Bro thank you for not shaming people on not building their own PC, working professionals, full time students, working students, and people who are not good at building period thank you.
Yup! Not to mention those who just don't have any interest in it. PCDIY and PC gaming are two separate hobbies.
I cannot even begin to say how helpful this video was. Thank you so much.
Glad to see the Channel* steadily growing been subbed since 2k subs awesome content as always !
Thanks for sticking around! Once the new series comes out, the channel should really hit its stride 😁
Finally I found someone with actual knowledge and experience thank you will subscribe!!
Hey, I just came across your channel. I like what you are doing. Please keep it up. I'm an old school gamer and a PC Builder. I like to find out the type of games a person like / love to play from Fortnite, Rainbow Six, & More. I always tell them to start with the CPU Intel or AMD. Using New or Used Parts. Having them to stay in their budget and save money.
Thank you once again for your clear explanations.
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
Great breakdown!
Thanks bud!
Great advice from Braethorn, as usual. I'm close to buying a custom config'd Alexander PC and will make good use of the new "thorn" discount code! BTW, I feel the PRO version of any windows OS is definitely worth $10, even if you don't use its BitLocker feature to secure your data files. Why? Because it gives you much more control over Windows feature updates, which can be a royal pain. Murphy's Law says an update will be in progress...delaying availability of your PC...when you most need to get on line quick for some activity.
Well I messed up... should have researched prior to pulling the trigger like many others I'm sure.
I got an alienware R16 with I9 14900kf (24 core), 64gb ram, 2tb m.2 pcle name ssd + 1tb hdd. Plus their AW3423DWF oled monitor. (Also learned I can't upgrade this thing and paid premium for the branding)
I'm a complete newbie to pc gaming. I aspire to educating myself and eventually venturing into content creation. As of now with this setup my gf is playing sims 4 with mods and I'm playing just call of duty 😅.
Great video! Earned a subscriber
Thanks for all the help Brae! You inspired me to go for DIY for my first build and helped me learn how to build a well balanced PC! Finally got it up and running the other day and couldn't be happier!
That's awesome, congrats!
@@braethorn hi just wanted to ask what happened to the xidax review

Do you have any particular recommendations for customizable prebuilt websites to buy a pc
I was not ready to pick out PC parts and build on my own. Based on information from you, I recently bought the Alexander PC Centurion with an I5-14600K, ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Ti, ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus WIFI, 32 GB, DDR5-6400 Kinston Fury, Kingston KC3000 2TB NVME SSD, Lian Li Galahad II 240 AIO, Lain Li Lancool 215 case and 750W 80+ Gold PSU. I could not be happier with Alexander PC, especially the lifetime parts and labor warranty. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you for your help.
I was looking at Alexander pcs aswell I am looking at the cheapest option but does your one game well? Like get high frames
What’s a good pc for at least decent shaders for my Minecraft.
I have recently bought a prebuilt gaming PC, could you tell me what would be some upgrades for this build without breaking the bank? The specs are
CPU-Intel Core i5-12400F
GPU-NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
Memory-16GB (2 x 8GB)DDR5 5200 MHz
Storage- 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Motherboard-B760
Cooler-NZXT T120 RGB
Power-ATX 650W
Case-NZXT H5 elite
Watched some of your videos and ended up buying a Skytech Prism III with a 4090. I couldn't be happier - it's an incredible PC.
How much did it cost?
Congrats!
@@BREEZYM6015 alot
i’m not sure if you’ll answer me but if any would it would be of great help
I wanted to know if these specs would work well together for gaming
im buying the pc off of build redux
intel core i7-12700F (or should i do the i5- 14600f)
Nvidia geforce rtx 4070 super

i won’t buy it till probably november unless someone happens to see this comment
Would love to request some personal advice. Specifically requesting information for a gaming PC. That can be used for recording or streaming.
I get building a pc part wise just the scary thing for me is the putting it together. Im afraid of bending pins, snapping something , over or under pasting. Just too nervous to mess up so close to the end.
That's what pre-builts are for! With an already working system, you have a great platform to make minor upgrades to until you feel comfortable enough to make larger upgrades and eventually build your own. That's how a lot of DIY enthusiasts get their start in the hobby :)
If any one could help me I would greatly appreciate it I bought a cyberpower pc from Best Buy and i didn’t realize it needed a Ethernet cable so I have returned it and i am still looking for a pc my budget is 1k but could probably go to 1.1k I have been looking at the one on Alexander pcs but I don’t know yet. I want to mostly play video games on pretty good frames like Fortnite but also want to trade and watch RUclips and things like that does anyone have any recommendations I would really appreciate it. Thanks
Great video , can you use a 4tb m.2 as your main drive with windows on it, or should you run them separate, I built 4 computers always did them as one , only because I didn't know how to do them separate, thx again new sub your channel is great ❤
In the past people used separate drives for the OS. But nowadays with M.2 SSD drives it's not as big of a deal anymore.
Any recommendations for a gaming, streaming and editing pc? Price range 1500-2000?
Hey I can set up one for you. Like I can build one for you on paper with all the details of where to buy all the pieces
Can we please get a (streaming) video like this??
I have an FX8320, Radeon HD 7950 3GB Twin Frozr iii GPU, and 16GB of DDR3 RAM in a case that I don't use any longer. It just needs a PSU and storage. Should I sell the PC or give it away? I'm thinking about giving it away due to how old the hardware is and the fact that these specs aren't very good for gaming.
Yeah, I wouldn't sell that. You could always use it as a home theater PC.
what is your go to M.2 storage I was looking at the fury renegade
That one is great, as is the slightly cheaper KC3000. The other one I mentioned in the video was the Inland Performance Plus. Great drives, both fast and reliable.
I would recommend making a separate video for every stage with as many details and nuances mentioned as possible.Sounds easy on the surface, but a soon as you start building your first PC you feel overwhelmed by little details that matters.
Could someone help me or give some advice I just got a prebuilt pc it’s a cyber power pc and it works fine but there’s a flashing red light on the top of the chassis anyone have any idea on why
Same thing with me and got cyberpower aswell
first comment? also great video keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Storage has become more important starting in 2023 due to most games being over 100gb and randomly have upgrades that are 10 to 12 gb per upgrade. Flight simulators use much more in graphics storage an example is DCS with all maps can require up to 350gb.
Wow, I've never looked into DCS before. That's a ton of storage! I imagine the speed of the storage is also important to reduce load times.
Generally speaking, most PCs under $3k come with 1TB. It's just not enough these days. With the OS and three AAA titles, most of that space is gone.
May I ask, what would you think of the following at a price of $2,000 Canadian?
MSI Codex R2 Gaming Desktop
Intel Core i7-14700F
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
32GB DDR5
2TB M.2 NVMe SSD
Windows 11 Home
That would be $1470 USD. It looks great!
Might disagree a bit on the price being cheaper for a DIY build vs. a prebuilt. My first PC i built was a 386, and have done so ever since. Back when i build it my DIY box was 30% of a retail pre-built... Plus i didn't get minimal card low-end components or configuration i.e. memory they get in with 2 or 4 chips... Fast forward to now, the saving may or may not be there depending on the the parts used. The pre-built machines companies often get discounts we as end users would never see... But say i go or a top end latest and greatest machine now. The price may be hit or miss, and my 2nd to last machine built was more expensive then a prebuilt, ah but with quality parts, and the price difference was a few hundred, but with the best parts.. And my last machine was a few hundred cheaper. Just saying do you homework and price it all out. Nice thing letting someone else built it everything will probably be compatible, and now a days not so much of an issue as it was back when i build my first 386... Or (hopefully) depending on the components you get, do they user the m.2 drive slots correctly, some machines it might matter which slot(s) are used...
The lack of optimization on all levels of games now is driving me up the wall. I may be exaggerating. But if things keep going the way they are you will need 500 gigs of RAM, 250 gigs of VRAM, and a petabyte of storage just run games in ten years.
The performance dept heads of AMD and Nvidia have both said cas latency is more important for gaming than raw frequency speed
Generally speaking, yes. What I was talking about was the nature of Ryzen, wherein 1 to 1 memory synchronization, which is directly tied to memory frequency, can have more of an impact on performance than it does with Intel CPUs. I wasn't talking about the overall importance of frequency VS latency.
How about a 4080 super with a 1440p monitor i9 cpu 14th gen ?
As I mentioned in the CPU section, you don't need the i9 for that at all if the PC is just for gaming. The 14600K could handle that easily. The i9 would be a waste of money, use more power and create unnecessary heat.
as an Garuda Linux GE User I LOVE AMD
lol my motherboard cost like 600$ it was the auros master x eatx
so what motherboard would be perfect for streaming?
I would say just to be safe and cover all bases, get at least an ASUS rog strix z790-E or AMD equivalent...
It's not so much the motherboard that makes all the difference unless you have a lot of peripheral devices or have multiple pcie devices.
The CPU, GPU, and ram will matter the most for streaming.
That's going to depend on your budget for the overall system. You didn't even mention whether it's AMD or Intel.
I do want to note that @backbaysailor did a great job of recommending the exact motherboard I suggested avoiding for a gaming system in *this actual video* lmao. That board is well featured for a streaming system, but for about $150 - $200 more than boards with similar connectivity from other brands. It's an easy recommendation unless you do your research. From what I've seen in general, Gigabyte motherboards have more rear I/O in lower and mid-range price brackets for both AMD and Intel. MSI is also making improvements in that area VS previous generations. ASUS has the tendency to be stingy with rear I/O on their lower end boards, so unless you don't have another option or have a big budget, avoid them.
And to be clear, it is the motherboard that makes a difference for streaming systems, which I also mentioned in this video. Many streaming devices, especially external capture cards and audio interfaces, can be buggy when connected to a USB hub, which you will likely have to do if you pick a motherboard with 5 or 6 USB-A ports on the rear I/O. Since my videos reach a wide audience and many of them want to stream, I have to give advice that can cover all circumstances, including those who use many USB devices for streaming like I do. Better to have it and not need it, etc.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🤜🤛
Never mix intel procesor and amd board,
You physically can't mix the two, so it shouldn't be a problem.
SUPPORT WRESTLETALK!
...huh?
Your intro music is also used by a channel called WrestletalkNews, just an inside joke lol
I was looking to see if someone else had the same idea.
Why is this guy trying to sound like jays2 cent's be original bro your voice is fake.
Okay first, it's JayzTwoCents. Second, I don't think I've ever had someone accuse me of my *voice* being fake. What a weird thing to be upset about lmao
@@braethorn bro you talk just like him be yourself...be original. Is like all girls talking like the Kardashians shit annoying...be yourself bro be original. ..have charisma be funny stop trying to be some one... us viewers we see it .
