Hey there, I totally get where you're coming from! Building your own PC can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to it. But trust me, with the right resources and assistance, it can also be an incredibly rewarding experience. Don't be discouraged! There are plenty of helpful guides and tech communities out there that can offer step-by-step instructions and recommendations. Feel free to ask any specific questions you have, and I'll do my best to provide valuable insights and assistance. Let's optimize your tech setup together! 💪🖥️

[@mescobar1118]

Honestly I never used part picker always google. Probably me being dumb but oh well. What works amazing as well is chatgpt. Not only does it tell you compatible parts it can also be asked parts that work well with others. For example what gpu works with ryzen 5 5600 and it’ll give you a list. Also building in general. If you’re new and have questions you don’t wanna waste time finding answers for on google chatgpt can help you pretty fast and explain any problems and fixes.

That thing with the 8 pins is fairly true though. It worked out kind of handy for me on an old Tesla card, it uses 8 pin cpu pinouts not pciE pinouts.

[@asymsolutions]

@@Stand-as-One_Virox even so, if someone like sarah can break the connector loose, it's a bad design. Ignoring Laptops, these ISO connectors are also expected to be used on computer systems that while they may not be used while in motion, will be transported a lot, and subjected to stronger forces. If someone like Sarah can cause a failure by shaking it, the manufacturer failed. These are consumer grade products, and shipping while assembled should be an expected stress on the product.

[@kylestewart4444]

She would probably find it way less fun if she had actually purchased all of those components herself and would therefore have to take the loss if she had damaged anything. That's the only legitimately stressful part about building a pc as a total newbie. You've spent all of this money on components and now you have to assemble them all without screwing anything up. If you do, you're on the hook for replacing it. Something tells me she might have been a bit more cautious if that were the case

[@ThanosTheTitan93]

If she paid for the parts she wouldn't do half the shit she did specially what was done to the gpu

[@KEEYBLADE]

I always partially build some of my PCs myself, but I always was scared of damaging the CPU. But after doing a complete build, I realized that installing the CPU is probably the easiest part of the entire build xD

[@ZiggyMercury]

No, I don't think that's that. She wiggled the GPU (and other stuff) because she was worried that if it was not secured it wouldn't work or would create some problems (more than she was worried about the connectors). However, if she had to buy all these things herself, she wouldn't have gotten to the point of deciding whether or not to wiggle the GPU, because she wouldn't have done any of it to begin with - she'd have bought a pre-built computer, like 99% of those who buy a desktop do.

[@azaria_phd]

@@KEEYBLADE agreed haha. Installing the CPU is a weird process, but it's very straightforward and has basically zero room for failure, because either you do it right, or you can't do whatever you intended to do. If you have the common sense not to force the CPU into the socket, there's nothing that can go wrong, normally.

[@soonlytaing1708]

@@azaria_phd unfortunately common sense isn't really common...

I get that the point of this is to show an extreme example, but it's pretty misleading and a bit unfair to her. I started pretty blind but I definitely didn't pick my parts in one sitting and was watching a guide/referencing the manuals the whole way. Which is just... what you should do when you're not building a computer on camera with time constraints. I have to imagine her experience would be pretty different if she was doing this on her own time and didn't have a limit on asking questions. But even then, she figured it out!

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Well, this is LTT. Their purpose is not to portray reality; it's to entertain their audience. Which makes the whole bit where Linus criticises companies for not making things easier for average consumers come across a bit... I don't know, a bit fake? Like they haven't earned the right to criticise anyone, because they intentionally made it harder than it should be? Almost. I mean, he's not wrong either. I'm somewhat tech savvy, but stopped following PC hardware quite a while ago, and the current landscape is confusing even for me. An average consumer has no chance of making sense of all the confusing model numbers without doing a ton of research, and most of the information they'll find will fly right over their heads. It's just that, he makes it look like the true thing he says is a conclusion he draws from Sara's struggles. But most of her struggles were caused by the format they enforced on her.

[@PerkyPineapple]

​@@EvenTheDogAgrees considering this is a follow-up to the secret shopper videos where the whole point is to just have a person with no knowledge on the subject buy a computer very quickly, it wouldn't make any sense to have her dedicate the time most people put into researching parts and the process. There are artificial restraints put on her but by no means are they unrealistic, and it does show that companies can do a better job explaining model numbers and things such as that for the average person.

[@rukitorin1998]

As someone who learned basic PC building in highschool I agree that building a PC is something you should at least experience once. But the school's way of teaching PC building was flawed because we didn't really have specific parts... Instead of naming the parts by their actual names we just use their PC names. Instead of Intel i3 or what not we use CPU from the small box of CPUs, instead of ddr3 ram 1333 MHz we use the ram from a pile. It's nondescript and quite easy to understand. And as newbies we just didn't delve deeper into as we have a full schedule of other subjects. The gist of it is that it's like a Lego building when we handle PC building. From the basics of assembly to the harder parts of installing a os and drivers through the disk drive. Mixing and matching mobos CPU, hdd, and rams. To hell with compatibility if it fits it sits. It was a fun and satisfying subject. And watching the PC you built turn on and connect to a Lan network with other PC the other classmates built is gratifying. This was in my highschool before the internet was easily accessible.

Just figuring out the parts you want to buy for your custom PC, especially on a budget, is a nightmare. There are so many conflicting opinions and information online, and popular websites that straight up lie according to many enthusiasts that it can cause a real case of decision paralysis, even if you know how to get parts that actually even work with eachother in the first place. That's not even going into the stress of assembling and testing the thing after the fact. Always lovely when you figure out you'll have to get something extra or something replaced right when you thought you could finally test some games on it.

@@Omonarc To be honest, though, there's really bugger all difference installing Windows and installing Linux. Write the ISO you download from their website onto a thumb drive, plug it in, turn on the PC (and maybe fiddle with the BIOS settings to get the boot order right, if it ain't already going to the USB before the hard drive). As for configuring Linux, unless there's an actual problem that needs fixing, I'd simply say "don't". Get a friendly distro and just go with the defaults. Use it exactly as you would use Windows, with the GUI, and don't unnecessarily mess with anything. Then, honestly, it's no different to Windows. I know this because, to save it from the garbage, I installed Ubuntu on a netbook for my mother, who's in her 80s now, and - absolutely genuinely, no word of a lie - I get vastly less calls for "tech support" from her for the Ubuntu netbook than I do for her Windows 10 laptop (and she uses the netbook more often, as it's more portable for using casually in the living room, while the Windows 10 laptop kind of stays where it is, as it's hooked up to a printer - and, in fairness to Windows 10, most of her calls for "tech support" from me usually relate to the bloody printer not working). Seriously, first time that I installed Linux, I was messing around with the configuration in all directions. Trying to maximise and tweak and customise everything, and upgrade everything to the "bleeding edge". And I made it horribly unstable. So I re-installed it and then left well alone. In a sense, this is the thing people coming from Windows need to appreciate. Open source works differently. Because it's open source then, yes, I am able to re-configure absolutely everything - hey, I could even crack out the source code and alter the kernel directly, if I really wanted to - as nothing is secret or hidden in the entire system. And, yes, you can get carried away with that. Because, on Windows, I can't really do anything, so being allowed to tweak and customise and configure it all can be an intoxicating freedom. But, honestly, unless you have good reason and know what you're doing, then simply don't. Just don't. Despite what Aperture Science might say, you don't have to do it, just because you can. Oh, and open source affects how you should look at software. With Windows, you get a new release and you instantly rush to install the latest version. But, with open source, the software is permanently released - if you really want, you can download those "nightly builds" and literally have the software as it was last night - so, actually, curb your enthusiasm a little. Unless you have reason - like you want to join in with testing and development or something - then just grab the version labelled "stable" or "LTS". You don't want the "bleeding edge" of the "nightly build" because that's the software still in a state of development. It's unstable and in flux. The hatches have not been battened down yet. Basically, if you treat Linux like you treat Windows - with Windows, you can't make many modifications so, in Linux, also don't try to do that - then it's no more difficult or problematic to use than Windows is. The problem is that Linux provides freedom - and people instantly want to start messing with that and then start breaking things. At work, I run a whole cluster of Linux servers and do all sorts of mad shit to make it work. But, at home, I mostly leave my Ubuntu alone and in its "out of the box" configuration. It works fine. (But the great thing with Linux is that, well, I can get myself a Raspberry Pi 400 and then that's the machine that I can tinker with to my heart's content, not caring if I break it all. But this laptop is my daily driver, so even though configuring Linux is pretty much my day job, I leave well enough alone and it works perfectly.) But this is understandable - as I say, initially, I did exactly the same thing. When you've been caught in Microsoft's "closed source" trap all your life, then to taste freedom can be intoxicating. All these configuration files and I can do whatever I want with them all. Awesome! But, well, "with great power comes great responsibility". The responsibility of such freedom is knowing when you should and when you shouldn't exercise it.
