Great job building your first PC man, welcome to the club! I built a few pc's and I have some notes that might help. 13:35 Daisy chaining PCI-E power like this is a bad idea. You should use two separate power cables because one of those can only handle 150W. Your GPU can go as high as 300W. You will probably be fine overloading it since you got a high quality psu - but it's better to be safe than sorry! 15:48 There's no reason to partition an SSD for OS. People used to do it on HDDs to have their OS on the outer side of the spinning disc which is faster. It can cause you problems since all the drivers and os updates will be forced to that (C:) partition. Even some programs refuse to install somewhere else than on C. You should be ok with that 100GB though, you'll see if it causes you any trouble. 23:20 The coil whine usually happens when your GPU outputs high FPS. For me it occurs at 500+ (usually just loading screens for me lol). If it really annoys you, you can get rid of it by limiting your framerate. You probably won't see a difference if you set it to 300 FPS.
There is a good reason to partition any drive. If you decide to reinstall windows, you will format C drive and loose all data, that's why I prefer to keep all my data on D drive.
about your daisy chaining comment, while you are correct running daisy chained off of one pcie 8 pin is usually fine. the 150W power rating is for an 18 AWG cable, which can only handle ~150W. the corsair rm series and other high end power supplies typically use 16AWG or sometimes 14AWG cables, which can handle well over 300 watts with no issues. i used to run my rx 6900xt daisy chained off of my corsair rm850x, and drawing over 400 watts and was perfectly fine. even still, using multiple power supply cables can help deliver "cleaner" power which can be better (although you will only probably notice it if you are overclocking a LOT, and i mean a lot, like subzero overclocking). theres no harm in running daisy chain (unless maybe its a 4090 or you have a really bad power supply), but theres always no harm in running all the cables.
its also bad moneyise, you're telling the gpu and th cou to give it every ouncee of power it can when leaving the fps uncappedwhich means running on higher wattage levels which leads to more electricity leading up to a higher electricity bill. Just cap the fps to the hz of the monitor because you won't see the difference above 240hz assuming you wouldn't buy a 360hz or 540hz monitor.
@@dharmikpatel8439I don’t think you need a 7800x3d for a 7800 xt so you can def save money going a lower end cpu and getting a better graphics card. Can get cheaper ssds, and the power supply is kinda overkill
@@luukschouten9108 do you not understand the fact that there was literally a number next to it? any amount of money you set aside for your pc is a budget by definition
is this the new price for building a new pc from scratch now? I remember 5 years ago doing under 1000$. When he said reasonable price I was expecting 500-700$ and then was shocked at the actual price.
I'm still in the 7th minute and I alr knew how to build PCs, BUT, you basically resumed every single youtube tutorial in one so great job, I will recommend this video to anyone who wants to build their own PC. so much value in this video. what u are saying in one video, I had to go through 3 or 4 that are longer to get the same information. well done (my english isn't my 1st language so apologies xD)
update, I didn't even know that Edge Startup thing! i also didn't know you could disable the snap windows features (the first thing I do when I get anything new is to see everything I can change and customize)
This video is so good. I’ve been wishlisting a PC for about half a year now, and I’ve finally got one. I used your video as a guide and found it incredibly helpful, especially with the cable management junk. Every second of this video was incredible and has saved me so much time building my own PC
amazing work for building a computer for the first time. you did all the research on hardware compatibility, how to assemble a pc, what to look out for when you do it, trouble shoot it afterwards and made a really entertaining video for other people to follow it.
I don't think you have to switch the power supply on before you touch it.. as long as it's plugged in. They're telling you to touch it because the metal is attached to the bond wire, which is bonded to ground. As long as the cable is plugged into it, you shouldn't need to switch it on, as that just connects the line and load sides coming from your service panel, completing a circuit.
I have some tips for your build: 9:40 The usb-c connector (type E connector) only goes in one way. Notice how one of the edges is wider than the rest. Specifically, at 9:45 you can see how the pins are slightly off-center. 10:40 NC is short for no-connection, meaning that pin is just a piece of metal used to fill out empty space (it's there so other connectors can't be plugged in). As it is, the reset switch is not functional and instead needs to be connected to RSTCON# and Ground (notice the two lines below these words at 10:42). 11:05 I happen to have the same case as you (except white). The 3.5" hard drive "shelves" can be entirely removed from the case so you have more room to work with the power supply. It also results in an opportunity for better airflow (not that it really matters down there).
This video that randomly appears on my feed a month after it was uploaded is unironically better than any PC Assembly video I searched for. Thanks man! Haven't built a PC yet but this video gives me the confidence to try. It's also nice to see where can things can go wrong or easy mistakes to make in the process.
Fr. Imma build a pc soon myself and videos like these kind of relax me. Of course the first half was kinda easy plugging in but the second one was just selecting stuff on youre pc to install everythg and get itgoing.
Actually great tutorial, ive watched alot of pc building tutorials and this is by far one of the best. One tip for you, your card is a very high end card that consumes good amount of power, i advise you to buy an extra pcie cable for your gpu (very very important for it to match the psu brand and cable type). That insures that your card gets enough power, and i strongly believe it would reduce if not eliminate the gpu coil whine you’re hearing. The main reason for this tip is that a single pcie cable supplies up to 175 watts, the motherboard gpu slot supplies 75 watts, you used a pig tail cable ( the split cable in the gpu) this doesn’t make the cable supply more power magically, though its totally fine for a lower-mid range card, an extra cable would give you the sufficient power needed. Excellent video and i hope i helped someone.
the only thing the gpu will do if you run pig tail is it will try to draw the power it needs through the 1 pcie cable. 7800 xt needs around 266 Watt. so it shouldn't cause a problem. the only time I would go out and buy an extra cable for it is if i want to use a graphics card that needs more power or if the current pcie cable are bad quality. If the psu came with 2 pcie cables go for it, use both.
Interesting that you’re mentioning this, i just ordered a new gpu, the XFX AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT and i currently have the Corsair TX650M PSU. Not that this gpu is high end or what not, but i was just wondering if it’s just a plug and play situation or not. The 2060 i’m currently using uses one 8pin atm and the 6750 uses two 8 pins. I have two 8 pins available tho
I am currently building my first PC too, the youtube algorithm must've caught up to that and recommended me this vid. I got pretty much the same main components as you do in your build, I honestly didn't have the patience for the whole thing, especially cables, they really discouraged me and I couldn't find tutorials that made it any easier to understand the many cables, as a first time builder it can be really frustrating especially if your mobo brand isn't the finest with manuals (I didn't get a manual for some reason). You seriously delivered on a tutorial that I couldn't find anywhere! I am not a smart guy and now it's idiot proof. Thank you for motivating me finishing my build.
Parts wise this is almost exactly what I want my next PC to look. My current one is okay for the time being but sometime in the next year or 2 I'll be upgrading. Thanks for sharing :)
Its nice seeing another first time builder build their own pc. Im still on the process of getting all of my pc parts before I can do that though. Gives me conference to try it myself. In all doesn't seem too hard if you follow the instructions and carefully put it together which is good!
I've been building my own PC's for the past 10 years. This was a great first time build! I love the subtle jokes and gags, really made me laugh. 😂 Congrats on your first build.
@@brentopp1ermoreWhen building my pc recently I made the same mistake not screwing in the SSD stand before screwing in the m.2, even after watching this and the LTT video hahaha. It bent the same as in the video and I prayed it didn't break and thankfully it didn't. It was really scary though.
I am an It-Specialist. Everytime i build a PC, i get nervous, i hate it. Nice to see you go down that path. EDIT: And i acutally learned something from your video.
You're a software developer. Not an IT specialist. You know how to type on a keyboard, nothing about system builds/servers and networking, etc. I'm an IT engineer, and it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video. It was, however, very catchy, quirky and extremely funny with all the small jokes he made. I understand how appealing it is for people that have an interest in building machines. Great video, keep it up bud!
@@dsk_1337 Whats your problem man? 1. Yes i am a Software Developer. 2. system builds/servers and networking, etc. are basic subject areas in the training programme for IT specialists (regardless of the specialisation) in my country. That concludes that i am a IT Specialist specialised in Software Development. 3. I, in fact did learn something new from this video, how would you know? 4. It's nice for you, that you already did knew everything he showed. 5. Even if you are an IT Enineer, that does not mean you know everything about Hard and Software, most IT Engineer as well as Specialists and even Developers or System Integrators or Admins, can now a lot about other stuff of the big IT and are also be able to not know everything. What kind of IT Engineer are you, there are a number of subject areas in which IT engineers work that don't always all mesh together. 6. I do know a lot more than just "Typing on a keybord" but you seem to not know more than just being a dick. 7. You just cant know everything. No one does.
@@dsk_1337 nice of you, to just assume stuff 1. Yes i am a Software Developer 2. system builds/servers and networking, etc are a fundamental part of training as an IT specialist (regardless of specialisation) in my country. I also work on server systems as a hobby. Saying i know nothing other than just typing on a keyboard, is not very nice of you. Software Developer ist just my work title. 3. Since number 2 already specified what a IT Specialist in my country is. I can tell you, that i am in fact a IT Specialist, specialised in Software Development. 4. I did learn something new from this video, because you cant know everything. How can you proof that i did not learn something new, or that others did not learn something? You are basically saying that Bog's video did not give any useful information. Thats not very nice of you. ("it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video") 5. Good for you that you already knew everything from this video. 6. You are an IT Engineer? Tell me, what did you actually do? IT Engineers are not doing everything, they also specialise in stuff, like Big Data, AI, Software Developtment or Hardware Maintanance like IT Infrastructures. Hardware and Software Troubleshooting and Helpdesk or first/second level support are not IT Engineer work. 7. I in fact did work as a Software Developer in a big company and i did work as a System Administator in a small company. Better yourself.
Amazing documentation. Everything in this video I feel like I went through. The only parts that I didn't experience myself was the SSD torture (hurts my soul), and the fan connector issues. You read directions perfectly, and got it looking professional. Props to you! Amazing first build.
Clean, informative, all the way through, no BS, no time wasted, wonderful for beginner builders as it does save a lot of time and headache. Just a very well done tutorial, straight to the point, nicely done!
Suprised how great you managed your first build! 3 Advices for your build I have which will boost its performance even more are: - Turn off core isolation in Windows ( default ON in Win11 and it c h o p s performance ) - Turn on resize bar in bios ( double digit fps boost in some games ) - Your GPU coil whine also could be managed trough undervolting it, but dont dig to deep. Undervolting is a too big of a rabbit hole xD
Damn! I just bought almost exact same pc yesterday! And are also building my first pc! Have had the same scary thoughts about the grown up legos, so thanks for the video! Its kinda more easy to understand from someone in the same shoes!
For anybody who is a first time builder, I would advise putting your cpu power cables into the motherboard, before you mount it into the pc case. This is where having a semi-modular or fully modular psu comes in handy. There is very little space for you to put the cables in these ports, while the pc motherboard is already installed. You'll have to get a flash light and if you have big hands like me use two to three fingers to push the cable into each 'cpu power' connector. This saves you a headache and time. You can then route these cables through the back before screwing down the motherboard. Also just like this guy read the manual each motherboard is different.
@@toebear you live and you learn. This used to not matter all that much back when motherboards used to put the cpu power in a more convenient place. Nowadays, they seem to want to put them in the back top close to the io and the top of the case, which means when you install your cpu cooler and then mount the motherboard you barely have space.
You should route 2 pcie power cables to the gpu from the psu instead daisy chaining single one. Also, the fans that come with Corsair 4000d are not PWM, that is why they are only 3 pins.
dude ive been looking for a building pc tutorial thats easy to understand and i think i found the best tutorial instead because omg not only you teach how to build but also how configure everything else in the pc i was gonna build my pc but i dittent wanna attend the risk of damaging any parts but even if this video is not usefull to me its insanely good and ill recommend it to all my friends that wanna build a pc
i'm not new at all to building a pc but this video is the more complete 'ive seen i think and the fact that this is your first time is absolutely mindblowing
100,000 MB isn't 100GB which is why you ended up with less than 100GB on the partition. A lot of people assume 1,000 MB = 1GB, when in fact it's 1024 MB per GB. Even Googles Unit Conversion gets this wrong, which is rather baffling
Absolutely loved how he included the errors he made while building it, makes the video way more human than most others for some reason. Also, definitely saving this video for later. Thank you!!❤
Your such a good explainer Ive watch couple of pc building tutorial , and none of them is as clear and simple as you . No bullshit , pure info and tips.
When you decided to run the GPU power cables through the bottom i cheered, so much cleaner. Great job with the PC build and great video with great information, the photos of your motherboards layout is fantastic to help percieve your conundrums. Again well done and hope your PC is working well!
18:45 The hell! isn't this by default? so i have been running my monitor at 60hz all this time??? Edit: oh man! day and night difference... my life was a lie🥲
this video made me feel super confident in being able to build a pc. Greatest tutorial ive ever seen, cuz it was made by a guy that is also new to pc building, but informed himself thoroughly
I'm just about to do almost the same and for the same reasons, with a little higher budget and probably over prepared. The hardest step for me is probably just hitting the "buy" button, because i tend to over compare and analyze every single part with dozens of other options and combinations. Your story / tutorial is amazing, was fun to watch in entire length without skipping a second. Wish me luck and i hope you are going to enjoy this PC for a long time!
It's recommended, you probably should do it but it's not necessary, it just ground you every so often so you don't have static build up which will reduce the risk of damaging a component if it's gets static electricity damage.@@Glowzz_Btw
u easily earned my sub. this was enjoyable to watch as i waited for my parts to come in the mail for my first build and your windows setup part helped me a lot because linus doesnt talk much about the actual step by step guide that I saw. the "thats what we are dealing with" and the hmph noises were super funny and engaging
Absolutely loved this video, you explained everything very well and precisely. I'm helping my friend build his computer soon, and I wouldn't have known about the bios update, let alone motherboard drivers lol. Thanks for the great video!
Awesome build. I would add another fan or two to the front as it can only benefit you and cable splitters might even help your cable management (not that your cable management is bad or anything), but that's my only advice. Extremely well done video. Welcome to the world of PC gaming! I feel your pain of having a underpowered laptop for a long time. I finally got my own PC about four or so years ago and have slowly upgraded all the parts as time has gone on. Rocking the RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 7700x now.
Nicely done for a first time build ! Good part selection within budget ! I love this video, it reminded me of my first time when I was scared to not break anything. 1 thing to remember going forward is that the components are decently strong. You wont break anything if you apply a bit of force.
But everyone don't buy a GPU just for Gaming , Productivity is also important in which AMD is bottom of the barrel even 4060 is better in productivity than any AMD GPU even top end ones.
@@Coverpage2568 From someone who used both, just don't get started there, don't. Even those ARCs from Intel are almost as good, with interesting features (although they lack a lot of others)
Well Done! I've always believed the little front IO cables are the most tedious (i messed up so much on my first time there). This is so comprehensive that I wish i had this video years ago when I first stated building them. Great video for first time builders!
Been building PCs now for 12 years and I still sat down and watched the entire thing for some reason. Gonna be making my own 9800X3D + 7900XT build after the GPU and case come in on Dec 2nd, can't wait. I've never heard about the "Start Boost" with MS Edge, thanks man.
I can guarantee it isn’t. Those small fans get high pitched as hell when actually running under load. Larger PC fans (120mm, 140mm) is damn near silent unless you’re putting the thing under high load, and even then, it’s a lower pitch and less noticeable.
21:30 reminded me that a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a very important thing to add to your PC build. You won't have to worry as much about the power going out because if it does, the UPS can provide power for a short while.
This is a great video! I'm going to build my PC tomorrow and turns out you're using a ton of the same components as me (CPU, cooler, case), so this is incredibly valuable to help me! Your presentation style is incredibly intuitive and easy to follow along! :)

23:20 The coil whine usually happens when your GPU outputs high FPS. For me it occurs at 500+ (usually just loading screens for me lol). If it really annoys you, you can get rid of it by limiting your framerate. You probably won't see a difference if you set it to 300 FPS.
There is a good reason to partition any drive. If you decide to reinstall windows, you will format C drive and loose all data, that's why I prefer to keep all my data on D drive.
about your daisy chaining comment, while you are correct running daisy chained off of one pcie 8 pin is usually fine. the 150W power rating is for an 18 AWG cable, which can only handle ~150W. the corsair rm series and other high end power supplies typically use 16AWG or sometimes 14AWG cables, which can handle well over 300 watts with no issues. i used to run my rx 6900xt daisy chained off of my corsair rm850x, and drawing over 400 watts and was perfectly fine. even still, using multiple power supply cables can help deliver "cleaner" power which can be better (although you will only probably notice it if you are overclocking a LOT, and i mean a lot, like subzero overclocking). theres no harm in running daisy chain (unless maybe its a 4090 or you have a really bad power supply), but theres always no harm in running all the cables.
its also bad moneyise, you're telling the gpu and th cou to give it every ouncee of power it can when leaving the fps uncappedwhich means running on higher wattage levels which leads to more electricity leading up to a higher electricity bill. Just cap the fps to the hz of the monitor because you won't see the difference above 240hz assuming you wouldn't buy a 360hz or 540hz monitor.
I build mine tomorrow and this video gave a lot more confidence than a regular guide because we both don’t know what we are doing
how did it go ?
I cracked up at every “that’s what we’re dealing with”, but the best one was 16:28. Nice vid
Well done for a first time build. Solid no nonsense PC that met your needs.
one of the best 1500$-1600$ budget gaming PCs i have seen, great job on the parts selection, it's nearly perfect.
What would’ve been better as you say nearly perfect?
how is that budget xdd
@@dharmikpatel8439I don’t think you need a 7800x3d for a 7800 xt so you can def save money going a lower end cpu and getting a better graphics card. Can get cheaper ssds, and the power supply is kinda overkill
@@luukschouten9108 do you not understand the fact that there was literally a number next to it? any amount of money you set aside for your pc is a budget by definition
is this the new price for building a new pc from scratch now? I remember 5 years ago doing under 1000$. When he said reasonable price I was expecting 500-700$ and then was shocked at the actual price.
I'm still in the 7th minute and I alr knew how to build PCs, BUT, you basically resumed every single youtube tutorial in one so great job, I will recommend this video to anyone who wants to build their own PC. so much value in this video. what u are saying in one video, I had to go through 3 or 4 that are longer to get the same information. well done (my english isn't my 1st language so apologies xD)
update, I didn't even know that Edge Startup thing! i also didn't know you could disable the snap windows features (the first thing I do when I get anything new is to see everything I can change and customize)
This video is so good. I’ve been wishlisting a PC for about half a year now, and I’ve finally got one. I used your video as a guide and found it incredibly helpful, especially with the cable management junk. Every second of this video was incredible and has saved me so much time building my own PC
amazing work for building a computer for the first time. you did all the research on hardware compatibility, how to assemble a pc, what to look out for when you do it, trouble shoot it afterwards and made a really entertaining video for other people to follow it.
literally the best pc building video ever made, its gonna help me so much in a month when I'll be building my own pc. KEEP IT UP
Cheers!
I don't think you have to switch the power supply on before you touch it.. as long as it's plugged in.
They're telling you to touch it because the metal is attached to the bond wire, which is bonded to ground.
As long as the cable is plugged into it, you shouldn't need to switch it on, as that just connects the line and load sides coming from your service panel, completing a circuit.
I have some tips for your build:
9:40 The usb-c connector (type E connector) only goes in one way. Notice how one of the edges is wider than the rest. Specifically, at 9:45 you can see how the pins are slightly off-center.
10:40 NC is short for no-connection, meaning that pin is just a piece of metal used to fill out empty space (it's there so other connectors can't be plugged in). As it is, the reset switch is not functional and instead needs to be connected to RSTCON# and Ground (notice the two lines below these words at 10:42).
11:05 I happen to have the same case as you (except white). The 3.5" hard drive "shelves" can be entirely removed from the case so you have more room to work with the power supply. It also results in an opportunity for better airflow (not that it really matters down there).
+ put the PSU in and route the cables around first

This video that randomly appears on my feed a month after it was uploaded is unironically better than any PC Assembly video I searched for. Thanks man! Haven't built a PC yet but this video gives me the confidence to try. It's also nice to see where can things can go wrong or easy mistakes to make in the process.
Fr. Imma build a pc soon myself and videos like these kind of relax me. Of course the first half was kinda easy plugging in but the second one was just selecting stuff on youre pc to install everythg and get itgoing.
Honestly, this is better than watching a "pro" build a PC.
Because they won't show the little problems you run into like you did.
Actually great tutorial, ive watched alot of pc building tutorials and this is by far one of the best.
One tip for you, your card is a very high end card that consumes good amount of power, i advise you to buy an extra pcie cable for your gpu (very very important for it to match the psu brand and cable type). That insures that your card gets enough power, and i strongly believe it would reduce if not eliminate the gpu coil whine you’re hearing.
The main reason for this tip is that a single pcie cable supplies up to 175 watts, the motherboard gpu slot supplies 75 watts, you used a pig tail cable ( the split cable in the gpu) this doesn’t make the cable supply more power magically, though its totally fine for a lower-mid range card, an extra cable would give you the sufficient power needed. Excellent video and i hope i helped someone.
the only thing the gpu will do if you run pig tail is it will try to draw the power it needs through the 1 pcie cable. 7800 xt needs around 266 Watt. so it shouldn't cause a problem. the only time I would go out and buy an extra cable for it is if i want to use a graphics card that needs more power or if the current pcie cable are bad quality. If the psu came with 2 pcie cables go for it, use both.
Interesting that you’re mentioning this, i just ordered a new gpu, the XFX AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT and i currently have the Corsair TX650M PSU. Not that this gpu is high end or what not, but i was just wondering if it’s just a plug and play situation or not. The 2060 i’m currently using uses one 8pin atm and the 6750 uses two 8 pins. I have two 8 pins available tho
All in all, congrats with your new PC, and congrats on this excellent guide on how to build a PC!
I am currently building my first PC too, the youtube algorithm must've caught up to that and recommended me this vid. I got pretty much the same main components as you do in your build, I honestly didn't have the patience for the whole thing, especially cables, they really discouraged me and I couldn't find tutorials that made it any easier to understand the many cables, as a first time builder it can be really frustrating especially if your mobo brand isn't the finest with manuals (I didn't get a manual for some reason). You seriously delivered on a tutorial that I couldn't find anywhere! I am not a smart guy and now it's idiot proof. Thank you for motivating me finishing my build.
Parts wise this is almost exactly what I want my next PC to look. My current one is okay for the time being but sometime in the next year or 2 I'll be upgrading. Thanks for sharing :)
For someone building their PC for the first time, you surprisingly made a pretty good tutorial... better than most of the tutorials out there
Should I buy this pc for gaming?
@@Das_P-vq7kz yeah! pretty good pc for gaming for sure
@@Das_P-vq7kz No. A lot of these part choices are pretty bad
Its nice seeing another first time builder build their own pc. Im still on the process of getting all of my pc parts before I can do that though. Gives me conference to try it myself.
In all doesn't seem too hard if you follow the instructions and carefully put it together which is good!
this is my favorite pc build video yet. so calm and relaxing. with subtle goofs along the way
I've been building my own PC's for the past 10 years. This was a great first time build! I love the subtle jokes and gags, really made me laugh. 😂 Congrats on your first build.
Cheers! I'm glad u enjoyed it!
This is seriously the most well done begginer friendly pc building tutorial!
Bro made a tutorial with no experience
But really tho this is really helpful
@@brentopp1ermoreyeah far more helpful than those expert guides as they leave a lot of this stuff out
@@brentopp1ermoreWhen building my pc recently I made the same mistake not screwing in the SSD stand before screwing in the m.2, even after watching this and the LTT video hahaha. It bent the same as in the video and I prayed it didn't break and thankfully it didn't. It was really scary though.
I am an It-Specialist. Everytime i build a PC, i get nervous, i hate it.
Nice to see you go down that path.
EDIT: And i acutally learned something from your video.
You're a software developer. Not an IT specialist. You know how to type on a keyboard, nothing about system builds/servers and networking, etc.
I'm an IT engineer, and it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video.
It was, however, very catchy, quirky and extremely funny with all the small jokes he made. I understand how appealing it is for people that have an interest in building machines.
Great video, keep it up bud!
@@dsk_1337 Whats your problem man?
1. Yes i am a Software Developer.
2. system builds/servers and networking, etc. are basic subject areas in the training programme for IT specialists (regardless of the specialisation) in my country. That concludes that i am a IT Specialist specialised in Software Development.
3. I, in fact did learn something new from this video, how would you know?
4. It's nice for you, that you already did knew everything he showed.
5. Even if you are an IT Enineer, that does not mean you know everything about Hard and Software, most IT Engineer as well as Specialists and even Developers or System Integrators or Admins, can now a lot about other stuff of the big IT and are also be able to not know everything.
What kind of IT Engineer are you, there are a number of subject areas in which IT engineers work that don't always all mesh together.
6. I do know a lot more than just "Typing on a keybord" but you seem to not know more than just being a dick.
7. You just cant know everything. No one does.
@@dsk_1337 nice of you, to just assume stuff
1. Yes i am a Software Developer
2. system builds/servers and networking, etc are a fundamental part of training as an IT specialist (regardless of specialisation) in my country. I also work on server systems as a hobby. Saying i know nothing other than just typing on a keyboard, is not very nice of you. Software Developer ist just my work title.
3. Since number 2 already specified what a IT Specialist in my country is. I can tell you, that i am in fact a IT Specialist, specialised in Software Development.
4. I did learn something new from this video, because you cant know everything. How can you proof that i did not learn something new, or that others did not learn something?
You are basically saying that Bog's video did not give any useful information. Thats not very nice of you. ("it's literally impossible to have learnt anything new from this video")
5. Good for you that you already knew everything from this video.
6. You are an IT Engineer? Tell me, what did you actually do? IT Engineers are not doing everything, they also specialise in stuff, like Big Data, AI, Software Developtment or Hardware Maintanance like IT Infrastructures. Hardware and Software Troubleshooting and Helpdesk or first/second level support are not IT Engineer work.
7. I in fact did work as a Software Developer in a big company and i did work as a System Administator in a small company.
Better yourself.
@@dsk_1337you’re a loser 😂
@@LakayFTW Nice of you to take so much time out of your day to reply with absolute bullshit. Clearly clueless. Have a good day
Amazing documentation. Everything in this video I feel like I went through. The only parts that I didn't experience myself was the SSD torture (hurts my soul), and the fan connector issues.
You read directions perfectly, and got it looking professional. Props to you! Amazing first build.
SSD: I love torturing souls...
Clean, informative, all the way through, no BS, no time wasted, wonderful for beginner builders as it does save a lot of time and headache.
Just a very well done tutorial, straight to the point, nicely done!
Can I just say I didn't know about the bypass that's brilliant
This is actually a very helpful video for when I will eventually build mine, learned a lot of things thanks to you.

woah dude i literally just started looking into pc building a week ago
Nice, are you going to biuld it for gaming?
@@bogxd not sure if i really will buy anything but yeah
I started look at building a pc YERSTERDAY
@@starrymohannad lol noice
keep in mind all the new gen parts are coming out this year, and AMD just announced their new CPUs
Suprised how great you managed your first build!
3 Advices for your build I have which will boost its performance even more are:
- Turn off core isolation in Windows ( default ON in Win11 and it c h o p s performance )
- Turn on resize bar in bios ( double digit fps boost in some games )
- Your GPU coil whine also could be managed trough undervolting it, but dont dig to deep. Undervolting is a too big of a rabbit hole xD
then SAM after resize bar in adrenaline
'More force than I expected to need' is a great way to articulate how much force you need to install RAM and CPUs in LGA sockets to a beginner
Didn't know about turning off Microsoft Edge startup boost. Thanks for sharing. Sweet build. :)
Damn! I just bought almost exact same pc yesterday! And are also building my first pc! Have had the same scary thoughts about the grown up legos, so thanks for the video! Its kinda more easy to understand from someone in the same shoes!
Good luck 👍
For anybody who is a first time builder, I would advise putting your cpu power cables into the motherboard, before you mount it into the pc case. This is where having a semi-modular or fully modular psu comes in handy. There is very little space for you to put the cables in these ports, while the pc motherboard is already installed. You'll have to get a flash light and if you have big hands like me use two to three fingers to push the cable into each 'cpu power' connector. This saves you a headache and time. You can then route these cables through the back before screwing down the motherboard. Also just like this guy read the manual each motherboard is different.
i wish i saw this yesterday
@@toebear you live and you learn. This used to not matter all that much back when motherboards used to put the cpu power in a more convenient place. Nowadays, they seem to want to put them in the back top close to the io and the top of the case, which means when you install your cpu cooler and then mount the motherboard you barely have space.
You should route 2 pcie power cables to the gpu from the psu instead daisy chaining single one. Also, the fans that come with Corsair 4000d are not PWM, that is why they are only 3 pins.
dude ive been looking for a building pc tutorial thats easy to understand and i think i found the best tutorial instead because omg not only you teach how to build but also how configure everything else in the pc i was gonna build my pc but i dittent wanna attend the risk of damaging any parts but even if this video is not usefull to me its insanely good and ill recommend it to all my friends that wanna build a pc
i'm not new at all to building a pc but this video is the more complete 'ive seen i think and the fact that this is your first time is absolutely mindblowing
congrats on your new PC and your first build!
100,000 MB isn't 100GB which is why you ended up with less than 100GB on the partition. A lot of people assume 1,000 MB = 1GB, when in fact it's 1024 MB per GB. Even Googles Unit Conversion gets this wrong, which is rather baffling
3 pin fans are voltage controlled, 4 pin fans are pwm controlled. You can just change the 4 pin plug to do either in the bios.
I love how this tutorial covered literaly EVERYTHING, im about to build my pc too and u can be sure that i’ll watch this video again before
Absolutely loved how he included the errors he made while building it, makes the video way more human than most others for some reason. Also, definitely saving this video for later. Thank you!!❤

Awesome build.

I love this video, it reminded me of my first time when I was scared to not break anything. 1 thing to remember going forward is that the components are decently strong.

I can guarantee it isn’t. Those small fans get high pitched as hell when actually running under load. Larger PC fans (120mm, 140mm) is damn near silent unless you’re putting the thing under high load, and even then, it’s a lower pitch and less noticeable.

21:30 reminded me that a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a very important thing to add to your PC build. You won't have to worry as much about the power going out because if it does, the UPS can provide power for a short while.
