[llewellynbradleyanthony]

As someone who doesn't have the necessary know how... I'm really excited for this series. Thank you!

[.ucypher]

I was looking through your channel and I'm preparing to build my first pc in a month so this is really helpful, thank you!

[leroyjenkins]

Can you do a non gaming pc build like a budget home pc to mid range home pc?

[alsnow]

life saver i was about to make many mistakes

[nickmuna]

This was incredibly informative and helpful. Giving me more and more confidence in building my first pc. I have a pre built one and love it but had my eye on one that i created. Thank you so much for your content

Just the video I was looking for right now lol

[Indecisive]

Nice video, well explained actually learned a few things!

Hey Markus, you sure did show us a good bit of PC components from which to choose from! Getting them to match up with each other might be the tricky part. You always make it look easy to build the PC, but for some of us, it may not be that simple. 😅😊

One thing to note on the PSU especially the Corsair RMe - as I’ve just had to return one is to check the # of PCIE cables supplied so that if you’re pairing it with a beefy GPU you don’t have to use a split cable with 1 end unattached next to the single PCIE cable. It was triggering.

[itsdeonlol]

Great video! You explained everything good with details!

[espressoshot]

Great video!! Always love your content 🔥

But I have to say that the color grading for your vids look a bit washed out these days?

[ncjones]

Im just looking to use one mainly for survival type games (minecraft, ARK, etc, as I hate online multiplayer games like COD). What CPU/GPU combos are best??

[LegendRockPlot]

I got the RTX 4070 super the other day paired it with the 5800x on a B450 elite and my games propper stutter not sure what i need to upgrade to get rid of the stuttering any advice? I got the RM850eWatt power supply

[brianclayton]

so if I run virtual machines, streaming, and gaming simultaneously, I would want more than 8 cores?

Hi Marcus. I'm looking to a massive update from an old HP compaq i5 4th gen with 12gb and a low profile 1050 ti. I'm thinking a 12400f, msi b760-p ddr4 with possiblity an intel a750. I have some new ddr4 ram 32GB 3200 cl16 and I'm trying to control the price. Its to run games on high at 1080p mincraft, world of tanks, world of warships maybe tarkov etc. Anything other options would be great. Thanks ps great videos 👍

AIOs are a complete waste of money unless you're overclocking. The cost is not offset by the miniscule difference in cpu temps over air coolers. Not even close.
