For anyone wondering, once you've built a gaming pc, it's incredibly easy to just upgrade a part! Let's say you want a new GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), all you have to do is buy a compatible GPU, and then swap it out for the one already in your machine, or add it to the second slot! (That depends on your motherboard) I highly encourage getting in to gaming on a pc as there is so much more options when it comes to gaming! Happy gaming! :)
Should I buy a prebuilt or build? I don't know how to build though 😂😭
@@drago4813 definitely build (WAY CHEAPER) but I recommend watching Austin Evans guide. Once you build and rebuild it a few times, you can build it in as little as 15 minutes! If something goes wrong, I recommend calling microcentre. You don't need to go in the store they'll just walk you through how to troubleshoot! I had a bad CPU and 2 bad motherboards, the odds in that happening are 1/1000000 but it can happen. Buy your parts in a store rather than online, trust me!
bro i want to soo bad i need those pc rpgs bro
What is that ? Graphics p unit ? Is that how these videos are made ? The editing , stuff like that ?
@@leiperfamily7707 graphic processing unit (also salut)
just brought my first pc that is coming in a couple days so excited i’ve wanted one for over 10 years and finally saved up enough money for one
Good for you man I hope the one you saved up for it worth it!
Hey dude how'd it go?
Aww....you're excitement is so cute.🥺
Epic, enjoy building it!
I've already built my computer and set it up, thanks to these videos, yet I'm still here watching guides on how to build computers and set them up and watching his tutorials on how to build stronger computers than I'll ever have. It's just great content.
Same bro, love his videos I'm still watching a year after building mine from his guides
Same bro
Waiting on my case to arrive to build my first pc in a couple of hours I’m so excited, always something new watching his videos.
@@jordannmejia what parts did you buy if you dont mind me asking?
It’s for your subconscious you’ll have a more powerful one soon🤣
My 10 yo is getting into gaming so this was a helpful video, I would love a video on exactly how to build and prep a gaming pc for a mom who is not at all techy. That would be a fun mother son project someday
currently in the process of crossing over from console after decades of play, this video was the best guide i could've asked for, thank you!!
Been a console player all my life just bought my first pc last week best thing I’ve done! Taking some getting used to using keyboard and mouse rather than a controller but I’m getting better each day and my god the reflex’s on shooting games etc is out of this world with a mouse
Mouse and keyboard is the ultimate for sure, But remember you can still use a controller on PC.. And some games are just better suited for a controller.
Yeah I’m also playing with mnk day by day, on games where I just wna chill autopilot and have a good game I usually bust out my controller, but I feel like mnk is so much more fun cuz of the amount of progress I’m making.
same. although i'm still going to 'main' console, im also gonna try playing pc alot too!
What pc did you get? And is it any good?
What pc did you get?
Always nice to watch these and realize you have to humble yourself with these videos to learn more!
Great content as always!!
Your channel inspired me to build my own pc. The parts are on the way!
Loving your videos! i’m currently in the process of building my first very own pc and your videos are helping me out on how to build one and what to do when i have it setup. Thank you for your videos
Same here, just waiting for the last parts to arrive and the setup will be complete. I’ve found out that building a pc is pretty simple and very fun. Hope to see your build one day
You should make a video where you show exactly how to build a pc, every detail, everything. The video would be around an hour long and people who are building a pc could really use it since all your video's go over it pretty fast.
would definitely help a lot of people out.
One big flaw that I often see on PC build videos is they TALK TOO FAST. They know what they are doing so they zip along as if we know too, but we don't. Slower and more precise is very much better for builders of little or no experience.
@@dantheman7357 yea i just built my first pc and it wasn't hard i just needed to find everything on the motherboard it didn't go nearly as smooth as all the build videos
@@bartle6963 nice good job🙂 what are your pcs specs?
@@rokdovecar5275 most important ones are cpu 12600k gpu 3060 ti mb msi pro z690-a and case 500dx. Works incredible good compared to my 1660 ti which was also still pretty good
As somebody who is starting off being a pc gamer from consoles this channel seems to be the spot to learn! Thank you
Great information for us first time users. You helped answer alot of my questions and many that I didn't even think of.
I plan on getting into PC gaming ASAP for my TH-cam channel. Thank you for explaining the basics to someone who knows next to nothing about computers. I tried playing Phasmophobia on my sad little laptop, and it didn't go so well lol
Dropped a sub and like. Found your channel randomly and love the fact you embrace your "dorkiness". It makes for a more genuine video and adds more character to your channel! Too many tech youtubers focus purely on high end equipment (some credit mid range stuff that's pretty epic but they seem to begrudge doing so) keep the content coming 💯🔥
I gotta say you're setups are so nice it's so inviting with the plants and warm lighting just wow.

Love the vids I’m wanting to build a PC soon so this will help also First
you got a long road ahead of you but pc centric has ur back
@@BodabopFishing thanks!
Great introduction to PC gaming. I was using PC as a kid, like a long time ago, then had PS4 for a few years but am going back to PC gaming. As you said it's the superior platform for gaming experience.
This is a great video, even I knew all of this I definitely watched it till the end.
Nice work! Keep it up! 🤗👍🏻👌🏻🔥
Hey there, {{3}}! As a tech enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a fantastic tool for keeping your desktop, living spaces, and even your car clean and tidy. With its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, as well as its versatile accessories, it's definitely worth considering. Plus, the reasonable price and great build quality make it a solid choice. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
indeed
This is one of the best refresher beginner guides i have seen on youtube so far. Straight to the point but also highlighting alot of the new features that us older PC builders may not have known that was available with hardware and game clients! was unaware GOG can compile your other client bought games into one
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and powerful tool that combines vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for keeping your desktop, living spaces, and even car interiors spotless. With its versatile features and reasonable price, it's definitely worth considering for your cleaning routine. Happy optimizing! 😉
Couldn't wait for this vid. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video man! This was a huge help! Very informative
Centric legit has dad vibes by the way his humor is 😭 I love it
You are awesome my dude!
Thanks to you, I know how the confidence and know how to build my own gaming PC haha
I'm buying a pre built thought for my first one, but when I'm ready to up grade I'll be doing up a semi custom rig 😎👌
Thanks man! Keep it up, you are inspiring me to do tech stuff on my channel 👍👍👍
Likewise! I know a lot of people hate on it, but I’m basically buying a pre-built one but I can still pick certain parts like the GPU and a few other components. I don’t really know what I’m doing and am getting into it brand new so in my opinion it’s my safest option. From there I can always upgrade it as I learn more. Best of luck
Even though am planning to buy a Pc soon i love watching you're videos plus I learn something new every time i watch your vids keep it up
Thx man. I love your look, and the way you talk, you seem exactly like a guy that should have this kind of channel, straight out of central casting.
I just wanna say thank you for all the info and knowledge you're giving through these videos. I just dropped 3k on a PC with some good specs and this is my first Beast of a rig as I am coming from a console. After watching a few of your videos going into this seems a lot less intimidating and it's almost like this channel has been holding my hand so kudos to you and Merry Christmas. 👍🎄
Dude same I just dropped 3k on my first gaming pc build I’m stoked. Bye consoles
@@traavdasav how are u spending 3k on a built pc? Isnt the whole point of building is to save money?
When most of the games you’re gonna play on pc are also on console…
@@guardianlamb9962 prob for insane specs
help me bruh, what did you buy
Great overview.
Would have been nice to see a small section on the pros and cons of buying used.
The sponsor might have been a limiting factor there but good idea
Hey there! Thanks for your comment. I totally agree that discussing the pros and cons of buying used PCs would have been a valuable addition to the article. When it comes to purchasing used tech, it's important to consider factors like warranty, potential hardware issues, and compatibility with newer software. Additionally, researching the reputation of the seller and thoroughly inspecting the system before buying are essential steps. It's definitely a topic worth exploring to help beginners make informed decisions. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with!
@@innovativeadvertising6463 is iBUYPOWER worth buying out together or can I get the same result cheaper building my own?
Only con I see would be upgrading your Gpu or CPU
I’ve never seen any of your content man. And I am looking at getting a pc but 2:22 sec in and i wanna sub because your energy is cool and your funny! Not a lot of TH-camrs can pull me in like that so I had to make this post! Keep it up man!
Excellent video, very informative. Helped me a lot
Yes finally another episode of great content
Yes
Good information. I've been building PC's since the 90's, so much easier now! Always nice to hear a different take on things. I would say ensure you have enough spare resources to account for any background tasks. Build is better, if you want to just buy get a console. Obvious this was Nvidia sponsored but everyone has to earn a living 😉
I don't know if i will get an answer here but here's hoping. Last night I was playing a game and it was running a little slow (fps drops and freezing) for reference I have a 2080super, 16gb of ram and a Intel i7-9700k. So I closed out my game and went looking for a reason as to why the fps drops were happening. First stop.... storage space, I went to my D: drive and deleted some old TH-cam recordings/game clips and then moved to my C: drive which is 90% full and I thinks that's bad right? So I deleted the EFT (Live) folder in the battle state games folder and then resarted my computer. When it turned back on everything was going at like 1fps and after about 10 mins just completely shut off. I asked a friend and he thought I deleted a core file, so I restored every file except the EFT one because it was to large to restore. It is now the next morning and still barely working and turning off after 10-15 mins. I don't know what to do besides take it somewhere. Any advice?
@@sammohler6757 maybe one of your specs were damaged
I hope you're feeling better, and your voice has returned! Great video as always good sir!
One issue, i'm broke
One year ago I was building my first PC with a 3070 for Apex only. Now I am here with a new PC with a 3090 in it. Running a whooping 170-190fps 2560x1920 🤩
Did you build your new one as well? I’ve never built one and deciding if I should build it myself or have it built and tested and then sent to me
@@eyeamdee6209 I just finished my second build today. I really recommend it. There are some very good videos out there that I just followed step by step, and I encountered 0 issues. I learnt a buttload about how the pc works, temperatures, fan curves, it's all been very very fun, and really gives me the idea I know my PC's in and out. Also makes you kinda proud, knowing you put your own stuff together. So yeah I'd definitely recommend building your own, it's not nearly as difficult as you think :)
@@eyeamdee6209 Didn’t build my second pc. Was pre-built through NZXT!
@@eyeamdee6209 I’m not your average tough guy PC dude. If you’re wanting to build one to learn all your components, then do that. If you’re wanting something where you can get the parts you want like I did with the 3090, pre-built might be the safest route!
Nice one. I am looking at building a PC and Apex is literally the only game I play lol (currently on series s). My goal is to build a rig that will run the game at around 144fps on a 1440p resolution monitor. Won't be cheap but will totally be worth it I know.
To show how easy it actually is to build a PC you should do it blindfolded 😂
I've been playing on PC for nearly a year and it's definitely better than console once it actually works. I'm surprised how a 3rd gen i5 and gtx 1050ti can run newer games such as FH5 @ 1080p 80fps but definitely needs upgrading in a few months
should of kept on console, pc is not all its cracked up to be. most of the stuff on this video is not completely true. save your cash and get a playstation.

Let's goooo! Building my first gaming pc with a 3070Ti next week :D
I'm a pc and playstation gamer
The biggest advantage of console gaming is less power usage. Gaming pcs use a whole lot of electricity compared to console.
Some will complain about installing drivers but it's not rocket science nor is it difficult even for a beginner. Download , double click press next a few times and you're done. The majority of the time you don't have to tweak driver settings.
gaming PCs use more power than consoles, but not by that much
@@thepatrizioshow3246 depends what pc specs. The Xbox series x draws 150-200W which is much less than any comparable pc.
Hey! Don’t forget that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you have a blessed day❤️

But I have one question. What does this have to do with the video?
Love the purple theme I definitely would have the same color scheme if I get into the whole pc thing it gets more tempting every day lol. Thanks for the helpful video
This has helped me so much thank you :D
Acts 2:38 and John 10:30 are scriptures I challenge every Christian to look deeper into. Pray for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and revelation. Jesus Loves YOU!!! All of you have a blessed day; Amen Hallelujah 🔥🙏🏾
Thank you so much for the tip, I've recently tried to play Genshin Impact on my laptop since I'm more accustomed to playing it on the PlayStation5. While I agree that some aspect makes playing it all the more enjoyable (such as picking up on subtle details that a PS5 would otherwise miss, like the sleeping Hillichurls snoring (so cute)), it is trickier than I thought.
thank you so much i am changing from a ps4 to pc and this really helped
I bought a pre built from nzxt. Needed to get another case fan which was annoying but it taught me some things taking out the bracket to put the fan in
Thank you so much all your vids really help😊
Thank you this is good information on a beginner level for someone like me
Thank you so much for this video. I am very brand new to all of this and this help explain a lot. Just became a subscriber.
Brilliant video dude! Any chance of some videos/reviews of this years gaming laptops?
Wow this is nice. Im just getting in to it thanks for this video
Great video. Keep ‘em coming.
This guy reminds me of my computer sciencr teacher. Goofy and funny while educational when needed. Love it man keep it up 👍
Those are always the best teachers IMO.
@@JJFlores197 you said it
Was eagerly waiting for this 😁
seeing AIO's with the tubes up really grinds my gears.
Subbed! Nice video. I look forward to building a PC with your help.
this helped me a bit because I'm planning on getting a PC in feature
Seems really helpful, thanks
Thanks PC centric great video.
Can’t believe im searching how to use monitor or a pc for gaming but console better but pc has been still shining these years. 💯
Thank you for the guides
I should be getting my gpu finally for my build! I’m so excited yet nervous 😂
Just bought all my pc parts coming in soon this was helpful
What is it like playing on a pc now?
Awesome video! I'm looking into getting a PC I've had console forever. Last PC I played games on is when WOW came out
So, as a 30 year old who has never owned a PC before, I've started my build journey and have been really looking forward to playing games I've played on consoles like the Civilization games, Assassin's Creed, Halo, probably won't ever play CoD, and I'm excited to experience the depths of games that having a PC allows. I am so ready to play games.
As someone currently gaming on a dell inspiron laptop (Runs on Vega 8 integrated graphics)
I'm excited to evntually build a proper gaming pc. Beyond the initial investment it seems so much more convenient than console gaming. Your library is always there, online communities are a lot more active, buying games to build out your library is a lot cheaper and not charging me to play online is a welcome return coming from console gaming.
Im currently building my first ever pc and its mainly going to be used for gaming
hey PC Centric, you have been a HUGE help for me while im going through building my gaming computer... I have 2 of my PC parts so far and im gonna be ordering my GPU soon! but like what kind of games do you play? I know you probably play Apex Legends but like if you play COD,Fortnite ECT. we could play sometime? and maybe you could give me tips on building my first gaming PC and im kinda scared but you have helped me ALOT... thank you so much! ;)
Omg this was needed. Great vid much appreciated
That was incredibly useful
I put this video full screen on my phone it was so crisp I didn't know my phone could see in such good quality
I'm so hyped to build my PC now.
I'm looking to start pc gaming I will look into your videos soon
Loving the content 🥰🥰
Thanks for all your videos.
My pleasure!
Bro thank you your great
great videos keep up the good work😀

I am so glad I have manage to build my own PC with a
Intel Pentium III at 733Mhz
512mb SDRAM
3DFX Voodoo 3 3000
Sound Blaster Live!
an SD Card as a hard drive
& Windows 98.
That laptop got YEEETed 😂 but loving your vids. I’m looking for my first ever pc. And I’m clueless!
I am very thankful and happy I sold my console when I was 16 years old and never looked back. It doesn’t consume any of my time today and I can focus on my career and accomplishment’s
First vid of yours I've seen and yes I'll be following along. You take the mystery out of Gaming PC's. I need a system with great cache memory. Any suggestions?
I like how you stuck the MSI antenna onto the back haha!
Great video sir!
What should I look for when building a PC only for racing games? Suggestions on graphics card, memory, etc? THANK YOU!!!!!
Nice video man, do you recommend and pc brand or specs? My musetex power supply just went out and might fix it to sell and buy another better pc
Marcus, you should make a video around game-themed PC builds - NZXT do branded PC builds like RE2.
thanks man !!
New subscriber love the way you are breaking things down. And I just got a Dell optiplex 790 tower I don't know if it's possible to upgrade maybe U can do a video on that.
Thanks!
gotta love the fridge at the end 😂
Literally just bought my first PC, its a prebuilt because it was insanely cheap an Ryzen 5600g pre build. I mainly want to stream older games, emulated stuff. Would an rtx 3060 be a good gpu to add with that in mind?
I want to build instead of buying a prebuild but i think im overthinking it... Im unsure exactly what parts to get. When it goes to actually building it i have watched long tutotials and it doesn't look to hard just slotting things in and stuff.
What im reallt worried about is getting the right parts and how i know if i get a case that fits the parts and if it wont work and stuff lol.
Does the mother board make a difference? I’m thinking about buying my first pc and I’m trying to figure out what all the parts do so I can make a good decision on what I want.
My mom's buying me a PC and thanks to this video! ❤️
Very informative video
enjoy your content, keep it up :)
Thanks broski
Say you want to stream, work, gaming pc, would move from for example: an i5 to an i9 processor?
Hello
What keyboard and mouse would you recommend from logitech ?
I recently just built my dream PC (and setup) for about $4000. No regrets in every penny spent instead of getting a PS5 + 4K monitor. PC is so so so so much better in all ways
