this video changed my life - building my own computer turned me from a kid interested in tech into a full-on nerd/tinkerer. without this video I would probably be a completely different person. it sounds extreme, but literally 99% of my dreams and aspirations stem from me just spending such an absurd amount of time tinkering with computers/code. thank you, Austin Evans.
same here. this was the video that got me into computers nearly six years ago as a hobby, and now I'm planning on going to college for computer engineering
8 years ago, I watched this video to build my first computer; since then I've built a total of 13 PC"s!! 3 for myself and 10 for some friends. Without this video, I would have been lost. Thank you Austin, for the years of great content, and bringing the nerd out in me!
I can't help but laugh at people in the comments saying, "I want to play Minecraft, LoL, etc." and then they have a damn i7, GTX 970, 16 GB RAM, etc. XD
+AlphaLineGaming Can you run you dgpu on first install, as in build it and then connect you cables to your gpu instead of your mobo on first time system use?
+AlphaLineGaming I just want to emulate retro games will a FX 8300, GTX Titan X, and 32 GB of ram be enough I'm not sure. I think I might need two titans, Super Mario World is pretty demanding.
I built my PC on the 23rd of December and I just wanted to say thanks as you're one of a few people that has inspired me to build a PC, it was a great experience + I saved a lot of money. Thanks! :D
Nice, I was thinking of getting a very similar one :D Same processor, motherboard but for graphics card probaly R9 270X.(I can get BF4 for free with this card)
xazzerr Woah, that will be awesome! I really want to get BF4 but I can't buy it ATM, need a few more dollars. Do you know where I can get it for cheap w/ Multiplayer? :P
I already knew how to build a PC but, This is one of the best "how to's" I've never seen. Good work, Austen! This will surely make it easier for the noobs. :-)
3 IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WERE NOT MENTIONED IN VIDEO: 1) Ensure that the power supply you're installing has enough power for the other components you're installing, namely the graphics card. Also consider whether or not you will want to overclock your CPU. If you power supply cannot deliver the power necessary, you may experience frequent crashes and poor performance. I would recommend a 600 watt power supply for most gaming PC's, unless you want less performance but better energy conservation. 2) Most high profile graphics cards (like the one he used) will generate a lot of heat and can fry your motherboard if you're not careful. You may need to install an additional fan on the top of your desktop for increased air circulation and heat transfer. Sadly, I've learned this from experience. 3) The hard drive is very sensitive to physical shock (e.g. dropping it, shaking it, etc.) You should treat this component as if it was a newborn baby. Also, I would recommend installing a 2nd hard drive for backup (a RAID enclosure is good for this.) Or if you have an online file backup system, that would also suffice. Additional though, you can combine multiple hard disks to boost data transfer speed. I would also highly recommend installing a program to monitor various aspects of your PC while it's running, such as CPU core temperatures, CPU usage, fan speeds, etc. Also, these 2 things were mentioned in the video, however I feel like they require greater emphasis: ALWAYS ensure that there is a layer of thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink. His came pre-applied, but you may have to buy thermal paste separately and apply it yourself if it did not come pre-applied. ALWAYS take precautions to discharge any static electricity from your body, computer, work space, tools, etc. before handling the motherboard, as it is very sensitive to electrical shock. A good way to double-check and ensure you are static free is to touch the computers power supply first (assuming it's already been installed.) This will act as a chassis ground and safely discharge any static electricity from your body.
Everybody new to building computers, LISTEN TO THIS GUY. If you accidentally rub your socks on carpet and you touch your graphics card or anything else you could destroy everything, Buy an Anti-Static wrist band for like £2 and don't risk anything.
TheMetalGearSolid3 I had on socks on carpet, and was fine. You just plug in the psu, switch it off, and mount it in the case. That gives a solid electrical ground.
He is hardcore cheating out I would recommend a 1tb western digital black, or if u have extra money get the 1tb wd caviar black and a samsung 128 ssd for faster startup of games and faster pc bootup
Thanks Austin... You are just awesome =] You got me really into PC's and building! I built my own PC over this winter break :) Thank you for the awesome videos!
Thanks man! I'm 14 and I've just built my own computer and its fully working! I got the same power supply, A GTX 540 graphics card, A H81M-E33 MSI Motherboard, 8GB ram and I can't remember the processor. This was my first time. Thanks a lot, P.S I saved up and got good grades I aint spoilt :)

I found Austin's channel because I heard his house burned down. Then I saw this video, built a computer a month later, and have been an enthusiast ever since. Thanks for introducing me to my favorite hobby Austin!
Definately, A pc to run those games at higher standards than the ps4 or xbox one should only cost about $400 or $300 at least. The prices i mentioned above and the quality settings can give you above 100 fps on all, but on high settings, a $400 pc can deliver excellent performance.
This I way I play on console, just plug in and play! lol Anyway I guess this video was helpful if I decide to do the switch. The video was nice and short compared to those 1 hour+ videos.

***** Thanks for the recommendation, but I definitely can't afford that xD This is my first PC build so I want to start simple (at about $400 Also since it's my first build I have to get a monitor and a keyboard which bumps it over $500 D: Thanks again though!
Ardency OK this one is alot cheaper (parts from newegg) Case: DIYPC Dual fans case $24.99 Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 - $44.99 Video card : His icooler 1gb gddr5 $68.99 cpu: intel pentium g3258 - $69.99 psu: evga 430w - $34.99 Ram: Crucial 4GB 1600mhz - $29.99 HDD: 320gb Seagate 7200rpm - $29.99 total: $300 ( i dont think you can get much cheaper then this)
Please do The Positron build video im gonna buy the parts but im nervous if i mess up if you can make a video on how to build it i would appreciate it =D
This was made a year ago chances are.of reading this is not goibg to happen...but just keep learning techniques other people building different pc's or try finding a picture or video of someone build with the same case but different parts
Thanks a lot on the video, I recently got into Pc gaming and I was building my own. Did not know where to start but thanks to you I have my very own built Pc. They way you walked through it and they camera was showing everything. I appreciate it!
Im looking into building a pc and I was just wondering if you need to buy a wireless adapter to connect to the interent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
+Josh Campbell No you dont need it, if you have an ethernet cable you can just plug that in but if you want to use wifi (Not recommended) you do need a wifi card.
Um are my pc specs good I am a NOOB at Computers CPU nvidia Geforce gtx 111 GPU Intel celeron 1.1GHZ Motherboard: The thing from bet buy i got HDD: 12GB 1111RPM Ram 2GB 1100Mhz Case: brief cafe From walmart PSU: 100watt And this All costed 19289038349489743897598$ was it worth it???
Would love to be a PC gamer but i just dont really understand all the concepts & what to buy because i just dont want to waste alot of money on a PC that i dont really know how to use.
Funny thing is, when I built my first PC, I watched this video to learn how, I almost fucked up by buying another motherboard. If it wasnt for Austin, I would know nothing about computer, I Owe Austin a lot.
Chance Collins The front panel connectors? Yes, I did eventually read the manual but they were so small, confusing, and hard to keep packed in a single block. I had to lay down in order to reach below to push them in
How is this computer for my first build? Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Motherboard ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Memory G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card $199.99 Buy Case Corsair SPEC-02 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $73.99 Buy Optical Drive Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer Any Upgrades or advice are welcome!
Kobi Bellos Looks great but you really dont need the 212 evo as you cant overclock with that chip, the stock cooler will do just fine. Also if you can strech your budget a little further, you should get a R9 380 instead for the GPU and a cheap 120gb SSD will also help you out alot in loading programs and starting windows.
For 14 more bucks get the better 4gb sapphire r9 380, the 4460 won't overclock so need for the hyper 212 right now, and the 212 doesn't fit in a spec 02 anyway. Done.
Hey guys I'm actually planning on joining this master race,and I'm actually gonna build my own PC,and I wanted to see if these parts seem any good... CPU-intel core i7-4790k (8 mb cache,up to 4.40 GHz) Motherboard-MSI ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150 B85-G41 PC MATE RAM-Corsair Vengeance blue 8GB Graphicscard-EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC support 2GB GDDR5 128bit Dual-Link DVI-I,Hdmi,DP 1.2 Power supply-Corsair CX series 750 Watt HDD-WD blue 1 TB,3.5 inch,7200 RPM,SATA 6GB/s,64 mb cache Case-NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX mid tower.
If anything it's a bit of overkill. At the moment, games don't really utilise the hyperthreading that the i7 boasts, but that may change in the future - especially in the next generation of games. It may be worth buying a bit more RAM, but 8GB is fine for gaming. 60FPS in Ultra for you, my friend!
You could always go with a 256 bit graphics card. But as the others said more RAM is not bad either. I am fairly certain though that if you have an SSD then you can govern a part of it as RAM. (Don't do this with a hard drive, its too slow) that way you could expand to 32Gb without a problem. I might be wrong though so don't quote me. I am actually planning a build with almost exactly the same setup.
+Dante Mendoza Huh? What's that? I don't even know what this guy is talking about... I just wanted a simple tutorial on how to build a pc... This didn't help me, and now you're bringing up this thermal paste stuff? I'm so lost...
The heatsink comes with Thermal Paste, you won't need to applie any thermal paste with a stock cooler whether it's Intel or AMD. If you are using a aftermarket cooler such as Cooler Master, Corsair, NZXT and more, all of the aftermarket coolers should comes with thermal paste but not preapplied, cut open the bag of thermal paste and squeeze a rice sized amount of it and DO NOT SPREAD IT. Put your CPU cooler and it will spread the thermal paste by itself when you are tightening down the Cooler.
HAHAHA WTF DUDE the build I am planning on to build this summer is EXACTLY the same as yours. And costs exactly the same, to the last cent. Good luck man. I am still hoping to get few $ off of it, maybe the parts are gonna be a little cheaper in 2-3 months
+smacky coe this is a build off scattervolt... And no it's definetly shit! Change the 980 in the msi GTX970 4g gaming.. And upgrade other things upgrade the proccessor in a i7 4770k or 4790k! Than you can upgrade the ram into 16GB
His apartment caught for and burned down! Could only save a macbook air, paperwork, phone and some clothes! All cameras and hardware and everything else melted.
Thanks a bunch Austin this video totally helped me built my gaming pc. I do know about the components but you helped me put the parts together! And even better it turned on, on my first try! Thank you Austin!
Are these good specs? Psu: Potato Graphics: Picture of Mario Cpu: RC car motor Hard Drive: A book RAM: A gift card Cooling system: A pack of ice Case: None
How's this? Memory: Crucial 64GB DDR4 RAM (8x8GB) Processor: Intel Core i7 Extreme Storage: 3TB OS: Windows 7 Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Liquid cooled and I've got a corsair gaming PC case with sound proofing. I don't know what motherboard it is though
Connor Wright No, please no. At most you need 16 gigabytes for gaming. Most people go with 8 gigabytes. You don't need an i7 for gaming. You could've spent less money going with the i5. You don't even give us a model for the cpu but whatever it is I assume the graphics card is holding it back. Get a 970 or 980 or something.
i didn't push the IO shield in all the way so my motherboard didn't line up with the case holes that and i ordered the wrong case was too small for graphics card but other than that was easy *****
dacdan of hyrule I think this is a great build and might just use it myself. I'm not sure what your budget is but I guessed around 950$ so here ya go. pcpartpicker.com/p/8Kr4kL The build I made that I would love to build is pcpartpicker.com/p/gWjDyc
Thank you so much for this guide, I built my first computer 2 days ago following this guide & it took me about 2 hours, but I did it. the bloody thing wouldn't turn on at first and I was devastated but then I figured out the mother board 24 pin connector wasn't plugged in properly hahaha. Thank you so much man!
Kicking off 2014 with a new setup, intro and a full guide on how to build yourself a gaming PC!
Really lovin your Los Pollos Hermanos shirt. GO BREAKING BAD.
really nice intro! :D
Love your videos!

Jonner im sorry i wasent thinking because that intro was probably the best on youtube
this video changed my life - building my own computer turned me from a kid interested in tech into a full-on nerd/tinkerer.
without this video I would probably be a completely different person. it sounds extreme, but literally 99% of my dreams and aspirations stem from me just spending such an absurd amount of time tinkering with computers/code.
thank you, Austin Evans.

I can't help but laugh at people in the comments saying, "I want to play Minecraft, LoL, etc." and then they have a damn i7, GTX 970, 16 GB RAM, etc. XD
im wanting to play skyrim
You'll want something like an FX-6300 and a GTX 950/960 if you are on a strict budget.
+AlphaLineGaming
Can you run you dgpu on first install, as in build it and then connect you cables to your gpu instead of your mobo on first time system use?
+AlphaLineGaming I just want to emulate retro games will a FX 8300, GTX Titan X, and 32 GB of ram be enough I'm not sure. I think I might need two titans, Super Mario World is pretty demanding.
+AlphaLineGaming Not really. For Skyrim, a Pentium and 750 Ti should do just fine without too much GPU hungry mods.
Love the new intro Austin!

I built my PC on the 23rd of December and I just wanted to say thanks as you're one of a few people that has inspired me to build a PC, it was a great experience + I saved a lot of money. Thanks! :D
Good job! What specs?
xazzerr AMD FX-6300, ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0, MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr 2GB OCed Edition, Corsair 200R Case...
Nice, I was thinking of getting a very similar one :D Same processor, motherboard but for graphics card probaly R9 270X.(I can get BF4 for free with this card)
xazzerr Woah, that will be awesome! I really want to get BF4 but I can't buy it ATM, need a few more dollars. Do you know where I can get it for cheap w/ Multiplayer? :P

I still remember building my PC with the help of this video in mid-2015. Good memories :)
Back when Austin was really in depth on how to do something...
DR. NOODLES I was like, "Why not watch the old tutorial?" and then, "Well this is more helpful..." lol

Lmao
+Max Maillet probably 15fps
But the real question is if you can play Tetris?
I luv you.
This has been in my watch later for 8 years…. 🤣 I’m just now looking at this haha.

is there anything I need to change? I'm willing to upgrade my motherboard to a sheet of plastic.
Yes but it can't run minesweeper at 1080p at Extra ULTRA settings with Shaders ;___;
ok then, what do I need to do? I could over clock my cpu so that I can get the power of a cats brain. Will that work? pls answer ASAP
i'm thinking of 3, but I could buy the special tesco value paper for the 6. I don't know what to do. Would you save the extra £0.7?
LOOOOOOOL the hamster on the wheel got me.
What's your GPU? I'm using a Blue Crayon and it works great, gets about 70fps.

+Rigsen-san ok i need to know if it can run demanding games like just cause 3
2 years old and still better then all the others I watched thanks

+Ch33kyMangozOnPC Im sorry, but they are. They're better for peformance, but for a lot of people they go with amd for the cheap price.
great video!
I agree with you !

Can I run COD AW at 2465255275773644743853754 fps?
MaxtheKidMD Maybe upgrade your RAM to a pizza hut box and you will be perfect,but if you cant you are still fine
+MaxtheKidMD Nah man, instead of a can of coke make it a can of Mountain Dew. Then you will probably get like 60fps on almost any game.
Upgrade that Diaper to a toilet paper roll and u should have enough space for some good looking cable management!
Forgot to say your power supply is horrid,upgrade that to an old piece of spit ASAP
***** yeah, a liter bottle should get him enough power
loving the breaking bad shirt :)
Watched this video maybe 23 times?
Few years old, still a great video
Thanks so much Austin! I just built my 1st pc :)
that cable management ;_;
rip eyes
Don't cut the red wire! Not even the black!!!
He said his particular case was tricky to manage.
Better than soldering wires and you soldered it into the wrong one and you have to rebuy the circutboard you were using.
I've used that same case before. Rosewill Line-M wins the worst case ever for managing cables!
can this build run minesweeper
gpu: used condom
cpu: glass dildo
motherboard: old sock
storage: leftover steak
psu: lemon
case: paper box
thanks

+swaglord It'll work, but you're gonna want to make sure it's an unwashed sock.
Yes.
This is one of the most detailed and helpful guides thanks
can you please do one "for dummies" where you literally walk us through everything. i cant afford even an upgrade let alone a screw up
Most important tip of all is to not close the side panel before posting, otherwise the PC will explode...
wtf?
Its sort of a pc building superstition.
XRTManBearPig try it. i dare you.
Hey Austin, can you do another 500/600$ Pc build for mid 2014? Thanks.
I found Austin's channel because I heard his house burned down. Then I saw this video, built a computer a month later, and have been an enthusiast ever since. Thanks for introducing me to my favorite hobby Austin!
Werent you in were the millers?
you need a haircut for sure O.o
Sorry for your house man...
***** THERE IS NO WE THERE IS NO I THERE IS COMRADE
Me and my computer fanatic friend are building my PC. 2500 dollars later it's all coming in and I can't wait. Thanks for the tips Austin ;)
How much money would I need if I want to make a PC that can play fallout 4 with good specs and such.
I think I'll just stick to the ps4 version then.
Checkjaguar108 that guy is talking bs. For 600-800 dollars you should be able to play it on at least very high settings.
Fallout 4?? $600.
Lol don't listen to these guy, if you want medium settings, $400, high $500 and max will cost around &600-$700.(at 60+fps)
Definately, A pc to run those games at higher standards than the ps4 or xbox one should only cost about $400 or $300 at least. The prices i mentioned above and the quality settings can give you above 100 fps on all, but on high settings, a $400 pc can deliver excellent performance.

***** Thanks for the recommendation, but I definitely can't afford that xD
This is my first PC build so I want to start simple (at about $400
Also since it's my first build I have to get a monitor and a keyboard which bumps it over $500 D:
Thanks again though!
Ardency OK this one is alot cheaper (parts from newegg)

Your tshirt where did you buy it
gus fring
Please do The Positron build video im gonna buy the parts but im nervous if i mess up if you can make a video on how to build it i would appreciate it =D
This was made a year ago chances are.of reading this is not goibg to happen...but just keep learning techniques other people building different pc's or try finding a picture or video of someone build with the same case but different parts
ImNormalNinja™ - NBA 2K15 - Arma 2 DayZ ok thanks man :D
Thank you so much this is by far the best and shortest guide on TH-cam!
Is this good enough?
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz (Will be overclocking)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX AM3+
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600
GPU: XFX Radeon R9 285 2GB Double Dissipation
PSU: Thermaltake 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Why would you need to overclock? 3.5Ghz is surely fast enough...
+theoryguy
He might need extra power if he's over clocking (depends on how much he's going to push his CPU and gpu)
(in my opinion) intel core is better than amd processors
***** But they do cost more! :D
You can't say "good enough"
Anything is good. Better than a piss 4 or a launch box 1
Nice new intro.
Just add more doge.
wow.
such pc.
technology so cool.
AMD
wow.
Nice t-shirt :)
Thanks a lot on the video, I recently got into Pc gaming and I was building my own. Did not know where to start but thanks to you I have my very own built Pc. They way you walked through it and they camera was showing everything. I appreciate it!
Im looking into building a pc and I was just wondering if you need to buy a wireless adapter to connect to the interent. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
+Josh Campbell No you dont need it, if you have an ethernet cable you can just plug that in but if you want to use wifi (Not recommended) you do need a wifi card.
Um are my pc specs good I am a NOOB at Computers
CPU nvidia Geforce gtx 111
GPU Intel celeron 1.1GHZ
Motherboard: The thing from bet buy i got
HDD: 12GB 1111RPM

And this All costed 19289038349489743897598$ was it worth it???
This shit is older then Kobe Bryant and not even funny but you wouldn't know that because you are probably just 12.
haha intel celeron :v
HaveADeath why do you say he is 12, is he not allowed to have fun and live a happy life? He can troll/joke if he wants to and you cannot stop him
MatrixTehGamer I can, I just chose not to.
Nice one lol
Can we all agree that anyone who wants a gaming pc for mine craft alone. Shouldn't be allowed to own one?
yes
Minecraft is easy to run I can run it with my Intel core i5 4460 integrated graphics
Even thought I have a gtx 960
+Just A Regular Guy my athlon 2.7 ghz gets like 200 fps in minecraft
Right? 👆🏻 it's not hard to run xD
Was finding for a proper video to make a new PC. Thanks Austin !!!
I like that shirt Austin ;)
Would love to be a PC gamer but i just dont really understand all the concepts & what to buy because i just dont want to waste alot of money on a PC that i dont really know how to use.
That's how I felt but in the end I knew what I was missing so I just went for it and I've never been happier.
Same
Funny thing is, when I built my first PC, I watched this video to learn how, I almost fucked up by buying another motherboard. If it wasnt for Austin, I would know nothing about computer, I Owe Austin a lot.
Me too
Austin+ Technology= Life ♥️✌🏼️🇧🇪😎👏🏻
How did it
Go? I'm about it build my first gaming pc and I'm really nervous. Any tips? And how long did it take you?
+NoReAsOnGaMiNg That's me , do you have steam or hangouts
***** Its very easy, as long as you watched this video, you'll be fine. Might I ask, what is your budget and what specs did you go for?
+Zipping Basher I've already got the parts I'm just waiting. To build it Sunday! I will send you a list of my parts in October part picker in a sec
watching this in 2022 it fells like a modern video
I love the shirt ;)
Austin thank you for the video, but could you show us how to transfer windows 7 cd in to a flash drive. thumbs up so can Austin see this comment
Does this apply to ANY pc?
Yes he said that in the beginning
Yes aslong as the case is similar
This is the best PC building tutorial on the internet!
I'm building my first pc right now and it's the most stressful thing lol
did you finish it?
It's so easy though, except for the front panel connectors
Hassan Haq lol, how? Did you read your motherboard manual?
Chance Collins The front panel connectors? Yes, I did eventually read the manual but they were so small, confusing, and hard to keep packed in a single block. I had to lay down in order to reach below to push them in
Sui your fucking dumb or something!

Kobi Bellos Looks great but you really dont need the 212 evo as you cant overclock with that chip, the stock cooler will do just fine. Also if you can strech your budget a little further, you should get a R9 380 instead for the GPU and a cheap 120gb SSD will also help you out alot in loading programs and starting windows.
Kobi Bellos i wouldnt use the optical drive unless you need it
+MultiMaxTeam you can't overclock that??!? That is the cpu I have, and I was looking forward to overclocking.
NuclearChicken911 No you cant sadly, only K branded CPUs like the i5 4670k and 4690k are overclockable
For 14 more bucks get the better 4gb sapphire r9 380, the 4460 won't overclock so need for the hyper 212 right now, and the 212 doesn't fit in a spec 02 anyway. Done.
Hey guys I'm actually planning on joining this master race,and I'm actually gonna build my own PC,and I wanted to see if these parts seem any good...
CPU-intel core i7-4790k (8 mb cache,up to 4.40 GHz)
Motherboard-MSI ATX DDR3 1333 LGA 1150
B85-G41 PC MATE
RAM-Corsair Vengeance blue 8GB
Graphicscard-EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC support 2GB GDDR5 128bit Dual-Link DVI-I,Hdmi,DP 1.2
Power supply-Corsair CX series 750 Watt
HDD-WD blue 1 TB,3.5 inch,7200 RPM,SATA 6GB/s,64 mb cache
Case-NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX mid tower.
You're ready to join the race.
Yesssssss.
If anything it's a bit of overkill. At the moment, games don't really utilise the hyperthreading that the i7 boasts, but that may change in the future - especially in the next generation of games. It may be worth buying a bit more RAM, but 8GB is fine for gaming. 60FPS in Ultra for you, my friend!
Yes!I think I might go with 16 GB of ram,as for the CPU,what would you recommend, or should I just stick with the i7?
You could always go with a 256 bit graphics card. But as the others said more RAM is not bad either. I am fairly certain though that if you have an SSD then you can govern a part of it as RAM. (Don't do this with a hard drive, its too slow) that way you could expand to 32Gb without a problem. I might be wrong though so don't quote me. I am actually planning a build with almost exactly the same setup.
Another great review but this was the memories of your old studios :( still watching this
WTF HE DIDNT SHOW US HOW TO APPLY THERMAL PASTE
+Dante Mendoza Huh? What's that? I don't even know what this guy is talking about... I just wanted a simple tutorial on how to build a pc... This didn't help me, and now you're bringing up this thermal paste stuff? I'm so lost...
***** No idea what' you're talking about.
The heatsink comes with Thermal Paste, you won't need to applie any thermal paste with a stock cooler whether it's Intel or AMD. If you are using a aftermarket cooler such as Cooler Master, Corsair, NZXT and more, all of the aftermarket coolers should comes with thermal paste but not preapplied, cut open the bag of thermal paste and squeeze a rice sized amount of it and DO NOT SPREAD IT. Put your CPU cooler and it will spread the thermal paste by itself when you are tightening down the Cooler.
It was pre-applied but I recommend applying some as well
+xVoicless if u don't know what thermal paste is u probably shouldn't build a PC...
how long do pc take to build?
entry-level builds don't usually take more than 10 minuter but high end builds could take up to 30
Underman Brian really that's it? i heard is take like 3-6 hours sometimes. thx
+PiggyHD that's only if you fuck it up a lot or you have a dead part and can't find it
Underman Brian oh ok thx
+PiggyHD i built mine in about 40 minutes
I swear he's got some makeup on
Universes ikr
I'm so excited. I'm doing a high-end build soon and I can't wait to have more flexibility with what I can do on my PC.
880 Console Peasants Disliked.
WOW
881 bitch
884 fucker
_Nuclear_ Games_ 886 fucker
887 Bitch
How do you know they're all console peasants?
Is this a good build? pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
HAHAHA WTF DUDE the build I am planning on to build this summer is EXACTLY the same as yours. And costs exactly the same, to the last cent. Good luck man. I am still hoping to get few $ off of it, maybe the parts are gonna be a little cheaper in 2-3 months
lol
Oh lmao, I was like whettttttt
Anton Binnberg oops
+smacky coe this is a build off scattervolt... And no it's definetly shit! Change the 980 in the msi GTX970 4g gaming.. And upgrade other things upgrade the proccessor in a i7 4770k or 4790k! Than you can upgrade the ram into 16GB
Too bad all your computers and expensive hardware an personal belongings got burnt
Insurance will probably cover it.
Ya but all that dedication into the PC builds.... Poor dogs died too :(
What happened? I`m a newer sub
His apartment caught for and burned down! Could only save a macbook air, paperwork, phone and some clothes! All cameras and hardware and everything else melted.
Daniel Adams Sadly, his apartment building recently burned down. He only took his phone and laptop with him.
Thanks austin,your tutorial is simple and clean,like it so much
I built mine but nothing happened when I turned it on, help please
+Michael i have the same problem

I just wish he'd narrat normally, up down up down in vocal, his narration is annoying as hell.
i think he is a good guy, but i have to agree haha
Thanks a bunch Austin this video totally helped me built my gaming pc. I do know about the components but you helped me put the parts together! And even better it turned on, on my first try! Thank you Austin!
Are these good specs?
Psu: Potato
Graphics: Picture of Mario
Cpu: RC car motor
Hard Drive: A book
RAM: A gift card
Cooling system: A pack of ice
Case: None
How's this?
Memory: Crucial 64GB DDR4 RAM (8x8GB)
Processor: Intel Core i7 Extreme
Storage: 3TB
OS: Windows 7
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Liquid cooled and I've got a corsair gaming PC case with sound proofing. I don't know what motherboard it is though
Why?
?
Connor Wright No, please no.
At most you need 16 gigabytes for gaming. Most people go with 8 gigabytes.
You don't need an i7 for gaming. You could've spent less money going with the i5.
You don't even give us a model for the cpu but whatever it is I assume the graphics card is holding it back. Get a 970 or 980 or something.
This is the
Intel Core i7 5820K Extreme (6 x 3.3 GHZ - Turbo 6 x 3.6 GHZ)
Connor Wright You really need to upgrade your graphics card. It's holding it back. Did you build it or buy it?
i just built my first computer it is the easiest fucking thing ever the only issues were due to my idiocy
building mine tomorrow, wish me luck
i didn't push the IO shield in all the way so my motherboard didn't line up with the case holes that and i ordered the wrong case was too small for graphics card but other than that was easy
*****
SuperSeriousJack1
***** yeah I got mine together pretty easily, had an hour panic because it wouldn't boot though. Turns out my GPU wasn't all the way in.
SuperSeriousJack1
enjoy
This has restored my confidence in building my own PC.
Thanks Austin! :D
I DID IT then my new pc fell over and my cpu got a static electric charge and no longer works
+GAMESLAM lol wtf
ey lmao
Electrostatic discharge? Haha
I was building my PC and while installing the CPU I bent some pins on my Motherboard. Fuck my life
***** I actually dropped off my Motherboard at a PC clinic place. But thanks.
***** Did, luckily I got it repaired for free
Im happy for you. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with my build, lol
Is this good enough for playing modern games at 1080p?
pcpartpicker.com/p/KmZrCJ
Upgrade CPU if you can and if not then yes it's fine. Possible upgrade power supply as well.
Star Oscarito OK thanks this is the new one pcpartpicker.com/p/pxTgxr
dacdan of hyrule
I think this is a great build and might just use it myself. I'm not sure what your budget is but I guessed around 950$ so here ya go. pcpartpicker.com/p/8Kr4kL
The build I made that I would love to build is pcpartpicker.com/p/gWjDyc
Star Oscarito Ayy, do you think this is a nice build?

Now That's some fucking professional Camera/Editing austin.
Just built my first pc thanks so much austinevans for this video it was truly a great help
Thank you so much for this guide, I built my first computer 2 days ago following this guide & it took me about 2 hours, but I did it. the bloody thing wouldn't turn on at first and I was devastated but then I figured out the mother board 24 pin connector wasn't plugged in properly hahaha. Thank you so much man!
Oh my god you are a life saver the other tutorials are like over an hour long
easy to understand,and well shown.Thanks buddy!
You are awesome for doing this vid, very well done, informative, concise, clear...cheers!
Just built my one using this tutorial. Currently installing Windows! Thanks his helped to much.
Most helpful video on TH-cam keep it up
Thanks a lot. This guide and a few others were a big help.
