Man, I just want to thank you and GOD bless you!!! , you motivated me to get back on my first carrier as a PC technician, back in 2006 I did finish my classes for the A+ certification, and they promised me a high salary, but in 2007-2008 I wasn't able to get a decent job, I did have to put everything on the side and start driving Cdl trucks, finally, I was getting a good salary (6 years later) and well I move to Ups and that's it, I didn't move back to computers, finally I decided to change my old 13 old gaming pc and as soon as I checked the prices and specs. I said to myself forget about it, then I watched your video building a gaming rig using a Msi tomahawk z690 and and I7 12700K, and I said to myself you have to get back! GOD BLESS YOU MAN I did it, now the trucking industry is struggling, and after I did build my rig some guys asked me to fix theirs pcs. You are one if not the most professional guy I ever see building computers, you do not skip any details. Awesome Work thanks again.

@philipwallace244 Год назад

Fantasic content yet again on a PC build giude the best on the net. A suggestion that I think is needed from you is a comprehensive guide of how to trouble shoot a pc once built that doesn't post !! or does post but then stops booting .ie..the typical error debug codes and boot issues explained well. Your the man to do it no doubt as I'm yet to see a video helping new pc builders that experience issues.. This knowledge would be just as essential as the build itself..debug codes OD /A2 ? and being unable to get into the BIOS for eg.. keep up the fab work Chris..

Before my build I watched many vids from tech youtubers . I paused often , making many notes on paper so that I was as prepared as I could be for the moment of first boot ( the time when you cant access the net on your still windowless new PC to verify the steps in the process ) . Anyway , after all the heartstopping moments , it all came together . I return here to thank you for your calm and concise manner of explanation . I think your tutorials are every bit as valuable as other more subscribed channels and I wish more lasting success for you . Thanks mate , I owe ya several beers :)

I am a bit late on this. Recently discovered this channel. You definitely have my sub Chris. What a brilliant guide this is. Although I am no stranger to upgrading PC components. I have never installed a motherboard etc from scratch, into a new case. I have ordered a new Antec NX416L case in White. Got a new motherboard coming for it, and a new M2 SSD drive and standard SSD drive. I will be migrating most of my other stuff into the new case, and this guide will be essential to help me do that.

Do you happen to have a discord or other forum where you answer questions? It seems that Ive run into some really odd issues with a Lian Li LANCOOL RGB case that just make no sense.

Like why my SATA drives wouldnt work when connected, why my mobo wont post when an XMP profile is enabled, or why it wont post when I have AI Overclocking enabled.
