Brilliant video, very clear instructions and good advice. As a PC builder with 30 years of experience I would strongly suggest testing the components outside the case first. That way you don’t have the hassle of unbuilding the PC. Keep making great content! 😃👍
@@joeshmoewutdouknow Welcome to the world of PC building! Wifi capability/connectivity is mainly through the motherboard. If it has it, great. Once an OS is installed, it will detect it and allow you to join a Wifi network. If your motherboard doesn't have capability, you'll have to grab yourself a card or adapter to give your PC that capability. There are also handy USB adapters if you didn't want to install anything inside the case that are a cost effective way to enable a wifi connection to your new PC. Hope that helps!
Love this guy's build guide. Very simple and traight forward and explains things thoroughly enough for someone that knows nothing about PC parts, like myself!
Austin seriously makes great gaming pc builds for all types of gamers from budget builds to insanely powerful ones. These videos are great so you know what you should and shouldn’t do when it comes to building a pc
do you realize that this is the same guy who replaced a 2080ti with a 3060, and his excuse was the 3D printed case was too small but in reality he could’ve just made the case a tad bit bigger, thus severely downgrading someone else’s PC? Not to mention he used wood and janky solutions that could’ve been solved if he put a little more thought and time into it? It’s just lazy and disappointing to see someone as big of an influence as Austin cut corners.
I knew nothing about PC's, not how to build them, install drivers, I was completely blind. I watched this video at least 5 times before my parts arrived and all the way through while I was building it and I was able to get everything working first try. highly recommend this tutorial if you have zero knowledge of what you're doing. I also may or may not have binge-watched all Broke vs Pro videos waiting for my parts...
I’m buying my parts two every other week, so nervous for cable management and connecting everything, this actually helped a lot with understanding everything
I wanna build my own pc is everything he got in this build good bc in total it’s around 3k wonder if I can get better for just spending a lil more or less
@@trapaholic4133 I haven't watched the full video. I can't imagine him spending 3k on what I've seen so far. You can easily build a great PC now for $1k - $1.5k. And remember, with dlss and fsr you can go with a lower range GPU and get mid range performance, or a midrange GPU and get high range performance.
I always find myself watching these pc building tutorials even though I already know how to do so and have done so many times. Just interesting to watch them and see how they go about them. Different channels, different ways slightly. Plus fun to see what components they go for in their builds. Great tutorial. Hopefully it'll help a lot of people out.
@@bropacasaurus6624 this video literally walked you through it. I don't know anything about pc... I'm planning on buying a prebuilt but after watching this I literally feel like I could do it myself it looks so easy I more then likely will just build my own..
@@bropacasaurus6624 that’s why I have my friend he’s good at building and has a pretty good pc. I’m just a console person trying. To figure out what it all means lol
First time builder here, after watching about 10 other very long videos this is the first one where i feel like i actually know whats going on, and i can fill in the small gaps with the search bar! Thank you so much and take my subscribe!
This was the absolute most helpful video in regards to building a pc. I literally just got done building my first pc ever with the guidance of this video. Thank you for making such a thorough video on this entire process from start to finish.
Was it simple and all and with cable management? I just bought a second pre built by Cyberpower but I want to take it back and just build one so I can get the 3070 ti
same but i just bought a gt8800 and dell office pc with core i5 10th gen for gta v and roblox going pretty well rn was cheap to 27 dollars for the gt 8800 and 218 dollars for the pc and monitor you should do the same but buy a gt 730 its better than the gt 8800 thats gonna be my next gpu this year. have a nice day and i hope this helps.
A year and a half ago I built by first PC following the advice in another of Austin's videos. I fully recommend following this advice. The only things I'd like to add is 1) if you're going air cool only to get a case with a grated or open front to help with that airflow, and 2) any mention on the speed of RAM? The memory sticks usually ship running slowing than optimal. Since in the BIOS no mention about tweaking them to get your money's worth out of them? Great work. In-depth and covers nearly all that a first time builder needs!
I'm not building a PC right now; I'm just enjoying you being around while I do some things around the homestead. You're so easy to listen to, nice to look at and you're lots of fun! It's like you're talking to me and asking me questions too. "Push all the way down, okay"? "This is where the hot comes out". "See this"? I mean, since you're here, welcome to my living room; I'm glad you were hanging around today. I'm also glad you got your money back for those two CPUs. Did you just wait too long? I've been an eBay seller for 24 years and I think their buyer protection would have covered you outside of any return period. The seller would have known eBay sides with the buyer 98% of the time in general and 100% of the time when a buyer claims an item is not as described (even if it was). Anyway, drop by again sometime. I'll be around next Saturday; come on over and hang out some more!
I have been working on building my first pc for the whole day today (about 8 hours lol) and I gotta say, this video is extremely helpful. Would not have been able to do this without you. I am almost done with the build, I just have to plug in a few more things and cable manage, and as difficult as it has been, it has been extremely fun. I'll update this when the pc is built!
3 things I'd add: A) Since you mostly can't really pick your GPU, as Austin says you basically just get the one you are lucky to find: it will be the main driver of your chassis selection. You ain't gonna go mATX if you get a MSI SUPRIM 3080. B) Get a platform with a upgrade path. Also spec out for that future upgrade (esp Ryzen AM4); leave headroom for your PSU, and get 32 GB of RAM instead of 16. C) Forgetting to put on your I/O shield before MB install is a 1st timers rite of passage.
That's very specific to your interests and needs though and not really good general advice. There are no more upgrade paths for AM4 for example, 5800x3d is the last cpu for the platform, and 32GB isn't close to enough RAM for my needs. I also buy hardware based on form factor more often than I basing form factor on hardware. There's also plenty of people who replace entire pcs when they upgrade and use their old main machine as a 2nd system rather than just upgrading a component or 3. Additionally I've been working on pcs since before the x86 cpu even existed and I *still* dont use i/o shields. Not trying to be argumentative, but a person should work out what they want/need and foremost and buy based on that. That's the only all size fits one advice. It's ridiculous to buy based on what's available. A person will more often than not end up with a machine not as suited to what they need as it could be. About the only exception is if a person is just a gamer and just wants to squeeze out as much gaming performance as they can for a budget.
58:30 FYI Austin... you can absolutely plug the power switch and reset switch headers in backwards and they will work perfectly. They are just switches, and switches do NOT have polarity. LED's have polarity, motors have polarity, so fans and lights must be plugged in correctly, but the power and reset switches do not care.
I haven't built a PC since 2012, which is what I am using right now. I keep it up to date. I what to build a new 2022 Gaming PC and things have changed so much. This tutorial was so completely helpful. Thank you. Your style of teaching is amazing. I thought Radio Broadcasting at a college in Chicago for 10 years. You made this build look easy. I can't wait to get started after watching this tutorial. Thanks again.
I'm considering doing my first PC build. This video is already bookmarked. Thank you so much for the easy to understand step by step instructions. I'm a little more excited now about taking the plunge. Thank you, thank you!
I've been extremely hesitant with building my first PC so I never wanted to spend the money for it. But now, I feel like it's pretty straight forward. By far the most informative video about PC builds I found
I can honestly say that this is the first time I’ve watched a PC building guide that’s made me feel 100% confident that I could build a gaming PC on my own; so thank you x 100 Austin!
You can definitely do it. I started building PCs when I was 13, stopped for college, came back to it 5 years ago. The amount of extra help there is now with RUclips in particular really makes it so much more accessible than back then. When I started, I could build a working PC, but there was always something about the configuration that I would get wrong because I didn't have anybody in the know I could ask.

The first pc video I ever watched was your 2020 build guide. 13 yo me dreamed of having a rig of my own. I'm now 15 and I'm putting together my first gaming pc with a 12th gen i3 and a rtx 2060. Its funny how my journey of getting a pc has ended where it started. I wouldn't have this passion without you Austin. Thanks a million.
I am preparing for my first big build. I have seen many RUclips videos on the subject and this was by far the best. I will literally be playing this during the build. Thanks so much.
@@Emilym12345 thanks for asking! The build went great and, amazingly, no problems. I think what really helped was my choice of case - went with the Lian Li. There is a lot of space to work and many removable covers for access. I stayed with them for some other items to ensure compatibility. The biggest challenge was not the hardware but the software.
It's really suspicious to see their Microcenter having so many graphic cards in stock. Minnesota st.Louis microcenter has nothing.. I also noticed our Microcenter doesn't do MSRP on cards anymore and follows the same crazy price as eBay..
1. He films these before the store opens, meaning their stock is 100% up. 2. Its one of the California locations, a higher volume store because it brings in more revenue. If you shopped at a more popular store, you'd find graphics cards in stock as well
The Tustin branch in California has many cards in stock, But they are selling at overly inflated prices to keep it that way lol I visit there regular, Saw the RX 6800 XT in all it's shelf filled glory.. But then saw the price tags of 1350-1400 bux and slowly died inside.. 😄
Literally helped me so much, I bought all the same components as you, and you have helped me build my first ever gaming computer with no experience, I can not explain how grateful I am.
Just want to say thank you I've probably watched this video 20 times before I built my PC and finally after weeks of saving money and getting parts I now have a fully functional gaming PC
Really appreciate this video I've been wanting to build my own computer and I have zero experience. Just had a lot of good info for a newbie like me and gave me some confidence instead of buying a pre-built. Thanks again great content. And if anybody reading this that's not a newbie has any advice I will take it and appreciate it.
Definitely a great video to make every few years or so for new PC builders! Very detailed and explanation for all the components is crucial! Thanks Austin.
I used the last guide Austin made, easiest build of my life. I had never even heard of somethings he was talking about and now I have a great gpu, cpu, and computer thanks to him.
Just so ev1 knows. I finished watching this video. Ordered my parts and case. Parts and case arrived. Built my pc. Works perfectly. Note: I'm a console convert. I have never ever built a pc in my life. Prior to this video, I did not understand what 100% of yhe components are or what they do. This is how good Jeremey was in his explanation. Thank you
@@PalebloodSky I'm literally getting my shopping list done for it I'm going for a more power graphics card tho not sure which run it by a friend. Rakanelli has built this the original comment good luck
this is the 2nd best PC build guide I've seen. I'd also recommend the Linus tech tips guide for more details on picking the best possible PC components.
Great tutorial. I'm looking to get a new pc in the near-ish future, and although I'm not a complete n00b, the last time I did a PC build, the GTX 480 was the hot card, but that was a prebuilt that I configured. The last time I actually built one with my hands? GTX 295. So I'm way out of practice, and this is very helpful.
When I was younger I bought a gaming laptop from Dell. The screen had a bunch of dead pixels, so Dell sent someone out to replace the screen. He couldn’t get the plastic around the screen off easily and ended up slicing his finger wide open. He then bled all over the entire laptop. It was horrible
Oh yes, I've been waiting for this for some time!!! I especially love that you added a section for installing windows since that part was confusing me a lot
Thank you for making this tutorial video. For a beginner such as myself, this is very helpful in guiding me in on building my first gaming PC ever. Again, thanks a lot, Austin.
I dont own a pc or game with one or even plan to build one and i found this video very informative and interesting. It answered alot of questions iv had about computers. Thank you.
This is best explaining I’ve seen I’ve been so lost that I bought a pre built gaming pc works amazing and now I’m just trying to learn more and now I understand a lot more
While I really love this video I think it helps folks a lot , I wonder if you would do a step by step for beginners on once you switch on for the first time, the bios is sometimes the most confusing part and also the install of the op system I felt it was a bit rushed at the end . What seems very easy and second nature to you is not for most beginners, would really appreciate a video showing in detail the procedure. Have a new subscriber and thanks for the great content , I’m going to try to build one after seeing your video cheers from the uk
I agree. I have no clue how the hell to install windows and whatever was going on at the end of the video..that one part of the video steered me away from everything I just watched..
Something I feel like was missed at the component selection was more advice on picking Intel or AMD, what chipset your motherboard is (because this makes picking a board much easier if you’re shopping online as it rules out a lot of options,) a bit more explanation on ram speeds for AMD cpus (as it was touched lightly but no real explanation) and a bit more discussion on whether you want PCIE 4.0 or not. I say these things because it’s things I’ve had to try and figure out over the last week as I plan out my first build. :)
That's a whole video topic, if you are building a new system pcie 4.0 is a must now, and for ram speeds check the cpu web page, undervolting and overclocking is for advanced people and not first time builders. Ckeck forums for more helpful infos
1:01:20 better if you use the two pcie cables that came with the power supply and connect both to your GPU. If in some way you still want to use only one, please connect the 1st 6+2 to the 8pin first then connect the extension to the 6pin
I just built my first system and basically duplicated the specs in this and 2023's video. Amazing production, explanation, and banter Austin. You and Linus have been my rocks tech-wise since I was a kid and have DREAMED of building a PC like you guys since then. Thank you for the years of entertainment and knowledge gained.
awesome video man this is my second pc build in over like 5 years and it straight up gave me all the information I need to know for my brand new (modern) build. Thanks a-lot
32:32 if you look very close, there is a fan header, on the bottom left of the cooler. I assume that's the one meant for it. Something any new PC builder should look for. If your board has one there, it can help make it look cleaner when it comes to cable management. Sometimes it could make it worse though. Depends on what cooler and MotherBoard(MOBO) ya got.
Marty. how are you doing? I need help with my built. I did everything on the video however when i turn on the pc. the power button blinks and doesn’t display anything. the fans are all on. let me know if you can help me with this. thanks.
You should let people know that using a smaller capacity ssd like 256gb would save a lot of money and get the job done for OS at least. It's good to let newer builders know that they can have a drive just for processes.
@@martinkrebs6943 nice job. That's what I did when building my system. Next step would be to get a sata 1tb ssd for $90 and use that as a dedicated game drive. Games load up fast, windows loads fast, plenty of storage for videos and extra stuff
How to build a gaming PC in 2022: 1) Create a large youtube channel 2) Have Microcenter sponsor your build and stock the store for you 3) Pair an overpowered i7 with an overpriced 3060 (Yes, I see that $530 retail sticker) 4) Profit You do you, but I'm surprised at your case choice, given there are plenty of other options for cases with better airflow. Have a look at the 205 Mesh ;)
@@Victicat ive got big pockets, but, for sure i could hide it in my hoodie or so if i wanted. But I’d always buy stuff to not be a suspect if so needed
Notice how the better, more expensive cpus are in smaller packages that *could* easily fit in a pocket than the weaker, less expensive ones that cant? Pretty much puts paid to that wives tale ;)
Thank you Austin. I finished my fifth build this year because of this video. My system has a Ryzen 5 5600x, MSI B550 Gaming Plus. Coreliquid c240 AIO, Forge 100r Case, Optix G241vc Monitor, Teamgroup m.2 1TB, Seagate 4TB hdd, T-Force Vulcan z 16GB @3600 DDr4, XFX rx600 GPU and a Apevia 80/gold 850w PSU
Hey Austin! Good tutorial but a little unbalanced components. The 3060 would be more suited alongside a 5600x or a 12400f. With the 12700k you really should have suggested a 3070 or better. Also maybe include more of the why you choose the components you did, new builders would appreciate that guidance.
The SSD channel you install on can matter in two different scenarios (which both are more likely to impact lower end systems, but you could see it in top end stuff too). #1 - some channels might not be enabled in all configurations. My current motherboard for instance supports both gen 10 and gen 11 Intel CPUs. If you use a 10th gen though the CPU itself can't provide some of the IO support that 11th gen offers and besides some speed differences 2 of the SATA ports on my board are disabled (ok, they are not disabled, but you have to choose between using the SATA channels or one of the onboard MVe slots). #2 - some boards may have different devices share IO channels. This could be other SATA/MVe drives or it could even share resources with pcie devices. In a gaming rig it's unlikely you will have an issue unless you put the GPU in the wrong pcie slot. In a work station with more devices installed this might start to matter. In any case you should check out the specs for the motherboard and make sure the SATA port you use is enabled and not sharing resources with other stuff (unless the machine is loaded in which case you may have to decide which devices are sharing resources).
I’m guna build this exact pc over time as I’m a beginner and not loads of money so at least I can follow the step by step to the exact for my first ever build. Thankyou
Here is a interesting idea for a video. Not sure how much the PC/Tech channels know or speak with each other but, if you all could get into a chat and make a video just like this one but with the experience and ideas of all of you, and every single channel just made the exact same video and posted it will help a lot of people. Why do I think that will help? Well you know how the more you talk about something the more real and common knowledge it becomes EVEN if that information it's a lie, so why don't we bombard the internet with actual knowledge and facts instead of crappy content, useless information and lies about products or things.
Build this same computer using this video. ON the first turn on it woked great the bios screen came up, and was in the process of updating the BIOS and it looked like it was complete and turned off. Now when I turn it on nothing happens. Thoughts on fixes or next steps
Unplug the power cable, remove the CMOS battery (small round coin looking battery) and clear the CMOS. Check the motherboard manual for instructions on how to clear CMOs. Once that's done, put the battery back in and see if the systems boots up now.
Good video, clear and nice. As a professional PC builder with 50 years of experience I can safely say you should pick the outside components first. Other than that. Amazing!
Thank You... I appreciate the fact that you went into so much detail regarding the motherboard. I'm building my first Gaming PC, and you have helped me feel a bit more confident. My motherboard did not come with a manual or backplate. Luckily, I found the backplate on ebay. I also had to order the screws for the M.2 SSD Drives. And, my Power Supply did not have screws. So, it's been an interesting journey, but a fun learning experience.
Someday I will build my own pc, and I will my friend comeback to ur video looking for guidance. I have watched already without having any whatsoever component just cuz how entertaining u are and how much fun I can see u had doing de video. Thank you very much for making this, thanks to the cameraman for being so funny as well. I can tell this video took blood and sweat literally. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
How to build a gaming PC in 2022 : DONT I live by the Tustin Microcenter and its sad to see they only restock when RUclipsrs are scheduled to come in. Sucks im just a regular consumer, not a RUclipsr nor do I know anyone that works there. :(
After your explanation of pairing a GPU with a CPU, you end up going with a i7 & 3060? Just go with the i5. People are going to imitate you and use money for their build incorrectly.
Yeah, after his whole explanation I was expecting an i5, which is more than adequate to pair with a 3060. The moment I heard i7 I nearly got whiplash from my double take.
'cos everyone is exclusively a gamer and doesnt want the extra cores for other work too? My second system is a ryzen 9 3950x and that has a gtx 770. It's absolutely "correct" for its purpose.
Just my personal opinion, but unless there is a space constraint, I don't see the point of 240mm AIO as a good tower cooler will generally equal or out perform. And I'm not convinced that there is any point to AIOs unless you are running something that really can use the cooling, such as a 12/13900 or the AMD equivalent. Best case, an AIO will last 4-5 years before breaking in a way that doesn't leak, but leaves unable to use your PC until you replace it. Worst case, it leaks everywhere and ruins your PC. A tower cooler will never fail in a way that damages your PC or leaves you unable to power on and use your computer.

I've been an eBay seller for 24 years and I think their buyer protection would have covered you outside of any return period. The seller would have known eBay sides with the buyer 98% of the time in general and 100% of the time when a buyer claims an item is not as described (even if it was). Anyway, drop by again sometime. I'll be around next Saturday; come on over and hang out some more!
I have been working on building my first pc for the whole day today (about 8 hours lol) and I gotta say, this video is extremely helpful. Would not have been able to do this without you. I am almost done with the build, I just have to plug in a few more things and cable manage, and as difficult as it has been, it has been extremely fun. I'll update this when the pc is built!
hows the build going if i may ask
Finished. Everything booted up normally and I got windows running.
@@aperson4240 Good to hear, what are the specs?
@@epizofv ryzen 9 5900x, 32 gb 3600mhz ram, 1tb m.2 ssd, rtx 3080, and an msi x570s mobo
@@aperson4240 thx bro, im tryna build a pc for christmas but idrk wht parts to buy
3 things I'd add:
A) Since you mostly can't really pick your GPU, as Austin says you basically just get the one you are lucky to find: it will be the main driver of your chassis selection. You ain't gonna go mATX if you get a MSI SUPRIM 3080.
B) Get a platform with a upgrade path. Also spec out for that future upgrade (esp Ryzen AM4); leave headroom for your PSU, and get 32 GB of RAM instead of 16.
C) Forgetting to put on your I/O shield before MB install is a 1st timers rite of passage.
32gb is not really needed
@@joshuagaona1274 32 GB is definitely needed in todays environment.
That's very specific to your interests and needs though and not really good general advice. There are no more upgrade paths for AM4 for example, 5800x3d is the last cpu for the platform, and 32GB isn't close to enough RAM for my needs. I also buy hardware based on form factor more often than I basing form factor on hardware. There's also plenty of people who replace entire pcs when they upgrade and use their old main machine as a 2nd system rather than just upgrading a component or 3.
Additionally I've been working on pcs since before the x86 cpu even existed and I *still* dont use i/o shields.
Not trying to be argumentative, but a person should work out what they want/need and foremost and buy based on that. That's the only all size fits one advice. It's ridiculous to buy based on what's available. A person will more often than not end up with a machine not as suited to what they need as it could be.
About the only exception is if a person is just a gamer and just wants to squeeze out as much gaming performance as they can for a budget.
@@beezle1976 this is a gaming pc build, not a workstation
@@joshuagaona1274 still would be better to get 32 gb, workstations usually have 64 to 128 gb of ram anyways
58:30 FYI Austin... you can absolutely plug the power switch and reset switch headers in backwards and they will work perfectly.
They are just switches, and switches do NOT have polarity. LED's have polarity, motors have polarity, so fans and lights must be plugged in correctly, but the power and reset switches do not care.
I haven't built a PC since 2012, which is what I am using right now. I keep it up to date. I what to build a new 2022 Gaming PC and things have changed so much. This tutorial was so completely helpful. Thank you. Your style of teaching is amazing. I thought Radio Broadcasting at a college in Chicago for 10 years. You made this build look easy. I can't wait to get started after watching this tutorial. Thanks again.
👆👆Thanks for the feedback fan! ❤️Expect more videos soon💯 message me I have gift for you 📦。
I'm considering doing my first PC build. This video is already bookmarked. Thank you so much for the easy to understand step by step instructions. I'm a little more excited now about taking the plunge. Thank you, thank you!
I've been extremely hesitant with building my first PC so I never wanted to spend the money for it. But now, I feel like it's pretty straight forward. By far the most informative video about PC builds I found
I can honestly say that this is the first time I’ve watched a PC building guide that’s made me feel 100% confident that I could build a gaming PC on my own; so thank you x 100 Austin!
I started here, Linus and a smaller RUclips JoeyDelgado I still watch all them 2 years later
You can definitely do it. I started building PCs when I was 13, stopped for college, came back to it 5 years ago. The amount of extra help there is now with RUclips in particular really makes it so much more accessible than back then. When I started, I could build a working PC, but there was always something about the configuration that I would get wrong because I didn't have anybody in the know I could ask.
I built my PC by using your videos to help me build. Thank you so much for doing this! I love my PC!

@@Dannytriplet and what does all that cost
@@nene6370 i paid around $3K for my PC. The most expensive part is probably the graphics card and i got it at retail.
The first pc video I ever watched was your 2020 build guide. 13 yo me dreamed of having a rig of my own. I'm now 15 and I'm putting together my first gaming pc with a 12th gen i3 and a rtx 2060. Its funny how my journey of getting a pc has ended where it started. I wouldn't have this passion without you Austin. Thanks a million.
hey man i’m gonna say you may run into some problems with the i3 if wanted to run more performance needing games just from personal experience…
Amazing level of detail. Still valid in 2023.👏👏👏
I am preparing for my first big build. I have seen many RUclips videos on the subject and this was by far the best. I will literally be playing this during the build. Thanks so much.
How did it go??
@@Emilym12345 thanks for asking! The build went great and, amazingly, no problems. I think what really helped was my choice of case - went with the Lian Li. There is a lot of space to work and many removable covers for access. I stayed with them for some other items to ensure compatibility. The biggest challenge was not the hardware but the software.
The long awaited sequel we've all waited for
It's really suspicious to see their Microcenter having so many graphic cards in stock. Minnesota st.Louis microcenter has nothing.. I also noticed our Microcenter doesn't do MSRP on cards anymore and follows the same crazy price as eBay..
1. He films these before the store opens, meaning their stock is 100% up. 2. Its one of the California locations, a higher volume store because it brings in more revenue. If you shopped at a more popular store, you'd find graphics cards in stock as well
yeah microcenter are listing cards at scalper prices , video isnt realistic at all
The Tustin branch in California has many cards in stock, But they are selling at overly inflated prices to keep it that way lol I visit there regular, Saw the RX 6800 XT in all it's shelf filled glory.. But then saw the price tags of 1350-1400 bux and slowly died inside.. 😄
GPU mafia
My microcenter always has stock I was able to build my first build two days ago with a 3060
It’s amazing how Austin has the time to upload a video every week depending the time it takes to edit, build the pc, personal stuff, and ect!
with the amount earned from the videos, im sure he has no problem finding the time lol
And he probably pays editors
He actually locks ken in a closet and makes him edit 24/7 and only lets him out to do a video.
you havent seen how Linus manage his time yet...
Literally helped me so much, I bought all the same components as you, and you have helped me build my first ever gaming computer with no experience, I can not explain how grateful I am.
What games do you play? And does it run fast and look good with games.
How much did it all come out in the end with everything the same as him?
Why do people write posts like this saying how much they helped them but never answer questions to help others? 😅
dude i literally don't have any idea about computer parts but after watching i learned a lot
Why is it that every year of these kinds of videos Austin looks more and more insane
Thank you so so much! I wouldve been soo oevrwhelmed without this, couldn't have watched this enough times! Good stuff!
This is the absolute best build video I have ever watched. Thank you.
Just want to say thank you I've probably watched this video 20 times before I built my PC and finally after weeks of saving money and getting parts I now have a fully functional gaming PC
Really appreciate this video I've been wanting to build my own computer and I have zero experience. Just had a lot of good info for a newbie like me and gave me some confidence instead of buying a pre-built. Thanks again great content. And if anybody reading this that's not a newbie has any advice I will take it and appreciate it.

Definitely a great video to make every few years or so for new PC builders! Very detailed and explanation for all the components is crucial! Thanks Austin.
I used the last guide Austin made, easiest build of my life. I had never even heard of somethings he was talking about and now I have a great gpu, cpu, and computer thanks to him.
Hey man, typing this on the first PC I ever built and worked perfect first time thanks to this video. Don't get much better than this. Cheers dude
Best build tutorial that I've ever seen. Nice video!
Just so ev1 knows. I finished watching this video. Ordered my parts and case. Parts and case arrived. Built my pc. Works perfectly.
Note: I'm a console convert. I have never ever built a pc in my life. Prior to this video, I did not understand what 100% of yhe components are or what they do.
This is how good Jeremey was in his explanation.
Thank you
This is currently me lol
@@daniswift415 How is the PC in this video? I'm thinking about building this one as well and was wondering what performance you can get in games.
@@PalebloodSky I'm literally getting my shopping list done for it I'm going for a more power graphics card tho not sure which run it by a friend. Rakanelli has built this the original comment good luck
Not currently building a pc but this was just entertaining and informative to watch
Thank you so much for this video. My father and I were able to build my PC thanks to this video. You helped us out a ton!
this is the 2nd best PC build guide I've seen. I'd also recommend the Linus tech tips guide for more details on picking the best possible PC components.
Great tutorial. I'm looking to get a new pc in the near-ish future, and although I'm not a complete n00b, the last time I did a PC build, the GTX 480 was the hot card, but that was a prebuilt that I configured. The last time I actually built one with my hands? GTX 295. So I'm way out of practice, and this is very helpful.
My last build was when a 560Ti was the best card :D
When I was younger I bought a gaming laptop from Dell. The screen had a bunch of dead pixels, so Dell sent someone out to replace the screen. He couldn’t get the plastic around the screen off easily and ended up slicing his finger wide open. He then bled all over the entire laptop. It was horrible
RIP Finger and laptop
Omg xD good luck building a PC, overcome dat trauma
Jesus
Did they replace your laptop
Bro tmi
Oh yes, I've been waiting for this for some time!!! I especially love that you added a section for installing windows since that part was confusing me a lot
Thank you Austin this has really helped me on my journey to build a pc! God bless! 😀
I've never watched any RUclips video more than 20 minutes......here I am watching a PC build for an hour
Your ENERGY start to finish is astounding- bravo

Love this longer PC build video.
Absolute legends.
I dont own a pc or game with one or even plan to build one and i found this video very informative and interesting. It answered alot of questions iv had about computers. Thank you.
This is best explaining I’ve seen I’ve been so lost that I bought a pre built gaming pc works amazing and now I’m just trying to learn more and now I understand a lot more
Thanks to this video I've just finished successfully building my first ever pc build
Genuinely appreciate this as a novice who would like to one day build a pc
While I really love this video I think it helps folks a lot , I wonder if you would do a step by step for beginners on once you switch on for the first time, the bios is sometimes the most confusing part and also the install of the op system I felt it was a bit rushed at the end .
What seems very easy and second nature to you is not for most beginners, would really appreciate a video showing in detail the procedure.
Have a new subscriber and thanks for the great content , I’m going to try to build one after seeing your video cheers from the uk
Jayztwocents has one if you want to check his out
I agree. I have no clue how the hell to install windows and whatever was going on at the end of the video..that one part of the video steered me away from everything I just watched..
Thanks to you, I'm able to build my first gaming pc on my own. Clear instructions, easy to understand. Thumbs up for u 👍
Ayo same what GPU u using?
Thanks for this man, one year later and still completely relevant.
Super helpful video, very clear and good advice. Keep making great content!
Something I feel like was missed at the component selection was more advice on picking Intel or AMD, what chipset your motherboard is (because this makes picking a board much easier if you’re shopping online as it rules out a lot of options,) a bit more explanation on ram speeds for AMD cpus (as it was touched lightly but no real explanation) and a bit more discussion on whether you want PCIE 4.0 or not.
I say these things because it’s things I’ve had to try and figure out over the last week as I plan out my first build. :)
First we need to know your Budget?
That's a whole video topic, if you are building a new system pcie 4.0 is a must now, and for ram speeds check the cpu web page, undervolting and overclocking is for advanced people and not first time builders. Ckeck forums for more helpful infos
Just use Pcpartpicker.
Price/Performance winner is AMD in regards to CPUs.
I look forward to the pc building vids 🙏
Hi
I look forward to your funeral 🙏
@@agastyaparashar2941 lmao 😭😭
1:01:20 better if you use the two pcie cables that came with the power supply and connect both to your GPU. If in some way you still want to use only one, please connect the 1st 6+2 to the 8pin first then connect the extension to the 6pin
Bought my first gaming pc from a buddy in late 2021, but I’m going to try and build my new pc, already ordered everything! Wish me luck!
I just built my first system and basically duplicated the specs in this and 2023's video. Amazing production, explanation, and banter Austin. You and Linus have been my rocks tech-wise since I was a kid and have DREAMED of building a PC like you guys since then. Thank you for the years of entertainment and knowledge gained.
Which parts did you combine from this and 2023?
awesome video man this is my second pc build in over like 5 years and it straight up gave me all the information I need to know for my brand new (modern) build. Thanks a-lot
Great video for those new to pc building and experienced builders. It’s always good to refresh my knowledge
32:32 if you look very close, there is a fan header, on the bottom left of the cooler. I assume that's the one meant for it. Something any new PC builder should look for. If your board has one there, it can help make it look cleaner when it comes to cable management. Sometimes it could make it worse though. Depends on what cooler and MotherBoard(MOBO) ya got.
Marty. how are you doing? I need help with my built. I did everything on the video however when i turn on the pc. the power button blinks and doesn’t display anything. the fans are all on. let me know if you can help me with this. thanks.
This helped me a lot on my first pc, I came from the 2023 video and it helped so much. Thank you for these videos
BRO TYSM THAT HELPED ME SO MUCH, WITHOUT THIS VIDEO I WOULDNT KNOW HOW TO BUILD A PC
Perfect timing because I'm going to build my first ever pc in a few days and this will definitely help me
Same for me!

You should let people know that using a smaller capacity ssd like 256gb would save a lot of money and get the job done for OS at least. It's good to let newer builders know that they can have a drive just for processes.
dawg its like $20 extra to go for a 500gb and its much faster and lasts longer. 500gb is pretty much min for a new pc
@@kyletaylor6942 phew
I got a 500gb SSD for like the OS and programs and whatnot and a 2tb HDD for Bulk storage
@@martinkrebs6943 nice job. That's what I did when building my system. Next step would be to get a sata 1tb ssd for $90 and use that as a dedicated game drive. Games load up fast, windows loads fast, plenty of storage for videos and extra stuff
How to build a gaming PC in 2022:
1) Create a large youtube channel
2) Have Microcenter sponsor your build and stock the store for you
3) Pair an overpowered i7 with an overpriced 3060 (Yes, I see that $530 retail sticker)
4) Profit
You do you, but I'm surprised at your case choice, given there are plenty of other options for cases with better airflow. Have a look at the 205 Mesh ;)
Don't forget the 64GB of DDR5 ram when "16GB is ideal for 2022"
A i7 12700k is really not good choice for rtx3060 in my humble opinion
@@aminbagheri9044 if you play at 1080p, i7 is not midrange 3060 is.

Hey Austin! Good tutorial but a little unbalanced components. The 3060 would be more suited alongside a 5600x or a 12400f. With the 12700k you really should have suggested a 3070 or better. Also maybe include more of the why you choose the components you did, new builders would appreciate that guidance.
I love how Ken still hangs with Austin, even with all his spiderman money
Omg 😆
Spiderman money?
@@Chr15py just kidding that he looks like ned
The SSD channel you install on can matter in two different scenarios (which both are more likely to impact lower end systems, but you could see it in top end stuff too).
#1 - some channels might not be enabled in all configurations. My current motherboard for instance supports both gen 10 and gen 11 Intel CPUs. If you use a 10th gen though the CPU itself can't provide some of the IO support that 11th gen offers and besides some speed differences 2 of the SATA ports on my board are disabled (ok, they are not disabled, but you have to choose between using the SATA channels or one of the onboard MVe slots).
#2 - some boards may have different devices share IO channels. This could be other SATA/MVe drives or it could even share resources with pcie devices. In a gaming rig it's unlikely you will have an issue unless you put the GPU in the wrong pcie slot. In a work station with more devices installed this might start to matter.
In any case you should check out the specs for the motherboard and make sure the SATA port you use is enabled and not sharing resources with other stuff (unless the machine is loaded in which case you may have to decide which devices are sharing resources).
thank u now my pc is a superhero :DD
I’m guna build this exact pc over time as I’m a beginner and not loads of money so at least I can follow the step by step to the exact for my first ever build. Thankyou
Here is a interesting idea for a video.
Not sure how much the PC/Tech channels know or speak with each other but, if you all could get into a chat and make a video just like this one but with the experience and ideas of all of you, and every single channel just made the exact same video and posted it will help a lot of people.
Why do I think that will help? Well you know how the more you talk about something the more real and common knowledge it becomes EVEN if that information it's a lie, so why don't we bombard the internet with actual knowledge and facts instead of crappy content, useless information and lies about products or things.
37:27 noted. Some sacrificial blood is needed for the build.
Build this same computer using this video. ON the first turn on it woked great the bios screen came up, and was in the process of updating the BIOS and it looked like it was complete and turned off. Now when I turn it on nothing happens. Thoughts on fixes or next steps
Unplug the power cable, remove the CMOS battery (small round coin looking battery) and clear the CMOS. Check the motherboard manual for instructions on how to clear CMOs. Once that's done, put the battery back in and see if the systems boots up now.
Ok I got it fixed by flashing the bio with the correct update for i9... msi.rom file ...it is back up and running
@@JJFlores197 thank you man
This is my favorited PC building video in youtube! So this is a best video! Congratulations!
Good video, clear and nice. As a professional PC builder with 50 years of experience I can safely say you should pick the outside components first. Other than that. Amazing!
Austin never disappoints
I think it´s better an I5 with a 3060 TI, because the I7 with the 3060 it´s creating a bottleneck, maybe a 3070 with that CPU.
fr that's actually what I'm building right now
Having too small of a gpu is never the problem, it's when the cpu is too slow, the faster gpu will be bottlenecked.
@@skolvikings5263 Yeah. Is the other way around lol
Imagine there was a secret giveaway and I suddenly won a PC
Thank You...
I appreciate the fact that you went into so much detail regarding the motherboard.
I'm building my first Gaming PC, and you have helped me feel a bit more confident.
My motherboard did not come with a manual or backplate. Luckily, I found the backplate on ebay. I also had to order the screws for the M.2 SSD Drives.
And, my Power Supply did not have screws.
So, it's been an interesting journey, but a fun learning experience.
Someday I will build my own pc, and I will my friend comeback to ur video looking for guidance.

How to build a gaming PC in 2022 : DONT
I live by the Tustin Microcenter and its sad to see they only restock when RUclipsrs are scheduled to come in. Sucks im just a regular consumer, not a RUclipsr nor do I know anyone that works there. :(
After your explanation of pairing a GPU with a CPU, you end up going with a i7 & 3060?
Just go with the i5. People are going to imitate you and use money for their build incorrectly.
Yeah, after his whole explanation I was expecting an i5, which is more than adequate to pair with a 3060. The moment I heard i7 I nearly got whiplash from my double take.
'cos everyone is exclusively a gamer and doesnt want the extra cores for other work too?
My second system is a ryzen 9 3950x and that has a gtx 770. It's absolutely "correct" for its purpose.
Just my personal opinion, but unless there is a space constraint, I don't see the point of 240mm AIO as a good tower cooler will generally equal or out perform. And I'm not convinced that there is any point to AIOs unless you are running something that really can use the cooling, such as a 12/13900 or the AMD equivalent. Best case, an AIO will last 4-5 years before breaking in a way that doesn't leak, but leaves unable to use your PC until you replace it. Worst case, it leaks everywhere and ruins your PC. A tower cooler will never fail in a way that damages your PC or leaves you unable to power on and use your computer.
So incredibly useful!! i’m about to build my first computer ever and I was sooo nervous but with this I feel ready 😎
