I can’t believe it’s 4 years already. I listen to your 2020 guide and built my first PC then fell down the rabbit hole of computers and now got a job as an IT Technician. So all I can say is Thank You for inspiring me. It’s kinda lame when I typed it out but I mean it.
@@Shadow_1695After building my PC I just kept learning things about computers and then decided I should try to get a job working with computers. I changed my major to IT because it was a new major they just started offering at my college. I got an internship at an IT department. They liked me and a position opened up they offered me the job. I’m didn’t even graduate yet.
😂😂😂 I could see how u see it’s lame… but tbh I’m glad u said it because it gives me an idea of what I might wanna do it’s almost like a little circle of inspiration 😂😂
Hey Austin. A longgggggg time silent subscriber here. Prolly my very first comment here on your channel. Used to watch you 1080TI builds since 2015 -2016 (university days). Building a PC has been my 9 year dream. And I can finally be happy to say that I built my own PC (with 0 knowledge), yesterday with the same cabinet and liquid cooler. All I have to say are four words. THANK YOU SO MUCH. From Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India ❤
Thanks for this vid. My son is currently following along as he builds a pc. Suffering from anxiety, deppression etc it is good to see him enjoying something and gaining a sense of self achievement. Thanks again.
@@GoatedASF2K Very well thanks. Over 2 grand worth of gear, a big responsibility, passed with only once asking for help to hold the processor cooler in place as he put the screws in. Really proud.
Been watching pc building tutorials for the past 2 months in preparation for my new build and I must say this is one of the most informative and comprehensive videos I’ve ever watched on the subject. Definitely gained a new sub!
Ok I know there are quite a few channels that show you how to build a pc, but Austin's teaching is super easy to follow and he explains the process so that dummies like me can understand it. My next pc I will build myself and I will watch this video again to do it. Thank you Austin.
As of this video, I built my first PC using last year's guide from you exactly a week ago and honestly dude, can't stress "thank you" enough. You were clean, thorough, explained everything needed and this build went without a hitch! Major props to you, Austin, and thanks again, dude!!! ✨
i dont know if its just me but its so satisfying watching these types of videos of austin building pcs. or when the crew compete against each other like in broke vs pro
There are many key sellers and free tools available to activate Windows 11. I tried several sources, including eBay, but they all stopped working after a couple of months. It was frustrating when my Windows kept deactivating. Once, my laptop crashed, and I couldn’t reactivate the key because it was no longer valid. Then I found a great company and haven't had any issues since. Their prices were also fair. (Already activated 2 years)
@@Samluckyman124 Using free tools to activate Windows can be risky as they often originate from free sources. There's a chance they could contain malware or other harmful software that could compromise the security of your system. However, I instead pay a few extra bucks for peace of mind.
yeah not everyone knows how to build one. itsl ike im sure you cant build a car engine. and 3 hours long is perfect because he is the only one who goes in details
This video is a gem even for non first time builders. I build my first pc when i was 14 back in the beginning of the 90's and things have changed so much since then. Big thanks to you and all the team worked behind the camera.
@Akszew Never mind catch on fire 🔥 they can pop and takeout all the parts in your build. I personally have never had a psu catch fire , but maybe that is because I don't buy cheap power supplys. Just buy a Quality PSU from the start . Sure, quality psu can also fail and have bad moments, but most have protection built in so they don't fry your PC if they decide to pop. Cheap PSU , you get full power load directly onto your components that work off DC. Think of your PC like building a house , you are not going to build your house directly on the sand ,you will put a good foundation first, using a cheap board and psu is building directly on the sand , it's all good till the tide comes in.
i always spend at least £300 on a psu, and it's always platinum rating minimum, also it's a good idea to do some research on EXACTLY what ram and speed your motherboard can support, i've seen too many people spend money on ram and can't enable xmp because their ram type and speed aren't supported by the board, this is especially worse when it comes to DDR5
Did I, an IT major with plenty of experience both building and repairing PCs, just spend 3 hours watching a "how to build a PC" video? Yes, yes I did. Did I enjoy every minute of it? Yes, yes I did
updating the BIOS is an important step, last night I had a terrible time with an older system. I bought a prebuilt CyberpowerPC the previous owner had taken completely apart to clean before realizing they didn't know to put it back together. it has a Ryzen 7 3700X and RX 5700 XT, when I put it together I used a NVME from an HP prebuilt but it was only 256GB, so I ordered a Crucial P3 3rd gen. After installing the new NVME the system wouldn't post, and was giving a VGA debug light, I banged my head against the wall and as soon as I put the old drive in it booted. I had started the RMA process, but decided to try a BIOS update as a hail Mary, and it worked. I had a very similar issue replacing the SATA SSD that went bad in my brothers PC recently, he had never used an NVME in it, Windows would not install to it, updated the BIOS and it worked perfectly.
This is an amazing tutorial. I originally subscribed to watch Austin’s PC builds at different price points ($500, $700, $800, etc.) back in the day so pretty stoked to see another PC focused video.
Wanted to say thanks so much for the video. Just finished my first ever gaming pc build from scratch. Didn't have these same parts, but your video made it easier for me to understand everything going on with the parts I did get. Amazingly, everything worked great from the start. Much appreciated!
What an amazing video! I’ve been watching you since 2014, around 10 years old and here I am, 2024, 19, and finally built my first PC, and I could not thank you enough for everything you’ve done. This video and many others inspired me to get on the PC build grind, so thank you for everything man. Have a good one
Nice to see a realistic PC Build video. Just replaced my 3060 with a 4070 Super and had no idea about the new power connector. The MSI Card I bought recommends not to use the PCIE Splitter cable (came with my Corsair 650w)to the adapter. So I found a Corsair replacement that just has the one new connector straight to two PCIE power ports on the power supply.
@@disguiseddv8ant486 Mmm that's not really true, an 8-pin connector doesn't 'provide' 150W, it tells the card it can draw *up to* 150W from that 8-pin plug. You can plug a split 8-pin into two connectors on the card and the PSU will happily provide up to 300W through it. Whether you're comfortable with that is personal preference, but the 150W standard is way below the dangerous level for up to spec cables.
FINALLY someone who actually did a good job building a pc video for beginners that does a great job explaining for beginners. Ty for explaining every port on a motherboard.
Just bought the last part for my new build, haven't gotten any new parts since 2017 and so excited to do it all again, you helped me then and thanks for helping me again Austin!
My two cents. The easiest way to find where everything on the motherboard is, is to just take a picture of it with your phone. You can always refer to it. Wear gloves and don't stand on a rug when assembling your PC. Great video, direct, right to the point, no BS. Thank You
Thanks to this tutorial I built my second ever gaming pc, and I must say it was very informative because last time I built my computer was 2019 and lots of things have changed since then! Ive been watching your videos for a long time, so when I saw this this video got uploaded I knew I had to save it to use later. Thanks!
I'm about to attempt my first pc build (and first pc since 2001). I've been flirting with the idea for a while now, but this year I'll finally have the funds to do it. I can't tell you how many times I've watched ALL of your "pc build" videos. I swear every updated video, you find a way to be more detailed and explain things better (not that you weren't great the first time), you find a way. I appreciate you and everyone behind the camera very much.
i’ve been waiting for this since the start of 2024 😅. I love your work and how helpful you are, keep going austin we will keep watching ❤. (I better not see a “I have some news” video 😡)
All tech TH-camrs have great build guides, but, Austin is probably the one that really guides you by your hand to every step and aspect of the build. Also, this was probably the most relaxing build tutorial that I have ever seen. Without any detrimental bias towards any of your colleagues on the TH-cam platform, Mr Austin Evans you are the best. Doesn’t hurt to be the most relatable one of them all. 😊
I wish we had a Micro Center here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Or at least, I wish it would open sooner. There's a Micro Center opening in Q4 2024 at the old Bed Bath & Beyond on Stevens Creek Blvd. in Santa Clara.
I live 20 minutes from my local one in Cambridge Massachusetts. I'll be going by tomorrow to do my parts pick for my first build after decades of console use.
Austin is the most genuine TH-cam computer-building guide. With this kind of exhibition, everybody with enthusiasm for PC build will eventually build an awesome PC. Keep it up!
Don't think he was yapping tbh. I think he was just trying to get into all the details and yeh, but if your attention span is really low, maybe this isn't the video for you lol
@@MoxiEval3 hour video on building a pc but I have a low attention span I watched a different video 10 mins long and that helped me more than this dude yapping for 3 hours
literally just built a PC yesterday and finished today because of you, thank you so much, did a ryzen 9 bundle and a radeon graphics card, with a all black custom case ,fist time ever thinking about or touching a PC. I wanted one for youtube and podcasting with content creation but streaming as a back burner to help me get into my games again more. computer is fast as shit and beyond what I expected for me to only have ever been on consoles. now time to take my career to a nw level.
One of my favorite type of videos on this channel. This is what actually made me build my own PC back in 2020. Thank you Austin. Keep making great content like always.
I am building a gaming pc with ryzen 7 7800x3d, Asus Tuf x670e plus Wi-Fi and a gigabyte Rtx 4070 super Gaming OC. I have been watching your 2023 and now your 2024 videos and they are the best I’ve found. Great Job !! You give enough information to build a wide variety of gaming desktops.
Thank you Austin! I just built my first PC thanks to you mostly and a couple other channels for more intricate rgb cabling lol but you got me through it all. I really appreciate you dude! My first boot was a success and updated bios and everything was successful. No issues. For my first time..I gotta say I'm pretty proud of myself haha 😅 the stress was killing me and anxiety but I made it through! Tysm!!!!
36:26 Molex connector is not for floppy disk drives, you don't pinch to install, you pinch to help you remove it, not all of the molex connector have those "pinchy" ejectors.
I didnt "need" this video, already built my first pc, but this autoplayed and I watched the first 10 minutes and I can already say this is a solid guide!! Great information here.
I love watching these build guides I built my first pc last year following along to your video it really helped me a lot and I enjoy that PC and am planning on building pcs and selling them when I upgrade to a new pc
Phenomenal tutorial! I was able to build a PC in about 4 hours with my 8 year old and 12 year old daughters. Austin, you are a true professional! Through, entertaining, energetic, and knowledgable beyond compare!
This was extremely helpful when I built my new gaming pc for the first time. I only had a 5 year old pre-built laptop, but I thought it would be nice to try picking parts for myself. The only snag I hit was when installing Windows where it didn't want to install on any of the M2 drives I put in. I had to look elsewhere to format the drive to continue.
hi austin. Am from India. I love PCs and tech. Had seen PC building before but none of them explained in such depth and in such easier way. I dont think i ve ever watched a 3 hr long video which is outside the scope of my field of study. Thank you so much for the effort you have put in the vid and the way u do it makes us love doing pc buidling. Thanks a lot again. You inspire me to keep loving these stuff and tech in general. btw this is my first video watching you build it. Popped randomly in my feed and for once am thankful to the algorithm
Hey man, thanks for this video, because this could come in handy if i ever wanted to make some money. Although its a long process, but thank you for this video!
I bought all the components to build my first PC this morning and this video came in clutch! It took me a while to finish it, but it was my first time so its okay. Its funny that I have seen many videos like this in the past even when I wasn't planning on building a PC at the time lol
This was super helpful, thank you! I hadn't built a pc in over a decade but this brilliant tutorial gave me the confidence to put together a nice gaming box in a couple of hours with no issues whatsoever. It POSTed first try and everything is recognized and all the fans and panel switches/LEDs are working with all the cables nicely routed and secured. But I forgot I didn't have a USB keyboard and mouse so I'm stymied updating BIOS and installing Windows until tomorrow.
Woah, it's 2024, which means I've been watching your videos for 10 years. I originally found you from someone sending me your photon build, and that was the basis for my first ever PC. I just rewatched that video for a nostalgia trip. She still serves me today after thousands of hours and having every part upgraded multiple times, still all AMD. It's been a great ride watching you all this time and I hope you continue with educational and entertaining content! Thanks for your videos
I've got 2 builds both using a 4090 and never had any issues with using the 12v cable the psus came with, you just need to make sure there is enough length on the cable so it can be seated in the socket properly with only a very minimal amount of bend.
I was just looking up pc stuff and builds knowing nothing about pcs, and was scared to build it myself and was gunna pay someone to do it. But I think I’m confident to do it myself now. Thank you so much. Love the walk through
yo austin idk if youll ever see this but I just wanted to say thank you, there was so many things that I didnt know when it came about checking specs, changing settings, and where to plug stuff in. I found this video more than helpful and I just wanted to say thank you ❤
I would like to thank you very, very much Austin. I watched this video dozens of times while i was waiting to get all the pieces for my very first pc, and then just yesterday, after the last couple of pieces arrived, i managed to assemble it and everything went perfectly. It was an awesome experience and i'm so happy about the results. Again, thank you so much for the video, for how great you are explaining how to do things and for your energy!
even though this will probably be lost to the void of the internet. I just want you to know that, Your videos taught me how to build PCs 9 years ago, i will forever be grateful for you and these videos. Thanks so much Austin for all the years of knowledge. You were the first person to teach me that i can teach myself.
Holyyy wow Just finished building my first PC! what a friggin journey Lol Couldn't had done it without my local Micro Center and your help Austin. Big W! Cheers!
Man, seriously, I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. Today I have built in my very first PC at 32 years old. I’m an old school CS player and I wanted to get back into gaming and so forth. I’m a married man and a dad so this building time it has been amazing cause it has distracted me a bit haha. Otherwise, thank you for your help I just finished installing the drivers l. ( I had to do a Q FLASH PLUS) it worked and now I’m good to go. Thank you
Took a Year but finally doing it. Thank you for helping me with my worries. And thank you for listening to me in Microcenter. Super Appreciative and the game I mentioned was Xbox/ PC Shadowrun 2006.
plan on making my first pc soon and found this video incredibly helpful. helped ease my anxiety on spending a chunk of money and messing it up. thank you.
This is great, thanks! I'm looking to build my first gaming pc and that bundle & save deal would be perfect, but I'm in Canada. I wish we had a Micro Center.
I just got my last part for my first pc build last week. I felt like the luckiest person in the world when your vid came out the next day. Let you know if my first build goes great :D
I love these tutorials man I have to say when I got my custom pre built this made me realize I should have built my own and your last intel build vid started a monster I went from a custom pre build of a 13700kf 3060 16gb of RAMM to HIGH END build not a single piece of my PC not even a single piece from the custom pre built is a part of my main PC 14900k 128gb RAMM 4070 ti super THANK AUSTIN!!!! for helping me find a true passion (expensive one cough cough) I love building them and learning about them again THANK YOU!!!!!! keep these going hope more people pick it up from watching these
Awesome job on the explanations of what things are and what they do. Great guide for first time builders. One thing I would say is if you do throw away your boxes, make sure to cut out and keep the serial numbers for warranty purposes. I have only had to RMA like 3 things in the past 20+ years but I was thankful that I had those serial numbers. Also, even though it can be a pain, register your stuff if possible. I have seen friends fight with an RMA because they didn't have a proof of purchase and the manufacturer used the date the item was made and not the purchase date. Again great video!
One thing missing from the BIOS section is actually tuning your fans. Mine were really loud after building my PC. They were set to full all the time, and finding out you can tune your fans so they don’t sound like a jet engine.
Built my first PC in 2019 following a tutorial from ol’ Austin. This is much more in-depth. Definitely follow along! Back then he said the case doesn’t matter, could be a cardboard box (Austin, in fact has built computers out of cardboard) but he puts more emphasis into it now. I agree! I cheaper put on the case and, though the system was fantastic, I had to stare at what looked like a disappointment on the outside. Get a case you like.
2:33:33 the yellow color GPU connector is a safety measure after the melting connectors drama. The Idea is, after connecting it to the GPU you won't be able to see the yellow color, otherwise it's not properly connected.
GREAT video! Just completed my AMD build (7800X3d x 7900GRE) with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 Motherboard. Man was this comprehensive! Thank you so much for the content!!!!!
I can’t believe it’s 4 years already. I listen to your 2020 guide and built my first PC then fell down the rabbit hole of computers and now got a job as an IT Technician.

All tech TH-camrs have great build guides, but, Austin is probably the one that really guides you by your hand to every step and aspect of the build.
Also, this was probably the most relaxing build tutorial that I have ever seen. Without any detrimental bias towards any of your colleagues on the TH-cam platform, Mr Austin Evans you are the best. Doesn’t hurt to be the most relatable one of them all. 😊
Trust me, the small hole will accommodate the big peg if you push it hard enough.
I built my first ever gaming pc last year with the help of your past videos from 2022 and 2023. Happy to see this series is still going strong
I wish we had a Micro Center here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Or at least, I wish it would open sooner. There's a Micro Center opening in Q4 2024 at the old Bed Bath & Beyond on Stevens Creek Blvd. in Santa Clara.
Damn you guys are lucky. I live about an hour from Sac and my town only has a terrible Staples.
Dang I’m 3.5-4 hours from one
I live 20 minutes from my local one in Cambridge Massachusetts. I'll be going by tomorrow to do my parts pick for my first build after decades of console use.
Austin is the most genuine TH-cam computer-building guide. With this kind of exhibition, everybody with enthusiasm for PC build will eventually build an awesome PC. Keep it up!
Bro was yappin most of the video I'm tryna build a pc 😭😭
All that “yapping” was important information and things to look out for😂 thick numbskull
Did u build the pc or no?
Don't think he was yapping tbh. I think he was just trying to get into all the details and yeh, but if your attention span is really low, maybe this isn't the video for you lol
@@MoxiEval3 hour video on building a pc but I have a low attention span I watched a different video 10 mins long and that helped me more than this dude yapping for 3 hours
literally just built a PC yesterday and finished today because of you, thank you so much, did a ryzen 9 bundle and a radeon graphics card, with a all black custom case ,fist time ever thinking about or touching a PC. I wanted one for youtube and podcasting with content creation but streaming as a back burner to help me get into my games again more. computer is fast as shit and beyond what I expected for me to only have ever been on consoles. now time to take my career to a nw level.
Damn I’m barely starting and like I feel confused but I hope to be in your shoes soon
One of my favorite type of videos on this channel. This is what actually made me build my own PC back in 2020. Thank you Austin. Keep making great content like always.
Respect for making an 3 hour video on how to build a pc in 2024 😄i alwyas enjoy watching/listening to u so this is like a gift
Thank you so much for doing these tutorials for four years!! I got interested in computers when I came across your 2020 vid! Thank you.
I am building a gaming pc with ryzen 7 7800x3d, Asus Tuf x670e plus Wi-Fi and a gigabyte Rtx 4070 super Gaming OC. I have been watching your 2023 and now your 2024 videos and they are the best I’ve found. Great Job !! You give enough information to build a wide variety of gaming desktops.
One thing for the standoffs, if you have something like an iFixIt kit, you can use the 5 mm socket to install/remove them.
Thank you Austin! I just built my first PC thanks to you mostly and a couple other channels for more intricate rgb cabling lol but you got me through it all. I really appreciate you dude! My first boot was a success and updated bios and everything was successful. No issues. For my first time..I gotta say I'm pretty proud of myself haha 😅 the stress was killing me and anxiety but I made it through! Tysm!!!!
I'm 'bout to end this man's whole career.
36:26 Molex connector is not for floppy disk drives, you don't pinch to install, you pinch to help you remove it, not all of the molex connector have those "pinchy" ejectors.
It’s raining outside, and I fell asleep watching this. It was great. Thank you!
Tomorrow I'll be building my first PC in 17 years:) and this video is exactly everything that i need. Thanks man!
I didnt "need" this video, already built my first pc, but this autoplayed and I watched the first 10 minutes and I can already say this is a solid guide!! Great information here.
Thanks Austin I’m currently saving for parts, very helpful ❤
I love watching these build guides I built my first pc last year following along to your video it really helped me a lot and I enjoy that PC and am planning on building pcs and selling them when I upgrade to a new pc
Phenomenal tutorial! I was able to build a PC in about 4 hours with my 8 year old and 12 year old daughters. Austin, you are a true professional! Through, entertaining, energetic, and knowledgable beyond compare!
This was extremely helpful when I built my new gaming pc for the first time. I only had a 5 year old pre-built laptop, but I thought it would be nice to try picking parts for myself. The only snag I hit was when installing Windows where it didn't want to install on any of the M2 drives I put in. I had to look elsewhere to format the drive to continue.
hi austin. Am from India.
I love PCs and tech. Had seen PC building before but none of them explained in such depth and in such easier way. I dont think i ve ever watched a 3 hr long video which is outside the scope of my field of study. Thank you so much for the effort you have put in the vid and the way u do it makes us love doing pc buidling.
Thanks a lot again. You inspire me to keep loving these stuff and tech in general.
btw this is my first video watching you build it. Popped randomly in my feed and for once am thankful to the algorithm
It's like he's trying to teach a baby how to build a PC; very thorough!
Hey man, thanks for this video, because this could come in handy if i ever wanted to make some money. Although its a long process, but thank you for this video!
I bought all the components to build my first PC this morning and this video came in clutch! It took me a while to finish it, but it was my first time so its okay. Its funny that I have seen many videos like this in the past even when I wasn't planning on building a PC at the time lol
This was super helpful, thank you! I hadn't built a pc in over a decade but this brilliant tutorial gave me the confidence to put together a nice gaming box in a couple of hours with no issues whatsoever. It POSTed first try and everything is recognized and all the fans and panel switches/LEDs are working with all the cables nicely routed and secured. But I forgot I didn't have a USB keyboard and mouse so I'm stymied updating BIOS and installing Windows until tomorrow.
Just built my first gaming pc from scratch using this guide! Thanks for all the help!
Woah, it's 2024, which means I've been watching your videos for 10 years. I originally found you from someone sending me your photon build, and that was the basis for my first ever PC. I just rewatched that video for a nostalgia trip. She still serves me today after thousands of hours and having every part upgraded multiple times, still all AMD.
It's been a great ride watching you all this time and I hope you continue with educational and entertaining content! Thanks for your videos
I've got 2 builds both using a 4090 and never had any issues with using the 12v cable the psus came with, you just need to make sure there is enough length on the cable so it can be seated in the socket properly with only a very minimal amount of bend.
Built my first computer ever. Thank you for making it so straightforward. Your video is incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I was just looking up pc stuff and builds knowing nothing about pcs, and was scared to build it myself and was gunna pay someone to do it. But I think I’m confident to do it myself now. Thank you so much. Love the walk through
I also built my PC from your 2020 build and still strong. Thank you 👍🏾
I just need a prebuilt 😭
yo austin idk if youll ever see this but I just wanted to say thank you, there was so many things that I didnt know when it came about checking specs, changing settings, and where to plug stuff in. I found this video more than helpful and I just wanted to say thank you ❤
I would like to thank you very, very much Austin. I watched this video dozens of times while i was waiting to get all the pieces for my very first pc, and then just yesterday, after the last couple of pieces arrived, i managed to assemble it and everything went perfectly.
It was an awesome experience and i'm so happy about the results.
Again, thank you so much for the video, for how great you are explaining how to do things and for your energy!
even though this will probably be lost to the void of the internet. I just want you to know that, Your videos taught me how to build PCs 9 years ago, i will forever be grateful for you and these videos. Thanks so much Austin for all the years of knowledge. You were the first person to teach me that i can teach myself.
Holyyy wow Just finished building my first PC! what a friggin journey Lol Couldn't had done it without my local Micro Center and your help Austin. Big W! Cheers!
Thanks for always keeping it informative for new users
Man, seriously, I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. Today I have built in my very first PC at 32 years old. I’m an old school CS player and I wanted to get back into gaming and so forth. I’m a married man and a dad so this building time it has been amazing cause it has distracted me a bit haha. Otherwise, thank you for your help I just finished installing the drivers l. ( I had to do a Q FLASH PLUS) it worked and now I’m good to go. Thank you
Took a Year but finally doing it. Thank you for helping me with my worries. And thank you for listening to me in Microcenter. Super Appreciative and the game I mentioned was Xbox/ PC Shadowrun 2006.
I might not understand why these tutorials are growing to be exponentially longer as the years go by-
Still, best content you can find about PCs🤙🏻
Bro, you're awesome. Thanks for such an in depth guide to building a pc.
plan on making my first pc soon and found this video incredibly helpful. helped ease my anxiety on spending a chunk of money and messing it up. thank you.
Thanks for this I’m building my brother a pc this weekend and having this as a refresher (haven’t built a pc in a few years) has been very helpful
ive seen him making builds like this since 2020.. great that he still makes tutorials
Holy hands of time Batman, a 3 hour tutorial. I'm gonna need some popcorn for this
I just picked up that same bundle for $450 at Micro Center.
This is great, thanks! I'm looking to build my first gaming pc and that bundle & save deal would be perfect, but I'm in Canada. I wish we had a Micro Center.
You know its a good tutorial when my pc successfully boots first try on my first ever build. Amazing video 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
1:06 damn, with the things happing to intel chips right now, this aged FAST
I just got my last part for my first pc build last week. I felt like the luckiest person in the world when your vid came out the next day. Let you know if my first build goes great :D
I appreciate the clarity of your communication
Austin helped my build my PC last year. This video is even better. Even more detailed. I love it!
Honestly helped me heaps! I am building my pc in the next few weeks as buying parts weekly 🎉 going to watch this a few times so I’m ready 🤣
XDDD
DDD
lol
I love these tutorials man I have to say when I got my custom pre built this made me realize I should have built my own and your last intel build vid started a monster I went from a custom pre build of a 13700kf 3060 16gb of RAMM to HIGH END build not a single piece of my PC not even a single piece from the custom pre built is a part of my main PC 14900k 128gb RAMM 4070 ti super THANK AUSTIN!!!! for helping me find a true passion (expensive one cough cough) I love building them and learning about them again THANK YOU!!!!!! keep these going hope more people pick it up from watching these
Can’t upvote this video enough! Built my first pc thanks to your help from this video. Best pc tutorial I’ve come across. Thank you!!
Awesome job on the explanations of what things are and what they do. Great guide for first time builders. One thing I would say is if you do throw away your boxes, make sure to cut out and keep the serial numbers for warranty purposes. I have only had to RMA like 3 things in the past 20+ years but I was thankful that I had those serial numbers. Also, even though it can be a pain, register your stuff if possible. I have seen friends fight with an RMA because they didn't have a proof of purchase and the manufacturer used the date the item was made and not the purchase date. Again great video!
One thing missing from the BIOS section is actually tuning your fans. Mine were really loud after building my PC. They were set to full all the time, and finding out you can tune your fans so they don’t sound like a jet engine.
1. I have been waiting for the yearly video for months and wasn't dissipated at all
2. if only mystery tech was 3 hours too lol
Built my first PC in 2019 following a tutorial from ol’ Austin. This is much more in-depth. Definitely follow along!
Back then he said the case doesn’t matter, could be a cardboard box (Austin, in fact has built computers out of cardboard) but he puts more emphasis into it now. I agree! I cheaper put on the case and, though the system was fantastic, I had to stare at what looked like a disappointment on the outside. Get a case you like.
2:33:33 the yellow color GPU connector is a safety measure after the melting connectors drama. The Idea is, after connecting it to the GPU you won't be able to see the yellow color, otherwise it's not properly connected.
Built my first PC today using this tutorial with no issues! you the man Austin! i cheered with ya at the end
Your 2023 tutorial made me want a pc now I’m saving up thank you
Him: Your doing a great job, pat yourself on the back! Me sitting broke: Uh thanks..
better analogy for motherboard/case size: If you put a small pin into a big hole, it will fit, but it will look weird, but you can't do the opposite.
GREAT video! Just completed my AMD build (7800X3d x 7900GRE) with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2 Motherboard. Man was this comprehensive! Thank you so much for the content!!!!!
I started building PCs because of you, Austin. Thanks for uploading more building tutorials!
