      Paul's Hardware I love your content Man, 6 months ago I went from knowing absolutely nothing about computers, or how to build them. To today where I've had a operating computer that I built from scratch by myself with nothing but yours, Kyles and a few of jayz2cents videos to go off of.
      If it wasn't for These types of tutorial Style videos that you guys put so much of your time and effort and money into I wouldn't have the sweet gaming rig I have now. I'm currently saving up check by check to build my wife one as well. Thanks for all that you do!

      Paul, what is your go to way to nuke all of the "bloatware" on windows 10? Things like candy crush soda saga, sketchbook, the like 3 xbox applications, etc. I can't seem to get them to go away permanently, despite what numerous sites/tutorials say does the trick.

      Eye candy is why.. older Bios often had the exact same feature set and some had quite a bit more than normal. UEFI just added a mouse driven graphical interface over the top of the exact same functionality the BIOS already handled.

    I just wanted to say a big thanks to you. I built my first PC by following many of your tutorials. I knew almost nothing about how to build a PC, and now I'm rocking a Ryzen 3700x + RTX 2070 Super combo which I built entirely! The feeling of accomplishment is unreal. Everything worked like a charm. I was reluctant to do this at first, because of the price of the whole build. However, I feel like your channel, as well as others, just took my hand and guide me through the myriad of options out there, and here I am now. So keep up the awesome work, I am pretty sure that there are many people as gratefull as I am. Cheers from Chile! :)

Now I agree that BUILDING a computer is reaaaly easy but SETTING it up is still an unknown Battle Ground. Getting into the BIOS, installing Windows 10 from a Usb is something that makes alot of people not wanting a pc and even less building one. Just dont like these PC elitist that bragh about their computer knowledge. Put your effort into good use and help the Community grow instead of showing your insecurity's online.

    Tip: If you install Windows 10 without being activated and without being connected to the internet at first, you can personalize all the settings to your liking because Windows does not know that its not activated yet. Then you can connect to the internet and run updates, then Windows recognizes that its not activated and then you won't be able to change anything from then on without being activated, but at least you set everything up how you like it before it detects that its not activated. Just a little hack i figured out to have access to all personalization before connecting to the internet for the first time.

      If I pick a case for around £60 and get the 250gb m.2 and a 1tb hd Iv worked out to around £560 gbp which I pretty happy with really and that’s everything new apart from the rx 580 that I paid £112 for on an eBay auction

      FlamezZ FragzZ you can make it even cheaper if you got a different b450 board because the one Iv gone for is around £120 but you can pick some decent ones up for £70-£80 I just like the specs of the once Iv picked and you could save £10 with just 16gb ddr 3000 instead of 3200. I think that’s pretty much it though. I think my gpu was a bargain a lot of the sold auctions were £125 plus so £112 if it works is a steal lol and it should work because he said it was like new in the listing so if it doesn’t I’m covered with PayPal and I’m planning on up grading that anywhere after Christmas to something a bit more modern I just something cheaper until then.

    I am in my 60s now. 30 years ago I would build PCs. Then it was FDisk and Format C: from a boot disk. When I sold them I always insisted on a Kosha copy of DOS, being included, which the customer had to pay for, and would get the licence. (I could not compete when crooks, copied DOS for free. Tut tut.)
    This is all new and I am glad to see MS have stopped rip offs. I am building my 1st PC again for my son as a games machine, and this is so inspirational. Many thanks. I do miss dropping to DOS for stuff though. I became an IT trainer in MS office advanced, now retired.
