Me wanting a pc but know absolutely NOTHING about them...

Everyone: well u see this is the GPU or the graphics card what this does is set your frame rate to a cellular ppg 20 gig frame rate at a speed of 30 ssd speed in an alternate universe through car generation freezing time and making lots of dogs eat grass in the ocean

[misterchipper]

Here are the contents of a pc described as body parts

Cpu- The brain, it makes the pc a pc.
Psu (power supply)- The heart, gives power to everything.
Motherboard- The body, all things are connected to the motherboard and needs a decent psu to live, nothing to weak or powerful.
Gpu(graphics card)- Really I can't compare it to a body part, it makes games run smooth in short.
RAM- memory space for the brain to use all at once
Ssd or hard disk- Storage for all of your things like games, pictures, videos, etc.

Note: ram is to run multiple things at once and ssd or Hard disks are for space for things you aren't using.

That's how I see pc components so I don't confuse new people to pc's.

Who else has the money to easily get a midrange gaming PC but like me, has not got one yet because they have no idea where to start.

[kevinuscanga]

Power supply = vigor
Motherboard = strength
Cpu = intelligence
Gpu = faith
Ram = endurance
Ssd or hard drive = arcane
You’ll be lucky enough to have space

What I’ve learned so far:

Lights make your PC better

The more fans on your boxes the better

Put thermal paste on a square, somewhere

“That’s probably quite a good joke there.” Me: Wait he made a joke

[GreenMoustache]

Fun to watch this as entertainment even though i know how to build a pc.

[adanesi]

Thanks to you, this dad will come through with a kick ass birthday gift for my kid. I'm slowly getting into the building of them and this video kickstarted it. Thanks!

[brandomorphin]

Dude legit did a great job explaining everything, I know nothing about pc but i really got an itch to build one here lately. Every video I’ve watched has just been like “this part real good, this part go here, click link below ok Where as this guy explains what the parts are, what they do, what they’re capable of, why you should or shouldn’t use them, and why they’re important.This really helped make up my mind to build a pc. I feel like I’ve learned something.

Me watching this vid and not understanding a word 👁👄👁

[Code_Machine]

I liked the video, but you seemed to have entirely ignored a very important aspect when choosing your parts and that is compatibility issues. I've never done this before and I am inexperienced in it, but a lot of experienced people have told me that some parts CAN be incompatible with each other and it can be a very real issue. I don't know if it's true, but you might seeing as you made a video on building a pc. Thoughts?

[mattbrown]

Thank you for this, I needed the education and am having a tough time with repair people. I was out of gaming for years and when things started going wrong I ended up getting fleeced. This is a huge help and very well done! ❤❤❤

[cottonclxud]

Me zoning out during this so i have to watch it all over again 👁👄👁

[lowkejp]

Such a great vid, I’ve been looking forward to building a gaming pc but I didn’t know what parts to get and this vid helped me a lot, Thank You!👍🏼
