    Well sir, as a first time PC builder, I can say I am typing this on my new PC. Your guide IMO was the best out of all the ones I watched. took me roughly 4 hours to build, was nervous as shit the whole way. But with your help i succeed, now to get my hands on a 3060 or 3070 so i can replace my old 1070 i had to put in it for now. I never like videos but today I will be liking yours. Thanks for the help.

He actually took his time and explained how to plug the small cables into the front-panel header. His explanations setting up the RGB fans and cabling were better than every other video I've watched so far. AWWWWWSOME job. *Mind Blown*. Thanks a ton.

    As an old dude who always wanted to build my own PC, I want to say Thank You. Your effort and time in producing this video was well worth it. The hardware part of it didn't bother me near as much as the software end of it. I need not have worried, you covered it all. I now have a hot new system, built to MY specs (not anyone else's) that blows my 15 year old rickety system away. (I know, low bar, but I've used others newer systems and mine is at least as fast) Your style of presenting, and your calm "can do" attitude is exactly what I needed. Again, THANK YOU. I greatly appreciate your efforts.

Just different parts. I’d say if you’ve done the research and watched this video only, you could have everything from unboxed to getting your the startup screen in about 3 hours (based on absolute amateur skill). This is 100% the best video I’ve found. I’m currently at the part about downloading windows media tool onto the usb. But seeing a computer you yourself built is by far one of the best feelings ever. Especially when the first boot up screen loads up.

    Your video gave me the confidence and knowledge to setup my first PC and it just feels amazing! After doing a ton of research, buying my parts and finally building it, I went from complete hardware noob to feeling like I actually know what I'm working with now. I can't wait to test its limits with 3D modelling and also being able to talk to others about the specs, it's a whole new world opening up! Thank you so much 😍

I'm especially thankful that you covered the part AFTER the computer is put together in such a comprehensive way, because that was the part I was really scared of. Putting all the physical components together doesn't seem so hard, but actually installing windows from scratch (side note, thank you for saving me from buying windows full price) and messing with the RAM settings? That was gold. I'm typing this all out from my shiny new gaming build :D

      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
      The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
      - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
      - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

      2. Gpu (optional, you can use a cpu with intergreted graphics to save some money but make sure to check if it has it)
      3. Motherboard (make sure it supports your cpu, eg: amd motherboard for amd cpu and vice versa with intel)
