Is it even possible for a PC to be that expensive?

You'd be surprised what 600g tubs of thermal paste can do to the price

oh dear he says shit like "i really like this motherboard" 

I don't think saying that is such a bad thing as long as you describe what you like about it. I mean I could write a short essay about my motherboard real quick...

 

I mean for example what I like in my motherboard is the ATX form factor because it doesn't cram all the parts so close together even though it takes up more room overall which is ideal for those who like to futureproof since the motherboard is the central hub that dictates all further upgrades. My specific motherboard can run some really nice 22nm processors like my Ivy Bridge i5 3450. I could've upgraded it to a Xeon E3-1290 V2 which is really good for the LGA 1155 socket and ideal for me since I use a dedicated GPU rather than the CPU's integrated graphics, but I'm waiting to upgrade to an AM4 socket motherboard after they come out later this year. I like that my motherboard has 4 RAM slots so that if I really wanted to I could upgrade to 16GB or even 32GB of DDR3 RAM. The only things I would further like from a motherboard that mine lacks are an extra PCI-E slot for if I ever wanted to attempt crossfire which again is useful for future proofing.

I was thinking about doing a build video for the last machine that I assembled, it would have been my first.

 

Thing is, it was a NUC. The only components was an M.2 drive and RAM.

 

I could have titled it 'Complete PC build in 5 minutes or less.'

 

Build videos that are just, essentially, PC Part Picker lists, are a waste.

Completely agree, those channels are stupid as fuck.

There are many things on the internet that are head scratchingly popular. It's worst when big channels with a dumb audience that takes them seriously does it.

wish you guys spoke dutch, because one of the biggest dutch gaming channels (dusdavidgaming) had someone build a pc for another youtube in a collab with intel,asus and corsair...

 

they called it a 4000 euro rendering pc...

4x 270 euro intel 730 series 480 gb ssd = about 1080 euros on just one array AND THEY PUT IT IN RAID 0

 

the specs are in the description

1000 watt psu for a 980 and an i7-4790k what were they thinking...

 

First impressions on video, "Did someone die it looks like their making a PC in someones honnor who died"

Second impression "oh... they have a Minecraft background.."

I would expect to find that video on the cringe channel or something, and it seems like we are not the only ones who think that because it has comments turned off and you can't see the like/dislikes

honestly i don't mind these videos as long as they aren't click bait titles and if they actually give valuable information. there is valauble infromation that people can give if they properly research and discuss what they like and don't like about the product. Many people cannot afford to build PCs yet they want to have a channel. As long as there not saying that "this can run GTA V 60 FPS easy" but rather back it up with online benchmarks, then its ok. The issue is that most people who make these videos post really stupid stuff where theyre clearly just hungry for views.
