This is the only detailed serious PC Build Guide on the Internet.. As I did not have use for it, i watched it only to know if I can send it to people who ask me how to build their own PC... Thumbs up from me
+Geno Ivanov (FeraL) he spread the thermal paste, he wiggled and applied pressure to the CPU, like pretty much the entire CPU installation was a little bad
I have to agree with many other people here. The video is put together very nicely. You didn't rush the process like some other tutorials, you didn't try and speed up the video at any point i saw, and you defined all the parts and how they work and plugin extremely well. Also you didn't try and lock the camera at one point, or make the viewer follow one specific way of doing something. You stated a few times that there are a few ways to do some of the steps and it depends on the experience and the person and I have to agree. Really i got bored today and decided i would look up some gaming PC builds and also recommendations. I have probably spend at least 6 hours just watching TH-cam. This video in my opinion was the best I have seen so far. I followed this very easily and to be honest, if i try and build a PC I plan on following this video because of how clearly it is demonstrated.
I really appreciate that he took the time to zoom in so we could actually see what he was doing. He also makes slow, calculated movements so you don't have to get a migraine trying to keep up with what's going on. All the other how-to videos I've seen were just some jerk babbling about what to do, while doing it at (what seems like) lighting speed, from an angle where you couldn't see a single blessed thing. Plus he even tells you, albeit briefly, what to do after you start the computer. Pretty cool. While not perfect, this video has been immensely helpful. Thank you!
No I already know how to build a pc I just like watching people build them although I feel like I learn a little more every time I watch someone build them :)
NEVER WIGGLE THE CPU ONCE IN! YOU CAN BREAK THE SMALL GOLD PINS THAT ARE LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CPU AND IN SOME CASES, INSIDE THE ACTUAL CPU ARRAY/SOCKET. IF JUST ONE OF THESE PINS BREAK, YOU CAN'T BEND THEM BACK. YOU HAVE TO BY A NEW CPU. THIS IS A PAIN IN THE ASS IF YOU HAVE MADE THIS MISTAKE WITH A 5th GEN 8 CORE i7 (XEON SERIES) WHICH AVERAGES AT AROUND $1300-$1500. THE ONLY FORCE THAT YOU SHOULD EXERT DURING THE CPU'S INSTILLATION IS WHEN PUSHING THE ARM DOWN AND THEREFOR CLOSING THE LID THAT COVERS THE SOCKET. I AM WRITING IN CAPS SO 1ST TIME BUILDERS WILL READ. YOU'RE WELCOME.
Wow. I'm not going to build a new PC for a while, so I thought I'd get a head start on knowledge, but holy shit, I just became mesmerized in the beauty of PC making. An entire 47 minutes of shit I won't need to know for the remainder of the year, and I somehow found it entertaining.
holy crap this was the most clear and best like how to video ever, so clear and obvious and really makes me feel better, imma be watching this video while i build my pc!
For the past several days I've been researching on how to build my first pc, and I find this the most complete and well explained guide of all I've watched. Congrats!
Thanks a lot! Very useful guide. I have just finished my first PC assembly (bought a PC for grandma) using all of the tips. When PC has started correctly I have almost started to cry. Those were tears of happiness. Feel myself like a god. Thanks a lot!
I just completed my build thanks to this video. Other videos are longer and yet still cant explain certain things that they automatically think people know such as wiring things to the mobo and whatnot. This video was very helpful. The best I have seen.
A lot of pc community don't like to admit it, but building a computer is not cheap as they want you to believe. That because you need to spend money on the *Mid-Tower, the Motherboard, CPU, the CPU Cooler, the Power Supply, HDD, SSD, thermal paste, Air or Liquid Cooler (if your mid tower doesn't have one already), a mouse, keyboard, a operation system* and often even a *monitor, a desk (if you do not have one on your own, a office chair or any other chair, the screwdriver* and *speakers*. If you build yourself, you'll have to buy those things separately, and the price can add up fast.
Also building a computer can be difficult and stressful because there are a thousand things that could go wrong, and any one of them could wind up costing hundreds of dollars. Which mean you need to do a lot of research on each part to know which mean *HOMEWORK*! So, there is a lot of thing that pc builders never told you which in my view is a very disrespect on any community.
+linkzellda If you have a monitor most of the time you dont need speakers if you dont have screwdrivers well i dont know what you do in your life most houses have one, chairs? just get 1 in your house (or you dont have chairs either?) you dont need a cpu cooler unless you are overclocking your cpu you also dont need an ssd or thermal paste, all in all you can make a better pc with the money that a console cost and if you dont want to do your homework then pc is not for you is that simple.
If you want to learn how to build a computer, this video is literally the most perfect thing ever. It helped me build my first computer and sparked my interest with computers in general! Thank you so much, amazing video!
Very helpful, I used this video the whole time and paused frequently, you did not confuse me at once. Very happy with this production and my new gaming pc :DDD
Would just like to say, this has saved my life in terms of building my custom gaming rig (I'm upgrading an old computer and when I looked inside it just looked like a mutated jigsaw puzzle) so definitely give this a watch; it may be a bit long but look at some of the other PC building videos on the right and you will see that this is pretty condensed.
So after you wipe the CPU and heatsink down with rubbing alcohol... do you just leave it there? Let it dry? Go at it wet? Wipe it off with a paper towel?
***** I find that on AMD, wiggling is bad. Very bad, bent a couple of bins doing that on AMD cpus. But on intel I've yet to bend pins due to the wiggling.
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen. I'm building my £3,600 PC tomorrow so this video cleared up one or two naggling questions I was asking myself! Thanks for the great vid!
I've watched a few other videos, and this one is the most accessible for newbies such as myself. Good camera work, easy-to-follow instructions, great explanations. Thanks so much!
does a AMD a-series processor come with a stock cooler with re-applied thermal paste? Im planning on starting to buy computer parts to start building a gaming pc, so i need some help with this processor stuff. (Im new to this)
You have to just do it. If something is wrong then something is wrong you will never know until you turn it on. Chances are you probably won't do any serious damage.
Buildpucipuci02 no bro it is easy as fk belive me now i am tying this to u on my pc i build a pc and i am only 16 just hold from edegs and dont touch the pins then set it on the mother board u will feel its ok then lock it there thats all :D
To be honest ive gotten to quite like windows 8. At first I wasn't so sure but it has a ton more features and a whole new store. Its amazing if I do say so myself.
I love this channel too much! It inspired me a lot so that now I have lauched my own vlog channel. Prior, it shows me as the "talent programmer" I am(I can do the work of 5 devs), how small stuff could become very big in terms of tech business ideas. And Now still being inspared.

Wow! This deserves more views! This greatly increased my knowledge about computers and has helped first time builders like me to understand what every parts is and where it goes inside the computer.
Thanks for the video. This was the first I watched on building a PC. Gave me the confidence to do it and completed first ever build successfully with my son today so thanks again
As good and helpful as this video is, and it is!, I find the guys voice EXTREMELEY irritating!, jeeeees, get a bit of gumption will ya, you boring me to death man!
i have seen a lot of PC building videos but this is the best one everything is shown in detail its a perfect Pc building video awsome guys thank you for the video..............
+Derpy Gamer I don't think it really matters how long the video was made, because I don't think Len was trying to talk to the channel....but tell people watching the same video today and the days to come, to not do this....PEA TECK KNEEEC!
Derpy Gamer And? People are still watching this video, and reading these comments to this very day. If you can't deal with me commenting on something that was last active from like a month, then TH-cam isn't for you.
i feel this guide is very useful as i just bought parts for my custom computer and received some of it and sorta preparation for when i get the rest of the parts.
I saw research that agree's with you... spreading leaves and uneven finish and as such air gets trapped as micro bubbles which gives you less contact area. The best way was actually to use a small x shape using the same amount as the pea shape. This gave the best distribution across the chip and like the pea eliminates the possibility of trapped air.
Thanks to this video I was able to build my very first pc today with no problems :DDD A very good guide that covers everything you need to know, ill definitely recommend to others thanks!
Just completed my first complete build thanks to this video. Best one out there and I had previewed a ton. Sound, production and perfect level of detail without being overwhelming. The first build went perfect! Not one issue, although I could have done a better job on right panel organization. Thanks!
This was really helpful, i'm building a new Gaming rig, and i haven't built one before.I was going to get an AMD processor with an intel motherboard. Saved me from having to return the processor.
Yes. Almost if not all normal cases can take 3.5" HDDs. I wouldn't go for that case personally because it looks a little cramped inside but if you're ok with that then go for it; it looks pretty sweet and has good cooling.
Spreading the thermal paste is not necessary and often leads to higher CPU temperatures because there can be air bubbles between the CPU and the cooler. The easiest and best way to do it is the pea-, line- or x-application. Don't use too much thermal grease. A little pea in the middle is enough. Like he said in the video. The pressure of the colling unit will do the spreading for you and the heat sink is actually 2 or 3 times bigger than the actual CPU inside. That's why it's not necessary to spread the thermal paste to cover the complete heat sink. There are many videos on youtube. Just search for "thermal paste" and click onto the first This is a great video. These new cases are just so much better. My old NZXT Apollo doesn't even have a hole in the back, so I replacing the cooler with a different one would require removing the board... I thought about cutting a hole in there myself, but I am not going to replace any parts in the near future and if I will build a new PC one day, I'm just going to buy a new case. That's no fun, it's really annoying and I really recommend buying a case with cable management and a hole in the back which is big enough to provide an easy access like the case in the video. It makes thing much much MUCH easier.
Nice video! Now I'm excited about putting a pc together. I'm still slightly on the fence about simply buying a Digitalstorm pc, but I realize that if I buy all the parts and build a pc myself, it'll have way better parts, for less.
A good Note for the Intel Socket.. the little black Plastic guard over the CPU socket can be left on. When you install the CPU and then proceed to close the black plastic guard will just pop right off. :D
Very, very nice video, this answers a lot of questions beginning PC builders might have. This would've helped me the first time I built a PC completely from scratch, a few years ago! Nice filming and narrating, this must've taken a lot of time to make. BTW, I didn't realize BIOSes have improved so much since a few years back; full color, mouse support and all!
no it goes into the pci slots on your mobo, some can be plugged into your usb port but i dont want that the be taking up space, i know it plugs into one of the pci slots where next to the graphics card would go
I cannot thank you enough for this well made tutorial. You explain everything perfectly. This will save me alot of money as i will be building the PC for myself. :D
Depends on that, if the heatsink or a liquid cooler have it installed before, but if it doesn't then yes you have to do that. Avoiding attaching thermal compound will end up frying your cpu and may damage the cpu or motherboard pernamently. (I suggest you to put it on the CPU)
Sometimes it will say on the card itself but otherwise you can go in Steam, go to the "Help" tab, then to system information. Scroll down and under the section titled "Video Card" your video card should be the first thing listed.

But he did several things wrong
like what? its still a good guide
+Geno Ivanov (FeraL) he spread the thermal paste, he wiggled and applied pressure to the CPU, like pretty much the entire CPU installation was a little bad
MrFiggets AMD requires a bit of pressure(just to hold it in place), intel does not require pressure, and he did not apply pressure to the intel one :)
+Geno Ivanov (FeraL) I've installed AMD CPUs without applying pressure and it works fine.
I have to agree with many other people here. The video is put together very nicely. You didn't rush the process like some other tutorials, you didn't try and speed up the video at any point i saw, and you defined all the parts and how they work and plugin extremely well.

In three or four weeks I'm gonna build my first PC.
Nice :) good luck
johnathan young Great! Hope you enjoy it like I did!
Do you know any mobo that supports intel 1150 and 3,4 way crossfire/sli ?
One of the best in depth and calmly voiced guides I've heard, all straight to the point. Thank you for this!

This is the most perfect guide I have ever seen on youtube.
detailed information,HD,High quality sound.Just perfect.
Wow. I'm not going to build a new PC for a while, so I thought I'd get a head start on knowledge, but holy shit, I just became mesmerized in the beauty of PC making. An entire 47 minutes of shit I won't need to know for the remainder of the year, and I somehow found it entertaining.

Lol same thing
Well it's not 47 minutes of shit but I see what you are trying to say.
Hounoru same
This is the best guide of build and configure a PC of TH-cam!

You are the bob Ross of TH-cam pc building. Big ups! :)
This is by far the most useful guide for building a PC I have ever seen on the Internet. 10/10 any day.
awesome video! this is the best i have seen yet. And you have a quality voice!
I just completed my build thanks to this video. Other videos are longer and yet still cant explain certain things that they automatically think people know such as wiring things to the mobo and whatnot.
This video was very helpful. The best I have seen.
How? He did several things you aren't supposed to do
I build my pcs completely naked, so I don't have to worry about static coming from my clothes.
Well okay then, good for you...
Been watching pc building videos for a few weeks now, but this one is the absolutely best.
Thanks. Very clear video!
There are newer videos but this is still my go to guide for new builders. Great work

Altaris01 Key word *If you have a monitor, chair and speakers*
Also read the post with more carefully before tried to point the obvious here.
+linkzellda You could always plug in your tv and sit on the floor
lisa lavergne That if you find the floor comfortable.
If you want to learn how to build a computer, this video is literally the most perfect thing ever. It helped me build my first computer and sparked my interest with computers in general! Thank you so much, amazing video!
set the speed to 1.25
1.5 even
I wish I could do that on mobile.
Very helpful, I used this video the whole time and paused frequently, you did not confuse me at once. Very happy with this production and my new gaming pc :DDD
I am watching this before bed, his voice is so soothing
mentalfloss.com/article/61552/what-vocal-fry
Would just like to say, this has saved my life in terms of building my custom gaming rig (I'm upgrading an old computer and when I looked inside it just looked like a mutated jigsaw puzzle) so definitely give this a watch; it may be a bit long but look at some of the other PC building videos on the right and you will see that this is pretty condensed.
So after you wipe the CPU and heatsink down with rubbing alcohol... do you just leave it there? Let it dry? Go at it wet? Wipe it off with a paper towel?
It dries fairly quickly on its own since its alcohol.
dry it well with lint free dries fast
(insert innuendo here)
0 idea about what to expect when building my new pc.
Now it is much clearer, what to do, install, connect and so on.
Thanks for this great guide!
I could fall asleep to this voice xD
Me too. LOL
i did...
Isnt his voice so soothing
I used your video as a tutorial for my build and after 3 hours it works perfectly! Thank you!
DON'T wiggle the cpu once its in.. jesus christ
its to check if its seated well
***** which is why you do it gently
***** I find that on AMD, wiggling is bad. Very bad, bent a couple of bins doing that on AMD cpus. But on intel I've yet to bend pins due to the wiggling.
lol
pcgaming today You'll ruin the pins that way.
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen. I'm building my £3,600 PC tomorrow so this video cleared up one or two naggling questions I was asking myself! Thanks for the great vid!
Great video, but the monotony nearly killed me.
Like seriously.
Sounded okay to me.
I've watched a few other videos, and this one is the most accessible for newbies such as myself. Good camera work, easy-to-follow instructions, great explanations. Thanks so much!
DO NOT take the processor cap off. Leave it on until the procesor is in place
+Len Ismyname THAT IS CORRECT!Thank you. I have processor cap ocd.
i am good and awsome god you need professional help with that that's how me Mum died
Well done tutorial, every thing was explained with little detail left out 10/10
actually the first thing u should install is chrome ;)
yeah the only good thing internet explorer is for is installing chrome
joseph red I have Chrome installer on a thumb drive.
the first thing you should install is windows
X/2 Not everyone wants to use Windows m8
Topias Salakka Same goes with chrome
This is a very helpful video, this is the first video I have seen from you, subbed
do you need to apply thermal paste on to the processor, or can you just install the fan without it?
ya you do or you'll get problems with overheating
most if not all stock and and 3rd party coolers come with thermal paste re-applied, oh and yeah you need it or the cpu will overheat.
does a AMD a-series processor come with a stock cooler with re-applied thermal paste? Im planning on starting to buy computer parts to start building a gaming pc, so i need some help with this processor stuff. (Im new to this)
Josh Clark yes all current CPU's come with stock coolers with pre-applied thermal unless it's something in the lines of A FX-9590.
Thank you!
I already build my first PC but still I love to watch these videos. Nice Video! Thank you
im scared to turn my pc on >_>
You have to just do it. If something is wrong then something is wrong you will never know until you turn it on. Chances are you probably won't do any serious damage.
Sebastian Lopez how did it go
Sebastian Lopez did u go boom
nope. All good,
I had trouble at first (there was no screen display) but i fixed it lol
This guide has been 1 of the best i have watched!
Bery informative in only 45 minutes.
Guy was easy to understand and very clear.
Thank you very much!
But he was wrong in several places
Your not really supposed to apply a lot of pressure when installing the cpu
Wow! This guy makes all newbies
(including myself) life so easy! Thanks TTRV!
guys should i build a pc or byuy one i am worried if i build a pc that wont work :(
help me out please
Build it, don't worry just read the manuals and watch some videos and you'll be fine.
!?Bailey!? i already build it it was easy as sht :D
thnx btw
+singh anmol I'm afraid at the cpu part. I don't want to break it
Buildpucipuci02 no bro it is easy as fk belive me now i am tying this to u on my pc
i build a pc and i am only 16
just hold from edegs and dont touch the pins then set it on the mother board u will feel its ok then lock it there thats all :D
singh anmol
:D
This is, by far. the best PC build video out there!!! Thank you for such a straight forward approach.
What sane person would install windows 8 willingly? It's horrible.
To be honest ive gotten to quite like windows 8. At first I wasn't so sure but it has a ton more features and a whole new store. Its amazing if I do say so myself.
There are advantages to windows 8 even if you don't like it
it uses less resources for better multitasking
go home windows 8, you're drunk
^funny guy.
I love this channel too much! It inspired me a lot so that now I have lauched my own vlog channel. Prior, it shows me as the "talent programmer" I am(I can do the work of 5 devs), how small stuff could become very big in terms of tech business ideas. And Now still being inspared.

His voice put me too sleep, and then i woke quickly before the murder could take place. Jokes aside, helpful video so thank you Mr Man.
Thanks for the video. This was the first I watched on building a PC. Gave me the confidence to do it and completed first ever build successfully with my son today so thanks again
Does anyone else build their PC's naked?
+dogsRoxXD to reduce static
Yes, good grounding.
dogsRoxXD what skin is that?
dogsRoxXD it's good for grounding yourself less static charge
this is one of the most comprehensive build guides i've seen
BUT HE DID SEVERAL THINGS WRONG
your voice makes me sleepy
it's soothing for a first build
I like it
How could anyone not like this.
First step: Get money
+Wolfenberg that's the problem.
James Wright Same here
+Wolfenberg 2 step get a life
Next step: get the power
Final step: then you get the women
Scarface reference*
+Wolfenberg budgeting is your best friend.
Best guide in explaining so far, Im much more confident in building my own PC now
But I love my 70's era of shag carpet.. dude.
the BEST PC Building VIDEO IN THE WORLD
As good and helpful as this video is, and it is!, I find the guys voice EXTREMELEY irritating!, jeeeees, get a bit of gumption will ya, you boring me to death man!
best guide ive seen yes and yes the voice is soothing and not condescending.kewel jewels
I hate the way this guy makes sounds while he's talking
Jorge Garza
^*/Yeah humans make noises when talking.*^/
Im not talking about his voice
Jorge Garza I understand what you mean. You can hear his tongue sticking to the roof of his mouth. Lots of saliva sounds. Horrible voice for this.
Go look up Austin Evans... His voice pisses me off.
montygram Austin has a TERRIBLE voice for making TH-cam videos IMO.
i have seen a lot of PC building videos but this is the best one everything is shown in detail its a perfect Pc building video awsome guys thank you for the video..............
dont fucking spread the compound like that, it will leave bubbles and shit. use the pea technique
Derpy Gamer dude, pea technique
PEA TECHNIQUE FFS
+Derpy Gamer
I don't think it really matters how long the video was made, because I don't think Len was trying to talk to the channel....but tell people watching the same video today and the days to come, to not do this....PEA TECK KNEEEC!
Derpy Gamer And? People are still watching this video, and reading these comments to this very day.
If you can't deal with me commenting on something that was last active from like a month, then TH-cam isn't for you.
Derpy Gamer Sounds good xD
i feel this guide is very useful as i just bought parts for my custom computer and received some of it and sorta preparation for when i get the rest of the parts.
A very extensive and coherent How to build a PC video even BIOS setup !
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! This is actually the first time i have seen i a build video with cable management thank you good sir.
I saw research that agree's with you... spreading leaves and uneven finish and as such air gets trapped as micro bubbles which gives you less contact area. The best way was actually to use a small x shape using the same amount as the pea shape. This gave the best distribution across the chip and like the pea eliminates the possibility of trapped air.
simply brilliant.....should have more thumbs up and subscribers.i am building my 1st rig and this made things so much easier.....thanks mate
Very good video, im gonna build a pc and this helps me for sure.
No, don't do it he did several things you aren't supposed to do
Best PC BUILDING video PERIOD
Nice job. I just did my own and looks like you have hit all the marks. Nicely done.
Thanks to this video I was able to build my very first pc today with no problems :DDD A very good guide that covers everything you need to know, ill definitely recommend to others thanks!
Just completed my first complete build thanks to this video. Best one out there and I had previewed a ton. Sound, production and perfect level of detail without being overwhelming. The first build went perfect! Not one issue, although I could have done a better job on right panel organization. Thanks!
This was really helpful, i'm building a new Gaming rig, and i haven't built one before.I was going to get an AMD processor with an intel motherboard.
Saved me from having to return the processor.
Thnx for the amazing quality of this video! everything is very clear and clean explained, best pc build video I've ever seen
I'm only a few minutes in and already very impressed. I can send this to people now, instead of trying to walk them through it myself. :)
This video helped me build my first computer perfectly. Thank you very much!
Yes. Almost if not all normal cases can take 3.5" HDDs. I wouldn't go for that case personally because it looks a little cramped inside but if you're ok with that then go for it; it looks pretty sweet and has good cooling.
Spreading the thermal paste is not necessary and often leads to higher CPU temperatures because there can be air bubbles between the CPU and the cooler. The easiest and best way to do it is the pea-, line- or x-application. Don't use too much thermal grease. A little pea in the middle is enough. Like he said in the video. The pressure of the colling unit will do the spreading for you and the heat sink is actually 2 or 3 times bigger than the actual CPU inside. That's why it's not necessary to spread the thermal paste to cover the complete heat sink. There are many videos on youtube. Just search for "thermal paste" and click onto the first
This is a great video. These new cases are just so much better. My old NZXT Apollo doesn't even have a hole in the back, so I replacing the cooler with a different one would require removing the board... I thought about cutting a hole in there myself, but I am not going to replace any parts in the near future and if I will build a new PC one day, I'm just going to buy a new case. That's no fun, it's really annoying and I really recommend buying a case with cable management and a hole in the back which is big enough to provide an easy access like the case in the video. It makes thing much much MUCH easier.
Nice video!
Now I'm excited about putting a pc together. I'm still slightly on the fence about simply buying a Digitalstorm pc, but I realize that if I buy all the parts and build a pc myself, it'll have way better parts, for less.
Best guide I've seen yet.
Same here.
Also good to get extra information about different ways to build computers. =)
I've watched like 150 video. But this video is helped me more then all the 150 together! Thank you verymuch for this awesome video!!
A good Note for the Intel Socket.. the little black Plastic guard over the CPU socket can be left on. When you install the CPU and then proceed to close the black plastic guard will just pop right off. :D
Most do, but thermal paste is fairly cheap and if you are planning on changing out cpu's or coolers, i would keep a tube around
Great guide and very professionally made. You boys are stepping up!
Jeesh! What an incredible amount of amazing detail in this video.
Very, very nice video, this answers a lot of questions beginning PC builders might have. This would've helped me the first time I built a PC completely from scratch, a few years ago!
Nice filming and narrating, this must've taken a lot of time to make.
BTW, I didn't realize BIOSes have improved so much since a few years back; full color, mouse support and all!
no it goes into the pci slots on your mobo, some can be plugged into your usb port but i dont want that the be taking up space, i know it plugs into one of the pci slots where next to the graphics card would go
wow, I'm not alone i learned at 13 and now in 15. it great to know and study. take it all the way don't stop learning about this sort of stuff.
I already knew all of this, but i still watched the video because your voice is somehow relaxing.
Your Video helped me alot to build my own pc .
Thanks :)
I cannot thank you enough for this well made tutorial. You explain everything perfectly. This will save me alot of money as i will be building the PC for myself. :D
Depends on that, if the heatsink or a liquid cooler have it installed before, but if it doesn't then yes you have to do that. Avoiding attaching thermal compound will end up frying your cpu and may damage the cpu or motherboard pernamently. (I suggest you to put it on the CPU)
Probably the best build video
Sometimes it will say on the card itself but otherwise you can go in Steam, go to the "Help" tab, then to system information. Scroll down and under the section titled "Video Card" your video card should be the first thing listed.
