ive quite literally wanted to build my PC my entire life, and never have gotten the opportunity except for this friday. this is the most detailed and clear tutorial ive found so far, outdoing linus, especially on the wiring. this is 100% going to be my go-to when the parts arive. thank u so much

[SlayerMorgs]

It’s really helpful that the build didn’t go perfectly and he had to make improvises to make it work, much more realistic and it also makes it easier for people who are worried about these kind of things

For someone that has built PCs professionally for over 20 years. Always always always, build it outside the case to make sure everything works.

Because once everything is in. Trying to remove and add parts in an effort to troubleshoot is a pain in the ass.

Perfect timing 😅 I’ve been trying for 3 days to build my first one and can’t seem to find any videos that actually help me with wires and cables

[stephenhayde]

Just built my first PC following your instructions. No errors or anything. Went straight into the BIOS when I tried to start it so I'm very happy right now!! Thanks so much for your video!

[Zafaruss]

Bro I haven’t even bought it yet but I’m shitting myself by the pure thought of me breaking something on accident

[SirLiamothy]

This is insanely helpful I’ve been trying to build a pc for a few months now and this video makes me actually not want to go to a store to have them build it for me! Thanks for the awesome advice

[Zipzapzak]

This is so amazing and clear! Definitely will use this if I build a pc one day

[RubyRecon]

Just built my first PC as a mATX and your video helped immensely, especially with regard to the fan cabling. Thank you sir

You can do almost everything with just a number two Phillips screwdriver. Preferably one with a long stem.

If you only get one tool, that's the one to get.

Magnetize the tip. The hardware store near you should sell magnets specifically for that purpose.

gotta love these building pc videos. ngl there's so many pc building videos but its still satisfying to watch any everytime

[RIOTNOOB]

You actually did a good job explaining, I have been PC's since the late 80's. Not too many Youtubers explain as much as you do, congrats got a like.

[xElizzard]

Im upgrading my pc and honestly this video is the best step by step I’ve ever seen! Im watching videos to refresh my memory of where the wires go and out of all the videos I’ve seen (even over the years on my older builds), this is the clearest, informative and straightforward tutorial ever! Thank you so much 😁

[kendradaar]

This was an excellent video! I don't know if it was just me, but I would have loved it if you included the price for each of these parts and if there are certain parts where you can shop around for the best price and what parts should not be "skimped" on.

Lovely and informative video, thank you very much for making this for people to be informed on how to make their own PCs. I'll be saving this video for when I finally manage to save up to make my own PC.

Crazy how much easier it is today than it was to build a pc than back in the late 90’s. Had to get your NIC a modem card a sound card CDROM drive floppy drive (always hooked up floppy cable backwards. Lol) and then you have to worry about all the different cards working along with each other. Today it’s just Mobo, Ram and your GPU done. Lol

[vvsFaded]

thank this was actually really helpful i bought all my pc parts and only did a bit of research and i was nervous but now i feel more confident that i can build it

[Deadman]

This video os exactly what ive been looking for, my pc parts are arriving in the mail and the fact that this was posted so recentlt is literally the perfect timing

[isaac-yeer]

Thank you so much I really didn't know how to build and you are really reliable person

[soccerryan]

Thank you so much for this video! I have all of the parts I need for my first build, but this made me realize i need to study some more before starting.
