How to build a computer with Carey Holzman. Part 1

[Daniel012345678912]

i wish you didnt delete this how to build a computer video becouse i loved it.... :)

[nate353]

love all your video's. Do you still have your video of replacing and cloning a HDD. your video is the easiest to follow on YouTube.

[Rentie]

Carey, loved this video gave me the confidence to finally put one together from scratch, although I'd done nearly everything 'cept install a MOBO and processor. Did about the same as your vid 'cept an AMD (Gigabyte) MOBO and an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor. It's been over a year now and it's still running smooth as silk. Think you should've left the rest of them up though. Doesn't matter to me as I downloaded them all and have them on a hard drive. Now I'm going to eyeball your gaming 'puter.

[iwontkou2]

I built a pc for the total of $900 and sold it to à friend for $1300 à pretty good deal ;P

[MatchCard]

I'm commenting on your video... from the computer you helped me build :D

[RealBarca17]

where;s part 2 ???

[CareyHolzman]

@RealBarca17 This video was replaced as it says in the beginning - please see my other videos.

[HomiesOfMars]

4:37 "Enter your text here." lol

[Zsmart]

This is why I love youtube.

[blaze4155rules]

[StonerEyes420]

Thanks man, i watched your video when my Gaming Rig was on her way shipped to my house, the next day i did it perfect from the help of your video thanks man!!!

[mitchnorton2]

Mexican Coke is better than American Coke. I thought you were talking about drugs for a second there.

[pptx100]

coke in a glass bottle always tastes better than plastic or a can

[nformby]

Thank you so much sir! Awesome video, very helpful!

[pogingkaliwete]

your video is good but the music background is loud not really clear audio

[DeathEcho7]

Great videos. I look forward to building my first computer

[Teempla]

Man, you should have your own TV show!

I enjoy watching these. Oh and, I'm soon going to first time build my computer, so these videos will be helpful.

[CareyHolzman]

@Teempla Start a Facebook fan page and see if we can get some attention from the big guys up above who call all the shots! What do ya say?!

[Teempla]

@CareyHolzman Haha! Sounds like a lot of work.

By the way, I got my new PC working. 1st boot up and everything worked like a dream. The only problems I had were because my hands were shaky. Had to hold on to the CPU with two hands and barely got it there. :)

[Byuakuya]

Thank you for the videos. They're very informative.

[Cr4zYH3aD]

I'm always afraid of frying something

[CareyHolzman]

@Cr4zYH3aD Knowledge is the fear-killer.

[MrRyanseegobin]

@CareyHolzman very true

[darkthunder305]

@Cr4zYH3aD

You can use a anti-static wristband 5 bucks at radio shack

[quietmoviewatcher123]

Just wanted to give my thanks, I've been wanting to build my own computer and now it's actually happened! Keep up the good work.

[Col2v14]

Much appreciated. However, the music is too loud and the intro is a bit too long. Thats my advice for future videos. Peace and God bless.

[liltrekkie]

How much did this cost in total?

[CareyHolzman]

@liltrekkie All answered at the end of the series, part 10.

[Raiden1091]

I like your sense of humor. Makes it way less boring who knows nothing of computers.

[rabbid5666]

Thumps up for the dog :D

[Sl1f3rDrag0n]

good info and i like your technique,

lol 'enter your text here'

[larlar752000]

Dude you are cool I already knew how to build a computer but I just like checking out videos because I still learn different things.

[SnowFox226]

is that 80's music i hear? Early 90's? :DDD

[P3RuLeS]

Mexican coke FTW!!!

[XxPouringRedRainxX]

xD Built a computer for the total cost of 3700sek and sold it to a friend for 5500sek.

Thanks alot for the tutorials.

[killernanny4315]

@XxPouringRedRainxX whats "sek"? i know its obviously some sort of currency but idk what it is lol

[ksidornseif]

Thanks to your videos, I built a $600 Budget pc, that can run Crysis on pretty good settings :)

[marvin90044]

"We got the instruction manual."

"We don't need that"

*Slap on ground*

[JacobDillonEvans]

Thats a big house dog. I dont know if you noticed or not ,but that dog is back there.

[CareyHolzman]

@JacobDillonEvans That's my little dog. The big one is camera shy!

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

One of the best videos on youtube on how to make a custom pc. Clear picture quality as well

[Jfrosth]

"We got the instruction manual... *clack* We don't need that."

[Darkology123]

...you kinda look like Rambo...

Thanks for the tutorials! :D

[ownedufoo2]

This video was so good all of my fears for building for the first time are gone now! I also subscribed, thanks a lot Carey Holzman :) Btw: Have you ever worked with the HAF 922 case or the Antec 900? Which do you think is better if you have, thanks.

[ehab007bob]

wow i get the same computer except the case

[RBproductions10]

as if, this is extactly! the same set up i want to build :D

[MrRestricted868]

Hey, thank you so much for the best tutorial, I always wanted to build my computer and today I have finished building my gaming computer. Thanks Carey, your the best!

[ViEtxHuE2]

you the best!!! Thank you



[YourGamerzUpdate]

This is a little odd for me... My first built computer mobo had a DVI port on it similar to yours... But I am currently building another one that does not have an integrated video card... I am wondering if it will still boot properly if I plug my monitor into a ATI Radeon video card (PCI-e)?

[YourGamerzUpdate]

@CareyHolzman Check the RAM too... In my experience those to beeps means BIOS can't load... And RAM as been the only problem for me...

[CareyHolzman]

@ViEtxHuE2 Sounds like you should reinstall Windows.

[RaqeTube]

0:06 Behind the cola i saw something moving, I thought the computer become alive XO

[buttpoop3]

Thanks for the video, you're a great guy to make it!

[swlrocks]

i just bought this motherboard MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD, i cant wait to start with my first build

[mistryman3893]

are you going to do a new computer building video with newer parts. i7 for example?

[CareyHolzman]

@mistryman3893 Why? The build process is exactly the same...

[mistryman3893]

@CareyHolzman sorry im not rele that uptodate with computer making, i thought that it would be different in some ways

[iCarcharis]

Hey man! This is the best computerbuild

vid in Utube. But I am going to change my computercase to a big tower and then I first have ti dissamble it. Do U think U can make s video on how to dissamble it the best and easiest way? :-)

[CareyHolzman]

@iCarcharis Thank you! Posting videos now similar to what you are requesting. Hope you enjoy them!

[Zermix]

Haha, I really like this, and the way you unboxed the motherboard was quite funny ^^ staring into the camera and WOO there goes the box blabla, i lold xd

[sambitkhuas]

this is a really helpful piece of effort for those who are novice in assembling a pc...good job..

[CorneliusGrim]

I like the music!

[heavyrazor95]

How can they watch this who have never owned an computer before??

Maybe ipod?

[CareyHolzman]

@heavyrazor95 Anyone who has NEVER owned a computer should be foolish enough to try to build one. How would they understand the concepts without first understand the basics of a how computer works? That would be foolhardy at best.

[nicehaitao]

hey guys i order computer components for a new gaming computer. I am using this for small gaming games. Here are the specs

COOLER MASTER Elite RC-310-OWR460 Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case RS-460-PSAR-J3, Elite 460W Power Supply

AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor 2.9GHz

CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2

ASUS 24x SATA

Seagate Barracuda 750Gb

ASUS M4A785-M Mother Board

it has on board video that is Radeon HD 4200

please give me some tips this is my first built.

[vick5987]

Hey guys !!! I'm trying to build me a standerd pc just for web browsing and downloading lots of music !! So what components should I use ,, give me the whole 9 yards motherboared,cpu,hard drive,memory,power supply,optical drive and if I should get a graf card but I all so want at least 4-6 ok ????? Just send me a message plyzzz thanks guys

[HyperArrow]

gonna make a custom from scratch and i was wondering if these specs/parts are good.

-ultra x4 750 watt PSU

-EVGA geforce 9800 GT 1gb

-nforce 750i sli extreme

-intel core 2 duo e8400

feed back would be nice..

[EnforcedProductions]

-EVGA Ati Radeon 5770 or 5850

-AMD Phenom II 965 (3.4ghz)

Change those up, intel suckes my dick and geforce cares about money to much and overpric everything. the 9800 isent expensive but the 5770 is a better card for around 20 bucks more

[HyperArrow]

holy shit just found this and omg man fucking rapes intel. they fuckin hide the shit

[RobV5]

@HyperArrow

I think you should try and look into the new i3 and i5 intel processors. Also see if you like ATI cards, the performance to price ratio is pretty good. Good luck with your system.

[Rentie]

Received the mobo, CPU, sata hd, DVD writer and already had the case & power supply. Everything went smooth as silk. Too smooth in fact. I'm still waiting for my Win 7 to arrive so I installed a copy of WinXP Service Pack 2 to fool around with. Was getting the BSOD and wouldn't work with the HD. Turns out with XP I had to go into the bios and change from achi back to ide even though I was running a sata drive. Well, there's more to it than that, but Win 7 woulda been too easy! Thanks!

[Rentie]

Great video, Carey. Think it gave me the impetus to finally put together my own. After looking at cases for a long time I eyeballed the 341 Elite and yeah I got it at a good price. I looked at power supplies and came to the conclusion that the thermal take 420 watter was my best bet went back and saw that's what you were using. It's gonna be an AMD (Gigabyte) mobo and CPU though. An AMD X4 965 BlackBox 3.4 GHz quad-core dealie. Still checking will decide within a week.

[stupidmonkey121]

:D i have the same case in a few days ill have my pc done

[R1Y4DH]

hey do you have to use the case that you selected or can i use a different one? if so, can you please tell me some that i could use now? thanx! and great video man! :)

[CareyHolzman]

Use any case you like...

[B3astmodee]

Thanks for the video you explain it all

[dahspur]

I found your video very helpful. This is my first build. I was able to take the right side off of the case exactly like you showed, but the left side is stuck and will not come off. I have the same box. I tried prying with a screwdriver but am afraid I will end up denting the side. Do you have any miracle solutions!

[Rentie]

Yeah, the right side (looking from the front -- in the video Carey was taking them off from the back) ain't coming off! I thought it was poor quality control and the dealies that slide into the slots were jammed. Looking at the inside of the case from the opened side halfway up the case in the middle, near the front, there's a screw that's holding the other side on! That must have been added to the case since Carey made his video. You probably have seen this by now, right?

[humbert0acevedo]

LOL giving lots of pleasures, I know what you mean by that. Anyways good video.

[Gazka117]

Cheers the video, I've just built my first ever PC (mainly for gaming) and whilst I chose mostly different parts to yours your video was good for a guide as such.

[chiboribo]

I laughed when you just threw the stuff off the counter.

[DV8168]

Where did you get your ram for 42 dollars. Thats what i thought you said. The other question I have for you is, is it really cheaper to build your own computer. It seams like more by the time you install the operating system. Where can you get the cheapest OS at. How do you install the Operating system after you build the computer. I think you just put the cd in and go from there. After you install that, isnt there a motherboard cd you have to put it.? Thanks for your time. Really good video....

[CareyHolzman]

One of the first things I say in the video is the date the video was made and why the date is important regarding the parts I selected and the prices I paid.

[paradoxGFX]

Download Ubuntu? It's free.

[VxGhostz]

epic vid, this is so helpfull. 5 starts... apart from the music lol

[corkt04]

thnkyou enuff im only 16 and this is perfect you truly r an awsum guy!

[corkt04]

Ok i have to say you are an awsum guy u have made one of the best youtube tutorials i have ever seen i was thinkin of a project for 2010 and i thort y not bulid a computer and then i watched your video and thort WOW you explain everything so clearly and the video quality is great i wud pay for these videos also the fact that you have practically put your trade on here that is ballsy cuz ne randomer cud decide oh yeah ill do this thankyou so much 4 this guide you r an awsum person and i cnt

[RobV5]

I used the same parts except I got 4GB from corsair and added an ATI Radeon 5770. My only gripes about the motherboard is that it's not a good overclocking MB. 3.4GHz is the highest I can go without the motherboard shutting off the network adapter. Other than this minor issue It's a great build for a budget system so I'm satisfied.

[CareyHolzman]

Right., that's why IN THIE VIDEO, I say it's not a preferred motherboard for overclockers.

[doerner063093]

hey.. hwere did you get the ram for under 50 bucks... i can only find that one for 90$

[CareyHolzman]

This video was made last year and the prices reflect that, as I mentioned in the very beginning.

[doerner063093]

oic now... wel maybe you can direct to another good priced 2x2gb ddr2 800 set.??

[CareyHolzman]

I always purchase all my parts at NewEgg

[doerner063093]

nice videos.. the music is really bugging me though

[lolomgdude]

After everything is put together inside the tower, is the first step to install the OS and then all the drivers? The BIOS comes preloaded right?

[CareyHolzman]

Yes

[kyleking162]

could this system run todays modern games

[CareyHolzman]

With the right video card added, yes. Without a problem.

[allypksm]

nice dog =]]

[CareyHolzman]

That's Jake! Thanks for notcing. :)

[VxGhostz]

when you build a computer and turn it on, will it instal all of the drivers automatically?

[CareyHolzman]

No. If you install Windows 7 it may install many of them but if you install Vista or XP you'll more than likely have to download and install the drivers yourself.

[boxx88sambo]

Wery nice guide :) bat i whude like to ask u something, does this computer woork with wireless conection internet?

[CareyHolzman]

Sure, you can add a PCI or USB wireless adapter to this computer if you choose to...

[VxGhostz]

cheers, wasn't to sure. hopefully getting the HAF 932 =] cant wait

[JJ7x6Studios]

This works with my Office computer named Microblox 2000 with windows 7!

[basicirthyguy]

Dude your tutorials rock. I just finished my first build... i7 on a gigabyte ud5 with a noctua heat sink and 12 gigs of ram. I was able to do most of the build with just your tutorials. consulted the manual on all the little connectors, and watched another good tutorial on installing the heat sink. I'm surprised that some tech website hasn't snatched you up for doing tutorials. You're really good at it.

[CareyHolzman]

@basicirthyguy Hoping for a special series on DIY TV, but heck, I'll take whatever I can get, So spread the word and the link for me so one day I can drink tiger blood and have an adonis-Dna ! Whatch out Hollywood! You don't wnat to unleash this beast! :)

[TheZombiePanda]

This tutorial seems a lot better than other ones so I'm gonna gradually watch it bit by bit and when I get my parts, I'll watch it again. :)

[Peacefulthinking]

Very helpful video. This goes along very well with the how-to books I am reading. Thanks!!

The only problem is the music is loud enough to be distracting... hard to focus on the instruction when it's something new even without distracting music. If you decide to do more videos, I'd recommend turning the music down (or eliminating it). Thanks, again!

[yoto5951]

hi im getting my new cpu, box, and motherboard tomorrow, and im using my old harddrive dvd drive and my graphic card. from my old pc "packard bell imedia 1539" i got a revoery cd with it. can i use this cd for xp instalation on my new pc i will build ???

[doomacon]

no you cant. it well expire in 30 or so days.

[iixxIVIONST4Htruck]

The max for 32-bit is 4GB of RAM does that mean 4GB per slot or all together.

[CareyHolzman]

4gb is the maximum amount of RAM that can be handled by a 32bit operating system.

[iixxIVIONST4Htruck]

okay thanks

[undermybedis]

4gb all together

[uggmull]

Carey, i just want to say that your videos are the best on you-tube for people new to building computers.

I'm going to keep recommend them for friends for some time.

[KforKool]

thanks alot

very useful

[newegg]

nice! thanks for posting Carey :)

[consumev]

looks very professional and im going to be using these videos tomorrow!

[jace897]

dude were did u buy your parts?

[babyfaceassassin21]

hope u did it with someone to help you. its clear but it would be clearer if you have someone to do the video.

[xxscope004xx]

awsome

[PsalmLove]

ditto about the music, quiet is best :)

but i really like the attitude you present this vid at, funny, but not smarmy. 5 stars

[winterpiano0912]

Love your tutorial , very detailed instruction, Thank alots

[babyfaceassassin21]

thanks!!! very informative and easy to learn. now watching part two

[neoyyz]

Thanks Carey.

Tech Fan from Toronto Canada

Jack

[CareyHolzman]

my bad. Thanks for letting me know its better now.

[Rickyjunior12]

Hey carey i want to know somethin...i have a hard drive in my computer now...im planing doing a gaming computer with that hard drive when ill put the hard drive on my gaming computer do ill need to instal something like windows xp or other programs

[uggmull]

When moving a hard driver that has an OS from one computer to another you do need to reinstall the OS so that everything works.

(This is due to motherboard drivers.)

[CareyHolzman]

Music levels have been lowered in future episodes. Thanks for the feedback!

[tardisious]

Much better now, Thanks

[mikeye1984]

great,man! thank you.

[tardisious]

great fun Carrey But the music is a bit loud and distracting. At least in my headphones

[wmcdaniel2002]

I agree..great stuff but the music is too loud and distracting
