Damn dude, your build reasoning, quality, and overall physical instructions are so much better than like 95% of the larger names in PC gaming on YouTube. Micro Center is wise to support you. And so will I with a like and a subscription. Been planning a build for awhile now, researching, trying to learn more, and most of all waiting for prices to drop. Been looking at that 6700 for awhile now, IMO it's the value card out there. That 12gbs of VRAM gives you a lot of freedom.

[bizbarley]

Over a year since I first watched and commented on this video and I still think it's one of the best building guides found anywhere online. I think it's the fact that nothing is skipped, even cable management, which in the end is one of the hardest things about building. I know you're mainly an Intel man, but it would be awesome to see a fresh build in the $1200 range. Good time to build.

[julialove]

I don't think you even understand how good of a guide this is, I love that you show, at least briefly, one of the most important things that no other guides show, cable management. I cannot tell you how many people come into our store a couple days after buying all their components and attempting to build their first PC only to return because they got overwhelmed by cables and proper connections. This is by far the biggest challenge I see for new builders yet no tutorials feature it. First time, consider spending a few extra dollars and going semi or fully modular. It's consistently the biggest pitfall I see for novice builders.

I've been running a 12400F/3060 rig for a few months now, and I'm really loving it. Very lower mid-range parts, but the performance is all I will need for at least 3-4 years. Single core performance is amazing on the 12th gen which always offers great frame timings in games.

[colinplayz]

Very nice build, infact I am building this exact pc at the moment while following this guide. The only difference I made was I got a RX 6700 XT instead of an OC version because I was worried 600 W would not be enough.

[irregularmana]

I had to take apart my PC for a new PSU and for getting a SSD installed to replaced my HDD. I love watching people build PC's and even though I've done it thousands of times idk why but I like seeing builds lol

FINALLY

They finally aded the description marks for the front side panel.

If you didnt have the motherboard manual (most likely dont) you will have no idea how to connect it.

[Philalyab]

i probably will get this when i got the money thanks. this is better than ALL the tutorials

[zeroturn]

I’m still on 11th Gen, but still look forward to your build vids.

[relentless_]

just built the same pc from micro center for 1000$ i got a red devil 6700xt a b550 tuf pro mobo ryzen 5 5600 32 gb of ram and 750 full modular evga psu i and a nzxt510 FLOW came in at 960$ and that was from micro center but going all amd they had 50$ the mobo cpu combo and another 20 off the gpu i love it i think the drivers are more simplified then nvidia at least to me i never owed nvidia but was playing on my buddies for a while but they both are great

[biggersmaller]

My son and I are doing our first build based off this video. Amazing work!

[soper]

Yo thanks for the amazing guide I’m making my first pc

[charlesburris]

I'd get AMD proc for the GPU. SAM makes a difference. Maybe a 5600(x). The 3600mhz ram would be perfect with it as well.

[SapphireThunder]

This is almost good but as a recommendation for people who may try to follow these part choices in coming weeks/months: at this point it would honestly be best to go for i3 12100F and spend more on psu, get SSD with 3D TLC NAND and go for 32gb RAM. Games are starting to use enough RAM that you have to close programs with 16gb to make space. The Intel's 13th generation locked cpus like 13400F are coming in just couple of months and 3D QLC isn't exactly fastest or most durable flash memory for a main operating system use.

[summerbreakboredom]

if u wanna go a little cheaper u can even just go with a 2060/11400f
it works great and for only $750 for the entire build, its honestly a steal

[sheffrespawnz]

My pc worth around 2.5k I prefer pc over consol but a 400-500$ ps5 or xbox ain't that far behind. The only issue with ps5 and xbox is that the ps4 and the xbox one is holding back thoes systems games could look alot better.

[douchenozzlemcgee]

I ended up going with:
CPU: a ryzen 5 5600 (not 5600x) $128.33
MOBO: asrock b550 pro4 $104.99
RAM: 32 GB Teamgroup T-create DDR4 2x16GB 3200MHz for $66.99
GPU: msi ventus 3 fan 3060 ti for $429.99 (i tried to get a two fan for $410, but it sold out)
Case: Phanteks Eclipse RGB version cuz RGB WOO $100 (could've gotten the non rgb version for $79.99)
Bootdrive: Intel 670p 1 TB nvme 3.0x4 QLC for 59.99
PowerSupply: SuperFlower Leadex III 850W 80+ Gold fully modular for 109.99 (for possible upgradability in the future)

Building this as a christmas gift for an uncle. Was contracted by the aunt lol. Let me know what y'all think. I think I plan on giving the 5600 a little overclock.

[eticket]

QQ Matt; does this case support an optical drive?

[superbowsing]

Is this build good for ray tracing in games like Minecraft, vr games or emulating?

[GuitarHippieGaming]

I’m building this, can u please do a video of how to download windows 10
