Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
This guide is stupid. I prefer the Verge build guide. Much better and makes my PC faster. Also the wireless antistatic wrist bands protect my PC from static . I have several around my case and one around the CPU heatsink
This sure is helpful😊
I accidentally touch the thermal paste on my cpu cooler not thinking just my finger will it be okay?
WOULD LOVE your take and opinion on what build i need… i am a senior on a disability fund…not very tech savy..what i use my computer for is ( music , web surfing , facebook , shopping , emailing , photos , researching stuff etc ) I DO NOT PLAY GAMES ON IT other than card games and yatzee….my only requirement is a 2TB SSD or more ( currently have a 250gb and its half full ) I want fast and lots of storage for photos and music… would be interested what you come up with in which
motherboard ?
GPU ?
CPU ?
SSD ?
sound card ?
what RAM ?
case ?
power supply ?
etc
want best bang for your buck and still a kickass system that will last me 6 years or more I am usually on the computer about 5-8 hours a day
thank you i look forward to your thoughts
cheers from Canada
I just got a job I'm planning to build a gaming PC I don't want to buy a pre-built PC because it's a very expensive RTX 3060ti for $2k so I'm planning to build a PC with RTX 4070ti. It's probably gonna cost $2k
This video isn’t for people who know nothing about pcs
I’m just starting looking into building one, and damn, there’s so much stuff😅
Do you offer built computers. I'm tech savvy as a Truck Driver. I don't have the time. I would want a full tower, ATX system with liquid cooling technology, even though it's been out for a while. Because I'm in a semi truck, I would want it to cool better than air because it can get very hot in the truck while the A/C is on in the truck. I have a laptop that I haven't been able to figure out why it's not turning on after the bios. It just remains in black screen status and the desktop screen doesn't show up. I have Windows Vista OS SP1, Running an AMD 64bit dual core turion chip at 2.1ghz, with 3 gigs of mem and a 320 gigs hdd. This has the old 17" wide screen monitor, the last one before the change to 17.3. The main issue with this is case, and it always overheating. I even used a dual fan cooler it would sit on and still had issues. I don't know what HP has done to it, but it's never worked ever since I got it back. I know it's old and outdated. I still should be able to get it to at least turn on and clear out the new hard drive. The most it's used as in space is 3 gigs out of a 320 gig hard drive. Any hopes to transfer the info and all saved to a updated system. I mean, Windows Vista should work on newer Windows OS. That's how I understood upgrading the system. I don't want to lose previous pics and saved business info.
I just built my first pc. I watched this video 3 times and then had it on the whole time doing it. I don’t know why but it took my 5 hours lol. What a ride. Intel i5 11600k – aorus b560 pro ax – amd rx 6750 xt oc edition- 32gb ddr4 3600 – icu elite capellix cooler – corsair 1000w psu fully modular- 500gb ssd 7000mbs – corsair 4000d airflow
Didn’t realize windows 11 would be such a pain to install. Had to update the bios. New to all of this but it was awesome. Couldn’t have done it without the team.
This is an amazing video, and I love how like all of the classic LMG members helped out with parts of it, and it is an insanely well thought out video. Congrats.
I rather honestly get someone else to build me a gaming PC for me with what I have in mind to play. I really was thinking about following someone else's specs and just do that. It is really overwhelming to the point I just don't know anymore and forget about it. Anyways I'll take into consideration some of the things said so far.
The holy grail of PC building.
Thank you I followed this today and it still works
making a mistake on building a pc: 100%
God I haven't delved into this stuff in years. I'm so far behind. I wish I had a decent local electronic and computer store to find any decent parts in a local format. Shiiiiiiiiz.
I can’t get windows 11 past the initial purple screen. It says I don’t have drivers even with my mobo usb stick in the system
Brilliant. I love the team approach to this. I've been building computers for decades, but I still learned new things.
an hour 42 minutes? sheesh verge did it in 11 minutes i'mma watch that one
Working on my M EE degree, I took a course Quantitative Computer Performance. The textbook was 3 times as expensive as most textbooks. That is because to problems were taken from real data centers, not just pulled out of some professor's orifice. The emphasis was on measuring performance. Meaningless Information Propagated by Salespeople (MIPS), Ridiculous Instruction Set Computers (RISK), clock speed, number of cores, and cache size are totally meaningless. The only thing that mattered was the utilization (the percentage of time each system was actually doing useful work).
As an example, a mainframe computer with one fast disk drive and one slow disk drive was having performance problems. The manufacturer told them to double the CPU capacity. The result was a 2% gain at double the cost. The utilization of the fast disk was 98% and the slow disk was 30%. The solution was to move some system files from the fast disk to the slow disk. The fast disk was the bottleneck.
Another example is that if the CPU overlaps the next instruction fetches with instruction decode and execution, then the utilization of the bus from the CPU to the memory is 95%. An infinite amount of pipelining and parallel processing can improve the utilization by at most 5%.
In early PCs, the cache improved the performance by about 5%.
A paper ("On the speed up of ordinary programs using an oracle" ) addressing parallelism. With an infinite number of parallel processors and perfect knowledge of a program's behavior, on the average, you can expect your program to run about 3 times faster.
Note! This is about "ordinary programs" not games running on a GPU.
THANK GOD for this channel and this video! My last build was in 2008. and as much as I've done this process a hundred times, I haven't exactly kept up with the technology, standards, all the little things I would have to search for in a hundred places and probably never would have known I don't know them at all. This has been an easy boost in everything PC for me so thank you!
ah now i know why im screwed, coz i play game, and design to…….. oh well…. ill just wait till its raining gold or money…. then build the pc….
thanks im definatly gonna be coming back to this video for help alot, and probably the channel itself LOL! really useful.
Definitely worth the bookmark.
Literally just went to go and build my first pc tonight just to find out the cpu holder on my motherboard was missing two pins gotta love my luck, I’ll be back in 2 weeks to watch this again
I just built my first PC following this guide. Posted the first time I tried both on the test bench and after I installed in the case. Thanks, LTT!
Just built my first PC in well over 20 years following this. Thank you!
