Literally have all my parts now and have been worried to get started but this just saved my day! Will be building it this week! Wish me luck y’all!

[clixen]

I just finished building my first pc a week ago. Wish I had this guide to help me!

[KiroPkFun]

You save my day. Just build my first pc on my own. life saver bro ❤

[charlieaustin]

Actually very well put together vid, especially for beginners but even vets alike that need a refresh with the new hardware thats come out keep it up

[mikeallen]

Thanks for doing this video. Just doing my first build and it’s helped big time 👍

[daviniarobbins]

The power motherboard connectors: It doesn't matter which way you plug in the power and reset switch headers they will work either way. The LEDs however if plugged in the wrong way won't light up but this won't destroy the LEDs. If there is no lights when you power on your PC just switch it off and plug them in the other way and they will be fine.

And don't daisy chain more than 4 fans to one motherboard fan header as there won't be enough voltage.

[undeadhollow]

Holy crap. I've spent hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. I searched up and down and couldn't figure out the problem and after God knows how long, I found it. I swapped the damn power and reset plugins.

This video came in clutch my pc parts came 2 days ago

[littlefortnitelegend]

I just bought a pc and this video is so helpful. Thank you

[TC_ReflexYT]

what if my pc was turned off but my psu was still turned on and at the rams full speed it would have weird video glitches but just under its mhz (3533) it would be find, and then i got a new gpu which didn't work under load and just made my pc restart, was it my psus fault? and did leaving the psu on while adding the ram break my psu?

[B-Ware]

Amazing video. Answering questions I didn't even think to ask. Now I know that those m2 locks are for ssd drives.

[rpete]

im building my first pc and im curious can i plug in an rgb fan header also my power for my case and an ssd all to one sata power cable or should i plug those into three seperate sata power cables?

[robledosieteseis]

This video is goated bro. I was stuck with the little cables and this video explained very good even if i do not share any of the components.
