Just bought my first pc I’m so excited and nervous at the same time…

Hi Braethorn. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. I was helping my friend open his first pre-build PC. He looked into the case and said, "Oh my God! It must have been damaged during shipment." I asked him how he knew his PC was damaged. He said, "Look, the airbag has deployed!" I believe there are two words you should never use when producing a video like this one: "You Know."

watching this while waiting for my new pre built to arrive was dope, ty <3

As usual, great video. As someone who's been in the PC enthusiast hobby (and custom building) for a LONG time and someone who's worked in the SI/Boutique industry, I like checking out videos like this to see if they're worth recommending to friends/customers of mine. This video was straight to the point for someone new to it, and at no time did it sound like you were talking down to the viewer. Great job, keep it up.

I've only ever had laptops, so this is super helpful as I'm waiting for my new desktop delivery 😊 Thank you for explaining everything so clearly.

[Jimmothy]

Hey man not expecting a response as this is from 5 months ago but I wanted to thank you for making this. I’m getting my first pc after laptop gaming for 4 years

[brianmckay]

What a fab video. Thankyou. The reason why im so impressed is because you keep it simple. No jargon demonstrating how clever you are, blar blar. Well done fella!!

[daniellaramos]

i thought i was so prepared but I was not prepared for when the pc doesnt come with a graphics card!! I had no idea.

You put a smile on my face with what you said at 17:26. You seemed to legit believe that, and that to me is the biggest thing. You've got a forever subscriber from me. Thank you!

[npetersen]

Thank you very much. I am going from a gaming laptop to a brand new tower. I have never dove deep into PC building but am looking forward to learning about it. Looking forward to future videos.

[roanlagos]

Hey there from Australia! Thanks for this very informative video! I’ve just got my first gaming pc in decades and this video is super helpful! So much has changed since my Pentium 4 days I needed to make sure I was doing the right thing! Cheers!

[zozihn]

I look forward to the new series. That sounds really useful.

[MY_MOTIVATIONIIII]

Probably sounds stupid but as a console player from age 7 till 24 I have never had a gaming pc and now am curious as how difficult it is to play games on pc you explain everything so nice and calm 😌 well done 👏

[lilcheeps]

Merry Christmas, my friend, and thank you for all the help you put out there for us, old timers, and for the newbies

[lyricalwasabi]

Thanks a lot, this video really helped sum up everything I’ve heard and answered my questions before I got my first pre-built pc. You earned my hard earned subscription today.

[blemon]

Thank you so much for this! I have watched countless videos and this was by far the most helpful!

[rebeccastevens]

Thank you so much for making this, it was extremely helpful. I just got my new system setup and going!

[mr.guillotine]

I don't need this video, but I'm not going to pass up a new Braethorn video, especially on Christmas when my back has locked up and I'm miserable, this will almost certainly improve my mood for a little bit.

[HypoCT]

I've been binging your videos lately, I don't know why it's so relaxing

[madsbosc]

This video is soo so helpful! Will there be any videos in the future on setting things up once the computer is up and running? I keep seeing stuff about needing to install drivers and messing with settings but I feel so clueless. Sorry if these are stupid questions, thanks!
