      You should definitely follow the Verge build, because putting one RAM stick in A2 slot and the other in B2 slot is proven best practice. And also definitely listen to him when he said that you can just put the graphics card in whichever slot you think looks nicest, because 8x vs 16x is overrated anyways. Oh and ALWAYS wait to put your CPU in last when you have the least amount of free space, because making sure you put it in the right way is also overrated. Oh yeah, and you should definitely spend 2000$ on a PC build and then consider upgrading to RTX cards right afterwords. Truer words have never been spoken since Toms hardware said JUST BUY IT! And make sure you buy one of he's wireless anti-static wrist bands, have to get me one of those!

      Verge says dope and they start filming after spending 2K (!) on all of the parts.
      The video is a flop. Now of course the staff member who promised the Verge that he knows and that made them spend 2K on a build won't apologize online. He has to defend his job, so obviously he says he's right and we are wrong. His reputation among the people around him would have been much worse had he apologized.

      @PorgMcNuggets To be honest, all that hair and lint will increase your thermals. You should probably put liquid metal on the ram to keep it cool. If you're on a budget regular thermal paste will work but won't look as cool.

    I am thankful for this video, currently in my first PC build and I have done my fair share of research with a ton of forums saying how easy it is to ruin your expensive components, but it's nice to see that if I am cautious it "should" more than likely turn ON, because I absolutely would not do these practices in the video.

    I just ordered my computer parts last night and will start building it by weekend. I was kinda nervous of building it because it’s my first building a computer. So watching this videos made me ease up. Thanks Jay!

      Starubikal there is a sense of pride and accomplishment that’s difficult to explain when you finish your first build. Just being able to sit back and watch it post for the first time, and saying to yourself, “I made this work.” It’s incredible.

      The worst thing that will happen if you get faulty components is that you have to wait a little longer. I agree with Ben, watching your PC boot into it's OS for the first time is a fantastic feeling. Let us know how it goes!

      Starubikal just built my friend his computer, it’s nothing to be afraid of, in fact, I usually get nervous at the start of the build and at the moment before you start it up, the rest of the time is really relaxing.

      I don't think they did. If they had the Verge wouldn't have messed up so terribly. This video repeatedly said *don't* do this.
      Actually the folks over at the Verge probably don't speak English very well so I've changed my mind. I don't think they followed it, I *KNOW* they did!

  • @i2nupman
    @i2nupman 6 лет назад +26

    One "don't do!" that you missed is "Don't clean components with an air compressor!" I've been doing that for 30 years and haven't lost a part yet.

    • @Redbikemaster
      @Redbikemaster 6 лет назад +2

      i2nupman when I was 14 building a pc out of scrap parts i used canned air to spin one fan really fast because I was bored. It's the only fan from my original build that still works.

    • @outsidethebox262
      @outsidethebox262 6 лет назад

      Just don't hold your fan funny while blowing ... I did that to a stupid fan once, the bearing got tilted and it created some crazy noise that I had to replace the fan.

    • @TH3BR1CKWALL

      Ive heard not to use a vacuum cleaner to clean parts. dont know why? if shouldnt matter which way the air is travelling as long as the dust is removed.

    • @W4rn1ngy0u
      @W4rn1ngy0u 6 лет назад

      Vacuum cleaner can create static electricity, that's why.

      I was going to throw this out there too. You see this more in data centers, typically not consumer hardware. If someone builds a system that is pulling 1600watts I would also hope they are plugged into a 20A circuit or dedicated 15A.
