    it took me six hours, two of actually building and the other four were me just taking breaks after I plugged in a cable and felt like that deserved a half hour break, but I finally built her and shes beauty. thank you so much for all your videos, they really helped me feel more comfortable and confident when I sat down to build my PC!

    I'm 46. Console gamed for, well ever. I am building my first ever PC for my son and I for Christmas. This video is a major help to me. I opened up the back of my case and my butthole puckered when I saw all the cables that have nothing to do with the PSU. It's not really that hard. Now if only I knew how to game on a keyboard and mouse.

      It's not hard to learn my man! You just need to know that you will not be perfect at first. Just like learning anything. But, once you do, much like pc gaming, there are a ton of options. You can customizer keyboards, mice, and pads, monitors. Everything. Also, you can even use a controller in your pc. Anyone you want, in case you don't feel like switching. All about enjoying yourself is my philosophy.

      It's really quite simple, actually. First, you wanna firmly grasp the spinner with either your left or right hand. Then proceed to extend the arm, connected to said hand, outwards, above your wastebasket and simply relax your hand and let it fall into the receptacle. Congratulations.

    This comment is long overdue, you helped me learn how to build a computer almost 2 years ago, I couldn't afford anything fancy but I built me a med tier computer and it was a hell of a ride learning and building it, the way computers work is so interesting and i loved all the stuff i learned through my journey.. Thank you for everything! I remember watching this video 3 times a day studying on every little thing along with other forums and helpful tips to make sure i don't do anything wrong, your video helped me so well that i remembered everything by the time all my parts came. The only frustrating part was hooking up some of those smaller wires with the little 1 needle pins to my motherboard but i eventually got it after some research. Thank you for the well detailed guide, you're a great teacher. lol

      This actually applies to a lot of things in life. If you don't care to look into how things work, everything seems like magic. If you invest some time and learn, you discover things work in fascinating ways and it wasn't actually that magical at all.
