Radex - HG I haven't, although from what she said I know she does a lot of programming related videos but she's not really that much into the hardware side of things. I know she's knowledgeable, I was just teasing her that she'll probably turn into a hardware enthusiast as well pretty soon.
Chrymzon yeah, both ethereum and zcash rised the prices of almost every AMD gpu and 1080/1070 (surprisingly, 1070 is more requested for mining than 1080, as mining is better with gddr5 memory than with gddr5x)
Can confirm, ether hodler and aspiring developer here. Though mining's dropped off recently and will be essentially frozen after the next network update. Ethereum is the "world's first singleton computer" or as per it's wiki: "open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes." or the "Fifth element" according to Alchemy or what extraterrestrial space is filled with according to pre-modern astronomy
I'm surprised by the comment section. I was almost expecting some fanboy comments about the GPU or CPU choice, but... nothing? That's pretty awesome. I think this is the first time in ages I've seen a video remotely related to hardware that doesn't have those kinds of comments. Other than that: Sure, the GPU will choke at higher resolutions and higher settings, but going by what you said you want the system to do, I'd say it's a solid setup for a sensible price.
Thank you for the vlog. I have nothing interesting to comment but it's being interesting to watch. I also realized I knew nothing about PC parts when I built mine some months ago, it's incredible, there's so much to know about. I'm thankful a co-worker helped me.
* sees recommended video on UA-cam homepage * is about pc building * clicks on video * finds one of the most pleasant personalities on the site "Yeah, I'll go ahead and stick around for this video." And welcome to the Ryzen master race! It's a great place to be. By the way, I had a former coworker who had a WASD Code keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches, and they feel amazing for typing. I don't think they'd be great for gaming, though, so you might consider Brown switches as a good middle ground. I have brown switches on a WASD V2 custom, and it's treated me quite well over the past year.
I built my PC recently, and it's way easier nowadays (the blue connector on the blue socket, the red on the red, etc...), especially for the case connector (HDD LED, Front USB, Power / Reset Buttons). I built my first PC about 15 years ago, and it wasn't as standardized as it is today, you needed the manual of the motherboard, the manual of the case, the CPU, etc... and even then, it was difficult to know where to plug what. But it's a good thing, now at least it's way more accessible. Though I'm still not sure what you meant by the CPU power. Maybe it's different on your hardware, but usually, the CPU is powered by the motherboard directly (itself powered by ATX connectors). Anyway, congratz !! :D
Good job with the power supply, that's the one place you never want to skimp. A good quality PSU will last you at least 10 years through a lot of builds. Also 550W is perfect for a system that hits 250-300W because they are usually at peak efficiency around 60% load. Lower electric bills and less waste heat in the system, which also means less wear on components.
Maybe in memory speeds, if the b350 board has a beefy vrm it will deliver the same power as a x370. But my b350-prime plus reduces potential of OC a bit. I've heard stories of reduced benchmark scores; but i hit 1241 at 3066mhz @ 3,8ghz with background tasks. i hit a voltage wall at 3,825, i did 3,8 at 1,3v but if i tried 38,25x it wouldn't boot till i increased FOUR times to 1,32v and of course RAM despite doing 3200 with agesa 1.0.0.6 (latest bios, 806) can only do 3066 with 48ohm and 2T @ 1,425v. But i guess it's my 1600 mostly as most have weak IMC compared to 1600x as they just bin them better there, they're amd's 'special ' chips. Still b350 is very very close to 99.8% same, give or take either VRMs on a crappy power delivery, X370 just gives you sli/crossfire certification, and crosshair vi hero is a very stable board all things considered, But b350 prime-plus only cost me 79 quid vs. ga-b350-gaming 3 being 100 quid in UK. And crosshair was the price exactly three b350-plus, and i only had money for one. an 82 quid ab350-gaming m micro-atx was out of my reach, and this actually had less ram support; Running 1600 at 3,825ghz @ 1,32v with 3066mhz 16GB Vengeance LPX, Hynix die.
You're right not to be too shy to get a more expensive PSU. Not because it makes less noise or whatever, but because a bad unit could damage your PC. Congrats on the build though! :) Have fun with it!
Watching someone building a PC for the first time is so cute and funny ! You can feel the anticipation ! Even before opening the motherboard box you look so excited LOL !
Ya, I was in her shoes a few months ago. I parted my pc, every month when the new parts had arrived, my excitement was through the roof. I am surprised that my wife did not kill me during that time frame:)
So a gtx 1080 with dual 1440p set up... that would be nice. I was between 1080p at 144hz and a 1440p monitor... ended up going with a high refresh monitor. I hope you enjoy your new set up when you get it man
Wait you said you ordered everything at midnight and then got it all at 6pm the next day? Did Superman deliver those packages? How on earth did you get them in 18 hours?
I live in the Seattle area, where Amazon is head-quartered... so MAYBE they have larger fulfillment centers here (???) I was very surprised. Apparently I could've ordered up to 8AM and had it delivered by 9PM.
Ah yeah ok, probably came straight from the headquarters then. I live in the midwest, so the fastest possible option is 2 days, blew me away hearing 18 hours.
Idk what LA fashion is, so I guess I have to actually go outside and look at people, maybe walk to the actual city and look at more people, then get dirty states for looking at them, then I'll go home and eat a cup of sauerkraut. ._. (but no seriously, I typically go outside daily thankfully.........)
Gotta watch out for them tortoise poachers. They're gonna tranq you and steal your shell. And then make money off of the animal crushing video. Yep, that's humans for you!
I really enjoyed this video! I built my first PC 13 months ago and it was one of the best feelings ever to see it boot. I still have to do some optimizations but I'm already planning on what I could upgrade in the coming years.
That's convention, however to reverse it can actually be practical depending on the air pressure setup. If the net pressure inside is already positive, having an extra exhaust at the bottom rear can help remove heat from the graphics card in particular.
By the time the PSU fan has to turn on, the components of it would already be warm or hot, otherwise there's no need to turn on the fan. Meaning using it as an intake you'd introduce warmer air. Naturally you should create pressure using case fans, so you're right in saying it doesn't matter.
Honestly it doesn't matter which way you put the power supply, it's not going to make a difference. But it would make more sense since there is a dust filter on the bottom of the case.
+HyperFerret Putting the PSU on the bottom with the fan on top is good if you want to avoid dust being sucked in from below the case. And if you have a positive airflow anyway it's not an issue. Also, if it's a semi-passive PSU that will allow the heat to escape up top without anything getting in the way or heat being trapped inside the PSU, allowing the heat to rise to the GPU where there's plenty of fans to move it away fast (mixed in with other colder air that's being sucked in to replace the air ending up there, they suck in so much air that the little heat from the PSU really isn't an issue, the GPUs own heat is really more of an issue)
Very good build, but..................... i must warn you. You are entering the PC Master Race and..... you will never go back. You started talking about the people who are constantly upgrading your pc´s, and in the end of the video you said "im thinking to upgrade the GPU to a 1080, i dont know" xD lol is a nice hobbie, i hope you enjoy it and listen to all the people, but not the fanboys, you are very intelligent, you have a "balance" computer right now and very capable for work and game decently. If in the future need more power for gaming, upgrade to a gtx 1070 , is a good video card, and is cheap, the 1080 and 1080 ti are very expensive right now. Sorry for my bad english :P
pd: the gtx 1050 or 1050 ti doesnt need even a cable to the power source, it takes the power from the motherboard (is a low end graphic card), it means that it will run every game, but not in super high details. Your computer has more power than a PS4 or a XBOX One . In the future , if you like to play with, try to buy a 1060 at least and you will notice the difference even if you are not a gamer.
Im a computer science student soon to graduate and most of the people in my year, in the year before me, and the year after me know nothing about whats inside a PC.
Here I thought I was the only person into coding who hasn't built a pc. Glad to see I'm not alone there, not because it's a good thing, but because I'm not the only one.
solid choice for all the parts and awesome build !! especially opting for the ryzen 5 1600 6cores/12threads and not paying a 100$ more for a Ryzen 7 which u wont need ,as well as that B350 mobo (which enables u to overclock ur cpu with the stock cooler that u have right now , most people get to 3.7/3.8 Ghz , but u can get lucky and hit 3.9 ) and yes it's unfortunate that u couldn't get an AMD Rx 570 (yeh coz Cryptocoin minning ) which is a better performer but for 40$ more , 1050 ti still a solid choice ~
Good for you girlfriend! ... You did everything right! - The learning curve is steep but the process is way fun... Don't forget to enable the 'XMP' in the UEFI (BIOS) to gain some free built-in (safe ) performance. And I bet next time you don't forget to install the IO shield ('face-plate') before you do anything else! Lol, we've all done it. :)
Since I'm a loner for life, I'm just going to correct everything in this girl's video. 3:28 Not a tablet, an 2 in 1 (Which could technically be a tablet, IDK) 3:35 The base has the graphics card, majority of everything is on the display 7:04 Wot, Lord Linus? 7:53 Yes, the B350 is the chipset. Designed for the AM4 socket. 8:20 Technically, if you hate RGB, you hate colour. As the RGB defines colour in computer standards are 3 arrays. Red, Green and Blue. But obviously you meant rainbow affects, so carry on. 8:30 You can change that. 9:03 Called ATX, the m is mATX. 9:30 Could've gotten a better deal by checking PCPartPicker 9:50 Cringed when she said "Guard", not be mean, but it's called an IO Shield, well, close enough. 10:00 U wot m8? 10:28 Who wants to read, when you have UA-cam? 10:53 No offence, I cringed again when she said "It was good for the Ryzen series". The thing is that the only CPU series that supports that socket is Ryzen.... 11:54 Totally different CPUs with different ecosystems. And plus, if you want to jump from Ryzen 7 to i7, it would cost a lot to swap out a mobo and CPU. 12:40 Comparing a GPU to a CPU? Wot? 12:43 Majority of all CPUs on the market have that. 13:03 Yet again, all modern CPUs are like that. 14:05 All Ryzen chips are all unlocked, so yes, you can OC it. 14:14 Seems like you are, since you are building a PC (PCMR FTW!) 15:00 3200mHz is a huge difference between '2200mHz' (Never heard of 2200mHz, only heard of 2133mHz). Since you're buying a Ryzen Chip, it drastically changes everything since you bought 3200mHz, as Ryzen starts getting bottlenecked at anything below 2600mHz 16:59 W-Gate? Western Gate? Wot? Western Digital. 18:13 Why have a cake, when you can eat it (Metaphor) 18:37 Yet again, comparing 2 different things. Your surface book has SSD (Which is faster, but more expensive), while you were talking about an HDD (Which is cheaper, but slower) 18:46 Willingly spending so much on a CPU, but getting a terrible GPU to match it. You're better off with either a GTX 1060 6GB or an RX 580.... But the demand is high due to your reasoning (Plus Ethereum). 19:54 Called Crossfire (AMD), and SLI (NVidia). But really, you won't be able to SLI your card because it doesn't support it. Buy a 1070 if you want to. 20:10 WOT? Well, you could do: Machine Learning, Bitcoin/Ethereum Mining, INTENSE 4K GAMING! 20:27 Pretty sure your crashing is the result of either CPU/RAM/GPU/Other bottlenecks, or that software being crap. Plus.... just cooling your PC right doesn't increase performance. You need to learn how to OC it to the MAX! 21:20 There are also cards from MSI and ASUS. 22:55 That description describes 90% of Corsair's cases. (Looks like the original 100R) 24:07 The reason why you need 500W is that the PSU looses it's capability over time (In a nutshell, not going into scientific stuff) 24:30 Wouldn't make sense to buy a 1080Ti, with a moderate CPU. You are better off with a Ryzen 7 and a GTX 1070. Overall, good video. PC Build is alright, could be a bit more balanced.
A 1080 Ti isn't even bottlenecked by a 2600K, so she's being completely reasonable in considering a 1080 Ti with a modern CPU. You also misunderstood the comment at 24:07 - She's saying her current build will consume 300W~ but she's hoping to get away with a 1080 Ti and 550W PSU in the future, hence the 550W choice. Just correcting you :)
Ryzen 5 1600 was the best choice for you, you edit youtube videos and actually do productivity with the PC, Ryzen is much faster than Intel's similarly priced products on productivity and it doesn't lose that much in gaming. and yes, all Ryzen CPU multipliers are unlocked and are overclockable. I have the same CPU, i haven't overclocked it, maybe in a year or two when extra oompfh is required, but atm it's performance is adequate for 1080p 60 fps and I like how it uses so little of power. 15-22 watts while idling or watching youtube etc. 40 watts during gaming and 63-75 watts when using synthetic benchmarks. i got the 6 core 12 thread CPU because i wanted to future proof as i'm not planning on upgrading for at least 5 years.
I take it those power consumption figures are just for the CPU? Cause if not, there's something seriously wrong with my 1600X. My system draws about 65 from the wall at idle :P
Friendly tip: keep the plastic static sensitive sleeves! Those are so useful if you need to transport hard drives or whatever. I also typically take my video card out when going to LAN parties so the PCI slot doesn't wobble too much in a car, and keeping the card in the static bag is much safer.
Are you sure? When was this? I think I just watched a LTT video from 2015 and it told me not to. It's not like I don't believe you, but it's just contradictory to what I was just taught. Where did you hear this from? Can you give me a, "I'm feeling lucky phrase." to google (since links may be disabled)? This is the most recent comment I've found on the subject using Google. "Depending on the type of bag, either the plastic has a conductive agent mixed into it, or the conductive layer is applied to th surface of the bag (usually inside!) That said, it isn't a good idea to run the motherboard on its bag..." Maybe some of the top of the line brands would use these newer bags you're talking about, but it's better to be safe than sorry. It's pretty hard to short electronic items without trying, but it IS possible.
There is a video on UA-cam titled Anti Static Mythbuster made by CareyHolzman, he even turns the PC on, placed on top of anti static bag. There was another video where guy just took regular multimeter and measured resistance of the anti static bag, but I don't remember who it was and what the video was about Also, I've found topic on LTT Forums about that, and again same story, only older bags were metalized, new ones are non-conductive on both sides
The best HDDs are HGST, followed by Toshiba, Seagate and Wester Digital are worse HDDs you can buy, their failures rates are hilariously high. If you're interested in this topic check BackBlaze reliability stats.
BB isn't reliable. SeaGate IS good. I bought my DM003 in 2012, and still no problem. Quiet, fast, and cool. Which can't be said about my older WD Green.
Im so proud of you-you did well in choosing parts-i bought my comp in july for 950$ and was all the same parts-(except i choose gtx1060-i was lucky to find the last one in the last store in my city)-so im happy for you Happie Cat ....
I stole money from my dad's wallet to buy a pc. When I had collected all the money, I got a bag of weed instead. Now I'm broke, homeless and have a bag of weed.
Did you apply a little thermal paste (like a pea) on the cpu? And since it is a new cpu, you might want to look into BIOS updates, to gain stability and performance. Otherwise good choices overall, good job on the build :)
That's the sound of a thousand hearts shattering. No, seriously, out of 120k followers there must be several thousand who saw a cute girl with brains, which is sadly a rare occurrence in the real world, and fell head over heels ;-)
Frank Bullitt So... Just because your Mom had to build yours, you attack her because you cant believe a girl can build it herself, because you cant? Shush
Congrats on your first build. You remind me of my son (13 yr old) when he and I built his first PC last year. It was like Christmas in May. Now that you know a little about what goes into the build you're likely to avoid buying pre-built, off the shelf PC's from now on.
I'm a software developer (though not games) and while I do always build my private PC myself, I'm in no way a hardware guy, nor does building a PC have any relevance to my job. I hate troubleshooting hardware... only thing I hate more is dealing with networking issues or file access issues. Yes, I am a developer, but I don't have the time to learn everything about computers there is to learn... nor do I have an interest in plenty of things in that area. Thing is: Whenever I tell that to people that aren't developers themselves, they are so surprised which, in turn, surprises me. Think of it like this: When building a house, you wouldn't expect the carpenter to know everything about the electrics going into the house and vice versa. Same goes for the masons etc. Just apply the same logic to software developers and you're there. ;)
It's definitely not must have knowlege. But putting together PCs is like building things with LEGOs, it's not that specialized knowledge and anyone can do it without much training. If you don't know just look at some youtube videos and you're set. Aside from the building part, if you're doing software development on actual hardware it really helps knowing what CPU and graphics cards you have, it's capabilities and the kind of features your software requires from the hardware. It also helps knowing the basics of how it all works, and so on. After all, most software will be running on actual machines.
Not a common mistake and especially for my generation. When I was learning about computers, I was learning about the parts and web building back in 2000. This was a time where it was mainstream and very popular to buy a PC prebuilt and that was it. I wanted to know what made it tick more so what was on it.
It's just fun as a PC enthusiast that always play with hardware, to see someone build his computer with price/performance in mind and for what they will use it. I'm glad you like the new PC.
I have build PCs around the 200-250 Euro mark that blast away any PS4 you throw at it. The trick is to get good prices on full bundles or prebuild PCs on eBay and just get a decent graphics cards like a 1050 Ti that one will deliver 1080p 60FPS on most games easily !
This video is actually refreshing from the heaps of "tech vloggers" videos. You were so excited for your parts and putting everything together and that's what it's all about! This was great! And you doing research showed!! You were more than ready to do this!
I remember building my first PC and have built many since and nothing beats turning it on for the first time and it posts you have entered a whole new world enjoy
Don't know how i came across your video but its great and I am glad I did! I am a programmer also and really enjoyed watching several of your videos! Keep it up! Also that PSU is good for your build and can handle a 1080, I have a 550w with a i7, 32gb ram, 4 SSD's and a 1080ti and have no issues so that PSU should be great for you current build and for when you add upgraded components!
Nice build. Great selection of parts. It's almost identical to my new desktop/net computer which I am very happy with. Runs cool, quiet, excellent performance and idle power consumption is only 40 watts. The stock cooler also works very well.
This reminds me of my first full PC build in 2003. I had about as much base equivelent knowledge as she has in this video, which was just enough. It was a budget build 1.7GHz Celeron socket 478 P4 with 128Mb of SDRAM and an AGP Nvidia Gforce2 MX200 with 32Mb of VRAM (wow ;- I cost me about $300 at the time). I was so careful not to touch anything but the sides of the components for fear of ESD or accidentally scratching them with a screw driver that you would have sworn I was in a clean room and it took me over three hours to build. I was so amazed when it booted up on the first power on. Ah, memories! One word of advice is to always make sure that the motherboard out of the box is compatible with the CPU and it doesn't need a BIOS update flash first. I ran into this problem three years ago building a Ivy Bridge CPU based system, but I had to buy a Sandy Bridge Pentium just to flash the BIOS so that it would accept the newer Ivy Bridge processor.
you did better than I did on my first build. I went crazy and purchased the top end stuff and spent way to much money. Good job on keeping yourself in check.
This is fascinating. You can genuinely tell she's clueless about the stuff. As a PC guy it's kind of cool watching a total newbie build from the ground up, seeing what she fixates on and what's important to her.
You should have called the video "the happiest cat build his very first pc", i mean, that's how i feel the first time i build my rig, i actually started calling it " the hapiness".
Welcome to the world of putting stuff together. My first build didn't work either when the power was turned on, as I missed setting a jumper on my hard drive, but I recall feeling ... ugh ... but later cheerful and satisfied when the problem was solved and the machine booted up. Re: keyboards, I'm not too sure but I think it has something to do with gamers not liking the effects of multiple fast, and/or simultaneous, keystrokes that do not register correctly on the cheaper brands. If you start working on cars, cardboard is great to use to kneel/lay upon when working under/near the machine, and news paper is good to have around to set parts and tools upon and/or wipe surfaces and hands when oil and grime needs to be removed. In some ways, there are similar tips with PC building, such as for over-clocking, but I don't know too much about it. Stay grounded. Cardboard used as a pin cushion, or tape made into a loop to expose adhesive to grab and hold stuff, or a small cup container are good ideas to use to keep bolts/screws from getting lost. Velcro strips help to bind wires/cables. I'm relearning how to program and I enjoy watching your videos and find them helpful.
Remember to enable XMP in the Bios so your RAM actually runs at 3200MHz. It's easier than typing in all the stuff yourself, especially for a first time builder.
I enjoyed this video very much! I love how you did it, not like a pro, and not with the best hardware money can buy, but with enthusiasm and genuine joy. I also love PC building, but I've only built 3 PCs in my entire life. I don't have the money to change my desktop every year. I usually buy a PC in every 8 years, and gradually upgrade it. Last year I build one with a decent i7 , 16 gigs of ram and a Zotac GTX960 4Gb graphics card. This year, I've bought a GTX1080 to upgrade my desktop ( I need it because I do a lot of neural network training). So I totally get why you chose a base rather than building a top notch PC. Hope you enjoy this PC very much. Now go play Dark Souls 8)
I've been wanting to build my own PC too for quite a while. I'm going to start getting parts soon. I'd like to see how yours turns out too! I'm a software person also.
Aah, someones first build. Congrats. I remember my first build 20 some years ago. My dad couldn't afford a whole computer but a guy at his job knew how to build pcs, so my first pc was custom built since it was way cheaper that way. Stone age times when modems were at 14.4 kb and they would make those horrible sounds when connecting to the interwebs.
For a first build I think you did just fine. Gives you the option(s) of figuring out what you do and do not like about your pick list. Congrats on taking the dive.
It's awesome to see people excited for their first build! As someone who does this for a living, your choice of parts is pretty damn good. R5 1600 is the current price to performance sweet spot. Glad you spent extra on the faster memory, Ryzen systems benefit from faster RAM where intel CPUs generally don't. The 1050ti is a pretty good mid range card and should serve you well. Nobody needs a 1080ti, I'd say the highest you should aim for right now would be 1070 territory. You should never go cheap on the power supply, and you didn't, they're most efficient running at half their rated wattage which is about what your system will draw under load. Overall that system looks awesome and should serve you well!
As a streamer myself and also a computer enthusiast that built both my computers, I believe you made excellent choices for 1080p gaming. Good job. (Blasar Gaming)
Welcome to the PCMasterRace :D. Cables needs a bit of tidying up but I'm sure you'll figure it out along the way. You should mount that ssd on the hdd bracket though. And lastly just wanna ask, is your ram running at advertised speeds? If not you should be able to especially with the latest agesa 1.0.0.6 enabled bios.
you should've put rgb lights cause that speeds up the whole setup by about 15-20%
thank you and if you plug it into a good monitor it will more give fpsss and i is good a biding pcces
SWEAR TO GOD ALSO PUT YOUR OVER CLOCKING SETTINGS TO MAX, MAKES YOUR FPS MAX OUT AT 99999 FPS

"I'm not a PC enthusiast"
Not yet... *grin*
Luis Rosa Have u actually seen her videos? She knows a lot programming and bunch of other stuff.
Radex - HG I haven't, although from what she said I know she does a lot of programming related videos but she's not really that much into the hardware side of things. I know she's knowledgeable, I was just teasing her that she'll probably turn into a hardware enthusiast as well pretty soon.
Luis Rosa AS I READ THIS COMMENT I WAS UP TO THE PART WHILE SHE SAID THAT
You watched LinusTechTips? NOOO. You are sure to drop something in this video :O
She did. Multiple times.
Hayk Avagyan ha ha ha
She just put it down really fast
At least she didn't use an angle grinder on the video card :D
The best part of building a computer is accidentally dropping the screws between the mobo parts.
The best part is dropping the screws into the PSU.
hahaha :-)
Thank you now I have cancer.
I believe that it is actually the mining of Ethereum, not Bitcoin that brought about the significant raises in prices.
This may sound incredibly dumb of me, but "ethereum" sounds like a made-up substance in some sci-fi novel. But you are right, it is likely that.
Chrymzon its mining in general
Chrymzon yeah, both ethereum and zcash rised the prices of almost every AMD gpu and 1080/1070 (surprisingly, 1070 is more requested for mining than 1080, as mining is better with gddr5 memory than with gddr5x)
Can confirm, ether hodler and aspiring developer here. Though mining's dropped off recently and will be essentially frozen after the next network update. Ethereum is the "world's first singleton computer" or as per it's wiki:
"open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which can execute scripts using an international network of public nodes."
or the "Fifth element" according to Alchemy or what extraterrestrial space is filled with according to pre-modern astronomy
Etherium's price correlates more with Rise of GPUs prices. BTC went up drastically but a week ago.
I'm surprised by the comment section. I was almost expecting some fanboy comments about the GPU or CPU choice, but... nothing? That's pretty awesome. I think this is the first time in ages I've seen a video remotely related to hardware that doesn't have those kinds of comments.
Other than that: Sure, the GPU will choke at higher resolutions and higher settings, but going by what you said you want the system to do, I'd say it's a solid setup for a sensible price.
Thank you for the vlog.
I have nothing interesting to comment but it's being interesting to watch.
I also realized I knew nothing about PC parts when I built mine some months ago, it's incredible, there's so much to know about. I'm thankful a co-worker helped me.

And welcome to the Ryzen master race! It's a great place to be.
By the way, I had a former coworker who had a WASD Code keyboard with Cherry MX Clear switches, and they feel amazing for typing. I don't think they'd be great for gaming, though, so you might consider Brown switches as a good middle ground. I have brown switches on a WASD V2 custom, and it's treated me quite well over the past year.
browns feel like sand tbh
Koosy pretty sure you just had defective switches, man. There's no coarseness on my keyboard
"welcome to the ryzen master race"... can you be more cringe ?
I built my PC recently, and it's way easier nowadays (the blue connector on the blue socket, the red on the red, etc...), especially for the case connector (HDD LED, Front USB, Power / Reset Buttons). I built my first PC about 15 years ago, and it wasn't as standardized as it is today, you needed the manual of the motherboard, the manual of the case, the CPU, etc... and even then, it was difficult to know where to plug what. But it's a good thing, now at least it's way more accessible.
Though I'm still not sure what you meant by the CPU power. Maybe it's different on your hardware, but usually, the CPU is powered by the motherboard directly (itself powered by ATX connectors).
Anyway, congratz !! :D
Good job with the power supply, that's the one place you never want to skimp. A good quality PSU will last you at least 10 years through a lot of builds. Also 550W is perfect for a system that hits 250-300W because they are usually at peak efficiency around 60% load. Lower electric bills and less waste heat in the system, which also means less wear on components.
All Ryzen CPU's are overclockable IF you use an B350 mobo
you'll oc better with X370
Maybe in memory speeds, if the b350 board has a beefy vrm it will deliver the same power as a x370. But my b350-prime plus reduces potential of OC a bit. I've heard stories of reduced benchmark scores; but i hit 1241 at 3066mhz @ 3,8ghz with background tasks. i hit a voltage wall at 3,825, i did 3,8 at 1,3v but if i tried 38,25x it wouldn't boot till i increased FOUR times to 1,32v and of course RAM despite doing 3200 with agesa 1.0.0.6 (latest bios, 806) can only do 3066 with 48ohm and 2T @ 1,425v. But i guess it's my 1600 mostly as most have weak IMC compared to 1600x as they just bin them better there, they're amd's 'special ' chips.
Still b350 is very very close to 99.8% same, give or take either VRMs on a crappy power delivery, X370 just gives you sli/crossfire certification, and crosshair vi hero is a very stable board all things considered, But b350 prime-plus only cost me 79 quid vs. ga-b350-gaming 3 being 100 quid in UK. And crosshair was the price exactly three b350-plus, and i only had money for one. an 82 quid ab350-gaming m micro-atx was out of my reach, and this actually had less ram support; Running 1600 at 3,825ghz @ 1,32v with 3066mhz 16GB Vengeance LPX, Hynix die.
+everennui cus premium mode has better vrm
You're right not to be too shy to get a more expensive PSU. Not because it makes less noise or whatever, but because a bad unit could damage your PC.
Congrats on the build though! :)
Have fun with it!
WELCOME TO THE MASTER RACE MANE *FLOWS AND BLOWS IN AIR*
I put my pc in a new case and replaced some parts with RGB, now I have one million fps
Watching someone building a PC for the first time is so cute and funny ! You can feel the anticipation ! Even before opening the motherboard box you look so excited LOL !
Ya, I was in her shoes a few months ago. I parted my pc, every month when the new parts had arrived, my excitement was through the roof. I am surprised that my wife did not kill me during that time frame:)
Randy Holliday the cool thing is that 20 years after my first build I'm still as excited when I build a PC ;)
Oh I bet, new parts are always a great thing:)
Randy Holliday I'm planning on getting a 1080 to and 2 1440p screens ! Can't wait !
So a gtx 1080 with dual 1440p set up... that would be nice. I was between 1080p at 144hz and a 1440p monitor... ended up going with a high refresh monitor. I hope you enjoy your new set up when you get it man
You're so cool!! Keep at it! An inspiration :)
Wait you said you ordered everything at midnight and then got it all at 6pm the next day? Did Superman deliver those packages? How on earth did you get them in 18 hours?
Nicholas Castro, Amazon Prime, not normal Amazon.
I live in the Seattle area, where Amazon is head-quartered... so MAYBE they have larger fulfillment centers here (???) I was very surprised. Apparently I could've ordered up to 8AM and had it delivered by 9PM.
Gendry is the mailman
Ah yeah ok, probably came straight from the headquarters then. I live in the midwest, so the fastest possible option is 2 days, blew me away hearing 18 hours.
Nicholas Castro 18* hours (18:00 is 6 PM) p;
First PC build using a silent and modular quality power supply! Good choice!
Sometimes us humans want to be immoral, but imagine how much a computer would want the lifespan of a human.
Idk what LA fashion is, so I guess I have to actually go outside and look at people, maybe walk to the actual city and look at more people, then get dirty states for looking at them, then I'll go home and eat a cup of sauerkraut. ._.
(but no seriously, I typically go outside daily thankfully.........)
IDK man, if I were a computer, I'd want the lifespan of a tortoise. Humans die in too many dumb ways.
Sorry *endangered tortoise. So it's illegal for people to be DUMB and kill me or whatever
Gotta watch out for them tortoise poachers. They're gonna tranq you and steal your shell.
And then make money off of the animal crushing video. Yep, that's humans for you!
Tru, or even the lifespan of a Greenland shark... which live for like 300+ years.
I really enjoyed this video! I built my first PC 13 months ago and it was one of the best feelings ever to see it boot. I still have to do some optimizations but I'm already planning on what I could upgrade in the coming years.
The PSU is upside down (the fan "on top" is an intake, you want it to intake the outside air), but nice build :)
That's convention, however to reverse it can actually be practical depending on the air pressure setup. If the net pressure inside is already positive, having an extra exhaust at the bottom rear can help remove heat from the graphics card in particular.
I have my psu upside down, as i haven't got any air outtakes
By the time the PSU fan has to turn on, the components of it would already be warm or hot, otherwise there's no need to turn on the fan. Meaning using it as an intake you'd introduce warmer air.
Naturally you should create pressure using case fans, so you're right in saying it doesn't matter.
Honestly it doesn't matter which way you put the power supply, it's not going to make a difference. But it would make more sense since there is a dust filter on the bottom of the case.
+HyperFerret Putting the PSU on the bottom with the fan on top is good if you want to avoid dust being sucked in from below the case.
And if you have a positive airflow anyway it's not an issue.
Also, if it's a semi-passive PSU that will allow the heat to escape up top without anything getting in the way or heat being trapped inside the PSU, allowing the heat to rise to the GPU where there's plenty of fans to move it away fast (mixed in with other colder air that's being sucked in to replace the air ending up there, they suck in so much air that the little heat from the PSU really isn't an issue, the GPUs own heat is really more of an issue)
Great part choices, great video and everything you said was correct :) Thank you! - Love your channel
Very good build, but..................... i must warn you. You are entering the PC Master Race and..... you will never go back. You started talking about the people who are constantly upgrading your pc´s, and in the end of the video you said "im thinking to upgrade the GPU to a 1080, i dont know" xD lol is a nice hobbie, i hope you enjoy it and listen to all the people, but not the fanboys, you are very intelligent, you have a "balance" computer right now and very capable for work and game decently. If in the future need more power for gaming, upgrade to a gtx 1070 , is a good video card, and is cheap, the 1080 and 1080 ti are very expensive right now. Sorry for my bad english :P
pd: the gtx 1050 or 1050 ti doesnt need even a cable to the power source, it takes the power from the motherboard (is a low end graphic card), it means that it will run every game, but not in super high details. Your computer has more power than a PS4 or a XBOX One . In the future , if you like to play with, try to buy a 1060 at least and you will notice the difference even if you are not a gamer.
You did extremely well on parts, a lot of people struggle on parts for their first build. nice work. Welcome to the PC Master Race :D
Programmer who doesnt know anything about hardware? *high five *
ThatsCk That isn't that uncommon
Im a computer science student soon to graduate and most of the people in my year, in the year before me, and the year after me know nothing about whats inside a PC.
lol really?
Trevor Belmont yes ya vampire slayer
That's weird. Always thought that you can become a programmer only if you know how the hardware works 0_o
Here I thought I was the only person into coding who hasn't built a pc. Glad to see I'm not alone there, not because it's a good thing, but because I'm not the only one.
solid choice for all the parts and awesome build !! especially opting for the ryzen 5 1600 6cores/12threads and not paying a 100$ more for a Ryzen 7 which u wont need ,as well as that B350 mobo (which enables u to overclock ur cpu with the stock cooler that u have right now , most people get to 3.7/3.8 Ghz , but u can get lucky and hit 3.9 ) and yes it's unfortunate that u couldn't get an AMD Rx 570 (yeh coz Cryptocoin minning ) which is a better performer but for 40$ more , 1050 ti still a solid choice ~
Andrei Despinoiu compiling doesn't last for days, so i7 won't be really really good choice cause of price
in which regard? single threaded performance is better than core count for compliling?
Nope, clock speed matters but more cores=better.
Agreed, I recently got the 1060 as a mid budget upgrade from my GTX 770, no regrets. So far its been a pretty solid card.
Speech 100
Happy building your new PC! Love to watch your video explanation about programming :D
It is just the beginning my child
When you ascend higher to the master race
Those 5 + fps will mean the world for you
Have fun gaming
Good for you girlfriend! ... You did everything right! - The learning curve is steep but the process is way fun... Don't forget to enable the 'XMP' in the UEFI (BIOS) to gain some free built-in (safe ) performance. And I bet next time you don't forget to install the IO shield ('face-plate') before you do anything else! Lol, we've all done it. :)
a girl that loves to program and can build her own pc. damn i love u already...
lol
u probably right lol
"ready for sleep and ready to work at any hour of the day"
You are my people.
Since I'm a loner for life, I'm just going to correct everything in this girl's video.
3:28 Not a tablet, an 2 in 1 (Which could technically be a tablet, IDK)
3:35 The base has the graphics card, majority of everything is on the display
7:04 Wot, Lord Linus?
7:53 Yes, the B350 is the chipset. Designed for the AM4 socket.
8:20 Technically, if you hate RGB, you hate colour. As the RGB defines colour in computer standards are 3 arrays. Red, Green and Blue. But obviously you meant rainbow affects, so carry on.
8:30 You can change that.
9:03 Called ATX, the m is mATX.
9:30 Could've gotten a better deal by checking PCPartPicker
9:50 Cringed when she said "Guard", not be mean, but it's called an IO Shield, well, close enough.
10:00 U wot m8?
10:28 Who wants to read, when you have UA-cam?
10:53 No offence, I cringed again when she said "It was good for the Ryzen series". The thing is that the only CPU series that supports that socket is Ryzen....
11:54 Totally different CPUs with different ecosystems. And plus, if you want to jump from Ryzen 7 to i7, it would cost a lot to swap out a mobo and CPU.
12:40 Comparing a GPU to a CPU? Wot?
12:43 Majority of all CPUs on the market have that.
13:03 Yet again, all modern CPUs are like that.
14:05 All Ryzen chips are all unlocked, so yes, you can OC it.
14:14 Seems like you are, since you are building a PC (PCMR FTW!)
15:00 3200mHz is a huge difference between '2200mHz' (Never heard of 2200mHz, only heard of 2133mHz). Since you're buying a Ryzen Chip, it drastically changes everything since you bought 3200mHz, as Ryzen starts getting bottlenecked at anything below 2600mHz
16:59 W-Gate? Western Gate? Wot? Western Digital.
18:13 Why have a cake, when you can eat it (Metaphor)
18:37 Yet again, comparing 2 different things. Your surface book has SSD (Which is faster, but more expensive), while you were talking about an HDD (Which is cheaper, but slower)
18:46 Willingly spending so much on a CPU, but getting a terrible GPU to match it. You're better off with either a GTX 1060 6GB or an RX 580.... But the demand is high due to your reasoning (Plus Ethereum).
19:54 Called Crossfire (AMD), and SLI (NVidia). But really, you won't be able to SLI your card because it doesn't support it. Buy a 1070 if you want to.
20:10 WOT? Well, you could do: Machine Learning, Bitcoin/Ethereum Mining, INTENSE 4K GAMING!
20:27 Pretty sure your crashing is the result of either CPU/RAM/GPU/Other bottlenecks, or that software being crap. Plus.... just cooling your PC right doesn't increase performance. You need to learn how to OC it to the MAX!
21:20 There are also cards from MSI and ASUS.
22:55 That description describes 90% of Corsair's cases. (Looks like the original 100R)
24:07 The reason why you need 500W is that the PSU looses it's capability over time (In a nutshell, not going into scientific stuff)
24:30 Wouldn't make sense to buy a 1080Ti, with a moderate CPU. You are better off with a Ryzen 7 and a GTX 1070.
Overall, good video. PC Build is alright, could be a bit more balanced.
A 1080 Ti isn't even bottlenecked by a 2600K, so she's being completely reasonable in considering a 1080 Ti with a modern CPU.
You also misunderstood the comment at 24:07 - She's saying her current build will consume 300W~ but she's hoping to get away with a 1080 Ti and 550W PSU in the future, hence the 550W choice.
Just correcting you :)
This is so nice, welcome to the PC builders club :)
What's your briggs myers personality?
Welcome to the PC master race. You'll have fun with that build and it has some room to grow if you need it to.
Ryzen 5 1600 was the best choice for you, you edit youtube videos and actually do productivity with the PC, Ryzen is much faster than Intel's similarly priced products on productivity and it doesn't lose that much in gaming. and yes, all Ryzen CPU multipliers are unlocked and are overclockable. I have the same CPU, i haven't overclocked it, maybe in a year or two when extra oompfh is required, but atm it's performance is adequate for 1080p 60 fps and I like how it uses so little of power. 15-22 watts while idling or watching youtube etc. 40 watts during gaming and 63-75 watts when using synthetic benchmarks. i got the 6 core 12 thread CPU because i wanted to future proof as i'm not planning on upgrading for at least 5 years.
I take it those power consumption figures are just for the CPU? Cause if not, there's something seriously wrong with my 1600X. My system draws about 65 from the wall at idle :P
Stephen Kendall yeah. Just the cpu
May I ask what do you use to monitor your CPU power draw?
CPUID HWMonitor. they also make CPU-Z, both are great, for component id i recommend speccy.
Thanks for the reply and information !
Friendly tip: keep the plastic static sensitive sleeves! Those are so useful if you need to transport hard drives or whatever. I also typically take my video card out when going to LAN parties so the PCI slot doesn't wobble too much in a car, and keeping the card in the static bag is much safer.
Just don't put anything on top of the bag because it's only anti-static from the inside.
More like useless.....never used them in my life.
Hell, i transport a HDD by throwing it in my backpack with some other crap.
+evernnui It's no longer true, they used to make them conductive on the outside, now it's completly safe to put things on top of it
Are you sure? When was this? I think I just watched a LTT video from 2015 and it told me not to. It's not like I don't believe you, but it's just contradictory to what I was just taught. Where did you hear this from? Can you give me a, "I'm feeling lucky phrase." to google (since links may be disabled)?
This is the most recent comment I've found on the subject using Google.
"Depending on the type of bag, either the plastic has a conductive agent mixed into it, or the conductive layer is applied to th surface of the bag (usually inside!)
That said, it isn't a good idea to run the motherboard on its bag..."
Maybe some of the top of the line brands would use these newer bags you're talking about, but it's better to be safe than sorry. It's pretty hard to short electronic items without trying, but it IS possible.
There is a video on UA-cam titled Anti Static Mythbuster made by CareyHolzman, he even turns the PC on, placed on top of anti static bag. There was another video where guy just took regular multimeter and measured resistance of the anti static bag, but I don't remember who it was and what the video was about
Also, I've found topic on LTT Forums about that, and again same story, only older bags were metalized, new ones are non-conductive on both sides
Western Gate best HDD
ahha, loved that.
Sea digital.
WesternGate.
DigitalGate
WD digtal
Negiku WD is better.
The best HDDs are HGST, followed by Toshiba, Seagate and Wester Digital are worse HDDs you can buy, their failures rates are hilariously high. If you're interested in this topic check BackBlaze reliability stats.
A polished turd is still a turd, WD and Seagate are both shit HDDs manufacturers.
BB isn't reliable. SeaGate IS good. I bought my DM003 in 2012, and still no problem. Quiet, fast, and cool. Which can't be said about my older WD Green.
Im so proud of you-you did well in choosing parts-i bought my comp in july for 950$ and was all the same parts-(except i choose gtx1060-i was lucky to find the last one in the last store in my city)-so im happy for you Happie Cat ....
Whoever disliked this video has serious mental issues.
Raded Vfor I did it and dont have mental issues
That's the first symptom "denial."
Welcome to the wonderful world of PC building. You did a great job & enjoyed yourself. That's what it's all about!
Looking at pretty girl,who's excitedly talking about computer hardware...I was smiling all the way.
I stole money from my dad's wallet to buy a pc. When I had collected all the money, I got a bag of weed instead. Now I'm broke, homeless and have a bag of weed.
Congratulations and have fun with your new computer :)
Never click on new video this fast :D
NoKappa
Did you apply a little thermal paste (like a pea) on the cpu? And since it is a new cpu, you might want to look into BIOS updates, to gain stability and performance. Otherwise good choices overall, good job on the build :)
Good job getting a ryzen cpu. Many cores which is great for VMs and programming in general.
This was put into my recommended and gotta say this video is oddly relaxing and I really like the modesty tbh glad it all turned out well!
Who is the guy?
Cucked FeelsBadMan
I am not going to lie. I got jealous when the guy showed up. I wanted to be the one who helped her build her PC. :(
That's the sound of a thousand hearts shattering. No, seriously, out of 120k followers there must be several thousand who saw a cute girl with brains, which is sadly a rare occurrence in the real world, and fell head over heels ;-)
the person that does that actual work while thirsty geeks just drool at her being basic.
Frank Bullitt So... Just because your Mom had to build yours, you attack her because you cant believe a girl can build it herself, because you cant?
Shush
Congrats on your first build. You remind me of my son (13 yr old) when he and I built his first PC last year. It was like Christmas in May. Now that you know a little about what goes into the build you're likely to avoid buying pre-built, off the shelf PC's from now on.
Hold on just a dam minuet.
This woman is essentially a game dev but has not built her own pc ever?
I'm a software developer (though not games) and while I do always build my private PC myself, I'm in no way a hardware guy, nor does building a PC have any relevance to my job. I hate troubleshooting hardware... only thing I hate more is dealing with networking issues or file access issues.
Yes, I am a developer, but I don't have the time to learn everything about computers there is to learn... nor do I have an interest in plenty of things in that area.
Thing is: Whenever I tell that to people that aren't developers themselves, they are so surprised which, in turn, surprises me. Think of it like this: When building a house, you wouldn't expect the carpenter to know everything about the electrics going into the house and vice versa. Same goes for the masons etc. Just apply the same logic to software developers and you're there. ;)
It's definitely not must have knowlege.
But putting together PCs is like building things with LEGOs, it's not that specialized knowledge and anyone can do it without much training. If you don't know just look at some youtube videos and you're set.
Aside from the building part, if you're doing software development on actual hardware it really helps knowing what CPU and graphics cards you have, it's capabilities and the kind of features your software requires from the hardware. It also helps knowing the basics of how it all works, and so on. After all, most software will be running on actual machines.
your question is a common mistake.... a developer dont need to know about building a pc, a programmer makes programs not pc´s.
Not a common mistake and especially for my generation. When I was learning about computers, I was learning about the parts and web building back in 2000. This was a time where it was mainstream and very popular to buy a PC prebuilt and that was it. I wanted to know what made it tick more so what was on it.
Just because people use the PC to do stuff does not mean they know how it works.
It's just fun as a PC enthusiast that always play with hardware, to see someone build his computer with price/performance in mind and for what they will use it. I'm glad you like the new PC.
Good job on the video! I applaud you're initiative to do you're own PC build!
congratz for your new pc. hope you enjoy your time using it. you are the best
I have the same case! Anyway, congratulations on your first build, always exciting doing new things.
Well done! You can be proud about choosing and putting all together :)
I have build PCs around the 200-250 Euro mark that blast away any PS4 you throw at it. The trick is to get good prices on full bundles or prebuild PCs on eBay and just get a decent graphics cards like a 1050 Ti that one will deliver 1080p 60FPS on most games easily !
This video is actually refreshing from the heaps of "tech vloggers" videos. You were so excited for your parts and putting everything together and that's what it's all about! This was great! And you doing research showed!! You were more than ready to do this!
Great build! I hope you enjoy it :)
I remember building my first PC and have built many since and nothing beats turning it on for the first time and it posts you have entered a whole new world enjoy
Modern PC's are literally Lego pieces that all have singular connectivity, they're very simplistic to build. My 9 yr old son just built his first.
Congrats on your first build,you appreciate things more when you create them.nice work.
Don't know how i came across your video but its great and I am glad I did! I am a programmer also and really enjoyed watching several of your videos! Keep it up! Also that PSU is good for your build and can handle a 1080, I have a 550w with a i7, 32gb ram, 4 SSD's and a 1080ti and have no issues so that PSU should be great for you current build and for when you add upgraded components!
Nice build. Great selection of parts. It's almost identical to my new desktop/net computer which I am very happy with. Runs cool, quiet, excellent performance and idle power consumption is only 40 watts. The stock cooler also works very well.
It's really cool to see this build happening!!
(I've been following this saga on twitter)
Yesss!
Really cool to see these type of video on your channel. :D
This reminds me of my first full PC build in 2003. I had about as much base equivelent knowledge as she has in this video, which was just enough. It was a budget build 1.7GHz Celeron socket 478 P4 with 128Mb of SDRAM and an AGP Nvidia Gforce2 MX200 with 32Mb of VRAM (wow ;- I cost me about $300 at the time). I was so careful not to touch anything but the sides of the components for fear of ESD or accidentally scratching them with a screw driver that you would have sworn I was in a clean room and it took me over three hours to build. I was so amazed when it booted up on the first power on. Ah, memories! One word of advice is to always make sure that the motherboard out of the box is compatible with the CPU and it doesn't need a BIOS update flash first. I ran into this problem three years ago building a Ivy Bridge CPU based system, but I had to buy a Sandy Bridge Pentium just to flash the BIOS so that it would accept the newer Ivy Bridge processor.
I remember how excited i was,when i built my first pc 4yrs ago,great video!!!
Its always fun to have new experiences!! Hoping you had fun with your first pc build...
26:12 Power supply cord is not fully plugged in.
Awesome video! I laughed *really* hard at "Western Gate" though. :D
you did better than I did on my first build. I went crazy and purchased the top end stuff and spent way to much money. Good job on keeping yourself in check.
This is fascinating. You can genuinely tell she's clueless about the stuff. As a PC guy it's kind of cool watching a total newbie build from the ground up, seeing what she fixates on and what's important to her.
It was so nice to see another happy individual building a computer for themselves. :)
The cat is happy! Congrats for the new PC.
Nice build, good combo of parts!
You should have called the video "the happiest cat build his very first pc", i mean, that's how i feel the first time i build my rig, i actually started calling it " the hapiness".
WHEN DO U START TO DO THE BUILDDDDDDDD! ! !!
Welcome to the world of putting stuff together. My first build didn't work either when the power was turned on, as I missed setting a jumper on my hard drive, but I recall feeling ... ugh ... but later cheerful and satisfied when the problem was solved and the machine booted up. Re: keyboards, I'm not too sure but I think it has something to do with gamers not liking the effects of multiple fast, and/or simultaneous, keystrokes that do not register correctly on the cheaper brands. If you start working on cars, cardboard is great to use to kneel/lay upon when working under/near the machine, and news paper is good to have around to set parts and tools upon and/or wipe surfaces and hands when oil and grime needs to be removed. In some ways, there are similar tips with PC building, such as for over-clocking, but I don't know too much about it. Stay grounded. Cardboard used as a pin cushion, or tape made into a loop to expose adhesive to grab and hold stuff, or a small cup container are good ideas to use to keep bolts/screws from getting lost. Velcro strips help to bind wires/cables. I'm relearning how to program and I enjoy watching your videos and find them helpful.
Remember to enable XMP in the Bios so your RAM actually runs at 3200MHz. It's easier than typing in all the stuff yourself, especially for a first time builder.
Nice Video. Welcome to the PC Master Race ;)
I enjoyed this video very much! I love how you did it, not like a pro, and not with the best hardware money can buy, but with enthusiasm and genuine joy.
I also love PC building, but I've only built 3 PCs in my entire life. I don't have the money to change my desktop every year. I usually buy a PC in every 8 years, and gradually upgrade it. Last year I build one with a decent i7 , 16 gigs of ram and a Zotac GTX960 4Gb graphics card. This year, I've bought a GTX1080 to upgrade my desktop ( I need it because I do a lot of neural network training).
So I totally get why you chose a base rather than building a top notch PC.
Hope you enjoy this PC very much. Now go play Dark Souls 8)
I really enjoyed this video, it was so much fun to see how enthusiastically you set to work! Now I have to build another gaming rig...
I've been wanting to build my own PC too for quite a while. I'm going to start getting parts soon. I'd like to see how yours turns out too! I'm a software person also.
I hope you had fun putting this PC together and enjoy the rewards of using it.
Aah, someones first build. Congrats. I remember my first build 20 some years ago. My dad couldn't afford a whole computer but a guy at his job knew how to build pcs, so my first pc was custom built since it was way cheaper that way. Stone age times when modems were at 14.4 kb and they would make those horrible sounds when connecting to the interwebs.
When laptops go dead, they can often be revived. Re-seating the RAM sometimes works. Or reseating all the removable parts like HDD, DVD drive.
For a first build I think you did just fine. Gives you the option(s) of figuring out what you do and do not like about your pick list. Congrats on taking the dive.
How has your experience with your new PC have been?
Congrats!! :D I bet it was a fun experience, wasn't it? I built my own a while back, but I'm thinking on upgrading it.
Welcome to PC building. It's a hard bug to shake. Your build came out infinitely cleaner than my rats nest of a first build XD
Gah! Absolutely love your videos, keep 'em comin!
You mounted power supply upside down. Fan should be directed down !
It's awesome to see people excited for their first build! As someone who does this for a living, your choice of parts is pretty damn good. R5 1600 is the current price to performance sweet spot. Glad you spent extra on the faster memory, Ryzen systems benefit from faster RAM where intel CPUs generally don't. The 1050ti is a pretty good mid range card and should serve you well. Nobody needs a 1080ti, I'd say the highest you should aim for right now would be 1070 territory. You should never go cheap on the power supply, and you didn't, they're most efficient running at half their rated wattage which is about what your system will draw under load. Overall that system looks awesome and should serve you well!
As a streamer myself and also a computer enthusiast that built both my computers, I believe you made excellent choices for 1080p gaming. Good job. (Blasar Gaming)
what u said was the cooler here 13:35 is a heatsink
I am 64 and a computer enthusiast. I will be building my new build this coming week. I am amused, in a good way watching your video.
Welcome to the PCMasterRace :D. Cables needs a bit of tidying up but I'm sure you'll figure it out along the way. You should mount that ssd on the hdd bracket though. And lastly just wanna ask, is your ram running at advertised speeds? If not you should be able to especially with the latest agesa 1.0.0.6 enabled bios.
