No optical drive?
Just built my first PC in well over 20 years following this. Thank you!
ive been watching this video for 24 hours
Thank you all so much for this video, just finished my first PC build by following this step by step!

"How to build a PC, the last guide you'll ever need!" ~ 😄
1hr:42mins:04sec ~ 😔
Awesome how-to. this is the kinf info i look for when doing something new, not just, plug this here, plug that there kind of how to's.
the sweat comein off ma head as I am the main "geek" of the family and have to know every god dame think about tech. Hea, he. . . he…
holy crap, ditching at minute one. these guys sound exactly like my advanced high school students a decade ago. really, “what are you going to do with computer?” a degraded version of a question my son asked his clients before another custom build, perfecting his skills while considering a life after high school in a few years. btw, we’re all doing fine. there was a desperation in some of these young men attempting to cloak themselves in 20 year old hair styles, fashion, presentation stylistically etc. nice knit cap, so f’ing fresh.
This really help me out, I think I'm getting a used 3070 for 350 bucks, when in my country a new one is around 650$, so if a make the right tests and benchmarks on my own pc, i guees i'll be fine for the next couple of years til rtx 5000 and rx 8000 exist 🙂
This might be the most well thought out and educational video I have ever seen. 20 years in the industry and this is the single best video I have ever seen in every way. Production value, clarity, amount of detail, casting.. it's literally perfect.
Grounding should be with the PSU off, right?
Here is a interesting idea for a video.
Not sure how much the PC/Tech channels know or speak with each other but, if you all could get into a chat and make a video just like this one but with the experience and ideas of all of you, and every single channel just made the exact same video and posted it will help a lot of people.
Why do I think that will help? Well you know how the more you talk about something the more real and common knowledge it becomes EVEN if that information it's a lie, so why don't we bombard the internet with actual knowledge and facts instead of crappy content, useless information and lies about products or things.
I'm currently building mine. Can anyone help with the list of all the needed accessories? Example: Thermal paste is what I have at the moment, but I think it would be a bit more simpler if they told you these needed items in the beginning for shopping.

Thank you. It really helped. 🙂
wow
I've been doing this for 25 years, why am I watching this? LOL. LTT motha phuckas!
I used this build guide to help me build my first ever computer. (Successful) The only thing I did not follow was the part where you power the computer with a screwdriver. (Did not work) Great video anyways! Very helpful.
Thing is, you guys are using a lot of vernacular that's unfamiliar to many people. Try to make a guide for dummies.
My parents got me a PC from Tiger Direct in 2000 for Christmas when I was 15. For my birthday a few months later, I saw a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 16mb AGP graphics card for $99 that I begged them to get me. I got it and it ran Die Hard Trilogy like it was a next gen game. The next time I built my own PC, I ordered an AGP graphics card to go with it. In 2010. Needless to say, I returned it and got an XFX PCIe card because AGP was made obsolete years prior and I had no idea.
This is one of the best business decisions ever. This video will be the de facto for years to come for people who are CLUELESS about pc building for years to come.
THANK YOU. I followed this guide to the letter building my first PC and it was essential. A great guide.

can't explain in words how helpful this video was. absolute masterpiece and has everything you need to know 🙂
Damn men im dissapointed my graphics card isnt compatible with ax motherboard- i either get a new motherboard or replace the graphicscard– and also i fucked up the pc case its too small. Im get full tower so i have enough space to move around. Im a lvl one noob at this but im not going to give up … i might end up spending more
im an expert pc builder, yet i always love watching different components be put together. it blows my mind why i love it, but i do m/
30 DOLLAR FOR A WATER BOTTLE?! KANKER DUUR GEK
Best tutorial really. i am building a pc based on this video. this is the one video i have watched to know i will never want to spend a few grands to fail which is to say i aint gonna build one myself. lol.
i play doom
i think they forget that some io shields have flaps that you have to bend a little so they touch the metal on the ports to help with static charges
update: thanks for the many likes
1:39:55 please tell me where i can get that blue thing with legs in the left side of Anthony hahaha
A feature length film! Wish I could log this on Letterboxd
I have no clue what any of these people are talking about.
