I’ve been watching this man for 2 years and he has taught me everything about PC building. I’m now building my first PC later this month. Crater is that guy❤.

[pongoeight]

I got no idea how to build a PC and you really helped me to find something that won't be a potato pc

[benilapit]

I appreciate how in depth you went with the cabling and how/where to plug them in. Easily one of the best build tutorials I've watched. Much thanks.

[leftlanelanny]

Hey wanted to drop some gratitude! I just finished my first pc and your videos were probably 80% or more of my education and motivation! Thanks for what you do homie, I never would have known I could do it without ya.

You made a difference for me man. Hope you keep doing what you do.

[OMGduckyfn]

I know it’s a bit early for having something on your Christmas list already, but I’m 14 and this pc build is now what I want for Christmas

[MusicboxctVN]

Every video CRATER make: Calm, soft, warm, step by step a - z, every little details YOU NEED TO KNOW, 10 out of 10... Satisfying!

[jahussy]

i love watching this guy building a PC, it is so satisfying and calming. Joey is a real one for this

[idunnolol]

Yo guys be careful with the screws. He didn’t explain that you need to screw them in with a cross pattern. For example if you start screwing on the top left don’t go to the bottom left or top right ur gonna go to the bottom right diagonally from where ur first screw was in. THEN you can start screwing in the other 2. The reason why is so that every way around gets equal pressure and you make sure you don’t screw in too deep

[ksznn]

joeys voice always calms me down and idk why
like i legit just finished watching a packing tournament and now i feel like i actually belong in the world so thats cool

[rShyft]

I love how when he shows the games benchmarks he’s crazy good at each game he plays

[mannywuuud]

I cannot lie. I've been OBSESSED with ur vids lately

[iliovski]

Great vid as always. I build my first gaming PC with R5 5500 and 1660 SUPER, it came out pretty clean with argb fans and great airflow in the case. I even undervolted the gpu and its awesome

[ramsesmaside]

I'm glad that you're back, regards from México.

[ionized_salmon]

with these kinds of builds i'd love to see more than just competitive games. would be nice to see performance for people like who prefer RPGs

[Edward]

Damn bro, you gave me the confidence to finally build my own PC. Thanks for the perfect video explaining how to build it

[Axtrelz]

Nice build joey! you inspired me to build my first pc so now I have my own pc running a 12400f and a rx 6600

[alabasters]

Thank you for this. Built my pc couple months back and it works well. I’m able to play a game and stream on twitch as well. Great pc for a good cheap alternative price.

[walleye]

Enjoy your videos man. Just built my first ever PC coming from PS3 and PS4 for many years now. Got a ryzen 7 5700x with a rx6700xt on a tomahawk board. And trust me when I type that I still don't know what that all means lol but I saw the reviews and got it. Went with a 1tb 970 and 32gb Vulcans. So far I'm enjoying the switch from PlayStation

[mace]

I got to know about this channel through the first 500$ Budget Gaming PC Build Video 4 years ago, It's been a long time man.

[jeffthomas]

I built this PC for my son. The only thing I changed was the case, where I went with a CiT Blaze which needed no additional fan as it has 6 installed. PC Works really well.
