Make an updated video! Would really appreciate it because I’m going to build my first pc soon.
THANKS STEVE!!
Update plz
Defintiely should have an updated video for 2023. I mean it may not be as fun to do as the other types of vids which GN does on a regular basis but I feel doing one is like going back to its roots, plus I appreciate Steve's detailed, albeit sometimes dry and flat, commentary with interesting factoids.
Shame that bios updating is not here. Feels quite crucial also at the beginning of build.
Steve 2016 : "Here's an NZXT case with a closed front panel and sound dampening foam."
Steve 2020 : "Hold my beer."
How much has this changed ?
i know you'll never see this but this was easy enough for even a neanderthal like myself to follow. thank you!
Thanks for this video.
Hi where is the other end of your anti static strap clipped into?
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK ALL OF THESE LFQ’s and OPX’s LIKE WHATTTT….help make it English pleaseeeee….and what they are meant for….I just want a 14+gb and a average good hd quality..all of the other stuff can be average…HELP PLEASE!!!
A PC a day keeps Apple scum away
connecting is too hard
it's so word to see Steve without his facial hair
Dang Steve you didn't have the beard back in 2016
Watching this for no reason. Love "old" videos. Its like time travel.
You should copy UK standards and have a ground pin on your plugs and switches on your sockets…
No jenky wire cutting then, the ESD wire connects to the plug which goes in the socket! https://www.somersetsolders.com/earth-bonding-plug-with-a-10mm-stud/p80?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgdfNm43N5wIViK3tCh3suQbDEAQYAyABEgJ41fD_BwE
Also you can just put the PSU in the case, connect the PSU to the socket, with the socket switched off, then connect the wrist strap to the case.
wow this video is surprisingly bad, especially for GN, I can see a new builder getting easily confused on certain things while watching this video. I really expected a better guide from this channel.
still far better then the verge though…
Not gonna lie, I haven't watched this video fully yet. I just wanted to comment saying, I'm an idiot. I want to build a PC but I have no confidence to actually do it, I'm actually nervous of getting parts then they don't work together regardless of how much research I do.
More Below:
I would appreciate if anyone could assist me. Is this ok? "Pre-build https://www.amazon.co.uk/G6-Gaming-PC-SC56BL-32W-Intel/dp/B016YIF8RQ/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=Gaming+PC&qid=1551989314&refinements=p_36%3A9708211031%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A2937335031&rnid=1026171031&s=computers&sr=1-20" (It's the far right Black Wood design.)
This PC "https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DEQ1QY/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" is one I USED to use, I still have it but only really because I really like the case. Is there a way I could get components that are compatible with this? I would like to use it as my main case, If I can I would like at least the following:
GTX 10(Something maybe 70 or 80)
2 TB
16 GB RAM
Disc Drive
3 Video Ports (I have three Monitors)
the Obvious Things, USBs, Ethernet Port etc… (I know it's silly to list since it's there already but hey I need to be treated like a baby XD) FYI I know how to power up the pc hehe
Overclocking is great but not necessary in my eyes (Then again I don't go trying to find out how overclocking games makes a difference)
SSD I heard great things about putting OS on them but I don't know how you would select that specifically over the regular hard drive to put it on the SSD in the first place)
I also would like to have Windows 10 but Amazon shows some "Scams" they say and I don't see an official Windows 10 recommended by Amazon to buy.
Also the case above in my Preffered case to use is called a "Raidmax Viper" Orange and Black and is a Mid-Tower Case.
Also I'm 21 and I think I'm thick when it comes to PC components (as stated already lol) but I'm not.
I am saving up as of right now so I have time to make up my mind but I want to get this somewhere so I can get input from smarter people in this field (Most likely EVERYONE).
Welp, Thanks for reading my Most Likely Confusing Comment and List. – Ross
Love your hair 🙂
Mi name is wolf
Lol, I accidentally have the same processor, mobo and ram combo 🙂
Does anyone know the overall price
I used all of the thermal paste in the little tube and spread it across rhe whole cpu. The system is already built, but not complete. Should i and could i go back and remove some paste?
Quality video. Subbed!
what a shitty guide
This is my build https://youtu.be/rytxzx9nDyE. Can you give me a suggestion to make the second one better 🙂 Thanks
I know how to build a pc and if i didnt i wouldnt have understood a thing smh
instructions unclear, motherboard making toast cpu and ram in my mouth
does the parts comes with all the cables;?
That MOBO was flexing because of the weight of the cpu cooler, and the fact you were only supporting it from the very edges of the board! Had nothing to do with "Over tight" screws…smh…sigh. You don't have to concoct some mechanism of fear of "Over tightening" fasteners.
Can this pc run roblox or minecraft?
Optical drives obsolete? Come on have you ever heard of an EAC rip? You need an optical drive for that. I believe it's plausible to build a gaming capable rig that looks good and can rip/archive/play music. I WILL install an optical drive in either a NZXT s340 elite or a Phantek P400S. Many of you hard core gamers with multiple rigs will call me an idiot but if there room in a case….it should be an option. All current cases should be modular so you use what you want and all OPTIONS are available.
Protect your hair, Computer Jesus!
That idea of a power cable functioning as a grounding solution was brilliant, Steve. Thank you for that.
Those guys still appear to be unable to use YouTube:
https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/pc-gaming-is-still-way-too-hard
So how the thermal paste should be applied for best use? Very thin layer spread across the surface or grain of rice style? Every video tells different things. Even you used both of those styles.
The first time I built a PC I was 15 and Battlefield 2 had just come out (around 2005). I had to save up for a whole year to buy the parts which was a good thing cause it took me about as long to figure out what the fuck had to buy in the first place. Looking back on that, I have no idea how I didn't it fuck up haha. These videos would of been really helpfull to teenage me.
Can anyone tell me if these parts are compatible with each other? Im wanting to build a PC and I mixed and matched some parts from this video and other videos.
Parts:
MSI Pro Solution Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (Z170A SLI Plus)
Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive

$689.29
Any help is appreciated as I am indeed a noob xD lol.

How much would all this cost?
I am in utter amazement and shocked at all the comments from people bitching about the technical language. I mean seriously guys, if you want to do this and do it right don't be so damn lazy and want a simpler tutorial. It really does not get any simple than this and if you are so lame as to complain that he is using too technical a term, then do yourself (and us real geeks) a favor and just go buy a fucking Dell and move on! Otherwise search the web, buy some books and get up to speed with the nomenclature of a computer! Fucking lazy ass millennial's anyway!
I strongly disagree with installing video card last. other steps were decently ordered. Minor revision as such….
install mobo in case DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN SCREWS, install video card and screws. This will/can slightly shift the mobo so that all the pci slots will properly line up in the future when installing cards. I cant tell you how many systems I have worked on built by others that the slots dont line up properly and the screws dont want to go in or you need to force the card to the side a little. once the video card is installed, then you can tighten all the mobo screws. after that I usually uninstall the video card to complete the rest of the build. In my opinion this is a crucial step that is missed by 90% of builders.
Can this PC run autocad?
