There's literally nobody that includes as much information as this man when it comes to pc building. What a legend 👏🙌

[Skdbear]

Just finished my first pc build in a Lancool 3. It has all worked out without any problems thanks to this guide and your Lancool 3 guide. A big thanks to your clear and detailed instructions. Wishing you all the best and hope your channel keeps growing and gets the recognition it deserves.

[tatti]

I've been rewatching this video for a week and today I finally built my gaming pc. Sincerely, thank you so much for the work you put into this. It had everything anybody could ever need.

[Ngryn]

I'm not even building a computer and I watched this - Chris is a total delight to watch. One of the better build videos I've watched - super informative and great explanations.

[HellfireDraco]

I'm gonna be building my first PC soon and I'm so glad I came across your channel. Straight forward, easy to understand information and then you go and do a build with the case that I had already picked out! Couldn't have asked for more a detailed look than that.

[xanderludwig]

Chris your channel is outstanding! I always have bought pre-builts and stayed away from hardware, but your vidoes inspired me and guided me to build my first pc this year. I love how much to provide a depth on explanation that is great for beginners, which is always matter of fact and doesn't make you feel bad for being newbie. The comprehensive details, including how to install windows at the end are just amazing, thank you!

[mariom]

I would like to thank you for conducting such a thorough and easy-to-follow video guide. This video was well organized and provided clear-cut concise instructions. I just finished my first build thanks to this video!

[Bgboi]

Just bought my parts and was so nervous to put everything together and found this vid which happened to have almost completely identical components. You’re a godsend seriously.

[WhiskyTangoFoxtrot]

Huge thanks! This is by far the best full build guide I've come across. I followed your steps and my new rig is up and running great.

[Elizaxxx]

Tyvm Christopher, great information, I just need a Win 11 key provider for my PC, any ideas?

[umlaudanum]

You're a lifesaver. Your calm tone and thorough explanation and demonstration helped me through my first build. Thank you!

[zaclundgren]

Building my first computer currently and your videos have helped immensely. Can’t thank you enough!

[KeokiDude]

Man, BIG THANKS for such a complete and in depth tutorial. I just built my wife a PC today and your video really made it happen quite easily. George &Tricia- Portland, OR, USA

[rare]

Great video, will no doubt be extremely helpful for a lot of people. Clear, detailed, excellent job! Can’t wait to see that 216 in stock in the UK. Seems like we’ve been waiting ages for it.

[MikeBob]

You're still The Man, Mr. Flannigan! It took me 3 days to watch the entire video (I can't watch anything, anywhere, for more than an hour or so 🙄), but watch it all I did. Your build (unexpectedly) caused me to wax nostalgic because my very first (SUCCESSFUL 😝) build was around the *ASUS ROG STRIX Z270E Gaming* motherboard, and it was *quite* an experience. Thanks again! 👍

[ra]

Really…thank you .. such videos deserve huge supports
I built my pc from scratch following you and everything went just like you mentioned

Thank you 🙏 ❤

[asianmaddness]

Built a pc after my old one of 13 years died on me. This was PERFECT. I did it all last night while following you and booted perfectly first time. WOW. You got a subscriber in me sir!

[Chesterwilliamfrancis]

I don't think he left anything out. This is the holy grail for pc building .

[jaykuhn]

Thanks! The best build video at least that I have seen. You take the time to provide additional information on what to I be done and how. But also take the time to go over what is critical or not, what can go wrong and how to fix it. Well done, the best! ...delivered with an interesting accent 🙂

[hellobro-jeqp]

I build my first pc today using this guide. It posted and the only thing i had gotten wrong was that i didnt connect fan hub to sata connector, but now its working perfectly. Thanks alot for making this so detailed so i didnt need to watch 5 different videos 👍
