    Dang I wish I had money

  2. Jennifer Smith on January 6, 2020 at 2:39 am

    Please Discuss, How do you know what Power Supply your Computer needs? How do you know if you have enough power? Does more power help or is it a waste?

  3. SaigaTenshi on January 6, 2020 at 2:39 am

    That inside of corsair mini itx…

  4. Jeffrey Chu on January 6, 2020 at 2:43 am

    Lol, it’s now 2020 when I’m watching this.

  5. Vital Trippn on January 6, 2020 at 2:44 am

    Anybody know what pc case he was using? The one with all the lights

  6. natalie hishun on January 6, 2020 at 2:46 am

    You’ve earned a sub mate. For the sheer fact that you talk to me like a human and not a robot made me subscribe. In fact, I’m gonna make a tutorial video on emulation such as pcsx2 in 2019-2020 and those CPU’s will help me out. Thanks

  7. jslacson on January 6, 2020 at 2:46 am

    Directions unclear. My penis is in the toaster.

  8. Snoww on January 6, 2020 at 2:46 am

    Just picked up my power supply ram and case today all i need is my storage gpu and mother board and im ready to build

  9. B C on January 6, 2020 at 2:48 am

    I’m wanting to build my first gaming pc through your videos I feel confident now that I can do it. Just not sure where to start with parts, I’m building it specifically for DCS. It requires at least a GTX 1070. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  10. Ti'Flo on January 6, 2020 at 2:49 am

    Thanks a lot! 🙏 I built my first pc yesterday following these 3 videos! 😌

  11. Andrew Daniels on January 6, 2020 at 2:50 am

    Can I use a case without glass?

  12. Meh on January 6, 2020 at 2:55 am

    Thanks a lot for all the info, I was saving up money for a new PC but had no clue where to begin in terms what would be good. Really helped out with all the little tips on what parts and stats would work together 😀

    Thank you Paul for the great information!

  15. God of Legends on January 6, 2020 at 2:56 am

    I’m currently doing research to build y first gaming pc from scratch. I have one question. Do you need to buy separate cooling fans for the case or will the fans in the case along with the fan that comes with the CPU be enough?

  16. Homie eevee on January 6, 2020 at 2:59 am

    2020 pls

  17. Colton Tuzzolino on January 6, 2020 at 3:00 am

  18. Totally Strange on January 6, 2020 at 3:01 am

    3.Patience on assembling
    4.Download

  19. Chris Flux on January 6, 2020 at 3:01 am

    This is why there’ll always be a console market. Mum or dad pop in to a shop for a present for their children grab a PS4 or an XBox job done. Mum or dad pop in to a pc shop for a present for their children……child: this isn’t the right spec I need!! 😕 Mother/Dad: Do you realise how much we paid for this all to be wrong 🤯

  20. MrUnicorn Cat on January 6, 2020 at 3:02 am

    I wish I had a Gaming Pc but I Got a Gaming laptop. I hope I get a gaming pc on 2020 christmas because Ive been using my gaming laptop since 2017 and I only get 60 fps Max

  21. Joel Gunn on January 6, 2020 at 3:02 am

    I have integrated graphics. Can I upgrade somehow?

  22. scubaron 22 on January 6, 2020 at 3:02 am

    Thank you for this video, a computer build is on my bucket list for 2020………this video helped…..!

  23. Terry Cheatham on January 6, 2020 at 3:04 am

    Just wanted to say that I just finished my first build. I can’t remember how many times I watched through these videos and picked up a little more than the time before. Thanks and now I want to build another one already lol

  24. Bob Dobalina on January 6, 2020 at 3:05 am

    You sound like a market trader. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit you talk quick and then you keep, showing me stuff and saying we won’t be using that today. I had to stop, as I’m out of breath trying to keep up. Great video and you seem like a nice chap but just a bit ooh and a little bit ahh. Roll up roll up. 😁

  25. Sebastian Sorondo on January 6, 2020 at 3:06 am

    whats ur # bb

  26. Rob b on January 6, 2020 at 3:07 am

    I want to build a gaming PC to play Digital combat simulator (DCS) can anyone recommend parts for me to buy ? Oh and I don’t need the high end parts but not real cheap ones.

  27. Maxine Bauman on January 6, 2020 at 3:07 am

    the pc i want to build ranges from $700 – $1500

  28. Froggy Fresh on January 6, 2020 at 3:11 am

  29. Lando B. on January 6, 2020 at 3:13 am

    Very Informative and actually teaches you how to build a PC. Most Videos I found on YouTube are all about "keeping it as short as possible guide" but those just don’t cut it in this case. This is the first Video I watched where I can say "Okay, now I know how to pick PC parts". Top Video on Picking PC parts!

  30. Gary A. on January 6, 2020 at 3:13 am

    The best “how to” series hands down. Thank you so much.

  31. 7.62x39 on January 6, 2020 at 3:13 am

    Totally legit but I’m pretty sure RGB makes my rig at least twice as fast

  32. Jordan on January 6, 2020 at 3:15 am

    Thanks so much for this , going in to tackle my first pc build! This video was insanely helpful!

  33. James Koralewski on January 6, 2020 at 3:18 am

    Can you talk a little faster? Why are you wasting your time explaining complex electronics when the listener could not even have time to write things down since you are talking so fast. SLOW DOWN A LITTLE, PLEASE!

  34. Andrew Young on January 6, 2020 at 3:19 am

    *not actually for beginners*

  35. Rory Packard on January 6, 2020 at 3:19 am

    Gotta do another one for 2020.

  36. mehmud on January 6, 2020 at 3:21 am

    finally a detailed tutorial, i have been searching this everywhere

  37. Gnomestar 1984 on January 6, 2020 at 3:24 am

    Most of these prices can be cut by at least $5 or $10 bucks using honey, use honey, I’m telling you I saved the big money

  38. Lafeyette Ransom on January 6, 2020 at 3:25 am

    I’m a small business owner (construction) = (Epoxy Floors & Concrete). I also own an automotive detail shop and I build custom cars. You might think one could give a shit about computer builds. I never got into it because I never could get those "smart" tech’s to explain the build well enough to make me care. However this vid for some reason was very successful in teaching me so I retain the info, lol I don’t know… maybe it’s because you totally sound like your working on a car? 😑I don’t know but I get it lol! But now I want to build a computer 🤨, however…🤔….I could totally build a custom computer for my truck! 🥳

    Thnx!

  39. power gaming on January 6, 2020 at 3:26 am

    I have a question… Would it be possible to use a laptop that I already have as the monitor… And get everything already in the laptop to work in sync with a gaming computer build and get the necessary performance that way???

  40. Kyle A on January 6, 2020 at 3:26 am

    Great video. I love watching this kind of stuff.

  41. Raymond Li on January 6, 2020 at 3:26 am

    what case did you use for the pc in the video

  42. KataLovesResets on January 6, 2020 at 3:29 am

    I think that before you think about size, budget, etc, the main thing you should know is the use you’re planning to do with that computer so then you can think about the budget/size or even if you really need a pc itself or a laptop.

  43. Alex Yoon on January 6, 2020 at 3:30 am

    Taking notes for my future computer. Love your video!

  44. Benji on January 6, 2020 at 3:31 am

    You’re gonna need a brain something to allow you to think and process information

  45. Arctic Joe on January 6, 2020 at 3:31 am

    Paul, you mentioned in the beginning that the processor’s heat sink and the fan was "to blow air over it." I always thought the fan in on top of a heatsink was for exhaust? IE: it pulled hot air AWAY from it. Is that wrong?

  46. ReDwIrE 93 on January 6, 2020 at 3:32 am

    No you are completely wrong. RGB adds +20 FPS per RGB component.

  47. doorran on January 6, 2020 at 3:34 am

    now we just have to do something about that stupid windows 10.

  48. Fortnite Nub on January 6, 2020 at 3:35 am

    Yo you should do a 2020 series plssss

  49. B V on January 6, 2020 at 3:36 am

    I love you bro, it’s like we’re meant to be best friends 💪🏼👍🏻

  50. HeckingGingerBoy on January 6, 2020 at 3:37 am

    waiting for the 2020 version even though this one is still pretty applicable
