your-own-adventure book."

Meet the Components

Case

The house. This is where everything lives!

The case is an aesthetically pleasing home for all your PC components. NZXT cases have channels to allow for clean cable management and an easy build. The case also serves as an electrical current ground for all of your components.

Motherboard

The translator. The connector. The motherboard gets everything talking.

The motherboard is responsible for distributing power from your PSU to the other components.

CPU

The brain. The CPU does the thinking.

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is responsible for taking your request and delegating tasks to various components to be executed.

RAM

The desk space. RAM affects the number of tasks that can be efficiently processed at once.

RAM is responsible for pulling programs or files from mass storage into active use. The RAM will pull data from applications in use, acting as the short-term memory.

SSD

The garage. This is where you store your stuff.

The SSD is a fast and efficient way to store and access games, apps, files, and more on your computer. SSD stands for solid-state drive, meaning it has no moving parts, which in turn offers less wear and tear, as well as faster access to your stuff.

PSU

The engine. A PSU pulls, conditions, and sends power to your components.

A common misconception is that the PSU provides power to the PC. It actually converts the high voltage alternating current (AC) power from your wall outlet to a more manageable direct current (DC). It then regulates the DC output to the different areas of your PC depending on power needs and requirements.

Air Cooler

The A/C unit. Keeps your house cool.

An air cooler mounts to your CPU and uses 1 or 2 fans to move air through a series of thin metal fins. These metal fins house the heat given off by your CPU when it is under load.

AIO Cooler

The Refrigerator. Keeps your CPU running cool.

An All in One cooler is a preassembled pump and radiator combination. The pump pushes a liquid cooling solution through a cold plate mounted on the CPU, which allows the heat from the CPU to be transferred into the liquid, which is then moved to the radiator, which is then cooled by the fans mounted to it. This cycle continues to keep your CPU cool.

GPU

The turbocharger. The GPU makes your computer tear through heavy visual loads.

The GPU is in charge of processing all of the visual data of a game or application.

Wi-Fi

The communications relay.

The Wi-Fi card allows you to access your home Wifi network wirelessly.

“My 14-year old son & I had a fun and challenging, yet not too complicated, experience assembling our BLD Kit. Overall it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun working together to create our customized system. The end result was very satisfying!”
Brad Dixon

“Overall, the NZXT Streaming Plus BLD Kit is easy to recommend, and a great option for anyone looking to buy a gaming PC right now. Sure, you're going to have to spend some time piecing it together, but you'll do so knowing that all the components are guaranteed to work well together and you'll potentially get a better understanding of your PC in the process.”
