So I went to install windows and during the installation process I got a "no drivers detected" message. The SSD didn't show up on the menu.

Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for hassle-free cleaning. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a versatile tool for maintaining a spotless desktop setup. With its compact design and reliable features, it's definitely worth checking out! Happy optimizing!

[@Gillan007]

i watch many pc build video's on youtube lately as im building my very first pc and all i can say is this was the best pc build guide I've seen. thank you.

[@innovativeadvertising6463]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I've been looking for a good cleaning tool, and the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule seems like a great option. The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with the multiple tubes and high-quality filters, make it a versatile tool for various cleaning tasks. I appreciate the efficient storage and space-saving feature too. Overall, it sounds like a reliable device for keeping things tidy.

[@arisaffandy]

I've built a lot of PCs since the 90s but I still love watching other people build PCs on KZbin. Thanks Matt. 😊

Hey there! If you're looking for a handy cleaning tool for your desk and beyond, I recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It offers both powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. With its multiple tubes, high-quality filters, and efficient storage, it's a versatile option worth considering. Happy cleaning!

Matt, this video is great. My son and I just built this gaming PC for his first build. Video was very descriptive and the machine is great! Added a 1TB SSD and 32G of ram (cause why not). Thanks for the great content!

[@hamzaalktiesh2126]

what SDD did you buy instead and how does it work in games??? please help

[@PostWin]

@@hamzaalktiesh2126Grab a Silicon A60 or Teamgroup Mp33, which ever is cheaper at 1tb. Both are good cheap budget drives that work fine. Faster speeds dont really matter in games and only in production related tasks. If you want to spend a little extra, the Intel 670p or Silicon a80 are faster and have dram which will make the drive last longer, have faster speeds, and better sustained speeds, but have no noticeable difference in gaming

It’s criminal that you say a $20 ssd upgrade (from 512gb to 1tb) isn’t needed…

[@TirzaBoi]

not needed, but highly recommended

[@joetomp]

For modern games 512 gb isn’t really enough for a lot of people, my gaming laptop has 512 and I keep having to uninstall and reinstall games because I like playing larger games. Hell, the main reason I’m thinking about doing a build is so I can customize it as my needs change

This is the most helpful $700 gaming pc build because of the windows installation at the end.

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

Great deal, very similar to my 1st pc build i did in December 2022 i went with a rx 6600 , wd black gaming m.2 and 2 crucial 1tb ssd cards. I definitely wish i went with the 6650xt though... at that time the cost more than today. My projected 600 dollar build turned into 1100 when all said and done lol

12400 (non-f) + A750 is my favorite mid tier combo for gaming and editing. Drivers have come along nicely, plus AV1 encoding, and the option for hyper encode with the 12400's integrated graphics.

I have been watching a lot of PC Build Videos. I like the way you explain and also your video angles the best. But, I have a question. Is it possible to install a second or third SSD on this build. I like to use Linux and I prefer to have separate bootable drives for Linux. Thanks.

[@edwardregan2564]

Followed everything, with the exception of the graphics card--we used a GTX 780TI. We plugged in a monitor, turned it on, and it said the graphics card needed the PCI E cable, but we already connected it. There is a slot for another cable, 2x3, but there isn't one there. If anyone knows, let me know :). It's my 11y/o son's first build...I am helping him out.

[@RuruFIN]

Does that case come with a single rear exhaust fan as well? I would assume so, but wanted to double check cuz I plan on possibly planning a bulk order

Is a 1080ti hybrid still a comparable budget card now days? My mobo cpu and ddr3 ram just isn't keeping up anymore but wanted to ask if you guys think a 1080ti hybrid would keep up now days with a build similar to this.

I personally would save up a little bit more and get a Arc A770 with 16gb of vram, alternatively an rx6700 xt with 12gb vram for better longlivity. Will serve you better in the long run.

They both need to be running. Set up a hot key to toggle the display on and off. In MSI Afterburner, you'll go to the display tab or something and select the items you want to see. CPU temp, GPU temp, ram, etc. Watching a KZbin tutorial helped me with it.
