Don't Buy or Build a Gaming PC Until You Watch This Video! SIW 1 Year Anniversary Special: Part 1

[@mysticflyy4260]

Happy 1 Year Anniversary Braethorn! Very informative and entertaining! I really do like how you give viewers the straight up *You don't need a BEAST to game at 1440p)* More people need to hear it in the back rows. Loved the vid! LGN

[@seanmenza3378]

Happy 1 year! You absolutely killed this video! I loved everything about this video... even the length hehehe... I'm looking forward to the new content ideas coming down the pipeline. LGN!!!

[@charlesburris6314]

One year down, countless more to go. Congratulations on your continued success. Have a great day!

[@luckydog19988]

Great video St. Braethorn! (noticed the halo effect over your head) I was fortunate enough to have your assistance on the stream. I am so thankful for your help in getting me into a great PC!

[@ixiwixi]

Happy 1 year Brae, I stumbled across you a few months ago and you're the only KZbinr that I will consistently watch every video/Twitch steam from. Keep up the great work...LGN!

[@ericmartinez4935]

As a person new to pc world.. you provided information that is very useful, but most importantly, easy to understand. Thank you.

[@RukiyaAlisha]

I don't know any of this stuff so thank you very much for taking the time to dummy it down! I appreciate you!

[@tyncam24]

Happy anniversary and thanks for the exceptional content.

[@fifcod4557]

Great video! Hopefully one day I get to the point where I understand about computers and all that shit as much as he does right now. I want to get a computer for gaming but I want to get to know more about it before I buy any random pc. I have a ps5 but I want to get into the pc world to try to get something better than what a ps5 can give me.

This may be considered a minor thing to look for but check the audio outputs of the motherboard. If you have 5.1 sound for your computer, make sure the motherboard supports it. Asus does, Gigabyte does not unless you have optical output. If you are playing games or want to stream with great sound it will be disappointing to find only one output jack on your board.

[@heldscissors4132]

I think that this video is very helpful for people who don't know that much about PCs who are looking to get a PC for themselves. Recently I had built both myself and my friend a budget PC for gaming but had i not known what i knew at that time he probably would've gotten ripped off by one of those companies that build PCs for you. (I had built a system that costed like ~650 but had all new parts and included both a mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse. We could've gone for a system by CLX that was 750 but had worse ram, psu, storage, and didn't even include either a mouse or keyboard despite literally being $100 more.)

Thanks and happy 1 year anniversary

The way we spec computers components need to change because of what’s coming. PSU and cooling need to be higher on the list from previous generations. 1. PSU - Needs to be given a bigger part of your budget. It’s not a glam part that is usually visible to anyone. The micro spikes that these components can cause will only become greater as we add more high end components. If you’re building you need to do the research into a better built, better spec’d psu. It makes zero sense to add all these high end video cards and hard drives and cpus without a great psu. So many folks spec the barest of minimum psu’s for their system. But will spend 3 times the amount on fans and a blinged out case. We need to remember that we aren’t Nvidia or Intel etc. We don’t have test benches with power conditioners to regulate power fluctuations so that it has zero noise or distortions. 2. Cooling - The difference between a 240 and a 280 is significantly bigger than the difference between a 280 and a 360. Bigger surface area translates to better cooling. 120mm x 240mm = 28800mm2 140mm x 280mm = 39200mm2 120mm x 360mm = 43200mm2 The price difference between 240 & a 280 is within $20-40 within the model family. 2b. Fans - Having 10 fans in case that has no airflow or non optimized fan intake/exhaust makes zero sense. KZbin has so many reviews for each case with these tests that have been already performed by reviewers. All you need to do is watch and setup accordingly. Good luck 🍀 to everyone ymmv !

[@aaronpirie1732]

Man I’m buying a prebuilt one and then I’m gonna be upgrading it myself. It seems a lot to take on just picking out parts and building a system. Il get there one day but baby steps for now.

[@KH-le5fx]

Interesting question about waiting to buy. For me it's not about the newest thing but the overall price. I live in the Northwest fairly close to Puget Systems and have been talking to them about buying another computer from them. I asked them directly about waiting to buy and the guy I was talking to said he would wait for a few months because they are beginning to see prices softening. (Imagine a PC builder/seller telling you to wait) What that means I'm not sure but since I'm not in a huge hurry, a couple of months to save a few bucks isn't a bad thing. It would be great to see you put together a video on waiting to buy a prebuilt PC or building one yourself. Maybe address it in terms of new components coming out as well as a softening of prices in the overall market. Throw in the crisis in the Ukraine and its overall effect on the market and you would have a heck of a video. Since I found your site a short while I've enjoyed your content. Thanks very much and keep it up. Happy anniversary by the way.

[@USMC444817]

Looking into getting a gaming PC this year, but nothing too insane. Budget is probably on the higher end for longevity of the machine, but I play a lot of older games that are beyond my laptop's capabilities. anything in the $1800 range, give or take one hundred or so. I appreciate the information you provide, and I will continue my research.

[@xeno23094]

happy 1 year brae, very good video as always, i commented late but i watched it the day it came out so dont worry, and also cover build redux they've improved in the budget department at least in my opinion

[@uwodu]

I'm new to PC gaming and I thank you so much for this video and your channel!!!

[@lorriejackson1591]

Happy 1yr Anniversary

[@xiariser-213]

I want to point out something that really got my attention with this guy. Nobody seems to understand Cam softwares, 3d modeling and rendering, and post processing code for tool paths. As a machinist and engineer, it is incredibly frustrating to do your job, when the computer lags and stutters and drops the image when you're rotating it 360°. Buying the top of the line "good" computers, and finding zero solutions to ease our specific issues. And this guy not only seems to get it, he even talks about it. And I never ever hear anyone address solid works or specific niche programs that are very common in the manufacturing industry. Just wanted to say, I appreciate the details.

[@flocklaurent4521]

ur channel is great, you deserve more attention.

[@raulcapellan3845]

I bought a abs pc for 900 and it has been a dream it has a 11400 with a gigabyte 3050 3 fan card 550 evga gold power supply and a b660 gigabyte motherboard I am very happy with the packaging of the pc and the parts choice for the price I am very pleased with the overall package since it also came with a nice mechanical keyboard and mouse for a grand total of 955 with free 2 day shipping

[@jgamez_ALLNITE]

Subscribing! Would really love a video on explaining pc parts

[@ManiacPriceTag]

Woot micro center Duluth 15mins 🎉🎉🎉

[@purelyjamaican]

The lighting is different in this video I like it

[@dmr778810]

I remember hearing once that "Unless you are going to build more than one computer a year, just buy a prebuilt one."

[@darsin7860]

Been enjoying your content keep up the good work

[@MichaelBrown-is2on]

Be nice to also touch on what you could upgrade later with systems you review. Like Hoplite intel you reviewed seemed good for 1080 gaming. You could touch on what you could upgrade in that system to make it better down road for budget guys. Take 3050 out put 3060 ti in etc...or whatever

[@afield9050]

so does this mean programs like doodly need way more ram and higher cpu??

[@nichorace2022]

I need help new to PC coming from console got a iBuyPower i3 gaming PC from pawn shop but it's lag alot on GTA RP but not on the offline mode wat do I need to upgrade

[@vinman2539]

Sorry, my bad. there were only a few models that were missing the surround sound outputs. Okay, I'm a dummy.

[@glitch5174]

How do I get into those streams where I could get 1 on 1 assistance? That sounds amazing

Im expecting to get a pc or mac. I want to game but I also want to create streaming content and postproduction. I’m a graphic designer/sfx editor. I like art programs on the Mac but I also want a gaming pc. Do I get a MacBook Pro and a pc to create a hybrid of some sort? Or should I pick one or the other? Budget is $6000+

[@guacfiend]

please please pt 2 !

[@colbyschlenker1746]

Is this a competent build for casual video editing (dji drone mostly) maybe a little gaming mostly for editing. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6GHz, RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3200, 1TB NVME, 650W Gold PSU Appreciate any help with this.

[@colbyschlenker1746]

Is this for real? Or just a scam didn’t know you had a giveaway for this video.

[@SomeoneNew42]

My First pc is going to be a big investment to my career choice. Editing, Gaming, Streaming, etc. I will come back on the day i get it and let you guys know how it feels to get one for the first time.

[@jermainematthews2476]

I’ve started my first pc build on my own at this time and now I feel bad after watching this video those questions where never on my mind I just wanted to play some games and now I’m stuck trying to figure out the right GPU to use with my i5 10400 no f 😔😔

[@commonsense-og1gz]

what res and hz are you running?

[@jermainematthews2476]

@@commonsense-og1gz I believe it’s only for 1080p

If you are doing home work 8 gigs of ram would be fine a i3 10100 non f.And Linux.

[@imrelampago]

Hi! How are you? I have between 2,000 to 3,000 dollars, what computer do you recommend? I don't want to pay overprice.

[@warrior3614]

Breathorn I love watching your videos they are great and I am trying to contact you to help me out with a PC build.

[@danieluorji]

It's understandable to want to get directly from these companies but many don't ship worldwide like amazon... we've got no choice really

[@beuxjmusic]

When you were talking about 'White Tax', and how white components often cost more, you said "It's a Supply and Demand thing.". However, KZbin threw an ad in the middle of that sentence, cutting out a syllable. Due to this, I heard you say "It'll cost a lot more, it's a [...] Man thing." Then, I nodded yes.

[@beuxjmusic]

Speaking of recommending subjectively enjoyable peripherals... I bought an OLED Switch a while back, and now I want OLED in everything... I really love the way it looks. I am looking forward to a time when OLED PC Monitors are more affordable, I really hope that day comes. I don't think I can justify spending thousands of dollars on a Monitor... If anything, I'd rather spend more on the brain than the face.

[@ZeroDarkTrezo]

I have questions, & I need answers, I’m a first time PC buyer, is there any way I can talk to you personally about this decision? Please respond.

[@braethorn]

I provide tons of info every week to help you make an informed decision and I also clearly state that you can get one on one help from me by coming to my streams. Stream schedule and link in the description :)

[@TheChillDeadpool]

Braethorn.. what would you recommend for buying a gaming PC Like witch website like for custom pre-built? Also is it worth going to a micro center instead? Also what would the best website for PC's that aren't customizable "you get what you pay for"
