First PC Building Experience

This is not the last PC building guide you'll ever need, but if you're looking for how to build an AMD gaming PC that's also good for video editing, you can follow me as I build my own desktop PC for gaming with an AMD processor and graphics card.

I stopped watching PC assembly videos like 3 years ago. But for some reason I watched this entire video without a skip. Good work!

[shmoud]

Geez that SSD instalation made sent chills down my spine

The best (probably unintentional) PC-building tutorial on YT. Great job!

“I heard Linus say” the most reputable source😂

Considering you’re a first time builder, like myself, you actually made this experience way easier to understand than most of the pros! I felt like you were speaking my language as a first timer and included EVERYTHING I needed to know. Thank you so so much

[nadtz]

Well done for a first time build. Solid no nonsense PC that met your needs.

one of the best 1500$-1600$ budget gaming PCs i have seen, great job on the parts selection, it's nearly perfect.

If windows doesnt have the ethernet or wifi driver you can connect ur pc to ur android phone with a USB cable and enable USB tethering in Android and now windows will have internet connectivity so u can download drivers.

[Koozoie]

The fact that even though in this video you were still a new to this whole pc thing, and yet you explained things better than most *tutorials* out there, good work man!

Great job building your first PC man, welcome to the club! I built a few pc's and I have some notes that might help.
13:35 Daisy chaining PCI-E power like this is a bad idea. You should use two separate power cables because one of those can only handle 150W. Your GPU can go as high as 300W. You will probably be fine overloading it since you got a high quality psu - but it's better to be safe than sorry!
15:48 There's no reason to partition an SSD for OS. People used to do it on HDDs to have their OS on the outer side of the spinning disc which is faster. It can cause you problems since all the drivers and os updates will be forced to that (C:) partition. Even some programs refuse to install somewhere else than on C. You should be ok with that 100GB though, you'll see if it causes you any trouble.
23:20 The coil whine usually happens when your GPU outputs high FPS. For me it occurs at 500+ (usually just loading screens for me lol). If it really annoys you, you can get rid of it by limiting your framerate. You probably won't see a difference if you set it to 300 FPS.

I’ve built over 40 gaming PCs in my time (personal use and resale for spreading the hobby) yet I still find myself watching videos like this. Good job btw! Although personally not switching to windows 11 yet lol

You're a very good explainer, I think a lot of us IT-folk that have built our own PCs cant really explain the difficulties because we built our first PCs in middle school - couldn't really explain back then; can't remember now. You're going through the different phases of this late enough you already have a good sense for how to explain what you're doing. I think that's a great recourse for many kids and others that are considering building their own PCs.

Props!

Actually great tutorial, ive watched alot of pc building tutorials and this is by far one of the best.

One tip for you, your card is a very high end card that consumes good amount of power, i advise you to buy an extra pcie cable for your gpu (very very important for it to match the psu brand and cable type). That insures that your card gets enough power, and i strongly believe it would reduce if not eliminate the gpu coil whine you’re hearing.

The main reason for this tip is that a single pcie cable supplies up to 175 watts, the motherboard gpu slot supplies 75 watts, you used a pig tail cable ( the split cable in the gpu) this doesn’t make the cable supply more power magically, though its totally fine for a lower-mid range card, an extra cable would give you the sufficient power needed. Excellent video and i hope i helped someone.

literally the best pc building video ever made, its gonna help me so much in a month when I'll be building my own pc. KEEP IT UP

[PrincessofKeys]

Its nice seeing another first time builder build their own pc. Im still on the process of getting all of my pc parts before I can do that though. Gives me conference to try it myself.
In all doesn't seem too hard if you follow the instructions and carefully put it together which is good!

[NostraDavid]

All in all, congrats with your new PC, and congrats on this excellent guide on how to build a PC!

[ItzFyliop]

I'm still in the 7th minute and I alr knew how to build PCs, BUT, you basically resumed every single youtube tutorial in one so great job, I will recommend this video to anyone who wants to build their own PC. so much value in this video. what u are saying in one video, I had to go through 3 or 4 that are longer to get the same information. well done (my english isn't my 1st language so apologies xD)

I have some tips for your build:
9:40 The usb-c connector (type E connector) only goes in one way. Notice how one of the edges is wider than the rest. Specifically, at 9:45 you can see how the pins are slightly off-center.
10:40 NC is short for no-connection, meaning that pin is just a piece of metal used to fill out empty space (it's there so other connectors can't be plugged in). As it is, the reset switch is not functional and instead needs to be connected to RSTCON# and Ground (notice the two lines below these words at 10:42).
11:05 I happen to have the same case as you (except white). The 3.5" hard drive "shelves" can be entirely removed from the case so you have more room to work with the power supply. It also results in an opportunity for better airflow (not that it really matters down there).

This video that randomly appears on my feed a month after it was uploaded is unironically better than any PC Assembly video I searched for. Thanks man! Haven't built a PC yet but this video gives me the confidence to try. It's also nice to see where can things can go wrong or easy mistakes to make in the process.
