building a $4000 gaming pc on my own

[@Yeldeo]

watching the entire stream was the worst decision of my life. im still recovering.

[@nightmare5554]

What happened d

[@feberothenberg4576]

no offense but after i watched this i was like "oh i could totally build a pc if john did it"

[@dexq1k]

It’s not that hard granted he was making it look harder than it is

[@drummerofawe]

I definitely recommend it if ever you're interested, it's hard to explain how satisfying it is when it turns on for the first time

[@KyouKouPuffs]

its not that hard, it's just like legos, but they're really fucking expensive.

[@lucagamerxd1517]

so are legos lmao@@KyouKouPuffs

[@Firewoulfe]

It's great to see that John released a Halloween horror video! This one scared me. More frightening than the original Exorcist!

[@ImABadTeammate]

Thanks for the video. Always love seeing streamers building their setups. Kind of surprised you didn't reach out to Fuslie for help!

[@advancedfirefly]

Is fuslie good with computers?

[@ImABadTeammate]

@@advancedfirefly She's not too bad software wise. My joke was because Fuslie and her PA Emily were doing a computer building stream with Fuslies tech assistant overseeing them. They started out fine but by the end of building the PC he was pretty much doing it all. 😋

[@scott8934]

I think John has to be the only one running an AMD CPU in their friend group. Feels like they’re all using 13900k’s. I also love the 3D vcache chips! I got the 7800X3D and all that on the single die is awesome it rips

[@i_am_chubs]

It's probably because they either got it given to them or had like a deal, also, they probably all hear about Intel being king for like productivity and like tasks outside of gaming and get it because of that. Probably mostly the first part tho.

[@yest667]

the full stream was a comedy special

[@pbjames]

Makes me happy to see streamers build their own PCs!!

[@Rickyxsan7]

i was nervous to put together my 4thou pc but after watching this video im confident i could build it blind

[@kesean2903]

the 4090 needs about 450w but get an extra 100w just incase and also just to tell you the ssd slot with the thermal cover (black cover with thermal pads) is the number 1 slot that you need to prioritise

[@Lumautis]

when you went over the water cooling i was worried you were gonna say it was tubing installation. buts its an all in one whew

[@mykahblu]

ah yes the cursed stream that killed me

[@Luckybomb21]

Did he put thermal paste in at all???? nvm he did

[@naolink.]

Did he, at any moment during the stream, forget that he was streaming? I can bet he did xD

[@lucassadik]

bro he sounds like he's playing mw2 while building his pc

[@Coolio_Ash]

Im having an aneurysm

[@akilora]

I would come back and do this the way he does… John if I manage to fuck this up, you’re paying it back

[@xoronaqtvods1048]

gotta say I have never seen a front mounted CPU RAD dont even wanna think about the cost of doing that

[@XxAtomic646xX]

front mount rad is 1000% fine.. the ONLY thing that matters is that the PUMP is higher than the highest point of the RADIATOR... yes top mount is better thermals but not for the cpu, only the gpu and barely (2-4c if that).

[@RandomDucki]

shouldve watched the verge

[@saymynamemoh4499]

there is no way this guy lived next to a pc his whole life and he still does not now how to build one. bro did a 30min task in 4:30 hours 🤣🤣

[@justrolly251]

Did he take off if there's plastic on the ssd thermal pad?

[@googlyguys]

If John can do it I can too

[@JkJose]

I had several seizures with multiple heart attacks watching this 💀💀

[@freddiemcmurray9575]

Didn't you install a water cooler? Where tf is the cooling liquid? I didn't see anything in this video where you put a liquid in there to cool it?

[@Jordan-qb3ed]

linus crying in the corner

[@kelpklepto]

why do i feel like there was already thermal compound on the water block of the cooler?

[@Palatinik]

The Liquid Freezer don't come with pre-applied thermal paste, they send the mini MX-4 tube

[@360baboon3]

don t place the cooler like that s not how flow works

[@xyzhero8480]

Did no one tell him about the radiator put the wrong way dude. Hes literally going to kill the computer in 4 months.

[@1KV1]

That artic liquid freezer 2 420mm is huge I don’t think it would fit on top with his case and flipping it isn’t possible since the cooling loop isn’t long enough to fit over the 4090. I put it vertically the same way on the lian li dynamic evo XL and also set up noctua 140mm fans on the other side of the radiator for extreme airflow to cool my 14900k. And as long as the cooling loop is lowest at the pump it’s fine all that matters is the air bubbles need to be able to rise.

[@XxAtomic646xX]

bruh you dont know shit about pc plz stfu.. front mount rad is 1000% fine.. the ONLY thing that matters is that the PUMP is higher than the highest point of the RADIATOR... yes top mount is better thermals but not for the cpu, only the gpu and barely (2-4c if that).

Damn, i've never had a build boot on the first attempt... I've always had power supply issues or ram issues. nicely done Umm of course it came with thermal paste dude... but tbf the one you bought is probably better

[@XxAtomic646xX]

bro wasted so much money.. could of got faster ram for $100 cheaper. overspent on a 420aio when all he needed was a 360aio. overspend on a 7950x3d when could of got the BETTER and cheaper 7800x3d, Wasted $300+ on pcie gen 4 and gen 5 m.2 drives. gen 3 m.2 are all anyone needs.. Overspent on the b series MB, could of gotten a BETTER z790 board for cheaper. and HELLA overspend on that PSU. PLENTY of other 1000w atx3.0 psu for well under $200 name brand. I could of built a better pc for $2600

[@animecakes1025]

It does not matter about the price, all the parts are the same, you build it the same way, nothing new from anyone on the internet. now if it was liquid cooled and needing tubing, then that's a different story.

[@CotaXS]

yo im early early today zam!

[@oz5150]

Paid too much for the SSDs. Why do these streamers always pay for overpriced parts. 2tb SSD nvm from Silcone Power is 96 bucks

[@lsksniper1936]

Because they are 2x slower (no gen4) than competitors are unreliable and have shit warranty. It's a budget part for a reason and for content creators it doesn't make sense to be cheap on the most important part for them. If it fails, they lose more than someone who has nothing important. If your livelihood depends on something, wouldn't you get the best within your means? For example, if you ran a lawncare business would you buy the cheapest push mower that took 4x longer and has a 50% chance of breaking on every job?

[@oz5150]

@@lsksniper1936 You sir have no clue what you’re talking about, there’s lists of A B C and D tier Nvme SSds and sure Samsungs and Western Digitals drives are good. They aren’t the best that PC builders recommend, there’s better options, bang for your buck. But because streamers have money they over pay for shit because they have the money and not the knowledge. That power supply is a great example Seasonic is probably the best manufacturer for PSU and bro didn’t have a clue what he bought.

[@lsksniper1936]

Shush child I've worked at a custom fab shop for 10 years before transferring to private sector IT. Samsung and Western digital are the two top rated brands with some of the lowest failure rate. My current job our servers have all been swapped to WD Blue (for gaming and personal I prefer WD Black) or Sabrent(commercial 8tb) drives. "Bang for your buck" is something that only a teen would have to consider as a $50 difference means nothing to an adult with a job. Are there cheaper options? Yes. Are those cheaper options worth risking in any professional setting? Not a chance.@@oz5150

[@Guyver02USA]

- U have absolutely no idea what performance grade stuffs are right now?

[@looks-suspicious]

He very much has a clue. A 2TB SSD for 96 bucks will obviously be a budget choice. And while Silicon Power does offer high-end Gen4 products that compete with the likes of the Samsung 990 Pro, those are really no cheaper.@@oz5150

[@volgswithjack]

hey can u buld be pc

[@Extra_Mental]

does this guy just stream? what does he need a 4k pc for?

[@looks-suspicious]

If your PC is a work expense and makes you money, buying high-end stuff is very easy to justify. Unlike your judgemental comment.

[@Extra_Mental]

@@looks-suspicious the PC is overkill, a cheaper PC wouldn't have made him less money and done the same job.. A work expense doesnt justify buying top of the line and only covers so much. It was a judgmental question, not a comment.

[@ikram2512]

bruh what?

[@rayith]

The better question is why would he build a PC for anything under 4k if you know what he does for a living? Not only that but he can write off the entire build on his taxes. I can't name a single stream with his numbers with a PC cheaper than 4k. Most are much more expensive.

[@Extra_Mental]

@@rayith i never said i knew what he did, thats the whole point of my comment. if all he does is stream then he doesn't need all that. Maybe those other streamers actually need that high end of PC because they utilize all of it. If he can write the whole of that PC off on taxes then the American tax system is garbage. I wouldn't want my taxs to go towards someones over the top PC that they dont even know how to put together

[@John_the_baptized]

It pains me that these streamers buy parts and they don’t need the strength of some of these because they stream and game. I don’t understand the 4090 and the 7950X3D? There’s no need for either of them if all he’s doing is streaming and gaming. The Taichi board is debatable as well. He just has deep pockets and decided to splurge, and if that’s what he wanted to do, then sure. It’s his money, but I hope he doesn’t think he needed these parts to stream and game and I hope viewers don’t, either.
