My twins just turned 12, and had been saving money to build their own gaming pcs for a couple of years. This tutorial was essential. It was especially reassuring when you noted how installing a part should feel in your hands, and that offsetting a cooler fan is okay if your RAM is too tall. Thank you! Now my kids have invaluable experience with planning, installing, troubleshooting, and most importantly, reading TFM.

@@PrayTellGaming That's only because most games, as of the release of this video, are still designed with 8th gen console cpu (shitty 8-core Jaguar, 1.6ghz, worse than any modern 4c/8t at same clock speed) capability in mind. You only start to see non console-exclusive current-gen only titles near the end of 2022. For now things like Unreal Engine 5 demos or Star Citizen can give you an idea of just how CPU intensive a game can be (and how useful having octa cores are) when not caring for last-gen console.

MAN I LOVE THIS COMMENT. I am recently disabled, and have done mostly physical labor, sorts of jobs my entire life, but always had an audio/music background as well, and was raised on computers thanks to my Dad's job. I now, decades later, after being horrified, switching to Apple for two decades, and, basically losing a ton of knowledge I might've had back when, am FINALLY, able to say the same as you man. I am building a PC, with my old man, and he remembers when Bytes were something revolutionary, so it's just great to hear someone else with a similar fear overcome. Today is the day that ends for me, and someone who remembers the first computers ever built. Much love.

Word of advice: no matter how many build videos you watch, you WILL have to improvise. There may come a time where some exotic quirk pops up, or some very situation specific problem. Don't stress out if you have no idea how to deal with it. Pro builders get stuck sometimes too. Use that Goo-Fu to look up what you need, and as Anthony said, RTFM. Don't get too sure of yourself and don't be afraid to look something up and you'll save yourself a ton of headache. I made the mistake of being cocky having seen 200+ build videos across various channels. While I got through most of it without a hitch, the parts I did screw up on, were a huge hassle and things I could have easily avoided had I not been cocky about it and taken more time. If the build takes 1 hour or 6, it takes however long it takes. Set aside a lot of buffer time because you never know when a 1 hour build can turn into 3 or more. Don't rush, keep cool, and RTFM.

It's surprising to see that building a PC hasn't changed too much since I build my first. OK, there are more fans and you no longer have to install any drive (optical or 3.5") in the front. Plus in those days cable management was just hoping that you could bundle them up anywhere possible because those fancy backplates weren't there yet. I'm talking mid to late '90s here... 😅 (yes, I truly am 40 right now and was just a 14 year old girl who liked PC's and programming 😏. Ow and I haven't build one in about 20 years due to disability issues.😢) But all that aside, this is absolutely the most elaborate and helpful guide to build a PC. For any future novice and beyond build your own people, just follow along and enjoy your new and personalized PC! 😄🥳🥳🥳🥳

Thought I'd come back to say I built my first non prebuilt pc using this guide (I'd picked my parts beforehand, but the part picking section helped me verify my choices) and It's honestly as close to perfect as it can be. I had 4 main problems the entire time and most were simple - thought I'd list them to help others in the future, the last one in particular I don't think was mentioned in the video and took the longest to fix, so if you're having an issue with your bootdrive not being detected, try reading through that. Also, I think it's mentioned in the video at some point but I'll say this because it was a problem for me as my graphics card needed 3 pci-e cables but only 2 came with the psu. Seriously do not mix power supply cables for modular power supplies. Get it direct from the psu manufacturer just to be sure, even if it takes 2 weeks (which it did for me) while you're just sat there looking at your parts (tbf, only had the gpu and case at the time, and then I decided to budget to do a full upgrade when I was only supposed to be doing the gpu so worked out in the end.) I had a friend had their components due to mixing cables so I simply do not do it and strongly recommend for peace of mind and safety that no one else does it either - there's a gamer's nexus article and video about this called " PSA: Mixing Modular PSU Cables Can Kill Components " If you want to learn more. 1st was that I needed to flash my am5 motherboard for the 7600x (not sure why), i think most am5 motherboards have bios flashback but I'd recommend making sure your board does regardless of the platform - it might save you a lot of trouble for not much extra, especially on older boards. 2nd was that I couldn't seat my ram properly for some reason, might be that ddr5 requires more force?? because I've never had that problem with ddr4 (the few times I've had to reseat it, usually after moving or to troubleshoot) so my build wouldn't POST, but like the video says, if you look at the LED indicator on your motherboard you can figure out why - though I have an asus board and the colors were different, so look online or check the manual (i think it's also printed directly on the board.) For me it clearly was showing it was a ram issue, so i decided well I either have a dead kit which seemed unlikely, or I need to apply more force, so I did and that fixed the issue. 3rd issue was that a couple of my connectors had come loose during cable management i assume, simply checked all my connectors and push them a little further in, making use clips were engaged and it finally worked. The last issue is that for whatever reason my boot drive which i was reusing from my original prebuilt (or any drive at all) wasn't detected by the boot manager. I'm not sure the exact reason because its been a while but I will say it had something to do with me having a system partion on 2 drives (because I'd copied my OS installation from my hard drive to my ssd when I added it to my old pc which was a prebuilt) and having an mbr formatted drive and it wanted gpt. There were so many little problems around this, at one point after changing many things in the bios (i know one of them was changing somethings related to boot from uefi to legacy) I could boot but only through the bios then I found that there was supposed to be a simple way to convert from mbr callled mbr2gpt but that wouldn't work. In the end I know I followed some guide that used a tool called Macrium reflect and got mbr2gpt working eventually. If you have this or a similar issue an easier way to fix it would be to simply reinstall windows but I didn't want to do that. Also, if you have the exact issue I did with having 2 system reserved partitions, be warned, if you delete one (eg: the one on the disk that doesn't have windows on it anymore) you will not be able to get back into windows. I used the macrium reflect rescue media (basically a bootable iso on a usb) to fix it again, make sure you have that if you plan to try and fix that. Also be warned in general, it is very easy to accidentally format your entire drive and wipe everything using the windows disk management tool, I consider myself quite technical and find it confusing. Honestly if there's like 500mb of space just sat unassigned once you've fixed your drive issue and you have data on that drive you don't want to lose, just leave it unless you know exactly what you're doing or at least back it up first. After deleting the system reserve there was some extra space on my hdd unassigned so I tried to add it all back into one volume, but somehow this created a seperate volume that was also somehow linked to the first one (so one that was 930gb and one that was 500mb) so when I tried to delete it, my entire drive was wiped. still not sure why but wasn't too bothered as my hdd mostly had nothing important on it, mostly games i don't play too much or ones where the loading times don't matter to me.

Yeah I just wanted to say, I watched this whole thing even though I know how to build a PC now but this is one of the best guides I have ever seen anywhere. I think it's because they're particularly well organized in a cohesive, sensible, structured, and descriptive manner that's not overwhelming neither is it scatterbrained, and kudos to whoever was in on that meeting and co-worked to produce this thing, because if anyone asked me "how to build PC? give me the long version" I'd say this. "SHort version?" I'd also say this. And then I'd rattle off the names of some of the top channels I watch. This is because they explain, in plain terms, all the different use cases and circumstance too. Like it's not "how is gaming PC borned" it's literally "or if you want a server, or video editing" etc. and they help to explain why these things are that way. Frankly I kinda wish I'd seen this video back when I was building, or even upgrading, because then I'd not have done stupid shit like buy DDR3 RAM without checking it's ECC or not.

If you want to know another cool thing that I learned from Thermalright a solid 13-15 years ago: When installing a CPU cooler, in order to improve the flow of the thermal compound across the IHS and cold plate during installation, you can apply a thin layer of thermal paste by using a credit card or other thin plastic card to squeegee on an incredibly thin layer. Basically, apply a thin line of thermal paste on one side and use the credit card to scrape it across the surface. If it is opaque then you left too much. It's also a good opportunity to fill in any gaps between the heat pipes in direct contact heat pipe coolers. Thermalright is also the company that recommended the X pattern with dots between the legs for the high TDP Core2Extreme processors and up, since their die size was fairly large and using too little thermal paste could become a considerable problem. That has been my default method of thermal paste application for years because of that.

I've built computers for 25 years and have never once put a card in the system before the motherboard was screwed into the case. I think I've almost always done CPU + heatsink mount if applicable, screw into case, RAM + heatsink, cards, cables. I'm not convinced it would be any easier to do it while the mobo is out of the system (and I'd feel weird picking up a motherboard with a massive GPU hanging off it !?), but as long as everything gets stuck in the right places in the end I guess it's irrelevant.

Then finally you have to make sure all the different cards are not conflicting with one another. Not to mention installing WindowsNT or early versions of Windows 95.

The level of detail you guys put into this, including so many "what if's" and contingencies and covering differences between hardware brands is much appreciated. However, firing it up for the first time using a freaking screwdriver was pucker factor 9000. Between not owning an electron microscope to read font size .001 on the mobo and not having the steady hands of a brain surgeon, this step was basically a leap of faith. But, I RTFM to find the header, and it turned on with no issues. BIOS recognized everything. I couldn't believe it. Thank you so much for making this video.

Just a reminder: for older motherboards or cost-cut motherboards, if you have a CPU with iGPU or onboard graphics solution, even if you have a graphics card there is a good chance that it will default to the motherboard's graphics solution first and you will need to configure the BIOS to use the external graphics for pre-boot display. This has become less common, but is still important to remember.

@@strydyrhellzrydyr1345 It's not a huge problem. You just move the HDMI or Displayport cable to your motherboard's video output. Boot to the BIOS config and look around until you find the setting for default video output device so you can set it to be external GPU or whatever your manufacturer calls it. All things considered, it's pretty simple troubleshooting. If your fans are spinning and you aren't hearing error beeps but you're also not seeing display output on your monitor, check and see if there's another video output that it's trying to use before assuming that your GPU is broken. (Just for some extra info: a LOT of workstation and server boards will also default to their onboard graphics, because they don't assume that you're using the GPU for graphics output. I had this problem with my latest computer and I had to borrow a monitor with VGA because I couldn't find my VGA to HDMI adapter anywhere. and my workstation board doesn't have HDMI out.)

I’m about to get my first gaming PC in 2023 and I’ve never been more excited. I’ve been dreaming of having my own for years especially since my mate got one. And his rig is epic.I’m buying one to play the games I can’t play on my PS5. I’m still playing on the PS5 for sure, but there are games I miss playing which aren’t accessible. Cos either A) I have to stream them over my bad WiFi, or B) they’re not available on PS. Games like Gears of War for example. I’m not looking to go all out to have the best PC imaginable, it I just want to be able to play those games I haven’t played for years. Most of them fairly old games, so I hopefully shouldn’t need crazy good specs. Maybe down the line when the next generation of PS comes around, and hopefully by then have myself a good job that pays well(which is another story entirely), I might go after it. But until then, I’m just excited to have my own PC. The gaming PCs longevity is far superior to consoles in my opinion and the library of games is seemingly limitless. I’ve been watching videos about these for the last week in anticipation and unbridled excitement!😄😄😄😄

Great video. I'm a seasoned PC-builder, having built my first desktop PC in 1984. That doesn't mean I didn't learn quite a lot from your presentation because there's a lot of new stuff here since I built my last machine a few years ago. In the 1980s, I worked for a video terminal and PC manufacturer. As part of the engineering and QA group, we performed ESD testing on all assemblies. These units were part of a test set and were never shipping to the customer. Result is static is mean to electronics. It may cause an instant catastrophic failure in some instances while in others there's no apparent damage. The keyword here is apparent damage. These are what is called latent failures. These after-the-fact failures are a painful thing to find because failures manifest themselves in various forms that are difficult to pinpoint such as crashes, intermittent failures, and then eventual catastrophic failures of components. About 15 years ago, I saw this also with a lightning hit power pole next to the building I was working at and took out the power meters. The giant ZAP propagated throughout the building taking out some equipment while other things ran fine including our servers, thanks to our awesome APS UPS taking the hit. Over the course of many months, I ended up replacing hard disks, memory, and eventually whole PCs in manufacturing and other areas in the building and all of these failures were attributed back to the ZAP from the lightning that hit the building.

As well as watched trough this video at least 8 times, to not miss anything during my research and I have to say it's a really good video. You guys have done an incredible job, putting all the important aspects together without going past anything faster then necessary. Now at the end of the week, I finally have a complete list of everything I want and need. The only thing now that is left is to find some good deals on prices including shipping and putting evrything together but that's the fun part! Thanks for your hard work and informative videos :)

I felt like i was in a different state then in the video and didnt know if (and how) i should remove the graphics card, power cables, cpu cooler etc. So if you ever do a version 2 of this video and you read this, maybe keep this in mind.

Beware: Don't mix and match power supply cables, you can have dangerous outcomes. More research is needed in this area, but as a general rule, if you need more cables, its better to upgrade your PSU to one that has the correct cables bundled with the purchased unit. LS should do an follow up video as explain this more. I'd love to hear what he/team has to say about this!

After an excrutiating 2,5 months, beginning with me ordering the components in the black week '22, I saw the BIOS menu of my mainboard for the first time today. We're working two jobs and have our kid at home and I completely miscalculated my time reserve to build the pc with concentration. During build, I had a hideous error with my first mainboard performing a required BIOS flash but not processing data somehow. Today, this seemingly endless winter with a construction site in our home office has finally ended. Somewhat fitting, with spring around the corner. What helped me wasn't only the incredible quality and exhaustiveness of this guide. It was also the good mood. I despaired on a regular basis this winter, and these nice gentlemen were my therapists in many dark hours. Thanks LTT. What a way to get to know your channel.
