Buying a new computer is something that typically requires a lot of thought, because there is so much to consider. How much RAM to get, what kind of CPU, should you build it or buy it off the shelf? This video covers pretty much every possibility for what to look for. This includes the specs of the computer of course, but also what to look for in each hardware component, such as the CPU, Graphics card, RAM, Storage SSD or HDD, and even optical disc drives.

in time you’ll learn
Could you make a video for people who are "new" to Pc's or don't know a lot about them
yes please
This was supposed to be that video according to the intro lol
Yes i need help
Idk know anything about PCs lol yes please
yea, this video was kinda confusing
Rule #1
Stay away from macs
Macs are very good for video editing, in anything else this rule works fine
Alex Butters it depends on the hardware, it being a mac doesn't automatically make it good for video editing.
Alex Butters Windows is also fine for video editing.
Troy White
Too late
Macs were actually good for gaming before the 90's. The Macintosh version of Wolfenstein 3D had quite a few enhancements.
I'm watching this knowing I wont get a PC in the near future. A boy can only dream

"What is the most important part of a pc?"
Answer: the power cable cuz if u don't have it, u can't turn on the pc so it's useless

This is cool and all... But this begs the question:
*"Whats the wecommended amount of DEDotated WAM to run a server?"*
3-4 gigabytes for a vanilla server if you are just playing with a few friends, if you use mods use 5-6 GBs. If you have a heavily modded server with say more than 250 mods you should probably use 8+ gigabytes. And if you plan on owning a server with more than 20 active players and running it 24/7 you will probably need to find a server provider unless you are very experienced and have the needed hardware.
John Smith well... your not wrong
@@johnsmith3453 well yes but we're not only talking Minecraft here...
@@johnsmith3453 I have an old PC I'm thinking of turning into a Minecraft server if possible. The sticker on it says it has 6 GB of DDR3 and I think that's the older one that can't be replaced with DDR4, so if I can only put in DDR3 will I need more GB than with DDR4?

I had no idea what any of this meant but I’m buying a pc
Commentary Cult make sure to build ur own.
@@Anonymous-em1oy thats expensive
Rise it can be as expensive you want it to be. If you want it to be real nice you may want to spend a bit more on parts but it’s definitely better than buying a overpriced pre built piece of shit
RagingAlmond Surely you need to know a lot about a PC to know where everything goes?
Quinnoge 99 honestly no. If you go to a micro center near you and tell them your price range they will get the parts together for you then it’s really easy to put together
Dude how can you have a CPU *and* GPU in the *same* system?? I mean the human eye can only see -9 fps! Also, why BUY a PC? Just buy a case and download the ram and ssd.

Good stuff ThioJoe and love you software Videos, I'm a 51 year old PC gamer (from 486 on up) and have found that the main reason I need a new PC is the processor is to weak for the new games that come out. The easiest thing for beginner PC gamers is to find the highest end game on the market (2018/2019 for now) and get a PC that matches the recommended requirements or better. Just did my first build and would like to share some tips that I have found out. 1) due to copyright protect you can't play Blueray or DvD through HDMI cable. 2) optical disk drives are good for mix song CD's you can play in your car, if it gets damaged or lost you can burn a new one. 3) if you want to watch movies you can only download to the drive that the OS is on, you can't put them on storage devices (SD cards, external storage, ect..), for laptop or tablet I would recommend a device that has a large amount of device storage. 4) buy at you own risk from basement builders, main problem is if the OS is copied it will my not be recognized by Microsoft and you will have to buy the OS which could run you an extra $100.
7:00. "Especially if you buy one prebilt". Joe I don't know about you but the average person doesn't build laptops
Hugs bruh we’re talking desktops here
This video is all about desktops. You can't make a custom laptop *on your own*, because it requires the hardware companies to fit the parts to the case.
@Ben laptops?
@Ben it's all good
@@grenadeout562 ..you can use a phone as a laptop by just connecting it to a larger lcd.
Make sure its not a mac
Thats all you need to know
Go Windows!
TBH macs are really good. You may say they suck but Macs aren't for gaming. They're for work usage so I don't get why people are hating on it so much.
MineCraft JellyBean do you want a dual-core cpu for $1500?
ive had my macbook pro for over three years it still dose its job very well!
well i game on it its not great so i wanna buy a pc!!
Thank you ThioJoe. My head is spinning with all the different specifications.
hahahahahah wtf!
Why buy a computer for gaming when you watch thiojoe's videos?
Yes its more fun.
ismail khalaf nope
ismail khalaf yes he is a joke
emperor augustus says who a 10 year old?
Coz people game and this vid is for more than people who watch him
Thanks for all your videos. I've learned a LOT from them. If something goes wrong with my computer, I look it up on UA-cam, and can usually find help on your channel. Keep them coming. I look forward to them.
Hey Thio Nice video! You talked about TPM when you recommended windows home but forgot to mention that bitlocker (which uses TPM for storing keys) it's only available in windows pro and entreprise.
What you must know before subscribing to ThioJoe, he’s a great reviewer 👍😇
Thanks man your videos really provide clarity. Your insight is helpful and I like the way systematically go over each issue.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Best Budget Gaming PC [under $600]
•GPU- GTX 1060 3GB Pascal Series Dual Fan
•CPU- Intel i5 9400f
•Motherboard - Asus TUF B360 Plus Gaming
• RAM (Memory)- Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz. You can buy 16 GB also. (8*2=16)
• Cabinet- Antec GX202 (ATX)
• PSU - Corsair TX-M Series 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold
These are used in my pc also and gives 60+ FPS in almost all PC games on ultra or very high settings.
Hope this will help someone.
ROMAN GAMER have very similar specs bought it 2 years ago off the shelf, now its dying so here i am educating myself
I would change gtx1060 with rx 570 and don't need that much wattage
@@legoongoon7548 Noice!
8x2gb ram isnt the same as 1 16gb ram. If you have 2 rams one of them is for backup. Not Bad for 600$ but 8gb is starting to Be the minimum for games nowadays. Id get a 16gb ram even If it costs a bit more
Hello ThioJoe !!
Your timing couldn't be better,i am indeed attempting to buy a new computer! I appreciate so much your advice and explanations and take everything under advisement what you say!

(fist bump)
Marko Oluič I'm about to buy one too so this is actually odd how this gets uploaded when I need it
AyeeScarface Yeah,it really comes handy,i am not an expert and i will surely use this tips under advisement when i decide what comp. to buy!That's why i like this channel,i learned a lot from ThioJoe and got plenty good tips how to optimize and secure my current one! Wishing you best of luck with your purchase,and i hope it will serve you well for many years to come! Have a great day,cheers 💻👍.

This was so much more informative and direct than other videos I’ve watched. Thanks buddy. I’m getting a computer in a couple days for some gaming, videos, music and anything else I wanna do. It’s gonna be my first pc. I’m looking into an ibuypower pc. I like your monitors. 32 inch? That’s the size I’m looking for. How much did they run you and what are they?
I watched your video more than thrice to get the details to buy a PC love your videos man! Keep it up! 😀
If you want a gaming pc, here are the OS's you should get: Windows 8, and Windows 10 home. 2 good choices, I have windows 10 home.
Johnny Ay What about Linux?
Would Windows 7 be too much? How much of a difference is between Windows 7 and 8?
Ok I might get that
@@jamesdot1700 nowadays windows 10 or nothing
Too many people don't research what they buy. My wife bought a car because it was 'cute'...
I bought HP EliteDesk g1 705 sff $150
Windows 10 pro
2tb hard drive
3.5-9ghz cpu
8gb ram
2gb video memory
Runs great
Steam is op
"really no downside, but it will cost you a little bit more." -ThioJoe 13:15
ThioJoe I 'm in the market for getting a new PC. It's been awhile since I build my last one and thinking of building my next one. thanks for pointing out some very important info. I needed a refresher for my next build. Thanks and keep up the good work my friend.
Nice informative video Michael Cera
this Joe how can u change a juke box which is using an ide to use a memory card.that is 64 ram it uses's a a 700 mb CD.

Things you need to build a pc
Processor (CPU)
Motherboard (MOBO)
Graphic Card (GPU)
Memory (RAM)
Storage (SSD or HDD)
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Case
After you've got all that search up a tutorial on youtube or let someone build the pc for you
Can you do a video on the best computer for 1000 or less. Laptop and Desktops. Maybe 3 of each to choose from. Thanks.

I have lots of movies and shows on DVD, so I'm very glad I still have a DVD drive. It'll be a must on my next computer too.
awesome bro...deserve a heart , not just like😍😍
I have learned many I just started pc gaming and props to this guy
Theo can you do a video on Monitors because some computer newbies get really slow response times and can you explain what aspect ratio is and ultra wide screens also, whether or not you get a double or even triple monitor setup and the pros and cons of all of them?
Voltrox make sure you buy them in colour not in B&W .
ahahah yeah verry true xD
you want the typical 16:9 aspect ratio, and 21:9 if you're going with ultrawide. if you're spending for a high refresh rate (say, 144 hz.) make sure to have enough power to run those games in 144 fps. G-sync or freesync is amazing. Don't waste money on 4K monitors if you're only gonna game on them.
1080p 144hz is enough for me
Great point on SSDs for laptops. I've had several mechanical hard drives die on laptops, and hardly any on desktops.
@weatherdynamics:
that's because hard-drives are designed the same [way] as those old vinyl-record players (except that instead of the disc being vinyl or whatever it is, it's copper) --- they don't like being jostled-around-or-moved-around while the disc is spinning --- so it's NOT a good-idea to be moving-around the laptop while the hard-drive--activity-light is running / while the hard-drive is in the middle of doing something.
Already got a gaming pc but I just enjoy Thio talking about pcs lol
love your videos dude
The most important part for a pc is to have minecraft pixels
You guys should watch lots and lots of LTT and other videos about comps that seem interesting to you, I was just like you guys and now i know a lot about computers and it's genuinely interesting. Trust me figuring out the science of computers is more interesting than having a computer.
Ever single video like this I am watching feels like they are moking me
Great day mate!
Hey I'm here to explain all of the words and what they mean
Hard drive: Basically you can store a lot of storage in a Hard Drive, however it's hard to access the storage.
Ram Random Access Memory: Rams go along with the Hard Drive, Rams help with accessing that storage Rams also can store memory but very little memory so you have to have both for everything to run nice and smooth, let's say you're in Minecraft and you see your inventory, the inventory will be the Hard Drive and the Hotbar with be the Ram, You want to use a certain item in your inventory so you put it to your hotbar so that you can access it.
Cpu Central Processing Unit: so lets say you want to generate a world in minecraft but first you have to get through the loading screen that's the cpu trying to process the hard drive to the ram.
Graphics Card/Gpu Graphics Processing Unit: When the cpu generates the world the Gpu generates the Graphics.
I hope my Minecraft explanations cleared everything up
At first I thought it said “Blowing a Computer” in the title
Any thoughts on making a more current video like this and others of yours since there’s been so many updates in technology?
You’re videos are awesome!
You said 'ThioJoe' in the video, and it was at that point i realized your name wasnt ThicJoe like i thought.
Disappointed.
That's listed on my birthday lists, so you should give us some the most importants.
Hi ThioJoe,
I always love your videos, very informative.
Excellent instructions for a beginner, like me. Clear and concise, too. Thank you
My pc got here Friday 🤦🏼♂️
he is straightforward.
Dude, you look like Ben Barnes
I don't know anything about pc this below just a copy past.
CPU: core i5 3330 3gen
RAM: 8gb ddr3 1600GHz
Store: ssd 128gb + hdd 500gb
VGA: Asus gtx 1060 3gb
Power Supply: X-700W
Fan RGB
Good or Bad? Should I buy?
Motherboard and graphics card are the most important parts about a pc
I recommend a Geforce 1080 Gtx ti as a graphics card
The most important part of a computer is not on the list. the most important part of a computer is the BIOS/UEFI Chip
They're built onto the motherbaord
ikr just go with dell because its a 100% chance of having a bios
THIO JOE- thank you for another excellent video, just proofing that you know what are you talking about it 👍🖥💻👍. Big Thanks from your Big Fan.
*uploded Just when I Wanted it...... Barely O:O*
idk if i want a pc or not, i’ve been gaming on console all my life but i’ve heard it’s hard to transfer over to pc. pc sounds and looks a lot better but i don’t wanna waste any money
Hey ThioJoe! can you make a video about the BEST Bluetooth Adapter out there!?:)
no
Just buy google home mini...
Thank you TJ, good call, planning to get a pc for my love and I don't know about pc for gamers. now I have a idea. appreciate !guy.
Good tips. Thank you.
Thanks! But I'll get a laptop.
Yes laptops are not computers
mr_gamer 192 well. Laptops are good if you are traveling a lot but yeah go for it
this is like someone offering you an iPad but you say "Thanks! But I'll get a tablet".
me too
if you go to your friends house or travel a lot then get a laptop, you’ll thank me later
Thks Thio , Very Helpful Thks For Postin ...
Great information. Loved explaining
Hello Thiojoe!

Thanks for your great video sir your videos are really useful and helps me a lot !
why am i watching it i will never buy a pc...
writen by an android 4.4.2 xD
well you're fucked
need to watch all your videos very helpfull....you deserve much more views and likes
Dont gave enough Smeckles, maybe later....2 years.....yay...
Excellent synopsis.
NOT BUY, BUILD ONE!!!
problem is, no warranty, no tech support, usually not cheaper, and there's a good chance that it won't perform as hoped for. why waste time building when you could be using.
BuzzCola 3 Bro, I live in another country, and buying parts is just expensive, I might end up paying 400 dollars for a 6th gen i5, and building a computer is not worth it; because I am switching from a ps4 to a pc, and the prices, combined with the lack of variety of parts in the country I currently live on, makes it hard to switch from one another... I am gonna end up buying a pre-built pc and save money to buy parts to upgrade it on the future, but man, do you think it's fair I have to pay nearly a thousand US dollars to buy a 1070ti?
Nitro Express dude that exactly whts going through my head I have $1000 to buy a pc right now and my head is fucking spinning and I dont know wht to do
a person can get advice on building your own computer, but what happens if it doesn't perform or maybe even work? then it's oops and you're in deep water. if you want to save money, checkout the Dell factory store for refurbished models. you get a warranty and support. the single thing that sold me on Dell was their online testing. using their support assistant, the whole computer is tested. it may take 15 to 30 minutes to test, but hard drives, ram, cpu and everything is tested. in my case, the test showed me that a lockup was caused by a bad stick of ram. EBay has some good deals, but stay with offerings by brick and mortar stores that offer a warranty. good luck.
Cotton Chops Seartch Tech deals 1000$ gaming pc THANK me later Promise (BUILD IT) It takes 1 Hour to build And you save probably 300$
Thank you so much that was really helpful
Your new computer should also mine bit coins
I saw a lot of comments saying they dont understand what your saying. Watch about 300 linustechtips videos and then you will understand
Y'know, for having 1'000'000+ subs, you don't really get that many views...
Video released 1 minute ago
ThioJoe 4 minutes ago. You oughta get at least 1k in the first 5 minutes if you have 1mil subs.
Cringe Control i think most of his subs are inactive or he bought the acc
Cringe Control because he has a tech channel and most people don't watch tech videos unless they need help with tech related stuff
And for only having 3 views you talk out your ass to a successful UA-camr who provides daily information to hundreds of thousands of viewers. It’s funny how you try to calculate how many views he should get in a specific time frame when you don’t even make videos. Get your goofy ass outta here
Thank you for all this info. I'm looking for a low cost computer for video editing, and this helps!
Depending on your budget the 8th generation Intel i5 CPU or newest Ryzen 5 are good enough. I got the i5 8400 in a HP Pavilion Desktop. The more cores in your CPU the better for video processing. The Intel I5 and I7 have their own GPU built in, that can save hundreds of dollars until you want to add in a GPU later. Check the software you will be editing on first. Then build your computer around that. I suggest the combination SSD with HDD storage (or get external memory storage it does not cost too much). and 12 GB or higher Ram. Also you will want the USB 3.1 connection so you can transfer large files fast. A case with the new USB C connection will be good for future upgradability as that is a new standard.
I want your opinion and it's so important Joseph!!
my i5 core laptop has a NVIDIA 920M graphics card is it good or not?
Man's not hot
Well How i see it it’s Nice u can still run some games likes CS:GO and dont get shit if your setup is shitty it can still run games That i think u usually doing so. Yeah it’s good! Sry for Mah english i am bad
The Master Nah that card is really bad, like horse shit bad.
Bad card, and i guess you didn't follow thio's advice to actually know what model that i5 is.
Johan Leksell I bought the it later year, before I found this channel also It's an Acer Aspire E15
Thank you for this video. My birthday is on the 4th of October and I’m getting a PC. Now I know what to look out for.

how
O hell yeah, it's far better than trying to get good or true information from a best buy sales tec.
@@jeffinman7606 what's wrong with bes buy employee? Do they lie?
I surely can't say that about all them in general. But a couple I've ask questions or they just offered up opinions was not all correct. Not all the people working in the computer department are always well experienced and full of facts. Some tend to bullshit like a car salesman to help close a deal to put it nicely. Fake it till they make it. So if you've done your homework before going to the store you'll be just fine.
A thumb drive can fail, a cd or dvd disc only goes bad if you physically damage it or you do not store it correctly. Also it is better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.. I watch movies on disc still. I also work on older computers and they need drivers on a cd some times.
Off the shelf PCs are almost never worth it.
Omega Henry Really depends what shelf you're getting it from. If you shop around online you can find nice gaming rigs at cheaper rates than you can build them (assuming you'd want all the same parts) just because these companies buy parts in bulk.
Well, if you are buying from the lower end of the spectrum (i.e. not 4k 60 fps) then prebuilts are cheaper.
wrong. don't be an elitist.
Same with laptops
What does off the shelf mean?
ThioJoe looks identical to my best friend from high school if he had never switched from weed to meth and gone insane.
It's really strange to watch him talk. My friend and I were into PC gaming together from the Tiberian Sun days until roughly the Red Alert 3 days, when he got into the stuff. We used to jabber about PC stuff all the time.
Trippy.
Tks. It helped me buy a computer.
Thanks for the tips
I really loved it
