How I Built my First PC for $1500 (High-End Build)

[@Grensom]

For all those wondering, I have gone through my Motherboard Manual and fixed my RAM to go into the Dual Channel Slots! THANK YOU

[@travischristie840]

regardless of the RAM placement, you did an awesome job for your first build. Especially, for someone with minimal desktop/hardware background (assuming you don't). two thumbs up!

[@blackrose6348]

Grensom, how long did it take you to get these parts for your pc?

[@Johnmadrid1988]

No worries it seems right at first but it’s a very common error. Awesome video

[@trash08]

I saw that and cringed so hard lol.

[@marinercegovic8049]

Besides RAM, which shows that you are truely first time PC biulder your tutorial is Top Noch. One minor minus would still go towards placing cooler on top of processor. You should have taken steps on how you placed it on top? Does it require thermal paste ot not...

[@Marmelaadka]

Me watching makeup videos ended up building my own pc at 6 am

[@cece797]

literally me rn

[@Grensom]

I really love the constructive feedback so far from everyone! Please feel free to tell me what I can improve on my build as it is my first one. Don't hold back with criticism ;)

[@Aurummorituri]

No NVMe SSD. Booooooo. :P You can pick up the 970 Evo 250Gb for $115 on Newegg and it runs MUCH faster than your SATA 860 Pro. Not to mention it requires no cables or case mounting. Still rocking my old 850 Pro and it still curb stomps any SATA drive for speed.

[@prodog2355]

Grensom did u read the MB book... cus thats not how the ram should be line up

[@allencoppin1981]

You should resit your ram in the correct dim slots man! Look just above the memory slots on your motherboard, and it should say A0 B0, A1 B1. You'll want to place it in A0 B0 for the best optimisation of you ram, just have a quick google and you will quickly figure it out! Otherwise awesome video man!

[@jussi28]

Allen Coppin yes, this is important to use dual Channel mode, which is faster

[@Grensom]

Thank you very much! I was wondering about this. I will look into this, this afternoon

[@elipticclips1]

It made me cringe hard lol

[@srenj887]

Idk if Allen said it correct, but its the second and fourth dimm slot from where ur cpu is.

[@1967KID]

That's the 1st part I notice slot 1 and 3 ,not 3 and 4 i believe. In the 90s we did not have KZbin video, I did not finished school and I was building computer's since the 90s.

[@acorndrumneptune]

id recommend pc part picker instead as it has a compatibility filter that prevents you from selecting incompatible parts and also allows you to search for items in a more coherent manner across multiple online retailers in multiple locations

[@jussi28]

If you want to, you can flip your radiator from your CPU liquid cooler, so that the tubes are at the top, it looks much cooler. And you should screw the thumbscrews (from the panels you removed to make place for the graphics card) back, to give you graphics card more stability. I hope I could help!

[@Grensom]

Wow! Thank you for the feedback, I think I will end up making those changes. The CPU Cooler was a pain to put those wires in like that, it never occurred to me to flip it to make It less obstructive. Thank you!

[@jussi28]

No problem😉

[@injuredaesthetic4906]

it doesnt look cooler its common sense when air bubbles are made there is nowhere to pop them which the cable will transport the air bubbles to the rad, the rad will pop the bubbles his pc prob blew up by now

[@sabrinaferkous5695]

I really wanna try this one day, try all your videos actually

[@cristopherortega6444]

I cringed for a solid 10 secs during the Ram installation.

[@Carterthielftw_]

same

[@JCrisOlme2]

I'd recommend you to put the RAM memories with an empty slot between them in order to improve the air flow and the cooling. I love your channel and your projects are awesome!

[@jussi28]

Jcris7TG it's not about cooling or airflow, it's to unlock dual channel Mode

[@Grensom]

Thank you, I noticed other people building PCs tend to do this aswell.

[@chalabiabdou384]

5:46 thats a PCIe slot i like your vids thank you

[@bubshoaf6441]

I think he knew what it was, but was telling the people that it was a slot for the GPU...

[@heavina1586]

Nice! I've been studying all the parts of pc now for a week haha, i'll build it on september but oh well it's still early but i'm just really excited. You did very well on your first build!! Good job!

[@jphanks]

Nice! $1500 is my 5 year price point. Spend that much and you'll stay ahead of the curve at least that long. Well done.

[@psychoticgiraffe]

This is a solid build, I did a similar spec build recently but I'm impressed by your cable management and the case choice is pristine. -Psychotic Giraffe

[@chrisfox3428]

Yo man, just gotta say, love your videos man. Good stuff. Keep it up.

[@mohamadzairul3020]

Wow i learn so many thing in this video and comment section. Great video btw.

[@miresly777777]

I really Respect the fact you take the time to build your own things. That's Effin Awesome 💞💕💖. Love it. :)

[@ykmin98]

Great video!! I was just collecting parts for my PC myself and thank god you made this video! I'm much less anxious cheers cheers.

[@ishanabraham8599]

Awesome high quality vid! Just keep practicing little things that I'm sure are already mentioned and maybe add more specifics about cables being used for people that are less experienced.

[@PitiPablo_]

Your radiator fans are backwards, should be pulling fresh air instead of exhausting it out of the case, the frame/structure/cross side of the fans should be facing your components.

[@Grensom]

You are the second person to say that. I was unaware that is how it is supposed to work. I will be sure to check that out. Thank you!

[@PitiPablo_]

Grensom no problem

[@srenj887]

The side with a cross/motor for the fan, is always the backside, this is where the air will always be pushed towards on a pc fan.

[@Mike66999]

You need to change your AIO fans direction to push air inside the case in order to have airflow, either put the fans in-front of the radiator or flip the fans to pull air through the radiator

[@Grensom]

Interesting, I did not know that. I will be sure to check the manual on the AIO fan and make that adjustment. Thank you for the heads up!

[@Realist4ever]

Saw the Ram installation then checked comments to see all the butt hurt comments. Good job on your first build.

[@Alex-uo8oh]

I wanna try building my own pc too, you made it look like you were just attaching parts like lego lol but def looking into trying this 👀 please do more DIYs! I automatically subbed when I saw how you built the alexa mirror and I am now binge watching your channel 👀😁

[@viprz5444]

Alex Esquivel I’m sure you’ve learned by now considering this comment was 20 months ago lol. But it pretty much is just assembling things. It’s not that complicated as long as you take things into consideration one at a time! Rushing can just make it confusing. Trust me 😂

[@VA3KAMA3]

Another high end video of yours, and keep them coming mate pelase, tho have to note you should've put the rams in dual-channel mode into the slots

[@aymandaha6431]

I just tried user benchmark and made some builds to compare! Thx!

[@darkprinceofawsome5]

Hey I just found your channel and I really love your content so far, very cool and innovative videos. Keep it up. Also I really enjoy your editing style ;)

Can you add the links from where you bought those parts

[@phungpei2277]

I think it's Can't Get Used To Those (Afterlude) by Dimlite

[@benbush88]

The original version of the verge video that noone knew about

[@alldave]

DO NOT DROP THE GLASS. I literally just tapped the edge on the box... They really should put an explosion warning on the glass, there was glass in every corner of the room and embedded in myself. I was picking up glass for days.

[@MrVladiston]

How come almost no one has commented about the radiator fans being mounted as an exhaust which is the wrong direction? 🤔

[@Jay-so2dk]

Great video, subscribing

[@charlesricks2179]

how did you fit this in a $1500 budget

[@Stavvy0]

Didn't mention the monitor, lol

[@nazzys9658]

Flip your Liquid cooler around so cabels are at the top it would look alot cleaner ...

[@TurtlesareAwesome19]

Is the liquid cooler necessary? The H100i v2?

[@ericmoss1805]

If overclocking yes, the 8700k runs pretty hot when over clocked. But if your not going to overclock then no, but why get a 8700k for you are not gonna overclock lol

[@MnkyDev]

we have almost the same setup thats scaring me

[@reginaldspectre6512]

a very neat build

[@brettmueth7350]

Did you screq in the gpu to the bracet

[@alexanderbalan3772]

plug in the RAM into 2nd and 4th from the right if you only use 2 pieces

[@hardtarget9969]

If I had to choose between DIY and pre-built. I Wil go with the latter. I won't risk damaging expensive PC parts.

[@grandmasterflash3109]

trust me, once you have all the parts building isnt difficult at all. you wont regret building your own when you need to upgrade it in the future.

[@czyruszamora5309]

Gremson why my gpu is emitting two blinking lights in the right side??

Hello I want to build this pc but am a little confused on the wiring I need some help can someone help

[@danielkenway2413]

Did this build support Bluetooth/WiFi?

[@TurtlesareAwesome19]

Yes, the motherboard has a pre-built wifi adapter!

[@ΓιάννηςΓιοβάνης]

Really nice build but i found a foul in your build.You got no intake fans so i recommend you use the water cooler fans as intake so your gpu and all the components get fresh air and that way you can balance the negative and positive pressure

[@--Tanjumul]

welcome to pc master race dear .

[@andrewschitt]

We have the same build... literally exactly

[@ishanabraham8599]

Also mention all parts in the beginning to make it easier on everyone then do your build

This is so damn complicated my brain can't function properly I feel like I'm melting 🤯🤯🤯

[@viprz5444]

Salty Boffalo then watch vids that are proper, no offense to this man, but this looks like his first or second build. It’s not hard to catch on to pc parts and how to assemble one. It can take around 2 -4 months to learn how to master it from yt vids i would say.

[@lavenda8103]

WOW...this is not a clickbait

[@beckaddison5827]

This is coming kind of late but did you remember to put standoffs between the case and motherboard? You could cause serious damage if you let the motherboard directly contact the case, especially if the case is metal. Great job otherwise!

[@abdulfattah9189]

Liked,subbed,commented, Which one is better 1500$ iMac or 1500$ custom PC?

[@aymandaha6431]

Abdul Fattah If you want it for gaming, of course build a custom pc. iMac sucks!

[@Grensom]

Depends what you are using it for. If you build a PC you are going to get more performance and value for the same price.

[@td8950]

Wait i can afford a gtx 180 it. Is it worth it?

[@holdentait877]

i put all the parts in amazon for this computer and it was 2100

[@YesMan1331]

yes and even with i5 9600k with 1080 plus 100$ for case etc it was around 2k this is clickbait

Its not, this was made last year before gpu prices rose to where it is now.

Oh yeah, you are right! Yeah that was my bad

[@akidinindia4685]

I would have recommended you getting a Ryzen CPU. And if if you are planning on gaming (wich I assume) you should have got a 500gb SSD because 250 gb isn't a lot of you use it as a boot derive and a game drive, you could fit about 2 5 star-games

[@Grensom]

I actually don't game that much on it. I do a lot of video editing and have about 3 games I play - not so often though.
