I might build a 7800X3D next, just refreshed my 9600k. I followed another channel's method for nvidia drivers of DDU and NVCleanstall for the driver (though it's not the latest one, so I guess I won't be playing Diablo 4 yet, should have less telemetry).

There are things I could learn to do like BIOs flash (I guess I never waited long enough), I could flash/order another usb to do that, though am happy where my OC settings are at mostly atm.
Can I update bios after having windows 10 installed or will this brick my asrock b550 steel legend motherboard? Asking because I've read online different people having their mb useless after bios update and they don't recommend it at all.😢
@@charliebrown4565 you would generally update once after you first get the pc running because bios versions are often a few months behind. After that, I personally don't update unless there is a very good need. This video provides info about bios update failures
After Windows installs and during the "setup steps" DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT connect to a WiFi network or have your network plugged in. If you do, then Microsoft pigeon holes you into using some kind of online account to access the computer. Its better to select the "I dont have internet" option, then it will allow you to create a local login and you can connect to the internet once Windows has fully started up.
@@pete5516because windows will download all kinds of blotware and it will set up its adware programs on your computer, download unnecessary software and gather all of your data based on your internet connection. The programs take up space, slow down cpu and use ram.
Windows recently changed this and there is now no visible option to connect without internet, but there actually is. Go look up a video that will show you how! Also I would recommend installing all your graphics drivers BEFORE connecting to the internet if you have a dedicated graphics card because otherwise windows will install their own, inferior drivers and will slow down your pc
I have not built a computer myself in over 14 years. in that time, a lot has changed with computers. This is by far, the most helpful how to video I have seen in the last two weeks. I defenetly recommend this video to anyone new or returning to custom builds.
Wow just completed pretty much all of the bios settings 1.5 years after building my first. Who know how much performance I’ve been missing out on. Thanks so much
big heads up for those might getting frustrated with no internet adaptors found. you might also have to download the drivers for your network adapter onto the usb as well and after windows is installed, go to device manager and find the network adapter and right click and update driver from the usb. This hassle took me 2 days to figure out
Geez, so much information crammed into twenty-two minutes. I know I'll be referring to this a lot when I complete my first build. Thanks a lot! Your hard work is appreciated.
I've been watching these videos for a year planning my long overdue upgrade. Everything I knew went right out the window when I pulled the trigger on the parts and put it together. This video is exactly what I needed to get it set up quickly. Thanks for taking the time to make these Jason.

Thank you SO MUCH, Jason! 1 question, I've read through the comments and no one else asked. Do I extract both Windows media and Bios in the same USB drive? That would make life simpler. Thank you in advance for the answer! Much love to you, your channel and Mr. Bear!
Hey I was wondering the same so glad you asked. Yet I have a follow up question as when I attempted to extract the zipped bios folder contents to the drive that was created from running the media creation tool the file explorer threw a warning that two files had mathcing names giving me the option to replace an already existing file made by the media creation tool (cant quite remember the filename, think it was boot). The MOBO model is gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax. Should this even be a problem? If yes, should one replace target files or try to keep both files but rename one of them somehow, or should one use one USB drive for BIOS and one for windows? Appreciate any help :D
@@mehmoh7828just extract the bios into its folder. the bios file does not have to be in the root folder (at least for my asrock it being in a folder was fine). you cant really break anything, worst thing that can happen is that the computer does not find your file.
Your videos are so incredibly concise and comprehensive I don't often leave comments but you have made my first pc build a breeze and minimised the time I had to spend looking stuff up. Thank you bro!
I researched, built, and tweaked my new PC after watching a lot of your videos. I can't thank you enough for all the info and updated vids. I usually build a new PC every 8 years so I have to do all the research all over again each time. Your vids helped me get my new PC all bought and setup a lot faster than my previous builds. Much love, mate!
Ditto. 8 year cycle here too. This has been the best place to learn all of this again. New PC Built and tweaked in the last 24 hours. The building part took longer than expected but this video has me cruising threw everything else.
Your videos are so detailed. Can't wait to give you the update on my PC on the next BMB. This really helped me with updating the BIOS. You explain things so easily and perfectly. Thank you, Jason.
Just completed my 2nd build. This one is AM5. Lots of info well presented , step by step I love it. That Bit Locker / encryption screen tripped me up. I said N and the system would not boot to windows. lol. 3 hours later after my research I said Y. Like magic , everything is working and all updates are in. Thx for your great tutorials
Just finished building my pc and want to get it game ready so far I’ve watch a few videos on this most said the same basic stuff but you really explained everything to us to show us why we want to do whatever your doing.
@@PCBuilderChannel damn PC is tough to figure out but it's running great! I'm am Xbox guy and loved how easy I was able to swap things over with no issues. I'll also get to play FF7 Rebirth and some Sony games so I'm excited
Rebar / SAM works for some 5000 series GPUs as well! Works for my Sapphire Pulse 5700xt with a notable increase in performance. Also, undervolting is pretty easy to do for AMD cpus that have PBO2. Set my 5800X3D to a -20 volt curve and it runs about 1% faster, but more importantly 10% cooler. No stability issues so far. Well worth trying out.
Seriously the best channel for this stuff. Straight to the point, DETAILED but also covers all bases. So many channels skip parts, dont cover all manufacturers or shill for certain products.
Much needed thank you Jason! I'm just about to build another gaming PC for my second kid to play Fortnite with us for our TH-cam channel, and everytime I get to this point I get nervous and pass it off to best buy to finish. This third build I will use this video to finish It myself!
Jason showing the rest of the YT tech community how it's done - flawless content as always 👍 For anyone wondering how good the content is: PC builder for 30 years, highly rate this guy's content and specifically this video is exactly what new and unsure folks need. Seriously underrated PC tech channel right here!
This is an amazing video, really thorough and easy to understand. Massive thanks for it. I do have a question related to the NVidia drivers though, is there a meaningful performance difference in gaming/productivity workloads with either one of the driver sets installed? I wanna use my new pc for both and am unsure whether I should install the "game ready" drivers or the "studio drivers". Knowing if gaming performance suffers a lot with the studio drivers (or vice-versa) would be a great help.
Jason, I just now finished my first ever PC build - Ryzen 7800x3D and 4090 included - and your guides on the order picking process, building setup, and this post build setup were crucial for getting me through everything. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you, much appreciation for all your hard work!
Fair play that's a nice approach to setting up a pc for a beginner 😊 I think you explained each topic well and nice to have the varieties covered of different components and manufacturers. I can add a recommendation to fan control is the software apley called "fancontrol". Justified by being able to do multiple fan curves for individual components. Also the ability to control the fans from the gpu not just the cpu. Also use the hottest component to ramp up the fans ❤
I’m so upset that I didn’t find this channel years ago when I got into PCs. Your videos are just as long/short as all the other big name channels but you somehow manage to cover 10x as much you’re FAR more thorough at explanations, and you dont convolute the information making it much easier to understand the important stuff. Thanks yet again!
*please don't be an April Fool's joke* *please don't be an April Fool's joke* *please don't be an April Fool's joke* Literally just placed an order for the second-last piece of my build (GPU), just waiting on the 7800X3D release now. This video couldn't be more perfectly timed!
Holy cow I've had my PC for 3 years and not done anything like this. Wow! I was always scared to mess around with my bios but after you explained it, I had no issues!
First time pc builder here and been a macOS user the last 14 years. THANK YOU for actually showing detailed step by step process. I knew nothing about anything pc related, but after watching this video a couple of times I don’t feel as scared to fk up my soon to be new pc
"Stop setting up bad PCs!!" 🔥🔥 This build guide is awesome. It's quick enough that we get all the information in a reasonable time, but thorough enough that we can follow along with confidence. This is the first PC I've build in 13 year and whenever I've have a question Jason would answer it the next sentence. 👍👍
Thank you so much Jason for a thorough guide on how to set a PC up! I finished assembling my build on the weekend and followed these instructions immediately after. For a 1st time build it went really smooth following the detailed steps and help links you provided. I am really happy with this new hobby and look forward to seeing your updates in the future over the current market environment for PC builds.
Just built my first Pc following all your videos on TH-cam. I have been watching them for 6-8 months, and I have learned so much from you. I also got good deals following your advice. Just wanted to come here and say Thank you. 😁
Thank you for letting us know! It really means a lot to me. Congrats on your build! Show off a build pic if you like on twitter / threads @pcbuilderjason
This is a great solid framework. Well done, and thanks! I even picked up a couple things even though I've been building PCs for a long time. Also, bonus points for also being in the black cat club!
Very informative, great personality. From picking the parts, to building and setting up the PC, your videos walked me through it. I just want to say thank you so much Jason, you are a life saver.
I followed this video step by step on everything. This was my first pc build and first time ever doing anything like this before. Everything came up smooth and my pc runs great. Thank you for all your help and the great information in this video.
Hi Jason, just wanted to let you know i finished my build and it is working flawlessly, i even managed to overclock the RAM, and turn on Resizable BAR i did pick cheap case fans so it is slightly louder than necessary, but i will replace them soon. Thanks for all the help!
This video has been an absolutely fantastic resource. One note, on my Asus Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi D4 mobo: after Windows install from USB, I came to a halt because I needed to download and install the LAN/Wi-Fi drivers before I could connect to the internet. I used the same USB drive and 2nd PC to download and then install on the new machine. After that was back on track updating windows. Hopefully this helps if someone hits the same hiccup. Great video and amazing resource as always Jason! Just wrapping up my first build ever!!
I've seen a lot of video's like this and most are decent but have unneeded bloat of some kind or have no order or structure for a sequence of events that someone that has zero experience needs. Its fine to say "do this this this and this" but still confusing and can intimidate you more when you don't have a clue. This video has pretty much no bloat and it gives you a sequence and an order that makes sense and confidence that you set your rig up right. Great job!
@PCBuilderChannel Just finished my first build. Literally last night and it works! Your parts list for a $1700 mid range and this video. Only difficulty was windows 11 said my new computer with a Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070ti didn't meet minimum system specs and wouldn't install!? So I wasted money on a win11 pro key. So made a new win10 usb and its up and running. Though for some reason my Gigabyte motherboad is stopping at boot and I have to press N before windows loads up. No idea how to fix that. Thanks for what you do! Between the parts and the software recomendations and how to's I would have never even attempted it.
the tip with ramping up the CPU cooler first was a really good one! for some reason i had all my fans (cpu + case fans) all on the same curve, i changed it now and put the CPU one to ramp up a lot sooner, has helped with temps and noise levels a lot!
Dude, I have no clue why is this video have a little of likes. As a system administrator I can proove that your advices is 100% accurate and easy to understand for avarage user.
I was so skeptical of this because of the date it was posted on, but this is amazing. Will definitely refer to this the next time I upgrade my system. Trying to remember every step is hard. Thank you thank you.
Just used your code for windows 10 on the pc my son and I built him after watching your video atpeast a dozen times. Thanks for info. Was a great experience with him.
great job man with your videos i bought the best parts and build my 1st PC in my life :3 keep on doing what you doing your videos gives alooot of knowledge i didn`t know anything about pc parts and with you i learn alot : )
thank you so much for all the help in pricing out, building and setting up a great computer. I watched your videos for the last 6 months and from the day i pulled the trigger on purchases it only took me about 2 weeks to have a fully built computer with very high resolution and frame rate.
Thanks for all the very helpful videos!!!! I was able to purchase, put together and optimize a great gaming rig with your help and now all that’s left it to wait for my games to download and install 😁
YOU ARE A GOD! Thanks to your amazing Tutorial i was able to fully set up my new pc that thanks to your tutorial and other youtubers i was able to build it myself!
Jason you can mark off another one, I completed my first build with your help. I brought my windows key through your link too. I followed everything you said and only issue I had was the first boot up, MSI board needed bios update, I was confused at first but you mentioned this may happen. Thank you Jason your information was very helpful and I'm extremely happy 😁
One shortcut to the advanced startup options page is clicking restart from the start/windows power option while holding the shift key and it will boot right to the advanced startup options page.
@6:45 I’m at this step. But I can’t install updates because I have no internet connection nor do I have any options in settings, etc to enable a connection. Do I need to install the internet adapters for my motherboard via usb or something???
Great video, some of us will use it as a reference 😊. Also if your bios has a letter after the number, it’s a beater bios so keep checking back until there is one with just numbers.
Thanks! Honestly I've never really looked at the naming scheme for bios versions between companies. Gigabyte often uses a letter after to denote a slightly newer build of a previous bios (typically minor bug fixes) without changing the number. But you can always double check the bios notes on the website page.
I just bought R5 7600X cooled with 135mm be quiet dark rock 4... I took 2x16GB @ 5600Mhz and boy am I happy, currently cpu is paired with RTX 3060 12GB, I am about to wait for a year for 4070ti to drop prices, and then switch to Ada Lovelace. And I will never need another computer again. I am to old for this SH%@!! Nice job Jason, very detailed and meticulous at the same time.
Hi Jason, thanks so much for your how to and picking the right parts videos, just finished my latest gaming rig, have built a few in the past but your videos are so well presented and informative that was by far my easiest build ever. Again thanks.
A big thanks for this. It was really informative. I've been using PC's since Trash 80 days. But over the last 15 years, I have been concentrating on Database (Oracle), so my PC hardware knowledge hasn't kept up. This was just what I needed since I'm putting together my first PC in about 8 years (I used to build all of mine - get just below the max and stay with it). Love the Cat.
So glad to help! I actually started the channel when I took a break from PC building, came back and wished there was a channel to quickly catch me up. Decided I could be that channel! (;
Dude you're seriously awesome, I was having problems with ram overclocking, i could enable the xmp profile i wanted but it didnt actually change when i entered my pc and verified. Turns out all I had to do was disable CSM in my bios and voila, my ram speed finally reflected my xmp profile. 😊❤ You're THE BEST.
I understand most of this. But the windows media install and Bios instal part somewhat confuses me. Since I am doing my research for a decent streaming and gaming PC I have stumbled onto this video. (And have watched a couple before this one) But if you have to buy a key for windows does that come with installation? Or do you HAVE to make the USB for the download? I would like to clarify this so I can add or remove anything from my budget. Since I have made some minor edits to some of the builds to suit the recommendations for a decent streaming and gaming experience.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing if you buy the key?, for the windows program then wouldn't that be the windows program itself?. I'm thinking that maybe you buy the key and then you download this windows program somewhere else?. By using the key because I sure don't want to pay $150 for a windows program!.😮🤷♀️🤬 I just finished burning a ton of money on a build and last thing I want is to spend more money on a program, I already have a windows program on another PC but I don't know how to even bring it over to my new pc. My head is spinning I was born in the beginning of black-and-white TV, no internet no cell phones this is making my head spin time to call the grown kids maybe the grandkids can help me. LOL 😂
helpppp. i cant change the windows 11 power plan. once i hit ok after changing to "high performance" and exit out, coming back in, shows that it went back to "balanced"
New builder here, when you update the bios, make sure you pick the correct revision. If you are not sure what revision you need look at the bottom left of your mother left of the screw. Hope that helps. Thanks for these amazing videos man. You’ve helped me build my first computer and I’m very grateful for your videos!
I am SO happy I found you! Thanks to a video from a TikTok creator who provided a "$800 PC build " video, I was able to get the basics of what I needed to build - and surprise surprise as I went further into my research I realized I didn't want that low of a budget as a first time builder who wants their PC to last a long a$$ time. Your channel helped me make final decisions on major parts of the PC and figure out what's best to be paired with all the parts I'm using. I almost made SEVERAL bad purchases thatd be hard to rectify by return/exchanges when all I want is this process to be as of a breeze as possible for the first time builder in me !! Not only are you informative without making the viewer feel inferior for not knowing things (a handful of people have given me a bad taste in my mouth because I felt that wa) and answer questions past what I thought I needed answered, but your enthusiasm and l personality are infectious in the BEST way! Your videos are always a treat to watch! You and @JayzTwoCents are my top two favorite PC/techie creators on YT 💓💓

Oh and my monitors too 😁
This is giving me flash backs of frustration when I couldn’t get a display in bios. For whatever reason it wouldn’t display on my monitor but I tried my tv and got right in
Thanks for your videos. With your guidance, I was able to put together my second pc build without any issues. Love your work and ill continue to watch your future videos.
Nice guide. I did recently experience an issue with an ASUS motherboard. After updating the BIOS the M.2 was no longer detected. Of course, I shutdown the system and verified it did not somehow "wiggle" loose. After some research, I discovered the BIOS Update had disabled CSM (Compatibility Support Mode). After enabling CSM, the drive was detected again. Thought I would share this just in case anyone else experiences this issue.

@@mehmoh7828just extract the bios into its folder. the bios file does not have to be in the root folder (at least for my asrock it being in a folder was fine). you cant really break anything, worst thing that can happen is that the computer does not find your file.
Your videos are so incredibly concise and comprehensive I don't often leave comments but you have made my first pc build a breeze and minimised the time I had to spend looking stuff up. Thank you bro!
Glad I could help!

This video is gold. Just built my first PC and this is exactly what I needed. Many thanks for the guide!
So glad it was helpful! Congrats on your first build! Show off a build pic if you like on twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason
I researched, built, and tweaked my new PC after watching a lot of your videos. I can't thank you enough for all the info and updated vids. I usually build a new PC every 8 years so I have to do all the research all over again each time. Your vids helped me get my new PC all bought and setup a lot faster than my previous builds. Much love, mate!
Ditto. 8 year cycle here too. This has been the best place to learn all of this again. New PC Built and tweaked in the last 24 hours. The building part took longer than expected but this video has me cruising threw everything else.
Your videos are so detailed. Can't wait to give you the update on my PC on the next BMB. This really helped me with updating the BIOS. You explain things so easily and perfectly. Thank you, Jason.
Thank you Joeker! Looking forward to hearing about your upgrade!
Everything went smoothly. Not a single hiccup during build and post-build is always a relief. Thanks!
Congrats!!
Thanks for all of your hard work and knowledge in bringing us great content!
I appreciate that thank you! Hope you enjoy today's video!
Just completed my 2nd build. This one is AM5. Lots of info well presented , step by step I love it.
That Bit Locker / encryption screen tripped me up. I said N and the system would not boot to windows. lol. 3 hours later after my research I said Y. Like magic , everything is working and all updates are in. Thx for your great tutorials
Oh I love this tutorial. I'm doing most of these things but it's nice to have a complete list with step by step instructions.
So glad its helpful!!
Thanks!
Thank you for supporting the channel!
Great video! Most build videos only scratch the basis of software installations. Your video does it all. Much appreciated!
Just finished building my pc and want to get it game ready so far I’ve watch a few videos on this most said the same basic stuff but you really explained everything to us to show us why we want to do whatever your doing.
As I make thsi comment I am about to plug it in and get to work
Thank you! So glad it was helpful!!
It's ok to have the BIOS and windows on the same drive? Or should they be on separate USB drives?
Yes same drive
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks i appreciate it
Thanks for your help! Im building my first PC for my son's Christmas present and this helped a TON!
Exciting! Best wishes on the build and so glad we could help!
@@PCBuilderChannel damn PC is tough to figure out but it's running great! I'm am Xbox guy and loved how easy I was able to swap things over with no issues. I'll also get to play FF7 Rebirth and some Sony games so I'm excited
Rebar / SAM works for some 5000 series GPUs as well! Works for my Sapphire Pulse 5700xt with a notable increase in performance. Also, undervolting is pretty easy to do for AMD cpus that have PBO2. Set my 5800X3D to a -20 volt curve and it runs about 1% faster, but more importantly 10% cooler. No stability issues so far. Well worth trying out.
Ehat ig my computer sais it ran in to problem
Seriously the best channel for this stuff. Straight to the point, DETAILED but also covers all bases. So many channels skip parts, dont cover all manufacturers or shill for certain products.
Much needed thank you Jason! I'm just about to build another gaming PC for my second kid to play Fortnite with us for our TH-cam channel, and everytime I get to this point I get nervous and pass it off to best buy to finish. This third build I will use this video to finish It myself!
You got this!!
Best wishes on the build (:
Jason showing the rest of the YT tech community how it's done - flawless content as always 👍
For anyone wondering how good the content is: PC builder for 30 years, highly rate this guy's content and specifically this video is exactly what new and unsure folks need.
Seriously underrated PC tech channel right here!
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback it means a lot
I literally just got all my parts this is perfect
Great timing! Check out our How to Build your PC video too if that's helpful
@@PCBuilderChannel already planned ahah i also used one of your builds that uses the intel arc a750 gpu. Love the channel
Thanks!
Thank you so much for supporting the channel! So glad this was helpful!
This dude explains everything so perfectly, with zero bull and time wasting. Straight to point, getting it done. Subbed and always watching. 👀 👀
This is an amazing video, really thorough and easy to understand. Massive thanks for it.
I do have a question related to the NVidia drivers though, is there a meaningful performance difference in gaming/productivity workloads with either one of the driver sets installed?
I wanna use my new pc for both and am unsure whether I should install the "game ready" drivers or the "studio drivers". Knowing if gaming performance suffers a lot with the studio drivers (or vice-versa) would be a great help.
Same question, what option did you go for?
Jason, I just now finished my first ever PC build - Ryzen 7800x3D and 4090 included - and your guides on the order picking process, building setup, and this post build setup were crucial for getting me through everything. Thank you, I couldn't have done it without you, much appreciation for all your hard work!
That's amazing, congratulations on your first build! And what a combo! You're so welcome, thanks so much for tuning in :) Glad that worked out.
Fair play that's a nice approach to setting up a pc for a beginner 😊 I think you explained each topic well and nice to have the varieties covered of different components and manufacturers.
I can add a recommendation to fan control is the software apley called "fancontrol". Justified by being able to do multiple fan curves for individual components. Also the ability to control the fans from the gpu not just the cpu. Also use the hottest component to ramp up the fans ❤
I’m so upset that I didn’t find this channel years ago when I got into PCs. Your videos are just as long/short as all the other big name channels but you somehow manage to cover 10x as much you’re FAR more thorough at explanations, and you dont convolute the information making it much easier to understand the important stuff. Thanks yet again!
Thanks for the awesome feedback! It means a lot
*please don't be an April Fool's joke*

Literally just placed an order for the second-last piece of my build (GPU), just waiting on the 7800X3D release now. This video couldn't be more perfectly timed!
haha no joke I swear! Mr. Bear wouldn't let us (;
And that's exciting!
Holy cow I've had my PC for 3 years and not done anything like this. Wow! I was always scared to mess around with my bios but after you explained it, I had no issues!
First time pc builder here and been a macOS user the last 14 years. THANK YOU for actually showing detailed step by step process. I knew nothing about anything pc related, but after watching this video a couple of times I don’t feel as scared to fk up my soon to be new pc
So glad its helpful! You got this (:
"Stop setting up bad PCs!!" 🔥🔥 This build guide is awesome. It's quick enough that we get all the information in a reasonable time, but thorough enough that we can follow along with confidence. This is the first PC I've build in 13 year and whenever I've have a question Jason would answer it the next sentence. 👍👍
That means a lot!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much Jason for a thorough guide on how to set a PC up! I finished assembling my build on the weekend and followed these instructions immediately after. For a 1st time build it went really smooth following the detailed steps and help links you provided. I am really happy with this new hobby and look forward to seeing your updates in the future over the current market environment for PC builds.
That's fantastic! Congrats on your build and so happy we could help! Show off a build pic on twitter/threads if you like @pcbuilderjason
Just built my first Pc following all your videos on TH-cam. I have been watching them for 6-8 months, and I have learned so much from you. I also got good deals following your advice. Just wanted to come here and say Thank you. 😁
Thank you for letting us know! It really means a lot to me. Congrats on your build! Show off a build pic if you like on twitter / threads @pcbuilderjason
for asrock motherboard fan curve, you can adjust it easily in their A-tuning app
This is a great solid framework. Well done, and thanks! I even picked up a couple things even though I've been building PCs for a long time. Also, bonus points for also being in the black cat club!
Very informative, great personality. From picking the parts, to building and setting up the PC, your videos walked me through it.
I just want to say thank you so much Jason, you are a life saver.
Why thank you so much! Glad you're finding the channel so helpful :) Thanks for tuning in!
Unbelievable value in this video. Great work as always. Much appreciated pal.
I followed this video step by step on everything. This was my first pc build and first time ever doing anything like this before. Everything came up smooth and my pc runs great. Thank you for all your help and the great information in this video.
That's awesome! Congrats on your first build and so glad we could help! Thanks for letting us know it means a lot
Just built my first PC and am wrapping up the bench marking now! This video (and the previous) were super helpful!! Thank you!

Hi Jason, just wanted to let you know i finished my build and it is working flawlessly, i even managed to overclock the RAM, and turn on Resizable BAR
i did pick cheap case fans so it is slightly louder than necessary, but i will replace them soon. Thanks for all the help!
Amazing! Congrats on your build! Show off a build pic if you like on twitter @pcbuilderjason. So glad we could help!
This video has been an absolutely fantastic resource. One note, on my Asus Strix Z690-A Gaming Wifi D4 mobo: after Windows install from USB, I came to a halt because I needed to download and install the LAN/Wi-Fi drivers before I could connect to the internet.
I used the same USB drive and 2nd PC to download and then install on the new machine. After that was back on track updating windows. Hopefully this helps if someone hits the same hiccup.
Great video and amazing resource as always Jason! Just wrapping up my first build ever!!
Thank you and thanks for sharing!
I've seen a lot of video's like this and most are decent but have unneeded bloat of some kind or have no order or structure for a sequence of events that someone that has zero experience needs. Its fine to say "do this this this and this" but still confusing and can intimidate you more when you don't have a clue. This video has pretty much no bloat and it gives you a sequence and an order that makes sense and confidence that you set your rig up right. Great job!
Much appreciated, thanks for the feedback! Glad you found this one so clear and helpful.
@PCBuilderChannel Just finished my first build. Literally last night and it works! Your parts list for a $1700 mid range and this video. Only difficulty was windows 11 said my new computer with a Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070ti didn't meet minimum system specs and wouldn't install!? So I wasted money on a win11 pro key. So made a new win10 usb and its up and running. Though for some reason my Gigabyte motherboad is stopping at boot and I have to press N before windows loads up. No idea how to fix that. Thanks for what you do! Between the parts and the software recomendations and how to's I would have never even attempted it.
SO good! Thanks for this video. I haven't built a system in maybe 15 years and so much has changed.
Happy to help! I actually started the channel when I came back to PC Building after a break and wishes there was a channel to catch me up
the tip with ramping up the CPU cooler first was a really good one! for some reason i had all my fans (cpu + case fans) all on the same curve, i changed it now and put the CPU one to ramp up a lot sooner, has helped with temps and noise levels a lot!
Glad we were able to help! Thank you for watching!
I must have watched this over 20x's. I wish i Could like this video 2x that (40 likes)!!! Just soooooo good. Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching (:
Would not have been able to do my first build without you! Thanks!
Love to hear it, so glad we could help. And congrats on your first build!
Excellent video Jason, lots of useful information to set up after installing the hardware. Greetings from Bogota.
Hola from the states! Glad you found the video so useful!
Thanks! This was the best source, out of the many i tried, that walked through the after build/post procedures.
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! That's great to hear
Brilliant video, definitely saving this one for future reference.
Thank you so much! This one was a beast to make (;
@@PCBuilderChannel Oh I can tell. Tracking down manufacturer-specific terminology and instructions is very laborious.
Came and watched your video just to go through your link. You’ve been a godsend helping build a pc and bought from the link as a thank you.
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support!! So glad that we could help you out. If you build it, it will run!
Just finished my first ever PC build, and after following all your videos, it's running butter smooth appreciate you Jason
This is amazing, congratulations on your first build! Way to go. So glad to help.
Dude, I have no clue why is this video have a little of likes. As a system administrator I can proove that your advices is 100% accurate and easy to understand for avarage user.
This is exactly what I was waiting and hoping for! Thank you.
So glad it was helpful! This one took longer than expected (so much b roll to capture) but we're thrilled to have it out
I was so skeptical of this because of the date it was posted on, but this is amazing. Will definitely refer to this the next time I upgrade my system. Trying to remember every step is hard. Thank you thank you.
I know! We debated if we should post it on April 1st but didn't want to miss our constant Saturday upload schedule lol.
So glad its helpful!
Just used your code for windows 10 on the pc my son and I built him after watching your video atpeast a dozen times. Thanks for info. Was a great experience with him.
How awesome to share that with your son!! Congrats on the build! Glad I could help!
Just finished the video and wow! You packed a LOT into this one. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
great job man with your videos i bought the best parts and build my 1st PC in my life :3 keep on doing what you doing your videos gives alooot of knowledge i didn`t know anything about pc parts and with you i learn alot : )
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! Really appreciate it!
thank you so much for all the help in pricing out, building and setting up a great computer. I watched your videos for the last 6 months and from the day i pulled the trigger on purchases it only took me about 2 weeks to have a fully built computer with very high resolution and frame rate.
Awesome! So glad we could help and thanks for letting us know. It means a lot
Omg. I did it. I have a working gaming PC. Mostly thanks to these guide videos. Thank you so much
We love it!! Congrats on your build! So happy that we could help :)
Thanks for all the very helpful videos!!!! I was able to purchase, put together and optimize a great gaming rig with your help and now all that’s left it to wait for my games to download and install 😁
Amazing! Congrats on your new rig and so glad we could help!
YOU ARE A GOD! Thanks to your amazing Tutorial i was able to fully set up my new pc that thanks to your tutorial and other youtubers i was able to build it myself!
So happy that we could help you! Congratulations on your build! If you build it, it will run :))
Jason you can mark off another one, I completed my first build with your help. I brought my windows key through your link too. I followed everything you said and only issue I had was the first boot up, MSI board needed bios update, I was confused at first but you mentioned this may happen. Thank you Jason your information was very helpful and I'm extremely happy 😁
Love to hear this, congratulations on your first build!! If you build it, it will run :) Hope you feel proud. Thanks so much for tuning in!
This has been one of the most helpful pages for me on my journey to build a Gaming PC. Thank you for all your work.
You're so welcome, glad you found this one so helpful! Thanks for watching :D
One shortcut to the advanced startup options page is clicking restart from the start/windows power option while holding the shift key and it will boot right to the advanced startup options page.
@6:45 I’m at this step. But I can’t install updates because I have no internet connection nor do I have any options in settings, etc to enable a connection. Do I need to install the internet adapters for my motherboard via usb or something???
I'm having the same problem! Did you solve it?
The app literally called "Fan Control" is super good. Absolute insane amount of customizability, and still a clean UI.
Great video, some of us will use it as a reference 😊. Also if your bios has a letter after the number, it’s a beater bios so keep checking back until there is one with just numbers.
Thanks! Honestly I've never really looked at the naming scheme for bios versions between companies. Gigabyte often uses a letter after to denote a slightly newer build of a previous bios (typically minor bug fixes) without changing the number. But you can always double check the bios notes on the website page.
I just bought R5 7600X cooled with 135mm be quiet dark rock 4... I took 2x16GB @ 5600Mhz and boy am I happy, currently cpu is paired with RTX 3060 12GB, I am about to wait for a year for 4070ti to drop prices, and then switch to Ada Lovelace. And I will never need another computer again. I am to old for this SH%@!! Nice job Jason, very detailed and meticulous at the same time.
Thank you! And thanks for sharing
Just built my first rig and this was amazing content!
Hi Jason, thanks so much for your how to and picking the right parts videos, just finished my latest gaming rig, have built a few in the past but your videos are so well presented and informative that was by far my easiest build ever. Again thanks.
So glad we could help and congrats on your build!! Show off a build pic if you like on twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason
Nice video, learned alot especially during the driver installation part. Great work!
Glad it helped!
3:00 I have an MSI z790 motherboard with a 12400F and did not get asked this, is this normal?
Omg thank you thank you thank you!!! I really appreciate you making this video. It was exactly what I was searching for after doing my first build.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching
A big thanks for this. It was really informative. I've been using PC's since Trash 80 days. But over the last 15 years, I have been concentrating on Database (Oracle), so my PC hardware knowledge hasn't kept up. This was just what I needed since I'm putting together my first PC in about 8 years (I used to build all of mine - get just below the max and stay with it). Love the Cat.
So glad to help! I actually started the channel when I took a break from PC building, came back and wished there was a channel to quickly catch me up. Decided I could be that channel! (;
Dude you're seriously awesome, I was having problems with ram overclocking, i could enable the xmp profile i wanted but it didnt actually change when i entered my pc and verified. Turns out all I had to do was disable CSM in my bios and voila, my ram speed finally reflected my xmp profile. 😊❤ You're THE BEST.
Yay, glad it all worked out!! Happy to help! Thanks so much for watching :)
I understand most of this.
But the windows media install and Bios instal part somewhat confuses me. Since I am doing my research for a decent streaming and gaming PC I have stumbled onto this video. (And have watched a couple before this one)
But if you have to buy a key for windows does that come with installation? Or do you HAVE to make the USB for the download?
I would like to clarify this so I can add or remove anything from my budget. Since I have made some minor edits to some of the builds to suit the recommendations for a decent streaming and gaming experience.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing if you buy the key?, for the windows program then wouldn't that be the windows program itself?. I'm thinking that maybe you buy the key and then you download this windows program somewhere else?. By using the key because I sure don't want to pay $150 for a windows program!.😮🤷♀️🤬
I just finished burning a ton of money on a build and last thing I want is to spend more money on a program, I already have a windows program on another PC but I don't know how to even bring it over to my new pc. My head is spinning I was born in the beginning of black-and-white TV, no internet no cell phones this is making my head spin time to call the grown kids maybe the grandkids can help me. LOL 😂
helpppp. i cant change the windows 11 power plan. once i hit ok after changing to "high performance" and exit out, coming back in, shows that it went back to "balanced"
New builder here, when you update the bios, make sure you pick the correct revision. If you are not sure what revision you need look at the bottom left of your mother left of the screw. Hope that helps. Thanks for these amazing videos man. You’ve helped me build my first computer and I’m very grateful for your videos!
Love to hear that, so happy we could help! Congrats on the build. :)
I am SO happy I found you! Thanks to a video from a TikTok creator who provided a "$800 PC build " video, I was able to get the basics of what I needed to build - and surprise surprise as I went further into my research I realized I didn't want that low of a budget as a first time builder who wants their PC to last a long a$$ time. Your channel helped me make final decisions on major parts of the PC and figure out what's best to be paired with all the parts I'm using. I almost made SEVERAL bad purchases thatd be hard to rectify by return/exchanges when all I want is this process to be as of a breeze as possible for the first time builder in me !! Not only are you informative without making the viewer feel inferior for not knowing things (a handful of people have given me a bad taste in my mouth because I felt that wa) and answer questions past what I thought I needed answered, but your enthusiasm and l personality are infectious in the BEST way! Your videos are always a treat to watch!
You and @JayzTwoCents are my top two favorite PC/techie creators on YT 💓💓
Thanks so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot. Glad we could help and best wishes on your build!
@@PCBuilderChannel You are more than welcome! Thank YOU for being here for all of us!! 🥹💓
And thank you thank you ! I'm so eager to get building, I have a few things to get still the big boi pieces- MSI MAG B660 Tomahawk Wifi D4 mobo (absolutely worth waiting a week or two extra and spending a few more dollars) XFX MERC13 6800XT and i5-12400F! Oh and my monitors too 😁
This is giving me flash backs of frustration when I couldn’t get a display in bios. For whatever reason it wouldn’t display on my monitor but I tried my tv and got right in
That's the worst!
Wow, thank you so much, I haven’t build a pc in like 5 years and the DDR5 not being enabled bugged me out a lot. Thank you Sir. :D
Glad I could help! Congrats on your build!
Thanks for your videos. With your guidance, I was able to put together my second pc build without any issues.
Love your work and ill continue to watch your future videos.

Amazing!! So glad that we could help you on your PC-Building journey :)
Nice guide.
I did recently experience an issue with an ASUS motherboard. After updating the BIOS the M.2 was no longer detected. Of course, I shutdown the system and verified it did not somehow "wiggle" loose. After some research, I discovered the BIOS Update had disabled CSM (Compatibility Support Mode). After enabling CSM, the drive was detected again.
Thought I would share this just in case anyone else experiences this issue.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing
