As a PC builder for over 20 years Gem, I want to congratulate you on you're build 😊 You did an exceptional job.

[amshermansen]

You did amazing - None of the "mistakes" you made are anything seasoned builders wouldn't do by accident on occasion. (Though I'd definitely get that fan wire that clipped into the top fan on the first power on sorted asap)

One thing you could do is take the glass side panel down to a printer, and have them apply some decorative vinyl art on it. You can get material that looks like it's been etched into the glass that looks gorgeous when lit up. :)

This was actually surprisingly fun to watch!
I didn’t realize the true scale of that pc case until you set the monitor next to it

As a mum... THANK YOU! My son got to see someone working and trying and not focusing on being all that. You inspired him to try and do and learn as you go a bit. You are all kinds of amazing. You help kids to know it okay to not have it "all-together" before you try and that mistakes are okay . Side note you also did very well building your PC (lesson for son: it can still work out when you try). Thank you for being an example to the kids around the world.

You did a great job. The fact you started on the motherboard box shows you did great research 🙂 Also static isn't too dangerous now. High end conponents especially have protections in place. You would've need ALOT of static and ALOT of bad luck for something to happens.

Awesome build! I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but the 4090 12 pin cable has been somewhat infamous the past year for being a potential fire hazard (the worst I've seen is some melted plastic). It should be fine as long as you make sure it's fully plugged in without being twisted too much to either side (as long as you can't see any of the pins on the cable, you'll be fine).

Overall you're probably unlikely to be affected but it might be worth watching a video or 2 just to make sure!

Great work Gem :) 1st PC is always the scariest but knowing how to fix and replace parts is worth the trouble and the next one you build will be even more satisfying.

[YesItsTyler]

Gem, you did a fantastic job building the PC, especially for someone that hasn't done it before. Super fun video to watch, MSI is amazing as well, I use a lot of their products myself! Can't wait to see more streams and videos recorded from this PC!

[zachbrunstrup]

I never knew how PC's were built, this is so cool!❤

[gnome_friend]

Gem is great! You're one of the only people who could make a video like this enjoyable rather than anxiety-inducing for me; your voice and attitude are so calming.

[MrDontaco]

Awesome job at building your new PC. As someone who only builds one every few years, the biggest thing I always forget and want to let you know is to make sure you turn on the XMP profile in your BIOS to get the most out of your RAM. On most boards its off by default and throttles the RAM speeds.

[fireferet]

Excellent! Keeping the GPU in its silver bag was a great idea, that protects it from static. In the future, if you're worried about static, there are little wristbands you can buy that either plug into the wall, or clip to the case to add some security. Love PC part picker. Well done!

Gem with the create mod but IRL!! So excited to watch this one million times

[TheUnknownFactor]

I am honestly impressed you managed to get shots of you plugging in some of the cables where... honestly, even without a camera it's hard to reach some places and plug in the cables. Also, the cables _behind_ the motherboard being a mess is completely fine.

[schembrichild]

Gem this is amazing! So proud of how far you have come and how lucky you are to get free parts :)!!

[ShadowMech]

I built 3 of my own PC's and each time it was still a scary process but very enjoyable! You did a fantastic job!

This build was such a relaxing, chilling and satusfying thing to watch! <3
Seems, like you didn't have much trouble at all? But, I'd bet, you felt all but calm!!! ;-)
