The genuine look of being nervous was plastered all over your mates face. Glad you've converted another person over to the "PC master race" Cheers for the great content!

[Shwadeybabe]

Building PCs is by far one of the best hobbies I've picked up. Will always have one around. It's really cool to see how rapidly the community is growing. Hopefully he enjoys it!

[SrgtWookieD]

A year ago I was your friend. That look of genuine amazement and excitement playing a game at anything over 30fps. I love that you allowed him to make a mistake and then explained in simple wording why he needed to change something. The display cable got me the first time too. I was so worried about making everything else perfect I didn't even think about my cable being plugged into the motherboard. 2hrs of Google later and I fixed it lol

[yestixz]

Not even kidding this helped me understand the components and the whereabouts that each piece needs to be. 10/10 video!

[dillonencinia]

I’d never been into PC’s, but then my buddy influenced me to build one within the span of a few days.
It then took me like 8 hrs to build one, trial and error.

[gamedokter]

Building it isn't the hard part. The hard part is figuring out which parts you should or can use. I tried customizing a pc and I had absolutely no idea what motherboards work with what CPUs or things like that.

[TDDFTHR]

Aw, man. All of the wholesomeness! Great job, guys. Really appreciate the post-assembly Q&A describing expectations vs. reality as I've not built a PC before either. This has reduced some of my trepidation.

[neroclaudiuscaesaraugustuse]

When I was younger, I thought building PCs was extremely complicated and involved many tools. Turns out I was wrong according to the internet. You just buy the components and assemble them. (I have never built one before)

[aristontrusty]

This video is perfect for real. You should do more of these with varying components and specialties with new people! It’d be an awesome series!

[jacryder]

halfway through this definitely looks a lot easier than i imagined.
it's hilarious seeing how careful he is with the components, reminds me of me at work using tools.
on that point it helps you've used a complete novice to actually do the steps, often experts speed thru without appreciating the sheer lack of knowledge beginners have.
good banter, feels very informative i'll only know if i try to build myself, how much info i've retained and understand.
finally, after spending about 15 mins searching 'how to play games on a laptop' I'm relieved i've found exactly what I was looking for in your channel. happily subscribed

I loved this! The humor mixed with the incredible knowledge you share is priceless. Great info and amazing delivery to make the learning process enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

[-E-F-E]

We are all born knowing nothing, only with a curious mind and the help of other people can we learn anything.

Great to see your mate wanting to learn something new, and great to see he has a capable and patient teacher in yourself, you have a new subscriber.

Keep it up!

[geckoicaza]

Absolutely stellar video. So much help for someone trying to build a PC for the first time in a long time.

[gavinhall]

I love the tone of your videos - as technical as anyone could ask for but remaining light-hearted and amusing all the while. Great video buddy.

[alexsantos]

Thank you PC Centric for your time and effort for making these videos! Because of this, I’ll be able to be more confident in going to a shop and pick out parts knowing I could do this myself for the first time!

[alexharkettsimracing]

That’s a nice thing to do for a mate. Great vid. I recon I could just about build a pc now after watching many of your videos, just the cables that’d fox me a bit I think.

[basedcrackerboi]

just finished building my 1st gaming pc. I wish i had tried it sooner. I think people just see all the hardware and get inside their head thinking they could not possibly configure all that together and it becomes overwhelming for them. I was one of those people super nervous and Im not going to lie I ended up purchasing a gaming laptop first about a year ago bc I could not get myself to the point of being able to build my own pc but I eventually got all that junk out of my head and made myself believe i could do it. I watched a ton of YT videos and finally got the confidence to do it! That was awesome of you to give your buddy that PC you could tell he was stoked about it! keep up the good content dude!

[slayyde_]

ive watched your tutorials on how to build a gaming pc and it gave me so much confidence! When i built my pc, it looked absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for your help Pc Centric!

[bobhakes]

Great job explaining the how to of building a pc from start to finish! It really makes sense now in putting it all together

[ML-kxgz]

lol your friend is so genuine about everything, glad he was able to keep it in the end!
