1 ok, 2 imma build an apu build and add the gpu later because you know, 3 havent built it, 4 once upon a time there was an evil scientist that died from cancer and the world was saved the end

[@Daveyk021]

I built two computers for my shop last year, once in August and one in September. The hardest part was finding the case. The one for my desk need 5.25" bays (BR DVD Burner). That was hardest part. I think I settled on a "Air" case. The i5 System with the low end RTX3060 video card seems more stable than the I7 with RTX3090 video card and has been dead nuts reliable for a bench computer.

[@CLfreak246]

Between steps 5 and 6, I did a preliminary startup of my MoBo. This step was included in LTT’s lengthy video on building a PC. After completing step 5, attach the cables from your PSU to MoBo and EPS power. If you are using a CPU with no iGPU, you will also install your dGPU and necessary power. Then turn on the PSU. Next, using the tip of a screwdriver, you want to jump the pins on the MoBo that represent the power switch of a Case. You only need to POST or jump into the BIOS; we are not installing your OS of choice or altering any settings in the BIOS yet, just doing preliminary checks to make sure everything is in order before installing the MoBo to the Case Chassis. Your system checks at this point are to see a BIOS/POST, ensure all installed components (CPU, RAM, NVMe/SATA M.2 SSDs) are recognized by the system, and to check thermal applications of air or AIO coolers. If you are using a custom loop, you can skip the last check. Power off the PSU to fix any issues. If everything checks correctly, continue the build; otherwise, troubleshoot the problem before continuing on with the rest of the build.

Good tips. I might add : if you're flashing the BIOS, make sure to use a smaller (4/8/16GB) USB stick with flashing led. I lost two days thinking my motherboard was dead but it was just a dodgy USB stick that the BIOS for some reason was rejecting.

[@vuongtueminh5253]

[@simonpepper5053]

I wanted to provide some feedback from my earlier comment two weeks ago. I can confirm having no experience whatsoever other than watching this video I managed to build my PC and it posted first time! The only issue I had were two fans spinning but not lighting up this was a simple fix as you can imagine. The other nervous part for me was seating the CPU however that was easy enough it was only afterwards when I mounted an AIO (not shown in this video) I realised I mounted it wrong after undoing it and trying to pull a way the pump it was stuck due to the thermal paste I pulled so hard the whole CPU popped out I got lucky though no broken pins. If other people in the same situation make sure you undo the lever holding the CPU first if you can get to it mine was AM4. All in though was a huge success it looks awesome and it’s fast. Jason I also used your affiliate links for Windows 11 pro thanks for this series and for link! I got this!

[@zachskaer6401]

You're optimism and voice is so comforting lol. I'm so excited for my parts to come that I just watched this for fun, so thanks!!!!

[@myahridder9875]

This video could not have been uploaded at a better time! I have been in the process of gathering parts for my first build (am using the MSI B550 and Ryzen 5 5600 for my setup!) and am just now able to start. I have been suuuuuuper nervous (but also very excited)! Thank you for taking the time to make this--looking forward to watching and learning more! 🙏🤘✨️

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad its good timing! Best wishes on your build!!

[@PLAYER_42069]

Great video, Jason! Having been building PCs for over 20 years, the best piece of advice is to plan ahead to minimize any potential problems. For example, if the mobo you're looking at states it might need a BIOS flash to post with the CPU... I would just choose another mobo that's already compatible, if possible? Even though flashing a BIOS is painless, it's another step in what becomes multiple steps when building a PC. I can build one in about three, four hours, but I've been doing this for decades, like Jason. A new builder is going to have a certain amount of anxiety and anything you can do to minimize, or eliminate that anxiety is what will make building their first PC a fun and enjoyable experience vs. a frustrating and draining one.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good tips!

[@theboringhermit]

Thanks for the encouragement at the beginning! It's been a decade since I built one (have replaced a few pieces here and there). I had a not great experience with my first one before that in college (never got it working, even with IT pros testing everything and checking my work), and the same issue when I tried the 2nd time (but was able to figure out on my own what it was that time around; had to do with my case- was the same case both times, but more info online to help), so I was anxious. I wasn't too concerned about putting the parts together, just about making sure all the connections were right and getting it to post that made me drag out my PC build from early Dec to today. Got the last few parts put in and connections made last weekend and watched this (to double check my own work) and the after build set up video before taking a deep breath and booting it up; it worked! I just had to figure out some drivers to get online with it to finish setting it up. :)

[@civsully1740]

Hey Jason! Finally a timely guide for 2023...Looking forward to the next segment. Will you be including a guide to how to upgrade your Ram and or overclocking Ram somewhere in your upcoming guides? Finally I hope you might provide a written set up guide as well. Clearly the best site for PC advice for every level. Thanks again!

[@MrStillfree69]

@@TotemoGaijin Yeah, because regardless of what you do software-wise you can always restore it to the initial state, while with hardware you can actually break something

[@BrentTouchstone]

I just finished my 3rd PC build. First one was a very long time ago. These last two were much easy. This one was for my 75 yr old In-laws who have been going through a laptop a year. I talked them into letting me build one, so we can just replace components when they break and upgrade when needed. This video helped a lot. I just ran benchmarks and it's just what they need. Nuclear Submarine - Desktop, Raft - Gaming, Surfboard - Workstation.

[@MrStillfree69]

Thank you for the content! I've just built a new setup this January. First of all, cant express how much a decent case helps with the process (I had o11 d evo) Good reminders about peeling off a plastic from m.2 heatsink, and taking off a pci-e slot cover from GPU. I built around 10 PCs for the last 3 years, and derped and forgot to do both couple times :) Also some basic advice that could be useful as well: - Be sure to prepare flash drive with BIOS beforehand, if you are upgrading your only system (might seem obvious, but I actually had friends, who didn't realize that and came to me for help) - If your motherboard has BIOS Flashback you might as well do that every time before assembling your PC regardless of whether it posts or not. More often than not your MB will have outdated BIOS, so why not take it off your mind right away and chill. - If you have CPU with in-built graphics you can try first post w/o discreet graphics card to confirm everything works. Especially for beginners. It takes like 2 more minutes, but it either ensures that everything works w/o graphics, so if it does not post with graphics you've already narrowed it down to one issue. Or if it actually does not post w/o graphics, you wont be scared as much as in another scenario (because graphics is normally the most expensive part, and you might instantly think there's an issue with it) - If you have many case fans, think which ones will be intaking air, which ones exhausting, and how you will set them up before putting everything else inside the case. You might not have enough space to maneuver if you have already installed everything else If you have AIO: - If you have a complicated AIO assembly, or any assembly in your case, and you wont to try a first post before put everything into a case, you could put AIO WITHOUT thermal paste, so you dont need to re-apply it in case you end up needing to remove the pump from CPU for some reason. There will be enough contact even w/o thermal paste for your CPU not to overheat for a few minutes. - Decide which side you want your tubes to go before installing the radiator for AIO. - Make sure you place the radiator the way its tubes contact is at the same level or above the pump (e.g. either orientation at the top, or tube facing top for a vertical mount, don't mount radiator at the bottom, even if the case allows it)

[@cjyy6290]

And don't mount Aio at the front of the case for air inflows. Did it and it was bloody nightmares for my PC temp

[@MrStillfree69]

@@cjyy6290 could be fine if you have double-fan setup (like 2-3 fans each side of the radiator), but yes, why overcomplicate, easier to just avoid this configuration

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! You've got this! Just need a reminder and a quick update on the current parts. Good luck on the build!

[@AyataHiragi]

Sounds very familiar, my first PC had an AMD K6-3

[@KnightDelta69]

One of the things that helped me build my first pc was looking at guides and downloading the motherboard manual and reading it while parts are on the way, figuring out which wires are used and what goes where As such, my advice for everyone is to read the motherboard manual in advance, as well as watch a guide like this. Also, as Jason said, extra thermalpaste won't hurt. I messed up installing cpu cooler and had to wait for thermalpaste to be delivered. Edit: Also, if u have the case already, familiarising urself with it is worth it. Maybe even preplanning cable management (I did this and it sped up my pc building by a mile). My noob self spent a full half an hour at least figuring out which wire in my case was for argb (had to disconnect from pre installed hub and plugging an adapter >.>

[@PCBuilderChannel]

[@TigerDave]

Excellent video! Very handy for those of us who haven't built a PC in a while (15 years for me). One minor correction regarding "FAT32" mentioned at 17:26. FAT32 uses 32 bits of data for identifying data clusters on the storage device, hence the name. I also don't see your full AIO guide mentioned in the description. No worries, I'll track it down. Keep up the great work, Jason!

Hi all. This is my first build in over 4 years.

I installed the CPU on the Motherboard and installed it in the case. I installed the RAM and NVME. I connected all fans and power connections to the Motherboard. I then plugged in the PSU and...nothing. No LEDS or RGB on the board...PSU didn't turn on. I checked all the connections multiple times...nope. I took out the PSU and connected it to another system and it fired right up. I haven't installed the GPU as I wanted to check the power first. The only thing left is a bad MB...thoughts please.

Despite building my own PCs for 20+ years (yes time flies 😵) …. I watch these videos now and again as a refresher is always good to keep you on your toes 🥰😇👍. NOTE: check case / cpu fans are aligned to the correct direction for your case design …. Generally front to back airflow (case fan frame 3-4 prong reinforcement bars facing the case rear and the open fan blades at the front).

Solid guide and another great video! Step 7 triggered some PTSD; I upgraded my PSU (Core Reactor 750) last year, and trying to install the EPS cables without removing the motherboard was an expletive-laden nightmare. The 270-degree turn at the ceiling was just awful, largely because of the VRM heatsinks. Worse yet, I installed the wrong 4+4 cable and it wouldn't POST.

Excellent as always. I followed your advice before Christmas and me and my son built his first gaming PC in a day. The only thing we found to be tricky was installing the fiddly cables on the motherboard and tidying up the wiring of the rgb fans. One word of advice with AMD: if you install the standard Wraith fan don’t throw the retention bars away! I did and when - this week - we came to install a liquid cooler I found that it would only mount on the retention bars.

A few months ago when I built my first PC I had to perform a BIOS flashback. It went fairly well other than my Asus ROG Z690-F motherboard wouldn't take a 8GB 3.0 USB stick for the BIOS flashback.

Thank you Jason, that really encourages me to build my new pc myself :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Wonderful! So glad (:

[@MakeOut98]

Amazing video, building my first custom one now :) Would love a bit more detail on where the psu (not modular cables go) :)

[@MageMaurix]

Thank you. This is giving me the confidence to do my first build.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad! You got this!

[@R0KOOO]

Built my setup to this video! Appreciate the help!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Congrats on the build! So glad we could help.

[@Nillionaire__]

Building my first pc ever next week and im pretty nervous that I will mess it up, hopefully this vid will help me out, thx for posting 👍

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Best wishes on your first build! You got this!!

[@jackdwiggins5425]

Just found your channel love your content and attitude. Subscribed!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you, and thanks so much for the sub! Welcome to the channel, hope you keep enjoying all the content :D

[@dontetaylor]

Thank you so much! You just helped me build my first PC! 😁

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad I could help! Congrats on your new build!

[@afro__g5217]

Bout to build my first pc soon as as my cpu arrives this week and I’m pretty nervous honestly and I want to make sure I build it perfectly with ease

[@cjyy6290]

Exactly what we needed. Thanks Jason for the awesome video and pro tips 👍

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching

[@Anarkst]

Just wanted to say thank you for the video. It helped a lot. Made it very easy to build a pc down to the little details. This my second build. First was in 2016 lol. Thanks again, much appreciated.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

This is what we love to hear! So glad the build was successful again! Thanks so much for watching.

[@TamaraUlrich-oe6yi]

Hi Jason, I just wanted to say that your videos by far helped me the most out there! I started out comparing "best build" guides, and heck I got lost so quickly. Then I found your channel. Unlike everybody else, you don't tell us "buy xyz", but you educate us what we have to look for. I would have bought a far too expensive CPU without your channel. Since I built my last PC 9 years ago this video is super helpful. Keep up the good work!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much for this great feedback! It really means a lot. I started the channel after I took a break from PC Building and wished their was a channel to help get me caught up (:

[@diegoparga9324]

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I received all parts for my first ever build, save for the CPU, and I want to be ready when that arrives.

[@vp2777]

Good timing of the video, thanks. Ordered MB, CPU, RAM, PSU yesterday and scratching the head on the PC Case!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Wonderful!

[@jordandesa7754]

Thank you for making these videos. I'm buying all my components right now and will be building soon and all of your videos have been very helpful. It's greatly appreciated.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad its helpful! Best wishes on your new build!!

[@nerfherder6166]

This channel is underrated af. Whenever anyone asks me for information on PC building, this has become the first channel I recommend for beginners. For more experienced builders, I point them to Gamer's Nexus, but those are my two biggest recommendations at this point.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you! That's a huge compliment and I appreciate it!

[@stevepowell2499]

Thanks for this amazing, guide just followed to set up my first PC.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Happy we could help. Congrats on your first build! :)

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

nice! looking forward to next Boost My Build

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hope you enjoy!

[@lusciousfoxgaming9797]

Hi PC Builder, been looking at some of your videos now and feel confident in building something. My lenovo legion decided to stop working after only a year of having it. Gonna hopefully be able to build something come Christmas.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You got this!! Hope the channel is helpful!

[@4carhur1more]

That's a great tip on plugging in the EPS cables before putting the motherboard in the case! I got wildly frustrated trying to put those in after screwing down my motherboard. Definitely gonna do that next time I need to build a PC.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes! I've done it the other way and gotten frustrated too (:

[@shaunhall960]

Thank you Jason and Bear for the video!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you for watching! Do us a favor and hit the like button if you haven't to tell youtube to share the video (:

[@peterhermina656]

Long time subscriber. A great video as usual and would have saved me a lot of stress early in my pc building career

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks Peter!! So glad you enjoyed. Hope you are having a great weekend!

[@BTKMike]

I just wanted to say thank you dude. I built my first pc a couple days ago, and your videos saved us so many headaches

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's so great to hear! Congrats on your build and so glad we could help!

[@oscargranath93]

I’m literally building my PC right now!

[@NukeOverlord]

Thanks, Jason! It's been nearly a decade since I built my last desktop. This helped a lot. I pooped myself when flipping on the psu then remembered 5 minutes later that you need to press the power button LOL. Been using a laptop for a while

[@PCBuilderChannel]

haha! Ive been there too. So glad this was helpful!!

[@Carrillo91]

Very helpful, thank you so much 😁!!!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You got it! Happy we could help!

[@dylanl1442]

I’ve been waiting for this video, I watched Linus Tech Tips set up guide, but I really wanted yours. Glad to see you put this out. Much simpler to follow along. Though credit where credit is due, Linus helped me to understand your set up guide easier. Thank you again. 👍

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you enjoyed! Yep its helpful to watch several different guides before building.

[@techwolfcave]

Awesome video as always Jason. More power 🙏🙏🙏

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks TechWolf! Figured it was high time to have a step by step build guide on the channel (:

[@ZLy916]

I shared your channel on Reddit. Excellent video as usual!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Appreciate that thank you!

[@Hjorth87]

Love just playing these vids in the background when I do data editing at work.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Love to hear it :)

[@kodakle66]

i have that same white Tt case on my archangel 3.0 prebuild i really like it so far plenty of space and great air flow

[@michaelmurphy3222]

I have been building computers for a long time and one of my grandsons wanted to build one by himself. Also, I have watched many videos about pc building. I think that yours are excellent for both experienced and new builders. So I sent him a link to this video. I don't do much subscribing, but I just subscribed to your channel.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! It really means a lot. Hope your grandson has a great time building his PC. Thank you for the sub!

[@meredithbernhard09]

Working on my first build for productivity ie. Blender but with enough gaming power to run MSFS. Best sources for parts so far have been Ebay and Mercari. Asus Rog Strix z590E Seagate Firecuda NVMe SSD 2TB Corsair CX550F PS Deep Cool Matrexx50 ATX Undecided on if an RX 6600 xt/ RTX 3060 ti GPU would be overkill.

[@Vicioussama]

Really love these videos :) even if I know em, some good tips I didn't consider that will be useful for future builds and always good to refresh things.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's great to hear!

[@MrBrianYoutube]

My pc was a nightmare to build because it was my first time, I used a few uncommon parts and I had to dissemble it 2 times because I needed to update the bios and my ram wasn't working, but it is working perfectly now! I wish this video was out then!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good for you for sticking to it!

[@TheBattleRabbit860]

I've just started out on my journey to building my first gaming PC. I've always loved PC gaming over consoles, but could never afford a good enough machine to play anything current on. I've been doing research on whether I want Ryzen 5 or 7, i5 or i7 (or Ryzen 9? Or i9?), which GPU for my budget and what I want exactly (or how much longer I'm willing to save!) and of course looking into everything else from motherboards to RAM, cooling solutions, and cases. Your channel has been an invaluable resource for me. Between you and Gamer's Nexus, I'm making steady progress on 4 possible builds (thank you, NewEgg, for the build list feature!). So, thank you for all the work you put into how-to and compatibility videos!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we can help! Best wishes on the build!!

[@user-tt9xt7gs2b]

Thanks for the great content. I recently discovered your channel and because of you I was able to put together and run my first pc build ever. I had no idea where to begin and was so confused with all the options and opinions that I put off the build many times After watching 2 of your videos I was filled with confidence and days later…working running gaming pc and a super happy little gamer (my son) Thanks again!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you so much for letting me know! It means a ton that we were able to help. Hope you and your son have a great time with your new pc!

[@mxcollin95]

Great video! This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! 🤙

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Amazing, glad you found it helpful! When you're ready and have picked a CPU, check out our Build Guide videos for more!

[@mxcollin95]

Will do! Thanks!

[@crisprat9606]

W video, i needed a detailed guide for a pc build step by step. honestly your the most trust worthy person i can trust for like pc stuff

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks so much for the great feedback! This video was a beast to make but we figured it was high time to have a step by step guide out on the channel (:

[@robertstimmel1100]

very helpful video. Thank you for this!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching

[@slymonkeyinc20]

I’m going to be building myself a computer next year so reckon I’ll be back here a lot!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

[@apaulthegreat]

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Best wishes on your build! You got this! Show it off when its done if you like by sending us a build pc on twitter @pcbuilderjason

[@apaulthegreat]

@@PCBuilderChannel I just finished, it turns on and works great 😊

[@11ELFs]

Already built a shit ton of builds, and always good to watch a good video anyway, u can't be too over cautious with these components, just finished building a 200€ budget PC, Specs: A320m-hdv r4.0, Ryzen 5 1600x, Sapphire Pulse RX 570 8gb, 16gb DDR4 Crucial 2666MHz, 500W Be Quiet Pure Power 11, 256gb SSD (samsung but don't remember the model), and a cool Be Quiet Case, am pretty proud about this one.

[@andruzozo3648]

Bro is goted. He helped me pick my parts and now I have a 470 dollar pc with an i3 12100f and an rx 5600xt

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Congrats on your rig!

[@HunterMael]

I've never owned my own PC in my life. Grew up in an "anti-tech" household. I'm now 25, and while shopping for a laptop for school, I decided I should just build my own PC. That was 3 weeks ago. I have spent every second of my free time since then learning, at least half of that time on this channel. I then spent nearly **20** Hours assembling it. While I can only post through the motherboard and have some major GPU troubleshooting to do, I have build a technically-functional PC, mostly due to the info from these video. This video and Linus Tech Tips "how to build a PC the last guide you'll ever need" in particular got me through so much of the building process. Thanks for all the help! Hoping to get this gpu figured out within the next few days and be working/gaming soon 🤞 Update: GPU fixed, working on software 🎉
