My advice to first time builders is don't get too wrapped up in the performance numbers. Install your hardware, make sure you're clocking at the correct speeds and that everything is stable and then turn off the fps counter. Turn off the monitoring software. Just play the games. Don't lose sleep over that extra 10% of performance if you tweak that overclock for another 6 hours. Don't think, "I could have gotten those extra X frames if I upgraded to the Y". Just enjoy your PC.
This is good advice. Built my first PC last year and got way too obsessed over FPS and CPU/GPU temps and changing graphics settings that i barely played the games. It even convinced me to go back to PS5. Built another PC this year and now I don’t stress about any of that stuff. It’s been an amazing experience.
I have known people who spent so much time tinkering with their build that they barely ever actually used the PC. Used to drive me crazy watching them tweak for like an hour to get 1 FPS more instead of playing the games they were tweaking the PC to get 1 FPS more in.
@@nadtz For some folks, that's the fun, though, and that's OK, too.

My kid is starting to get interested in PC gaming. I had no idea these computers were designed to be opened and worked on. I was mind blown. Thought about getting him a prebuilt (starting to know the lingo for it lol) for his birthday, but I’m now I’m thinking maybe build one together. I’m not into games, but building one seems like something cool to bond over or if he wants to do it himself and I just watch him and try some of the things I’ve been learning. I’ve been asking around and UA-cam brought me to this video. Learned a couple more things! I have no experience so the thought of building is a little scary. Maybe we’ll start getting some parts and go from there. In the meantime I’ll keep checking out more videos in your channel!! 🤙🏻
I bought a prebuilt because the task of building from scratch seemed too daunting. Within a month i had swapped out everything except for the case. I now have a ton of parts from the original prebuilt collecting dust in my garage, the parts im super happy with in the rig, and the realization that I paid over $1,000 for a case. My best advice, just do the research, trust your abilities, and build your pc. You'll be glad you did. Hope this helps someone 😊
Hey there! I completely understand your struggle with upgrading and customizing your PC. Building your own rig can be daunting at first, but it's definitely worth it in the long run. It gives you the freedom to choose the exact components that suit your needs. If you're interested, I recently came across the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a versatile tool that can help maintain a spotless environment on your desk, in your car, and more. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it a handy addition to any setup. Just thought I'd share this cool find with you! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further recommendations. Happy to chat tech with you! 😊
My problem is I don't know what parts are compatible with what, like gpus and CPU and every mother board s work with which graphics card,, I just don't know how to match, if I did I would build mine, any suggestions?
My advice would be to realize that 99% of games out there can be played on GPUs as old as the 1060 or RX580, and CPUs to match. The better the hardware, the higher your settings get to be, that's all. Higher FPS will not in fact make you a better gamer. So don't think you have to spend a fortune to game. UA-cam is very good at trying to upsell to latest generations and 1440p and 4k, but honestly, if you can realistically only afford 1080p on an affordable card and monitor, then do that. You'll be happier. And that's the whole point, have fun. A lot of us bitter vets only engage in one past time: Crying about prices. Don't be us. Play games, have fun.
Yep. To go even further, some people decide to get one of those second-hand office desktops (HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu) that have relatively high stats (3.5-3.7 GHz along with 8-16 GB RAM) and just swipe the low-end built-in video card for a cheap dGPU, one that still nets them better overall performance. This is a cheap way to get into gaming, but I still prefer the more traditional route, whereby you pick a machine that is actually geared towards the goal.
Hey {{3}}, great to see someone emphasizing the importance of balancing fun and affordability in PC gaming! While high-end hardware can enhance the experience, it's not necessary to break the bank. There are plenty of GPUs like the 1060 or RX580 that offer excellent performance at 1080p. Remember, it's all about having fun and enjoying the games you love! By the way, have you heard of the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop spotless and maintaining peak performance. Let me know if you'd like more details! 😄

The PC master race is a big factor for some. Long story short it's a moving goalposts. PC hardware updates extremely quickly. If you like having the best hardware or latest products. It's like running on a treadmill. If you're ok with having the best system money can buy today and it being beaten in the next 6 to 12 months. Then welcome aboard
Does that mean you can still player newer games or do have to upgrade say im not worried about the absolute best performance possible would that be okay?
CPUs matter just as much as GPUs either one being bottlenecked will reduce fps so make sure both can withstand similar performances to make sure your getting the most out of your system. Also I like how mentioned si and oem prebuilds so ppl wont waste their money if wanting to upgrade. Super helpful 👌 💯
@@tyjermainep Intel Core i7-12700K is prolly the way to go it'll max your performance without bottlenecking your gpu but if you like AMD more I'd go with a AMD Ryzen 9 5950X both are very good matches with the 3060 tho Not 100% but if your wanting to overclock your gpu you might want to consider a newer cpu with more cores so you don't bottleneck while overclocking
When I heard GTA 6 will be 30fps on Xbox. That’s when I decided to pull the trigger and slowly buying gaming pc parts. Hopefully before next year I will have my RTX 4090 build.
another great video! i have to admit that i was going way over the top with my recent build. but one of the most important and best part's about pc vs console is that a console is purely for gaming while you can literally do almost everthing with a pc. for example, since i got mine i play way more guitar and even learned playing the piano cause recording and playing with your own tracks is so easy and so much fun. also have to agree on the part where you said it's very satisfying to research, order, than build your own pc and it boots up and everything is running. still get's me almost every day then i start mine. but it drains my bankaccount hard. the pc itself, the electricity bill is very high (here in germany electricity is hell expensiv) and also some gadgets and peripherals add up (headset, new keyboard, gaming mouse, higher hz monitor, maybe a good controller for slower paced games, in my case audio interace and midi-keyboard and so on)
I've been playing 30FPS on family PC's for the past decade so I think i'll quite literally boing out of my chair when I see how crazy the graphics look on my future gaming PC. Oh and how smooth it'll be too... 60FPS is so clean. I just hope that I get a PC that runs good for how much it costs and not buy something that I could've gotten for much cheaper with the same performance. So many brands and so many websites. Though i've quickly been able to grasp some of the important things when it comes to building a gaming pc thanks to PC Centric so thank goodness. I can actually understand what he is saying.
Love how he was comparing pc parts to car parts 😊. But building a pc is easy and hard. Easy to put everything together but the cables are a nightmare and difficult to figure out if not labeled and you don’t know what to look for. Would suggest getting a experienced person for the cable part.
Hey there! As a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I totally agree with your comment. Cable management can be a bit tricky, especially for beginners. If you find it overwhelming, getting help from an experienced person is a great suggestion. By the way, I recently came across a nifty device called the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule that could be handy for keeping your PC dust-free. It has some pretty cool features like powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Check it out! 😄
If you are getting into pc gaming then you need to expect that pc games are mostly unoptimized at least for the console ports. Always wait for the patch and reviews before buying saves you a lot of headache later down the road.
As a recent console to PC convert- no one told me that there would be so many damn launchers. I buy from Steam but need the Ubi launcher, when launching from Steam? Why?
I recently bought a new case and had to transfer all of my components from my prebuild. It was the first time i had to “build” a PC. The hardest thing for me was the wiring. My AIO cooler had two wires, each fan has two wires (6 fans total), the PC case has 4 sets of wires. etc. My prebuild had a controller/hub which allowed me to connect the rgb for all of my fans and pump, but this was not intuitive at all. Finding the appropriate connection for all of these on the motherboard was difficult, primarily for the AIO cooler as i wanted to ensure the pump was running at all times and at a consistent rate. Id imagine a build without rgb and an aio cooler would be A LOT easier
6:14 Has anyone noticed PSU's in the UK have gotten really expensive all of a sudden? I bought a 560W Fractal PSU in mid 2021 for £60 and now that same PSU is £90 😩 Also props to whoever wrote that intro, I really liked the balanced tone of it 😄
@@JudeTheUA-camPoopersubscribe Yeah it's not outrageous compared to GPUs for example, but I guess I'm stuck in the mindset that a solid 850W Gold should be about £80 😅
@@_solorosa Yeah I'd assume inflation plays a part of to it but a 50% increase in price over 2 years? The Bank of England inflation calculator puts that at power supply at £69 adjusted for inflation 😩

I haven’t owned a pc in about 3-4 years, and as you know there has been countless cpu and gpu releases. I’ve been researching for about 5 months now and I’m still unsure. I play LOL, Rust, Warzone, and other multiplayer titles, I’m looking for a good combo that’s versatile without completely breaking the bank. In the mid range I suppose. Any help?
Hardest part is: connecting cables to the on off button.... Can be 6 small wires damn,they look the sameon the tip but colors red white black.... I had to go back to shop. .. no clue motherboard and cables from the case ...
What's your opinion on 6750 XT? I'm trying to come up with a system that will easily play most (if not all) modern jRPGs, and let me tell you, even if it's a niche line of titles, some still require one heck of a system. I chose this card because it seems like a pretty decent option, sort of a middle-of-the-road in terms of price but still has better performance over the 6700 XT.
Hey {{3}}, as a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I can totally understand your concerns about finding the right hardware for optimal performance. While the 6750 XT seems like a decent option, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop clean and tidy, and it offers multiple uses like car interior cleaning and even inflating items. Definitely worth checking out! 💪🖥️
The 6750XT is sick. For that mid-tier performance range (somewhere between a 4060ti and 3070), at least where I live in Canada, it's basically the best price-to-performance card that you can get new. The 12GB VRAM is also a big plus.
Im completely clueless when it comes to the specs needed. How often am I going to have to spend a fortune to be able to play the latest games? All the jargon used for processors and graphics cards just sound like a foreign language to me. I play on console as its simple. I do want a decent PC though as I'm sick of seeing games I would love to play but then they only come out on PC. Am I going to spend money and then realise a year or 2 later that its not powerful enough anymore.

i just built my first pc with a 4070 and i know people say its bad but actually its underrated i can get 900 fps fortnite on performance mode and 220 fps wit hhighest graphics possible on
Hi. Loving the channel. Thanks. I’m looking to build a gaming PC purely for sim racing, Assetto Corsa and iRacing to name an initial two, but can’t find a suitable build spec anywhere. I’m also investing in a racing rig and would like the option to run three monitors. Would like the best quality regarding build spec but also need to keep budget in mind and don’t just want to go over the top and end up with an over spec machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a rtx 3060 pr3ebuilt from ibuypower and their all-upgradable parts, also it has branded parts. the only thing is the cooler you would want to upgrade
I just graduated from high school and my ma said she’d buy me a PC! She said she’d buy the actual PC system but I have to buy the monitor and all the other accessories on my own which is completely fair! But she did say i would have ti pay the rest of it was over 1000$ but I think I can get a really good system for 1000 and I can use My money for a really good monitor (maybe 2) and I already bought a cool Razer mouse and keyboard
I'm looking at prebuilts and their fps for games I play and I notice that they put out more than what my monitor can handle...which might be overkill but I like to think of it as futureproofing (ex. CoD MWIII recommending a 3060) everything's moving up and it's best to keep with it than fall behind
You missed a major reason for graphics card costs spiking massively: namely, datamining was being done by people who were buying dozens/hundreds of graphics cards to do this.
Realize that Warzone does not look better but runs more consistent fps on ps5 then my pc with a 4090 and a i9 13900k. It’s the only game that does this :p
Honestly with the parts available today you don’t need duel pc to stream and play you’ll get very little performance penalty when playing while streaming
Hi , that’s my first visiting your channel and i found it amazing 🤩 I’ve never been good about tech things and therefore I was just searching for some good hints about having a gaming pc. I usually play quite a lot ESO online on my ps5 but have been told that by playing it on a gaming pc would give me much better image quality since I love role playing . So the question is what graphics card should I prioritise in order to have the best image quality possible? Thanks
I finally took the plunge and got a Corsair 4000d airflow in black and put in some Lian li st120 fans that I had already in the front and moved the fans that came included up the top, plan is to get 7800x3d, Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard next and still debating what graphics card to go for? 🤔
@@OneLeggyBoy I don’t really have one, I want top performance so I can play any game at sky high frame rates as I play all kinds of genres but I don’t want one that I won’t see anymore performance from just coz it’s more expensive if that makes sense? It’ll be gaming only also if that helps, no recording or streaming/editing etc
Well, that's why sites like PC Part Picker are useful. You can put in the parts and it will tell you if they work together or not. Installing modern Windows is super easy. You can have Windows installed on most PCs in about 10 minutes or less. A fully setup Windows install (with drivers and updates) can be done in about an hour (give or take some time depending on your internet speed). If you think that's a pain, you haven't installed old Windows. Back then, it was easily a multi-hour ordeal. A buggy drive could completely corrupt your Windows install. It was a mess.
I'm thinking about transitioning from Xbox one S to a gaming PC which is something totally new for me. But the only reason is I want to experience Skyrim modded beyond its meager limitation on console, but have no clue do I merely have to meet Skyrim's recommended requirements for RAM and GPU or do I need to go 2x beyond??? Ps. Just before your joke's punchline I had an un- skippable ad, ruining the punchline
I'm not very familiar with the game, but it looks like it came out like 13 years ago. Pretty much any semi-modern PC from the past 5 years should be able to run it without many problems. In other words, if you're only playing Skyrim, you don't need the most powerful gaming PC money can buy.
hi mate grate video 👍 I have been building PC since 2000 the best advice I would give for a new builder is to buy parts New and check out the reviews as there's been a lot of sub standard parts out there I got court out with the 7900x3d and bios sending way to much power to the CPU to rap it up in one sentence do your home work before you buy parts
In my humble opinion, a PC gaming guide in 2023 should address the fact that Windows is no longer the only viable option, as gaming on Linux has came so far it is now a perfectly valid choice for those who are willing to tinker.
I literally see no one online (PC/gaming UA-camrs) talking about or playing on Linux. Idk much about about it but it seems as if Linux is just a worse alternative with some very specific benefits over Windows. No real reason to choose it over Windows if ur primarily gaming
@@SteelKreel I'd say it depends on what games you play. If they all work in Linux (or you don't mind giving up games that don't) *and* you don't mind the learning curve there are benefits to be had. The Steam Deck has done a lot for Linux gaming in a pretty short period, if you pay attention to that kind of thing a surprising amount of people are at least tinkering with Linux because of it even if they end up sticking with windows.
I have a 12400F and a H610, thats the cheapest MB for LGA 1700. I would recommend you get a B660 minimum. What a B660 will give you that a H610 wont is the ability to run your ram above 3200mhz and the price difference is only around £30. If there is a possibility you will upgrade to a 12600KF or higher later, get a Z690. More expensive motherboards usually have more options for fans, faster PCIE storage, options for faster ram and better power delivery for top tier CPUs. I personally do not buy ASROCK motherboards. ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE are good in my opinion.
Yo dude! Great vid. I want to get into pc gaming but have no clue what to do. I’ve never had a computer of my own and don’t know what everything does and means like the graphics card and other weird numbers and things. I just need a professional opinion on what would be good for me so I can save up for that stuff. Is there like a store or place where I can get like a opinion and help from a person that knows what they are doing?
Check to see if you have a Microcenter in your area. From what I hear, they have pretty good and knowledgeable staff when it comes to PC building. If you don't have an MC in your area, look for a local, reputable PC repair shop. They should be able to build out a PC for you.
2:48 “Why you NEED a graphics card” me who doesn’t have one but knows he needs one be like: “wish i would’ve got one when i built the computer🤦🏾♂️” Gaming with a cpu with integrated graphics was fun at first, but as i keep playing and exploring new games i realize, I need a freakin gpu😭
Hi so I've built a pc with 5700g what card would you recommend i pair with it? Im looking at the rx 6600 as a strong contender. Id love to buy a different cpu but i dont know if i should be wasting more money on a whole new set up. Ive seen people say 5600 with rx 6600 but that means selling the 5700g.
How much would a gaming pc cost electricity wise? My friend who has a gaming pc has 1200w PSU in which he brought it round my house to a point where within an hour and half tops the electricity went up £3! I'm after a mid range gaming but don't mind having a budget with a good cpu in which to upgrade my gpu further along the road. If anyone can advise on the cost and PSU needed for my criteria I'd be grateful, cheers
Does bro have a whole generator in his pc or how tf did he get 3£/hour?? Also as long as he doesn't have a literal generator in his pc, I don't think you need a 1200W PSU 😂
HELP ME PLEASE: I've been on xbox or playstation my whole life but have wanted a PC for the last few years. Someone local on Facebook is selling a PC with "r7 5800x processor, 16gb 3200 ddr4 ram, 6750xt graphics card, and 1 tb nvme drives" for $500. To me this seems like a really good deal but I'm also clueless. Should I go for this or spend double the money and buy a new one? (zero chance I'm capable of building one myself without destroying it)
Awsome video! I've had my pc for about 4 years. I know they come out with new parts every year. But I just wish i knew more about the upkeep for pc. I've watched vidoes about how to clean Temps files and stuff on pc to get it to run faster. But do you have to change out parts on a pc every now and then? Or what if your running out of space for all your games from steam? I had figure out my cloud storage because it too full I guess so I switched all my data to external hardrives and that fixed the problem for now.

Not 100% but if your wanting to overclock your gpu you might want to consider a newer cpu with more cores so you don't bottleneck while overclocking

When I heard GTA 6 will be 30fps on Xbox. That’s when I decided to pull the trigger and slowly buying gaming pc parts. Hopefully before next year I will have my RTX 4090 build.
Gta not releasing on pc for long after consoles. So be prepared to wait forever
Idk wtf I’m looking at right now it’s so much smart words going on
1 mintue in and I already know this is the video I've been looking for for close to a month now
Ordered my first pc parts, they’re arriving in two days. So excited for building my first pc😊
Your personal rig is beautiful
With pre builds you can usually customise them and change out parts for less or more expensive stuff🙂
That transition at 9:43 was quite slick. Thought no one would catch it, did you? 🤣
another great video! i have to admit that i was going way over the top with my recent build. but one of the most important and best part's about pc vs console is that a console is purely for gaming while you can literally do almost everthing with a pc. for example, since i got mine i play way more guitar and even learned playing the piano cause recording and playing with your own tracks is so easy and so much fun. also have to agree on the part where you said it's very satisfying to research, order, than build your own pc and it boots up and everything is running. still get's me almost every day then i start mine.
but it drains my bankaccount hard. the pc itself, the electricity bill is very high (here in germany electricity is hell expensiv) and also some gadgets and peripherals add up (headset, new keyboard, gaming mouse, higher hz monitor, maybe a good controller for slower paced games, in my case audio interace and midi-keyboard and so on)
This was a great video! 👍
I really enjoyed this, I had to subscribe immediately, Thanks a lot man, I was able to understand some things better after watching this
FYI, you can also use alternative stores for consoles to buy things like games, Gamepass, and PS Plus subscriptions.
I've been playing 30FPS on family PC's for the past decade so I think i'll quite literally boing out of my chair when I see how crazy the graphics look on my future gaming PC. Oh and how smooth it'll be too... 60FPS is so clean. I just hope that I get a PC that runs good for how much it costs and not buy something that I could've gotten for much cheaper with the same performance. So many brands and so many websites. Though i've quickly been able to grasp some of the important things when it comes to building a gaming pc thanks to PC Centric so thank goodness. I can actually understand what he is saying.
thank you for the vid! i needed this one
Thank you so much bro, I built my gigabyte EAGLE OC 4070ti from you! Thank you so much!
Love how he was comparing pc parts to car parts 😊. But building a pc is easy and hard. Easy to put everything together but the cables are a nightmare and difficult to figure out if not labeled and you don’t know what to look for. Would suggest getting a experienced person for the cable part.
Hey there! As a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I totally agree with your comment. Cable management can be a bit tricky, especially for beginners. If you find it overwhelming, getting help from an experienced person is a great suggestion. By the way, I recently came across a nifty device called the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule that could be handy for keeping your PC dust-free. It has some pretty cool features like powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities. Check it out! 😄
If you are getting into pc gaming then you need to expect that pc games are mostly unoptimized at least for the console ports. Always wait for the patch and reviews before buying saves you a lot of headache later down the road.
Great video!
Make sure you have a comfortable chair 1st. All the rgb and fps mean nothing if you can’t sit for longer then 10min to enjoy it😫
Fully agree. Decent chairs can be pricey, but they are worth the investment especially for people who work or game at a computer for a long time.

As a recent console to PC convert- no one told me that there would be so many damn launchers. I buy from Steam but need the Ubi launcher, when launching from Steam? Why?
EA launcher, blizzard, ubisoft, riot, epic.....drives me crazy.

awesome vid
I recently bought a new case and had to transfer all of my components from my prebuild. It was the first time i had to “build” a PC. The hardest thing for me was the wiring. My AIO cooler had two wires, each fan has two wires (6 fans total), the PC case has 4 sets of wires. etc. My prebuild had a controller/hub which allowed me to connect the rgb for all of my fans and pump, but this was not intuitive at all. Finding the appropriate connection for all of these on the motherboard was difficult, primarily for the AIO cooler as i wanted to ensure the pump was running at all times and at a consistent rate. Id imagine a build without rgb and an aio cooler would be A LOT easier
Great editing!!! lol
YES A NEW VIDEOOOO
Thank you
You fogot to mention most pc games release broken nowadays .
the "yea its a right pain in the, ask me how to get the most..." got it lmaoo good one
So, is there any chance at building a decent gaming PC for less than $600?
Not me watching this whilst already knee DEEP into PC Gaming.
Researched for 3 months ..I'm happy with first build..got the bug now wanna build my kids 1

6:14 Has anyone noticed PSU's in the UK have gotten really expensive all of a sudden? I bought a 560W Fractal PSU in mid 2021 for £60 and now that same PSU is £90 😩
Also props to whoever wrote that intro, I really liked the balanced tone of it 😄
I got an 850w Corsair gold rated fully modular power supply for £120 the other month. It's not that outrageous
That’s normal inflation due to the crisis, something outrageous would be if that 560W was £60 and now it is £250 or more
@@JudeTheUA-camPoopersubscribe Yeah it's not outrageous compared to GPUs for example, but I guess I'm stuck in the mindset that a solid 850W Gold should be about £80 😅

One thing is that you don't always need the best but buy the best you can afford.
I still run a 8700k/2070 that I've had knocking on 5 years.
And advice on which graphics card I should get? I'm looking for one thats good for games such as Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Minecraft.
probably nothing too hard something like a 3060 or lower would be nice
Me who’s been PC gaming for a couple years now: “Interesting”
I haven’t owned a pc in about 3-4 years, and as you know there has been countless cpu and gpu releases. I’ve been researching for about 5 months now and I’m still unsure. I play LOL, Rust, Warzone, and other multiplayer titles, I’m looking for a good combo that’s versatile without completely breaking the bank. In the mid range I suppose. Any help?
Crypto Mining was the real reason gpu prices was crazy. Then they took the ability to do that away and thats when prices came back down .
Hardest part is: connecting cables to the on off button.... Can be 6 small wires damn,they look the sameon the tip but colors red white black.... I had to go back to shop. .. no clue motherboard and cables from the case ...
I've been into PC Gaming for almost 2 years. Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Fortnite are all my favorite games to play on PC
Oh
What's your opinion on 6750 XT? I'm trying to come up with a system that will easily play most (if not all) modern jRPGs, and let me tell you, even if it's a niche line of titles, some still require one heck of a system. I chose this card because it seems like a pretty decent option, sort of a middle-of-the-road in terms of price but still has better performance over the 6700 XT.
Hey {{3}}, as a fellow PC gamer and tech enthusiast, I can totally understand your concerns about finding the right hardware for optimal performance. While the 6750 XT seems like a decent option, have you considered the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule? It's a handy tool for keeping your desktop clean and tidy, and it offers multiple uses like car interior cleaning and even inflating items. Definitely worth checking out! 💪🖥️
The 6750XT is sick. For that mid-tier performance range (somewhere between a 4060ti and 3070), at least where I live in Canada, it's basically the best price-to-performance card that you can get new. The 12GB VRAM is also a big plus.
Im completely clueless when it comes to the specs needed. How often am I going to have to spend a fortune to be able to play the latest games? All the jargon used for processors and graphics cards just sound like a foreign language to me. I play on console as its simple. I do want a decent PC though as I'm sick of seeing games I would love to play but then they only come out on PC. Am I going to spend money and then realise a year or 2 later that its not powerful enough anymore.
Me and my brother order a pc set up with table and chair and a decent size computer screen for 700 or so in total our first set up the pc itself is 490. been on mobile for so long now I'm exited

Hi. Loving the channel. Thanks.
I’m looking to build a gaming PC purely for sim racing, Assetto Corsa and iRacing to name an initial two, but can’t find a suitable build spec anywhere.
I’m also investing in a racing rig and would like the option to run three monitors. Would like the best quality regarding build spec but also need to keep budget in mind and don’t just want to go over the top and end up with an over spec machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
"Oh, don't walk into that..." I don't know why but that had me laughing hard! 🤣🤣
Watching this years into PC Gaming hehehehe
I have a rtx 3060 pr3ebuilt from ibuypower and their all-upgradable parts, also it has branded parts. the only thing is the cooler you would want to upgrade
I just graduated from high school and my ma said she’d buy me a PC! She said she’d buy the actual PC system but I have to buy the monitor and all the other accessories on my own which is completely fair! But she did say i would have ti pay the rest of it was over 1000$ but I think I can get a really good system for 1000 and I can use My money for a really good monitor (maybe 2) and I already bought a cool Razer mouse and keyboard
I'm looking at prebuilts and their fps for games I play and I notice that they put out more than what my monitor can handle...which might be overkill but I like to think of it as futureproofing (ex. CoD MWIII recommending a 3060) everything's moving up and it's best to keep with it than fall behind
9:42 smooth
I'm new to pc gaming, and your videos almost give me the confidence to go and build my own. However, could I buy one you have built on this channel?
You missed a major reason for graphics card costs spiking massively: namely, datamining was being done by people who were buying dozens/hundreds of graphics cards to do this.
Realize that Warzone does not look better but runs more consistent fps on ps5 then my pc with a 4090 and a i9 13900k. It’s the only game that does this :p
Would ❤ to see a dual system build for gaming and streaming ?
Honestly with the parts available today you don’t need duel pc to stream and play you’ll get very little performance penalty when playing while streaming

Parts compatibility is my biggest nightmare
And installing windows sounds like a pain
Well, that's why sites like PC Part Picker are useful. You can put in the parts and it will tell you if they work together or not. Installing modern Windows is super easy. You can have Windows installed on most PCs in about 10 minutes or less. A fully setup Windows install (with drivers and updates) can be done in about an hour (give or take some time depending on your internet speed). If you think that's a pain, you haven't installed old Windows. Back then, it was easily a multi-hour ordeal. A buggy drive could completely corrupt your Windows install. It was a mess.
Installing Windows is pretty easy.
My biggest roadblock is spending a lot of money on a new pre-built, even though I already have a Xbox series X. Is it worth it?
I'm thinking about transitioning from Xbox one S to a gaming PC which is something totally new for me. But the only reason is I want to experience Skyrim modded beyond its meager limitation on console, but have no clue do I merely have to meet Skyrim's recommended requirements for RAM and GPU or do I need to go 2x beyond???
Ps. Just before your joke's punchline I had an un- skippable ad, ruining the punchline
I'm not very familiar with the game, but it looks like it came out like 13 years ago. Pretty much any semi-modern PC from the past 5 years should be able to run it without many problems. In other words, if you're only playing Skyrim, you don't need the most powerful gaming PC money can buy.
i know nothing about computers or pcs. I wanted to create a gaming channel but have no idea where to get a beginners gaming computer and a pc.
I'm 100% okay with 1080p graphics, as long as I have high FPS, what could be a good starting pc build if anyone has one in mind?
1070 or 1650 for the graphics card if your on a budget
Do you have a video explaining how to get games ? Like steam walkthrough/setup, Bethesda,ea etc
hi mate grate video 👍 I have been building PC since 2000 the best advice I would give for a new builder is to buy parts New and check out the reviews as there's been a lot of sub standard parts out there I got court out with the 7900x3d and bios sending way to much power to the CPU to rap it up in one sentence do your home work before you buy parts
In my humble opinion, a PC gaming guide in 2023 should address the fact that Windows is no longer the only viable option, as gaming on Linux has came so far it is now a perfectly valid choice for those who are willing to tinker.
I literally see no one online (PC/gaming UA-camrs) talking about or playing on Linux. Idk much about about it but it seems as if Linux is just a worse alternative with some very specific benefits over Windows. No real reason to choose it over Windows if ur primarily gaming
@@SteelKreel I'd say it depends on what games you play. If they all work in Linux (or you don't mind giving up games that don't) *and* you don't mind the learning curve there are benefits to be had. The Steam Deck has done a lot for Linux gaming in a pretty short period, if you pay attention to that kind of thing a surprising amount of people are at least tinkering with Linux because of it even if they end up sticking with windows.
Nope..

Hey centric I was wondering if a motherboard affected your pc and if you have any recommendations for a i5-12400f processor
Budget build this week!
I have a 12400F and a H610, thats the cheapest MB for LGA 1700. I would recommend you get a B660 minimum. What a B660 will give you that a H610 wont is the ability to run your ram above 3200mhz and the price difference is only around £30. If there is a possibility you will upgrade to a 12600KF or higher later, get a Z690. More expensive motherboards usually have more options for fans, faster PCIE storage, options for faster ram and better power delivery for top tier CPUs. I personally do not buy ASROCK motherboards. ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE are good in my opinion.
Yo dude! Great vid. I want to get into pc gaming but have no clue what to do. I’ve never had a computer of my own and don’t know what everything does and means like the graphics card and other weird numbers and things. I just need a professional opinion on what would be good for me so I can save up for that stuff. Is there like a store or place where I can get like a opinion and help from a person that knows what they are doing?
Check to see if you have a Microcenter in your area. From what I hear, they have pretty good and knowledgeable staff when it comes to PC building. If you don't have an MC in your area, look for a local, reputable PC repair shop. They should be able to build out a PC for you.
