"i'll break it up nice and simple" *speaks minecraft enchantment table language*

Is this how my grandma feels when i text her friends for her

Finished watching the video, I think it's about PC's

"This guide is ment for new builders to understand" Me 5min in: uhhh ummm wat

AWSOME VIDEO! Now I just need a pc that is compatible with my wallet.

Person: I heard building a PC is easy Kyle: It is! Look at my simple chart Person: Head explodes

That's a lot of information crammed into 15 minutes of commentary. Ever think about adding a link to your script in the description? It would make it a lot easier to reference.

You know, whenever I watch one of these videos they start off by saying don't worry, anyone can understand this tutorial! And then 3 minutes in I'm banging my head against the wall trying to figure out what they are talking about

"Offers $5 until April 8th" Video uploaded April 10th. Thanks Dad.

Bro I saw that diagram and DID say fuck this but he caught me before I could leave. Thanks

A wild advertisement appeared! Viewer used skip ahead! It’s super effective! The wild advertisement fainted!

I Hope This Helps :) PSU = Power Supply Unit GPU = Graphics Processing Unit MOBO = Motherboard RAM = Random Access Memory CPU = Central Processing Unit CPU Cooler = Central Processing Unit Cooler

My mates said building a computer is easy. fml

Sees finding pc parts is hard Hmm goes to pc part picker finds already made lists hehehhe

Aw man this helped a TON. I didn’t even know where to begin when it came to knowing what goes with what, but this taught me exactly what I need to know to narrow things down based on my pre-existing case. For anyone confused, just draw up the octagon he described. It also helps to at least know what each part does and how it goes together...

hmmmm I thought I knew enough to build my own pc aparently not. i have watched around 75/100 youtube video's (about pc's) but together they dont even include this much information.

My Brain Just Died of PC Knowledge overload

Another tip is to make sure the CPU you pick will be operating at an equal or greater data flow in comparison to the video card so that you prevent bottlenecking your system. For more details search for PC bottlenecking articles.

This helped me so much when I built my pc that December and I just came back to it for reference and it still helped with my plans to upgrade.

Don't forget to pay attention to the height of 2.5" drives, as not all 2.5" drives are the same height (SSDs are usually 7mm, hard drives are typically 9.5mm). Some cases (Mini ITX cases in particular) will have mounting locations that are only 7mm high, preventing the mounting of spinning platter-type hard drives.

Note: the .tech ad says the offer has expired but it has not. Let this be a lesson to never trust ads.

All these Acronyms are hurting my brain... I don't watch Rick n Morty so I can't understand your big words

This video is so good! Thanks for the content bitwit. I've had this video in my playlists for ages now and I still find myself watching again when I want to change some parts in a computer to avoid pulling the trigger too fast on a part that might not fit properly.

I have heard that building a pc is like legos for big kids. Then I imagine pc parts all over the floor. Death

To add to the M.2 drive form factor/compatibility confusion (and thanks for the plug for my video BTW

I used this video to successfully build my first pc, thank you.

Great Video, I wasn't really sure about building my pc but this really helped lay down a template for me.

just gonna favorite this, imma need this in about 4-7months

WTF IS GOING ON IM JUST TRYING TO BUILD A FUCKING PC NOT BUILD AN ATOMIC BOMB

Hey bitwit thanks for this video, I've been looking into videos and this the first one where someone highlights specs so I know where to look when buying online thank you so much, will be building a PC soon 🙏🏽

This is awesome. More people should do this. You're the only one that did, and in depth. This helped me a lot with PC Part Picker.

I think he just overclock my brain😂

When you watch this video AFTER you order all your parts based on pcpartpicker...

That was super informative, and I personally like that you kept it as short as possible (I can always pause to take notes). It's also really cool that your PC building video is paced to be a much longer "realtime" guide.

Iiii May have to watch this a few times before I get a grasp of what you’re saying 😅

Who else has no idea what he's saying but loves every second of it By the way you earned a sub

*THIS IS WHAT A LARGE PORTION OF THE CONTENT ON THE INTERNET SHOULD BE LIKE.* Thank you so much for this very detailed and comprehensive video!

I actually found this really helpful and have used to it to pick all of my parts for my pc, THANKS!!

After I've done some research about pc parts, I finally start to understand what this video is talking about, but still it is so much information to absorb.

ok, ill just buy a laptop.

This fried my brain

Thanks man just cleared up a lot of questions. I think I’m ready to make my decision about my parts

Thank you for this video! I'm a novice, and this answered a lot of my questions.

A few minor things you forgot to mention: 1. PCIe is both backwards and forwards compatible. You can shove a PCIe 3.0 GPU in a PCIe gen 1.0 slot and it will theoretically work and vice versa. 2. PCIe cards can also be placed into slots that are not the same width. You can shove a PCIe x16 graphics card into an 8x, 4x or 1x slot. You can also shove a PCIe x1 card (like a SATA or sound card) into a 1x, 4x, 8x, or 16x slot and it will function, it will just work at the lowest common denominator of available speed. Although if you are going to shove a PCIe x16 card into an 8x slot or under, you will have to cut the slot so the extra PCIe connectors can overhang the slot. 3. you can actually plug a 20-pin ATX PSU connector into a 24-Pin ATX header in a motherboard and it will work. The same goes with the CPU power connector. You can plug a 4-pin EPS CPU power connector from the PSU into a motherboard with an 8-pin EPS CPU power connector and it will work fine. 4. If the PSU of choice has no SATA/molex connectors, adapters and SATA/molex splitters can be very cheaply obtained on ebay. 5. If you are going to go SLI or crossfire, make sure on the Nvidia side each GPU will be able to receive at least 8 PCIe lanes and on the AMD GPU side at least 4 PCIe lanes for crossfire/SLI operation. I don't know how many new PC builders will run into these issues as they are pretty minor, but you did forget to mention them.

THANK YOU so so so so much for this! I've spent at least 15 hours this week watching videos to understand how to choose pc part wisely and I've found literally nothing so awesome and complete and useful. I was in a confusion about all this stuff and this helped me really a lot. Thank you again for this incredible piece of knowledge.

Masterpiece theater presents - Kyle. I love how smart this video is. You rock and I appreciate you. All you guys have taught me a ton. Hopefully soon I'll build my first system.

this was the explanation I needed and it's 2020. Thank You!

I want to move from Xbox to PC but I’m afraid I won’t get all the parts or I’ll get the wrong size or something just won’t fit and it’s stressing me out I’m so confused

watched this video after I bought all my parts and had like 5 mini heart attacks though thankfully everything is compatible. Dx

This has been most informative video I've seen so far. Thanks

Thank you so much you relieved a lot of confusion and yes I'm new to this actually a virgin that being said I plan on building my own custom gaming powerhouse pc some day I considered pre built but after watching you I changed my mind, I don't know when I'll be able to afford it seeing that I want something that I'll have for years & I want to be able to upgrade. thanks again

You’ve explained pretty much everything about the parts, thank you I needed it!!

thanks for making this u have wanted to build my own PC for gaming for a wile now and just couldn't find a helpful guide on compatibility after watch this a couple tines i fell more confident in what parts to buy. So thanks again and have a good one

This was very HELPFUL. THANK YOU!!

I'm new to your channel so I've been binge watching your videos. In a few weeks I will be building my very first PC from parts, before that I've always have prebuilts. I'm really looking to dig deeper into the whole videoediting thing (well, been making videos for youtube since 2006-ish). My point being, I've found lots of tips and help for my future pc-building endeavour, so thank you for those. PS. Don't worry, I won't be doing it along, I got an experinced PC-builder to guide me along, step by step. Much love all the way from Finland!

100% beginner here and I apologize but I was confused by the video. I got that: cpu = processor Gpu = graphics card Psu = power supply Memory = RAM Storage = SSD, Hard drives Case = case MOBO = motherboard What do the names 2060 ti,ddr4, PCIe, h110 or z170 mobo, "ssd for your OS. I5"and mean? I read comments about suggested parts and I am 100% confused on what they mean. I'd like to 1)understand the terms or model names 2)Have a pc that runs games at 60 or over fps preferably Minecraft and ROBLOX with a 500$ budget

Very helpful video. Thank you!

as someone whose friend built their pc this did help me understand a lot of what he was doing when helping me pick the parts better but not completely.

You done good in making this video! Great job!

I'm thinking I'm gonna build a PC and I have all parts listed but man I scared to buy them and not work together

02:20 For that one alone he deserves a cookie!

This is the kind of detail that I want, thx man

Thank you so much on the helpfull information. I can finally build the spaceship iv always wanted keep up the good wrk bud

And I thought I know everything about building a pc

The first time i watched this video my head hurt from so much information. Now after learing a bit more about pc building, this actually makes more sense to me

I know this video is a few years old, but it helped immensely for me, a new builder. Thanks!

Wow, that was one of the best PC compatibility video I've seen. Thanks it is alot to take in

One of your best videos, thank you!!!

I have not a clue what you said all video🤔 Now need to re-watch the whole thing atleast 20xtimes before I start buying the components!

Watching this a LONG time since it was made and it's still extremely useful (and entertaining).

This has helped a lot tbh still iffy on a few things but it's helped me to get started in knowing what i need to look for.

Holy shit this video is helpful. I can finally find the parts to build a decent pc

That Donald Trump line got you 5k dislikes so far

As a complete rookie of building PC's this helped refine my pc part picker list

It is a great tutorial on how to look up compatabilities of your PC parts. It is useful and straight to the point.

Holy fuck this is alot of factors to put together to build a pc

watches entire video... hmm... welp back to PS4

Great well explained video for new builders!

"so that even a child or a Donald Trump Supporter can understand" Shots fired

If you're a beginner and you find this over whelming, I suggest that you look up "budget" builds or build guides on UKposts to take some of the weight off your shoulders. It worked surprisingly well for me when I was a beginner. So... Uhh... Good luck with that!

Watched it a few times i actually understand pc’s waay more thx man

Thanks man, it is really a great and informative video, I have learnt a lot just from this video alone. I hope you could make an update of this video, because maybe advancement in technologies will bring new compatibility problems?

this just makes me scared to order parts

I love this video, I keep coming back to it. Though what this comprehensive video didn't consider, perhaps I've missed the details you've mentioned it in the 20+ times I've watched it, is to consider the IO on your motherboard, specifically video output, if you wanted to opt for a gpuless set up during the era we may not speak of, but how were you to know. My PC had brilliance, but was locked in, and couldn't show it to the world. Tragic lol.

Long video but i watch the whole. Vid cuz it was all important and good Information bro thanks keept up

Soo much information wow! Altough I've already built my computer ^^

I can't feel my head anymore

I first watched this when it came out when i was going to build for the first time, now im watching it with my brother because he wants to build. I never would have thought

I remember first watching this video about 4 months ago and my brain was hurting from all this information, now it all seems intimate to me and im finally ready to build my first pc!

Please can you do an updated version of this video? Thank you so much

Trust me i havent learned anything...

Thankyou i was really worried my pc wouldnt connect together and waste money but u showed me all my parts would fit

thanks heaps helped me a lot to understand 👍🏻👍🏻

bro i don’t know what any of this means i just want to play minecraft please

+Bitwit (Sorry I ended up writing so much hope this does not cause needless confusion and manages to help people and educate them on system compatibility) GPU has a specified optimal system RAM which is usually twice that of the VRAM so if you have an R9 390x with 8 GB of VRAM you should get 16 GB of System RAM again this is optimal not a requirement. The GPU pulls from the system RAM to fill its VRAM buffer and if the system RAM is less it will not be able to effectively fill its VRAM as optimally for it would need to then pull from the virtual system RAM that is on the HDD, HHD, or SSD. (If I am wrong may someone please correct me in a reply but I am almost certain this is the case with VRAM and System RAM usage) Also not that the CPU and RAM should also have a line for the CPU has a RAM memory controller that is only supported by the manufacturer (AMD or Intel) to run at a certain frequency or specified number of memory channels. The AMD A10 7850K APU has a dual channel memory controller that is supported by 2133 mhz DDR3 memory so it would be optimal to get 2 DIMMs of memory that is rated for that frequency and enough to be utilized for maximum bandwidth (one in each channel so 2 DIMMs in this case) You could also place a line between CPU cooler and GPU for if you get a blower style GPU vs open air cooler on your GPU then it will affect how your CPU is cooled by dumping excess heat into the case and resulting in affected temps on your CPU An AMD R9 290 Powercolor PCS+ cooler card will dump a large sum of heat into your case which can cause your CPU to increase in heat by 1C - 15C depending on your cooling solution while a reference AMD R9 290 will usually have zero affect on your CPU's temperature. (This will make your "octagon method" complete in my own opinion)

this is so helpful thank u so much

Much respect bro this was a good video

Make sure your GPU outputs the correct types of signals to send to your Monitor, and if you have a 144hz monitor, you have to separately purchase a display-port cable of a DVI-D cable to be able to send 60+ FPS to your monitor. HDMI will not work most of the time. :)

I probably already know everything in the video, but I'm watching it anyways.
