My tip is that everyone should use an ATX case unless your making a portable rig or whatever. This is because you have ample amount of air flow for your components maximizing their life and keeping them cool. Also it will make it easier to do cable management and you don't have to buy specific parts which fit in the case. Furthermore buy an ATX motherboard as your components will be further away from each so they'll stay cooler.
Please don't ever remove this video, I plan to be using it this Winter when I build my own PC for the first time. So convenient that I decided on this same case a little earlier today before I found this vid lol!
im planing on building my own pc too. gotta go earn some cash b4 hand tho.. btw. do u have any suggestions for cases? all i know is that ill b using intel core i5 6600k and r9 380 graphics card. yep.. not gonna get hyped too early lol. any suggestions would help!
Good luck man I just finished my first build today, I go so frustrated some times but I just took deep breathes, I'm still not finished because my hard drive gets here tomarrow then I can put it in and install my drivers and Windows.
Bruh, we've never survived the pandemic, we're now zombies, mere ghosts of whom we once were. Because things changed, changes, changing... like they always do. ... I usually come back here for "welcome to PC master race" and "throw your console in the trash".
Wanted to drop my appreciation in a tangible form here for you, Jay. Long term PC gamer, first time builder, your overview got me comfortable enough to finish the build in 3 hours without any issues other than the wiring/connections from case to motherboard (and that was a user error more than anything else.) games that were out of my reach before are running smooth as silk on highest graphics, and I neither could have, 'or would have been able to do it without your video. My thanks.
Static isnt much of an issue as people make it seem. The most you'll ever need is an antistatic band and thats it. Ive had experience with pc's, all Ive done is touch the metal case every now and then. If you only have a plastic case, I guess you could use an antistatic band but really as long as you arent building on carpet nothing will break. If you really want to be safe, you can plug in the psu to the outlet, turn it off, and attatch your antistatic band onto that. And using an antistatic mat. But yea its not that big of an issue. Most parts nowadays are more durable than back then
Creamy Z But if this is the case, why the motherboard manufacture and other big electronic companies does care about ESD?? If you buy a brand new TV set, would you like to see fingerprint all over the screen?? And if this happen with your brand new laptop?
coisasnatv Because it can happen and they want to warn people. If they didnt tell you, you could potentially sue them. To be safe though, I generally just work on tile and touch my case. Sometimes I will use an anti static band. There is no need for anti static mats snd gloves, etc.
if anybody could help me for my laptop's touchpad problem, so for example i open the search box on youtube and i type with my keyboard, after i type what i want it takes like 4-5 seconds for the touchpad to respond.. if anyone could please help me that'd be fantastic
I am building a new gaming PC for the first time soon and your videos are a huge help. Keep up the good work. Still need a few more parts but I think it will end up looking like this: cpu: i5-4690 (don't care about OCing) mobo: Z87 Plus Ram: Kingston HyperX blu 8gb GPU: Asus Gtx 760 2gb etc. etc. Wish me luck! lol
I am an advanced computer user and even I learned a few good tips. For example: installing a processor and RAM before putting motherboard into a case. Thank you very much for a great tips!
Watching this in Sept 2022..... It's crazy to see how much PC parts have changed as well as Jay and the channel. Watch this video and then go watch a movie current video. It'll make you appreciate all the dedication, hard work, (and humor ) Jay and his team have done for the community over the years.
I noticed that the only protection from static electricity he was using was a anti static mat. Would a anti static wristband connected to the PC's case also work?
+HorsehLife Lol yeah everyone's always afraid of the wiring the most. That's how I was, just watch Carey Holzman's videos if you're still looking for answers.
Moe A lol tons of people stuff their cables behind the case which works just fine. But as for wiring, your Manuel that comes with the motherboard will tell you
Manuel? Is that the Mexican gardener that tend the lawn? I afraid he will just cut off those cluttered wires. Its awesome in America, they have free gardener packed in a motherboard box.
Just built my first PC today, loosely following you guide and it came out great! Worked excellent the first time I turned it on and Windows installed no problem. Thanks for the help!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks a mil for this video. I finally decided to join the master race and nervously bought all the parts. I finally got them and had no idea what to do with them, so I watched your video. Took notes. Watched it again, took more notes. Then built my computer while following along with the vid and started it up with no problems. Very easy to follow along, had a blast doing it. Thanks again!
when I was building my PC, I chose the Obsidian 900D case, and when I was installing my Mobo I fell in and was stranded for days. I had to eat my sata cables to survive.
im doing my first build real soon been watching all your videos for a few mounths thanks alot your videos have helped me with my computer and so much now im building a new one thanks man!
I hope I'm this prepared for my first build, your channel is helping me immensely supplying your viewers with all the tech facts and the specs on the pc community.
I got you 1x ASUS Z9PE-D16-10G/DUAL 2x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 4x EVGA GeForce GTX Titan Z Hydro Copper 128GB of some ECC Registered RAM Watercool as much of the damn thing as you can.
iGwlbirdy No, especially because I'm not the one doing the build guide. Since nobody in their right mind would purchase all those parts, it should be more like one of Austin Evans' builds where he gives the setup, but doesn't build it himself. At the end, there should a disclaimer of some sort.
Hey Jay, I'm a huge fan of your videos. I built my first computer from this video (different parts of course). I do thank you for your knowledge.Now 2 years later, Built 4 systems and working on upgrading my systems :)
I know you don't get any ad revenue when a viewer watches on mobile, but it would be nice to have the linked times in the description for mobile viewers. Great job none the less
***** as we discussed via twitter so others don't make dumb ass comments like busted_bullseye, time stamps do not work within the youtube app on mobile.
Did I missed the static discharge part? If not, DO that before you start touching your parts, you can get yourself a Antistatic wrist strap on amazon for a couple bucks!
I just build my first computer about two months ago. It is an absolute beast! With some parts i got from some really awesome family members, plus spending about 700 for the rest of the parts i had an absolute blast! total time i took to build my computer was about 2.5 hours. And there's no beginners luck for me because my system wouldn't post for some reason until i did the psu test, tried booting with it externally and it worked. So i took 2.5 to build and about 5-6 hours troubleshooting. I am now madly in love with building computers and hope that i can build a profession out of it when im done with highschool. If you ever struggle while building your first custom pc, NEVER GIVE UP JUST DO IT!
i hate comment sections and tend to steer away from them but there are these rare occasions that i feel the need to express my appreciation of a job that is done well (especially when it is something your putting out for people to receive for free.) While i did watch this as simple refresher after stepping away from desktops for several years this was just what i needed. I admired that you didnt edit out all the hicups that come while in the midst of a build, which for me are often a puzzle i piece together along the way.I like that you instead showed all the work up to it and explaining what happened and why you had to change it while you reverse and correct your build. Doing all that while keeping your ego in check and encouraging to look else where for more tutorials and making it aware that there is no right way to do it but instead just ones preference is what matters most in the end (well, after it turns on its what matters most haha.) I dont think of anything i can really complain about in the video besides that gabriel iglesias shirt haha but for real good job! im gonna subscirbe since i know that it helps and try hard to keep up on checking out new videos! oh yea gabriel iglesias can suck it!!!
TheBossIsHerePL Well, if you're reaching around the back of your PC to plug something in you wouldn't want to accidentally touch your motherboard, and it probably helps with dust.
It was almost two years ago when I decided I'd retire and become an artist! But I wanted to make computer art and the giant HUGE LUSCIOUS computers I wanted were all in the $6,000 range! WAAAY too much! But then I stumbled upon this video and a few others of yours (who am I kidding, I must have watched 1090 of yours and a thousand of the others out there!) And in late 2020 I felt confident enough to step out and build my own high-powered rig of 3900x, X570 Aurus Master, a couple of M.2 and plenty of storage to move from my older rigs. I've been making my art for a year now, and swapped the 3900x for a 5950x.... liked it so much I built another 5950 on a B550 Unify-X... both with 64GB RAM... one with Platinum 750W BeQuiet, the other with Titanium 850W Seasonic. I've got them cranked on CPU 24/y processing my images and videos. Thank you for all the learning ya gave me!
Comentin just to day i still use this video as reference when im building for myself or a friend! have been using this vid since 2016. Thanks for leaving it here!
drew lowery honestly, just spend $20 on an optical drive and you'll be happy.. spending $20 (or less) on a thumb drive just big enough for a windows installation is not going to give you the decent speeds like an optical drive would.. i should know, i first tried that with my netbook.. took me hours to install windows xp with a thumb drive versus 30 minutes with an external dvd drive
José Vieira you need a PC to do a USB boot drive as i said its my first PC, I have no laptop to use either, people who do PC builds should account for this.(FIRST TIME BUILDER)
TriniElite buy an optical drive and get a windows cd from staples or some other digital retailer or if you have some one you know who has a computer ask them to put together a bootable usb for you, or see if someone at the store could set one up for you
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but this was hard to understand. I need to know what every little thing is and what every little thing does. When you just use a whole bunch of terms and throw in a whole bunch of numbers, it doesn't really help my understanding. Coming from console gaming, where everything is simple, I need someone who can actually explain all of this shit. I mean, how do people learn this stuff? Without videos and higher knowledge of computers, how would someone possibly build a computer?
Check PC Perspectives video. You might be able to understand more there. That's how I got my friends into PC building. I just like watching these videos :P. Good luck.
Not that confusing but it is missing few things: 3D view of installing things. I only see side-view. No wire explanation. All the explanation is what pins are. No explanation on all the cable types and shit. No detailedness
DubstepDRIFTER320 you look legit i have a qeustion is it possible to make a pc under 300 and i dont want a super pc just something better then what ive got and i think building my own is the best choiche because it saves me the most money pls reply i really want to know
"...250 GB is not gonna cut it," I use 80 GB in my main PC. (It is a Dell Optiplex GX620 stock [I think]) I am almost out of space - 5 GB left - but that is beside the point.
+Joshua Dinham Well I can actually play Minecraft on it at around 20-30 for average. ROBLOX runs smooth, too. (But ROBLOX makes it reboot. I don't know.)
Excellent video! I absolutely love how informal and easy it was to follow. I'll be building my first computer and I was extremely nervous about water cooling. It just sounded like a mess, I'll definitely reference this video along the way. Thanks again!
Just as a heads up, mounting your power supply right-side up will draw already warm air from the inside of the computer, which will reduce the efficiency of your power supply, while greatly helping the rest of your pc. Mounting it in the reverse fashion will supply the inside of your pc with air slightly warmed by your power supply, which may also combat your fan inside. The better your power supply is compared to your other PC parts, the more I would stress facing your power supply in a way that blows exhaust out of the computer.
Ghost Dragon Studios it isn't really that necessary that you have to go out of your way to get one,regularly touch some metal away from your case to get out static but I was on a wood floor so I didn't need either really
When I built my PC a few months back I had issued getting it to display. It would turn on but not display, I also noticed my keyboard/mouse weren't lighting up as they should. I was completely confused so paid I $40 for a computer store to fix the issue. After like two weeks they called me and said nothing is wrong it works fine. So I was like this is fucking stupid, I brought the PC back home and connected it to find the same mother fucking issue.. Okay so I thought let's brain storm a little. The PC works fine at the store but not my home? I tried different outlets in my house to think it was a power problem but sure enough the same issue. I researched day and night and finally was like let's have a look see.. I opened the case and sat there for about an hour on the floor and said "What's this do?" (jumper setting) I took it out and placed it back in, turned on my PC and it worked ever since then! I was beyond happy! I'm still completely mind boggled though how it worked at one place but not mine. Wow I wrote a lot, well thx for reading all this if u got this far lol
Josh Foret I think it's called the CMOS reset setting, and it looks like this static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/4/45070/1697487-cmos_jumper.jpg When your PC is powered off, take that out and put it back in. Then turn on your PC and see if it works :)
Hey man just want to say thanks, thanks to watching your videos it has given me the thoughts to work on my own pc so last night went got a motherboard and all the bits and done a complete build in my existing case thanks again and keep going with the great videos
this was my first ever pc I build had some difficulties but that's where ya rewinding it back and listen again 👍good luck everyone my next step is a top gaming pc
u need a optical drive and thee windows 10 CD . turn your comp on open the Disc drive and put the CD in. in BIOS find your boot option tab place and set your computer to boot thru CD. power off than on and it should boot the installation
Will I be able to run minesweeper on low at over 30fps GPU: GTX 990 8gb VRAM CPU: Intel i7 9000 8ghz Ram: 128 GB These are just my basic specs (nothing specific) Don't make fun of me I'm on a budget
Serious Sam yeah thats true, i'm trying to open up the case but because it has a key to open it with that i have lost i may have to destroy the case, but i am probably going to use the power adapter in it for my new one anyway haha
Bro your the man!!!!....I watched a lot of your videos and you helped me build my own gaming PC....thank you bro much love and appreciation for the videos
0rbit LOL!, I was a console gamer all my life never was interested in PC until I buy my 42" FullHD screen, get all exited before conect my PS2 & XBOX, then the horror, such depressive horrible graphics, then I decide to give PC a opportunity and never go back to consoles since. · In 480p console age, I play at 720p. In 720p console age, I play at 1080p. Now in ALMOST 1080p console age, I still playing at 1080p.
***** Yes, just some time after buy my actual GPU is was planing to update but GPU is evolving too fast and no-stop, In waiting for the time GPU technology stuck to not feel bad if a better GPU pop-up the next month until that I'll wait patiently.
***** I'm not sticking with 1080p/1440p I really want 4K but right now this technology is not solid enough, still very unstable and limited, I'm waiting for an optimum 4K interface between PC and screen, out there is a really good one but i guess is too new technology for jump in yet, I'll wait for a true 4K standard: · HDMI 1.4 is the optimum for 1080p, it support 4K but only in 24~30FPS. · HDMI 2.0 is really good for 4K but still not optimum. · I guess if that tech hungry make me a geek. XD
Just looked this up to see if they still make them cheap i/o backplates so they will slice your finger off. Watched the entire video to see your wire management hassle. Pretty neat.
+Leon Schmidt omg so much left :o This is pretty much a complete video, considering that motherboard wiring (usb ports, fans and stuff) are mobo-specific, so he skipped that.
Awesome tip on the power supply placement. I'd just like your idea about the fan facing upward if you have your pc in carpet. So I'd just changed it around. Keep up with your good job and videos.
I had two of the same fan as the green led one you used, but with blue leds, and they both blew bearings within 3 months of everyday use of the computer. it is a gaming computer also. I don't know if your cameraman had any issues with his, but i am currently waiting for two fans made by cougar off of amazon to replace them
thanks for this, even though I know most things about building, but still needed some things to get cleared up. and I also learned much more, thank you alot.
My tip is that everyone should use an ATX case unless your making a portable rig or whatever. This is because you have ample amount of air flow for your components maximizing their life and keeping them cool. Also it will make it easier to do cable management and you don't have to buy specific parts which fit in the case.

btw. do u have any suggestions for cases? all i know is that ill b using intel core i5 6600k and r9 380 graphics card. yep.. not gonna get hyped too early lol. any suggestions would help!
Clash with Bobby
The one used in this vid is probably your best, cheapest bet.
Wouldn't the rx 480 be a better choice over the r9 380 ?
Good luck man I just finished my first build today, I go so frustrated some times but I just took deep breathes, I'm still not finished because my hard drive gets here tomarrow then I can put it in and install my drivers and Windows.
I was so relived when in plugged in my power cable and it came on

Fuck the io plate. Biggest pain ever
How about safety?
Antistatic wrist wrap, ESD safe procedures, gloves, etc, etc.

When installing a cpu how do you put it in the right spot and not too far to the left or right
John McCain It fits perfectly in the socket.
+JustAnotherRUclipsr I mean what if when I'm installing it I put it in a millimeter to the left
+JustAnotherRUclipsr how do I get it exactly where it needs to be
I noticed that the only protection from static electricity he was using was a anti static mat. Would a anti static wristband connected to the PC's case also work?
I get everything else but just the wiring seems hard for me and im a bit nervous if I mess something up or i break a cable
Keep watching people wire then you might get it because I think I'm good now
+HorsehLife Lol yeah everyone's always afraid of the wiring the most. That's how I was, just watch Carey Holzman's videos if you're still looking for answers.
The only way your gonna break a cable is if you cut it off.

and jay will that psu cover thee parts it frys if it goes out? if so i want that thing just to be safe lol
and also how are you suppose to install windows without an optical drive?
drew lowery Check out Barnacules video on installing from a thumb drive. Optical drives are a tad outdated these days.
***** okay thanks alot!
drew lowery honestly, just spend $20 on an optical drive and you'll be happy.. spending $20 (or less) on a thumb drive just big enough for a windows installation is not going to give you the decent speeds like an optical drive would.. i should know, i first tried that with my netbook.. took me hours to install windows xp with a thumb drive versus 30 minutes with an external dvd drive
gamerx9191 I installed Windows 7 from a USB 2.0 thumb drive faster than when I installed it from a CD
The building is not the issue. Installing windows and updating everything is the hard part I feel like :(
First ever pc build, no optical drive, how do i install windows?
TriniElite Same here *****
TriniElite u can install windows u just need a Pen Drive
José Vieira you need a PC to do a USB boot drive as i said its my first PC, I have no laptop to use either, people who do PC builds should account for this.(FIRST TIME BUILDER)
TriniElite buy an optical drive and get a windows cd from staples or some other digital retailer or if you have some one you know who has a computer ask them to put together a bootable usb for you, or see if someone at the store could set one up for you
TriniElite Unfortunately I think you're gonna need to buy an external optical drive and hook it up to your PC :/
This was extremely helpful. Never built one before and this answered SO MANY of my questions. youve gotten yourself a subscriber
nice video just got rid of my console and planning to start a build but didn't have a clue at least now i have a starter point. thanks man
I watched the entire video, even though I already know how to do it :-D
me too hehe
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but this was hard to understand. I need to know what every little thing is and what every little thing does. When you just use a whole bunch of terms and throw in a whole bunch of numbers, it doesn't really help my understanding. Coming from console gaming, where everything is simple, I need someone who can actually explain all of this shit. I mean, how do people learn this stuff? Without videos and higher knowledge of computers, how would someone possibly build a computer?
Check PC Perspectives video. You might be able to understand more there. That's how I got my friends into PC building. I just like watching these videos :P. Good luck.
DubstepDRIFTER320 Ok thanks
TheTTeam no your not an idiot, this was ridiculous. im a beginner. This was like fucking advanced mastery: IT artistry
Not that confusing but it is missing few things: 3D view of installing things. I only see side-view. No wire explanation. All the explanation is what pins are. No explanation on all the cable types and shit.
No detailedness
DubstepDRIFTER320 you look legit i have a qeustion is it possible to make a pc under 300 and i dont want a super pc just something better then what ive got and i think building my own is the best choiche because it saves me the most money pls reply i really want to know
"...250 GB is not gonna cut it,"
I use 80 GB in my main PC. (It is a Dell Optiplex GX620 stock [I think])
I am almost out of space - 5 GB left - but that is beside the point.
+Ethan Weegee For gaming he said its not gonna cut it, which is true. And remember there was no HDD in that build.
+Joshua Dinham Well I can actually play Minecraft on it at around 20-30 for average. ROBLOX runs smooth, too. (But ROBLOX makes it reboot. I don't know.)
+Joshua Dinham Also forgot to mention most games I play are fine on this PC, I use it to game often.
Most people don't stick to one game bro. COD BO 3 alone was over 50 gigs.
Wow...
Excellent video! I absolutely love how informal and easy it was to follow. I'll be building my first computer and I was extremely nervous about water cooling. It just sounded like a mess, I'll definitely reference this video along the way. Thanks again!
Just as a heads up, mounting your power supply right-side up will draw already warm air from the inside of the computer, which will reduce the efficiency of your power supply, while greatly helping the rest of your pc. Mounting it in the reverse fashion will supply the inside of your pc with air slightly warmed by your power supply, which may also combat your fan inside. The better your power supply is compared to your other PC parts, the more I would stress facing your power supply in a way that blows exhaust out of the computer.
Hi Jay I know you're a pro at building computers and stuff but shouldn't you be wearing a anti-static wrist band or something?
Ghost Dragon Studios it isn't really that necessary that you have to go out of your way to get one,regularly touch some metal away from your case to get out static but I was on a wood floor so I didn't need either really
When I built my PC a few months back I had issued getting it to display. It would turn on but not display, I also noticed my keyboard/mouse weren't lighting up as they should. I was completely confused so paid I $40 for a computer store to fix the issue. After like two weeks they called me and said nothing is wrong it works fine. So I was like this is fucking stupid, I brought the PC back home and connected it to find the same mother fucking issue.. Okay so I thought let's brain storm a little. The PC works fine at the store but not my home? I tried different outlets in my house to think it was a power problem but sure enough the same issue. I researched day and night and finally was like let's have a look see.. I opened the case and sat there for about an hour on the floor and said "What's this do?" (jumper setting) I took it out and placed it back in, turned on my PC and it worked ever since then! I was beyond happy! I'm still completely mind boggled though how it worked at one place but not mine. Wow I wrote a lot, well thx for reading all this if u got this far lol
Wait! I have the same problem! I cannot get signal to my monitor!
What is the jumper setting??
Josh Foret I think it's called the CMOS reset setting, and it looks like this static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/4/45070/1697487-cmos_jumper.jpg
When your PC is powered off, take that out and put it back in. Then turn on your PC and see if it works :)
Uub sweet thank you i'll try it asap!
Josh Foret Let me know how things work out ^^
Installing both screws on the graphics card is overrated.
Lol
Atanas Tripzter I like the t-600 terminator
yeah, dell mounting brackets are the way to go
Thank you so much man, even 2 years later you explained it so well to someone like me, who has never built a pc before.
Hey man just want to say thanks, thanks to watching your videos it has given me the thoughts to work on my own pc so last night went got a motherboard and all the bits and done a complete build in my existing case thanks again and keep going with the great videos
Two problems, what about the static electricity and thermal paste?
+Ya_Boy_Dom IKR
Im pretty sure, you install the PSU first and plug it into the wall and keep it off then poke the case every so often.
OK thanks :D
+Ya_Boy_Dom it looked like he was using an anti static mat
+Patrick Challita What about the uncooked rice style? Would that work as well?
are all of the cables included.
Guys, can you tell me if this build is good? I'm actually serious about building this pc.

terrible build !
WingChunNun This Post is two years old...
this was my first ever pc I build had some difficulties but that's where ya rewinding it back and listen again 👍good luck everyone my next step is a top gaming pc
Ok! Sweet this guide is probably the best guide to build your pc on the internet
i wouldnt say that water cooling is part of a basic build. otherwise great video!
The mounting method is no different.
ok didnt know that :)
Nicholas Mäki Yep, the method of installing the retaining bracket for a waterblock or a heatsink is pretty much the same these days.
Thumbs up ifya watching this in 2016! Nice one cuz! Nuff respect .
how does installing the operating system work
u need a optical drive and thee windows 10 CD . turn your comp on open the Disc drive and put the CD in. in BIOS find your boot option tab place and set your computer to boot thru CD. power off than on and it should boot the installation
+Zombeh thanks man :)
+Music IsLife :3
+Music IsLife Or just create a bootable usb disk from a usb stick
+Lennu Vilen much easier and doesn't require an optical drive nor the disc which is an expense some people can't take^

id consider upgrading to the latest i9 line of processors
Thanx Jay for the refresh ... build #4 starting soon
OMG the nostalgia! lmao I feel like I'm stepping out of a time machine.
Great video btw
Can you do a 2016 version
Bigplanes_yyz Building a PC won't change much in 2 years. This tutorial is still good.
alich sta ana Tell me your budget and I'll see if I can pick out better parts.
Could have showed more on how you connected the psu to the motherboard
I mean you really cant mess it up
could i just use an old case i have from an old pc or will i need to buy a new case to build my own pc? this is my first time building a pc.
Serious Sam okay! thank you :)
Serious Sam yeah thats true, i'm trying to open up the case but because it has a key to open it with that i have lost i may have to destroy the case, but i am probably going to use the power adapter in it for my new one anyway haha
Serious Sam ahhh, nice! im still looking for some cheep cpus and other components for mine haha
Serious Sam ahhh nice, im 16 too! im trying to spend like £500-£800 on mine so it will be pretty simple, but i don't mind that haha
Serious Sam ill be sure to link it in the comments when i do haha!
Bro your the man!!!!....I watched a lot of your videos and you helped me build my own gaming PC....thank you bro much love and appreciation for the videos
just ordered some parts for my first system, super hyped
When I built my first gaming PC i threw my Xbox in a lake :D no regrets
0rbit LOL!, I was a console gamer all my life never was interested in PC until I buy my 42" FullHD screen, get all exited before conect my PS2 & XBOX, then the horror, such depressive horrible graphics, then I decide to give PC a opportunity and never go back to consoles since.
·
In 480p console age, I play at 720p.
In 720p console age, I play at 1080p.
Now in ALMOST 1080p console age, I still playing at 1080p.
*****
Yes, just some time after buy my actual GPU is was planing to update but GPU is evolving too fast and no-stop, In waiting for the time GPU technology stuck to not feel bad if a better GPU pop-up the next month until that I'll wait patiently.
*****
I'm not sticking with 1080p/1440p I really want 4K but right now this technology is not solid enough, still very unstable and limited, I'm waiting for an optimum 4K interface between PC and screen, out there is a really good one but i guess is too new technology for jump in yet, I'll wait for a true 4K standard:
·
HDMI 1.4 is the optimum for 1080p, it support 4K but only in 24~30FPS.
·
HDMI 2.0 is really good for 4K but still not optimum.
·
I guess if that tech hungry make me a geek. XD
#pcmasterrace /salute
DubcraftOP Should have just sold it to some tard and bought more games/new components with the cash
"you're probably on crack cocaine" xD
28:00 I swear he says teh nipple.
He did >.>
I was thinking about buying pre-built but after watching this, building it yourself looks like fun.
Just looked this up to see if they still make them cheap i/o backplates so they will slice your finger off. Watched the entire video to see your wire management hassle. Pretty neat.
can you build a PC for two cents?
yes
Cardboard case... Nope. Impossible.
Step 1: Steal a PC
Step 2: Leave 2 cents for the owner
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
Sukhjinder Sandhu 3:Use it and have fun if the PC can run every game.
holy shit you skipped a lot of important steps
Javascript Kiddie Like?
Mason Newman
Grounding
The force needed to pull the lever from the cpu soclet down
+Leon Schmidt omg so much left :o
This is pretty much a complete video, considering that motherboard wiring (usb ports, fans and stuff) are mobo-specific, so he skipped that.
Tushar Sadhwani yeah and if you don't do that your fucking board is toast, along with everything on it so it's a big deal.
Javascript Kiddie what grounding? If that's it, I used my new pc for a month without grounding. It works flawlessly.
One of the best tutorial videos on RUclips! Thank you so much!
Im going to build a computer during summer this video really helped me know some of the basics so thanks
Thanks this guide was great, just used it successfully to build my first gaming PC.
cool video JayzTwoCents i am building my first pc this weekend and i can't wait.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! My cable management is like spaghetti but you have given me the drive to open mine up and get it looking better!
Awesome tip on the power supply placement. I'd just like your idea about the fan facing upward if you have your pc in carpet. So I'd just changed it around. Keep up with your good job and videos.
I did not like I love it how clear and easy you make it.
Thank you for this video. You were one of the main reasons I had the confidence to build my gaming pc. Thanks for being awesome!
Getting ready to do my first build here in a couple days hope all goes well
It's 2021 and this is the exact vid I'm looking for fam.
Magnificent poineers in the field
yess
Excellent video ! I'm brazilian but I understand you :-)
best computer building tutorial yet
I had two of the same fan as the green led one you used, but with blue leds, and they both blew bearings within 3 months of everyday use of the computer. it is a gaming computer also. I don't know if your cameraman had any issues with his, but i am currently waiting for two fans made by cougar off of amazon to replace them
Just ordered parts for my first pc! :)
Thanks! I have never built a PC and REALLY wanted to! this video helped me understand.
this was really nice. the only thing i came for is the graphics card. it helped me a lot. thanks.
Thank you JayzTwoCents i bought high end specs n now i run battlefeild 4 on 120fps on max settings :)
This is the video that I randomly found one day and it made me start getting into pc building
Great informative video. Made me feel good about what i'm doing. You are a good teacher with no gimics. Thanks.
I would love to have seen the next step when you start up and go into BIOs and how you do the initial software setup.
Man you are awesome really... I wish I had the opportunity to teach me how to put together a PC and more things on this sector....
thanks for this, even though I know most things about building, but still needed some things to get cleared up. and I also learned much more, thank you alot.
The NZXT S340 has tall feet!And it is totally safe on the carpet.And btw you cant mount the psu fan facing up because of the psu cover
Thank you so much for the video. I haven't built a PC in 10 years and my knowledge is a little rusty. Lol. A great video to refresh my memory.
i know what im gonna do when i get home! salvage one of my old computers to make this!
Best video ever I learned to build pcs!! Make another videos how to build pcs if you want!!
very informative video. about to start building my own. thanks alot.
