am i the only one experiencing nvidia control panel not coming with the driver and having to download it from the windows app store these days?
Crap. We meant to mention this. If you encounter this you’ll need to download it from the Microsoft store. I can’t remember why Microsoft started requiring this but it’s becoming more common with version 19XX and newer
@@Jayztwocents Just finished my first build so the timing of this video was perfect. Thanks!
I just have AMD so it never works
I used dch driver without no issues since I fixed the nvidia driver crashing since the launch of dch driver I upgrade it as usual over the older driver. I dont use ddu which wipes out the tdr registry every single time I update. And the trouble using the ddu is it wipes out the nvidia control panel settings for every application so you end up tweaking it again which is a pain in my opinion
I see it after almost every install now, not sure what trigger it, but downloading from the microsoft store fixes it.
I am a 75 year old male with limited intelligence and eyesight but today I put together my first desktop pc--Thank You for your videos and instructions--Cliff
very nice 👍
Congrats dude, im 14 and i made mine today. Did you have any trouble with it? Have a good day :)

Edit (5/3/22): Since this has gotten so many replies and likes I figured I'd come back to say that I have now built my pc and everything went great! Hopefully everybody else that was also going to build their own computers as well was also successful and didn't have many issues either!

Learning how to build my first computer around 16/17, A LOT of what was in this video are things I have, to this day twelve years later, never done.
Thank you so much for going over all of this. I’m not the newest kid on the block to building a computer, and now I’m not the most ignorant.
Great video!!
I'm more than a year late adding this comment, but thank you for this video. I built my first PC from scratch in November 2021, and this video was my 100% step by step after the physical PC was put together and plugged in. I've had so much fun improving and tinkering with the build since, but it wouldn't have been possible without your walkthrough on the things I wouldn't have known I needed to do before thinking I was "done" with the original build!
me: watching this before building my pc
also me: realizes i'm going to have to watch this again once i finish
Lmaoooo same
same haha
meeee lmao
Omg same I have to watch again once I buy my stuff to build a gaming pc
Haha watch again ONCE? Nah bro I rewatched this thing a couple more times hahaha
What to do after building :
>Realize you don't have time to play games
>Download a clock screensaver
>Let pc slowly turn into a 2000$ RGB clock
I feel like this is going to be me lol.
You're right.. 😂😂😂🇺🇸😎
There is always time to play games. Like that 8 hours you waste lying in bed...
@@MrGrumblier or those 12 hours you spend at work... just sayin.
@@josuad6890 Well, without the 12 hours at work, you can't build the new PC?
So many guys I watch are pumping info out like it's their job and it gets boring to listen to. I like how it feels like an interesting conversation on your videos. I appreciate your videos so much.

This is the best set up video. Walked me all the way trough installing windows and configuring on my first proper desktop PC. I am actually a little bit proud that I managed to do it ''on my own'' but without Jay there's no way I would be able to finish all that successfully. Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video. I just built my first computer and I had no idea that RAM was de-tuned out of the box. I was only getting 3100mhz out of the advertised 6000mhz. What a difference after enabling expo! Programs open in the blink of an eye! Liked and subscribed to your channel.

Just want to thankyou jay for your videos. In the space of a week I've gone from having very limited pc knowledge, to designing and building my 1st pc to progress my dive down the rabbit hole of sim racing. Going from assembling, installing windows, undervolting my 12900k to get temps down and stress testing the build. Was also good to share the 1st build with my 8 year old son and get him hands on with me. Cheers 🍻, I'm now an avid follower for jayztwocents.
This video is such a life saver. Honestly, I wish the hand holding continued and you included installing all the other drives all the way up to downloading a game and 🙈 some of us need to be led that far 😂…
But I do appreciate how far you’ve taken me with this video. Thank you so much. 🙏🏽

I just put my desktop Tower in the shop to be upgraded and I'll follow this video first thing once I get it back. There's no telling what that shop is doing in my desktop and it's set up phases. So optimizing it to Jay's recommendations is top notch! Thank you very much Jay!!
I’m the process of building my first machine in years! Your vids have been a god send! Especially the one on what we don’t need! All the bogus RGB extras! I’m already buying some pretty valuable equipment and as you said RGB should be an afterthought. I was under the impression that more expensive was better…
That feeling when you spend all your money on hardware and have no money left for games...

Pro tip: after getting Windows up to date, run "disk cleanup" and delete the old Windows installation files freeing up 20 GB plus on your operating system drive. You're welcome.
thanks
Can I just find it if I type "disk cleanup" in the win search bar?
ItzStreamBot do i go to properties when i right click the disk on my computer?
Yes, right click on drive > properties > "disk Cleanup box (about 2/3rd of the way down on the right)
Or, enter "disk cleanup" in the Windows search bar and select the drive you wish to cleanup.@@JLRvirtuoso
uhh i think you might need them for backup?
I had absolutely no idea how to begin when I finished building my tower. This was SO HELPFUL!! Thank you Jay!
Great video. I'm currently putting together my 1st pc build but had no idea what to do when 1st hitting that power button. This video has given me great confidence that as long as I don't have any conflicts or errors, I can handle the initial setup. Thank you very much for sharing this info.
As a person who has never built a PC before (I'm planning to soon), this was a great tutorial. Very informative and easy to understand. Thanks JTC.
Pro tip: make sure you really look at what you need. I bought a single 500 gig ssd and quockly realized I was out of space and had to buy another. Also, ensure that you research to see when new parts are coming out to see if you should wait. A month or two after I built my PC with a 2070 the 2070 super came out for like 50 dollars less than I paid for mine. Lol
I'd suggest starting with a budget and look for a good build video and copy their part list and you're good to go. That's what I recently did and couldn't be happier with it.
OG Sniper is it a bad idea to try build a top of the range one first try?
@Vijai Ramharrack Yeah same here. This guide will be very useful.
OG Sniper I am probably going to build a pc within the next year and it my first time but if your building a high end pc for your first time I would suggest getting someone with experience about building PCs to help you
This comment will likely get lost in the sea of others, but I am a veteran PC builder and upgrade every few years, I still learned a good deal from this video (my methods were slightly out of date). Everything here is super clear and concise and I even have a very similar build to you that I am about to piece together! Thanks for everything, liked and subscribed.

Tribal Humor you should probably check the RAM speeds, most of the time by default they run much slower than possible
@@tribalhumor6684 if your board came supported for your cpu and your not running into problems. The only reason would be if there is some security flaw to patch or feature you need. In bios (or CPUz) you can see what version you have and on the motherboard bios page it should walk you through what the new ones add if you needed it.
@@coryandrum Okay stop giving advice lol. You've never touched a custom build/bios in your life
Bing by google 😂 I noticed that too but seeing it in your time stamps made me laugh maniacally. Thanks
2 years on and it's still a well-made How-To. One thing I will add, if you right-click the start button, you can go to Disk Manager (or a bunch of other system admin/management tools) from that menu.
"If you have a job, school, and studies and u need sleep there is basically no time to play games"
Me:"And I took that personally."
lol
@@Potatonater. League of Legends
I have job, school and studies yet I still give myself enough time to play games even I need to sleep
it's even worse when you're in a lot of projects and also work out
If you don't have a job (retired) or study (except for reading books) and you need sleep, there is basically still not enough time to play games. This is mostly because as you get older it takes you twice as long to do anything as it used to.
My tip: Don't start doing this at 12 am when you have to work in the morning
too late
That’s a free tech tip your gonna put Linus out of business
Lol. It's 1:15 am and I've got work in less than 7 hours.

Wish I'd read your comment 3 hours earlier, it's midnight and I start work at 5am :(
Another important NVIDIA Control Panel option is Threaded Optimization - a LOT of games run better with this OFF, though your milage may vary. If you're experiencing inexplicable stuttering in a resource-intensive game, consider disabling this.
Wait, really?
Honestly the rule of thumb I've adopted is only touching the NVIDIA Control Panel if I REALLY need the extra performance. If I'm already maxing my monitor HZ and it's stable, it doesn't NEED tweaking. But for something like CS2 I will tweak and find the best possible settings.
Absolutely fantastic video, thank you. It covered so many things that I have and have had questions about. You and Linus are the defacto go-to sources of information, with you being a little more heavy on the information side, which I appreciate. Thanks!

Chibuike Enebeli :: Make sure your LAN driver is installed. Also, make sure you don’t need to connect the antenna that may have come with your motherboard.
The last thing to consider is that your motherboard doesn’t have a built-in wireless adapter, in which case you’ll need an ethernet cable.
Was your first time building one overwhelming or stressful because I’m feeling both right now I’m kind of having second thoughts
J&N Airsoft nah you’ll be fine, just think of all the components as Lego for adults! Most things are labelled which makes it easier to put together, just do as much research as possible and you’ll be completely fine! Unless you get REALLY unlucky and get a bad psu or something

This is such a helpful video. Because of you I now have completed my first ever build. Thank you!
When I decided to build a pc when I was about 16 I researched parts and build guides every day for a while until I felt proficient enough to buy the best parts in my price range and build it. I knew more about different parts and functions that I probably needed to, and when I was done building I turned it on and had 0 clue what to do next. I had no idea how to get windows on my computer and didn’t even know what a driver was. Just shows no matter how much you spend on a pc, optimizing and using the damn thing are most important.
Yep we just want to start gaming on something decent. I read up a bit on what I needed, got some advice from a friend and bought the best I could afford. Screwing it all together looks straightforward but setting up the OS is going to be the complicated part I think.

Incredibly helpful, thank you. Hadn't realized I could keep internet disconnected upon Windows install.

This is perfect for me. I am about to do my first complete build later this month. Up until now I have had prebuilt.
Thank you so much for making this video! I grew up thinking that building your own PC to game, work, etc is special and sorta like a milestone that you do yourself and mostly by yourself. And as many tech friends as I have... I really don't want to ask any of them for help because I feel like they'd take over and rob me of the experience of building my first PC with whatever trial and error that's going to have.
Be sure to buy a USB stick that´s "really over 8Gb" to install windows, most brands will market 8gb media but will only be about 7,8gb and Windows will not allow you to install from that stick.
? I've used 8GB USB drives without problems. The Windows installation files will not take up more than around 4-5GB so an 8GB USB drive will be fine.

The 8gb drive was formatted and totally ready but it had actually a little less than 8gb, like 7,8gb. It´s not how much space the files will use, it´s the space that windows requires from the drive. Maybe there are other drives that are marketed as 8gb with actual 8gb space in them Idk
@@tomasgrimm3086 Drive manufacturers use base 10 to describe drive sizes. Windows uses base 2, so there will be discrepancies between the actual capacity of the drive and what Windows sees. You’ll always have less space on a drive than what it shows up as.
and also USB3 for less annoyance and slowness while transferring files. have multiple thumb drives, label them.
I didn’t realise how big my flash drive was until it came... I think 36gb is a bit too big
I can't believe what the "BIOS" screen looks like these days! lol It's own GUI! Great videos. Thanks!
Its so much better than the plain blue bioses of the pentium 3 4 ish era

Absolutely invaluable stuff here Jay, im a 49 year old uk military vet, and decided to build my own pc, and finally built it and finished it today 21.12.2022, and can't thank you enough, and subscribed immediately after finding out from you how to give the bird to the Microsoft big brother is watching stuff and the urgh !!!! urgh!!! urgh!!! is funny and worrying at the same time and cant thank you enough.
another excellent video. I built my first computer back in the mid 90s. I knew nothing, and I mean nothing, about computers. A friend was kind enough to give me a Packard Bell computer. It was running Windows 3.1. I used that for about a year and really got into it. I started reading computer magazines. After a year or so I felt like I outgrew that machine so I ordered a case with the motherboard installed from Tiger Direct. Don't ask me how but I got the parts I needed, put them all together and lo and behold, it booted up! A friend lent me his Windows 95 disc and I was off and running. Never looked back. Been hooked ever since. Eventually ended up working in IT for 20 years. Have built many computers for myself over the years. Sure could have used youtube back then. I still watch channels like yours and I still learn things. Thanks for all that you do for the computing community.
I want to actually build a computer myself for the first time. This info & the process in this video is what I was unclear about. Not really a tech guy but I love gaming. This has shed a much needed light on that subject. Thanks Jay! Happy Thanksgiving
Pro Tip: Download all your drivers, tools, must haves to a USB drive before hand and use that to install everything after OS is installed.
I definitely second this. So much faster and allows you to install everything even if you don't have internet.
This is especially useful for motherboard drivers. It ensures anything and everything on that board will work. It's rare but sometimes a device might not work which could be your network card, and no internet means no fixing.
I do this since windows 98. Download all necessary stuff 1st in a separate media (back then cd,dvd now days usb) . Then unplug net , install Windows, then install all then disabled all privacy and spyware stuff. Then pug into net.
TheSkepticSkwerl learned that back on the am3 boards, confused as shit... finally looked in the box and saw the cd and went “oh” now having built more computers usbs are amazing
This is what I generally do as well.
I’d love to see a PART 2 to this video on benchmarking your new system and how to save the data for comparison to changes later for a “stock” reference point.
Take picture lol.,...........
KipacWF
That’s a horrible method.... I’m not talking about a timespy score or something. I’m talking about like when you run the GTA bench mark and it gives you back a bunch of frame rates and frame times and about what data to keep And what’s less important for comparisons, etc.
This video was fantastic! about to do my first ever pc build, and no build videos seem to cover in depth on how to install windows once you freshly build a new PC.
I really needed a "explain to me like im 5" type video, and this was it!
❤ Thanks so much for sharing these next steps with us!
A complete guide giving a wholesome view of getting your system up and running once it's built. Absolutely basic and informative. We have so many pc builder videos but no-one is talking about what to do next. Thanks a ton Jay,this video is a savior, loved it!!
Linus got me through the hardware, you got me through the software. Thank you so much man.
You are the man Jay! Thank you so much for all the guidance you provide. You have helped me successfully build my first PC!
Your tip on the graphics card drivers helped me finally update mine. Kept getting an error when trying to update through the Nvidia experience. Instead i did a download and a clean install. Thank you.
me : *continues to watch pc building tutorials and how to install stuff*
also me : *doesnt have a pc*
I identify myself in here xd
Also me
Ive been there
You'll get there
idowonderz one day but I feel like I’ll get too old when I have it
Perfect timing. I'm building my 1st 100% new pc and my parts arrive tomorrow
theqrokz good luck, have fun
Hey good luck have fun also if your downloading the USB I have a few suggestions for that
Also if you want a windows 10pro key for 30 bucks use kingquin its legit
Never buy grey market keys, they may get locked out in the future.

Such an amazing video. I've used this for reference on multiple computers now, as well as when I had to do a complete rewrite and install of windows one time. Thank you Jay and friends!
Unfortunately the biggest issue people have is not addressed. Windows installation now requires a connection, yet the drivers for connecting to internet are not installed. So the hard part is getting those installed manually through command prompt. There’s also the fact that you can’t pair bluetooth devices so you’ll need a wired keyboard/mouse. If you have those, then you can bypass the connection step , then when on desktop, manually install the drivers from a usb for internet from your MB support page.
Again this was the biggest pain for a new setup^ and sadly it was skipped over in this video as ms no longer allows you to just not be connected to internet and skip it. They want everyone using a ms account, not local.
@@carsonhunt4642 i mean it was relevant when this video was released...
@@carsonhunt4642 i just did everything step by step and everything works, you dont need a connection or any cmd commands.. idk where youre getting your info from
@@ItsLipNix
You made a new build with a clean install of windows? Newest win11 install requires internet unless use cmd to bypass it, maybe you used an older windows?
Motherboards don’t have drivers pre installed for int/wifi. The average user does not know how to install the internet drivers through cmd, they’d want access to the desktop first.
Anyways it’s simple once you know how to fix it it. The problem is most users aren’t expecting their wifi/eth to not work, and then told to install drivers before they can even access desktop. It’s a windows install problem that causes unnecessary issues.
Congrats if you somehow avoided it. Google shows it’s quite common regardless.
@@carsonhunt4642 Yes. This video is about windows 10 not 11 you know?
Thank you for making this video. I bet I have watched it 15+ times. 😅 I know this is pretty elementary for your channel. I just wanted to let you know this video helped me “finalize” my build. And I trust your information because you are an expert in your field. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!
after watching this: *visible excitement*
checks wallet: *has two cents*
Edit (11/23/21): I earned enough money with the job that I love and I just returned here to finalize the settings to make my newly build pc running smoothly.
stop watching this and get a job.

I built my first ever PC today after loads of "studying" courtesy of Jay and many other PC YTers. This is very good work you do- thanks!
specs my guy?
@@Willy_Wanka nothing fancy cuz I ain't loaded: R5 3600 with stock cooler (kinda want a beefy tower cooler), Sapphire RX 5600 XT BE, Asus B550M Plus Wifi, Kingston a2000 NVMe, GSkill Trident Z 3200MHz CL16, FSP Hydro GE 650W, NZXT H510. Mildly tempted to add tasteful rainbow puke but I'm more likely to add bulk storage with a SATA drive.
@@Lyander25 I'm watching this because I'm upgrading CPU and MOBO so I can get an M2 drive. Congrats man enjoy it
@@jaiganticpooey3012 I am enjoying it immensely! Can't quite max out 1080p on new games or even consider 1440p but to say that this isn't a lot of fun would be a lie
Very good guide. What I always do after installing all drivers is go to the device manager to check whether there are still some unknown devices which still need a driver and then go on the hunt for those
It took me 3 hours to build my pc. It took me 4 days to get through the bios and have windows set up. Thank you for this upload!
My #1 Tip: Keep a bootable USB programmed and ready at all times in a drawer. Label it with tape so that no one confuses it.
Just label it as "sex tape", so no one will touch it.
This 100%. Saved me more than once!
The windows install usb he made in the video?
If i fuck up to the point I need to re install the os, downloading windows and making a bootable USB will be the least of my problems.
You got mess something up colossally to need a format these days.
@@V_0717 is it okay to install my drivers and the windows installation media on the same USB before booting up the PC for the first time?
