Not gonna lie I was scared of this, you hear about spending 200-300 on a pc to play games at "low/medium" and it sounds like you'll be playing a fortnite mobile-esque graphically deficient game but in reality games on pc with 1080p medium or low qualitys tend to be pretty similar to standard console graphics
This video is really misleading, all you need a is a racer gaming chair, astro 500's, and everything RGB. it adds horsepo..i mean higher clockspeeds to your hon...gaming setup
I used to wipe the floor with people in BF3 on PS3. Been playing on PC for around 4 months now, mostly third person games. Gave BF3 a shot and holy crap am I awful. Got a LOOONNNGG ways to go before I'm even decent. Sad that there aren't a lot of servers up and running for it anymore.
You're probably not shit, it's just that the people still playing bf3 on pc probably do so regularly and are therefore shit hot. BF3 is very twitchy so you might find it helps to play with high FOV and higher mouse sensitivity. Don't play over wifi and definitely wear headphones. The AEK is king.
step 1. buy good pc parts 2. wait for it to come 3. watch a "how to build a gaming pc" 4. forget to turn one screw at your cpu cooler and fry your pc👌🏻
coming from a console gamer i built my first pc myself about 4 5 months ago , i did a ton of research and lots of youtube videos on how to build , eventually i started buying components bit by bit and in the end spend about £6-700 and with that i had a quite beefy computer , m.2 ssd boot drive, 240aio cooler , ryzen 5 1600 , 2tb hdd, gtx 1060 3gb 16gb ddr4 ram , ab350 mobo, it handles the games i play so much better than console , the smoothness and just better visuals far outmatch console and thats with a mediocre graphics card, you dont need thousands to get into it , just do your research and price snipe components, especially gpu’s , it was very fun building it and it did look. quite nice in the nzxt case , its really fun building and you get the satisfaction of knowing you built it definitely worth building
As a long time, ex-console gamer, there is a learning curve but once you switch to PC you'll feel better about getting more for your money and accessing more games. You'll be frustrated at times but you'll also learn a LOT about how computers work. Plus, it's really nice to have a good, fast PC to just browse the web and enjoy TH-cam. It's one of those things you have to see and experience for yourself but 100% worth it. Pro tip: If you are planning a build, wait for Black Friday and you'll save a TON of money.
I bought a Razer keypad since the keys were linear but recently just went to a keyboard. I don't recommend keypads and now see that as waste of time. I recommend using default key maps for the most part as changing them up for each game just becomes tedious. For mouse sensitivity, lower DPI (I play PUBG in 800 DPI) is better and adjust in-game sensitivity as needed. Same goes for Battlefield or games like Overwatch. The mouse I have (Corsair M65 Pro) has a sniper button on the side which is good for headshots when sniping. Probably the most important thing that helped me a lot was getting a good chair and practicing good posture. Lining up your peripherals just right and making sure you keep your elbows on your desk. You can also get some ergonomic elbow rests for better range of motion if needed.
I started PC gaming when BF3 came out in 2011. The difference is night and day, but honestly the only reason I switched was because of the stupid online fees console have. I used to think PCs had worse graphics before I got into it for some odd reason.
That is the problem still, i once was a console peasant, i used to think how much greater a console was when they aren't and i hate myself for thinking that
DatGrunt yeah if you do the math, buying a new console and paying for the online fee on it every 5 years is about the same price as buying a mid tier pc every 5 years except on pc there are generally more sales so pc gaming can actually be cheaper
Thank you for having gameplay geared towards what you’re talking about instead of just your face talking to me. Keeps me Interested in what your saying
I really reccomend building your own PC, it only takes a few hours of contemplating whether to make an Intel or AMD style build only to then come to the realization that you still know jack shit about the components while erratically researching core processors, graphics cards, cooling systems, sound chips and power supplies with weird alien names from Area 51, like some tech support student. Aside from that it only takes another few hours of self deprivation, hopelessly clasping on to your sanity, a child sacrifice, a vintage fashion magazine from the 1980s and other various forms of masochism all while hopelessly contemplating whether or not it would have just been better to get a pre-built PC, and after you are done, you will only contemplate your life choices for the next hour as you wait for you PC to do about 5 million updates and just hope that those components that just violated your bank account actually work together. No stress at all really, i'm definitely not a sadistic bastard. It is cheaper though.
I know I’m very late and I partly agree with this. I think you should take advantage of someone else who was already built their pc and are selling it on the Facebook marketplace or apps such as OfferUp,letgo, or craigslist. This way you won’t have to worry about putting your pic together and there’s usually 200 bucks less than what you would’ve payed if you would’ve built it yourself
i did it because it would be probably the last time that i had to catch up to the current info, i worked with them for years, it made me think i should've studied the human body - no upgrades in the last few decades there. At the end i figured i was close to the bullseye on the m.b., cpu, ram choices in the $400 cpu class. Do it as a challenge to yourself - learning the good comparison websites, and such like this, before you spend.
tbh i think building it yourself can be more expensive because you need to get the parts yourself and some of the parts are more expensive than it should be
I prefer pc gaming but I just have zero friends that use that platform. Something to consider if you’re a person that prefers to play with their buddies
Love the insight and knowledge man, this has really helped me to start building my own personal computer because as a Game Designer student at Full Sail University I am always creating and playing different types of games.
Built mine over a 6 month period. Saving for parts etc. Really enjoyed the whole process, learned a lot about computing throughout. Not to mention that this beast will max out whatever I want in 1440p 100+ frames. The difference is considerable I have to say. Not just from a graphical stand point but also the functionality of having a work desktop and an entire entertainment system at my finger tips. GG
Don't forget your power supply! Buying one that's too weak may result in a slower computer and it shutting down randomly. I have a 350w power supply for a 500 euro pc, which barely works (it shuts down sometimes) if you're looking to buy a 600-800 euro pc I recommend getting something of 500 watts
Erik Smit if you put your parts into pc part picker you can see how many watts your build uses and you should get a power supply that has about double what your build needs
I wouldn't get double your needs. I'd get about 1/4 to 2/5ths more than you need. PSUs have a sweet spot and if you buy higher watt PSUs then you're just spending more money with no added efficiency or stability.
You seem like you know what you are talking about. I have a question for you, I’m looking to buy a gaming pc but my budget is 1,400$, is that high enough to be able to get a prebuilt pc that is capable of running new games with full setting and good FPS? Thank you.
Bart Man PC Building is easier than most think. You could get a prebuilt, but you will get better performance with a custom one. Check out the folks at r/buildapc, they're really patient and helpful, they'll answer any of your pc questions
Brett Whitney there’s also a pc master race sub reddit, and jackfrags has an amazing little streaming community over on twitch. If you have any questions or even want someone with great experience to build you a pc just ask in chat the next he streams, or go on the sub reddit
@@Hitajdonahelai build one. im 15 and i just got done building mine- mine is just a 700 dollar gaming set up besides the other small accessories. its quite simple
I really suggest building your own PC. The process of building only takes an hour or two and 3 hours of research should be enough to find the right parts. The only thing system builders provide that will be beneficial is tech support and pro cable management. Everything else you can do yourself just fine.
system builders also provide warranty including compatibiilty. For some people that's worth paying more than the sum of the parts, cause they don't want to deal with crashes/weird glitches cause sometimes components simply do not play together even if they are meant to
That's actually debatable right now. Yes usually building is the way to go, but with price hikes in different components now, using a builder like NZXT might be cheaper as they base their prices of the component's MSRP, not the current average sale price. Right now you might be still good building due to the recent drop in GPU prices but that won't be the case for long (also the reason why you should go ahead an upgrade your GPU now if you're looking to upgrade, not wait). Reason is the price drop is because everyone's waiting on the new NVidia GPUs, gamers and miners alike. Therefore current GPU demand has dropped and with it, prices too. But when the new GPUs launch, they will be sold out within minutes, and if you waited and weren't able to buy one of the new GPUs when they drop, you'll go to get an 10-series GPU, only that's what everyone weren't able to get an 11-series GPU (miners and gamers) will do, and thus the prices for both 11-series and 10-series cards will skyrocket. So once the new GPUs drop, you best bet is going with a builder like NZXT.
Dylan Douglas I work in a manufacturer’s and build each part. Once every piece was hand crafted (as I find the I have much better precision with my hands than the lonely peasants who buy their parts). Once the pieces were crafted I assembled it with the up most delicacy ✨
I bought a customised PC from Cyberpower UK and it is amazing first PC, they did an amazing job wiring it, clean and no mistakes Got myself a 4K system. Runs 4K Ultra at a comfortable 60 for big games and smaller games 4k 144. They installed all my drives and windows on fastest drive and even gave me a spare cable for every single cable in the PC in case I need it.
Hey, so I’ve watched this video months ago and I just recently started setting up my computer and tomorrow It’s getting fully setup. Thank you for this and it’s helped a lot.
@@blockbusterantarctica5192 It's useful If you are very careful. If you don't stand on carpet with socks on while building you will *probably* be fine.
Build one yourself dude! I built one by myself for the first time a few months ago. Took the whole day, but everything went smoothly and I felt great being able to put it together. It's also a little cheaper.
- Simple - that’s great dude! And you don’t have to build one if you don’t want as a pre built is the better choice sometimes but do keep in mind that you will learn a lot more about your pc if you build it yourself. You will also be able to upgrade easier if you build t yourself. Just do a lot of research on the parts you choose.
Qrow Branwen gaming laptops mostly suffers from poor cooling and overheats more easily, sure they have been getting better but they are also more expensive majority of the cases. Of course if you're moving alot then laptops is a good choice. Plus it's harder or mostly impossible to fix a laptop yourself if something brake cause how they are built and if you try then you will ruin the warranty of it and it will be very expensive to fix if you turn it in. I would say go for a custom build or even a pre built but do research on parts and bulds that you want before buying, i would only recommend laptops if you're someone who always are on the move and needs something for that.
Laptops trade power, price, and cooling for the convenience of being able to carry them around. Plus when your laptop breaks or you want to upgrade, you'll need to buy a new one. A desktop can be upgraded piece by piece.
This video is way more helpful than all the others, you actually talk about the parts and what the hell they are. I had really been struggling to get into this cause of all the complicated terms. Thank you.
another way to get your bearings at first is to go to a reputable tech forum and ask for advice based on your budget. the more experienced there will also ask a few questions about the intended use of the PC like what games you plan to play or what else besides gaming you plan to do with it (i.e video or sound editing) and will suggest parts that fit your needs and are as close to your budget as possible.
Someone suggested to me is to watch computer build videos for my first computer. They provide the hardware list and a step by step visual instruction set. Often a second performance video will follow. I went that route. Thanks for the tips! I had no clue what to look for in a monitor.
JUST DO IT. At first I actually couldn’t believe I bought the parts for my build. But once I did, I was really excited because I’ve been wanting to switch to pc for two years. It took me a couple weeks to get it together with the parts shortage. But I did it and even started using mouse and keyboard. BEST DECISION IVE EVER MADE FOR MY GAMING EXPERIENCE.
AMD has released some really great APUs recently. If things like CS:GO and Rocket League are what you're after, they'll do fine as both the CPU and GPU. Just keep in mind productivity may suffer a bit for non-gaming purposes due to the fact the CPU part of the APU is only 2 core, 4 thread on all the ones I've seen. The AMD Athlon G200 is one such APU, it's $50 right now.
I’m gonna be honest with you, just got into PC gaming a month ago with a GTX 950 and a X4 860K. I’m never going back from 60 FPS. I can play all the games I want. For cheaper. I can play them at higher settings. I’m just surprised I waited so long to make the switch. Thank you. A lot of people in this community are GREAT. I can’t say enough good things. -mrfuzzyball
I built one with the help of an experienced friend. And god did I need it. The backplate wasn't properly attached to the motherboard. Meaning we had to melt the thermal paste. Take the cooling unit off and painstakingly clean off the thermal paste. Then put it back on. Then it took us an hour to figure out a screw was short-circuiting the PSU. But now it's all up and running I'm really enjoying it.
This coincidence is astronomical in chance... I started looking into building my own pc for the first time *today* and good ol' Charlie pops up on my bell. (Got sick of ps4)
Great Video and I would advise anyone wanting to get into PC Gaming to build their own. The cost savings and level of hardware you can choose in a self built system will more than justify anytime you end up spending learning how to and then building your system. Once you realize that $2000 Alien can be built for Sub $1200 or so and using much better parts your going to be hooked. The only downside is it's highly addicting... On Black Friday I found a great deal straight from Corsair. I was able to get a Refurbished K68 MX Red RGB Keyboard for $67. I can not recommend this Keyboard enough. I've previously for the last 7 years been using the Logitech that's built like a tank using MX Browns, so I do of course have a tendency to bottom out the Reds as I'm not used to them yet but the feels great albeit a little loud as I'm still learning the switches. This Keyboard has gorgeous per key RGB lighting and the skies the limit on colors schemes/layouts. It's not overly large and comes with a nice wrist rest. The main Feature of this Keyboard is that under the Key Caps there's a soft rubber barrier that protects the Circuit Board and the Switches themselves. It's rated at IPS 32 for Dust and Water resistance. I always have my Sweet Tea on my desk and being a clutz I've often spilled it. As luck would have it I dumped my 32oz Sweet Tea onto my desk and all over my new Keyboard. I immediately shut down my system and started to clean it off. I simply turned the keyboard on edge, being careful not to fully invert it, and removed the wrist rest. Then lightly banged the keyboard along it's bottom edge on my desk to get rid of the pooled tea it was still holding. I then wiped it down, removed a few of the Key Caps that still had tea around them between the barrier and the cap and mopped it up using a micro cloth. I'm very happy to say the Keyboard lived through this, was easy to clean and still works flawlessly as if the spill never occured. Sorry for the TLDR, I highly recommend this Keyboard as I can honestly say the IPS Rating is actually better than it's rated at, the overall build quality, fit and finish, features are outstanding and now after using it for a week or so and having it survive what would have killed most keyboards. I can honestly say that if this one ever does die, which at this point I highly doubt, I would buy another in a heart beat even at the full price MSRP of $129.99. If you've never used Cherry MX Switches once you do you will never go back to a Membrane Keyboard. I'd always used the cheapest $10 to $15 keyboards I could find prior to the Logitech, which I killed with a similar sweet tea spill, and after doing so had to have MX Switches again. Hope this helps someone on the fence about upping their Peripheral game. It really does make a difference in comfort and function...
I have built my own rigs, and purchased custom built machines from builders like CyberpowerPC. As daunting as it may seem building your own machine is far less expensive. Also, it has gotten a good deal less technical than it used to be. If you are getting in to PC gaming I strongly recommend you build your own. You will want the knowledge you gain when it comes time to upgrade anyway.
I've just started to build my new gaming PC out of scratch and at first I didn't know what to do even while watching PC building tutorials on youtube so I've told my mother that I was having issues and she's called up my uncle who later came over and helped me allot. *Tomorrow my uncle is going to come over and finish putting the last component in to finish building my new gaming PC.
this is just false lol 1. you don't have to be rich to be a pc gamer i mean if you have the money to buy a console and play it online with subscription plus getting 1-2 games for it then you have money for a mid ranged gaming pc. 2+3. I've freaking seen 10 year old kids build a pc.
Look i know the are some console players that waste money with 1.have two console/realy dumb expesive consoles(xbox x/PlayStation pro) 2.buy 60$/80$ games (i buy 20$ deals n shiet) 3.have a bunch of subs like xbox live,EA access and xbox gold THESE dumm fucks could and should change/get into pc gamnig ,but i dont think that is the avarage console player i and my friends mostly only have one 60 dollar subcription like xbox live witch last 1year btw (and when its at like 1 dollar some of us get xbox gold)
don't really need to be rich. I built my PC over the past 8 years, upgrading every part piece by piece when games I wanted to play needed more performance. probably wasted over 2000 or 3000 dollars over 8 years just on computer parts. it's not a beast computer but I can play with smooth FPS and nice graphics (not ultra though) any modern game. and I just sold my old parts to my relatives and such when I didnt need them anymore
I feel like most people with a job can save for 600-800 bucks in a few months. Now I have absolutely no experience with financing and jobs since I’m becoming a freshman in high school but I think that anyone that’s good with money can save up this amount of money in less than a year
I build my own PC's all the time, and if you don't have proper equipment you can easily destroy products you receive without realizing it. I work for a circuit board company that sources to all sorts of industries including Military and Medical fields; We fail in our treatment of the tech, and we could cost someone their life. Same goes for the tech itself. Do your best to ground yourself while building a PC to avoid any potential "DOA" parts, which could really be caused by your own approach to building a PC. Humans only feel shocks from 2,000 volts or higher. Parts used in PCs can be damaged by less that 20 volts. With that information, you now know you could easily kill your own product without realizing it.
Until last year, I didn't know much about pc building and it's advantages and bought console to have peace of mind,but in early 2017 I learnt the awesomeness of the PCmasterrace and built a mid range pc for around 700$ , I love it . Would never go back to consoles. Will build a stronger PC hopefully few years down the line.
I've recently just moved to pc and I have 2 questions: 1. How do I swap out parts (is it just as simple as swapping the parts and that's it?) And 2. How do I adjust to mouse and keyboard? It's so frustrating trying to use a keyboard to game.
Snailboy I know I’m late, but 1, yes, mostly, it is just that easy. You take said thing out, put the new thing in, then boom. Key word is MOST. And for getting used to kbm, I suggest playing “passive” games. Don’t start off with cod or something like that. If you’re into Minecraft, try that, or even something like hitman
Hey man, have you been able to adapt to keyboard? Would you prefer to have a controller with joystick on your left hand instead of keyboard and still a mouse on your right hand for aiming?
Perfect video Charlie. I’ve been wanting to slowly make the change from console to PC. I’ve been researching PCs and honestly it’s pretty overwhelming. Thanks dood!
Selling computers for 5 years. It’s easy now, 1000$, core I5, GTX 1060 6GB, 8gb ram ddr4, 200gb ssd for windows, everything above this price is a show off.
I've got the full hp omen setup, a 1440p 165hz 27inch hp omen monitor, hp omen sequencer gaming keyboard, hp omen reactor mouse, hp omen mind frame headset and the hp omen obelisk desktop with the i78700 processor, 16gb of ram and a gtx 1060. I upgraded the gpu to the rtx 2070 and installed a liquid cooler to the CPU. Its beast
I think the best way to make your first PC is with the help of an experienced builder that will walk you through all the steps. Everybody knows someone that builds PC's. I did the jump after a few pre-made pc's in 2007, started to learn everything by myself with no help, and the result was one of the most satisfying experience ever when my first build booted first time with no issues :) Following a few PC tech related yt channels is also a good way to keep yourself informed of what's going on.
Thumb up for the hint with the anti static cable. Most PC builders forget these and then wonder why they get weird reboots, bluescreens, instabilities, ...
Meh, I think thats an ancient myth. PC components are fare more durable then they were in the 80's. Just touch some sort of metal object before you start and dont work on carpet.
@Kleizar, no that is still a valid fact. A static discharge of your body can be huge. And you will still easily damage computer parts with it. While periodically touching a metal object (that has to be grounded! not just made of metal) in general helps it is much more save to just stand on a anti static mat or attach yourself to the heater with a anti static band.
and don't wear wool or other clothing that can encourage accumulating static charge. Don't rub your hands through your hair. Common sense really but I guess not obvious to somebody new to this
Definitely also calling this a myth. Sure it could theoretically happen if you're the kind of person that is supercharged half the time, but I have never heard of it actually happen. Certainly havent had any problems myself over the last 20 years.

I've been gaming on PC since about 2011 and primarily a PC gamer since 2015 when I built my gaming one with a GTX 960 2gb, i5 4460 and 8gb Ram, after a year I realized it was underpowered even for 1080p and got a 1070 and 16gb ram, eventually an i7 7700k and moved to 1440p recently. 1440p is really the highest resolution you'd want to go for unless you want crazy graphics, 120hz is the highest refreshrate anyone will ever need but a lot of monitors are 144hz, mine can overclock to 165hz but above 120hz is pointless and won't help you at all and will need a massive amount of power to run, 1ms response time is gonna be what you'd want. Deathadder mice are great, I had a Chroma and now an Elite and it's very good, I have a Deathstalker and it's good but i'm thinking of going for a Huntsman as it's a mechanical keyboard with opto-mechanical keys. Good headsets are hard to find, I've gone from a Turtle Beach to an Afterglow wireless to a Razer Kraken and now a Razer Kraken V2, the V2 is definitely the best headset i've had and for sound is very good although i'm sure there is better, the V2 has the best headset mic you can get but i'm using a cheap condenser mic that is still better quality. Mousepads don't matter much, just go with one that's the right size really. Always go for a PC with a CPU good enough for the GPU, don't use an i5 7th gen or older with a 1070 or higher or you'll get bottlenecks on some games like Battlefield 1, i5 8th gen or i7s are great for that, 8gb Ram can work but 16gb is recommended and soon you'll probably want 32gb
Zodiac011 You seem like you know what you are talking about. I have a question for you, I’m looking to buy a gaming pc but my budget is 1,400$, is that high enough to be able to get a prebuilt pc that is capable of running new games with full setting and good FPS? Thank you.
8gb of RAM are still performing extremely well,even today. Most games don't even use as much. Only a few titles like the next Tomb Raider uses more than 8gb of RAM when running. But yes 16gb for a new build is definitly recommanded, it's future proof. We won't see 32gb mandatory for gaming anytime soon (but it's usefull if yu are an artist, video editor etc). Oh and Razer's Audio gear is shit, way too bassy and very fragile (got 2 of them, one at 70$ and one at 200$ both of them broke). If you can, buy a real audiophile headset (an open one if you game alone, closed if you have people around). The sound quality, and confort will be way better + you will be able to use your headset with your phone or other audio devices. If you need to chat just buy a mike like the Bird UM1, sounds great for the price
I've got a massive head too. My hats are always on the last 1 or 2 holes. I took some zip ties to my head set to apply reverse tension, spreading the muffs apart. The zip ties are on the top. A bit ugly, but they are vastly more comfortable now
Great video Level, these kinds of videos helped me out a lot back when I first built my own PC. The best way to learn more for those who are just starting out is to just ask people who know, online and in person, they'll be more than happy to help.
PC gaming is a great and fun hobby. I just prefer console. The ecosystem feels better and more refined and I enjoy how seamlessly it integrates with my 65 inch LG 4k hdr tv.
How does the console ecosystem feel better when your paying for online play and paying more for games. And it’s not like a PC won’t work with your TV, and yet there still isn’t a console that can play every game at native 4K so your TV is pointless. Also if you don’t know already TV’s are pretty bad for gaming, so trying to show off your “65 inch LG 4K” with slow response times, 60 Hz refresh rate and low PPI, is cringy.
ArcaneVoid honestly bro, nobody really cares about any of that. I'm not a pro gamer, I just play a little resident evil or Madden for fun on the weekends
ArcaneVoid don't attack him for preferring a different platform. I am a pc gamer and mainly one but you only make our community look bad when you "harass"(using the term loosely)someone just because of their platform. Tell them the benefits of the pc rather than state the negatives on consoles. It puts a better outlook on us pc gamers.
I bought a prebuilt, got the balls to take out the gpu and ram.. and spent about a year watching videos understanding what is what.. then built my own. So a year after coming to pc I did it myself. Granted I was really into pc before I got one, I was that kid obsessed with tech. I was semi good with computers and troubleshooting. :)
On the monitor side, have to point out that there "might" be a reason to buy a 60hrz gaming monitor if shooters aren't your main deal. If you're starting off and have no idea what you need you can look at you preferred games and budget. I'd pretty much tell you to aim for (something other than shooters) screen type>resolution>price> size>refresh. (Shooters) refresh>price>screen type>resolution. Size being less important in the latter as it really can be a problem in games you need to see everything in an instant but then again this is level cap's channel soo.. pretty likely your interested in shooters.
Igor Sandu that's because most 144hz monitors are aimed for esports or into the "competitive" scene for fps and such. TN panels offer the fastes response rate and yes, lacking the quality colour and contrast offered in IPS panels. Professional gamers tend to lean more on response rate rather than nice picture quality
I bought PS4 like month ago, i really wanna kill myself after realizing it can't run games on 1080p 60fps like PC, fking waste of money, could have bought decent PC rip
@@ayden9417 many games are nowhere near 60fps but it runs 1080 easily...even the ps3 ran 1080. Most ps4 games run at 30fps minimum, which is perfectly playable. But if you are used to playing at 60fps or more on PC and play a console at 30fps, it will feel awful. Sure, 60fps is great but you kinda get used to 30fps, isnt a huge deal for me.
Hey levelcap! Just saw this video. Although I have a custom built PC that is 6 years old and kicking, this video is great for new coming PC gamers! Keep up the great work!
I built my very first pc about a month and a half ago without any help. It is not very hard to build a pc, all I did was look up a video on youtube of how to build a pc. And now she runs like a charm. I say if you want to build a pc go for it.
You can either look up a pc build on google or youtube or you can go to PCPartPicker and choose all your parts there and it will tell you if the parts are compatible or not I can tell you my pc specs if you need me to.
Bloach of Super ok thanks don’t bother telling me your specs I will look into myself. I have been wanting to go to pc for a while now and my friend just has and another is going to so I am finally going to go for it
I think newer and powerful components as well as compatibility are key points to look at when buying a gaming pc and a minimum budget of about $1000 US dollars for something decent.
"It's not to expensive"
Me: *laughs in broke*
Not gonna lie I was scared of this, you hear about spending 200-300 on a pc to play games at "low/medium" and it sounds like you'll be playing a fortnite mobile-esque graphically deficient game but in reality games on pc with 1080p medium or low qualitys tend to be pretty similar to standard console graphics

I used to wipe the floor with people in BF3 on PS3. Been playing on PC for around 4 months now, mostly third person games. Gave BF3 a shot and holy crap am I awful. Got a LOOONNNGG ways to go before I'm even decent. Sad that there aren't a lot of servers up and running for it anymore.
JuicyMullet bf3 on ps3 was the shit, only playing with 24 players on conquest kinda sucked though
JuicyMullet Right? I'm already burnt out on Noshir Canals.
You're probably not shit, it's just that the people still playing bf3 on pc probably do so regularly and are therefore shit hot. BF3 is very twitchy so you might find it helps to play with high FOV and higher mouse sensitivity. Don't play over wifi and definitely wear headphones. The AEK is king.
FriedEgg Also, mostly anyone that still plays is a hacker. BF3 on PC is not really worth jumping on anymore.

4. forget to turn one screw at your cpu cooler and fry your pc👌🏻
Sounds oddly specific, hmmmm
without proper pressure it would not start leave frying

I agree with your name
coming from a console gamer i built my first pc myself about 4 5 months ago , i did a ton of research and lots of youtube videos on how to build , eventually i started buying components bit by bit and in the end spend about £6-700 and with that i had a quite beefy computer , m.2 ssd boot drive, 240aio cooler , ryzen 5 1600 , 2tb hdd, gtx 1060 3gb 16gb ddr4 ram , ab350 mobo, it handles the games i play so much better than console , the smoothness and just better visuals far outmatch console and thats with a mediocre graphics card, you dont need thousands to get into it , just do your research and price snipe components, especially gpu’s , it was very fun building it and it did look. quite nice in the nzxt case , its really fun building and you get the satisfaction of knowing you built it definitely worth building
How long did it take to take to build the PC up from scratch?
Rip, if you waited just a little longer you could have got the 1600af with 12nm architecture...
Hey! Did you mostly learn on TH-cam? Any tips on who you watched? Anything else that you learned your research from would be really helpful
As a long time, ex-console gamer, there is a learning curve but once you switch to PC you'll feel better about getting more for your money and accessing more games. You'll be frustrated at times but you'll also learn a LOT about how computers work. Plus, it's really nice to have a good, fast PC to just browse the web and enjoy TH-cam. It's one of those things you have to see and experience for yourself but 100% worth it. Pro tip: If you are planning a build, wait for Black Friday and you'll save a TON of money.
Tips on transitioning from a controller to a keyboard and mouse besides just working on getting good sensitivity down?
I bought a Razer keypad since the keys were linear but recently just went to a keyboard. I don't recommend keypads and now see that as waste of time. I recommend using default key maps for the most part as changing them up for each game just becomes tedious. For mouse sensitivity, lower DPI (I play PUBG in 800 DPI) is better and adjust in-game sensitivity as needed. Same goes for Battlefield or games like Overwatch. The mouse I have (Corsair M65 Pro) has a sniper button on the side which is good for headshots when sniping. Probably the most important thing that helped me a lot was getting a good chair and practicing good posture. Lining up your peripherals just right and making sure you keep your elbows on your desk. You can also get some ergonomic elbow rests for better range of motion if needed.
Waiting for a gtx 1070 price to go dowm
Black Friday is going to be worth the wait this year.
What do you mean...."sniper button"?
I started PC gaming when BF3 came out in 2011. The difference is night and day, but honestly the only reason I switched was because of the stupid online fees console have. I used to think PCs had worse graphics before I got into it for some odd reason.
That is the problem still, i once was a console peasant, i used to think how much greater a console was when they aren't and i hate myself for thinking that
DatGrunt yeah if you do the math, buying a new console and paying for the online fee on it every 5 years is about the same price as buying a mid tier pc every 5 years except on pc there are generally more sales so pc gaming can actually be cheaper
dustydinoface Not to mention a good CPU can last about 8 or 9 years (the i5 2500k for example) and you might only need more storage or a faster GPU.
I know right lol. Whenever someone told me that they game on pc I wouldn’t take them seriously for some reason. Until i saw it.
dustydinoface the good thing is that it’s always ahead of consoles. I don’t think next gen consoles will play over 60fps

I really reccomend building your own PC, it only takes a few hours of contemplating whether to make an Intel or AMD style build only to then come to the realization that you still know jack shit about the components while erratically researching core processors, graphics cards, cooling systems, sound chips and power supplies with weird alien names from Area 51, like some tech support student.
Aside from that it only takes another few hours of self deprivation, hopelessly clasping on to your sanity, a child sacrifice, a vintage fashion magazine from the 1980s and other various forms of masochism all while hopelessly contemplating whether or not it would have just been better to get a pre-built PC, and after you are done, you will only contemplate your life choices for the next hour as you wait for you PC to do about 5 million updates and just hope that those components that just violated your bank account actually work together. No stress at all really, i'm definitely not a sadistic bastard. It is cheaper though.
I know I’m very late and I partly agree with this. I think you should take advantage of someone else who was already built their pc and are selling it on the Facebook marketplace or apps such as OfferUp,letgo, or craigslist. This way you won’t have to worry about putting your pic together and there’s usually 200 bucks less than what you would’ve payed if you would’ve built it yourself
@@dustpan5236 until you realise the PC is full of dust....
i had a panic attack while reading this
i did it because it would be probably the last time that i had to catch up to the current info, i worked with them for years, it made me think i should've studied the human body - no upgrades in the last few decades there. At the end i figured i was close to the bullseye on the m.b., cpu, ram choices in the $400 cpu class. Do it as a challenge to yourself - learning the good comparison websites, and such like this, before you spend.
tbh i think building it yourself can be more expensive because you need to get the parts yourself and some of the parts are more expensive than it should be
I prefer pc gaming but I just have zero friends that use that platform. Something to consider if you’re a person that prefers to play with their buddies

Built mine over a 6 month period. Saving for parts etc. Really enjoyed the whole process, learned a lot about computing throughout. Not to mention that this beast will max out whatever I want in 1440p 100+ frames. The difference is considerable I have to say. Not just from a graphical stand point but also the functionality of having a work desktop and an entire entertainment system at my finger tips. GG
Don't forget your power supply! Buying one that's too weak may result in a slower computer and it shutting down randomly. I have a 350w power supply for a 500 euro pc, which barely works (it shuts down sometimes) if you're looking to buy a 600-800 euro pc I recommend getting something of 500 watts
Erik Smit if you put your parts into pc part picker you can see how many watts your build uses and you should get a power supply that has about double what your build needs
I wouldn't get double your needs. I'd get about 1/4 to 2/5ths more than you need. PSUs have a sweet spot and if you buy higher watt PSUs then you're just spending more money with no added efficiency or stability.
Maybe try underclocking your GPU or so
You seem like you know what you are talking about. I have a question for you, I’m looking to buy a gaming pc but my budget is 1,400$, is that high enough to be able to get a prebuilt pc that is capable of running new games with full setting and good FPS? Thank you.

Make sure everything is rgb. For every rgb periphial you have you get 15 fps(the smoothness of your game) no matter what PC you have
Oh really? Is the other stuff even needed then? I think 75 fps is enough (5 RGBS). Do I still need to get all the parts or can I leave some out?

Your video is the first one i found that actually answered the questions i was asking. Thank you
I really suggest building your own PC. The process of building only takes an hour or two and 3 hours of research should be enough to find the right parts. The only thing system builders provide that will be beneficial is tech support and pro cable management. Everything else you can do yourself just fine.
system builders also provide warranty including compatibiilty. For some people that's worth paying more than the sum of the parts, cause they don't want to deal with crashes/weird glitches cause sometimes components simply do not play together even if they are meant to
I just want to play video games, bro...
It takes more like 5 hours for a first time builder
That's actually debatable right now. Yes usually building is the way to go, but with price hikes in different components now, using a builder like NZXT might be cheaper as they base their prices of the component's MSRP, not the current average sale price. Right now you might be still good building due to the recent drop in GPU prices but that won't be the case for long (also the reason why you should go ahead an upgrade your GPU now if you're looking to upgrade, not wait). Reason is the price drop is because everyone's waiting on the new NVidia GPUs, gamers and miners alike. Therefore current GPU demand has dropped and with it, prices too. But when the new GPUs launch, they will be sold out within minutes, and if you waited and weren't able to buy one of the new GPUs when they drop, you'll go to get an 10-series GPU, only that's what everyone weren't able to get an 11-series GPU (miners and gamers) will do, and thus the prices for both 11-series and 10-series cards will skyrocket. So once the new GPUs drop, you best bet is going with a builder like NZXT.

Cool do what you have to do
- Simple - that’s great dude! And you don’t have to build one if you don’t want as a pre built is the better choice sometimes but do keep in mind that you will learn a lot more about your pc if you build it yourself. You will also be able to upgrade easier if you build t yourself. Just do a lot of research on the parts you choose.
Qrow Branwen
gaming laptops mostly suffers from poor cooling and overheats more easily, sure they have been getting better but they are also more expensive majority of the cases. Of course if you're moving alot then laptops is a good choice. Plus it's harder or mostly impossible to fix a laptop yourself if something brake cause how they are built and if you try then you will ruin the warranty of it and it will be very expensive to fix if you turn it in. I would say go for a custom build or even a pre built but do research on parts and bulds that you want before buying, i would only recommend laptops if you're someone who always are on the move and needs something for that.
Laptops trade power, price, and cooling for the convenience of being able to carry them around. Plus when your laptop breaks or you want to upgrade, you'll need to buy a new one. A desktop can be upgraded piece by piece.
This video is way more helpful than all the others, you actually talk about the parts and what the hell they are. I had really been struggling to get into this cause of all the complicated terms. Thank you.
another way to get your bearings at first is to go to a reputable tech forum and ask for advice based on your budget. the more experienced there will also ask a few questions about the intended use of the PC like what games you plan to play or what else besides gaming you plan to do with it (i.e video or sound editing) and will suggest parts that fit your needs and are as close to your budget as possible.

JUST DO IT. At first I actually couldn’t believe I bought the parts for my build. But once I did, I was really excited because I’ve been wanting to switch to pc for two years. It took me a couple weeks to get it together with the parts shortage. But I did it and even started using mouse and keyboard. BEST DECISION IVE EVER MADE FOR MY GAMING EXPERIENCE.

How much money are you saving up to before you begin?
You especially DONT want to cheap out on the Power supply
I really really really want to play on pc but there is one massive problem in my way
The cost
AMD has released some really great APUs recently. If things like CS:GO and Rocket League are what you're after, they'll do fine as both the CPU and GPU. Just keep in mind productivity may suffer a bit for non-gaming purposes due to the fact the CPU part of the APU is only 2 core, 4 thread on all the ones I've seen. The AMD Athlon G200 is one such APU, it's $50 right now.
You can get a capable pc for under 500
If you’re looking to play e sports games you could buy a ryzen 2200g computer for around 300

I built one with the help of an experienced friend. And god did I need it.
The backplate wasn't properly attached to the motherboard. Meaning we had to melt the thermal paste. Take the cooling unit off and painstakingly clean off the thermal paste. Then put it back on.
Then it took us an hour to figure out a screw was short-circuiting the PSU.
But now it's all up and running I'm really enjoying it.
... melt the thermal paste???

Great Video and I would advise anyone wanting to get into PC Gaming to build their own. The cost savings and level of hardware you can choose in a self built system will more than justify anytime you end up spending learning how to and then building your system. Once you realize that $2000 Alien can be built for Sub $1200 or so and using much better parts your going to be hooked. The only downside is it's highly addicting...
On Black Friday I found a great deal straight from Corsair.
I was able to get a Refurbished K68 MX Red RGB Keyboard for $67. I can not recommend this Keyboard enough. I've previously for the last 7 years been using the Logitech that's built like a tank using MX Browns, so I do of course have a tendency to bottom out the Reds as I'm not used to them yet but the feels great albeit a little loud as I'm still learning the switches. This Keyboard has gorgeous per key RGB lighting and the skies the limit on colors schemes/layouts. It's not overly large and comes with a nice wrist rest. The main Feature of this Keyboard is that under the Key Caps there's a soft rubber barrier that protects the Circuit Board and the Switches themselves. It's rated at IPS 32 for Dust and Water resistance. I always have my Sweet Tea on my desk and being a clutz I've often spilled it. As luck would have it I dumped my 32oz Sweet Tea onto my desk and all over my new Keyboard. I immediately shut down my system and started to clean it off. I simply turned the keyboard on edge, being careful not to fully invert it, and removed the wrist rest. Then lightly banged the keyboard along it's bottom edge on my desk to get rid of the pooled tea it was still holding. I then wiped it down, removed a few of the Key Caps that still had tea around them between the barrier and the cap and mopped it up using a micro cloth. I'm very happy to say the Keyboard lived through this, was easy to clean and still works flawlessly as if the spill never occured.
Sorry for the TLDR,
I highly recommend this Keyboard as I can honestly say the IPS Rating is actually better than it's rated at, the overall build quality, fit and finish, features are outstanding and now after using it for a week or so and having it survive what would have killed most keyboards. I can honestly say that if this one ever does die, which at this point I highly doubt, I would buy another in a heart beat even at the full price MSRP of $129.99. If you've never used Cherry MX Switches once you do you will never go back to a Membrane Keyboard. I'd always used the cheapest $10 to $15 keyboards I could find prior to the Logitech, which I killed with a similar sweet tea spill, and after doing so had to have MX Switches again. Hope this helps someone on the fence about upping their Peripheral game. It really does make a difference in comfort and function...

I have built my own rigs, and purchased custom built machines from builders like CyberpowerPC. As daunting as it may seem building your own machine is far less expensive. Also, it has gotten a good deal less technical than it used to be. If you are getting in to PC gaming I strongly recommend you build your own. You will want the knowledge you gain when it comes time to upgrade anyway.
I've just started to build my new gaming PC out of scratch and at first I didn't know what to do even while watching PC building tutorials on youtube so I've told my mother that I was having issues and she's called up my uncle who later came over and helped me allot.

step 2, hire a nerd
step 3, be a nerd
this is just false lol 1. you don't have to be rich to be a pc gamer i mean if you have the money to buy a console and play it online with subscription plus getting 1-2 games for it then you have money for a mid ranged gaming pc. 2+3. I've freaking seen 10 year old kids build a pc.

19lazyboy91 zbox s is 200 with games included and 60 dollar for a year
Look i know the are some console players that waste money with
1.have two console/realy dumb expesive consoles(xbox x/PlayStation pro)
2.buy 60$/80$ games (i buy 20$ deals n shiet)
3.have a bunch of subs like xbox live,EA access and xbox gold
THESE dumm fucks could and should change/get into pc gamnig ,but i dont think that is the avarage console player i and my friends mostly only have one 60 dollar subcription like xbox live witch last 1year btw (and when its at like 1 dollar some of us get xbox gold)
don't really need to be rich. I built my PC over the past 8 years, upgrading every part piece by piece when games I wanted to play needed more performance. probably wasted over 2000 or 3000 dollars over 8 years just on computer parts. it's not a beast computer but I can play with smooth FPS and nice graphics (not ultra though) any modern game. and I just sold my old parts to my relatives and such when I didnt need them anymore
"600-800" "Budget" choose one
I feel like most people with a job can save for 600-800 bucks in a few months. Now I have absolutely no experience with financing and jobs since I’m becoming a freshman in high school but I think that anyone that’s good with money can save up this amount of money in less than a year
He said budget, not affordable. Your budget might differ from someone else’s budget. Sometimes a $1,000 budget isn’t much for some people.
I build my own PC's all the time, and if you don't have proper equipment you can easily destroy products you receive without realizing it. I work for a circuit board company that sources to all sorts of industries including Military and Medical fields; We fail in our treatment of the tech, and we could cost someone their life. Same goes for the tech itself. Do your best to ground yourself while building a PC to avoid any potential "DOA" parts, which could really be caused by your own approach to building a PC. Humans only feel shocks from 2,000 volts or higher. Parts used in PCs can be damaged by less that 20 volts. With that information, you now know you could easily kill your own product without realizing it.
This is the best guide I've seen. I'm excited to get into PC gaming, thank you!
Until last year, I didn't know much about pc building and it's advantages and bought console to have peace of mind,but in early 2017 I learnt the awesomeness of the PCmasterrace and built a mid range pc for around 700$ , I love it . Would never go back to consoles. Will build a stronger PC hopefully few years down the line.
I've recently just moved to pc and I have 2 questions: 1. How do I swap out parts (is it just as simple as swapping the parts and that's it?) And 2. How do I adjust to mouse and keyboard? It's so frustrating trying to use a keyboard to game.

And for getting used to kbm, I suggest playing “passive” games. Don’t start off with cod or something like that. If you’re into Minecraft, try that, or even something like hitman
@@dickmeatbootysack2165 cheers for the advice mate.
Hey man, have you been able to adapt to keyboard? Would you prefer to have a controller with joystick on your left hand instead of keyboard and still a mouse on your right hand for aiming?
@@nicolasfranco9749 it's fine I'm starting to get the hang of it
Snailboy in your opinion, whats better for
Movement joystick or WASD?
"how to start pc gaming"

"I have a large headsize."
Perfect video Charlie. I’ve been wanting to slowly make the change from console to PC. I’ve been researching PCs and honestly it’s pretty overwhelming. Thanks dood!
I am not going down this route, at this point, but I DEEPLY appreciate ur time and effort putting this together.
I need supporters, my big brother Promised me A Gaming Pc if i Got good marks For this exam term
Did he get u the pc
Idk what anything means, these technology terms are in a whole different language. I just want a computer that goes well with games 🤣😩
Well what do you need help with
What help do you want? I'll help.
Artair, don’t worry! I don’t need Amy help!
Ewan Steel Same with me I don’t want to build my pc I just want it to handle playing game.Idk what any of this means lol
Anybody who wants someone to build it for them hit me up!
Selling computers for 5 years. It’s easy now, 1000$, core I5, GTX 1060 6GB, 8gb ram ddr4, 200gb ssd for windows, everything above this price is a show off.
Do they even sell 200gb ssds?
REDPOWERable 8gb of ram in an $1k pc is bad..
I've got the full hp omen setup, a 1440p 165hz 27inch hp omen monitor, hp omen sequencer gaming keyboard, hp omen reactor mouse, hp omen mind frame headset and the hp omen obelisk desktop with the i78700 processor, 16gb of ram and a gtx 1060. I upgraded the gpu to the rtx 2070 and installed a liquid cooler to the CPU. Its beast
I think the best way to make your first PC is with the help of an experienced builder that will walk you through all the steps. Everybody knows someone that builds PC's. I did the jump after a few pre-made pc's in 2007, started to learn everything by myself with no help, and the result was one of the most satisfying experience ever when my first build booted first time with no issues :) Following a few PC tech related yt channels is also a good way to keep yourself informed of what's going on.
Thumb up for the hint with the anti static cable. Most PC builders forget these and then wonder why they get weird reboots, bluescreens, instabilities, ...
Sebastian P or you can touch a metal object periodically while building
Meh, I think thats an ancient myth. PC components are fare more durable then they were in the 80's. Just touch some sort of metal object before you start and dont work on carpet.
@Kleizar, no that is still a valid fact. A static discharge of your body can be huge. And you will still easily damage computer parts with it. While periodically touching a metal object (that has to be grounded! not just made of metal) in general helps it is much more save to just stand on a anti static mat or attach yourself to the heater with a anti static band.
and don't wear wool or other clothing that can encourage accumulating static charge. Don't rub your hands through your hair. Common sense really but I guess not obvious to somebody new to this
Definitely also calling this a myth. Sure it could theoretically happen if you're the kind of person that is supercharged half the time, but I have never heard of it actually happen. Certainly havent had any problems myself over the last 20 years.
9:20 is literally the exact monitor I’m getting soon lol
I got 16 mins in and remembered i watched this a few months ago
Lol
me who has been playing on mobile all my life and just wanting a pc to play Minecraft with my friend, hearing this man speak enchanting table: iNtEreStIng
As someone who isn't new to PC gaming at all, I still enjoyed this video. I think it's very informative for someone getting into PC Gaming.
Ez. Built my first pc from scratch the other day. Having fun playing everything at ultra, 1440p and 160fps
Can u tell me ur setup, how much it cost and any videos u recommend for me to watch? Planning to get a pc for the first time for my birthday
Evoxx IOS hey, mind telling me your budget and what you’ll be using the pc for?
My specs:
3700x
32gb 3600mhz
Asus rog Strix 2080ti oc
Asus Strix x570-gaming f motherboard
Asus rog 750psu
1tb nvme SSD
2tb HDD
Turned about 3K usd with shipping and crap
SugaredDrip I’ll be using the pc to play warzone at least 75+ FPS and streaming. Budget would prob be 2.5k or less
I've been gaming on PC since about 2011 and primarily a PC gamer since 2015 when I built my gaming one with a GTX 960 2gb, i5 4460 and 8gb Ram, after a year I realized it was underpowered even for 1080p and got a 1070 and 16gb ram, eventually an i7 7700k and moved to 1440p recently. 1440p is really the highest resolution you'd want to go for unless you want crazy graphics, 120hz is the highest refreshrate anyone will ever need but a lot of monitors are 144hz, mine can overclock to 165hz but above 120hz is pointless and won't help you at all and will need a massive amount of power to run, 1ms response time is gonna be what you'd want. Deathadder mice are great, I had a Chroma and now an Elite and it's very good, I have a Deathstalker and it's good but i'm thinking of going for a Huntsman as it's a mechanical keyboard with opto-mechanical keys. Good headsets are hard to find, I've gone from a Turtle Beach to an Afterglow wireless to a Razer Kraken and now a Razer Kraken V2, the V2 is definitely the best headset i've had and for sound is very good although i'm sure there is better, the V2 has the best headset mic you can get but i'm using a cheap condenser mic that is still better quality. Mousepads don't matter much, just go with one that's the right size really. Always go for a PC with a CPU good enough for the GPU, don't use an i5 7th gen or older with a 1070 or higher or you'll get bottlenecks on some games like Battlefield 1, i5 8th gen or i7s are great for that, 8gb Ram can work but 16gb is recommended and soon you'll probably want 32gb
Zodiac011 You seem like you know what you are talking about. I have a question for you, I’m looking to buy a gaming pc but my budget is 1,400$, is that high enough to be able to get a prebuilt pc that is capable of running new games with full setting and good FPS? Thank you.
@@jacetwardowski264 ye just don't buy from cyberpower
8gb of RAM are still performing extremely well,even today. Most games don't even use as much. Only a few titles like the next Tomb Raider uses more than 8gb of RAM when running. But yes 16gb for a new build is definitly recommanded, it's future proof. We won't see 32gb mandatory for gaming anytime soon (but it's usefull if yu are an artist, video editor etc).
Oh and Razer's Audio gear is shit, way too bassy and very fragile (got 2 of them, one at 70$ and one at 200$ both of them broke).
If you can, buy a real audiophile headset (an open one if you game alone, closed if you have people around). The sound quality, and confort will be way better + you will be able to use your headset with your phone or other audio devices.
If you need to chat just buy a mike like the Bird UM1, sounds great for the price
this shoulda came out at the end of may when I started building 😂

Is that why your criying
I've got a massive head too. My hats are always on the last 1 or 2 holes. I took some zip ties to my head set to apply reverse tension, spreading the muffs apart. The zip ties are on the top. A bit ugly, but they are vastly more comfortable now
Great video Level, these kinds of videos helped me out a lot back when I first built my own PC. The best way to learn more for those who are just starting out is to just ask people who know, online and in person, they'll be more than happy to help.
Instead of butt wipes my aunt says booty wipes
Just read this comment while cap said that line, thanks
What about Politically Correct gaming?
윤뉴비. Seriously!!
stupid
Rohan Mahato hehe.
You PC bro?
respecc wamen.
PC gaming is a great and fun hobby. I just prefer console. The ecosystem feels better and more refined and I enjoy how seamlessly it integrates with my 65 inch LG 4k hdr tv.
agree: the consol is the best!
Il cattivone i love both! I play mainly on pc, but keep my PS4 for exclusives
How does the console ecosystem feel better when your paying for online play and paying more for games. And it’s not like a PC won’t work with your TV, and yet there still isn’t a console that can play every game at native 4K so your TV is pointless. Also if you don’t know already TV’s are pretty bad for gaming, so trying to show off your “65 inch LG 4K” with slow response times, 60 Hz refresh rate and low PPI, is cringy.
ArcaneVoid honestly bro, nobody really cares about any of that. I'm not a pro gamer, I just play a little resident evil or Madden for fun on the weekends
ArcaneVoid don't attack him for preferring a different platform. I am a pc gamer and mainly one but you only make our community look bad when you "harass"(using the term loosely)someone just because of their platform. Tell them the benefits of the pc rather than state the negatives on consoles. It puts a better outlook on us pc gamers.
I bought a prebuilt, got the balls to take out the gpu and ram.. and spent about a year watching videos understanding what is what.. then built my own. So a year after coming to pc I did it myself. Granted I was really into pc before I got one, I was that kid obsessed with tech. I was semi good with computers and troubleshooting. :)
On the monitor side, have to point out that there "might" be a reason to buy a 60hrz gaming monitor if shooters aren't your main deal. If you're starting off and have no idea what you need you can look at you preferred games and budget. I'd pretty much tell you to aim for (something other than shooters) screen type>resolution>price> size>refresh. (Shooters) refresh>price>screen type>resolution. Size being less important in the latter as it really can be a problem in games you need to see everything in an instant but then again this is level cap's channel soo.. pretty likely your interested in shooters.
I just ordered an Alienware aurora r7 with i7-8700 and GeForce 1080 after my last upload came in at 360p I couldn’t take my laptop anymore lol.
Mr_DiLL • Sorry for your loss
go fuck yourself you lazy piece of shit

Mr_DiLL • Should've built your own it would've been way cheaper and could've looked nicer.
oh god you fucked up mate sadly

Not going to lie Level I would happily bury you out in the woods for that gaming set up. I haven't been that jealous of a PC set up ever in my life.
9:20 - The problem with most 144 Hz monitors is that they have TN pixel matrix instead of IPS. That means that colors and contrast are no so great.
Igor Sandu that's because most 144hz monitors are aimed for esports or into the "competitive" scene for fps and such. TN panels offer the fastes response rate and yes, lacking the quality colour and contrast offered in IPS panels. Professional gamers tend to lean more on response rate rather than nice picture quality
I understand.
Hexzr if you want to win, get horrible colours, if you want experience, get eye candy display and losing doesn't matter once in a whike
Agree.
There's one simple solution: VA. Maybe the colors aren't as good as IPS, but it's much better than TN.
sad cringe intensified when u googled the pubg minimum requirements

I bought PS4 like month ago, i really wanna kill myself after realizing it can't run games on 1080p 60fps like PC, fking waste of money, could have bought decent PC rip
I know how it feels life without 60fps suck
My brother plays on ps4 and i can confirm that they do run roughly around 1080p 60 fps
Ps4 is still awesome
yeah i hate my ps4 too... it seems like an huge step back
@@ayden9417 many games are nowhere near 60fps but it runs 1080 easily...even the ps3 ran 1080. Most ps4 games run at 30fps minimum, which is perfectly playable. But if you are used to playing at 60fps or more on PC and play a console at 30fps, it will feel awful. Sure, 60fps is great but you kinda get used to 30fps, isnt a huge deal for me.
Hey levelcap! Just saw this video. Although I have a custom built PC that is 6 years old and kicking, this video is great for new coming PC gamers! Keep up the great work!
I built my very first pc about a month and a half ago without any help. It is not very hard to build a pc, all I did was look up a video on youtube of how to build a pc. And now she runs like a charm. I say if you want to build a pc go for it.
Bloach of Super how did you choose parts
You can either look up a pc build on google or youtube or you can go to PCPartPicker and choose all your parts there and it will tell you if the parts are compatible or not I can tell you my pc specs if you need me to.
Bloach of Super ok thanks don’t bother telling me your specs I will look into myself. I have been wanting to go to pc for a while now and my friend just has and another is going to so I am finally going to go for it
Awesome I wish you the best!
But can it play Fortnite
You can play it on a shitty phone so yeah
probably, my build is a pentium g4400 and gt 1030 and gets 100 fps no problem. (at stretched res but lets not get into that)
Fortnite is trash kid
Solid advise Levelcap. I'm a 20 year PC builder.
after a year of watching your content i have finally subbed. you are my fave level headed gaming jurno keep up the good work champ
I think newer and powerful components as well as compatibility are key points to look at when buying a gaming pc and a minimum budget of about $1000 US dollars for something decent.
Nope, you don't have to spend anywhere near $1000 USD for a decent pc.
Thank you so much, knowing that I should test mouses before getting them is super useful and everything else you said was also pretty useful
