My advice to first time builders is don't get too wrapped up in the performance numbers. Install your hardware, make sure you're clocking at the correct speeds and that everything is stable and then turn off the fps counter. Turn off the monitoring software. Just play the games. Don't lose sleep over that extra 10% of performance if you tweak that overclock for another 6 hours. Don't think, "I could have gotten those extra X frames if I upgraded to the Y". Just enjoy your PC.
This is good advice. Built my first PC last year and got way too obsessed over FPS and CPU/GPU temps and changing graphics settings that i barely played the games. It even convinced me to go back to PS5. Built another PC this year and now I don’t stress about any of that stuff. It’s been an amazing experience.
I have known people who spent so much time tinkering with their build that they barely ever actually used the PC. Used to drive me crazy watching them tweak for like an hour to get 1 FPS more instead of playing the games they were tweaking the PC to get 1 FPS more in.
@@nadtz For some folks, that's the fun, though, and that's OK, too. I personally keep 3 machines fully operational at all times (one media server, one for electronics projects and one for gaming), but I have a dozen cases and hundreds of parts always in various states of assembly. For me, the BEST game is tinkering with the machines themselves.
@@qwkimball To be fair it's kind of what I do for a living, but that's testing/optimizing servers for production. Once it's all figred out I'm happy to stop and start rolling out machines not play with them forever =D.
My kid is starting to get interested in PC gaming. I had no idea these computers were designed to be opened and worked on. I was mind blown. Thought about getting him a prebuilt (starting to know the lingo for it lol) for his birthday, but I’m now I’m thinking maybe build one together. I’m not into games, but building one seems like something cool to bond over or if he wants to do it himself and I just watch him and try some of the things I’ve been learning. I’ve been asking around and RUclips brought me to this video. Learned a couple more things! I have no experience so the thought of building is a little scary. Maybe we’ll start getting some parts and go from there. In the meantime I’ll keep checking out more videos in your channel!! 🤙🏻
I bought a prebuilt because the task of building from scratch seemed too daunting. Within a month i had swapped out everything except for the case. I now have a ton of parts from the original prebuilt collecting dust in my garage, the parts im super happy with in the rig, and the realization that I paid over $1,000 for a case. My best advice, just do the research, trust your abilities, and build your pc. You'll be glad you did. Hope this helps someone 😊
Hey there! I completely understand your struggle with upgrading and customizing your PC. Building your own rig can be daunting at first, but it's definitely worth it in the long run. It gives you the freedom to choose the exact components that suit your needs. If you're interested, I recently came across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a versatile tool that can help maintain a spotless environment on your desk, in your car, and more. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a handy addition to any setup. Just thought I'd share this cool find with you! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further recommendations. Happy to chat tech with you! 😊
My problem is I don't know what parts are compatible with what, like gpus and CPU and every mother board s work with which graphics card,, I just don't know how to match, if I did I would build mine, any suggestions?
My advice would be to realize that 99% of games out there can be played on GPUs as old as the 1060 or RX580, and CPUs to match. The better the hardware, the higher your settings get to be, that's all. Higher FPS will not in fact make you a better gamer. So don't think you have to spend a fortune to game. RUclips is very good at trying to upsell to latest generations and 1440p and 4k, but honestly, if you can realistically only afford 1080p on an affordable card and monitor, then do that. You'll be happier. And that's the whole point, have fun. A lot of us bitter vets only engage in one past time: Crying about prices. Don't be us. Play games, have fun.
Yep. To go even further, some people decide to get one of those second-hand office desktops (HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu) that have relatively high stats (3.5-3.7 GHz along with 8-16 GB RAM) and just swipe the low-end built-in video card for a cheap dGPU, one that still nets them better overall performance. This is a cheap way to get into gaming, but I still prefer the more traditional route, whereby you pick a machine that is actually geared towards the goal.
Hey {{3}}, great to see someone emphasizing the importance of balancing fun and affordability in PC gaming! While high-end hardware can enhance the experience, it's not necessary to break the bank. There are plenty of GPUs like the 1060 or RX580 that offer excellent performance at 1080p. Remember, it's all about having fun and enjoying the games you love! By the way, have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop spotless and maintaining peak performance. Let me know if you'd like more details! 😄
i just built my new rig, part of the fun was/is trying to push it further. I am enjoying myself, learning as i go, thanks to the videos from PC Centric, Jay, GN, and LTT.

The PC master race is a big factor for some. Long story short it's a moving goalposts. PC hardware updates extremely quickly. If you like having the best hardware or latest products. It's like running on a treadmill. If you're ok with having the best system money can buy today and it being beaten in the next 6 to 12 months. Then welcome aboard
Does that mean you can still player newer games or do have to upgrade say im not worried about the absolute best performance possible would that be okay?
CPUs matter just as much as GPUs either one being bottlenecked will reduce fps so make sure both can withstand similar performances to make sure your getting the most out of your system. Also I like how mentioned si and oem prebuilds so ppl wont waste their money if wanting to upgrade. Super helpful 👌 💯
@@jetski3208 Intel Core i7-12700K is prolly the way to go it'll max your performance without bottlenecking your gpu but if you like AMD more I'd go with a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X both are very good matches with the 3060 tho Not 100% but if your wanting to overclock your gpu you might want to consider a newer cpu with more cores so you don't bottleneck while overclocking
If you are getting into pc gaming then you need to expect that pc games are mostly unoptimized at least for the console ports. Always wait for the patch and reviews before buying saves you a lot of headache later down the road.
another great video! i have to admit that i was going way over the top with my recent build. but one of the most important and best part's about pc vs console is that a console is purely for gaming while you can literally do almost everthing with a pc. for example, since i got mine i play way more guitar and even learned playing the piano cause recording and playing with your own tracks is so easy and so much fun. also have to agree on the part where you said it's very satisfying to research, order, than build your own pc and it boots up and everything is running. still get's me almost every day then i start mine. but it drains my bankaccount hard. the pc itself, the electricity bill is very high (here in germany electricity is hell expensiv) and also some gadgets and peripherals add up (headset, new keyboard, gaming mouse, higher hz monitor, maybe a good controller for slower paced games, in my case audio interace and midi-keyboard and so on)
Love how he was comparing pc parts to car parts 😊. But building a pc is easy and hard. Easy to put everything together but the cables are a nightmare and difficult to figure out if not labeled and you don’t know what to look for. Would suggest getting a experienced person for the cable part.
Hey there! As a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I totally agree with your comment. Cable management can be a bit tricky, especially for beginners. If you find it overwhelming, getting help from an experienced person is a great suggestion. By the way, I recently came across a nifty device called the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule that could be handy for keeping your PC dust-free. It has some pretty cool features like powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Check it out! 😄
I planned on building my current PC myself until I compared prices and noticed that my local PC shop would buy, build and configure my planned setup for about 100€ more. So either build it myself and pay 3300€ for all the parts or order everything through the shop and get a 2 year guarantee and 2 years of full repair support in case something breaks for 3400€. If you have nothing to proof to anyone this is a better offer even for someone like me who is more than capable of building it.
As a recent console to PC convert- no one told me that there would be so many damn launchers. I buy from Steam but need the Ubi launcher, when launching from Steam? Why?
Hardest part is: connecting cables to the on off button.... Can be 6 small wires damn,they look the sameon the tip but colors red white black.... I had to go back to shop. .. no clue motherboard and cables from the case ...
When I heard GTA 6 will be 30fps on Xbox. That’s when I decided to pull the trigger and slowly buying gaming pc parts. Hopefully before next year I will have my RTX 4090 build.
I've been playing 30FPS on family PC's for the past decade so I think i'll quite literally boing out of my chair when I see how crazy the graphics look on my future gaming PC. Oh and how smooth it'll be too... 60FPS is so clean. I just hope that I get a PC that runs good for how much it costs and not buy something that I could've gotten for much cheaper with the same performance. So many brands and so many websites. Though i've quickly been able to grasp some of the important things when it comes to building a gaming pc thanks to PC Centric so thank goodness. I can actually understand what he is saying.
I recently bought a new case and had to transfer all of my components from my prebuild. It was the first time i had to “build” a PC. The hardest thing for me was the wiring. My AIO cooler had two wires, each fan has two wires (6 fans total), the PC case has 4 sets of wires. etc. My prebuild had a controller/hub which allowed me to connect the rgb for all of my fans and pump, but this was not intuitive at all. Finding the appropriate connection for all of these on the motherboard was difficult, primarily for the AIO cooler as i wanted to ensure the pump was running at all times and at a consistent rate. Id imagine a build without rgb and an aio cooler would be A LOT easier
i'm looking to buy a good prebuilt pc that looks clean from the outside and over time i upgrade the parts in it. I don't know much about pc but does anyone know any prebuilt pc that i should buy with the ability to upgrade them later?
What's your opinion on 6750 XT? I'm trying to come up with a system that will easily play most (if not all) modern jRPGs, and let me tell you, even if it's a niche line of titles, some still require one heck of a system. I chose this card because it seems like a pretty decent option, sort of a middle-of-the-road in terms of price but still has better performance over the 6700 XT.
Hey {{3}}, as a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I can totally understand your concerns about finding the right hardware for optimal performance. While the 6750 XT seems like a decent option, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop clean and tidy, and it offers multiple uses like car interior cleaning and even inflating items. Definitely worth checking out! 💪🖥️
The 6750XT is sick. For that mid-tier performance range (somewhere between a 4060ti and 3070), at least where I live in Canada, it's basically the best price-to-performance card that you can get new. The 12GB VRAM is also a big plus.
I have a rtx 3060 pr3ebuilt from ibuypower and their all-upgradable parts, also it has branded parts. the only thing is the cooler you would want to upgrade
Yo dude! Great vid. I want to get into pc gaming but have no clue what to do. I’ve never had a computer of my own and don’t know what everything does and means like the graphics card and other weird numbers and things. I just need a professional opinion on what would be good for me so I can save up for that stuff. Is there like a store or place where I can get like a opinion and help from a person that knows what they are doing?
Im completely clueless when it comes to the specs needed. How often am I going to have to spend a fortune to be able to play the latest games? All the jargon used for processors and graphics cards just sound like a foreign language to me. I play on console as its simple. I do want a decent PC though as I'm sick of seeing games I would love to play but then they only come out on PC. Am I going to spend money and then realise a year or 2 later that its not powerful enough anymore.
Hi. Loving the channel. Thanks. I’m looking to build a gaming PC purely for sim racing, Assetto Corsa and iRacing to name an initial two, but can’t find a suitable build spec anywhere. I’m also investing in a racing rig and would like the option to run three monitors. Would like the best quality regarding build spec but also need to keep budget in mind and don’t just want to go over the top and end up with an over spec machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I haven’t owned a pc in about 3-4 years, and as you know there has been countless cpu and gpu releases. I’ve been researching for about 5 months now and I’m still unsure. I play LOL, Rust, Warzone, and other multiplayer titles, I’m looking for a good combo that’s versatile without completely breaking the bank. In the mid range I suppose. Any help?
Me and my brother order a pc set up with table and chair and a decent size computer screen for 700 or so in total our first set up the pc itself is 490. been on mobile for so long now I'm exited
I'm thinking about transitioning from Xbox one S to a gaming PC which is something totally new for me. But the only reason is I want to experience Skyrim modded beyond its meager limitation on console, but have no clue do I merely have to meet Skyrim's recommended requirements for RAM and GPU or do I need to go 2x beyond??? Ps. Just before your joke's punchline I had an un- skippable ad, ruining the punchline
I'm not very familiar with the game, but it looks like it came out like 13 years ago. Pretty much any semi-modern PC from the past 5 years should be able to run it without many problems. In other words, if you're only playing Skyrim, you don't need the most powerful gaming PC money can buy.
Honestly with the parts available today you don’t need duel pc to stream and play you’ll get very little performance penalty when playing while streaming
hi mate grate video 👍 I have been building PC since 2000 the best advice I would give for a new builder is to buy parts New and check out the reviews as there's been a lot of sub standard parts out there I got court out with the 7900x3d and bios sending way to much power to the CPU to rap it up in one sentence do your home work before you buy parts
Hi , that’s my first visiting your channel and i found it amazing 🤩 I’ve never been good about tech things and therefore I was just searching for some good hints about having a gaming pc. I usually play quite a lot ESO online on my ps5 but have been told that by playing it on a gaming pc would give me much better image quality since I love role playing . So the question is what graphics card should I prioritise in order to have the best image quality possible? Thanks
THX for the educational & enjoyable videos, like this one in particular. As I'm considering in earnest to make a complete overhaul of my current mancave and convert it into a gaming-attic. This project, also a bit as a surprise for my youngest (14y) of 3 kids, looks daunting though as we are mainly console-players (PS5, Wii, Switch, etc.). I was wondering if any site/channel/you could for instance give a quick feedback based on the specs of my first build I'm considering; just to know if it makes sense at all for that kind of money... We're certainly not pro-gamers, just want to seriously up the experience. I'm considering a build including elements mentioned below; does this make sense? Looking to connect it to the Samsung Odyssey OLEDG9 -Intel i9-13900KF processor -NVIDIA RTX 4070Ti graphical card -NVMe SSD of 1TB -Cooler Master Masterliquid PL360 Flux AIO watercooling set -Windows 11 -NVMe SSD-storage of 1TB Or should I scrape it all from the whiteboard and spend it differently? THX for pointing me in the right direction!
I have a 12400F and a H610, thats the cheapest MB for LGA 1700. I would recommend you get a B660 minimum. What a B660 will give you that a H610 wont is the ability to run your ram above 3200mhz and the price difference is only around £30. If there is a possibility you will upgrade to a 12600KF or higher later, get a Z690. More expensive motherboards usually have more options for fans, faster PCIE storage, options for faster ram and better power delivery for top tier CPUs. I personally do not buy ASROCK motherboards. ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE are good in my opinion.
I finally took the plunge and got a Corsair 4000d airflow in black and put in some Lian li st120 fans that I had already in the front and moved the fans that came included up the top, plan is to get 7800x3d, Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard next and still debating what graphics card to go for? 🤔
@@priuskiller I don’t really have one, I want top performance so I can play any game at sky high frame rates as I play all kinds of genres but I don’t want one that I won’t see anymore performance from just coz it’s more expensive if that makes sense? It’ll be gaming only also if that helps, no recording or streaming/editing etc
Realize that Warzone does not look better but runs more consistent fps on ps5 then my pc with a 4090 and a i9 13900k. It’s the only game that does this :p
Awsome video! I've had my pc for about 4 years. I know they come out with new parts every year. But I just wish i knew more about the upkeep for pc. I've watched vidoes about how to clean Temps files and stuff on pc to get it to run faster. But do you have to change out parts on a pc every now and then? Or what if your running out of space for all your games from steam? I had figure out my cloud storage because it too full I guess so I switched all my data to external hardrives and that fixed the problem for now.
I agree with mostly everything except your point about entry to pc gaming being expensive. it is extremely cheap to enter pc gaming today. you can easily build a pc for $500-$600 with a used gtx 1070 that would be capable of playing some of the most demanding games at 1080p medium/optimized settings at ~60 fps. and if you are buying all new you can still easily build an $800 system with an rx 6600 that would be even better and would be capable of playing many games at even 1440p.
Guys I’m looking to buy my first pc all I need is something as smooth or smother than my series x and need to be able to run mods for beamng on the wheel
Looking to build my first ever PC and found these videos very useful. Didn’t realise the cost initially so it’s going to take me a few months to get the money saved. Am I better saving and buying all in one or buy bit by bit?
Unless you are going to buy bit by bit within your return windows or can test your parts as they come in buy all at once. I've seen way too many people buy say a motherboard and have it sit for a month and then not be able to return it when all their parts were in because the return window had closed.
I did it and it worked out just fine, with that being said for a first ever build probably just buy it all at once so you can return it if it doesn’t work
Can you please answer this question I'm about to run Steam and the Nexus mod manager with Skyrim will this be able to run a heavy load order and skse without any problems I'm kind of new. Im talking about the laptop you showcase earlier
Hi so I've built a pc with 5700g what card would you recommend i pair with it? Im looking at the rx 6600 as a strong contender. Id love to buy a different cpu but i dont know if i should be wasting more money on a whole new set up. Ive seen people say 5600 with rx 6600 but that means selling the 5700g.
how do i get the laptop it just gives me a lits of countries so i select cananada and then there a list of stores but when i click on one it doesn't give me the laptop its just the home page of the stores

but it drains my bankaccount hard. the pc itself, the electricity bill is very high (here in germany electricity is hell expensiv) and also some gadgets and peripherals add up (headset, new keyboard, gaming mouse, higher hz monitor, maybe a good controller for slower paced games, in my case audio interace and midi-keyboard and so on)
FYI, you can also use alternative stores for consoles to buy things like games, Gamepass, and PS Plus subscriptions.
Love how he was comparing pc parts to car parts 😊. But building a pc is easy and hard. Easy to put everything together but the cables are a nightmare and difficult to figure out if not labeled and you don’t know what to look for. Would suggest getting a experienced person for the cable part.
Hey there! As a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I totally agree with your comment. Cable management can be a bit tricky, especially for beginners. If you find it overwhelming, getting help from an experienced person is a great suggestion. By the way, I recently came across a nifty device called the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule that could be handy for keeping your PC dust-free. It has some pretty cool features like powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Check it out! 😄
I planned on building my current PC myself until I compared prices and noticed that my local PC shop would buy, build and configure my planned setup for about 100€ more. So either build it myself and pay 3300€ for all the parts or order everything through the shop and get a 2 year guarantee and 2 years of full repair support in case something breaks for 3400€. If you have nothing to proof to anyone this is a better offer even for someone like me who is more than capable of building it.
As a recent console to PC convert- no one told me that there would be so many damn launchers. I buy from Steam but need the Ubi launcher, when launching from Steam? Why?
EA launcher, blizzard, ubisoft, riot, epic.....drives me crazy.
same here it’s so annoying
1 mintue in and I already know this is the video I've been looking for for close to a month now
Your personal rig is beautiful
the "yea its a right pain in the, ask me how to get the most..." got it lmaoo good one
That transition at 9:43 was quite slick. Thought no one would catch it, did you? 🤣
been pc gaming for years, still will watch
Make sure you have a comfortable chair 1st. All the rgb and fps mean nothing if you can’t sit for longer then 10min to enjoy it😫
Fully agree. Decent chairs can be pricey, but they are worth the investment especially for people who work or game at a computer for a long time.

Thanks for the help, I've just gone from xbox series x and ps5 to pc and built it my self with your video
It’s still good to have consoles because sports games suck on pc.
Hardest part is: connecting cables to the on off button.... Can be 6 small wires damn,they look the sameon the tip but colors red white black.... I had to go back to shop. .. no clue motherboard and cables from the case ...
Thank you so much bro, I built my gigabyte EAGLE OC 4070ti from you! Thank you so much!
When I heard GTA 6 will be 30fps on Xbox. That’s when I decided to pull the trigger and slowly buying gaming pc parts. Hopefully before next year I will have my RTX 4090 build.
Gta not releasing on pc for long after consoles. So be prepared to wait forever
And advice on which graphics card I should get? I'm looking for one thats good for games such as Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Minecraft.
probably nothing too hard something like a 3060 or lower would be nice
You fogot to mention most pc games release broken nowadays .
This was a great video! 👍
I've been playing 30FPS on family PC's for the past decade so I think i'll quite literally boing out of my chair when I see how crazy the graphics look on my future gaming PC. Oh and how smooth it'll be too... 60FPS is so clean. I just hope that I get a PC that runs good for how much it costs and not buy something that I could've gotten for much cheaper with the same performance. So many brands and so many websites. Though i've quickly been able to grasp some of the important things when it comes to building a gaming pc thanks to PC Centric so thank goodness. I can actually understand what he is saying.
Researched for 3 months ..I'm happy with first build..got the bug now wanna build my kids 1
I recently bought a new case and had to transfer all of my components from my prebuild. It was the first time i had to “build” a PC. The hardest thing for me was the wiring. My AIO cooler had two wires, each fan has two wires (6 fans total), the PC case has 4 sets of wires. etc. My prebuild had a controller/hub which allowed me to connect the rgb for all of my fans and pump, but this was not intuitive at all. Finding the appropriate connection for all of these on the motherboard was difficult, primarily for the AIO cooler as i wanted to ensure the pump was running at all times and at a consistent rate. Id imagine a build without rgb and an aio cooler would be A LOT easier
So, is there any chance at building a decent gaming PC for less than $600?
i'm looking to buy a good prebuilt pc that looks clean from the outside and over time i upgrade the parts in it. I don't know much about pc but does anyone know any prebuilt pc that i should buy with the ability to upgrade them later?
thank you for the vid! i needed this one
What's your opinion on 6750 XT? I'm trying to come up with a system that will easily play most (if not all) modern jRPGs, and let me tell you, even if it's a niche line of titles, some still require one heck of a system. I chose this card because it seems like a pretty decent option, sort of a middle-of-the-road in terms of price but still has better performance over the 6700 XT.
Hey {{3}}, as a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I can totally understand your concerns about finding the right hardware for optimal performance. While the 6750 XT seems like a decent option, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop clean and tidy, and it offers multiple uses like car interior cleaning and even inflating items. Definitely worth checking out! 💪🖥️
The 6750XT is sick. For that mid-tier performance range (somewhere between a 4060ti and 3070), at least where I live in Canada, it's basically the best price-to-performance card that you can get new. The 12GB VRAM is also a big plus.
I have a rtx 3060 pr3ebuilt from ibuypower and their all-upgradable parts, also it has branded parts. the only thing is the cooler you would want to upgrade
Thank you
Yo dude! Great vid. I want to get into pc gaming but have no clue what to do. I’ve never had a computer of my own and don’t know what everything does and means like the graphics card and other weird numbers and things. I just need a professional opinion on what would be good for me so I can save up for that stuff. Is there like a store or place where I can get like a opinion and help from a person that knows what they are doing?
Im completely clueless when it comes to the specs needed. How often am I going to have to spend a fortune to be able to play the latest games? All the jargon used for processors and graphics cards just sound like a foreign language to me. I play on console as its simple. I do want a decent PC though as I'm sick of seeing games I would love to play but then they only come out on PC. Am I going to spend money and then realise a year or 2 later that its not powerful enough anymore.
Can you make another video on how to setup a gaming PC, step by step?
There's an abundance of pc build videos step by step. TechSource has a pretty good one from about a year ago.
i have a pc question is the hajaan breeze a good pc i dont know much about pcs and you seem like an expert
Why don't you fill your computer up with beans?
@@Supersammy22_290 huh
anyone tell which Cabinet show in this video 🙄🤐
Hi. Loving the channel. Thanks.
I’m looking to build a gaming PC purely for sim racing, Assetto Corsa and iRacing to name an initial two, but can’t find a suitable build spec anywhere.
I’m also investing in a racing rig and would like the option to run three monitors. Would like the best quality regarding build spec but also need to keep budget in mind and don’t just want to go over the top and end up with an over spec machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I haven’t owned a pc in about 3-4 years, and as you know there has been countless cpu and gpu releases. I’ve been researching for about 5 months now and I’m still unsure. I play LOL, Rust, Warzone, and other multiplayer titles, I’m looking for a good combo that’s versatile without completely breaking the bank. In the mid range I suppose. Any help?
This is a great guide!
Swimming trunks was crazy I was too high hearing that 😆
9:42 Cold from editor carl!!
Me and my brother order a pc set up with table and chair and a decent size computer screen for 700 or so in total our first set up the pc itself is 490. been on mobile for so long now I'm exited
Great video!
I'm thinking about transitioning from Xbox one S to a gaming PC which is something totally new for me. But the only reason is I want to experience Skyrim modded beyond its meager limitation on console, but have no clue do I merely have to meet Skyrim's recommended requirements for RAM and GPU or do I need to go 2x beyond???
Ps. Just before your joke's punchline I had an un- skippable ad, ruining the punchline
I'm not very familiar with the game, but it looks like it came out like 13 years ago. Pretty much any semi-modern PC from the past 5 years should be able to run it without many problems. In other words, if you're only playing Skyrim, you don't need the most powerful gaming PC money can buy.
awesome vid
Not me watching this whilst already knee DEEP into PC Gaming.
Great editing!!! lol
Great channel. I subscribed! 💻🎮
I’m looking to get into PC gaming but I’m not fully confident building my own for my first time can someone recommend me good prebuilt companies.
Would ❤ to see a dual system build for gaming and streaming ?
Honestly with the parts available today you don’t need duel pc to stream and play you’ll get very little performance penalty when playing while streaming
@@truckerwho7374 I wasn't concerned about drop in performance, more so being able to restart my computer during a game crash and keep a stream live
sweet video bro!
Do you have a video explaining how to get games ? Like steam walkthrough/setup, Bethesda,ea etc
YES A NEW VIDEOOOO
hi mate grate video 👍 I have been building PC since 2000 the best advice I would give for a new builder is to buy parts New and check out the reviews as there's been a lot of sub standard parts out there I got court out with the 7900x3d and bios sending way to much power to the CPU to rap it up in one sentence do your home work before you buy parts
I'm new to pc gaming, and your videos almost give me the confidence to go and build my own. However, could I buy one you have built on this channel?
"Oh, don't walk into that..." I don't know why but that had me laughing hard! 🤣🤣
Crypto Mining was the real reason gpu prices was crazy. Then they took the ability to do that away and thats when prices came back down .
Hi , that’s my first visiting your channel and i found it amazing 🤩
I’ve never been good about tech things and therefore I was just searching for some good hints about having a gaming pc. I usually play quite a lot ESO online on my ps5 but have been told that by playing it on a gaming pc would give me much better image quality since I love role playing .
So the question is what graphics card should I prioritise in order to have the best image quality possible?
Thanks
7:18 the guy who said alt f4 for overhead cam💀
THX for the educational & enjoyable videos, like this one in particular. As I'm considering in earnest to make a complete overhaul of my current mancave and convert it into a gaming-attic. This project, also a bit as a surprise for my youngest (14y) of 3 kids, looks daunting though as we are mainly console-players (PS5, Wii, Switch, etc.). I was wondering if any site/channel/you could for instance give a quick feedback based on the specs of my first build I'm considering; just to know if it makes sense at all for that kind of money... We're certainly not pro-gamers, just want to seriously up the experience.
I'm considering a build including elements mentioned below; does this make sense? Looking to connect it to the Samsung Odyssey OLEDG9
-Intel i9-13900KF processor
-NVIDIA RTX 4070Ti graphical card
-NVMe SSD of 1TB
-Cooler Master Masterliquid PL360 Flux AIO watercooling set
-Windows 11
-NVMe SSD-storage of 1TB
Or should I scrape it all from the whiteboard and spend it differently? THX for pointing me in the right direction!
Nice
Hey centric I was wondering if a motherboard affected your pc and if you have any recommendations for a i5-12400f processor
Budget build this week!
I have a 12400F and a H610, thats the cheapest MB for LGA 1700. I would recommend you get a B660 minimum. What a B660 will give you that a H610 wont is the ability to run your ram above 3200mhz and the price difference is only around £30. If there is a possibility you will upgrade to a 12600KF or higher later, get a Z690. More expensive motherboards usually have more options for fans, faster PCIE storage, options for faster ram and better power delivery for top tier CPUs. I personally do not buy ASROCK motherboards. ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE are good in my opinion.
Heh, nowadays PCs can be built at around £600-£700 in the UK, and even some prebuilts aren't that bad! c:
I finally took the plunge and got a Corsair 4000d airflow in black and put in some Lian li st120 fans that I had already in the front and moved the fans that came included up the top, plan is to get 7800x3d, Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard next and still debating what graphics card to go for? 🤔
What's yo budget for a graphics card? That's gonna be the determining factor for it.
@@priuskiller I don’t really have one, I want top performance so I can play any game at sky high frame rates as I play all kinds of genres but I don’t want one that I won’t see anymore performance from just coz it’s more expensive if that makes sense? It’ll be gaming only also if that helps, no recording or streaming/editing etc
@@Moody_Pants sounds like a 4090
@@markworsham874 nah 4080 or 7900xtx is enough if you could fine one at 1200 USD
or for the 7900xtx at 1000 USD
4090 kills those other two options. Get the best one that you can afford.
Expect mainly indie games with console ports being the best games pc get..
My biggest roadblock is spending a lot of money on a new pre-built, even though I already have a Xbox series X. Is it worth it?
Realize that Warzone does not look better but runs more consistent fps on ps5 then my pc with a 4090 and a i9 13900k. It’s the only game that does this :p
Awsome video! I've had my pc for about 4 years. I know they come out with new parts every year. But I just wish i knew more about the upkeep for pc. I've watched vidoes about how to clean Temps files and stuff on pc to get it to run faster. But do you have to change out parts on a pc every now and then? Or what if your running out of space for all your games from steam? I had figure out my cloud storage because it too full I guess so I switched all my data to external hardrives and that fixed the problem for now.
Can you suggest good specs for pc gaming/streaming i have a good budget
9:42 smooth
I agree with mostly everything except your point about entry to pc gaming being expensive. it is extremely cheap to enter pc gaming today. you can easily build a pc for $500-$600 with a used gtx 1070 that would be capable of playing some of the most demanding games at 1080p medium/optimized settings at ~60 fps. and if you are buying all new you can still easily build an $800 system with an rx 6600 that would be even better and would be capable of playing many games at even 1440p.
i know nothing about computers or pcs. I wanted to create a gaming channel but have no idea where to get a beginners gaming computer and a pc.
Guys I’m looking to buy my first pc all I need is something as smooth or smother than my series x and need to be able to run mods for beamng on the wheel
Can anyone tell me what parts I should get for a good gaming pc?
Define good.
What resolution are you looking for?
What type of games do you play?
🦾🔥 great job mate!
Looking to build my first ever PC and found these videos very useful. Didn’t realise the cost initially so it’s going to take me a few months to get the money saved. Am I better saving and buying all in one or buy bit by bit?
I would say save and buy all at once
But it depends on your because if you think you are going to then get distracted and buy other stuff maybe buy it a piece at a time
Unless you are going to buy bit by bit within your return windows or can test your parts as they come in buy all at once. I've seen way too many people buy say a motherboard and have it sit for a month and then not be able to return it when all their parts were in because the return window had closed.
I did it and it worked out just fine, with that being said for a first ever build probably just buy it all at once so you can return it if it doesn’t work
What’s the best PC you could buy the parts for and build for £1000?Essentially I want to build a pc that will play baldurs gate 3 on High.
I have 32gb ram, amd 7 7700, 4060ti 8gb. Is this a good build ?? Or should i upgrade
Me who’s been PC gaming for a couple years now: “Interesting”
Can you please answer this question I'm about to run Steam and the Nexus mod manager with Skyrim will this be able to run a heavy load order and skse without any problems I'm kind of new. Im talking about the laptop you showcase earlier
Hi so I've built a pc with 5700g what card would you recommend i pair with it? Im looking at the rx 6600 as a strong contender. Id love to buy a different cpu but i dont know if i should be wasting more money on a whole new set up. Ive seen people say 5600 with rx 6600 but that means selling the 5700g.
