Gaming pc building 101

[tacticalbacon89]

your videos on youtube are amazing i watched them for hours and they gave me the confidence to take on my first gaming pc build instead of letting someone else do it for me i have always wanted to build a pc but had know idea where to begin or how the even do it. but thanks to watching a ton, almost all of your videos on Linustechtips i feel like I GOT THIS(MAYBE)    if you get a chance and some time please make a very very detailed tutorial on building a standard gaming pc from the beginning with buying, to the end, satisfied and benchmarked, and slowly for us nubs lol. please if you do, explain the wiring in extensive detail, like typical headers,sockets,and plug in placements among motherboard vendors, best overall cable routing, what to look for and what not to look for on your part when you buy them, both when they get shipped to you and when your testing before install. also if it fails the test how to tell if its the motherboard that failed or the cpu or other. and lots of funny pictures and puns for optimal viewing pleasure of course lol

There are plenty of build guides, its impossible to cover everyting since all hardware is different

 

and most of it is common sense, seriously you need one screwdriver and you really cant connect things wrong

 

I helped a friend for the first time build a PC over skype, took like 25 minutes and they were up and installing stuff 

 

seriously its easy

There are like million tutorials on YouTube on how to build a PC, and even Linus itself has some build logs.

 

And it's very easy, even some users like me knows how to build one, even if I'm an all time laptop user.

I`m afraid it will be very, very hard to implement just about everything in ONE video or it`ll be hours upon hours long, maybe days. Even we `tech pro`s` don`t know every tiny thing about everything. It`s experience you need to build up, by listening, watching and doing stuff, impossible to virtualize. 

 

Just watch some build logs and that would be enough to know stuff, that you really need to know

Cheers man. LTT is awesome

 

However, there are other youtubers that have made video's you are looking for

 

Eg. Carey Holzman

 

 

 

Sure it's a bit old, but the basic principle is still the same.
