[@pdureska7814]

I ran across your video today. Very well done but with one glaring omission ( and i see this omission in many You Tube "how to" build computers). Your video is directed at people building their first computer. So why have them install the motherboard into the case and complete the build before you actually test the main components outside of the case FIRST. i remember my first build probably close to 10 years ago. I watched a video from Newegg and Paul from Paul's Hardware. He made a point of "breadboarding" the major components outside of the case to make sure the Ram, CPU, PSU, mobo and graphics card were working before installing it into the case. Lo and behold my first build i had a bad motherboard and i am grateful i did not put everything into the case before testing because it would have been a nightmare to figure out the problem inside of the case. Remember your audience are beginners but i am sure anyone who builds a number of computers will benefit this simple thing to do and it really does not add much time to doing the build. Thanks

[@smurfdoc]

This is my first time watching Austin. He is very thorough, so if you've never done a build before, he's probably the one to watch. While many others out there have PC build tutorials, I think this is the most thorough, most detailed explanations from picking parts to installing, that I have seen. That being said, he did things in a bit of an odd order in my opinion, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. And I am by no means an expert. My recommendation to a first time builder...Watch this, and a few other build tutorials, all the way through BEFORE you start to build. This will ensure you know all the steps that are coming, and you don't have to redo things as you go, hopefully. Then, pick your favorite tutorial and watch it while you are building, pausing as needed. Definitely keep any manuals nearby. The motherboard manual is particularly helpful as it is likely easier to read than the motherboard itself as far as diagrams. Then enjoy building! As Austin says, it isn't as scary as it seems. In general, building a PC is easier than many think once you have the parts.

[@jerryemperor]

Just to add to the above, literally go watch the LTT tutorial and you're completely set.

[@iconoclast485]

I know it might be a little advanced to look into but I think it would have been good to mention when choosing an air or watercooling solution for your cpu the most important thing to look at is the TDP that the cooler can handle which will give you relative insight into what cpu that specific cooler can handle. I know that every company has different TDP specs and they are not 1:1 but it will give you an idea if the cooler you choose will be able to compensate for the heat per watt that the cpu is putting out.

Two things wrong-ish here. One, Austin should have avoided the Samsung NVMe drives based on the issues reported for them (yes I know there's a firmware update, but a new builder WILL NOT, period). Second is that Austin really should watch other folks video's, like for instance Hardware Unlimited's just posted video stating that the CL rating and speed of the DDR5 memory you choose, especially in an AM5 build like this one, really does matter, by quite a bit honestly. Other than these two guffaws, decent job of presenting a build video. Just do a bit more research before doing this and you'll be golden Austin.

I will point out he bought a 980 pro. The issue was in a specific firmware version from 2021 (3Bxxx). The Samsung drives manufactured last year (I believe they stated they switched to 4Bxxx in January of 2022) are not affected. If someone went out today to do a build and bought a 980 pro, then they are almost certain to be on a newer firmware. I bought 8x 2tb 980 Pro's back in November and I also checked 4 from back in Aug. All of them were already on 5Bxxx. I had 2 friends check theirs (I built their new pc's back in April/May) and they were on 4Bxxx. Avoiding all Samsung drives for an issue is on a specific version of firmware on 2 specific models is a little extreme. He should have mentioned it though. At least telling people to check the firmware if they buy 990 or 980 Pro (even if they chances of being on that firmware now is extremely slim for the 980 models ) would have been nice to see. On the RAM and AMD, I agree. AMD is proving to be very RAM timing specific and he should have at least mentioned it and directed people to look into it. CL timing is really less important then other secondary times on RAM, but for new builders, they can see the CL speed on the RAM box, the other timings are a little deep to understand for a newcomer. That was my issue with his video. He didn't do any timing tightening to test. I would have like to see if the issue really is the CL speed or if it is something else that could maybe be corrected though tweeking one ore more of the secondary timings.

U spent more time talking about cases than u did cpu and motherboard combined. U just "brushed" over the importance of making sure the cpu and motherboard are compatible,but said nothing about what the differences are. "Pick a cpu and a motherboard" shouldn't be the extent of the information on a "how to build" video

[@deanteechtinaw2547]

do they have there own store or sumin hes makes so meny pcs

[@Maypilli]

This is fkin ridiculous, i bought every single part exactly like you wrote there, and the Lian Li Galahad 240mm RGB Water Cooling Kit still don't fit my motherboard. The worst is that the part you used is nowhere to be found, i looked on the website that you offered, and they don't ship. So, what is the point of making people believe you are building a PC with the parts they can also "get" if the parts are not available. Just making everyone waist their money and damn time. The idea was to buy everything you said and build the PC with your instructions, but here we are, you giving me parts that don't fit and me falling from it.

[@JJFlores197]

lmfao. That's what we call PEBKAC. Think about it. If the parts wouldn't fit, then how was he able to build the computer???

[@O-deV]

Did you solve this issue?

[@rynja5765]

is $1700 enough to make a good gamin PC?

[@Jl-qg5xz]

That’s more than enough lol

[@complexcat9531]

bruh i dont evan have a laptop bro is building a 2000$ pc

[@4n9e11]

Gonna build a pc on sunday gonna be using this vid 🤝

[@pedrojavierish]

There's definitely no way in hell i could build a gaming pc by myself, at least i 100% know now. Gotta stick with console gaming i guess from now.

[@SheLuvsBlikz]

I’m a really big fan is there way u would give away a pc I’m trying to make some content but I don’t have the budget to upgrade

[@TheMysteriousGamerYTOG]

Hey @austinevans I am currently picking out components for my dream pc ; I have everything except the CPU Cooler. Can You Please Recommend a Cooler For The 12th and 13th gen Intel Processors as i'm struggling to find a good one on the net. TIA

[@HazelAdams-m8f]

just finished my first build today! everything is working as it should and all the components have that new part smell, it's amazing, the chasis, CPU, GPU, Mobo, PSU, all of it, just amazingly put together! thank you so much for this guide, and with certain AM4/5 Air coolers, it has been a bit of a challenge to line it all up when the Motherboard was installed into the Chasis.

[@billramsay7351]

recommends a 7700x for gaming, not the 13600k, this is why I don't subscribe.

[@Vert9ix]

how well would this pc preform i thinking of copying all of the parts listed on this video

[@PaperRoute4Life]

Like watching sports, I rather play. But this is the only time where I need all the info before I even enter the game (so to speak).

[@AEONIC_MUSIC]

About to start my build, although I'm thinking of clean black look so going for another case and cooler also from Australia 🇦🇺

[@OKnows954]

First PC building video i've watched, and I can say I've learned a TON. I have a 1yr old 3070Ti pre-build and I know NOTHING about it. This has helped tremendously and I can now say I'm confident enough to maintain things myself. Time to binge watch the previous years! 😆

[@ibroughtaturbo-chargerfrom667]

Me bussing with a 2009 Sony Vaio VPCEB32FM with a Intel Pentium P6100, 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 Ram....💀 And playing Team Fortress 2...🤣🤣

[@GiGi-iu4vo]

I already knew how to do it but I like your vid

[@jakobstengard3672]

I remember back when you had IDE cables, PC speaker, soundcards and all of this other bullshit to plug in. I had 32 MB ram in my first PC, and 8 Gb hdd. It was great because you do full install on all games. No need to run of the CDROM.

[@JJFlores197]

Yep. And people still think PCs are super complicated to build. If only they knew... We have plug and play and USB whereas back then it was more like plug and pray.

[@danmiao-hg7yt]

i am a little comfused, like how do you put in those cables for the psu, what do you need for your pc,

[@kryptokoda]

Hey umm what you gona do with that pc hmmm... a giveaway? like a give it away to me please....

[@shravanplayz689]

A 7900 XTX is better than 4070 ti, 4080 is the one that beats 7900 XTX

[@paulglover5801]

Been wanting to make a gaming pc for a while as a project. How much gpu do I need to be fairly future proof? Hoping for 4K but gaming only not streaming.

[@starplatinum1222]

Honestly you shouldn't build high end computers because it is clearly harder to build a budget PC as the GPUs and CPU are hard to pick when u have a limited budget

[@jordankay8578]

I'm a 33 yo mom who use to build pcs when I was pregnant 10 years ago. And my brain does not remember crap. Now the child I was pregnant with! Is begging to get a gaming pc. But I cannot remember a damn thing expect how to not get electrocuted. Lol. Isn't it interesting that the kid I was pregnant with while building pcs. Is now into pc gaming ans wanted to build her own at 10. Like everything I did she absorbed while she was inside of me and I forgot a good chunk.

[@jordankay8578]

Watching this video a lot of it is coming back. I think I could do it.

[@samrapper3821]

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Windforce OC - 8GB GDDR6 [Refurbished] asrock a320m hdv r4.0 and ryzen 5 2600 my system can support that graphics card sir?

[@Devonte_tshwanii]

"More like 3 cm of the floor"💀

[@thesteppers2579]

May have missed this, but what was the approximate total cost of this build?
