First PC Building Experience

I also learned that it's possible to unlock +15% CPU performance by scrolling back up to SMASH the like button :_shrek:

Step one: find money

I stopped watching PC assembly videos like 3 years ago. But for some reason I watched this entire video without a skip. Good work!

The best (probably unintentional) PC-building tutorial on YT. Great job!

Considering you’re a first time builder, like myself, you actually made this experience way easier to understand than most of the pros! I felt like you were speaking my language as a first timer and included EVERYTHING I needed to know. Thank you so so much

“I heard Linus say” the most reputable source😂

Well done for a first time build. Solid no nonsense PC that met your needs.

If windows doesnt have the ethernet or wifi driver you can connect ur pc to ur android phone with a USB cable and enable USB tethering in Android and now windows will have internet connectivity so u can download drivers.

I have some tips for your build: 9:40 The usb-c connector (type E connector) only goes in one way. Notice how one of the edges is wider than the rest. Specifically, at 9:45 you can see how the pins are slightly off-center. 10:40 NC is short for no-connection, meaning that pin is just a piece of metal used to fill out empty space (it's there so other connectors can't be plugged in). As it is, the reset switch is not functional and instead needs to be connected to RSTCON# and Ground (notice the two lines below these words at 10:42). 11:05 I happen to have the same case as you (except white). The 3.5" hard drive "shelves" can be entirely removed from the case so you have more room to work with the power supply. It also results in an opportunity for better airflow (not that it really matters down there).

Damn! I just bought almost exact same pc yesterday! And are also building my first pc! Have had the same scary thoughts about the grown up legos, so thanks for the video! Its kinda more easy to understand from someone in the same shoes!

Geez that SSD instalation made sent chills down my spine

I am an It-Specialist. Everytime i build a PC, i get nervous, i hate it. Nice to see you go down that path. EDIT: And i acutally learned something from your video.

this is my favorite pc build video yet. so calm and relaxing. with subtle goofs along the way

LMAO you're timing is PERFECTO woah dude i literally just started looking into pc building a week ago

All in all, congrats with your new PC, and congrats on this excellent guide on how to build a PC!

Amazing documentation. Everything in this video I feel like I went through. The only parts that I didn't experience myself was the SSD torture (hurts my soul), and the fan connector issues. You read directions perfectly, and got it looking professional. Props to you! Amazing first build.

This is actually a very helpful video for when I will eventually build mine, learned a lot of things thanks to you.

you are without a doubt an amazing person and its like my thoughts were speaking. you are that guy. this is one of the most complete guides ive seen, its no nonsense and ticks most of the boxes of providing info without veering off.

I don't think you have to switch the power supply on before you touch it.. as long as it's plugged in. They're telling you to touch it because the metal is attached to the bond wire, which is bonded to ground. As long as the cable is plugged into it, you shouldn't need to switch it on, as that just connects the line and load sides coming from your service panel, completing a circuit.

one of the best 1500$-1600$ budget gaming PCs i have seen, great job on the parts selection, it's nearly perfect.
