This is really well done.
props to nzxt honestly, this is probably going to get ALOT of people into PC gaming, and the custom pc space
23:58 The manual does warn you that the IO shield is sharp.
NZXT should have called it the BLDIY. Build it yourself.
Shout out RayJay
You know, when we say PC building is like LEGOs for grownups, I didn't expect anyone would take it quite literally to even make child-friendly assembly manual for it.
legos are legos for grown ups.
@@angryparrot9433 legos are legos for emos who want to die by stepping on a Lego
When he first opened that big instruction manual i half expected pop ups in the book.....look at Moe dance! Im sorry its just such a cute book
EDIT: if anyone knows where i can download a PDF of this manual id be grateful
This is a great gift to a tech inclined child! I would've loved this as a kid, given that I was already fiddling with hardware during that age.
and nzxt nailed it
props to nzxt honestly, this is probably going to get ALOT of people into PC gaming, and the custom pc space
I'll give them credit where it's due
They may make riser cables that catch fire, and then lie about the replacement they were sending people
But this is legitimately a great thing they've done here
If only it wasnt the saame price as buying the exact machine as a pre built. I'm not saying it should be MSRP but I would hope it would be a little cheaper.
@@dawsonswain7233 I can get behind this. The only reason it doesn't bug me AS much, is because at least I'm not paying them that money to mess up building my PC for me
I trust myself to do it right the first time. The worst is when you pay them that money, and you end up having to tear the prebuilt apart yourself to fix an issue
@@Spideryote ur better off buying parts urself u save more money and get good deals on parts except gpus
@@capsikseason You're right, but this isn't something for people who have the knowledge to do so already
This is for people who want to ensure their products are compatible out of the box for an easy first time building experience
As a technical writer and someone familiar with book printing, NZXT have gone above and beyond with this manual. Just the fact that all of it is printed in color says a lot. All the extra illustrations that are just there to make you feel better about your experience are also great even though they could have easily skipped those to save money and no one would have complained. Now that they have this, they can easily use it as a base and make manuals for other builds much quicker or just make it a bit more general and sell it as a manual for how to build any PC. Of course, they'll probably keep it exclusive to their kits since that's a clear competitive advantage. Awesome stuff!
As another tech writer, I concur. (Now I'll nervously reread my comment for errors 😅)
What I love about this “build kit” system is the fact that you get everything you need to build a pc, an insane manual, 24/7 customer support, windows 10 and a 2-year warranty, and an affordable gpu with everything else compatible ($3-400 to build it yourself right now rather than buy the kit)
I’d love to see them keep this system because it helps people like me who don’t know that much about building a pc or how to install anything.
Yes this book is well done and just so adorable.....i half expected popups lol.....look at Moe dance! im sorry, it really is the most user friendly manual ive ever seen
Just that this wasn't written by a Chinese google translate service makes this impressive!
Update; I tried to order it multiple times and the order would go through, but got canceled for some reason. I tried everything to get it to work but eventually gave up. I ordered a pc from build redux instead.
(Yes I am very sad)
Thank god NZXT came out with this as I was still using the Verge guide to build pc’s.
Gpu market going back to last year prices would be refreshing
good thing not many people used the Verge guide, else we would have thermal paste shortage as well
Verge is bad example.
Oh no
@@fist003 Tweezers too
This is really well done. Would've loved one of these back when I got started learning through trial and (mostly) error
i am just building my 1st pc soon got the torrnt pc case and getting the dark hero mb with 5900x and a 3080 i really hope i can do it tbh
23:58 The manual does warn you that the IO shield is sharp.
That it does. Good catch!
when building my first pc I gashed my entire thumb with the damn IO shield I was pissed haha
@@blvck.8197 Well Paul from Paul's Hardware, once said that a blood sacrifice is part of the pc building experiment. HaHa
@@pwcorgi2000 yea he wasn't kidding 😂
@@blvck.8197 A blood sacrifice for good fps!
I'd love to see Lyle attempt one of these build guides. Of course, he doesn't need it, but just for demonstration purposes :)
Don't rEad my name__````.
Jay two cents done it also.
Jayz2 did it with a friend who isn't super familiar and it went well.
Dawid does Tech Stuff did a build with his wife, which went well on almost all accounts.
Really appreciate NZXT putting out this kind of product. It's brilliant and encourages people to do it themselves which doesn't necessarily benefit NZXT in the long run. It's pro-consumer and makes me want to buy their products more.
This is the handbook NZXT give to new employees for their first builds ;o)
really? thats dope
@@yonisabdi2814 No Idea, hence the winky lol
this build guide thing NZXT is doing is very refreshing to the PC space.
NZXT should have called it the BLDIY. Build it yourself.
Wit
That is actually a very good name/catchy marketing phrase.
You do marketing?
I don't need that manual or tutorials, or even Bitwit videos. I hear that the Verge has an excellent demonstration on how to build a PC, Lyle enjoyed watching it.
I was really impressed with this, back when I did my first build I bought a couple of books and they were nowhere near as good as this one. That was years ago, perhaps there are better books out there nowadays, but it would be cool if NZXT would sell the book on amazon for a reasonable price.
Just seeing that manual straight out of the box, I'm reminded of lego kits. So, Lego for PC builders?
PC building is considered adult Legos.
I used to use twist ties on cable management. I don't anymore because after a few years the plastic sheath dries then exposes the metal wire, introducing a potential short hazard.
I know the price of this is pretty expensive, but still, this is a great kit for those that want to learn but are too scared to try to build their own PC. Plus, you have one contact for warranty issues: NZXT. So that's probably worth the price of admission whereas those of us that build using hand-picked parts from Microcenter, NewEgg, etc, we are at the mercy of each part's manufacturer. So bravo to NXZT for this kit.
It sucks not choosing the stuff you really want like faster ram or better gpu. But getting the gpu way closer to msrp and actually getting a rtx 3000 series is worth it
That guide is very thorough, props to NZXT for doing that for someone that’s building a pc for the first time.
As someone with an incredibly outdated PC, and as someone that's been considering buying a prebuilt from NZXT, I love that they've come out with this. I've never built a PC myself before because it's always seemed so intimidating. Being responsible for building my own rig sounds terrifying. But honestly, as cringe as the whole treasure hunt adventure may be to some, seeing the way they've laid out the guidebook has definitely made it seem more lighthearted and fun.
Plus the anxiety of having a prebuilt being damaged during shipping is essentially gone. So I'm definitely considering biting the bullet and buying this at some point.
As someone who's built several PCs over the years, I can assure you that it is NOT as hard as you think it is. This is DEFINITELY something you can do. Expect to spend about an afternoon working on it. If you buy this kit and use a little bit of common sense, you'll have absolutely no problem. I love the way the book is laid out and while I agree with most of his minor criticisms, they are in fact minor. You should have no trouble at all putting that thing together. You CAN do it!
Hey Kyle, in the video walkthrough NZXT made, for the cpu installation they actually do tell you to move the motherboard arm sideways to lift it up
14:00 fun fact: this year i built my first pc... one of the first thing that happened was that i dropped my cpu xD it had 7-8 bent pins which i straightened up, sweating like crazy and mad af at myself with tweezers and a sewing needle from my mom. It worked and my pc is up and running, but honestly... it still freaks me out to this day xD
Damn man that'd be sketchy asf, I'd be so pissed off. Good for sticking with it and persevering to fix the pins.
@@sj-red Even tho it was painfully stressful, it came with a feel of proud to accomplish something like that haha
@@xXPazifistaXx Of course man, I built my first pc in September 2020 (luckily before the whole GPU shortage). Didn't bend any pins fortunately but it certainly feels good when it all comes together 😀
I bent some pins on the USB 3 front panel header on my board in my build. That was a sweaty moment for me too
@@abeeinspace yh lol least it ain't no CPU but I can imagine 😂
This would have made a perfect "Lyle" video.
@@johnfran3218 STFU from the Book of STFU.
Your channel on the guide to building the PC has really helped me, was able to build my self a decent pc that can handle a lot of things, really appreciate it....
Back in the '60s there were Heath kits! A build it yourself color TV. It required that you have an oscilloscope and a soldering gun.
Omg I remember those Heath kits! Wow, what a blast from the past. Thanks! I was just a wee one in the 1960s, but I remember my dad getting those delivered and building stuff. He was an electrician and he used those kits to teach me stuff. 🙂
this is something we in sweden has had for years nice to see other brands branching out and doing this
IKEA for the win! 👏
You should make a bios tutorial video including drivers and over clocking. Stuff like that.
These were the exact specs i was looking at, once i saw you unbox it i immediately purchased it. now im a happy gamer
5:50 I almost had a heart attack with the way he pulled that GPU out of the box
Yoooooo I love Bitwit been watching the channel for years. Keep up the great content!!!!
I’m really impressed with the book! All the illustrations are amazing and they explained every step that’s easy to understand for everyone. Well done NZXT!
I think this is a good concept of NZXT, you bought a prebuilt pc but u have to assemble it and with that u can also learn how to build one! a good learning experience! This is quite brilliant
The thing that would make this the best and prolly outsell every pre-built is you can customize parts u wants gpu cpu motherboard
This is a great all-in-one kit for a first time builder. Reminds me of the barebone systems you could get, but this is even easier because you can get all of the components under one brand. The step-by-step guide with visuals is a very nice addition. This kit also makes RMA requests easier too since you only have to deal with one merchant. And of course the ability to get a GPU at a reasonable price without getting gouged.
Don't know why I'm watching but i did buy my son an nzxt pre build (streaming plus pc) for Christmas which he loves. Just wanted to say you have a good presence on video, explaining everything clearly. Not sure I'll ever need this advice but just wanted to sayreally good video.
Ive never used anything from NZXT but I love their aesthetics. All their products look so slick.
I love the idea of this, I hope they're still doing it in 2024. That booklet is sick.
Pretty legit manual honestly. I think this would be perfect for anyone new and especially as a tool for a youngster doing their own first solo build.
I saw this yesterday and it is just perfect for me(in theory) I am from a country where DIY pc parts are few and far between and stores that does have pc parts they are all outdated e.g gtx 1050's and AMD FX cpu's Having all components in on box and having to deal with only 1 company for warranty is beautiful and it would be simple to ship, this is exactly what the market need right now...GG nzxt
P.S love the vids kyle,be good my dude
I built my first PC without any BLD guides like this. I had to figure it out with the manufacturer manuals and calling them up. Now I am a pro at it.
Props to NZXT for being intelligent enough, and respectful enough to their customers, to hire a proper technical writer to prepare an actual assembly guide.
I ordered one of these after watching jay have someone build it. Super excited
With step by step instructions maybe Kyle won’t brick anything 🌚
Love you Kyle! You & Jay made me get into PC gaming now I’m the person family and friends talk to about PC stuff
My mom bought me this Tuesday. It’s coming next Tuesday but won’t be getting on until christmas lol. Can’t wait tho. Never played on a gaming pc before
Can we all just appreciate how absolutley JACKED kyle is? Holy shit those forearms are HUGE.
aayyyooooo
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the book they've added. I wish we all could get more tangible items like that. Could you imagine them having "Computer History as a book (for example) in that art style.
i love your restraint when you had to say the H510 was only a mid tower case and nothing else.
Jay's video showed what the user experience would be like for someone who doesn't really know a lot about computers, but this one showed off the instructions book in a much more granular detail, even including a bit of constructive criticism. This is why we watch multiple channels.
Well Done NZXT! It would be wonderful if other pc companies use a similar model as this.
I remember the first PC I built, the instructions that came with the motherboard were printed in this cheapass little booklet written in broken English. It was quite difficult, and if I'd been even a little bit stupider I'd have ruined the whole thing. But this? ANYONE could follow this. This is really fantastic.
This is a good gift for maybe a 12-18 year old who wants a pc but the parents want them to learn something along the way or if they want to also want to have a project to do together with a son or daughter. I think it’s very good
Corsair's self build guide's cable management page is just a ball of yarn, with a "good freaking luck" banner over it.
They did a great job on the guide, and the system overall seems like a decent value.
You could probably get better prices if you shopped around, but given the convenience factor of a one stop shop, I'd say it's decent.
It clearly shows that Kyle is very knowledgeable in PC building, when he suggested NZXt about the potential of cutting oneself when putting the rear I/O shield. Soooh gREAt!
Kyle, this is awesome. Snuggling up with a blanket and a hot cup of cocoa on a cold winter's night, while Kyle works hard building an NZXT computer for Santa tonight. 🥂🍾
11:56 they have the notch pictured there in a circle. They do indeed mention it, just not with words/
Great video :D Really enjoying the way NZXT went with their BLD Kit.
This is actually brilliant and so well made! This & your video all in one is going to help me so much with building my pc.
It's a great idea and well done. Also, if you browse to one of the options they have available you can download the whole guide as a pdf - which is really nice, you can read through it and see if you feel like you can follow it before you purchase.
This is what the verge pc builder needed
I have never seen you wearing Raycon Earbuds in any of your build videos even though you say you wear them while doing so.
They require creators to stick to a strict script to be paid. Raycons are shit, everybody that is sponsored by them knows this, but they pay money, so I dont really blame him for taking the sponsor
How Kyle handled that 3060 gives me anxiety.
40:25
Personally the first troubleshooting step I'd do once the case is open is check that the front panel connectors are plugged in, always found those to be quite flimsy and easy to accidentally unplug while working on other parts.
Best most honest raycon ad I’ve seen
27:11 got me laughing him stuttering and the. A odd cut
i actually only do PC cleaning and maintenance during power outages. it's the only time where i don't feel the need to rush things. :P
Wish it was a tad cheaper than the original, same price as the pre built one from their website, prolly still going to get it and build it thought So I can learn for future
Technical writing is so much better for the average joe than 10 to 20 years ago, NZXT well done respectable price and quality. Great job Kyle, acting like you were a novice pc builder seemed to be easy HAHA! It was refreshing to watch a video of yours without you being strung out on redbull, must have been an early morning shoot.
8:05 that motherboard has one beast of a vrm, actually the best in its price.
Well...buying is more feasible than building from scratch with the GPU crises. This is a great idea. I might grab one of these.
I just bought this my 3rd pc first build because I always try to build one during gpu crisis’s excited I got the streaming plus with a 3070
Well done kyle got lethal lethal lava land stuck on my head haha
When you're unpackaging stuffs and see packing foam do you eye it up for your next keyboard build? I'm cursed with that affliction! 😂
41:39 what’s funny is I went 2 years not knowing that my dram was running at 2133MHz 🤣
Oof
This takes "PC building is like legos" to a whole other level
This is a big step up from the NZXT that would respond to customer queries on Twitter with dank memes. Glad they got their ass into gear.
"i gonna build step by step as how NZXT instruct to do"
31:17 "i gonna ignore all those steps and do whatever i want" xD
This kit would be a lot better if they only supplied the H510 Flow with it, I feel like a lot of users are gonna be in for a shock when they see how much of a hotbox the original is. Hopefully it's possible to buy the mesh front panel for it separately so that people can fix that without having to move their build to another case, or be stuck using it with the side panel off, something that's not an option for everyone as people have pets and kids which can't be trusted near an open PC chassis
But also remember that its a 3060 ti
@@edmundojosezuazuachapa1612 And? The 3060ti is a totally capable gaming card. I fail to understand what the point of stating that is. The kit is customizable dude, they just sent 3060tis out because it's more affordable and there's probably enough volume of them that they can get enough to send out review samples with their kit, nothing more. There's already been several versions of this kit reviewed by others besides kyle
@@TheOriginalFaxon theres actually just to options right now and both are 3060ti’s, and what i meant was that its not the same using their h510 non flow case with a 3080 than a 3060ti
@@edmundojosezuazuachapa1612 I still don't get the point though, that case is a hot box regardless. It was on the line even with mid range parts in it. It's not a terrible useless case, but you damn well bet anyone who keeps up with tech news is gonna notice and ask for a flow front panel at least lol
@@TheOriginalFaxon agree, they should have added the new flow model. But anyway, do you think that kid is worth it for $1599 considering the lack of gpu’s in the market?
1:49 or you can watch the verge's PC Build Guide video. It's pretty entertaining, to say the least.
As someone who grew up in the early 00’s I wish this concept existed back then.. PC building has become to much better today and accessible.
I have a 6 year old NZXT Phantom case and I think other than the molex power connectors (which you can chop off) it's a great case. has 3 drive bays behind a door and 6 hard drive bays, neither need screws unless you're mounting a hard drive.
not bad and honestly I like their old designs better than their newer ones because the new ones are so boring.
I Just got my Kit and some of the parts have been switched from this video. The PSU is a C650 from NZXT. The graphics card is an ASUS OC edition. It has two fans instead of three.
U buyed the new version prob
Or depend on ur country
“Is it BLD or Build?..”
Pans around and box in front of him says BLD 😂
LOL the plushie from the last WRKHRS3 vid is in the background!
I'd love to buy the book separately. Props to NZXT honestly, other than not mentioning XMP/DOCP/whatever, the guide seems very comprehensive and friendly to the average person getting into PC gaming.
I dont understand the wi-fi cards. Why not just include a mobo that has it?
Glad Nzxt does this.
I would buy that book separately just in case any thing would go wrong, and it looks cool on display
I was looking at prebuilts but I might go this route for my first pc
Watching your videos is so good and interesting so many builds me as a console person that’s tryna move to pc this year it’s hard to find gpu’s for a good price and they probably won’t move down in price for months or years for my first ever pc I’ll find one eventually
Wow, free toenail cutters, screwdrivers, and tweezers too? Sold.
Sweet way for a first timer to learn, this is great. Thank you.
Dang this is very nice kit
But I think I got a very good deal on my pre built but this actually shows you how to build it which I think is a better learning experience
i spent 1.5k on a really good pc with a 3070 and used your guide to build it but it was an outdated guide and by the time i realized i needed a new one it was too late. please make an updated one
Where was this 20 years ago when I was learning to build on AMD 486 DX barebones systems?
I'm not sure if they will offer it independently in the future but I would imagine there would be a decent market for the manual/book alone for 1st time builders, especially for kids.
I think NZXT is wrong about the tubing on the AIO it should always be mounted on the bottom because of permeation overtime will allow air to get into the block instead of being trapped in the top Reservoir. Also no mention of just how much bloatware comes pre-packaged
Honestly...if I had a child that would like a PC, I would definitely choose this kind of stuff. It's just like how people are spreading awareness for DIY/Mechatronics and encouraging younger children to get creative with all sorts of projects, if you know what I mean.
This is actually a great build guide. I just need to know if I need to do anything in the bios before I boot to the os
i wonder if you scan that QR code in beginning if it directs you to this video :) would be awesome.
I was using my raycon earbuds when u talked about it
hmmm.....I don't see a table in the box though and as I recall one particular guide said I would need one....
All kidding aside though....nice job NZXT!
