PC Part Picker is a good recommendation. Definitely helps you call out things like: 1) Do I need to flash the bios BEFORE I put in a processor 2) Do the cables from the case connect to my motherboard without any extra conversion cables 3) Does my power supply power everything in my build and what is my power headroom. 4) Does my cooler fit in my case? 5) Does my case match my motherboard size? --- Some things you might need to check on your own. Does my CPU cooler block my RAM due to height? There is probably a general list of things to check somewhere but PC Part Picker is a good start. The next thing I would say is what are you going to use it for. If you are doing something weird like doing a home LLM server for inference, your requirements might be very different than a gamer. I'm sure use case for camera's is also a thing.
Also, if anybody could help me with choosing a power supply I'd be grateful 🙃 workstation/video editing build: i7-13700k CPU, z790 board, 420mm radiator cooling, g skill 16x2 ram, Sabrent Gen 4 1tb SSD. Will drop an a770 16g GPU (MAYBE a 4070 ti), 32gb more ram, and 3-4tb more pcie/sata storage. Won't have any need to upgrade beyond this until it breaks. Looking for cheapest but still fully reliable/safe option including open box or used if it makes sense. Thanks!
The biggest problem with "do your research" is that most people don't know how or what to research. On top of that knowing what sources to trust and which ones to avoid is incredibly difficult for beginners. I'm speaking from experience since I was in that boat for a long time. I ended up learning the hard way, and finally built my PC 2 years ago. If I were you I'd make a video breaking down 'How to research (for PC building)', 'what to research', 'recommended sources (tech blogs, YT channels, etc.)' and most importantly WHY & WHAT. Are you making a PC for gaming (Halo, COD, CSGO, Tree Simulator, etc.) or creation (Lightroom, Photoshop, Blender, CAD, DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, etc.) do you have a big or small budget, common PC terms, which one is better for what task and why, common issues/complaints. It's far more helpful for new PC builders to understand the 'why' of the parts than the 'what' 9/10. This way they can make a truly informed decision, especially when working with budgets so small the only decent spec parts they can get are used ones (which I personally recommend everyone do to save some green) Please consider making a video in the future explaining this with as much of your own experience included so others can have an easier time understanding why the biggest piece of advise everyone gives is "do your research" 🙏🏻 sorry for the long af comment.
my first pc was prebuilt, paid the equivalent of $2300-2400 for a 4070ti and 14700k keep in mind the 4070ti super existed, which i didn't know, and had i just built the pc myself, i could have gotten a 4080super and 7800x3d and now i know how to build a pc...
while i agree that buying a 4090 can be a large waste of money, most people who are just using pcs for general use/gaming aren't going to buy a 4090 then go buy a 5090. Even if the 4090 will get beat by the 5000 counterpart, its still top of the line. In an era where there's a new gpu out every year and gpu's are getting stronger and more efficient, you don't need to buy a new one every year or even every couple years. Another thing that makes PC's seem so intimidating, is the amount of options. The reason that parts are so all over the place is because you can walk into a store and build a PC to your budget, most of the time without going over your budget. Yes, having a budget of $500 to spend on a pc is never going to be as good as spending $1500 on a pc, You have that option. Prebuilds help you get to those lower budgets easier and they are convenient, but that convenience most of the time comes up to a 100 to a few hundred dollar upcharge. I get SI's (System Integrators) have to make profit, they just don't have anyone telling them when enough is enough.
I honestly had a hard time to build my own gaming rig. Took months and in the end, a powerful computer is a powerful computer. Buying a built pc, If it games and does work. That is all that matters to people. Time is money.
There is ex-Microsoft guy (Dave) who bought 2 RTX 6000, depends on budget. The point is you don't spend a lot of money if you don't know what you're doing. Just start small and see what happens. Mac Mini for $600 is a good start LOL
not a pro camera guy or anything but from experience, a full frame camera does the same job as long as you have enough light, as soon as you're in an environment that has lower light it falls appart so fast you have to crank up exposure or ISO which makes for blurry or noisy pictures (feel free to correct me below)
I'm going to be building my first pc soon, I've watched enough videos where I think I'm comfortable building the pc, but the setup after the build is where I get lost. some advise or pointers would be nice! thanks
Hey, your going to want to make sure you have all the little things accounted for. -Do you have a usb drive with a windows iso on it? -Do you have a decent mouse and keyboard/a hdmi or displayport cord for you monitor to pc display connection. -Do you have screwdrivers and enough screws to mount your fans and drives? -Do you have thermal paste and or the right mounting bracket for your cpu. -Do you have enough PCIE power pins for your GPU? Then I would just look into how to install drivers after your PC up and you should be good!
PC Builder @PCBuilderChannel does component videos helping explain how to select motherboards, CPUs, Power Supplies, Memory, etc. The channel also does best part for the money videos. Finally they have a series called "boost my build" where he takes submitted builds and budgets and looks to maximize value for the budget. The host is entertaining and his explanations are easy to follow. Recommend checking it out if you're new to PC building or just want to be entertained by his rants during boost my build vids.
I built mine around my monitor. 1440p 144hz. I overbuilt with a 7800x3d and 6950xt but likely upgrade the gpu when 9800xt is a thing. Plan is this build/ugrade can take me through 10years. Even bought a mobo with gen 5 pcie that gpu dont even do yet.

I'm about 9 months into learning about cameras. About 3 weeks into learning about PC builds - (both purchases made ) Very similar spaces

New camera quality looks amazing!
New camera quality is DEF off the charts!!

@@SiliconSteak on tech source, there is a way to get windows for like $30, do you know that process?
Gamersoutlet.com get you $6 windows keys. But you go to Microsoft's official site to get the iso file.

@@SiliconSteak thank you
I know about pc parts ... he says... right after he said this cpu is Ryzen 8 🤣
Heyyy… I know
@@SiliconSteak Haahaa ..yeah you know

Cameras are easy. You just need to talk to people and read reviews.
not sure it’s worth buying pc for under $1000 if you don’t have that much just save up or not buy at all.
Been watching Camera Conspiracies
LOL 100%. I’ve been watching Vegetable Police for like 4 years though
And nah nah nah the PC space is just as bad lol its impossible to go from 0 to decision making in less than a week
4090/5090 are the GPU you need for 4K gaming. I cannot wait to replace my 4090 with a 5090 Suprim X!!!
At native yes. You can get by with other gpus with DLSS
@@SiliconSteak Is there anything other than native? lol just joking. DLSS/FSR are ok if you don't have the horsepower to run native 4K res.
I prefer DLSS Quality over native lol
