JayZ, I know all what you just "explained". But a beginner would still be baffled with all the technical terms you used. You didn't explain what the x16 and x8 on the PCIe slots mean; you didn't explain what dual, triple and quad channel DIMM mean; you mentioned RAID, but didn't explain what it means; you didn't explain the difference between a 87 and 97 chipset motherboard; .... Far too vague. I know what you're talking about. People who assemble their own pc understand you. But the people you're adressing here, the beginners, don't understand squat.

[@martinkuliza]

Exactly

[@Simalacrum]

Beginner trying to gather info to build my first PC here, I'm a COMPLETE tech noob and it seems almost impossible to find videos explaining the basic of basics in PC building. Wtf is a DIMM anyway? I barely know what RAM is.

[@STR33TSofJUST1C3]

Simalacrum RAM is random access memory. In short, it's used to store active tasks you're pc is running at the moment. The average home pc would occupy about 1.5GB of background tasks on this RAM, to give you an overview. RAM modules are 13 cm long (the newest DDR4, though) and they fit into the DIMM slots located on the top right. DIMM stands for Dual in-line memory module. That's about all you need to know about that. Truth be told, I learned pc building by self-exploration. I never read anything online, never watched a video. I just looked up parts, tinkered with my ancient Pentium which had a Windows 98, and I got the basics. I'm still learning, though. Assembling a PC can be as quick as 30 minutes, but there's still a lot of technical stuff, such as server related stuff, I know very little of.

[@martinkuliza]

Simalacrum Exactly right mate the best way to learn is self exploration and playing around with them and making mistakes if you have any questions that you need answered about anything let me know i started out just like you

[@randomus3r32]

+Martin Kuliza +STR33TSofJUST1C3 so as the two of you seem to be into all that stuff and you just offered me to ask some questions here i am. 1. PCIe x16 and x8 didn't realy get what the difference is, by now i only read about PCI Express x16 (3.0 Ivy Bridge or something) slots that are used to put my graphics card in. What i know other PCI slots are used for w-lan cards etc. 2. i know RAMs have clock rate (is it called that in english?) but i don't know how to figure out what max. clock rate for RAM the motherboard supports (can i find it without having to google it seperately every time?) 3. just for clarification dual channel means that i have to run 2 of the same RAMs in that channel and the channels are for example on a board with 4x DIMM slots slot 1 and 3 -> channel 1 slot 2 and 4 -> 2 (usually colored different :D -> yes i am a complete newbie) 4. to proof i am completly stupid why do some call it main- the others motherboard is it the same :P? Thank you for taking time to read through this and answering my questions. Sry for my bad english btw. i don't know much about this either expecially how to use these thing -> " ,,,,,,,," .

[@cedricmassigoge8328]

You raised more questions than answered

[@thetydraulicpress]

Which motherboard? If your talking about this one www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130093 . It's designed to fit the advanced Intel Pentium 4 processor

[@NLsmurfje09]

I want to get a i7 6700k but i dont know what motherboard i should get, the asus maximus viii ranger or the msi gaming m5 or maby another one i realy dont know

[@thetydraulicpress]

They're both almost the same but the MSI Gaming M5 Motherboard is more recent and updated compared to the Asus Maximus Vii Ranger. The BIOS makes it a terrific overclocking board if you every want to overclock. It also has a much more cleaner look. Hope this helped.

[@NLsmurfje09]

+H3artattac I just bought the ranger :s stil think it we be realy good for my needs :)

[@cedricmassigoge8328]

+H3artattac im getting the z170 gaming 3, is it a good choice?

[@Jayztwocents]

Yep. Once again I accidentally called the USB 3 ports PCIE ports. Maybe I am just really wishing that one day we will have external GPUs that are mainstream :-D

[@yoochoobb]

2:50 Z77 is the LGA 1155 socket, Ivy Bridge. 1156 was Clarkdale. BTW (off-topic), I liked your AR-15 build.

[@larrykozlowski6305]

Was just about to comment about that xD PCIe 3.0 slots would be awesome in the future tho (Tiny pc with an sli-box)

[@MrKyRoNn]

6:10 almost gave me a heart attack...X_X

[@nextlifeonearth]

You forgot covering the IO for CPU mother boards with iGPUs. Not that any gamer actually uses those....

[@JakeBacon1990]

Hey Jay, could you create a separate playlist for how to buy videos please?, would be really useful :D

[@Pan_Z]

Instructions not vivid enough. DDR4 jammed into PCI Express x16 slot. Surprising working

[@Pan_Z]

***** Success

[@tomfarrell1933]

+Pan Z No way, does it actually work lol?

[@williaamlarsson]

+Tom Farrell god no, please don't try it haha

[@jameshogge]

RAM runs on ~1.5V and the PCI-E port supplies 12V. Good luck using that DIMM again :P

[@Pan_Z]

James Hogge Once again, surprisingly working

[@Rickbearcat]

This video left me more confused than when I got here.

[@Rickbearcat]

+William “Billden55” Burgoon Thanks. For instance, what is a front side bus? What is a CMOS? What is SATA? What is M.2 and can it eliminate the storage in a computer? What is a PCI express 3.0 ports and what are they used for? What is a BIOS reset and why is that important? What are the round gold things for on the I/O shield? This looks like a very premium motherboard and more than exceeds my needs. What model of this board has all of its features but backs off on having so many of them? Like give me only two or three of each item so it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.

[@makemeajmod]

+Rickbearcat as a new Comer to all this I found myself lost and alone but just Googled what I didn't understand and there you have it knowledge my friend

[@Rickbearcat]

makemeajmod I think part of my problem is watching too many videos and not enough reading with diagrams. People doing videos don't explain things too well.

[@TheJerzyslugga]

me too im bummed out now thought i was starting to understand this pc building thing lol smh...

[@me_ef]

+Rickbearcat sounds like your new to knowing the details. Id recommend searching the basic stuff from other channels. Newegg TV, Linus Tech Tips (My Recommendation), Austin Evans, Barnacules, Awesome Sauce Network, Pauls Hardware, etc...Jay does an amazing job at explaining everything, but I'm sure hes not going to baby step every details in every video. Check his early stuff, or like Makemeajmod said, Google, doesn't hurt to learn more. I always jot down bits n pieces stuff i dont know then either youtube it or google to get a better understanding. Good Luck n Happy Building. :)

[@KyleticChannel]

its hard to hear jay talk about a closed loop cooler when a second later you see skunkworks in the background...

[@Rickity2345]

Pretty easy for me

[@Jayztwocents]

But I am running a Nepton 280L in my second PC :)

[@KyleticChannel]

***** oh yeah tell me more about how you have two powerful pc's jay...

[@Jayztwocents]

Then I won't tell you about my third....

[@Azivegu]

***** ow come on, now you are just gloating xD

[@Seif97ify]

All I gotta do now is google every term you just used.

[@alexquinn3594]

same lol

[@lethn2929]

This video has overcomplicated things to the extreme as I've become used to when I search up technical stuff on components, I know this is really late, but if anybody happens to find this comment: Buying compatible computer components is not as difficult as you think, all that you need to do is look up your motherboard and match up the different numbers to each other, so in regards to CPU as this was the main focus on this video when you look up a motherboard that states it is compatible with LGA1151 on it that means that you can only use CPU's that have the LGA1151 number on, you can't slot in LGA1150 or any other variant unless it says so, so if you had a motherboard with LGA1151 and LGA1150 support that means CPU's with these little ID letters and numbers will work on that motherboard. I hope that makes sense, as the video was made in 2014 I'll do a little RAM explanation for clarity as this threw me off as well, when searching for a motherboard and you want to put some RAM in check the type the motherboard supports, there are three types of RAM I know of for desktop computers now and there only used to be two people used, DDR2 and DDR3 but now we've got DDR4 and there are motherboards that only support DDR4 so you will not be able to put DDR2 RAM for example in a motherboard that can only cope with DDR4. This is exact but all you need to do is check the id numbers and types off and you'll be absolutely fine, if you're not sure, then you'll be better off letting somebody more experienced do it, I hope this helps, I don't think the guy actually explained the basics at all and simply started listing off parts as if everybody would understand what he was on about.

[@Surkimus]

This really isn't useful for newcomers like myself. What the heck chipset means on the mobo specs? RAM channels... u wot m8??? PCI-E 2.0 8 16 3.0 generation blah blah -- MY BRAINS ARE MELTING PLS STOP.

[@slimshadythe111]

get rekt i suppose

[@Surkimus]

Kureiji Otaku Nah, already found a better video. Thanks for the encouragement though.

[@MPT-io8ml]

+Joonas Yliaho The LGA 1150 have 1150 pins in the socket that's why it's called LGA 1150. Intel names their chipset by exactly how many pins it have.

[@Surkimus]

From what I understand, LGA1150 (for example) refers to the socket thingy, while chipset is whole another deal. Like, how am I supposed to know if Z170, Z97, H81 or H97 etc. is compatible with the CPU I'm thinking of buying. Does it even matter in the end? From a quick research, it does, but not necessarily every time... it's so goddamn confusing to me.

[@MPT-io8ml]

+Joonas Yliaho it really isn't that hard. Just see if what motherboard chipset it is for example AM3+. The fx-8320 is a AM3+ CPU so I know that these two are compatible.

[@coolcrum98]

I would like to thank you for these awesome informative and fun videos that I watch weekly you're a great guy.

[@Jayztwocents]

Thanks Chase :)

[@jon-uj1sn]

i got a four minute ad before this video it better be worth the wait

[@martinkuliza]

Use ADBLOCK PLUS add on in y our browser and avoid the ad

[@jon-uj1sn]

Adblock is for weebs and i think that youtubers deserve revenue from ads on their videos.

[@martinkuliza]

Nostromo so do i. but you were the one that complained about the ad i just offered a solution that's all

[@martinkuliza]

b1ldin bee who are you talking to ? me, or Nostromo ?

[@martinkuliza]

b1ldin bee given your last 2 comments, i gathered that by now, thanks i think it's best we leave it at that.

[@wills8288]

I wish you had shown an actual spec of a motherboard and the critical parameters you need to match with the CPU and memory. As well, onboard video is important to distinguish when selecting the right motherboard. People might buy a motherboard incorrectly with integrated video chips or a CPU with integrated video when they want to build a gaming machine with dedicated PCI video card. Cheers

[@lepiten09]

what is this guy talking about lol ... i thought this is for beginners hahaha

[@chilfghfh1949]

I don't know much about computers, but here we go. When picking a cpu you'll have to check if it's compatible with your mobo (motherboard.) " How? " you may ask.. find a mobo you want. Look for a tag, mine is lga 1151, now look for a cpu with a lga 1151 tag in it. This means they are compatible. Your ram, if you check your mobo it will say Ram: (A Bunch of numbers ending with MHz) then DDR1, 2, 3; 4. Mhz means it's speed, and DDR x means it type. If your mobo supports DDR4 2666Mhz and that only, you'll have to find that certain speed and type. (Always have 2x4, 2x8, 2x16 etc because having two sticks of ram makes it more powerful, This is called dual channel. I don't know that much more, but I'll tell you this. A motherboard can say Micro, Mini etc ATX. This means you need a micro etc case.

[@obujbalok766]

yes,right man....hahahah

[@chilfghfh1949]

@piolpo Piovanna Ah alright, my bad. Thanks :)

[@harujioncom]

I've been out of the computer technoloop for a good while (5+ years). I've been looking to build my own new gaming/work PC and been looking at a whole bunch of graphic card and motherboard specs and the difference between them all. Slowly figuring out what 'generally' does what with no real in-depth. Thankfully, this video has explained most my lingering questions and answered questions I didn't even have yet! Very well done Jay :)

[@megabojan1993]

Let me ask you this. If the motherboard is covered with dust, wouldn't that make it a dustboard?

[@XMansive]

+MegaBojan1993 If your mother was on a board, wouldn't that make her a motherboard?

[@megabojan1993]

XMansive Hahaha you're a funny guy :)

[@XGamingStormX]

+XMansive nope it would be a mother on a board

[@hippocratesm.d.1543]

Sounds like my algebra professor, says it's easy but is actually confusing me more than the book 😂😂😭😭

[@spliffi869]

Haha accidentally stumbled upon this when trying to find out where the PPID is located on my mainboard and subscribed - competent advice on motherboards and entertaining moderation. Keep up the good work!

[@KingSalt]

You say 'beginners guide' however I didn't understand most of that. Personally, I feel, if I feel that I have to search what the stuff you have said means, then the purpose of the video was not met.

[@cyberbeast44]

iHEX if you haven't done the basic googling about PC's and don't know what it means you shouldn't be watching the video

[@KingSalt]

Eventhough the title is a 'Beginners Guide' meaning it should include the stuff which you say to Google and explain stuff better including not using too technical terminology. P.S. I understand better through videos which is why I watched this video hoping to understand P.S.S. I can't even remember exactly what happened in this video, since it was some time ago 😊

[@cyberbeast44]

iHEX ok sounds good sorry for getting all ramped up about something stupid so fast. Good luck with your PC build

[@KingSalt]

CanadianMapleGamer OK and cheers 😊

[@williammoore1917]

pcpartpicker.com/ This site is very good for new builders as it checks for part compatibility and will tell you if something has a potential conflict. You may still need to search youtube tech channels for some basic computer part terms explanations to make sense of all the options, but the site also includes some build guides and some recommended builds.

Thanks so much for this guide however could you do an updated version? Thanks!

[@aethertech]

Jay, do a mini-itx build. Go as small as possible! But it's gota have a kick! And run cool. Because mini-itx builds are cool :D

[@commentator3513]

linus did that already

[@pokemonmaster201212]

For my first build I kinda just chose cheapest. It worked pretty well for what I wanted! I got the MSI B150M pro gaming micro ATX.

[@navkharoud]

Gigabyte z170 gaming 3 and i5 6600k how many years will this last for me?

[@martinkuliza]

that's impossible to determine accurately i mean, it's a good board and a good cpu but seriously it could be 3 years it could be 10 years, it could 1 month if you're really really happy to get a dud it's electronics mate you pick the best one that suits your needs and you roughly gauge how long IT SHOULD LAST my opinion would be, you should get 3 years out of it, safely but again, there is no definitive way to judge because, beyond the electrical circuit design of the board and the cpu there is - Where will you use it - How will you use it - How likely is it that accidents will happen and so on it's almost impossible to predict accurately

[@navkharoud]

I just want it to be good for like 4 years and i do take real good care of my stuff I am not gonna be doing OCing very much just slight tho

[@martinkuliza]

Brown Boi well. you SHOULD BE ok but again, we are dealing with electrical components you could buy it and could last you a week like i said there is no real way to tell definitely but then again if it fucks up in a week, you have warranty so, i suppose you are guaranteed 1 year

[@martinkuliza]

DynamixHD oh ok genius i'll stop RIGHTING bullshit and i'll learn some grammar, because i'm the one RIGHTING too much and i guess i shouldn't be RIGHTING this much should i i guess i'll focus on my RIGHTING grammar because your RIGHTING is much better that my RIGHTING and i guess you have the right to tell people what to do idiot

[@JgHaverty]

No point discussing VRM section, heat sinks on the vrm/NB/SB, capacitor quality, or power phase?

[@phuzionisgay4536]

+JgHaverty we'd assume it isn't a pile of potato reformed to mobo

[@JgHaverty]

+Phuzion Gaming except many mother boards are not designed or capable of over clocking most chipsets. if you own an amd or k series processor, these things should be paramount to your decision.

[@phuzionisgay4536]

JgHaverty should say OC when you look at it on newegg or amazon or whatever you look at if not you can manage a bit of research, can you not?

[@JgHaverty]

Phuzion Gaming youre an idiot. For AM3+ sockets, the fx processors are absolute pigs and REQUIRE high power phase and nice vrm's, even for some stock clock processors (name the 8 cores). For example, an m5a97 LE r2.0 claims to have "overclocking capability", but is in fact a piece of absolute shit, and stock clocked 8 core fx chips will toast that mother board (I fried two of them and sent them back for refunds until I figured out "hey, maybe I shouldn't get a piece of shit motherboard"). They have all these "claims" but have 4 phase power and shitty VRM's. clearly you haven't bought many computer parts, nor have much experience in the AMD or K series world if you think a motherboard saying "OC" on the box is enough.

[@phuzionisgay4536]

calm down mane ive never bilt a computer im building my first this thursday heres spec sheet, tell me what im missing or what needs to be changed pcpartpicker.com/p/mqvJK8

[@da133993]

This video is still relevant. Thanks Jay. Plus it is fun to see you talking about the future and watching it in the future for the first time.

[@kakrama2]

I just got in this PC building stuff in 2018 and this video already 4 years old. What's change? Any update of the information I need to know about motherboard? OR, this video still valid in 2018?

[@agentstepp]

[@MiaMikaelaaaa]

I have no clue what your talking got confused at minute 3, ( really newb with theys )

[@Minemac69]

rupeaa puhumaan eri piirisarjoista emolevyissä ja prosessorikannoista. Myös siitä, että prosessori kannattaa valita ennen ermolevyn valitsemista.

[@Minemac69]

Z-sarjan emolevyt ovat ns. ylikellotusemolevyjä, eli jos ostat esimerkiksi intelin K- prosessorin, kannattaa myös ostaa Z- piirisarjallinen emolevy. Koska tuo K- noissa intelin prosessoreissa tarkoittaa lukitsematonta kerroinlukemaa(Ghz/Mhz lukemaa), eli siis sitä (prosessoria) voi ylikellottaa halutessaan paremman suorituskyvyn saamiseksi. Eli Ghz/Mhz lukemaa nostetaan isommaksi.

[@Minemac69]

ja jos et osta Intelin -K sarjan prosessoria, et tarvitse myöskään Z-piirisarjan emolevyä

[@jojojojo-yi6wb]

minemac69 Grammar please!

[@Crackmandan]

My question is will they ever simplify the motherboards jumper situation? Isn't it about time they simplified how you plug in all your power LEDs and junk?

[@zizimugen4470]

I beg to differ with you on which is the most important component to start with when building a computer. A CPU should be the second choice, and the motherboard should be first. The motherboard, with respect to video output, is the way that the user interacts with the computer, specifically the I/O. If you know how you're going to interact with your computer, as in how many peripherals and accessories, network needs, USB Type-C accessories, eSATA drives, audio speakers, m.2 slots, etc., then that's a guide for the I/O features you want. Further specificity of features can be made deeper in a search. But choosing interaction features first will still present people with the platforms to choose from, like Z170, X99, etc.

[@elbaiad9407]

i really dont understand what he means when he says "2 ram slots per channel", it sounds confusing

[@pRopaaNS]

It's literally what it means, each RAM channed have 2 slots for RAM sticks. The difference is that if you have one fillled and one empty slot in same channel means that the channel won't run at full efficiency, resulting in worse RAM performance. So you're better off buying 2 smaller ram sticks to fill a channel than buying a single big one. The channels are color coded, the same color stands for same channel.

[@AlejandroLopez-ns9ve]

Androynoel-he’s talking about the memory type

[@fernandaflores8558]

Do I need a z170 motherboard in order to overclock my gpu?

[@shingngaling4357]

no

[@shingngaling4357]

+Tomuś Osika. X99 and btw, there's a bios that can oc your cpu. It's a bit risky though

[@tomekosika9584]

sorry, i thought he was speaking about cpu and x99 is out of most people's budgets xD

[@shingngaling4357]

Hahaha sure thing :D

[@blinky450]

No, but cheaper motherboards tend to overheat and overclock badly as they have worse heat sinks, and these small thingies called VRMs around the CPU can overheat, causing crashes.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

To make everything even more confusing, if you go with used motherboards, you're likely to run into issues with "proprietary" setups. I screwed up with my recent project and got a used motherboard that uses a "proprietary front panel setup" that makes it difficult to power it on without the original front panel. As well, some models of the motherboard I ordered have non-standard power connectors so you have to use the "proprietary" power supply or repin the power connector. I haven't received that motherboard yet so I don't 100% know if it's one of those I have to repin the power supply connector (hopefully not). However, the specs on the board are really nice for the price. Everything should be arriving today (except the CPU which should be arriving tomorrow), so I will know soon enough if I'm going to have to be annoyed.

[@MeepMeep88]

Wish you went to Newegg.. Picked a few motherboards... Tell us what to "ctrl + f" for and see if it's compatible with our processor. THEN start this video lol

[@AlejandroLopez-ns9ve]

😂😂😂😂

[@TalhaBedir]

Motherboards are sexist let's call'em "parentboards"

[@HiTechDiver]

Good refresher for the CompTIA A+ Hardware class I took a while back. Thanx!

[@ManLikeHenners]

I'm still confused. I want to build a crazy PC and can't work out if i should go for z97 or x99. What's the difference between the x99 asus deluxe and the rampage v extreme?

[@eliseomontero4958]

See what one card has, and what the other doesnt, or what would fit in and what would not. Go to pcpartpicker.com and fit in both with your other parts, and see if it's compatible or not.

[@ManLikeHenners]

If that was answering my question, you quite clearly can't read as your answer had absolutely no relevance.

[@thatonerussian5875]

Henry Edwards maybe if you could read and not offend someone who actually helped you

[@ManLikeHenners]

He didn't help me at all lol. Hence why I offended.

[@thatonerussian5875]

well maybe if you followed his advice.

[@TheMatthewDMerrill]

What is a channel? I see 8 ram slots but 4 light color and 4 darker color?

[@Ezio1026]

Normally 1 is a color and the next is a different color, 3rd ram slot is 1st color and 4th is the 2nd ram slot color. You want to put them into ports 1 and 3 to have dual channel ram.

[@TheMatthewDMerrill]

Drew S What benefits does it have?

[@Ezio1026]

Matt Merrill You want to have one in 1 and 3

[@TheMatthewDMerrill]

So If I only have 2 ram cards, then I would put it in slot 1 and 3?

[@gabem5340]

+Matt Merrill yea...

[@Jackiemoonlifts]

The reason I’m posting this question in this videos comments is because I believe something is wrong with my motherboard. Everything on my pc that I built works except for the display and USB ports. Really appreciate a response and hopefully a fix to this problem.

[@zenniz1992]

If you have a graphic card installed, you need to use the graphic card's display port.

[@masterracegaming9494]

Ok so my build Xeon 1231v3 970 Cx750w 8gb crucial ballistic sport ram 1tb was caviar blue had Corsair 200r What mobo do u guys sugest ? For that build

[@giovanniivan]

MasterRaceGaming way xeon ?

[@masterracegaming9494]

Because it's the equivalent to an i7 4790 for £70 less

[@giovanniivan]

MasterRaceGaming its not i7 is slightly better but yea i understand this one is cheper mostly cos don't have iGPU (cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1231V3-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4790)... anyway its using FCLGA1150 so any h97 will do ... dont go whit z97 cos that line is made for oc mostly and thers no use for that cpu. btw its 70 pounds defrents between E3-1231 v3 and i7 4790k not normal i7 4790 cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1231V3-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4790K ... anyway is still nice cpu ... gl m8

[@giovanniivan]

MasterRaceGaming in case you wanted specific mbo go whit Asus H97-PLUS ... your cpu is on list of that mbo support it on official asus site and you can find it here www.asus.com/Motherboards/H97PLUS/HelpDesk_CPU/ ... hope it helped you

[@masterracegaming9494]

Thanks also ur wrong about that i7 and CPU boss and gpu boss is a load of shit don't trust that there nvidia and Intel fanboys they don't like xeons cause they think there server CPUs only also watch some reviews if u think the 4790 non k version is better it's not just that Xeon with and ipu

[@simonolthenorwegian]

Did he say "Zpu... That's kinda coolant" ? xD

[@MasonVanderpool]

Kinda wish you covered (or will cover) caps and vrms, most people don't know how important they are in overclocking. I know that solid state caps are standard, but still haha. Either way, awesome video, Jay. Rock on.

do you know what size your case can fit? extended atx, atx, micro atx, mini itx? what price range were you looking for? do you prefer any brand? basically the i5 6500 has an lga 1551 connector. so any lga 1151 board will work. also, any video card within the past five years is going to be universally compatible with any similarly aged motherboard. one thing to look out for is ram though. if you've already bought some whether it's ddr3 or ddr4 you will need to match your motherboard with that. www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100007627%20600567584%204017%204026%204027%20600009016%20600009017

[@JackPepal357]

Tomas Sviridovas use pc part picker

[@timcotton2350]

That's an LGA-1151 socketed CPU. If you use PCParticker, or any of the major retailer's websites (Newegg, etc), there will be filters for selecting components to ensure compatibility. A single GTX 960 means you could use an ATX (standard size), Micro-ATX (same width, shorter height, and no more than 5 expansion slots), or Mini-ITX (smallest common motherboard size, only one expansion slot and usually only 2 memory slots). The size of the case then comes into play.

+JayzTwoCentsJay, Mate, I'm a computer engineer, ok Now... where do I begin, how about like this......I'm going to do my best to not be rude.. ok, but seriously mate, Your targeting BEGINNERS on this video, so my advice for the future get rid of techspeak such as SATA, USB, GEN, SSD etc, for guys like you and me, this is obvious, for beginners, they haven't got a clue what this means. look at the forum, people are more confused now that when they arrived. now my biggest thing is this you seriously worried about dropping the board ???HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOUR HOLDING IT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HELD. HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU TOUCHED IT TO THAT NICE WARM WOOLY JACKET OF YOURS that I'm sure is just chock full of ESD. now.. ok, ok, if you're not going to use the board, fair enough, it doesn't matter, but the point is YOUR PROJECTING TO A BEGINNER THAT IT'S OK TO HOLD THEIR BOARD LIKE THIS WHEN THEY TAKE IT OUT OF THE BOX and.. Please, do not reply by saying it is ok I hope you have more sense than that and that you were merely holding the board the way you were for display purposes SO. LET ME NOW CLARIFY TO ALL THE BEGINNERS ARE FEW THINGS YOU FAILED TO DO BEGINNERS GUIDE TO WHAT JAY JUST SAID(NOTE - I ORIGINALLY TRIED POSTING 1 POST, BUT..

[@remus2226]

mranosh007 That is maybe incorrect because the parts havent been picked of the website itslef, they have been manually entered so the website doesnt know wich product i am talking about.

[@remus2226]

mranosh007 No problem, atleast you try to anwser to my question.

[@ThatGreatGuyJesus]

Tom Harris Yup pretty sure it is.. Although I think the i5 4690k only supports 1600mhz ram, but if you're getting the maximum vii ranger you should be able to oc the ram to 1866mhz in the BIOS I do think 16gb ram is slightly overkill, but I suppose you'll never be short of memory lol

[@ThatGreatGuyJesus]

Oh, & also, I think I'd personally go for the MSI GTX 970 twin frozr, the 980 may be a bit more powerful, but I think the 970 is better for the money

[@ThatGreatGuyJesus]

Jesus Init Either go cheaper with the gtx 970 or splash out & get an MSI GTX 980ti If you're playing at 1080p the 970 will run perfectly, if you're going 4k I dont think the 970 or 980 would play all games on ultra, the 980ti however....

Hi Jay. I've been a lurker for a while and I really enjoy your stuff. I like the way you don't make it sound boring or "talk down" to us newbies. I appreciate that. I can and have built my own computers, but do tend to have questions sometimes. Like this one for example: Of course it's a stupid one, but I have tons of stuff on my HD, so I'm wanting to know how to (if possible) build my new system and just take my HD out to this one and put it on the new one. Is this a thing? Oh and btdubs, you gots a subs. Cheezy as hell I know. Thanks.

I understand the specs and features, I wanna take my knowledge beyond that - talk about the stuff these boards are made of and why some last longer than others - who uses the best materials? who uses the best design? what should I look for after I decide on my CPU and my feature set? I don't want my motherboard to fail 1 year in or 2 years in, I want it to last as long as my CPU does.

[@adz201]

I love your water cooled builds very nice.

[@KTSpeedruns]

I knew a bit about motherboards before, and I feel like not editing out the errors or doing retakes (like calling USB ports PCI express slots) is going to confuse newer builders.

[@PaulSebastianM]

Some things that have changed since 2014 and are like the new things to look for when buying a nextgen motherboard: New U.2 ports Newer revision USB 3.1 ports DDR4 Type-C USB connectors (just for cable convenience) The disappearance of legacy I/O: SATA2, M.2 to a degree (seems better suited to embedded applications now), SATA3 to a degree (there are still slower devices out there), USB2.0, PS/2 ports. This is my personal opinion.

[@Supermason3000]

Now, with replacing the motherboard, what else would need to be replaced with the motherboard to make the PC work? I am looking to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 660 motherboard, so I can upgrade the memory to roughly 24 or 32GB of Ram. I am looking to purchase a MDI-Z370 or MSI-Z370 SLI Plus motherboard. I do video editing and play games from time to time on my computer but mostly video editing and need more memory to speed up the processing of my videos and would like to know exactly everything needed to replace the motherboard.

Great video 👍🏼 This is the kind of video budding PC builders (and old hacks 😅) need to understand the basics. Too often, tech channels focus on videos that go way over some people’s ability to comprehend as they deal with it constantly and assume everyone is “up to speed” with all the new products. Other great video prima topics would be how SATA port allocation is affected by M.2 use, how PCIe slot lane allocation is affected by populating all those slots, etc. Keep em coming Jayz 👍🏼

Fast, but not as fast as my laptop that smokes Lightroom!I had originally picked out the Z270-A with i7 6700K and 32 GB of RAM. I am not going to overclock the system. Going with a video card as well. Looking at the GTX 1060 with a 650 PSU. I just ordered a Corsair Full Tower, so room will not be a problem. Any help you can throw my way would be most appreciated.

Shocker a newbie stumbled on this right? lol. New to this PC build thing. I am in marketing and doing a lot of content creating, photo editing, and I occasionally venture into some minimal video editing (not a big gamer, so that is not a focus). I have decided I am going to go with an Intel i7-8700k (unless you recommend AMD/AMD Motherboard as a better option?). My questions: 1. Do you have any recommendations for motherboards < $200 that would be perfect for what I am trying to accomplish, preferably an ITX? *Reason I am going with the Intel is because from my research it sounds like it performs better with programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. Do I have it wrong?
