i got a 165 hz monitor abt 2 years ago for my pc, and just found out abt like 4 months ago that i never changed it to 165, so mad i didnt know abt it😂

Great tips, especially number 4. I just dusted out my PC with compressed air a few days ago. Good Old Games (GOG) is also a great place to get games for good prices, plus they have some current stuff. Right now they have their autumn sale on. They also have weekly sales. PlayStation and Xbox also always have sales on to be fair, and some of them are excellent. No need to pay $60+ for games if you don't want to on most any platform. I was a PC gamer first and foremost but later started playing shooters on consoles. Took a while to get really good with a controller but practice was key. However, I'm still better with keyboard and mouse than I am a controller with shooters.

[DaisyHollowBooks]

Good information. I’m just starting out, so these are good things to know.

[ItsGasMaskMan]

Thanks mate! Just got my first pc today, great tips!

[LittleDiamond]

Thanks for the info I can’t wait to play and y’all of the fields of what ever world we play on see y’all there

[Solothedrunk]

These are all great tips, even one or two I didn't think of. I've been in a PCGMR for a long time and didn't think of some things! One tip that was super great was cleaning your PC. There is a MAJOR CAVEAT THERE THOUGH! MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT LET YOUR FANS SPIN FREELY when you blow air through them. Another tip here is to (IF POSSIBLE) do it outside.

This vid was really helpful! i’ve wanted to buy a pc this year so this video is great! btw, is it possible you could do a 1500$ budget pc setup? it would be really appreciated

[davedyer]

Thank you the info./ tips. I'm an veteran PC Gamer/ Builder, and still find this videos information useful.

[PeytonToenjes]

Glad to see you're back, man! Your old videos used to be on repeat when I first got into setup building!

[jublywubly]

Those are great tips. Thanks for making this video.
Personally, I can't stand using the letters as directional controllers. I always game with my left hand on the mouse while using the arrow keys for directions and the keys above those for weapons options and activate/open.
I've been trying to find a small stand-alone gaming keyboard to use instead of my full keyboard, but I can only find one that is for left handed use and another one that has the portion of a regular keyboard with the letters used for game controlling on it. I saw a great stand-alone controller years ago, but I can't find anything like it now.

One thing I found that helped is playing games like roblox phantom forces or skills with a lower skill barrier than say fortnite or call of duty. This helps to get muscle memory while you also may be having fun

[mrmachai]

Thank you for introducing me to pc gaming

[Sgt_Seagull]

came by this video while researching for pc gaming. About to get into it so i wanna make sure i know what im doing, thanks for the tips!

Noctua air coolers are better than AIO coolers. I used to run custom loops and was top 10 ranked for a while so, I know what I'm doing. With that said, either is generally an upgrade over stock cooling. Noctua coolers don't have the potential to leak water and don't have a pump that can fail. They support new brackets for mounting and their units can be reused over multiple generations. It's where the smart money lies.

[NerdAtWork]

You earned yourself a like sir. I havent finished the video but i did not know about changing the refresh rate in the display settings

[Solidmorph]

When cleaning pc with aircan or anything that blows air at high psi be cautious where you point it and how close you do. It may cause damage to hardware. Don't let the fans spin freely either since that can cause issues with your components.

What would u advise about getting a Rog ally steam deck? For example what makes a game a mid tier game and what makes a game top end. I'm sure it's minimal requirements like minimal ram and vram etc but what popular game won't be able to be played on rog ally x etc. And what tip you have on to look before bying a mobile PC since they are getting popular

[RobbyC]

I remembered when I got my first gaming pc, the first game I bought was Java edition Minecraft. I didn't wanna spend the amount of money that it would've originally costed me (even though it wasn't expensive, at the same time I didn't wanna spend close to $30 on a game that came out over 10 years ago) so I bought a CD key for about $15ish or so. Best $15 I've ever spent on a game

good advice: if you have a very old pc laying around or borrow a friends’s computer and feel free to remove and reinstall the cpu, the cooler, the ram, ssd, gpu, un plug and plug cables back in anything that you can, so you can get pc building experience and not having to worry about breaking your expensive hardware, also, watch enough pc building tutorials until you feel like you can do it without a problem, and lastly, be patient, building a pc and setting it up takes a while, take 5-10 min breaks every time you’re having a bit of trouble or you’re struggling with something.
