I've Joined the PC Master Race

[@bazzlemedazzle1]

Second monitor vertical orientation is so underrated!

[@orbalology]

It really makes SUCH a difference!

[@samm761]

Vertical orientation is great when you are reviewing Word documents.

[@obakasan79]

I have my vertical on the right, so looking at this setup makes my head spin. 😂

[@robbyrobot3303]

Microsoft Excel in Tate Mode

[@evanslawrence88]

Or for coding.

[@jamesgoodwin3444]

That should last you a good long while. I built my PC around 8 years ago, with a Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX1080, and it still plays new AAA games in 1080p at 60fps just fine.

[@josha9796]

Facts I have a 1070ti still pushing out 120fps med-high setting depending on game. Fortnite 90 1080 high settings

[@CraigSteelyard]

The console only gamers who say you need to spend $2000 every 2 years. Are completely wrong 😅

[@sandwichsupernova]

Sweet! Congratulations on the build! I just recently took the dive too and I’m really happy with it!

[@orbalology]

Glad to hear it turned out well for you too!

[@Kj2294]

Vertical monitors are fantastic! This set up is fantastic!!!

[@sonoftheredfox]

Emily, this makes me so happy seeing this. As someone who has been building my own PCs since the mid 90s, I always enjoy seeing someone take that step to not rely on an out of the box solution and just go for it to make the computer YOU want. I have the corded sibling of that Logitech mouse, and it completely changed my gaming. One thing that jumped out at me - the second monitor in portrait - how are you liking that and what do you use it for primarily? I've had 2 or 3 monitors in my setup over the years, but always stayed landscape, because I didn't exactly know why I'd have a monitor in portrait. Thank you so much for sharing this. Also, I love that desk. And you look so refreshed. I hope you had a great Christmas and 2025 is starting off wonderfully for you.

[@JoeNayDoh]

Very nice setup. With how well you optimize all the space you have for your shelves and as we can see your desk it's easy to forget you're living in a studio. Everything seems so much bigger

[@MandyleePlays]

You have better cable management than me, and I am pretty organized myself 😂 Your desk is like a little command center. It's amazing. Now, if only I can build a PC on my own, in the meantime, I will stick with pre-builts, lol. Gald to see you are back, Emily! Happy New Year!

[@jrodm]

Your set-up is so cool. Congrats you did an amazing job on it. I love all of the personal touches. My favs are the keyboard and coffee mug. I admire your work, have a blessed day.

[@Michael-nt7yx]

Beautiful setup! I keep my PC and consoles in the same area too now I need to make room for the Switch 2

[@firebreather4192]

Awesome setup, looks really cozy! PC has become such a great platform, as most games come out for it these days and handhelds like the Steam Deck have changed the landscape a lot.

[@garethsmith6611]

Well done. I built one and it turned on then powered off and so i had to get a retailer to build me one, but since then, i started to learn more and ive installed gpu and fans myself, ssd. So i feel more confident now. When you go pc, you dont go back.

[@phillipchan9125]

Love your desk setup Emily. Looks like a great place to sit and have fun. And for a first time PC build, you did an excellent job.

[@frooglepete]

Absolutely love your setup Emily. My wife is sitting beside me rolling her eyes as I keep pointing at parts of your rig and saying "I NEED THAT"!

[@Dr.God-666]

Glory to the PC Master Race! 👑💻⌨🖱

[@Edde0425]

Love the setup :) looks super cozy to just chill and game.

[@kevinmccartney4906]

Thanks for the tour! Such fantastic curation of space! 😊

[@TheLostFan2010]

Congrats on your accomplishment! I've always been too afraid to try and build my own rig, that's really cool that you did.

[@andre23350]

by the way … maybe the fans on the side of the Radiator from the AIO … maybe they are mounted in the wrong Direction ….😮 same in the top of the case … or is that a kind of Reverse Blade Fans ? when not they are installed the wrong Direction … the have to be installed the oposite way… to push hot air out and through the Radiator Fins…

[@nellybod8742]

Enjoyed the tour, great form & function. I had a nice setup in my last place. But in a house share at the moment. So most stuff in storage.

[@gcole6]

FINALLY THE VIDEO!!!

[@wavvydev]

I absolutely love your Trails wallpaper. Its always a treat to come across someone else who has experienced peak gaming

[@Scribblescrabbly]

Awesome build! Welcome to the PC Master race!

[@JelaniWood]

SICK Set up! Love it! New sub here and also to your Podcast!

[@colinanthony2011]

What an awesome setup. Looks so cozy. I have something similar in my home office. I love having consoles and a gaming PC accessible in the same little area.

[@NerdCrave]

Really nice setup! Welcome to the world of pc gaming! I went deep in pc after buying the Steam Deck at launch, I now have a pretty capable gaming laptop set up on a desk with a 32” curved gaming monitor and I also have a ROG Ally docked to a 24” gaming monitor with mouse and keyboard that I can seamlessly switch between handheld and docked

[@leonidasvonsparta]

It's Great to have both! I own a solid PC rig (ryzen 5 3600/ rtx 3060 12gb/ 32gb ddr4 3200mhz / system SSD and gaming m.2) and some consoles. I prefer physical games but want to play some games with high to max settings (1080p)

[@MarkDuval]

I like how it's not against a wall so you can get behind it to clean and plug in things. I hadn't considered not having my desk against a wall, but this really works.

[@ScottReviews]

Looks great!!! I built my first pc a year ago and I really loved putting it together!!! It runs like a dream!

[@WIImotionmasher]

I've been using a gaming PC desktop for like 10 years, and your setup looks so much better aesthetically than I've ever bothered lol. Damn I gotta step up my game lol

[@Patrick-tw7nr]

Congrats on coming to the world of PC gaming. I love all gaming so I own PC, Switch,Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro. I like my choices based on the games and people I play with

[@joeynolan304]

Very very cool Emily! The PC is awesome! I'm in a small apartment too but I built one hell of a gaming area in my dining room with IKEA, LED lights, and all my games and consoles! It's my favorite place!

[@dragon_shrine]

Instant like the moment I see the Blue-Eyes White Dragon figurine. Also, welcome to PC family, build mine last year and enjoying the process, and the product.

[@tonyp9313]

I think you did an excellent job building your pc. Also an excellent job for the wires as well. I just love how you have figurines & everything is so well organized. Also I am really happy you are ok as I heard about the Wild Fires in California. I wasn't sure if you were in LA or not or if the fires were in all of California. Awesome vid & hope to see the next video.

[@elisac6146]

loving the setup. Specially the keyboard

[@DrGamingPlays]

Great job with setting up that space and the new PC build. My wife likes the vertical monitor setup, though I have yet to try it. I do have a new computer table, and I think it is in dire need of some sort of Trails desk mat.

[@spencer9658]

Very interested in the yugioh feature! So cool to see that you are into yugioh as well!

[@micahlynx]

the set up looks great!! and the cable management was really good too, i dont see how you could make it any better, its already so clean :)

[@samm761]

That's a nice setup, very cozy and efficient space-wise. I hope it didn't take too long to set up.

[@sosahaus5999]

looks great love the pc case! i have the same steel series headphones i love them im glad youre comfy it took me so long to figure out how to get comfy at a desk once i built a pc. that chair looks so comfy thats the key!

[@PostModernCereal]

beautiful set up! The Yu-gi-oh! figures fit so perfectly! Though with the white aesthetic and blue eyes/obelisk on top, it really feels like Kaiba's PC 😆

[@JBird101010]

Sweet gaming set up Emily! Love all the trails and digimon vibes going on! Keep up the good work! Love your videos!

[@imranakhtarsyed798]

Very nice build. Congratulations and welcome to PC Master Race

[@SkywardKing]

This is awesome. Very nice build and overall set up. I love that side cart. I'm gonna pick something up just like it for accessories.

[@alyx4436]

Gratz on the build I just build my fifth with one of them being a retro build. A 4080 Super is a beast. I have a 4080 9800X3D and hoping for a 5080 when I can. The 4080 is really all most would need but I have an unhealthy hobby of playing an extremely intensive, modded version of Cyberpunk 2077 so I need the fake frames. That setup would rock for FF7 Rebirth replay in a weeks time!

[@reeup4148]

I love your setup. Especially yu gi oh figures!

[@zachsalamida2952]

Nice setup, I would like to have my own pc one day

[@SteamPunk96]

Pretty pristine build for your first try! Glad you did it yourself too, makes it all feel a lot more personal.

[@beezelbuzzel]

Awesome PC build! I'm digging that Digimon keyboard too!

[@willgt911]

Great setup, that must've taken lots of planning 😮

[@scarfy6035]

Yes!! finally saw this on instagram and have since been waiting for this video i couldn't imagine living without a compter xD digimon keyboard is so cute!

[@3clipser]

Awesome tour love the set up and all your collectables

[@Sportykid2300]

Excellent video Emily. I’d be curious to know what role your computer will be filling for you as someone who’s big on collecting physical games.

[@jallard5764]

Great video thanks for sharing. Cheers from Ontario Canada.😁

[@Skuttzor]

I love the space, that pc case is an absolute unit!

[@silverian]

Nicely decorated & tidy workspace with a lot of little details!

[@xblackbelt9980]

Hey Emily, thank you for all the awesome content! I was wondering how much you've looked into DRM-free games on PC, storefronts like GOG and things like that. I know you've spent time looking at cartridge revisions and physically preserving your games, and I would like to hear your thoughts on PC game preservation.

[@intentionally____k]

Awesome seeing the korok mug. It cost me uuuhhh a lot when I got it shipped from Japan. Hopefully wasn't too expensive if you grabbed it while visiting the country

[@MapleBR]

that's a nice setup, everything so well organized!

[@jonathanblacknight]

OMG I love the keycaps!

[@silver33]

Your gaming space looks so clean and neat

[@WattTheTech]

Looks great. Like the black and white theme. Well done 👍

[@getoutofdepth]

Cool setup. I got a similar case when building my new rig last year. Really liked the white, I went white/silver for the components, which was a hassle but I like the results.

[@GunzyHD]

Welcome! Love your desk setup!

[@neccros007]

YAY!! now you can play some of those JRPG's on PC!

[@two-nichegaming]

A breathable mesh chair is a rare sight, in most setups I've seen the racecar seat is the chair of choice. I assume a strong AC would be needed to prevent gamer hydroplaning during long gaming sessions (gross lol), so considering the vast amount of nice things on those shelves, I too would be overcautious and not want any temperature fluctuations potentially messing my stuff up. This setup is looking pretty much perfect, maybe a mini leopard print pillow attached to the head rest for neck support, but yeah, definitely a Fortress of Solitude!

[@shadowspeare1145]

Very impressive build! i don't think there is anything this PC won't run

[@joeeatsgames]

oh man.. I've resisted joining the master race for so long.. I did go into a rabbit hole of mechanical keyboard and went with a keycrhon v1. But I really want that 8bit do Famicom one hahaha. Nice setup! I love the vertical monitor!

[@cylonscion5470]

oooh, i see a Pilot Namiki box... and is that a Pilot Kakuno on the tray (i can't tell)? ... but so cool to see that you write with fountain pens! And Hobonichi is great quality paper for them ! Anyways, great setup !

[@philipsidney123]

Cool looking PC (and particularly the wooden desk, looks like it feels very nice to work at, wood like that always seems to feel very homey at some fundamental level). I have to say I feel I have wasted my life due to not knowing that you can have little LED screens in a keyboard - I should rectify that as soon as possible😆. That Metaphor box looks massive - hope it's not a toe-stubbing risk!

[@spiceworm8102]

Just found your channel. Great content. And your voice is very soothing for some reason. Hehe. Subbed.

[@embracerodusk2537]

Your setup is great. Very clean, makes me look at my space & hang my head in shame. lol

[@thehsushoe]

Congrats! Welcome to greatness!! Will we be see streams soon?

[@Ricky-SC]

Woa we have the exact same build annd color! 🎉 congrats, I love it a lot, too.

[@crisis_rat1443]

I couldn't imagine the thought process behind your setup. It's really clean looking Emily 👍 Have fun with the pc. I'll forever be a console peasant 😆 BTW love the Yugioh setup. I love Yugioh anything.

[@sephiroth81]

You're PC build is bad ass! Nice work.

[@90shandheldgamer]

Congrats on making your gaming setup even more awesome!

[@pobbityboppity1110]

Good inspiration, thanks for sharing!

[@gabrebr]

So nice and comfy setup! Congrats

[@aluccard]

everything looks amazing!

[@SirArtsy]

Loving the build, I'm using something similar.

[@Kryptic1046]

Damn, you went all in on your first build lol Congrats, that oughtta last you a good long while.

[@meatbleed]

insanely cool setup. well done managing the cables

[@chocolocojames213]

I've been thinking about joining too. May have to in the future 😄😄😄

[@ThomasPaine01]

Congratulations! Very well done! 💯👏👏👏👌

[@Sutchii_]

Your pc is huge I am surprised you made everything fit and pretty good cable management with a limited space

[@spotter93r6]

*Insert Charlie WOOOOOOO meme here* That setup is clean. Loving the vertical 2nd monitor (I’ll have to try that I didn’t realize how well it brings the space together). Also that’s an awesome Obelisk figure, not one I see often!

[@denislavpetrov7723]

Love the YuGiOh figures! 😁Nice setup!

[@orbalology]

Thank you! And the dash of Yu-Gi-Oh makes it even better 😆

[@karllong1570]

Your desk is absolutely beautiful and freaking awesome 😌☺️😀🤩 another awesome video your voice is just incredible ☺️

[@StephenYoung-iq7qg]

So jealous love the controller stand and the chair the whole room is fantastic great job. 😊👍👍

[@itsdeonlol]

Very nice setup!

[@Rigny_la_Belle]

I love it!! I just can’t sit at a desk so long…my Switch spoils me, nothing is more comfortable than playing horizontally in bed esp cuz I have POTS my body hates being vertical 😅 I miss out on a lot of games though and I love seeing everyone’s set up, I hope to one day enjoy a desk situation. If anyone knows of good gaming laptops, please let me know!

[@Mysticalodyssey007]

Emily congrats! also this is an amazing set up :)i i wish mine was as organized lol

[@Awsomegoku]

nice setup Ems! that's really neat and tidy. happy new year and welcome to pc gaming!😊😊

[@Shinky]

That cable management is absolutely gorgeous

[@scenesofalife]

I have the same NZXT case. Well, almost. Yes, it looks nicer with the glass lid. But after just a little research on air circulation, I definitely opted for the other model with the air holes. Because it doesn't make sense with the glass lid. Where should the warm air escape to?

[@SuperCod1997]

Nice gaming setup i have the same case its awesome!

[@SkywardKing]

Dat 32 inch monitor... I am slightly jealous, but very happy for you 😅. (Watching again)

[@ドリフト180X]

I like the digimon keyboard, very nice setup!

[@AdoredLawd]

Build looks very nice!

[@lunaria33games]

Yasssss! PC master race! 😄💙
