Just finished my first ever build. I had zero experience with PCs and was pretty terrified throughout, but everything is working. I've watched most of these videos 4-5 times in the past few days to be sure I didn't miss anything. It's very impressive how you demystify the process while being entertaining. Ridiculously helpful. Thank you!

[@brucerivas8950]

I'm also new to pc gaming and have parts coming in slowly. I need to know if you can only buy a windows 11 or 10 USB stick (cause I don't have another computer to install windows) and don't need to upload anything on a usb stick to transfer to your pc. Essentially like any drivers?

[@nonyabiz3874]

Dude I was a Xbox guy for years you gave me the confidence to build my first pc and get everything set up with a few laughs along the way can’t explain how much I appreciate you!!!

[@kell7689]

Huge pro tip is to move your Shadowplay temp folder to an HDD rather than the default C:/ location. This folder is constantly writing recorded footage to the drive and can beat up your nice SSD. HDDs handle frequent writes a little better in terms of drive health, so I always put the temp folder there. Another pro tip is to go to mouse settings and turn off enhance pointer precision (mouse acceleration).

[@kell7689]

@@steeledgator it really is a blight for gamers

[@SquackSpencer]

Well..... I agree that SSD's sound more fragile than HDD's, but nowadays they're as durable as any HDD. So you gotta decide between a slightly slower system and replacing a cheaper part, or a blazing fast system and replacing a expensive part. I don't mind, I actually leave it at C. The durability difference isn't that great, the speed I get makes a slight difference and I lose WAY less data if my SSD blow up, since only Windows, and some games where I really need a low loading time gets permanent storage on it.

the most overlooked tip is: before you download ANYTHING, change the time on your PC. that way you avoid files saying "downloaded tomorrow" (yes that's what it actually says)

If you don't like multiple softwares for controlling rgb I'd suggest giving Signal RGB a try. I just switched to it and it controls my lian li strimmer, Corsair ram, Asus mobo and rog strix GPU and I was able to get rid of disgusting aura sync and icue.

[@rolgolding]

Great software and it has veeery nice effects too. I have the free version and it looks beautiful.

[@Corrosionxx]

The resize bar tip gave me a huge FPS boost!! Thank you legend!

[@mintstandardstudios4190]

It’s been 10 years since I’ve built a PC and done a fresh install of Windows so this was an awesome refresher thank you!! Just finished a fresh build last night after quite a bit of troubleshooting and having to do a late night run to buy a used GPU because my old RX 580 does NOT like to do fresh installs without onboard graphics apparently lol

[@dan14632]

For RGB control, give Signal Rgb a go, I have a mixture of corsair, alphacool and ek rgb components I can control all in that one program.

[@zooloomuzik]

another vote for SignalRGB

[@jredz85]

And another one!! Lol it’s the goat fr. Especially when you figure out how to configure the layouts.

[@CormanToth]

Looking into this, I've seen some comments saying that the program was super resource intensive and was decreasing overall performance; is that still the case?

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I always strive for a clean and well-maintained desktop setup. Have you considered using the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for keeping your PC dust-free? It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a versatile tool for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, its compact size and multiple accessories are perfect for on-the-go use. Definitely worth checking out! 🚀

I just build an amazing pc for the first time ever two weeks ago. And pc centric was the main reason why I was easily able to build it with confidence.

For you new guys still watching this video. I would definitely recommend going to the nvidia control panel, if you have Nvidia, and change the performance mode to maximum performance. Should give a fps boost. On windows 11 too turn on game mode as well.

[@ronnyb5890]

and i tought my computer case was big 😁 i have a big tower i stuffed full of hardware for music production, i dont play games, but videos like yours give me some tips in how to configure the computer CPU,GPU and Memory wise, the most problematic thing for music production is latency, there's also the problem when you use 4 sticks DDR5 with XMP that your computer wont boot anymore, you have only two sticks in your machine, great for using XMP but defeats the purpose of having 4 DIMM slots, i had to disable XMP and run my 4 sticks at 5000Mhz instead of 6000Mhz, i lose 1000Mhz,but my system works flawless now, cheers m8

You missed the most Important part of getting the geforce experience software. And that is drver update notifications.
