I already have a Gaming PC but I still love watching build guides like this! Thank you, Greg!

Here after the Playstation 5 Pro reveal.

This video literally came at the perfect time- the last of my pc parts just arrived this morning and I am now ready to build my entry level gaming pc!

[mikemarkong]

that's true. a refresher is always a great idea for our hobby. There's so much happening in the case/system, that there's always a chance to forget the IO shield, CPU cooler sticker, forget to connect the front panel switches, and so much more!

as many others watching this Video that have build dozens of PCs and could do it blindfolded, its still somehow addicting watching someone Build a PC

If you live near a Micro Center you can just keep an eye on the GPU open boxes. I managed to find a Gigabyte Eagle RX 6600 for $135 with a free copy of Starfield last year. Absolutely wild deal.

That was some slick camerawork. Really enjoyed the well done closeups.

Coo build Greg. I got an used 11400f for $68 shipped this spring for a family members build.

[ShhTime]

for a first build buying new is recommended but if you have a experienced friend/buyer of used parts, buying used is such a good value, I upgraded almost all of my build by buying used parts

[modelcitizen]

How refreshing to see someone applying exactly the right amount of thermal paste 😅

[NTrekkie]

I have some disagreements with the parts you chose. namely the 12400F is only $110 at time of posting, and a tower cooler will be quieter and cooler than the downdraft chosen

[adil-blue-blood]

I learned a lot from your content and still learning thanks to you from Morocco❤

[mayorplayz]

I already built my Gaming PC 2 months ago but I love watching guides like this, its great for new builders! Thanks Greg!

[MarlenePantyhose]

Is it only my mind or looks Greg somehow like Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters with this haircut.😂

[Tomazack]

That low profile cooler is an odd choice for such a PC case. Why not the Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO? Dirt cheap and plenty of cooling for that CPU.

[ShinGoukiSan]

Yeas ago when I worked for Godaddy they bought retail Intel CPUs in bulk for some reason (I guess they got them cheaper that way instead of buying them in trays). every month or so I would have to debox them and put the CPUs in Trays and the amount of Stock Coolers we tossed was insane!

[arod]

Greg can you do an after build setup doing like the bios and recommendations for downloads for reading your computer

[johnfritz]

Greg, for the price of the cable extensions you could have purchased a PCIe to M.2 adapter and used a much faster NVME SSD.

[timnevitt]

i have built many gaming pcs but i still like watching u do it haha
