    Hi guys, I'm home on medical leave from cancer treatment that ended this past July. By the way, the aftermath of the treatment left me semi-disabled but I'm still happy to be cancer-free!. I was going to buy a low-level gaming PC from Best Buy. It was an HP Omen Ryzen 5. After researching it., the thermals and upgradability did not seem good. Prebuilt PCs seem to have low specs for the money. This video gave me a fun way to do our first build. My wife and I loved your video and thought it would be fun to do together. I'm a Mac user, but I have 70 older games on Steam I have nothing to play them on. This would do that and dually serve in light gaming and as Microsoft Office and Publisher! When we make our final decision to build it ourselves, we'll definitely follow the affiliate links! Thanks and Gary and Melissa...

    So I'm the level below Noobie and still in the 'learning what each part is and what it does' phase. I've been doing A LOT of researching on parts, price ranges, current decent pre-builts, and so on - just trying to figure out how much total I'll have to spend and whether I should try to build a gaming pc myself or buy a pre-built. Honestly, this video is SO HELPFUL! One of the biggest hesitations I've had on building my own pc has been figuring out how to put everything together if I went that path. You guys explain this very well and it makes total sense to me so thank you! I ultimately want to become a narrative designer for a video game company and I'm working on building my knowledge of the development process by of course playing games (on console right now) but I want to be able to download Unity, possibly Unreal too, so I can work with them. I know I'm still at the starting block, dare I say a few steps away, and if anyone has any advice, I'd certainly appreciate it!

    This was really instructional. I think one thing that I would have done differently is to screw in the SSD before mounting that fan since there is more space for the screwdriver. Would be cool do to a video with an AIO for your next one.
  • @An_M4A3
    Can you make one for 270 dolars?
  • @airsoftjawz1842
    The pc case is out of stock what else is similar to it that I can get
  • @xpodx
    What's the desk pad?
  • @felixfathead1640
    I bought the linked case but it turns out it doesn’t come with the built in fans. I did however buy the frozn fan that’s part of the build. Will I be okay or is there a place to buy the case fans separately?
  • @felixfathead1640
    I’m able to install windows fine, but as soon as I install any drivers, (for gpu or the ASRock auto drivers) I get a display driver error and upon restarting it gets sent into a permanent boot loop, and I have to fully reset the pc
  • @tiagogotgamesilva9751
    When I look up aasrock rx 5600 I can't find anything I am a 14 year old boy I'm trying to get into pcs for a better gaming experience but I don't really know hop pcs work and it's really confusing to me so I'm trying to calculate how much money i have to save up to build this pc but when i look up asrock rx 5600 nothing pops up if there is another gpu that's in the budget and still gives good fps i would be happy if you let me know or have any better suggestions for a pre built since I'm really new
  • @That2jguy
