The timing of this video... Spent six hours today researching different parts for a new build. Thank you Jay for an updated version of one of these vids.

Really appreciate videos like this Jay. I built my computer in late 2018. Given that it's turning 4 this year, I'm looking at what it would cost for a new system and hand my primary system down to my daughter.

I love building computers, but I don't have time to keep up with all the changing tech. This video really helped me home in on what to look for. I tend to build at the high end every 4-5 years. Wonderfully overkill for what I need it for, but always something I've absolutely enjoyed.

Thanks for your time and expertise helping us hobbyists stay updated!!

This video is amazing. I built my rig in 2014 and have been thinking about upgrading/replacing. The current computer parts landscape is an absolute mess with GPUs, but this is such a great starting point to relearn the state of pc tech. Thank you!

I am building a new system for my parents, who haven't upgraded their PC in like 15 years. I was just looking at some current stuff and your video just walk through it amazingly. You are saying all the exact right things of considerations that I was looking for, for my parents. Thanks!

The M.2 NVME was a game changer for me. I bought the SSD just for Windows & programs and the boot-up speed is incredible.
Will upgrade my 1TB HDD to SATA SSD in the future as well.

Yes Jay, definitely start doing Ultrawide testing as well! I usually assume the 1440p performance and take away 25-30% (given linear scaling, which I know is not exactly true/real).

I have been running an i5 3450 for the last 10 years, now was too confused what to buy in order to build a new pc, your video helped me understand what my requirements are and what I need to build now. Thank Jayz

[danieledwards]

Thank you for making this type of video, I used the older one to outline my own build, and I recommend this video to any people who ask about first-time pc building!

[BryantCaudill]

OMG Jay you are the FIRST person I've heard mention yet the the feel and issues in Windows and I think that's a HUGE thing to know and consider. Thank you for all your work for us through this buy time!!!

[Jay-hedw]

I upgraded this month from a i5 4690k and a r9 290x. To a 5600x and a 3060ti. More than satisfied. It’s a huge jump to me.

Out of all the video's I have watched in the last 2 weeks because I am building a new PC after 5 years. Jay, This video made the most sense to me. Thank you brother. 👍👍

This video exemplifies why you are such a good you tube channel, eloquently spoken with a good connection to people that are on older hardware.

[SpicyDisco]

These are the videos I like! Built my current rig 6 years ago and looking to build a new one. Videos like this are helpful when considering what parts I should be thinking about buying.

[drribeirinh]

boy do i love your videos Jay! you were the one who inspired me to built my first PC at 27 years old as a Physician with PC interest! Thank you so much for that

[Robonord]

Brilliant video and you really know your audience as I'm doing EXACTLY what you outlined: limbering up to build something new to replace my 8 year old geriatric (i7-4790K, GTX 980) and I've been flip flopping between AMD and Intel. This video has helped me decide AMD is the way to go for me (will be my first!), as I'm looking to keep this new build for a long time and upgrade it as I need to. Thanks very much!

[kevinhall]

love this presentation style, cut through the hype. also great point about ultrawide monitors, I'm glad you mentioned that

[digigamer]

Hey, Jay, I'm here to thank you! In the moment I am rocking a 2015 pre-built by Lenovo. It has crazy specs like a GTX 1050, an Intel core-i5 6400, and a hard drive, it runs so well that it hitches when I produce my music in Reaper! well, all jokes aside, your videos and others alike help me a lot to clear the air and give tools to equip me when I finally have the money to pull the trigger! When it comes to music production having a higher clock speed is very beneficial to processing sound. So, when I look at these new clock speeds I salivate, can't wait to taste the performance.

[mordorson]

Really appreciate you mentioning us Ultrawide users! Benchmarks for 3440x1440 would definitely be pretty useful for me as that's the panel size I settled on.

Building my first PC around Christmas time and I've slowly been getting the parts together. Your channel has been super helpful, thank you for everything you do!

[sherrilltechnology]
