At this point I've watched so many "how to build pc" videos I'd consider myself a veteran pc builder without building one yet

[Bebopopotamus]

This is the first POV video where I didn't just fast-forward to the end.

Those "clicks" u hear after installing ur ram is prolly one of the most satisfying sounds I've heard

[BlakeBlackstone]

I've put together a computer before but it was over a decade ago. I remember hating the tedious process of cable management so I was going to hire GeekSquad to come to my house to put it together for me. When I asked them if I need to provide the thermal paste, they didn't know what thermal paste was and put me on hold for 10 minutes to figure out what I was trying to ask. it was at that point I cancelled the appointment and decided I would just do it myself. And now I'm here.

"people watch all kinds of POV content on the internet"

That genuinely caught me off guard there

[hemang]

Can't wait to watch this 28 times after all my parts arrive

[MrOnosa]

It took 7 hours but I built my first PC today thanks to this video. Thank you!
Edit: I just realized my comment might read as passive aggressive but it's really not. I truly do appreciate it!

“People love watching POV videos on the internet.”

I see what you did there Linus

Great tutorial! I like the systematical way you planned everything and put everything together, keeping the next steps in mind to avoid problems. It's also nice to be informed about possible obstacles at every step. In my opinion this is a perfect tutorial which is focused on the most important things. Will definitely recommend this one to diy PC builders.

Hi Linus Tech Tips. Just wanted to say thank you guys. I built my very first PC today. I know its a 40 minute video, but taking it slowly, I still roughed out at around 4 hours. AND IT WORKS! I'm on my new gaming pc as I type this. Thank you =] :) :)

Thank you for the video tutorial, I watched this nearly 4 times and along while I built it. This replaced my gaming PC(pre-build) which I had for almost 10 years. Thank you =) .

Linus: **insults Intel**
Intel: yeah let's sponsor this guy

[kapag]

I..don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore... I binge watch every "how to build a PC" I could find while
knowing I won't get one. 😭

[InBobWeTrust]

I just built my second PC using this video. I am happy to report that everything booted up and worked correctly on my first try, and I owe it all to you. I cannot thank you enough for a guide this good!

Linus: chooses a *black* case


Everyone: cool, i can see everything.
