The genuine look of being nervous was plastered all over your mates face. Glad you've converted another person over to the "PC master race" Cheers for the great content!

Building PCs is by far one of the best hobbies I've picked up. Will always have one around. It's really cool to see how rapidly the community is growing. Hopefully he enjoys it!
Expensive “hobby”
@@medi6892 Fr.
you do it for other people i reckon ? Otherwise it's an expensive hobby if you build a pc every other week :D
Yes it's expensive and no, I mainly do things to my personal computer frequently. Changing the routing of my loop and adding components or switching them out. It's a great hobby otherwise and I'd recommend it to anyone. Regardless of cost.
@@Shwadeybabe That's cool! I've build my 3rd pc now and for the first time it's looking like something i'm proud of (not just because of the rbg:)). Now i'm constantly looking for other parts or cables to replace to make it better, so I guess i'm hooked too.
I’d never been into PC’s, but then my buddy influenced me to build one within the span of a few days.
It then took me like 8 hrs to build one, trial and error.
Rather just get a ps5
Not even kidding this helped me understand the components and the whereabouts that each piece needs to be. 10/10 video!
Aw, man. All of the wholesomeness! Great job, guys. Really appreciate the post-assembly Q&A describing expectations vs. reality as I've not built a PC before either. This has reduced some of my trepidation.
Who else watching without a pc?😢
me....
Im watching with a PC just not One for gaming
Me 🙃
I'm thinking about building one, so this might convince me.
I’m watching with 3/4 of a pc
When I was younger, I thought building PCs was extremely complicated and involved many tools. Turns out I was wrong according to the internet. You just buy the components and assemble them. (I have never built one before)
in earlier years it was not as straightforward
You don't just buy components and assemble them, they have to match the case, have room in the case with everything else in it, make sure it is compatible etc, I thought it was fairly easy until I assembled mine.
@@Cam09Sean1 Yeah once you got all that sorted it's just building lego really and then connecting all the wires.
We are all born knowing nothing, only with a curious mind and the help of other people can we learn anything.
Great to see your mate wanting to learn something new, and great to see he has a capable and patient teacher in yourself, you have a new subscriber.
Keep it up!
Building it isn't the hard part. The hard part is figuring out which parts you should or can use. I tried customizing a pc and I had absolutely no idea what motherboards work with what CPUs or things like that.
Seriously. I tried using an r5 5600g with an a320m without bios upgrade, and i also got a 1080ti when I didn’t know much💀
I’m a newbie too. But use pc part picker. It’ll let you know what’s compatible and also what needs to be changed(eg a BIOS upgrade)
ya same with me. i have a good idea on how to build a pc, but dont know which parts go good with each other
and actually learning how they work etc thats for the real tech enthusiasts
this, i just built my first pc and i had to do several weeks of research to figure out what parts I needed and what was compatible, what different terms meant, etc
I just completed my first build! I was so nervous and excited! Took me a few hours but it's running great!
Did you use the video as a guide, and how much did it cost?
@@fromawindow9173 I didn't. I had just built it before this video. But I did watch a few TH-cam videos to learn how. It cost me about $1000 with everything. I could've saved on some parts like the case and power supply.
So just do your research before you spend. You can get some parts in a combo deal.
For any other fellow 1st time builders, you can do it!!! Just got my 1st one done, and not without issues to figure out. But it's all very doable. The main problems I encountered were not fully populating my CPU port on the motherboard (mine had a 4pin and an 8pin) and I figured out my cooling pump was not even contacting my processor so switched some brackets and no more hard shutdowns. Biggest piece of advice, download windows to a USB stick before you finish your build! It took me 5 hours to download lol Happy building guys! And thank you PC Centric. Could not have done my build without you and your awesome, easy to follow content.
Thank you for the windows tip. Just ordered a bunch of parts (my first pc build), and didnt concider that.
@@Uhdksurvhunter It is actually very easy when you look it up and watch a video, this commenter must have done it off memory, figured it out, looked it up and read it, or found a not so good video, I can share a video you would like me to, the long part it the waiting for windows to add to your drive.
gonna build my first pc soon, buying the gpu tomorrow then everything else within the next 8 weeks or so. man im nervous
when i say first pc i mean my first pc build ive got a nitro 5 ive had since 2022
That’s a nice thing to do for a mate. Great vid. I recon I could just about build a pc now after watching many of your videos, just the cables that’d fox me a bit I think.
Yeah cables are fucked
Just do the cables one at a time.
I don't know but the cables was the easiest for me lol
I spent hours watching guide builds and just bit the bullet in the end, my cable management was a mess and it took me probably 3-4 hours in total from start to getting a post with 30minutes of me wondering why it wouldn’t turn on resulting in me finding out my power switch was off on my psu lol but hey you’ve got to learn somehow Iv built a few now and it’s just like Lego now
tiny little connectors suck. a dozen builds for me and they still drive me nuts. like the case connections. lol@@wjsbruwer8206
halfway through this definitely looks a lot easier than i imagined.
it's hilarious seeing how careful he is with the components, reminds me of me at work using tools.
on that point it helps you've used a complete novice to actually do the steps, often experts speed thru without appreciating the sheer lack of knowledge beginners have.
good banter, feels very informative i'll only know if i try to build myself, how much info i've retained and understand.
finally, after spending about 15 mins searching 'how to play games on a laptop' I'm relieved i've found exactly what I was looking for in your channel. happily subscribed
This video is perfect for real. You should do more of these with varying components and specialties with new people! It’d be an awesome series!
And this is why you keep your friends close people! look how grateful he was at the end knowing he could keep the PC... that's what you call a true friendship
I built a pc it was very easy even though i didn't trust myself
I literally just watched every pc building tutorial there is until i MEMORIZED THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF BUILDING A PC
Now i can build a pc without even looking at a tutorial and im begginer
After watching this video, I feel confident enough to build my own PC instead of paying $3,000 plus for a prebuilt.
I enjoyed watching this video and I understand when he says it was simple to put together which I believe it probably is especially as everything supposedly fits together however the biggest difficulty is actually choose in things that will work with each other that’s what’s giving me the biggest headache I have so many questions about all things all standardised how do so many different companies make things for all the different cases but all still fit I don’t want to make any error in my choices
Thanks to PC Centric and others, after months of watching numerous videos last weekend I purchased the parts to build a new PC. Though have installed memory and graphics cards previously this was a step up by doing CPU, cooler, motherboard and power supply
Absolutely stellar video. So much help for someone trying to build a PC for the first time in a long time.
"The amount of arguments we had over James Bond GoldenEye" instantly makes me love Marcus!
I built my first pc a couple days ago took me about 2 hours and I was chillin the whole time had to flash the bios and all I’m proud of myself
Nice build! I was going to buy a high end Gaming PC, then I broke my sister's smart tv. Instead of buying my new Gaming PC, I bought my sister her new smart Tv. Now I have to wait for a year to buy a Gaming pc. Now I can't give my self a Gift this upcoming Christmas. 😔
This was so helpful and wholesome. We need more people joining the PC master rase.
this honestly built my confidence. im pretty confident now i can build one now
American here who appreciates you explaining "curbie" because I thought you meant Kirby the pink marshmallow Nintendo character. Initially, I was like, "Of course we know who Kirby is." Thank you for teaching me something cultural in addition to the great how-to videos! Cheers, guys!
Im building my first gaming pc soon just waiting for my parts to all arrive, seeing his excitement and it looked genuine has me even more excited!
Building my first pc today. Firstly this video is very lovely at the end, very genuine. Secondly it has given me some confidence before I start. Liked. 👍
Both my kids are gamers and during a weekend of taking one apart I realised I have no clue what language they are speaking. I'm here to learn oh wise one. Thank you
You should bring this guy on the channel more
Your mate has taken his first step into a bigger world and there is no going back :)
Welcome to the pc master race. I started with a gaming laptop. Please don't kill me lol. I didn't know any better. I will be building a gaming later on.
It's not just building a pc
The whole moment was wholesome to watch!
Assembling a PC is easy. Making a complimentary system without unnecessary bottlenecks takes some expertise. Hiding every single cable and even making AIO tubing disappear is an art.
Great job explaining the how to of building a pc from start to finish! It really makes sense now in putting it all together
My (at the time) 48 year old mother built her office PC mostly on her own. Same as you did i told her where to put things and she did it, she even knew that something was wrong when the put the RAM in the wrong way round.
Great video. I will be building my 1st gaming pc. It gives me confidence. but still nervous I might plug those cables in the wrong slot. It looks easier in this video since PC centric is assisting that guy
Most cables are keyed, meaning they can not be plugged into an incorrect port.
Wholesomeness overload at the end. Made my day better
I just love this. I almost cried at the end.
Your friend made out good, good for him. I've had a 6800xt/5900x for a year now at 1440p which is how I play it's fantastic. It'll blow his mind with competitive games since he's coming from console.
This video may be one of the most wholesome things I've ever watched
Sub'd because you gave your friend a computer. Showed up for knowledge. I was satisfied with this overall.
Thank you PC Centric for your time and effort for making these videos! Because of this, I’ll be able to be more confident in going to a shop and pick out parts knowing I could do this myself for the first time!
Loved this video. by far my favorite one from you PC Centric. What a great awkward dynamic you and your friend have.
Hope to see another collab between the two of you again soon!
good man you and your mate ryan are true friends can't believe you convinced them to let him keep the PC.
True Friend Good job
ive been looking everywhere for a video like this, been using console since 2013 and my mate recently said my aim in fps games like Apex Legends and Halo was horrible. Also, assuming this gear is good, ill be getting everything in the vid asap and following is step-by-step!
Anyways, thanks for the amazing content!
Thank you Asus, that was awesome to give it to his mate.
lol your friend is so genuine about everything, glad he was able to keep it in the end!
The joy of building your pc
Loved this video. I havnt built a computer for 17 yrs. I see now no more 2.5 hard drives inside.
just finished building my 1st gaming pc. I wish i had tried it sooner. I think people just see all the hardware and get inside their head thinking they could not possibly configure all that together and it becomes overwhelming for them. I was one of those people super nervous and Im not going to lie I ended up purchasing a gaming laptop first about a year ago bc I could not get myself to the point of being able to build my own pc but I eventually got all that junk out of my head and made myself believe i could do it. I watched a ton of YT videos and finally got the confidence to do it! That was awesome of you to give your buddy that PC you could tell he was stoked about it! keep up the good content dude!
This is exactly how I want to build my Pc!! With you standing beside me .. :)
This makes me feel so much better going into my pc build and HIS FACE when you told him he could keep it:)
The krutzegast posters in the background are a nice touch.
I feel their bond ❤
I’m building my first PC in a couple weeks, I’m so excited but definitely a little nervous
And this my friends! is how you convert your console friends into pc players 😁 jokes aside, you guys did a really good job!
I have watched this video around 30 times and was able to have the confidence to build my husband's and my gaming PCs. Thank you for making this video!!
OMG i love Marcus's friend!! he's so genuine
I just completed my first build with the help yours videos
That is an AWESOME first gaming pc. Like, what I want my next build to be after being on a pc.. since I was 6. And I AM 34.
F*CK, that is what I want my next pc to look like! haha.
That case is stunning, wish I had the money for one
I love the Kurzgesagt posters; absolutely love their videos and yours!
ive watched your tutorials on how to build a gaming pc and it gave me so much confidence! When i built my pc, it looked absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for your help Pc Centric!
Looks like a nice PC 🔥
I love the tone of your videos - as technical as anyone could ask for but remaining light-hearted and amusing all the while. Great video buddy.
I would love more videos with this gem of a guy
That was really helpful and you make amazing content.
I Love all your videos and there's a humour which makes it even more interesting.
Thanks for this I was sitting on the fence a long time about building my first pc
This video, did nothing but make me smile and laugh 👍🏻 two lads building a computer and enjoying it after, great video.
That's awesome that he went from so nervous to so excited and was able to keep everything in the end. Great job and thanks to Asus for the gift
I bought a pc with 500 gb and bought a new m.2 ssd and it FELT SO COOL THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKed AND INSTALLIn G IT even tho it's so simple I'm new to the pc world and it's cool
I much prefer the AIO setup to be for exhaust whether top or side/front mounted. It doesn’t make much sense to have hot air drawn into the case. Especially in setups that have additional fans drawing in air from the bottom, front or other side panel. Great build & excellent instructions!
This is one my favorite videos I've seen on this channel!
Had to drop a like that was so genuine of you and amd. Truly amazing
love the Kurzgesagt posters!
After console gaming for my whole life my brother is building a me a pc and I’m really excited the budget is 2000$ so it should be good and I’m just here to learn whatever I can about pc
I get to build a pc with my dad when I’m 13! So exited
His reaction at the end is still priceless.
I'm starting to get frustrated by the fact that I still can't get a gpu at msrp value bro otherwise I would've already finished my build so long ago :(
I dont even know where to start with a build 😔
Go to micro center
@@isaacgarcia206 Assuming they are in the US of course
same here. finished my build back in May except for the card I want because of the ridiculous price. So I went for a 1060 6gb that's already used for mining for just 138.00 USD from a friend. It's almost dying though with temps going up to 90c even when undervolted and fans at 100%.
I'm hoping to finally snag a 3060 ti or a 3070 before christmas now that the prices are somewhat lower than like 5 or 6 months ago. Fingers crossed!
@@gamax4254 Finally got an Asus Dual 3060 Ti OC! Got it for USD 800 though :( but oh well I believe here in my country the msrp for it would've been USD 500-600.
Other than that, I'm really happy with it! I can finally play RDR2 on ultra 1080p and constant 60fps!
I really like your friend 😊 I'm building my gaming PC in a few days and even I know a little bit more than him, I'm sure I'll be as nervous as he was and I really hope mine turns as good as that one! Awesome job! 🤗
Gonna build my own PC in 2 months! As a beginner. Wish me lucc
Sooo you’re definitely making me think I can build my own after watching a couple of your videos 😅😅😅
Hornet story is quite relatable. A was almost hit by a car when goose chased me
I just built my first computer with the help of my boyfriend I think I did 80% on my own but I didn't need his help. I actually watched your video on steps by step how to build a PC as well as a couple of others there's two give me enough knowledge to know what I was doing and they definitely help so I've learned a lot and I'm still learning which is why I like this video because you're taking it step by step for someone who's a very beginner and explaining things to help understand which is great because I definitely need that help.
This is a really great video dude! I've been looking into getting a PC for a while now and have been watching a lot of your videos and this video is consolidating what i have learnt and it answering any questions i have. So again great video, i love the content and keep it coming boyo 😁
I wish you would do one of these series with me bro! Really wanna build my first gaming PC 😛
Just recently built my first gaming pc, I previously had a 1030 and i5-4590 and ddr3 build LMAO. My new build is an i5-10600k and 3060 16GB of ddr4 ram, it made all the difference in the world. Also it was not as complicated as I thought it was gonna be, the most hardest and complicated part was cable management and where everything plugged into on the motherboard, which is easy once you pull out your motherboard manual. I am looking forward to the next time I get to build another pc :)
I'm in the process of building one now. But I still need few more components to start building. I can't wait
Love the videos, very educational.. making it much easier for me to get started, thank you man! 😊
Damn giving back to an old friend an amazing gaming PC is priceless!
Thats a top gaming build for 650W PSU I didnt know that build could get away with 650 I thought I would need at least 750
For my birthday I wanted a pc, and I found a case that was 40 dollars and I also thought it was an entire pc but then my mom pointed out that it wasn't, and everyone laughed, and I have never heard the end of it.
I appreciate this video so much it will be a year or so before I build a pc but I added all the items into a Amazon list and I’ll be slowly ordering them when I get the cash. Thank you for this video I thought Pc had a lot more components and I was scared I would miss something and waist thousands of dollars but this shows me so much thank you!🙏
My suggestion is to buy all of your parts at once. The reason is if you only buy 1 part a time and wait a long time to buy the next part, you may not be able to test them. If you're past your return period, it can be difficult and/or annoying to work with RMA departments if you find that a component isn't work correctly. Its your build and money, you decide how and when you buy it, but I would buy the parts at once or within a few weeks of each other.
aww so sweet, but massively helpful cant wait to build my own.
Boy was inspecting the case at 10:47 had me dying of laughter building pc’s is slight work for this guy
Wow, this is probably the most informative video for dummies I have ever seen. I am a dummy at PCs so I definitely buying these parts to and following it step by step. Thanks.
This is awesome man.. really is thanks for sharing! Building my first PC soon I've ordered all the parts and can't wait to put it all together!
So wholesome! Loved the entire video !
Very humble :) . Enjoy the pc looks awesome!
