I can’t believe it’s 4 years already. I listen to your 2020 guide and built my first PC then fell down the rabbit hole of computers and now got a job as an IT Technician.

So all I can say is Thank You for inspiring me. It’s kinda lame when I typed it out but I mean it.

Hey Austin. A time silent subscriber here. Prolly my very first comment here on your channel. Used to watch you 1080TI builds since 2015 -2016 (university days). Building a PC has been my 9 year dream. And I can finally be happy to say that I built my own PC (with 0 knowledge), yesterday with the same cabinet and liquid cooler. All I have to say are four words. THANK YOU SO MUCH. From Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India ❤

Thanks for this vid. My son is currently following along as he builds a pc. Suffering from anxiety, deppression etc it is good to see him enjoying something and gaining a sense of self achievement.
Thanks again.

Been watching pc building tutorials for the past 2 months in preparation for my new build and I must say this is one of the most informative and comprehensive videos I’ve ever watched on the subject. Definitely gained a new sub!

Ok I know there are quite a few channels that show you how to build a pc, but Austin's teaching is super easy to follow and he explains the process so that dummies like me can understand it. My next pc I will build myself and I will watch this video again to do it. Thank you Austin.

30 years PC technician here. The components you should not skimp on 1st is your PSU ( Power Supply ), second component your motherboard

As of this video, I built my first PC using last year's guide from you exactly a week ago and honestly dude, can't stress "thank you" enough. You were clean, thorough, explained everything needed and this build went without a hitch! Major props to you, Austin, and thanks again, dude!!! ✨

i dont know if its just me but its so satisfying watching these types of videos of austin building pcs. or when the crew compete against each other like in broke vs pro

[fone]

I began watching Austin's PC build videos in about 2019, but I finally built my first computer this past Winter holiday. Thanks Austin!

[Absman]

Damn it i'm in 2025 what should I do?

[noelechevarria]

One of my favorite type of videos on this channel. This is what actually made me build my own PC back in 2020. Thank you Austin. Keep making great content like always.

This video is a gem even for non first time builders. I build my first pc when i was 14 back in the beginning of the 90's and things have changed so much since then. Big thanks to you and all the team worked behind the camera.

All tech YouTubers have great build guides, but, Austin is probably the one that really guides you by your hand to every step and aspect of the build.
Also, this was probably the most relaxing build tutorial that I have ever seen. Without any detrimental bias towards any of your colleagues on the YouTube platform, Mr Austin Evans you are the best. Doesn’t hurt to be the most relatable one of them all. 😊

Wanted to say thanks so much for the video. Just finished my first ever gaming pc build from scratch. Didn't have these same parts, but your video made it easier for me to understand everything going on with the parts I did get. Amazingly, everything worked great from the start. Much appreciated!

[MrWow]

This is an amazing tutorial. I originally subscribed to watch Austin’s PC builds at different price points ($500, $700, $800, etc.) back in the day so pretty stoked to see another PC focused video.

Watching this in preparation for my first build in 2 or 3 days. 4080 super and 7900 x3d. Wish me luck yall

[soledroid]

FINALLY someone who actually did a good job building a pc video for beginners that does a great job explaining for beginners. Ty for explaining every port on a motherboard.

[mattandsarahaschan]

Did I, an IT major with plenty of experience both building and repairing PCs, just spend 3 hours watching a "how to build a PC" video? Yes, yes I did.
Did I enjoy every minute of it? Yes, yes I did

[.Era.]

What an amazing video! I’ve been watching you since 2014, around 10 years old and here I am, 2024, 19, and finally built my first PC, and I could not thank you enough for everything you’ve done. This video and many others inspired me to get on the PC build grind, so thank you for everything man. Have a good one

Nice to see a realistic PC Build video.

Just replaced my 3060 with a 4070 Super and had no idea about the new power connector. The MSI Card I bought recommends not to use the PCIE Splitter cable (came with my Corsair 650w)to the adapter. So I found a Corsair replacement that just has the one new connector straight to two PCIE power ports on the power supply.
