Thanks for watching everyone! In case you missed it, this is Part 3 of a 4-part series, and Part 2 was the $900 budget build that covered a lot of the building basics: ruclips.net/video/vUu7N8tq4RE/видео.html
The parts I use in this video cost well over $3000, as many have pointed out, but that's the starting price range I think builds should be if they're going to use stuff like full RGB fan setups, high-end AIO liquid coolers, and $200+ cases.
Also, the description has been updated with the correct power supply and case. 🙏
meanwhile all the full rgb custom loop setups I see for a i5 12400 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Hope Part 4 goes up soon, seeing as I'll be using this video to set up my own 4090 strix 13900k build by this weekend 👀
Will you please mention how to set up undervolt on this cpu in part 4? I've read a lot about how you can go into bios and switch something so it's not always pushing it closer to 100c, and it doesn't seem to hurt performance much at all.
Thank you for letting me know about the rgb that requires a whole other components to make it change colour or pulse.
I wish the Micro Center near my house was a huge warehouse store like this. Ours is pretty small by comparison, always feels a little cramped. We used to have a Fry's near us that was cavernous and gave me that awesome "Oh, where should I look first?" feeling, but of course they've been gone for several years now.
I wish Phoenix had a Micro Center now that Fry's Electronics is gone. Micro Center, are you listening?
Right?! Bro it’s a friggin’ desert out here, of course we game!!!!
Same here in Western Washington since the Renton Fry's by Boeing field closed two years ago.
i told microcenter i would buy them pizza if we got one in vegas, we have no decent computer shops since fry's left :(
Same, don't have one here. I get so mad hearing like 90% of the channels telling me "Oh, remember to shop at microcenter!" Like, bruh 🥲
I think micro center should buy GameStop and turn a bunch of their retail outlets into mini microcenters. That would be cool
Can you please release part 4 with this build? I'm building nearly the exact same pc using this amazing tutorial.
Which bits do you need help with bud?
Hey Paul, thanks for your wonderful and re-fresher modern new PC builds. You're one of the few You-Tubers that keeps 100% focused on the basics of computer tech and genuinely pleasant to follow over the years! Well done, Paul! 👌
I always enjoy watching a build video. Hardware has changed enough in the past 5 or so years that this guide for a high end build actually contains some pretty useful information that could prevent someone from making a costly mistake. Good video
Paul, I tip my hat to you, sir. You explained how to build a pc from Start to Finish in such detailed manner. I even admire how you explained the different RGB headers on the MB. I can honestly appreciate a content creator such as you and much respect has been earned. Keep up the good work, M8👍🏽
glad someone noticed
I'd call myself an intermediate PC builder, I don't need these how-to videos. But I just love watching Paul explain stuff and put together a nice system. Cheers Paul!
I'm at 25 minutes currently, but I had to pause and prematurely thank you for making such a damn good video. Out of every other video I've been skimming through, you speak so well, and are easy to understand. This video is a gold mine for me. Thank you so much!
I appreciate that despite having done a few builds already, I always seem to learn something when watching these Paul.
I sometimes like watching the high-end builds just as much as the low-end ones. From what I've noticed, it seems like the GPU's are always set (usually whatever the most expensive AMD or Nvidia card is), but the CPU part is always interesting because everyone has different tastes. While usually more cores = better, sometimes people will build high-end 6-core builds because that's what they prefer, and they explain why.
Some day I wanna visit a Microcenter and build my own PC. Let's hope they expand into Arkansas soon!
Fellow Arkansan here. I second that!
6 cores for a high end build in 2023 seems so dumb
but thank God for options like the 5800x3D you can still pair that with any high end gpu at a great price and it still one of the best even with the 7800x3d as another option.
Step 1: acquire $3000
i wish this build was only 3k
If you can’t save up 3000 or make 3000 get a better job
@unknown222unknown it’s not only about making $3000 but also about being able to just spend them on a pc…
@@maxp.2978 why wouldn’t u be able to as a teenager unless your parents are taking your money
Best advise, do what I did buy one or 2 parts when you get paid and save up for the more expnsive ones, before you know it you’ll have a pc
I've used your videos to help me build a few pc's over the years. You are second to none!
Comprehensive, thorough, detailed and meticulously done ! Great job, Paul ! Great job ! Well done !!!
This is so crazy. I used your old new egg videos to help me build my first PC back in like 2016
same
Yep, this one was my go-to from way back when: ruclips.net/video/d_56kyib-Ls/видео.html
@@Gino_Valley SAME. That video is responsible for bringing me into computers. I wouldn't be here without it.
Thanks for Part 3. Building my PC was one thing and pretty easy. My most challenging task comes after I finish my build. I'm ready for part 4.
This is the video I have been looking for as I want to do an RGB build for the first time. Excellent video and thank you Paul for really explaining every step. Only cable not covered was the Audio connector :) but very thorough and having that removeable top panel to install the AIO is brilliant! Superbly done, thank you.
I used to build PC's years ago and I'm wanting to upgrade mine which I last built about 6 years ago and is out of date and a bit slow. I've just watched this to give me a refresher and it has helped a lot so thank you! Really good video and explanation of everything is concise and is exactly how I remember! 👍👍
This would be really good for a beginner to follow, new subscriber here!!
This was the one I’ve been waiting for. Thank you this is fantastic. Much appreciated.
Never gets old.
Thanks Paul.
Really excited for the setup video, I’ve finished building my first ever PC from using this series of videos but have already run into issues with my RAM being unstable with XMP and I didn’t know why. Updated my bios and all good now, but I’m sure there’s plenty I’ve missed! Also interested in knowing what tests I should be running to stress the system and see if it’s all working properly
The background music that you choose for your videos is always chill and that makes your videos "excellent."
Your the best Paul, you helped me with my first build 5 years ago and now Im upgrading my PC setup looking for a little refresher
Can't Wait to see Part 4 and all your setup tricks.
A huge thank you to mico centre Paul and Joe as always 👏👏⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent Guide Paul. I shall head out right now and build the aforementioned $AUD 4,500 PC post haste... As soon as I save up for it, so hopefully some time around 2030.
Great tutorial Paul! Although not in the market for a high end build, the information in this video is just priceless for an enthusiast or noob alike.
The part of storage was gold! As a beginner, even after a lot of building tutorials, I didn't even know this stuff. Now I'm aware where to pay attention to!
Excellent video mate. Looking forward to part 4.
built my first pc 7 years ago and this video was a great refresher, thank
Paul, this is thee video series I needed. Brilliant stuff, my man, thank you!
Truly excelllent build Paul. Thorough detail in the components, and the why. I went to the Torrence Micro Center and you're right, it is an awesome store.
I appreciate a build guide including BOTH Team blue and red, thank you. Each has their own pro's and cons.
Thank you Paul, for all the info and the lovely build.
Thank you for this video series Paul! Great stuff
Wanted to say, that particular case comes with an anti sag gpu bracket that attaches to the motherboard out of sight (we have ours on the outermost standoffs to the right (it comes with spacers). The gpu also comes with one, but it would probably be in sight, near the case glass.
great video, Paul!
This tutorial is simply excellent ! Thank you Paul !
I would love to see a comprehensive tutorial on water cooling. Great job Paul. I actually used your tutorials to build my first pc. Now I want water cool it all. Thanks
This video came at a great time considering we have VERY SIMILAR parts without even knowing it. Thanks for the great content!
best PC build channel I have come across so far, thank you
When is part 4 coming out? 😊
Thank you for this video. You explained everything thoroughly and it was extremely helpful!
Thank you very much Paul for the information.
Thank you, great video. Your detailed small steps are wonderful for beginners like me!
A Great video to archive for future builds.
Great vid…newbies take notes, and it is a good refresher for prior builders!
You the man Paul! Thank you sir.
thanks Paul. when I decide build a new deep learning system. I think I should look for your video. the best one in you tube. thanks from a coworker!
Extremely helpful tutorial, thank you for your dedication!! Now I can finally understand the concepts behind building my own gaming PC :)
(I was so stressed out with all the "tutorials" that don´t actually explain anything)
thanks for giuding for ssd slots for searching that ! Helped me very much !
Thanks for this video. Looking forward to part 4. Hopefully it's released soon.
Awesome work as usual Paul!
@Paul.
Awesome video, I am going to use it to help with my build at the weekend.
*But where is part 4 please?*
Thanks. 💯
That was the best ever thermal paste apply way , chapeau bas 😊😊😊😊
Micro center is a staple of PC enthusiast culture. Been going since I was but a wee lad
Thank you! That was very helpful getting me caught up on a modern build. Its been a few years.
i love Micro Center thanks👍
Another awesome video.. thank you Paul!
Thanks! Very timely for me since I will be building a new PC.
My dream setup! Micro Center is opening a store here in Indianapolis in a few months and I'm hoping to get these exact parts. Now I have a guide to walk me through it!
this is the best tutorial. I've seen plenty. ty
One of the coolest looking builds ive seen in awhile🍻
Thanks for another Awesome Video Paul!!!!
Great video, looking forward to part 4.
great show very nice build thank you on too part 4
Love this case! I can't say enough good things about it!
Thanks for this level of quality content !
Very helpful. Thank you for making this video
Best step-by-step so far 😊
Love this guy channel
Awesome PC! W Micro Center!
i am using the same mother board and CPU, so this has been really helpful. i only have a few pieces so far, i am excited to get started
Proper PC build video
Yesssss thankyouuuuu!!!!! This series has been a god send! I got my gpu finally but now i have to think if i want to do a high end am5 setup since i can afford it and to use microcenter newr me for some more common parts cause its great! I finally have the funds and now want to get the best x3d system for my 7900xt to get me perfect 1440p gmaing but also chance for 4k later after its widly adopted but it's m also a nut and enthusiest and cant wait to see what options i can get myself to even potentially get oc options for even more fun and benchtest pushing!!!!!
That’s a mean computer man! Great work.
Very nice guide! This will help alot when i plan to build my own PC :)
Dude this is a bad ass build. Very cool video!!
Thanks I’m suing this for my 7900XT build
Thank you!
Love this build video. subscribed!
I LOVE MICRO CENTER 🔥
I love micro center. I’m so lucky to live 20 minutes from one
Great content👌
Been following since the newegg days. You're vids are crazy informative and to the point. Keep it up man. (also that AIO bracket mmm yes, looks like its time for a new case.)
Love watching a good build video, hoping to one day build myself a high end!!!
Thank you for going over the manual. I used the M.2_1 slot for my OS on my z690-E build over a year ago. I’m going to fix that right now.
I love Micro Center. My last three builds parts all came from Micro Center in Brentwood MO
Great vid, i really enjoyed the breakdown of installing m.2 drives in the optimal slots and the detailed information you provided about direct cpu connected drives vs drives going through the chipset.
Excellent!
Very awesome video. Thanks.
I am so jealous. The two nearest Micro Centers to me are in Chicago and near Minneapolis, both over 5 hour drives. The "Shippable Items" selection sucks because there isn't much of a product selection.
Stoked to see a build in this case, as I bought it and it's sitting in my closet til I finish buying my components.
Can't wait for part 4, I'm going to be building a new am5 system in the next week or so. I'm pretty comfortable with the building itself, but I'm not too hot on expo, motherboard settings and the like.
Great video can't wait to build my first pc in the second half of the year
THAT is a beautiful case! 😁
Great video!!!! I will be on pins and needles waiting for the next part!!!! First boot and set-up in bios is always the thing I spend a LOT of time on getting it JUUUUUUSSSST right!!! *** I've just seen this video is 5 months old and part 4 is ALREADY available!!! YEA!!!!! ***
Good build, using some of the same parts in my new build.
Dear Microcenter, in the Pacific Northwest the closest store is almost 18 hours away, for me, in Tustin. A store right between Seattle and Portland could be about an hour and a half from each big city. Or maybe you could be an hour south of Seattle, which is 2 hours north of Portland, oh I don't know maybe is the south end of Puget sound area.
My son just finished the build last night, with one small problem: CPU overheating and shutting down the system. AIO seemed to be the culprit. I stayed up checking every connection and tightened up the pump block screws (not to overtighten mind you). We got it to POST with no errors and it is sitting in setup at about 43 degrees. Awaiting his return from 8th grade school trip to DC and Paul’s return so we can finish installing everything. Yes, I could do it while my son is away, but I might learn something from Paul and my son can learn too.
Thank you Paul.
These comments make me scared to build my own PC. I'm worried I'll get thousands of dollars into the build then have these types of issues.
@@HealthySkepticism1775 I think your fear is valid, but really, there is nothing to worry about. Just do it. You will feel a great sense of accomplishment and get the parts you want. Run into any issues and you have a great community to help out. He is very happy with his system.
I've been watching this channel - off and on, admittedly - since the first How-to series in 2020. As with the first series, this one has been very informative... and even relaxing. Hmm.
