  • the awkward moment when he has to build the computer just to upload this video XD

  • eh...hes probably thinking "did i forget about the monitor? ahhh shit!"

  • OMG.... So you mean I don't need a monitor? It must be so smart to connect to my brain wirelessly like that....

  • if i build a computer without casing can??

  • a hardness drive lol

  • Could the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 be in the HP Pavilion Slimline s5610t?

  • There's no reason that this couldn't all be one video. Why the fuck did you cut it into peices?

  • @AtomicHercules it calls chapter hehehe...

  • @dobot75 It's called being a fucking douche bag asshole.

  • and you need a monitor to see stuff too dipshit.

  • Er hem u forgot sound card how the fk did u forget that, silent pc -.+

  • @quangluu96 Yall are some idiots.. motherboards have built in sound cards.

  • @larlar752000 well modern day yes, it have, but earlier years u must install by themself

  • now do how to post more 40 seconds on youtube

  • Thangsks nows I kan buildz eh peecee! Grate vidieoh!

  • Notice that he said the power supply will hold it.... I'm pretty sure Thats its the cases job to "hold" things...

  • Wow. I'm not sure how I made it through such a lengthy video.

  • u forgot the monitor lol

  • sound card?

  • @MrB0BS4g3t  its usualy onboard

  • @nookie380 no he forgot the sound card :P

  • @MrB0BS4g3t no he did not forget the sound card. There's already one integrated into the motherboard.

  • the asain's brain popped

  • No sound card? You better hope your motherboard has one intergrated into it.

  • wat pieces do you recommend?

  • What do you mean by that? Every part in that video is required for the computer to function right. Except for the speakers, those are optional.

  • i mean, like which pieces are best

  • Depends on what you want your computer to be able to do.

  • lol NOW I KNOW EVERYTHING

  • Now I know that too :P

  • Thanks Elred, now I know. :D

  • Don't you need like an internet card or whatever to get internet?

  • @OMGitsSHAHN Most ( if not all ) new motherboards come with onboard ethernet, a lot of the time wifi also.

  • Only if you have a wireless network set up that isn't locked within about 100 feet from your house. If you don't have a wireless network, you need an I/O card to have an Ethernet cable plug from the card directly to your modem. You must have a modem to access internet.

  • Um surely a monitor is more important than speakers, no?

  • yea but you dont need a monitor to build a computer

  • I know, but it says you NEED to have speakers, keyboard and mouse but those are not needed to build a computer either. They're just as important as the monitor.

  • oh! ok, now i got you....

  • This is only to BUILD the PC....not operate one.

    If you need those items then you add to the "list" when you buy your parts but its not needed to build the PC itself.

  • this is great but i cant find a single place to buy this (please leae a reply)

  • search online for each part or look at retail stores and ask.

  • newegg

  • newegg

  • newegg dosent even give you the boxes

  • @sbvikings30 What are you talking about? Maybe if you buy a re-certified item, or open box item. I always buy new/unopened things from newegg. Do you want me to send you pictures of boxes?

  • Some motherboards have video memory built into it already,And you don't need to buy a power suply if the case already has one.

  • still its' usually better to buy things separate as long as you know they will work properly together.

  • could be a curropt bios too. ive had this problem

  • Did you connect you CPU power? The 4pin cable.

  • make sure you ram isnt damaged 2 beeps means there is a hardware problem..it could be your video card, but something isn't working by the sounds of things it's your video card ,always remember to destatic when touching anything inside the case static electricity will destroy your computer..

    good luck hope u get it fixed

  • what about a monitor?

  • you forgot a display, you cant do anything without it

  • @Frexizz Unless they come out with some sort of connector like HDMI on 1 side and the other to your brain, LOL that;s HD right there!

  • it might be on board (built in to the motherboard)

  • This is the first computer build that I didnt buy a dedicated sound card.

    My Box: Antec 900 Case Rev 2.0

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @3.2GHZ (tons more room for higher clocks)

    Zalman 9700 Pro Heatsink 28C Idle 41C Load

    EVGA 780i Tri SLI Motherboard

    EVGA 8800GT SuperClocked GPU 735/1850/2.2

    4GB OCZ HPC Dominator X memory

    500GB 32MB Cache Hard Drive

    Corsair TX 750 Watt PSU 80%+ Efficiency

    Dual Displays: Gateway HD2200 PiP 22" HD WideScreen LCD w/HDMI/Component/DVI + 19" ViewSonic HD WideScreen LCD

  • how much was it all

  • Around $1200 bucks. When i first bought everything it was much more than that but obviously over time prices drop. I mean the Q6600 when it was first released was $830 bucks then it dropped to $549 now its at $219. Same with the 780i Tri SLI motherboard. It was like $300 bucks when it was first released now its only $150.

  • probably not that much building a comp

    is realy cheap

  • Those "basic" parts are enough for blind people only..

  • hahaha XD!!

  • no monitor? fail...

  • It's building a computer -.- the monitor is different from the actual computer

  • well technically so are the keyboard and mouse too

  • the metal blob that all your parts go into

  • why doesnt this guy just put this all in one video?? its probably confusing the shit outa people that dont know how to build a computer

  • confusing the shit out of people who dont know how to put together a computer AND surf the web thats for sure.

  • LOL!!!!!!

  • lol a case and a power supply to hold it.

  • cool no sound card? question! if u dont buy a sound card, is it not possible to have sound on ur computer?

  • if you dont have a sound card you cannot hear sound period.

  • No, there's a built in sound card, there's really no point in having a sound card unless you have a multimedia computer or want lots of speakers.

  • that helped!!!

  • wow dude! Too many CPU Things! Can't take which one!!! OMG!

  • AMD is the best.

  • go die in a hole

  • To many videos with not enough lenght. Next time put most videos together to get a vid length of at least 3 minutes.

  • Holy fucking shit, another 20 seconds of WIN!!

    Now I can definitely build a copmputer!!

  • @Flashed6 Don't swear Holy **** it hurts some people. y'know?

  • no need for a monitor?! wow thanx you saved me $200 bucks!! =D

  • Yes that is correct. Monitors are useless when you can stick the cable up your ass, and get the information directly sent into your brain.

  • that way, no one sees what you're looking at on the internets!! =D

  • omg i have to try that in my ass to get internet in my brain it looks awsome!! :D

  • do you think my ass is HDMI compadable?

  • Only way is to just try it, but also film it and upload the video here on YouTube.

  • hahah....if i ever try it ill b sure to upload a video

  • Don't be stupid man. Your ass is analog. Only your balls are digital.

  • you missed the cou fan

  • wow that was quick

  • how much will all this cost?

  • Vary , depend on how good you want.

  • lol, almost as short as the first one.

  • why dont you put all the lil vids together to make one?

  • that would require effort

  • how much money does it cost to buy most of those parts though. im thinking about building computers and selling them on ebay if i could make a profit?

  • Depends. It can range anywhere from $200 for a really cheap Celeron or Sempron based computer with integrated graphics to a couple thousand for a fast overclocked quad core machine with 3 Geforce 280s in SLI and water cooling.

  • you wont make money i saw one on ebay 900 the parts cost 1600 and it had vista ultimate 0ffice 2007 and photoshop!

  • wow great explanation . he didnt mention the difference between the sound cards or even say it . internal external? ... -.-

  • you forgot the Installition Disks

  • xDDD

  • He for got the monitor! lmao XD

  • But thats not building is it? Its already made for you xD

  • i`m curious though, what´s the point of these small vids? who would need this?

  • fuck this!

  • If you don't like it then fuck off, we don't need to know.

  • whatever

  • wow, great comeback.

  • lol why waste your time on this! I feel sorry for ya. You little peace of shit..

  • who said i was even using it? well im not. i have built a pc and it is fine, ui wouldn't waste my time on this, i just stumbled on it.

  • what about the monitor lolz

  • no you just close your eyes and remember where your mouse cursor is (every times it starts up the cursor is in the middle). Save a bundle on a monitor.

  • ok part 2 was better and i liked the look of that case.....on to part 3!!!

  • Whats an Optical Drive? A HardDrive? Cant find one on Newegg?

  • optical drive is the thing you put in your cd-rom/dvd-roms

  • O M G

  • An optical drive is ur cd drive

  • what about a sound card? or is that built into the motherboard?

  • you can usually get a motherboard with decent built in sound.

  • Think he Missed Out Monitor .. Not much use with out one

  • good videos.

    You help me, i was thinking building a pc.

  • What about a monitor?

  • He forgot about the CPU fan.

  • there comes boxed cooler with processor..

  • Nice Tut but with all that laughing...people might think that u are telling them BS lol

  • Thats exactly what i was thinking

  • LOL, you forgot to mention that people need HeatSinks for those that are new to it and other more detailed stuff.

  • heatsinks comes with cpu...

  • not all cpus come with a heatsink

  • whats an optical drive

  • a DVD writer or reader

  • me again does a power supply have to be specific

  • Yes it needs to be able to give a aount that is at or greater then u need

  • is a Gigabyte GA-6IEML PIII Motherboard with Celeron 1.3Ghz a good motherboard because i found one on ebay and its like less than an australian dollar and i was just supprised at that cheap price

  • that motherboard is a piece of crap.

  • thanks could you name a good one

  • If you have mucho money I would recommend the Asus Striker II Extreme with an Intel Quad-Core QX9770 Extreme, and with either two GeForce 9800 GX2 or three GeForce 8800 Ultra's (even though Ultra's are impossible to find), an appropriate power supply, and some water cooling.

  • thanks i try look out for thoes things once again thanks a lot

  • dual-core is really all u need now a days. an upgrade wont be necessary for another couple of years. stick to an nVidea chipset and onboard pci or pcie. fuck agp no one needs it anymore

  • wow thats the gayest thing i have ever read on here. no one cares about your personal wet dream pc.

  • hey wait,where did the monitor go?

  • the websites only under construction though

  • how much does each component cost?

  • It varies from diffrent brands and power of the peice. But most things excluding the motheboard, graphics card and RAM will be below $100 for a basic price. RAM can also be below $100 but that is pretty low quality RAM. Also im talking in australian figures.

  • Oh yea nice guide thanks man.

  • whats a optical drive?

  • Like a CD ROM or a DVD drive.

  • and now the advanced one which is the blu-ray drive (its a bit pricy at the moment tho)

  • Don't u also need a sound card?

  • its built-in the motherboard

  • oh,ty for answering.

  • ooh he's building an AMD

  • Damn, can't you have one long vid rather than a bajillion 20 sec vids.

    BTW: I know this stuff, but i wanted to know how he is representing it in a "easy" way. Too many people i know have had too many problems building machines, so i wanna see if tis any good. But the friggin 20 sec clips! It's annoying as hell.

    @policemofo I'd reccomend the 7900gt unless you really want dx10 (for crysis or somehting). 7900gt will get you more frames.

  • bo u can put stuff on here 10 minutes or less u didn't really have to shorten it just wanted u to know ^_^ great tut!

  • Is a 8500GT Better than a 7900GT for gaming?

  • it depends, if you want dx10 or just want to play games, i would go for the 7900 gt. because dx10 is very demanding in performance.. my 8800 gts struggles to play the new lost planet game at medium/high settings.

  • or for a similar price the 8600 gts, which is better :)

  • yes it is far superior my friend

  • forgot monitor ;)

  • LOOOOOOL!

  • i couldnt find the part 1.. i suppose that theres no need to have a first part, coz this one is extremely basic, i mean, what should explain the first part?? whats a computer?

    cya, nice tutorial :D

    many thx

  • there IS a part one dude

  • duhh..."1"-2... He's said he couldn't find it

    ~"i suppose that theres no need to have a first part"~

    Its a joke...
