- Had a heart attack during the test run, but it was all good. Nothing broke nor exploded so I consider that mission accomplished! As a first time builder with no previous experience, I wanted to highlight the difficulties I came across that no one tells you about. I hope you find my struggles entertaining.
My pre-built PC was wearing down and I was planning to get a new one when I came across the idea of building a PC. I spent the money I would've used on a pre-built to create a better custom build :)
Apologies for audio quality. Don't have a suitable mic.

Update: I didn't know that higher end graphics cards should be plugged in with multiple PCI-e cables instead of one (They don't seem to mention this in tutorials for beginners😭). Luckily, my PSU came with an additional PCI-e cable so I swapped out the pigtail for the second cable to the GPU. Thank you to the commenters below for this advice! I would've never known if it wasn't for you guys. ❤❤❤
Ummm it’s pretty self explanatory when you look at the gpu and it has more that one spot to plug something in but anyways nice build and it’s awesome to see women building pc’s to
@@Joshua-1986 Oh chill, plenty of people make the mistake xD. If you see a cable and it happens to have daisy-chain your brain as a beginner would probably say it's completely fine.
@@Joshua-1986 it's not really self explanatory for those who have never built a pc or don't have experience. it's fine to make mistakes, at least she figured it out...
It gonna blow up if u don’t
@@Joshua-1986 not really that self explanatory, if anything, I would actually blame the manufactures for creating pigtails in the first place. Instead of actually giving us the proper cable for a proper spec, manufactures decided to cut cost and throw in the pigtails instead. Beginners would not the pcie slot only delivers up to 75w and an 8-pin cable only delivers up to 150w. Beginners also would not know graphics cards do not just simply take whatever wattage delivered, but rather drawing power from the psu, which resulting in the 8-pin cable working over-spec and an explosion in the worst case. Pigtails are such useless tools that were not even supposed to exist in the first place.
It feels liberating moving from a crappy HP/Dell Desktop to something powerful you assembled yourself doesn't it? I've had my custom built PC for just over 2 years after having a similar HP pavilion for 6 years and it still gives me that feeling of liberation.
i still have the same crappy shit

Actually the CPU was still decent in the HP, $500-600 worth of upgrades, RTX 3060, another 8GB ram, and a 3.5 SSD and new PSU and you could do all your gaming/content creation with with ease and would be a beast sleeper.
I’m currently budgeting to start buying everything I want for my pc and I’m looking for to not playing on my laptop anymore. 😂
I actually enjoyed this video because seeing you be so gentle and cautious is pretty relaxing.
Dude… you did amazing!!!! Really enjoyed watching and such a cool build! Subscribed!
Well done, that’s fantastic for your first build 😃 and the specs are hot 🔥 😍
Built like a pro. Congrats and enjoy your new PC 🙂
I am in the process of getting the components for my very first build as well! I am using a lot of lian li and will be doing an all white aesthetic. I am so pumped. You did a beautiful job! I got so excited for you when it turned on.
Me too! I just ordered the Lian li strimers plus v2 today actually, hope yours goes/went well!!
Great job! I called the error as not hitting the power button haha. I have pretty much the same build in the o11 Evo and am amazed with how fast my work tabs load(multiple tabs running car auctions). Gaming and streaming is also a nice aside, insta buffering 2-4k , with no lag. Couldn’t agree more with the looks and quality and affordability with this level of setup!
Great job! Best of luck and success at UT.
Well done on your new build, it looks really cool and great job putting it together! I have a similar build using a mix of the same Lian Li fans both 120s and 140s. As you mentioned they sound loud, probably because of the automatic fan curves. I have a 5900x and that cpu can spike up to 70c as it is trying to keep the turbo boost going.
You will need to create custom fan curves, 800rpm for the 120s would be silent, 1200rpm for more intensive tasks should be fine for your build. Anything more than 1200rpm would be loud. Keeping 800rpm up to 70c and up to 1200rpm for higher temps would be fine.
If you are gaming all fans at 1200rpm should create enough airflow to dissipate heat while keeping a low noise system. (Also if the aio pump is silent i would just set that at 2500rpm, if it is loud i would set a silent profile at 1700rpm and 2500rpm at all other times like gaming/editing etc.)
Still waiting for one more part before I can finish my PC build. I had the same issue with ram, I didn't want to push too hard but thats what you have to do ig. Love the build.
I know how it feels to get wrapped up in the build, then end up not eating/drinking water correctly, then the anxiety of doing everything correctly so you forget about something simple, my first build went kinda like this haha.
Very inspiring! I'm getting my parts soon as well! Congrats on the pc!!
I just got my parts I’m waiting on my cpu, gpu, and fans
Hey, how proud of yourself must you be?! Your new rig looks great 👍 I’m about 1-2 weeks away from starting my own high end build.. And I’m just as nervous/excited as you were in your video. I’m confident with build, it’s just the installing Win11 and bios tweaks that have me scratching my head. Anyway, job well done! I may be in touch to get some pointers! 😉
Excellent Build and choice of parts. I loved seeing a young lady do her research and build on her own. I have 4 daughters and I see in them the same type of faith in themselves to at least try things on there own. It builds courage to tackle what others may say is not the norm.
Great job, I'll be building my first PC as well in a O11 Dynamic Evo soon and am inspired from watching your video.🤙
LMFAOOO That pc not turning on was so relatable, Just spent the whole afternoon yesterday building my first computer on lian li mini and everything turned on like the lights for fans motherboard gpu etc except monitor couldnt find a signal. I thought i screwed up something and it turned out it was just a simple mistake on my part not plugging in the pcie riser cable for gpu all the way through.
Damn, not bad for ur first PC build. and yes, the power button, I even knew it was the power button right away. It happens all the time to every PC builder. Good job tho, good choice on components as well.
Congratulations, it's beautiful.👏👏👏😃❤
Keep up the grind!
For a first time builder you did a very good Job. Also if you every build another one you will never get ride of that feeling of that your going to brake some thing when your building a PC and I can say that because I have been in the biz for over 25 years. Let say it again very good job on your first time build your rig looks sweet
proud of you, great job
Once the parts all come in, I'll be taking this same journey, thank you for posting this. It's great to hear some details that others overlook.
Nice build - nice looking PC. First time can be very intimidating. You did very well. Sidenote - don't see too many people still wearing a non-smart watch. Yours looked nice.
Coolest first build I’ve ever seen 🔥🔥
Congratulations! =)
Great job, props for having the bravery to do it yourself. Turned out great, building my 2nd pc in a lian lian li 011d xl with sl 120 fans and a 12900k and 3080ti ftw3 also using a 360 z73 aio. Thanks for sharing!
wait for 4000 series will e coming around 4-5 months
@@gobin3777 Yep, i may sell my 3080ti later and buy a 4090 when they come out!! Ended up using an msi meg s360 aio in place of the Z73. It's coming together, just about done with it.
Well done, very nice build 🙂
About PSU cables a good advice is plugging them on motherboard before placing it into a case.
U should use two separate cable 8pins for the video card as they need more power. I suggest get another cable mod package and make sure they are power cable not extension. They must be type 4 cable with the correct pins these are not extension. Last thing make sure u tight that video card well they are proon to sagging. U could use a anti saggin or I just put extra fan under it for support. My pc is a Lian Li Mesh 2, I like the 011 but it might give me problem as I was doing a case swap so I need a case that fit exactly my pc but with more room. I just paint my white save the trouble of having to buy everything white lol.
I just wanna say I absolutely love this pc build, its beautiful and has a nice aesthetic. It has the capability to remain a top pc for 10 years. My only note is your Power Supply is really small for a PC of this caliber. It will run it but I highly highly recommend upgrading to a 1000W PSU or even a 1200W PSU. This will allow for upgradability and further future proof your build. Good work though!
excellent build great video. u should be very happy well done
dont worry we all make mistakes , i have been in to computers for 20 years now , even people like me make mistakes , its natural to make a few mistakes here and there but you will learn as you go along . im sure you will learn fast , youll be cool youll be up and building your next computer in no time , its so satisfying to build your first computer , after that you want to build more . good luck and take care
thank you for the heart
thank you for the heart .
that is a gorgious computer you have there now , i see your on windows 11 if you need any help please contact me , thanks from drew
1:54 this is so me 😭, I would be making a ton of content if it wasn't for my old pc. Can't handle video editing I throw at it, building a similar one to yours (but cheaper shh)
When you went to test the pc, I was like _girl there is a power button! click it omg_ (also you can look into getting lian li strimer cables, they make your pc look dope)
forgot power button,
turns it on,
THIS POWER......... ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the pc!!!
YOU TOOK THE RED PILL! GOOOOD. NOW YOU HAVE THE POWER! I BUILD PRO AND YOU DID GREAT
Great build!
One suggestion, make your top fans exhaust (as hot air rises) and make the bottom fans and side fans intake.
Your current fan configuration has it pulling in cold air from above where the hot air is sitting and is blowing out cold air at the bottom where the cold air is sitting.
So change your bottom and side fans to intake because it pulls cold air in and make your top fans exhaust as it pushes all the hot air at the top of the case out.
Will have better air flow.
Yup! It's actually configured exactly as you suggested. I just followed the rule of "faces suck" so the bottom and side fans are facing out of the case. The fan box came with with lian li logo stickers so that I can cover the ugly fine print on the back side of the fans. So far, I've noticed my CPU and GPU stay roughly 45C to 57C so ventilation has been great.
@@yujecreates ahhh awesome, didn't know they came with stickers so it looked like to me they were inverted lol, but great!
exactly!
Great job!
Beautiful PC, plus you did a good job, your struggles were minimal compared to mine. LOL Congrats.
Beautiful build. Congratulations and well done! One suggestion. Use two separate eight pin power cables for the GPU rather than one and the pigtail. Probably fine, but that is what I've done.
yes seeing as another comment also mentioned it, I will definitely look into it. Thank you for the advice!
it's funny watching new builders and how delicate they are when inserting and handling pc components.
wonderful job!
You just gained a sub great video!
Congrats! Looks great. I can totally relate to the sweating comment. I am a PC enthusiast but I do no take an ounce of pleasure building a PC. I merely do it out of necessity, not hobby. It doesn't stress me out as much as it used to, I just don't enjoy the process, sadly. :(
Wow so professional~~ so COOL we love her 😍😍
You're famous Jen 🥰🥰 Not me just going through every video on your channel or anything, don't mind me 🫶🏻👀
Things i like to watch which i can never afford.
Nice video.👍
Have fun with it
Great video 📹 👍🏻
I just dropped 3k on a build specifically for music production and I can say without a doubt that I'd have not even considered building it myself lol
I'll support you =)
awesome job girl!! im feeling your anxiety, im buying parts to do my own first build and panicking big time! lol you did great, it looks awesome. just wondering, when starting it up, how did you find selecting the right memory drive to save windows too? great video, thanks! :-)
When I started it up, all the drives I installed were displayed and it just asked me to select one to put the operating system on. I chose to put it on my 500GB M.2 SSD so that it operates fast (compared to hard drive) and so that I can use the bigger storage for my files.
Great video, you gave me a great idea for my next build. Let's get Lian Li fans, the cable management is probably amazing
Well done, I just started building my first.
You don't need fan gaskets. Just need to tune your fans. Find the fastest fan speed that is still pretty quiet. I usually have my fans all at 45% until the cpu and gpu get to 70C (which rarely happens) and then they ramp up to 70%
You should locate the fast boot option in bios it will allow your computer to boot in less than 5 seconds with those parts.
Also you could tighten up that cable management. Your cpu power cables (the Top ones) could be pulled together and lined up. Use zipties on the back side to do that. You don't need that much cabel coming out of the back. Get them lined up and pulled into the back of the case more. Same with the big 24 pin one. Also that small black cable coming from the aio cooler could be routed more astetically and hidden. This is all just for looks of course. Same with the gpu power you can have it come from the bottom holes instead of side ones minimizing visible cabling.
Also make sure your monitor is set to 144hz if you have a high refresh rate display!
You'll get it all figured out. Welcome to the world of custom pcs! The first ones the hardest
The mic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Gotta say, it was kinda refreshing to see someone forget about the power button on the front IO...usually people (myself included) try to push that button, and forget to make sure the PSU is switched on first. LOL
I like the build☺️
This is an amazing build! I do have to mention that a 750 Watt power supply may not be enough for a power hungry card like the 3080. Some PCs have stopped working after using an 850 watt with that. I recommend switching the 750 watt for a quality 850 watt like corsair's, or a 1000w. This build was incredible tho!
750watts is enough for a 3080 when you get to a 3090 is when you should get an 850watt power supply. Sure 850 is nice and it's a safe bet you won't ever have any issues but what she needed she did in fact get which is 750watts. If she can afford to get another one sure but if she's fine which I'm sure she is once she hooked up the gpu correctly which she didn't have in this video well she is good to go now! People have gotten away with 650watt psu for 3080s in many many stress tests. But 750 is fully safe 850 is extra which is good yes and 1000watt is absolutely overkill that's what I use with my 3090ti lol. Which is 480watts on its own ans can get up to 520watts and has much larger spikes in watts.
I think it's a smart move going for products from the same manufacturer ie case and aio cooler etc. Went for a lot of Nzxt items in mine and think it made the build easier, although the 4090 nearly didn't fit it the case 😝
good build. building my new pc soon also! going from a gt 730 to a rtx 3070 ti. cant wait !
that sounds amazing! It was definitely so rewarding. I hope it goes well!
Might aswell get a 3080ti?
@@scumbagflores give me 1000 more dollars
4:37 about the Lianli case after you remove the glass top, side panel, you should remove the front panel aswell cause it really easy to slide out. Good thing that nothing happened
Nice. I never built a PC. Never had enough funds for a personal PC of my dream. My office PC is a workstation which allows me to do literally anything.
Pc just looks so good
One thing I would've have done is get an 850 PSU just to future proof more; I know this build is around 600 W so 750 W is 100% enough for now, but with the upcoming new CPUs and GPUs (rumors) and considering how power-hungry they are I would just spend some extra cash to get some stuff that I won't have to get in the future.
I fully agree with you here, OP. If I had the RTX 3080 I personally would have gone with a 1000W PSU (fully modular), especially when it's being paired up with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU (I have the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU paired up with a RTX 3070TI)
@@LadyWolvie82 That's fair.
In the Asus Bios, you can run qFan Control by pressing F6 and let the bios calibrate the fans. This would help with fan curve tuning if you're new to PC building. Make sure you also enable DOCP (Memory overclocking profile) to ensure your ram is running at advertised clock speeds.
OMG GONNA FOLLOW YOU
Great video. Can you tell us how you connected all the fans. I want to do the exact same but I’m scared of all the fans haha
amazing😍🤩🤩
Just finished my PC build this past week. My first boot was similar. Turned on the PSU, panicked, and remembered there was a power button. LOL. 😂
Gorgeous
Nice build gurl
Good job dear, love from Bangladesh
Nice build what website do you use to edit your videos im trying to learn lol
This is so dope! I bought a gaming laptop MSI GF66 Intel i7 11th Gen 3060 graphics card 16 GB and 1tb of storage. Because I'm scared to build my own PC lol I am going to get a desktop next year maybe a pre built. I know I don't know what I'm doing
You did great ❤️ better than Verge ☺️
All perfectly managed with tweezers! 🤣🤣🤣
Almost identical build to mine. My biggest issue so far is that AIO block fitting to the MB. Very dodge feeling installing it. Hope it all Still works.
While a RM750x PSU probably is fine, you will run that at almost 100% power when doing stressful things like rendering etc so I would recommend going at least with a 850W Platinum (a A/B rated Gold is fine as well) but preferably +1000W just to make sure you have head room and don't drive the PSU at max all the time. Just a minor recommendation for the future, otherwise a great build!.
Don't be a person who spend $2000 on CPU/GPU/Motherboard and a fancy case with RGB fans and then $60 on a cheap bronze/gold PSU.. that will just result in issues.
Wondering if it's just Asus Motherboards with the Ram. I had similar issues when I was just adding an additional 32g of it to it. Nice build by the way. 😊
niceeee
awsome.........nice pc
Great build, I love the white color scheme. I do recommend moving the AIO radiator to the back of the case. Your thermal temps will thank you for it. It requires a lot of air to force heat from the GPU/ inside the case through the top radiator and will ultimately clog the radiator fins with dust. Your case will be able to push air easier and won't clog with dust if radiator is on the front or back of the case. Your first build was 10x better than my first build!
oh thank you for that advice! will definitely explore that, especially when I upgrade.
thats so nice its really nerve racking to build your own pc i cant wait for mine aswell pc gods pls bless🥰🥰💜💜💜💜
best of luck to you!
I'm also going to be building my first PC (hopefully soon) I have all the parts, I just need a case and monitor.
Nice pc. 1 BIG thing though. Turn on XMP profiles in your bios. Shutdown pc abd then turn on your pc. Spam f2 until bios comes up and you should see XMP. Enable it. You will get the ram speed you paid for.
I’m hoping you upgraded your GPU to atleast a 850W PSU Because 750W is just enough but it’s better to always have a little extra head room. Overall Beautiful Build 👍🏽🔥💯
nice❤❤❤
Sana all
Turuan mo ako maddy sara all
Btw for anyone not wanting to make a pc and wanting to buy one nzxt has some amazing pcs for some very reasonable prices I definitely recommend from them
I am confused on which fan should I choose for cabinet which is Lian li o11 dynami white 🤔
nice
thats a lot of fans, but looks really clean
Omg.. you got even a great fan set.. jezzz girl... you just went all out.. like.. who needs money anyway.. lol
Thats one pretty system.
did you need a fan controller for the fans? is it even necessary? 😅
Where did u get ur Windows 11 from for your new pc? :)
great build with powerful gpu but(You can ignore this comment if you want.) i think you might have overspent a little on motherboard and maybe even on cpu cooler. Also m.2 nvme gen 4 ssd's are indeed fast but just in terms of the benchmark scores. The real world speed difference between gen 3, gen4 or even sata ssd wouldn't matter to you much(unless you care about a few seconds).
While this doesn't mean there is anything bad in the build but there is definitely a little bit of overspending.
And here i thought about doing a custom water cooling loop. NOPE! Too complicated! I want the rtx 3090 but i don't know if aio is enough.
Hey where did you plug ur aio pump head into
You shouldn’t put spacers between the radiator and the fan but it’s your stuff so do what you want
Every time I build a PC I feel like I did as a little kid at Christmas time.
Did you enable xmp profile in your bios?
