    The buying guides from others pretty much just showed them finding good deals and explaining a bit here or there. But Jay actually helped me out on the three things that confused me the most in a 20 minute video out of 100+ minutes!

      Well, the thought process is very good and still holds up, but the %s fo the budget no longer apply, and will not apply in a long time. Now spending 30% of your budget for your GPU will get you something twice as worse as he gets in this videos, so there's no justification to use that 30% for the GPU nowadays.

      I also have no idea about PCs, but just google it. e.g. "best motherboard for 3600" gives you sereval answers. Then you need to get a bit into the tech, to see what you actually need out of these. Do you need USB Type C? Filter the boards for that. Do you need M.2 (fastest) SSD? Filter for that, and so on.

    • @wquitw0727

      that s true. although,on the motherboard sites they got ram and cpu support indicating the supported models for ram and on the supported cpus indicates if u need a bios update on that motherboard for each cpu, so that should be the first step for newcomers . i had made that mistake , ordering a board that required bios update to support the cpu i had chosen,but luckily they agreed to change my order to another board model,since i didnt want to mess with bios updates from day 1

    • @sntslilhlpr6601
      @sntslilhlpr6601 3 роки тому +12

      ​@@wquitw0727 It's actually super easy but I understand why you would be hesitant to do it on your first build. You just go to the manufacturers website, download the new bios for your motherboard, throw it on a usb stick, plug it in to the new motherboard, go to the bios and find the update function, point it to the file on the usb stick, and then pray that the power doesn't go out while it's updating... That last part always used to be a tense few seconds until I got a UPS lol.
      And as far as for the OP about part picking, my general workflow for a gaming machine would be: Choose a case based on my needs (the size of the case will determine a few things), choose a cpu based on my needs (if you don't know what you need you aren't ready to shop yet), pull up motherboards with that cpu socket, choose what I need based on what features I want (overclocking, slots, nvme, etc) and what will fit in the case (atx, micro atx, mini-itx), pull up ram that fits the motherboard specs (everything's ddr4 nowadays but speed is important), choose either the fastest the motherboard will support (no overclock) or the fastest I can afford (O.C.), pull up graphics cards and choose what I already had in mind after making sure I was getting good bang for the buck and making sure it fits in the case, and then it's just choosing a cpu cooler that fits in the case (optional), choosing case fans (usually optional), and storage is relatively easy on the low end.
      That's good enough for most budgets. Higher budgets can make you worry about pci-e lanes and stuff but if you just have 1 gpu and 1 nvme drive you'll be fine with any decent cpu. Jay's advice about the PSU is good, gold is the sweet spot, the only consideration would be if you were doing a small form factor mini-itx build you would have to make sure it fit (I wouldn't recommend this for your first build as the cable management and compatibility issues will frustrate you, just buy a case that has room to work in, good airflow, and will last you a very long time without the headaches).
      This is just my framework for checking compatibility for the newbies out there. Before all this you have to do a bit of reading to get a feel for what's the best cpu and gpu for your budget. Just like any veteran has to do if they don't stay current. Don't waste your time watching youtube for this process as it is not an information-dense medium and is just meant to entertain. You'll get it done much quicker by reading forums, articles, looking at benchmarks, and comparing prices, and you'll be a hell of a lot better off if you actually understand what you're looking at instead of just following some build guide or someone else's parts list.

      Pcpartpicker helps a ton with compatibility. The only things they can't tell are size measurements, and for those you can just look at the product page. Motherboards will typically have a letter at the end of their chipset to determine their size. For example, a micro atx motherboard may have the label b450m, and a mini itx motherboard may have b450i at the end. Standard atx motherboard, like the one he showed in the video typically don't have a letter at the end.

    Thanks for this. I started out in the Z80 days, survived the 8088 and DOS, seen my fair share of blue screens, only to run into a COVID parts shortage. With my kids at home doing on-line learning, I find we are short at least 2 PC's. Looking at affordable pre-built PC's it seems that you need to pay around $900 for something that needs a RAM and SSD upgrade before you take it out of the cardboard. I have started going down the path of building a gaming machine for my son who at the moment is seriously into Minecraft. I have built some part lists with PCPARTPICKER but just did not have the confidence to pull the trigger. I think I know enough now about the budgeting of various components to build something he can use now and could possibly upgrade in the future. There are good motherboards and memory available here so I think I will invest there and go with and older RYZEN CPU that I can swap out when the price of the current generation CPU's comes down to somewhere near normal. I agree that PCPARTPICKER brought up some resellers that I would never consider buying from. We have newegg here but they are out of stock on most RYZEN CPU's.

    Love it, you do a great job of explaining things in down to earth fashion. THings are obviously different this year but in the past years i tended to stick around the lower end of the high end stuff
    ie
    when the next generation comes out with all the bells and whistles i'd opt for what was very good in the previous generation.
    ie X570 comes out, i'm rocking X470 if i'm upgrading for instance. I haven't gone Intel since AMD hit the big time way back when.
    CPU - probably the only thing i fork out on better and some overkill
    Graphics - i'm fine with it just works. CUrrently rocking a 1070 in my main rig with no desires to fork out on better until they get considerably cheaper, my backup system has my old 780Ti that i only upgraded to the 1070 for just this year.
    PSU - i stick around 800Watt gold rated range as that's way more then i'd ever need.
    Hard Drives - i mix M.2 for boot, SSD/Mechanical for storage
    RAM - aslong as it's 32GB and atleast 3200Mhz i'm good. Memory is relatively cheap atm so i have 2 systems with 64GB of 4000Mhz in one and 3600Mhz in the other.
    Motherboard - what has the general functions/layouts i need, dont want over the top addons. MSI/Aorus seem to fit my bill for years.
    Case - i like layout, not necessarily looks, NZXT are my go to.
    My only real iffy is what type of cooling i go for. I have not done proper water cooling yet, only AIO's. One day i may dabble in that but it's really beyond my needs
