he forgot to tell his listeners to just download more RAM incase they run out.

[unsortedguy]

They disabled comments...wtf

They should thank those people who called them out and correct it with a new video instead.

[Kyle-pjvc]

Can we all appreciate that anti static wristband that isn't grounded anywhere, so it's essentially a PC builders fashion statement.

[kylefer]

Man that video is a prime example of what happens when people lie on their resume.

[Darx]

We should report the video as being misleading

[erik-fxn]

They deactivated comments and the like to dislike ratio. Top class journalism here folks

Mistakes made:
- Brings swiss army knife, but uses screwdriver anyway
- Calls cable ties a tweezer
- 'Antistatic' wristband
- Installs mobo into case before cpu
- Installs ram wrongly
- Says it doesn't matter which slot for gpu
- Installs cpu cooler before mobo
- Forgets to install cpu cooler backplate
- Messes up cpu installation by putting the plastic installation helper thing underneath the cpu clamp
- Splooges thermal paste around the outside of the cpu, missing the centre
- Heatsink had thermal paste pad on it already...
- Doesn't put fans on cpu radiator
- Uses wrong screws (the fan screws) for radiator installation
- Plugs in all cables into modular psu, even though he only needs about 3 of them
- Says psu needs to be installed on the damping pads for electrical isolation
- Installs psu so that fan is blowing into back plate of mobo
- Does zero cable management... he forgot to use his 'tweezers'.
- Plays league against bots and is loosing.

"Definitely not gonna hold up for battlefield 5", Plays league of legends on a $2000 pc and still loses to a bot

Was waiting for this response. The algorithm really loved pushing this video.

He didn’t have any RGB in that build. No wonder he was playing in 1080p we all know you need RGB for 4K.

[Bitwit]

Amazing job, Greg! Lyle will be following in your footsteps soon. :)

He’s not fighting static, he’s fighting cancer!

Bet they regret that.

He said, "This PC is going to benchmark games for the VERGE". I will never trust any benchmarks coming out of the VERGE Lol

[zanewinter]

This video saved my PC, I was about to put my power supply in the PC and cause everything to short circuit but now it's completely wrapped in Flex Seal tape to make sure nothing gets damaged

[JackVania]

Verge/Vox is striking channels with this video. Stay sharp, bro.

[redleader]

The thermal paste sandwich did me in.

I can't believe they pulled this off WITH a major sponsor on the video. What a disaster.

The LEAST they could have done was just look up the 6+ year old Newegg videos and just replicated the process, christ.

[JackLe]

Not only does the power supply already touch the side of the case, it is also mounted onto the case with METAL SCREWS. I think my computer is gonna blow up any second now.

[sebas]

When i saw it i thought it was a troll tbh

[xRemRooodx]

The video is now deleted. :D and they blame it on racism.
