3 Surprises When Building Your First Gaming PC

[ZachsTechTurf]

What else surprised you when building your first gaming PC?

To the guy doing the build, congratulations on your first build! The first one is always a nerve-racker. You're in good company if any questions or need of help arises!

The "Linus GPU Drop" never fails to give me a panic attack...

I just finished my first pc build and it was surprisingly easy. Though that might be thanks to the case I picked. Dual chambered to working with the cables was super easy. Front panel connectors all wrapped up into a singular plug instead of several 1-2 pin connectors. And outside of that it was still a surprisingly smooth process only needing me to re seed the cpu once and after that everything went smoothly.

Just finished my first build ever 2 days ago and I’m in love. It was such rewarding experience to see it actually turn on and now to see it play games in all its glory is just awesome

Just built my first pc last week. Learned a lot of things to change if i ever decide to build a new one :). Good luck on your first build dude

The most surprising part for me was, that it didn't turn on directly but needed some time to boot up for the first time. Didn't know that was a thing

[Theatsign]

My personal piece of advice is make sure your case io is plugged in properly, sometimes the pc not booting is just the power button isn't plugged in

[Blackout]

I’m so glad my first build fired up first try. Mostly because i binged your videos for two months straight before building.

Surprisingly, the first time I built a PC it didn't turn on, but not because I did something wrong, but because the NEW RAM memory arrived damaged, so when I changed it for one from another brand, everything turned on.

That gpu drop... droped my heart with it 😭🙏

I think building anything can be a lot of fun, but the risk is not worth it for me

last week I buy AMD 6800xt for like 270 USD. Some CPU, motherboard and other parts after some research around my area and I bring it to a shop that specialized in building PC. I ended up spending less than 800 USD total and I'm super happy with the result

They assemble it for a few bucks and it run buttery smooth and looks pretty neat.

i built a pc last month and it was easy because i saw lots of tutorials before, i would recommend everybody who's building a pc and is new to watch tutorials before, they will help, and read the manuals about ur cooler, and mobo

I truly hate the AM5 sockets. It was my third build and I bent the pins in the socket with little force. Luckily, Micro Center allowed me to exchange the motherboard for a new one without using my insurance since I came to them the next day after purchase.

Hey guys I've build my PC 2 months ago and finally the final piece is installed. The GPU

I remember sweating as hell worried that it won't boot. The LGA model really make me think I bend the pin. Bit it was bend on purpose.

It's a budget PC. Idc about hundreds fps because my monitor only 720p and 60hz 💀💀

Good for him. I recently buildy first PC and ya it was nerve racking. lol
I was more scared of somehow bricking the entire thing when it came to updating the drivers and stuff.

Built my first pc (minus gpu) a couple of days ago. It was extremely nervous and spanned two days. Inserting the gpu took about an hour because lining up those metal tabs was difficult. They were bent but it was already 12:30 and I has to get up for work in 5 hours so I just called it quite got it fixed after work the next day. Couldn’t be happier 😁

[summonsays]

Really should mention that crunch when you put the RAM in. (Ok crunch might be an overstatement but it really feels like you break something there too).

I haven't built a PC in ten years time. I don't really need these pointers and tips because I know my way around but the newer components and peripherals are a bit daunting so this video does still help. Hopefully by the end of the year my new rig will be up and running.
