As a PC builder for over 20 years Gem, I want to congratulate you on you're build 😊 You did an exceptional job.
*your
facts and for a first time build her cable management wasnt terrible. hell its batter than mine in my build😂😂
@@fawn2911 doesn’t matter, you know what they meant
Way better than average. She actually paid attention to all the steps and even showed peeling the protective film from the cooler.
Awesome job for a first build.
wow congratulations you've played with legos for over 20 years
This was actually surprisingly fun to watch!
I didn’t realize the true scale of that pc case until you set the monitor next to it
Builder in Minecraft, A builder in real life ❤
There’s even Lego in the background, a true builder of things
Someones going to find her on a construction site
I know! She should have given it some kind of medieval roof. Maybe Nerdforge should get involved.
Woah this got many likes
700th like 😅
You did amazing - None of the "mistakes" you made are anything seasoned builders wouldn't do by accident on occasion. (Though I'd definitely get that fan wire that clipped into the top fan on the first power on sorted asap)
One thing you could do is take the glass side panel down to a printer, and have them apply some decorative vinyl art on it. You can get material that looks like it's been etched into the glass that looks gorgeous when lit up. :)
Ooh... decorative vinyl is a good tip. It would definitely help make a build feel more personalized. I think I need to go see if I can find something that looks like stained glass
*insert "Impulse will watch gem build a PC" sign
Perfect
I watched Gem build a PC
@@impulseSV We are proud of you.
@@impulseSVlol
Lol I was just about to say that
As a mum... THANK YOU! My son got to see someone working and trying and not focusing on being all that. You inspired him to try and do and learn as you go a bit. You are all kinds of amazing. You help kids to know it okay to not have it "all-together" before you try and that mistakes are okay . Side note you also did very well building your PC (lesson for son: it can still work out when you try). Thank you for being an example to the kids around the world.
SLAYYY
Great work Gem :) 1st PC is always the scariest but knowing how to fix and replace parts is worth the trouble and the next one you build will be even more satisfying.
Gem is great! You're one of the only people who could make a video like this enjoyable rather than anxiety-inducing for me; your voice and attitude are so calming.
You did a great job. The fact you started on the motherboard box shows you did great research 🙂 Also static isn't too dangerous now. High end conponents especially have protections in place. You would've need ALOT of static and ALOT of bad luck for something to happens.
Don't encourage people to ignore static. There's no guarantee that a CPU could survive a shock of 10kV+. And I have never seen a CPU advertised as being immune to electric shock. Putting a protection circuit is a waste of die space. Prove me wrong... I haven't upgraded my pc significantly in 5 years.
Ive watched with horror as a little blue spark went from my finger to a now fried CPU. Even with protection a $2 esd wrist strap is always cheaper than replacing the nice new cpu you just bought
@@DIYToPen I think watching Electroboom and LTT video where they stress test a bunch of electronics is a great exemple of how bad things need to go to have a problem. I've seen wild claims like not wearing socks because they could fry some conponents.
Don't touch the contacts and touch the case/psu box to discharge your static if you have some and you should be fine.
True about the static but always better to be safe
ALWAYS discharge any static you may have built up before touching the components.
Gem, you did a fantastic job building the PC, especially for someone that hasn't done it before. Super fun video to watch, MSI is amazing as well, I use a lot of their products myself! Can't wait to see more streams and videos recorded from this PC!
Omg I've been a member almost a year now too! xD
Excellent! Keeping the GPU in its silver bag was a great idea, that protects it from static. In the future, if you're worried about static, there are little wristbands you can buy that either plug into the wall, or clip to the case to add some security. Love PC part picker. Well done!
I didn't have that when building my PC, so I resorted to running around without socks on and occasionally hugging the radiator to ground myself XD
@@dzioooooRubbing your hands on the radiator to ground yourself is something I've always done in all my years of building PC's XD
I never knew how PC's were built, this is so cool!❤
You did great Gem!!❤
Gem with the create mod but IRL!! So excited to watch this one million times
Awesome build! I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the 4090 12 pin cable has been somewhat infamous the past year for being a potential fire hazard (the worst I've seen is some melted plastic). It should be fine as long as you make sure it's fully plugged in without being twisted too much to either side (as long as you can't see any of the pins on the cable, you'll be fine).
Overall you're probably unlikely to be affected but it might be worth watching a video or 2 just to make sure!
Thank you for pointing that out! My boss got a new 4090 just last week for AI training. None of us had a lot of experience building PCs (read: almost none). It's working fine, but I'm definitly going to check that cable again! :)
@@Kirmeins There are 90 degree adapters that should prevent the pins from being pulled out and therefore the connector melting entirely. CableMod makes a very good and pretty one. It is also not as expensive as other CableMod products tend to be.
@@Kirmeins@Retroxyl just be aware of you went with the cablemod option there was a recall
Also on the subject of potential hardware issues, the 13900k is the probably the biggest victim of the degradation issues Intel has been having with their CPUs the past few years, so undervolting and the bios microcode update later this month will absolutely need to be applied to help with longevity of this pc.
Gem this is amazing! So proud of how far you have come and how lucky you are to get free parts :)!!
This build was such a relaxing, chilling and satusfying thing to watch!
I built 3 of my own PC's and each time it was still a scary process but very enjoyable! You did a fantastic job!
Hi Shadow!
I am honestly impressed you managed to get shots of you plugging in some of the cables where... honestly, even without a camera it's hard to reach some places and plug in the cables. Also, the cables _behind_ the motherboard being a mess is completely fine.
You're always utterly adorable in every video but this one was especially precious! You did a fantastic job. I'm very impressed & inspired to build my own PC. Also, just want to mention that I appreciate your manicure. Your hands were looking READY for their close-up shots! 💅
Awesome job at building your new PC. As someone who only builds one every few years, the biggest thing I always forget and want to let you know is to make sure you turn on the XMP profile in your BIOS to get the most out of your RAM. On most boards its off by default and throttles the RAM speeds.
I second this! Especially important as she's using DDR5 ram which is likely capable of running at 6000MHz looking at the packaging but by default would likely only be running at maybe 3000MHz? (I'm not too familiar with the non-xmp speed of DDR5 RAM as I haven't got any experience with it)
As someone who has no idea about PCs, you speak funny words magic man (or however that sentence went)
@@nikk-named I like your funny words magic man 😂, basically pc faster when XMP is turned on
@@xanpagebrown (with crying eyes): what's an XMP!? •,~•,
@nikk-named it's short for Extreme Memory Profile.
PC building is a bit more complicated than LEGO, and yet even simpler.
Having the right parts makes it fairly obvious what goes where since most connectors and sockets are coded to fit only the right place.
Still plenty of room for mistakes. Great job getting it right first time (except for the cable adjustments) - the apple has not fallen far from the tree trunk.
Good luck with that monster PC.
Solid 10/10 effort there! Don't worry about the cables, trying to make fan cables look tidy is like trying to throw a dart in a dart board, with your eyes shut, with a wall between you and the board. Everything else, spot on. Well done on the ram sticks going in the correct slots for dual channel memory, that's usually a tripping point. 100/10 for the asmr peel on the motherboard too.
Congratulations, Gem! This took me back to the few times I've built my own desktop PC's. I felt all the anxiety and terror over again, and all the joy and excitement seeing it work in the end. I hope you and your PC have many happy years together!
The fact that when u watch someone build and think "oh yeah! that's easy u just put it there end that there" but when u actually build it yourself the feeling that says "EVERTTHING'S FALLING APART!!"
Nice pc love your builds 👍🏼
Good job on the build! Just some a small tip for next time: A lot of the parts of the case are removeable. You can strip it all down to the chassis if you wanted to. It looked like the doors were bothersome while you were building.
GeminiSlay just casually flexing her PC building skills
Congrats on the new pc. I chuckled when you compared it to Lego. That what I tell my friends it like. Nowadays, it's just really expensive lego. You did so many thing properly building it I was actually quite impressed. Great job and enjoy that new PC!
Firstly, I want to say that I've built PCs for over 10 years and, for a first-timer, you did great. You avoided some things that first-timers do (most people would try to wire everything up after installing the CPU cooler and/or GPU, which just makes things a bit more of a pain). Overall, I'm impressed.
Now, I don't tend to comment or even log in to RUclips, but I've watched you for years (admittedly logged out of RUclips) and wanted to give one suggestion: To check that the Graphics Card power cable is fully plugged into the 4090, and that you don't put much strain on the plug with your cable routing. Even if it looks plugged in, make sure the securing tab is fully locked. You may have done that off camera, but I wanted to comment in case you haven't since it can cause some fairly expensive issues down the road (not to alarm or scare you, like I said you did a good job on everything shown).
Gem, you never cease to amaze me. Excellent build!
Can we talk about how cute this room is??? Omg
So fun to watch! thx for being real! And you are not alone with ur cablemanagement
Great job Gem. Hoping we can now get loads of Minecraft/Hermitcraft videos from you. Can never have enough GeminiTay!
I thoroughly enjoyed the build, and you've done an excellent job! Congratulations on your brand-new gaming PC. ❤
She can build in both worlds!😊
You deserve a round of applause for how gently and gracefully you handled everything
But seeing that motherboard, …I'm just glad you didn't have to pay for it.
YOOOOO sick build, Gem!! hopefully i can build my own as well this year 😭🫶
She's just the best. I bet it'd be so much fun to build a garden with her. What a person. Respect.
Good to see a new PC Builder enjoying their journey through building their First PC. Always daunting at first but I can say with experience and knowledge comes greater rewards in knowing you can accomplish something that not all have the capacity to do.
I just got a setup today! Finished setting it up so excited it’s so fast
congrats on the new build, 1 point to note is that the way you installed your radiator fans (on the liquid cooler) makes it so it draws air in from the top, while not wrong, generally most people opt to flip them around (with the logo of the fan facing the radiator) so it blows out of the top of your case, again its not wrong the way you mounted them, but for overall thermals in your case you might want to go in and flip them.
also a step a lot of new pc builders miss is once your build is done, go into the bios and enable XMP to make sure your RAM runs at its advertised speed
Air is usually drawn from the logo side (open face) to the grille side though. The way Gem has installed them they're pulling air from inside the case and blowing through the radiator and out.
Wow, this takes me back. Years ago we always built our pc’s, spending months carefully picking parts, getting the best prices. Welldone you!
Gem, you did a great job. I really like it that you tried it yourself even without any previous knowledge. And the way you put this video together - I really like it. No real cringe moments at all (maybe a little bit at the wiring :D). It was fun to watch and a great video to encourage others to build their own machines.
One of the biggest things I like about you, is you are so calm about things. It is an absolute joy to watch a video from you, regardless of what it is.
God I wanna build a new PC, partially for Minecraft ;-P. But I appreciate watching you do this for your first time. I've been building my own and modding mine since I was a kid, but haven't done a 100% new build since 2006 or 2007. I'm enjoying watching you through the process. Also good choice of Mii music lmao.
Ooh! Another _Rig of Theseus_ owner! Mine started its life with a Phenom II but got a huge upgrade last year when the GPU market crashed. I'm 💯 planning on passing the chassis (HAF 932) down to my grandkids one day.
This was super fun to watch. Building a PC from the ground up is both stressful and rewarding.
The cool thing about playing less hardware intense games like Minecraft on truly powerful hardware is a great idea. The parts should last years to come and games should run very smoothly.
great work Gem. Looks like you have been doing it for awhile. You have a good teacher looks like
Former PC tech here. You did a great job! Your cable management is pretty good, running all them through the back where they won’t block airflow makes it 1000% easier. Fan orientation appears correct, too.
The biggest mistake I spotted was popping the motherboard into the case too early, looks like you popped it back out to put the cooler on. It’s also handy to do a bench test where you power it up with the mobo out of the case, as this makes diagnostics easier. Not a big issue, at all.
Interesting. With chonky AIOs like that one, you don't recommend mounting the radiator before mounting the block on the CPU?
That would depend on the case. Lower-end, budget case would require you to install the cooler first (although, in the past few years, manufacturers have been implementing it in their lower-end design, but they often too small to be helpful); however, the Corsair iCue 7000x is an enthusiast, high-end case that have a big hole at the CPU location where you fit in the mounting bracket. You don't see it as it's being covered by a plate holding the fan / lighting iCue controller.
But yeah. if possible, I personally like building my PC outside of the case first, as it does make the initial diagnostic phase easier. But again, that would be depended on the overall components of the build. In Gem's case, due to the cooler (as installing a mobo with that AIO would be a pain), installing the mobo with only two screws first is probably what I would do for testing though.
Was a blast seeing your platform get built. Please continue this trend as you upgrade.
Good on ya..
They can seem daunting, but once you've built one or two, you'll be able to build them in your sleep.
Making a clone (system disk image) & using the old OS can save time..
Case looks bling bling
Thanks
Lukewarm take: a fresh install (with your old OS and software settings accessible on a backup drive) gives you a great chance to _kon mari_ your software setup.
Given how fast it is to download and install software these days, you end up with a much cleaner system just installing what you need, right before you need it, rather than carrying around random software you installed six years ago that you haven't used since.
Also: I'm a firm believer that your documents (and videos, music, etc.) should *never* be on the same partition as your OS (and anything important should be backed up using 3-2-1).
My biggest advice is that you should enjoy what you have and not worry about buyer's remorse. This is a huge problem in building PC's because there is always something better than what you have and usually at a better discount if you had only waited a few months or so. But as long as the parts you have run what you need to do then enjoy it. An don't fall into the trap of future proofing. That's one of the biggest scams in the tech industry. Congrats on the new pc!
GEM IS GREAT! You are amazing, funny, talented! Don't let anyone tell you down for "just playing minecraft". They have no idea how AWESOME you are. Keep up the good work, enjoy your new computer and I wish you hours and hours of fun in Decked Out :)
You have so much respect from me for undertaking this. I'm a technician who has built a couple of PCs and your hard work is really heart warming. Absolutely made me smile. Good job dudette!
Such a cool pc gem! Congrats!
Awesome video Gem! I haven't really been keeping up to speed with gaming tech, and it caught me a little off guard to see how small some of the extremely advanced parts were, especially the CPU. Just goes to show how fast tech is progressing!! Hope everyone is having a great day :D
The CPU is actually about the same size, everything else has gotten massive
You did an amazing job!! I’ve rebuilt a few and changed out components. And it runs so it’s all good!!
Watching this video brings back the flashbacks from when I built my PC with my dad about a year ago. I may not be a PC expert, but I do know that that is a powerful PC and that that's gonna serve many years!
I love GeminiTay she always cheers up my day❤
I built my own PC last year, and u made me remember everything I felt at the moment, the anxiety, the nerves. Cool to see u holding on ur own, u look like a pro.
I love the fact that Gem is almost always wearing a hat in her videos! It’s so cute ❤
Also, if you see this Gem congrats on building the PC!! I wouldn’t have had a clue where to start. 🤣
Thank you!!!
Hat helps the curly hair, I started each day without and then as my hair got more insane I threw on a hat 😂
I must agree even though it feels awkward, the beanie is adorable 😂
4:30 NOOOO!
As a long-time PC builder, I can tell you the peels are The Most Important Part Of The Build! Unless you are installing somethig that will block the peel, you save it till LAST! That's just bad luck! I'm dying here!
As usual, such a cute video! Nothing makes a person feel as smart as building a PC, and I'll admit your cable management is far better than mine. I just shove the cables in trusting the back panel will hide them. I'm also in the middle of a build but I was going to transfer more of my old parts to the new computer. I think you convinced me to just get a better processor. Great build, overall!
Cool pc gem! More troubleshooting headaches to come!
As someone who has been building P.C's for 40 years it was a decent attempt. I would not have used those parts, but if you got them for free from sponsors, all good.
Scary thing is you did not ground yourself which proves you are a lucky person that you did not damage your components.
Spend money on a good chair, your body will thank you for it. Next time, use pro imaging software to save you all the hassle of a complete software reinstall.
I've killed a motherboard once because I didn't use motherboard standoffs and it shorted out. I didn't see you use them (you might have, though). Just thought I would recommend them just in case. They give you a little more room between the motherboard and the case.
This size of that monitor next to the tower..... Spit take!!! hilarious! Good job!
Amazing work! This is very inspiring, I ended up getting my partner to put my pc together as I was too scared. Maybe next time I’ll give it a try 😅
It's so nice to see that you clearly did research and look up how to build a PC / remembered from the build with your dad. I have seen so messy stuff, and this was one of the cleanest "first pc builds" ever.
Omg! You rock at this! I love your set up❤
The cpu packaging represents a waifer. The silicon they fabricate to then cut out individual cpu's. Pretty cool indeed.
I love getting to see you making your new PC. It is great that you can put it together like that. Great job. I love getting to see you in both Minecraft & love your builds & seeing you on Stardew Valley. It is thanks to you that I am playing Stardew Valley. I hope to see you also play Stardew Expanded some day to. I just wish that when I added the Expanded it had not changed the first worlds I had. I was crazy at first. I have got a new PC this year to only not as grand as your new one is. My grand son told me when I was going to get it that I should get the same gaming PC he has & I did. lol Good luck with using your new PC. & I pray it works great for you. & By the way Nice hair color. It looks great on you. You look great.
Gem, I think you have helped show the people out there that it isn't overly difficult/wizardry to build your own PC. I hope this inspires more people to take up the hobby.😁
im glad you found the very important stickers. thats the single most important part of any pc build 😆
This is so different from ur other videos but I love it !!💗💗
I love love love seeing the progress of building your own pc!! i might start saving up money so i can one day build my own pc :D
I can't wait to see the Decked Out 2 runs from your point of view!
Thank you! Im already addicted to decked out!
I love how Gem is careful about putting every part of the pc lol
I have to agree with Splinta, I actually build custom intergrated PC desks and liquid cooling for 15 years, and you have done a fantastic job for your first PC Gem!
I heat things up to around 2000 degrees F and hit them with a hammer. I'm afraid building a computer is not something I'm comfortable with. You did a great job! It looks really cool too. Looking forward to the new videos that you will produce with this set-up.
Yeah you will be a bit out of your comfort zone there. :P PCs don't like percussive maintenance, and most of the work building a pc comes to installing parts that keep the heat OUT of what you are working on
sounds like someone is a welder or blacksmith lol
@@jjsanimations guilty. Blacksmith. 😅
@@ericcartrette6118 blacksmithing is cool though lol
@@jjsanimations Yeah, it's lots of fun.
I love the music. Bringing me back to playing in the Wii room. And making characters.
Now u got the 4090 , and that means
U will use shaders 😁😁
The restraint Hermits show not playing with shaders always impresses me. Gem could play daily with Patrix 256, the Physics Mod and SEUS Renewed and get 60fps at 4K without breaking a sweat.
@@GSBarlev yeah but complementary shaders is better than Sues renewed
@@Vapic.Unknown It is, but it's not ray/path-traced. I was going for the most demanding shader (which is probably Continuuum at this point)
I just built my first PC over the summer and my hands were shaking as I put together all the parts I'd spent all that money on together. Its very rewarding to see it all working when its all done. Great job!
For the person who asked what games you play and then walked away… little did they know that you have 1.66 M on RUclips lol
Can I just say how humble you are, it's so refreshing to see an "influencer" that is open and transparent about being given free stuff. Also the fact that you feel you need to justify such an expensive build. Enjoy it, you earned it ❤
build me one next
Never been more jealous of another person, the lego Rivendell set AND a $5k hand built BY YOU PC? Actually living her best life.
So no one's talking about how she was getting 32 fps in minecraft
Listen Gem, it's okay! Anyone who plays Minecraft, ESPECIALLY modded Minecraft knows that you need a pretty decent PC in order to run it smoothly. No shame in going "overboard" because who knows how crazy the game will be even two years from now! Congrats on getting the build together! 🥳
My experience (a LOT of it) is that you can just touch the case a lot, especially after the power supply has been mounted, to discharge static. But if you are nervous in the future you can buy an anti-static wrist strap.
Content like this can get pretty boring quickly, but Gem manages to make it feel more entertaining for the viewer. Great work Gem! I think you would make a great asmrist xD
This reminded me of my first PC build, which was over 10 years ago at this point. Very happy for you, very well done.
I've always had that thought while building the new computer and using the old one to check references and download stuff while building the new one!!
Pc building is super easy (for a huge nerd like me) but it can be really daunting at first. Good job for coming through and successfully building your first pc! AMAZING job Gem! Also Very nice parts choice.
This was so exciting to watch as someone who's been following you since 2020! I've been wanting to build my own PC for 2 years now but there are too many obstacles in my way, so I was living VICARIOUSLY through you this whole video! Congratulations on your first build, I'm no expert, but from all the PC building vidoes I've watched I'd say you did a very good job! You almost made it look easy!
Wow, so cool Gem! And the graphics are gorgeous indeed 😮
Its so cool that gems real house vibe is the same kind of style as her build vibe.
You did great for your first solo PC build! You'll even be able to continue to customize it later on, but you won't need to upgrade anytime soon. This machine is a beast.
Also, anyone who scoffs at needing a powerful PC for Minecraft doesn't know what Minecraft is capable of. :P
Sure, a tiny vanilla survival world might be fine, but modded SMPs, huge servers with complex redstone stuff, and beautiful shaders all require a lot of power.
As a person who's built their own pc's for about 25 years i gotta say, i'm impressed! I don't think i could've done a better job! Congrats on the awesome PC!
I could watch you build desktops or ikea furniture all day, you are aesthetically pleasing to have on. Thank you for your time and efforts Gem!
GOD, it was so interesting to watch, I’m used to a Minecraft Gem, but it’s irl GEMMM 😮😮❤❤ the pc looks sick!
"It's weirdly pretty actually" - Gem I've been having this same thought this whole time. I used to work a lot more inside of computers ~15 years ago and everything back then just seemed to be black, grey, or green and was made 100% for function.
