Wow, a build video that shows the details, which if not included, can confuse first time builders or a person like me who has not done a build for 10 years and needs to see the "new stuff".
Why have people disliked this video? ok it is only 3 at the time of this post, but this video is great for people who want to build a computer and have no idea where to start. I have been building computers for years, this latest one being a Ryzen 7, but I still watched this as it is interesting. As for cable management, I knew I picked my case for a reason, no side window. Saying that the case is getting on now, it is a Coolermaster Haf and is over 8 years old, i see no reason to replace it.
Yes if it works why replace it. There is enough garbage and waste in this world of ours. And the why of it. Why would people dislike this video; i have had that thought many times. And then a think. How long is a bit if string? That might be a bit cryptic. Who tfk's
No offense but other youtubers who explain this doesn’t even say what it is in clear explanation.. I’m glad I found you, you go slow and easy for beginners like me
Mr Scissors cutting against the instructions direction and then throwing the cut off across the room - He's just a rebel and that's why we love him. :) Looking forward to the dual booting goodness to come.
Yes, Mr. Scissors - a true steely rebel - fought the law...and the law won(!) As I speak he is in the process of serving out his SISS (Suspended Imposition of Scissor Sentence) and only has to show up on Mondays for the next 13 years to see his parole officer to prove that his blades are still sharp, free of 'fly-offs' and well behaved... ;-)
Excellent macro-lens camera shots, showing those motherboard connectors so closely like that -- very easy to see the plugs, and even the polarity of the connectors. You make it easy to replicate your build -- which is, of course, one of your goals. I'm enjoying this series. Thanks!
Great video. Each component getting the same amount of detailed description on its use. Nothing is rushed or forgotten. Everything is laid for everyone to see. Clear instructions that anyone can follow. It's no wonder your getting more people subscribing with each new video. Thanks again for making this video.
I have the same exact 27" BENQ monitor. Its a very nice monitor. Superb camera work. I wouldn't be surprised if the case and MB manufacturers put a link to this video as an assembly video. You should email them and let them know about this series.
This video took me back to my first Box when basic machines cost $2,000-$4,000 and lots of work to get it running. Beautiful job of assembly for such a reasonablev price. Using used parts today, if you know what you are doing, it is possible to build a server for under $450.00 with basic mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor and DVD. Building and testing takes time. Your video was beautiful and l am looking forward to. Part 3.
I wish to see more of these build videos even there are many tech channels building pc's but yours are unique and refreshing as your choise of components are made with reason and thought compared to the more mainstream gaming pc channels with the expensive parts. That said eventhough I'm a middle aged gamer with an i7 8700K onboard.
My favourite part of this demo was when Christopher showed us the side of the case and helpfully told us that indeed it was 'the side of a case'. Genius. I love it.
Thanks to your previous video I've started to build my own PC based on a Ryzen 5 2600X, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, Blue-Ray drive, and a MSI Radeon RX570 Armor 8GB graphics card. All in all with other components such as a case, some cables, 600W power supply I bloated the cost up a bit shy under 800€. Thanks to your videos I'll be hopefully sooner than later owner and user of a nice and powerfull PC! Finally!
to explain this, simply ask the youtube algorithm. you get videos recommended by viewing similar aaand by the thumbs-up you have given. So the only way to tell youtube to stop showing you these is thumb-down. it's still no good/bad/neutral thing, because it could be an interesting info, presented badly or a not interesting info for you, but nicely done. Of course there are certain haters which spam certain channel videos with thumbs down because it seems to be their only power and meaningful action in life... but funnily this means they are actively looking for the videos to thumbdown.
I've only built 1 desktop PC myself. I had help with a good friend who knows a lot more than me. That was January 2016. By myself, I've upgraded from a mechanical 2TB to a dual 512gb SSD/2TB mechanical config, double 8gb RAM to 16gb RAM, and then from stock air cooler to a closed loop water cooler. I like watching these videos as well.
Beautiful satisfying thing - building/upgrading your own machines. Choosing components, storages, RAMs, graphics, PSU, OSes, software, etc. Exciting! Almost to the point when program is successfully running without a bugs/errors, after a months of coding. Beautifully done video Chris! 🏆
ExplainingComputers Thank you Chris. I find your videos excellent and I enjoy every microsecond of it. Considering the fact I consume a huge amount of information/knowledge every day, [the joy of learning] and having a long list of yt channels I like to follow and watch, I do not comment so often. I just comment what it is really excellent, [wow moments], more criterion/characteristics has to be on the scale than just a few.
I watch computer builds on many channels and have to say that your close up slow(er) motion video when you installed the motherboard into the I/O shield, when you plugged in the 24 pin and case connectors, the detail and correct polarity direction when installing the Hdd, power, reset, and led case connectors made for one excellent video. Thanks, and maybe you could explain pwm where the 3 pin fan was connected to a 4 pin header.
A 4pin header would be ideal, but the fan in the back of case is only 3 pin. So I may replace it. However, as I understand it, the motherboard can have voltage control via 3-pin header, but not the PWM control via the fourth pin.
I can imagine that. I have a gaming tower with a 1700x in it, and I got an older Dell Optiplex 7010 with an i5 3470 in it to use as a server. I now find myself leaving the space-heater turned off when not gaming and just using this thing. And you definitely notice. That said it runs Linux just fine, so if you wanted to mess with that, that old 3570k would be well suited for it. I do want to get the i7 version of this CPU though.
It is so crazy how much computers have changed since 2006. I am still working on my new computer build but it's just such a learning curve for me. And the new changes in standards and design are absolutely epic. I really am enjoying how computing has come along in 2019. So great!
I've been looking forward to Part II of the series. In fact, I look forward to every video from this channel - always informative and relaxing. I'm considering creating a new HTPC using the 2200G as it seems like a good value "APU".
As somebody mentioned in a comment here last week, even though it is only a few months old, the 2200G is already a classic. When you consider that it delivers in terms of CPU and GPU compared to chips of just a few years ago, it really is amazing value.
@@IJoeAceJRI Sure, I'd be up for that. Perhaps we should start by stating requirements? Here's what I'm trying to achieve: CPU/GPU: 2200G or 2400G Motherboard: Cheapest mATX available, no overclocking required. PSU: Corsair/EVGA/something reliable and cost effective RAM: I already have a spare kit of 16GB (2x8) HyperX 2667. Storage: Already purchased a 120GB SSD when it was on offer for £18. Case: That's the hard part due to height requirements for my set-up. Budget: ~£300-£400, although it's flexible. I'll be using it for Kodi and streaming from my homeserver (Supermicro 24-bay with a JBOD = ~37 drives but space for 48 - not expecting everyone to have such an extreme set-up 😄). Must support H.265 and H.265, which I believe the 2X00G series does. At the moment, I'm using a "Turion II" clocked at 2GHz (dual core) with 4GB of RAM, a 5400RPM 250GB HDD and a Radeon 6450 - it's very old but has worked well. What are your requirements?
@@IJoeAceJRI I have no plan to upgrade. I have a workstation in my office for work and gaming as well as the server for storage. This HTPC will sit underneath my TV (hence the height limitation) stand/unit thing. I use the HTPC for light browsing from the couch, but it's mostly for video playback using Kodi. Are you planning on upgrading in the future to get more out of the system, such as gaming etc.?
JoeAceJR hey I saw your post did you build your system?? By what I’m reading it sounds very mobile?? I’m new to networking reason I’m asking bc I need same thing?? Thank you!!
i have been watching many pc building tutorials but no one is perfect in terms of camera angle or else but this tutorial teaches us elaborately on very easy ways and i like this camera zooming and angles.... plz keep continuing sir...you are awesome
The screws for the power supply where in its box you threw on the floor. Further you make your videos very detailed, explaining everything very clear. That would be help full for a lot of people. Although I´ve been building computers and mods for decades i like watching this. Thanks Christopher.
It is so satisfying watching someone build a PC. I never get bored watching them. From the simplest of builds to the more complex. It is always fun to watch. Thank you 😊
Wow! That was fast. I'm impressed. I'm afraid the next episode is not until a week on Sunday though (17 Feb). I will be shooting it tomorrow. :) This week's video is all about SBCs.
ExplainingComputers No problem, I have learned so much from your videoes, and bet I have even more to learn. I am a Norwegian living in Thailand, and had to order the mainboard from Germany :-) Cheers!
One of my Sunday highlights with a cup of tea, and Explaining Computers, whatever the subject is... Seen loads of builds, but it is always great to see you with such great camera footage. Thank You.
I've done this many times over the past 25 years or so, and I'm always amazed at how much the hardware has changed. The mobo used to have dozens of little parts soldered to it, but now yours looks so clean and simple. Possibly has something to do with the big Gigabyte brick on it, eh? It's good also that the power supply is mounted at the bottom of the case instead of mounting at the top, like in the "good ol' days". Thanks for these videos Chris, looking forward to the next one.
Great video as always. Just don't go placing a PC with a bottom PSU intake on carpet, as blocking that fan will cause failure of the PSU within a year. If a PC with a bottom PSU is going to be placed on carpet, then flipping the PSU so it intakes from inside the case is a sensible compromise, especially with the addition of front intake fans.
@@ExplainingComputers late late reply, but if the PSU shroud is vented, or if there's no PSU shroud at all, it's usually better to install the PSU with the fan up. the components heat rises in the case instead of on the PSU PCB, and helps it run cooler, without triiggering the fan as often. Also, the airflow of the case fans will always create a slight airflow through the PSU, so, all in all, it makes for a quieter system and a cooler PSU
Chris I really appreciate the effort you go to showing all the steps. So many instructional videos like to show all the stuff already unpacked and the standoffs already screwed in etc. I like the fact that you are seeing inside the box for the first time on cammera. Never stop doing what you do
Excellent series. I think someone has already commented. It’s like a 1960’s Batman episode. ‘Will Christopher complete the build in time?’ Tune in next week, same Explaining Computers Time. Same Explaining Computers Channel! But seriously, I was looking at the same case for a budget video/photo editing PC. Amazon seem to do a few bundled mobo options too. Can’t wait until next week :-)
Thanks for this build series. Me and my 11 year old son have really enjoyed putting this PC together, he cannot wait to customise the case with LED lights and install the graphics card upgrade. He is really chuffed to have a excellent looking and performing PC.
Another lovely video, my friend. I got my degree in computer networking way back in the late 1990s when we still counted in megabytes. I think most of the PCs I built then were Windows NT machines. Anyway it’s nice to see a modern build and to know that many things are still the same, as I haven’t built a PC in 20 years. Thanks for all the attention to detail. It has given me the confidence to maybe dust off my PC building chops and put one together in the near future!
Brilliant presentation and excellent camera work. You have wonderfully simplified a topic which is difficult for beginners to understand. Thanks a lot.
I really enjoy video's like this.People always assume that building a pc are rocket science but it really is not.For me i paid a little more to get a case with tempered side panel a psu shroud and 3 rgb fans.I paid in my currency 1.1k which comes down to around 77 usd.I just did it for cable management.My brothers running the 2400g and his is a boss.Great video and very enjoyable.
Excelent video. Very organized and mythotical. I would love to see you make a video covering BIOS options and help demystify some of the options presented within.
Thanks Chris, great video. Eagerly waiting part 3. I have only built a couple of pc's although have had many apart for cleaning, upgrades and repairs. Remember first build rather daunting but i didn't have your video guidelines to follow, watching this today now I find myself looking for an excuse to build a new pc☺
The best video and i mean THE BEST. That fully attention to details explanation with a structured way of explaining really is making it easy to understand for a beginner in PC build. I could watch this over and over again without getting bored. Ps : I'm glad the motherboard and the case are getting along really well
Yeah, I forget the year of my first build, think it was 97 maybe? It had a 120 Mhz Pentium, 500 MB, HDD, 16MB memory 2MB S3 Video Card, soundblaster 16 sound card, US Robotics 33.3 Modem, and a 2X Ricoh SCSI CD burner.
thank you very much chris i want to build a PC for the first time and your videos very clear and very noob friendly, some very big tech channels assume everyone is already in the know and they gloss over importent parts about builds ,like how to connect everything properly
@@ExplainingComputers You can even build a matrix of self-flashing RGB LEDs ( goo.gl/rHyaBv ) on to the black panel, by drilling 5mm holes in the panel and have the LEDs poke out the holes. Make sure you order the slow flashing LEDs. I made one in a 8x7 Matrix and it looks so cool. Like a computer working.... Just a suggestion.
I was so pleased by the cable management channels behind the motherboard when I made this computer. I hadn't done my own build in almost 15 years due to budget constraints(I was using refurbished office machines with a bigger HDD, some cheap RAM and low end graphics card added in, generally costing in the region of £100) and always dreaded heading into spaghetti junction when wanting to add or remove a drive. Add in the extra convenience of having a modular power supply, and my case isn't overflowing with random, often never used, cables anymore.
Cool video Chris. I imagine this has helped, or will help a lot of first time builders. Just out of curiosity, do you intend some sort of a benchmark once the system has it's dual boot OS's ? : Thumbs up 👍👍👍
I always am surprised when people call "not having to build the system" an advantage of OEM systems. Assembling the system and having the ability to make it exactly how you like it is fun. Like how Linux is more fun than Windows because you have much more possibilities to adapt it to your needs.
It's been years, and I miss it. The last one I wanted to build, I had a list of components, went to the store I used before, and they didn't want to sell me the parts. They said they couldn't guarantee anything if I built it, so they offered to build it for me at no extra cost! The only thing I lost out on was the thrill of building the thing myself. At least I got a one year warranty, and MS has never touched my computer.
I love your videos and the style you are producing them! I would appreciate if you could show the price also in Euros next time! Thank you for this rather nice Video!
Hi Chris. I did not see why you did not hide the cables behind the metal panel that holds the Motherboard! Your build will look much tidy and neat. But any way your video is quite professional and nice, as usual.
I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's like my old Xilio case, there's cable management ties back there, but with power going back there, I physically had to force the panel on, which was not fun. My NZXT cases have more room back there for that.
ExplainingComputers : Thanks for part two of your Ryzen 3 2200G budget PC build , very interesting and well presented video on how to build your own budget PC !
A great series of videos Chris, thanks. Easy to follow with a tad of humor. I remember my first build using AMD, the processor was an Athlon 64, a great and zippy chip back then, (still have it in one of my parts drawers). I caught the build bug many zonks ago and went on to achieve a city and guilds qualification for computer maintenance; halcyon days indeed.
I sent my first ' email ' around 1982/3 to the guys at winfrith atomic power station and it was with punched hole cards , since then I have owned several pcs and have never been tempted to actually assemble my own pc , closest I have got is to a pi 3 , but I feel tempted to give it a whirl having watched these videos , However having said that I do worry that pcs are stalling in their development , even with sbc . yes they are open source , to a large extent , but I feel a major overhaul is due
Thank you, Chris. Another interesting vlog and one that will be useful when I build my new PC. I always appreciate you great sense of humor. (humour, for you.) haha. Peace.
I always test the machine powers up and gets to the BIOS before I add the drives, myself, because I've had situations where a bad drive has prevented the PC booting and I've been tearing my hear out troubleshooting. Awesome build so far!
is the best pc fitting video i ever seen . Not only it is well explained but the "Michael Caine" voice is soothing and help altogether for the understanding .No need for stress ,it wouldn't ,now would it?
Thinks Cris, I miss the days of building computers, due to the country I live in and it´s high inflation rate I end up repairing mother boards rather than replacing them..
Hey Rafael, I'm pretty sure my older - but nice - Gigabyte MOBO has a faulty southbridge chip. I wonder what the chances of de-soldering and replacing it are without overheating nearby tracings/electronics...?
Hello again Chris, it can be done, however you need the proper tools for that task like a hot air soldering de soldering station and the proper solder to be able to do it.
I'm getting excited to build my very own gaming PC!!! My hands are a bit sweaty.....thanks for this sir! i will constantly be visiting your videos for guidance. More power!!!
Put in a manual overclock for the CPU and RAM. That "stock" voltage is too high for normal usage. My Ryzen 7 1700 is running 1,264V and 3,8GHz stable. And you have 2400MHz RAM, activate XMP or use manual overclock for that as well. Ryzen needs fast RAM. Try to overclock RAM to at least 2666MHz
Even a beginner must know, that if you don't manually set the RAM speed to "on-the-box" numbers, then your stick(s) will run at 2133. If you don't know how to do this or don't want to do this, then you don't need to spend money on fast RAM. Just get the cheapest then.
Enjoying the new build series but have a question/request.The power requirements for laptops and desktops differ greatly, so could you make a video about this and possibly build, or simulate a build, of a desktop pc that with laptop power comsumption.
Thank you Chris for another great video. I would like to hear your comments about Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities and their effects on the PC builds for component choice in 2019. The new CPUs still come to market with these vulnerabilities.
A very interesting point. Meltdown and Spectre have been managed out of the public consciousness, but I am sure will be brought back to the fore when AMD and Intel find it convenient. I guess for those who can wait, waiting is wise.

i have been watching many pc building tutorials but no one is perfect in terms of camera angle or else but this tutorial teaches us elaborately on very easy ways and i like this camera zooming and angles.... plz keep continuing sir...you are awesome
Thanks.
It's a fantastic little beast ! Lots of upgradeability for when the budget allows it ! Thanks for this build, very enjoyable to watch !
The screws for the power supply where in its box you threw on the floor. Further you make your videos very detailed, explaining everything very clear. That would be help full for a lot of people. Although I´ve been building computers and mods for decades i like watching this. Thanks Christopher.
It is so satisfying watching someone build a PC. I never get bored watching them. From the simplest of builds to the more complex. It is always fun to watch. Thank you 😊
These videos of this build are actually how I got into playing pc instead of consol gaming and now my whole family of 6 play on pc.
Great to hear. :)
Love your videos, and a cameo by Mr. Scissors in this one! Keep up the good work!
Hooo wel it's sunday again, nice sunday to you all viewers on the youtube, Next week is coming, nice build and video !!
Very well done guide about how to build a pc by yourself. I will suggest this video to all of my friends who are going to build their own PC. Thanks!
Fantastic! This is my first PC build, the hardware is now assembled and tested. The PC and I are both eagerly waiting for the next episodes!
Wow! That was fast. I'm impressed. I'm afraid the next episode is not until a week on Sunday though (17 Feb). I will be shooting it tomorrow. :) This week's video is all about SBCs.
ExplainingComputers No problem, I have learned so much from your videoes, and bet I have even more to learn. I am a Norwegian living in Thailand, and had to order the mainboard from Germany :-) Cheers!
One of my Sunday highlights with a cup of tea, and Explaining Computers, whatever the subject is... Seen loads of builds, but it is always great to see you with such great camera footage. Thank You.
I've done this many times over the past 25 years or so, and I'm always amazed at how much the hardware has changed. The mobo used to have dozens of little parts soldered to it, but now yours looks so clean and simple. Possibly has something to do with the big Gigabyte brick on it, eh? It's good also that the power supply is mounted at the bottom of the case instead of mounting at the top, like in the "good ol' days". Thanks for these videos Chris, looking forward to the next one.
Great video as always. Just don't go placing a PC with a bottom PSU intake on carpet, as blocking that fan will cause failure of the PSU within a year. If a PC with a bottom PSU is going to be placed on carpet, then flipping the PSU so it intakes from inside the case is a sensible compromise, especially with the addition of front intake fans.
Great advice.
@@ExplainingComputers late late reply, but if the PSU shroud is vented, or if there's no PSU shroud at all, it's usually better to install the PSU with the fan up. the components heat rises in the case instead of on the PSU PCB, and helps it run cooler, without triiggering the fan as often. Also, the airflow of the case fans will always create a slight airflow through the PSU, so, all in all, it makes for a quieter system and a cooler PSU
Chris I really appreciate the effort you go to showing all the steps.
So many instructional videos like to show all the stuff already unpacked and the standoffs already screwed in etc.
I like the fact that you are seeing inside the box for the first time on cammera.
Never stop doing what you do
Thanks for your kind feedback. Appreciated.
Excellent series. I think someone has already commented. It’s like a 1960’s Batman episode. ‘Will Christopher complete the build in time?’ Tune in next week, same Explaining Computers Time. Same Explaining Computers Channel! But seriously, I was looking at the same case for a budget video/photo editing PC. Amazon seem to do a few bundled mobo options too. Can’t wait until next week :-)
Thanks for this build series. Me and my 11 year old son have really enjoyed putting this PC together, he cannot wait to customise the case with LED lights and install the graphics card upgrade. He is really chuffed to have a excellent looking and performing PC.
This is great feedback, thanks. I too am looking forward to doing those upgrades. :) The case will look so different when running with the lighting.
You did great on your choices and prices of power supply and case.
Built PC's for Gateway 2000 back in the day; your video made me heavily nostalgic.
Excellent quality once again. Love the red theme that you have chosen. Can't wait for the next video.
Another lovely video, my friend. I got my degree in computer networking way back in the late 1990s when we still counted in megabytes. I think most of the PCs I built then were Windows NT machines. Anyway it’s nice to see a modern build and to know that many things are still the same, as I haven’t built a PC in 20 years. Thanks for all the attention to detail. It has given me the confidence to maybe dust off my PC building chops and put one together in the near future!
Brilliant presentation and excellent camera work. You have wonderfully simplified a topic which is difficult for beginners to understand. Thanks a lot.
I really enjoy video's like this.People always assume that building a pc are rocket science but it really is not.For me i paid a little more to get a case with tempered side panel a psu shroud and 3 rgb fans.I paid in my currency 1.1k which comes down to around 77 usd.I just did it for cable management.My brothers running the 2400g and his is a boss.Great video and very enjoyable.
Excelent video. Very organized and mythotical. I would love to see you make a video covering BIOS options and help demystify some of the options presented within.
A second request today for a BIOS video. Noted! :)
A very apt comparison between Medusa and a computer. One makes you freeze into stone right where you stand, and the other - where you sit.
:)
Thanks Chris, great video. Eagerly waiting part 3. I have only built a couple of pc's although have had many apart for cleaning, upgrades and repairs. Remember first build rather daunting but i didn't have your video guidelines to follow, watching this today now I find myself looking for an excuse to build a new pc☺
The best video and i mean THE BEST. That fully attention to details explanation with a structured way of explaining really is making it easy to understand for a beginner in PC build. I could watch this over and over again without getting bored.
Ps : I'm glad the motherboard and the case are getting along really well
I've built dozens of PCs, so I really only came here for the 'new hardware' smell.
With a pair of side-cutters and/or a soldering iron, all PSUs are modular! Thanks for an amazingly useful series of videos.
One heck of a satisfying video sir. especially 21:59
Such a calm, beautiful voice and excellent attention to detail! I have become a new but fanatic fan of all your channels!! Thank you Mr. Barnatt
Thanks for watching. :)
Really anxious for this episode!
And here it is! :)
wow some cases dont even have an optical bay anymore. very thorough and satisfying to watch!
Even experienced pc builders can enjoy these videos
Thanks.
I've been building PC's since the mid-late 90's, and I enjoy these videos.
Yes definitely the case, I think my first build was over 20 years ago and I love to see builds, they never get old.
Yeah, I forget the year of my first build, think it was 97 maybe? It had a 120 Mhz Pentium, 500 MB, HDD, 16MB memory 2MB S3 Video Card, soundblaster 16 sound card, US Robotics 33.3 Modem, and a 2X Ricoh SCSI CD burner.
thank you very much chris i want to build a PC for the first time and your videos very clear and very noob friendly, some very big tech channels assume everyone is already in the know and they gloss over importent parts about builds ,like how to connect everything properly
Good luck with your build.
Cram the nest of extra power wires into the 3.5" drive bay, and hide them with a piece of black plasticard...
Black plasticard is a great idea. And I have some in the cupboard! Excellent tip. Thanks.
@@ExplainingComputers You can even build a matrix of self-flashing RGB LEDs ( goo.gl/rHyaBv ) on to the black panel, by drilling 5mm holes in the panel and have the LEDs poke out the holes.
Make sure you order the slow flashing LEDs. I made one in a 8x7 Matrix and it looks so cool. Like a computer working....
Just a suggestion.
I was so pleased by the cable management channels behind the motherboard when I made this computer. I hadn't done my own build in almost 15 years due to budget constraints(I was using refurbished office machines with a bigger HDD, some cheap RAM and low end graphics card added in, generally costing in the region of £100) and always dreaded heading into spaghetti junction when wanting to add or remove a drive. Add in the extra convenience of having a modular power supply, and my case isn't overflowing with random, often never used, cables anymore.
Cool video Chris. I imagine this has helped, or will help a lot of first time builders. Just out of curiosity, do you intend some sort of a benchmark once the system has it's dual boot OS's ? : Thumbs up 👍👍👍
Absolutely amazing video quality. Especially the macro shots. Well done.
Building a PC is so much fun!!!
Very much so.
I always am surprised when people call "not having to build the system" an advantage of OEM systems. Assembling the system and having the ability to make it exactly how you like it is fun. Like how Linux is more fun than Windows because you have much more possibilities to adapt it to your needs.
It's been years, and I miss it. The last one I wanted to build, I had a list of components, went to the store I used before, and they didn't want to sell me the parts. They said they couldn't guarantee anything if I built it, so they offered to build it for me at no extra cost! The only thing I lost out on was the thrill of building the thing myself. At least I got a one year warranty, and MS has never touched my computer.
@@ExplainingComputers no it's a nightmare ...for poor...
"Never Skimp on your power supply." This is probably the best tip for new builders.
I love your videos and the style you are producing them! I would appreciate if you could show the price also in Euros next time! Thank you for this rather nice Video!
Euros, pounds, dollars - they are all worth about the same these days.
Awesome video. I enjoyed the detailed explanations and close ups. I can’t wait for the next video
Hi Chris. I did not see why you did not hide the cables behind the metal panel that holds the Motherboard! Your build will look much tidy and neat. But any way your video is quite professional and nice, as usual.
I hid the main power cable back there in the end! I kept changing my mind. :)
@@ExplainingComputers Well, that is how it usually works, trial and error till you reach the optimal build.
Thanks for your answer.
I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's like my old Xilio case, there's cable management ties back there, but with power going back there, I physically had to force the panel on, which was not fun. My NZXT cases have more room back there for that.
ExplainingComputers : Thanks for part two of your Ryzen 3 2200G budget PC build , very interesting and well presented video on how to build your own budget PC !
Always a fantastic video, keep up the great work Chris
A great series of videos Chris, thanks. Easy to follow with a tad of humor. I remember my first build using AMD, the processor was an Athlon 64, a great and zippy chip back then, (still have it in one of my parts drawers). I caught the build bug many zonks ago and went on to achieve a city and guilds qualification for computer maintenance; halcyon days indeed.
I sent my first ' email ' around 1982/3 to the guys at winfrith atomic power station and it was with punched hole cards , since then I have owned several pcs and have never been tempted to actually assemble my own pc , closest I have got is to a pi 3 , but I feel tempted to give it a whirl having watched these videos ,
However having said that I do worry that pcs are stalling in their development , even with sbc . yes they are open source , to a large extent , but I feel a major overhaul is due
this morning I powered on my PC for first time after changing pretty much everything, that moment you turn on first time gives me shivers :)
Yes, that moment is always a hold-your-breath one!
Thank you, Chris. Another interesting vlog and one that will be useful when I build my new PC. I always appreciate you great sense of humor. (humour, for you.) haha. Peace.
I always test the machine powers up and gets to the BIOS before I add the drives, myself, because I've had situations where a bad drive has prevented the PC booting and I've been tearing my hear out troubleshooting. Awesome build so far!
This is an excellent tutorial for all levels.
These are master classes, thank you Prof for such clearly explained, detailed and well photographed work.
enjoyed watching, can't wait for the next video's in this series! :-))))
Thank you. I now know how to plug in the cables, the different types of screws and LED connectors.
Excellently explained. I am definitely gonna build a PC someday soon. Kind regards
is the best pc fitting video i ever seen . Not only it is well explained but the "Michael Caine" voice is soothing and help altogether for the understanding .No need for stress ,it wouldn't ,now would it?
Ps:it was so convincing that my new pc is what you shown.only the ryzen 5 2400g instead.
Good video. Cant wait for part 3
*BRILLIANT BUILD GUIDE FOR STARTERS, NO GIMMICKS OR PRODUCT PLACEMENT.*
Thanks.
Ah! Finally part 2 is here
And hopefully worth waiting for! :)
@@ExplainingComputers yes indeed, your videos are always a delight.
Maybe I would remake the build in a few years!
A good second part on a good build series, Christopher! Keep up the good work!
Excellent informative video cant wait for the rest thank you
You're the only professional RUclipsr on tech support
Thanks.
If it functions a well as it looks it's going to be a real performer.
I look forward to running and showing performance tests. Sadly this PC is package away right now as I work on other things.
Yea! I always become very excited when watching a computer being built. Well done!
Thinks Cris, I miss the days of building computers, due to the country I live in and it´s high inflation rate I end up repairing mother boards rather than replacing them..
Hey Rafael, I'm pretty sure my older - but nice - Gigabyte MOBO has a faulty southbridge chip. I wonder what the chances of de-soldering and replacing it are without overheating nearby tracings/electronics...?
Hello again Chris, it can be done, however you need the proper tools for that task like a hot air soldering de soldering station and the proper solder to be able to do it.
I'm getting excited to build my very own gaming PC!!! My hands are a bit sweaty.....thanks for this sir! i will constantly be visiting your videos for guidance. More power!!!
Great video for a 1st time builder.
I have built several pc's before this video but i still watched with great interest.Great video .
Glad to see you could repair the CPU! What will you use this machine for?
I am giving it to a member of my family.
Very enjoyable video! Brings back fond memories of my father building an 80386 PC in the early 1990's.
Put in a manual overclock for the CPU and RAM. That "stock" voltage is too high for normal usage. My Ryzen 7 1700 is running 1,264V and 3,8GHz stable. And you have 2400MHz RAM, activate XMP or use manual overclock for that as well. Ryzen needs fast RAM. Try to overclock RAM to at least 2666MHz
Overclock and voltage tweaking goes beyond the scope of a beginners guide like this one. I'm sure he's making that adjustment off camera though 👍
Even a beginner must know, that if you don't manually set the RAM speed to "on-the-box" numbers, then your stick(s) will run at 2133. If you don't know how to do this or don't want to do this, then you don't need to spend money on fast RAM. Just get the cheapest then.
Im looking forward to learning the BIOS setup:).
You are so professional and clean!
One of the greats!
Thank you :)
Enjoying the new build series but have a question/request.The power requirements for laptops and desktops differ greatly, so could you make a video about this and possibly build, or simulate a build, of a desktop pc that with laptop power comsumption.
Nice idea for a video. I do intend to do a video on PC power consumption, green computing/etc in 2019.
Thank you Chris for another great video. I would like to hear your comments about Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities and their effects on the PC builds for component choice in 2019. The new CPUs still come to market with these vulnerabilities.
A very interesting point. Meltdown and Spectre have been managed out of the public consciousness, but I am sure will be brought back to the fore when AMD and Intel find it convenient. I guess for those who can wait, waiting is wise.
