Hardware Canucks Guide to Building Your Own Personal Computer (PC)

[zeogravity20]

is that a corsair 800d? did they make a red version?

[morbidlyobesecatband]

By the way, I've recommended this video to lots of people on forums who were building computers.

[morbidlyobesecatband]

I was 13 when I built my first PC. It doesn't take too long to actually install components (installing Windows and drivers takes half of the total setup time). Heck, it took about 20 minutes to rebuild my entire system when I bought a new case.

[edytzuUndercover]

wow that heatsink is a fucking joke

[UrHideless]

Building my Pc took me an hour. Windows 7 1:30 hours

[HippehMac]

Hardest part of putting together a PC is the watercooling loop. Leak checks and bleeding sucks.

[mbaseballpro2]

Damn the amd asus mobo is ugly

[daigoji83]

cabling scares me

[sdm1234567890]

@daigoji83 its easy enough. the manual tells u it all.

[royalsego]

wow very informative, when its time to upgrade, i will get a new mobo/cpu

this is very helpful! thanks!

[Jeebs24]

Too bad there were no mentions on cable management.

[LordElfiian]

I really like this review. It is a lot more straightforward than many you can find on youtube.

[teamNERF2001]

If we use those exact pieces how much will it cost

[yamum9547]

Perfect video. Clear, simple and straight to the point, and very good quality :D

[blackboy454]

i usually put all the front header cables and power button, etc in immediately after the motherboard has been mounted in the case strictly because those small connections are harder to make with hard drives, expansion and graphics cards in place. this difficulty is substantially greater when working with a micro atx form factor build.

[christere94]

i hate the 10:20 ( christmas tree cables )  part i use every time a F*ucking manual for the christmas trees :/

[Hokrollo1]

Any tip about how to get the 24-pin out? I really hate that, I'm always killing my motherboard to get the shit out:(

[mario11168]

I think this is the only video that actually acknowledges the resistance when putting in the CPU.. You have no idea how scared I was I did something wrong when I put in my first one >.>

[Nefus1988]

5 People became so confused that they ended up buying a console! xD

[IXSH0CKW4VEIX]

can u do a video on bios setup

[TheMcMichael15]

What Video card is better for Gaming? Asus or Sapphire? Thanks.

[0peppers]

@TheMcMichael15 I'd say both of them are good. Personally I lean more towards Asus because I don't have any personal experience with Sapphire, but that shouldn't change your opinion. In any case try to get a video card with after market cooling. And make sure the card is dual slot as it helps for better cooling since it exhausts hot air out of the case and not inside. As for the brand I find the best way is to read reviews and consult gaming forums. Hope this helps. Good luck

[TheMcMichael15]

@0peppers Thank You very much for help.

[TheTemplai]

@TheMcMichael15 Your question doesn't make any sense at all dude.. -_-

[TheMcMichael15]

@TheTemplai I know i meanwhat engine but never mind i have now ATI Radeon.

[hlslayer123]

even though im not building a computer, this was fun to watch :D

[Poseidon500]

I've been taking my computers to be assembled by third parties for years. Yet, I've been installing my own video cards, drives, ect ect for a decade now.

I put my installed my first power supply two weeks ago.

Once you get rid of the doubt, building a pc is a very easy thing. The computer desk is a harder thing to assemble.

[sdm1234567890]

@Poseidon500 im 14 and i have built my computer in under a day.

[Poseidon500]

@sdm1234567890 Under a day? Dude, it can be done in an hour TOPS. I tore mine down last week to install some new fans, and put it back together in less than half an hour. I took the motherboard out and everything. It takes longer to load the OS than it does to put the machine together most of the time.

[sdm1234567890]

@sdm1234567890 dat is with all os and drivers installed i should have said made instead of built

[snk9045]

@sdm1234567890 I was 13 and i built it under 6 hours. 1 hour of asembly and 5 hours about windows7

[sdm1234567890]

@snk9045 OMG.

[91splash]

Canadians do it the best ;)

[farisjoomun]

@91splash you mean linus do you?

[91splash]

@farisjoomun canucks are canadian too

yeah linus is canadian and is great too

even pcwizkid

[farisjoomun]

@91splash i prefer canucks and linus, but pcwizkid is boring he sounds like a robot lool

[91splash]

@farisjoomun pcwizkid is good, check out his guide to building a pc!

[BustedController]

I should totally clean out my PC and fix my cable management but I know I'll only get frustrated lol

[BassPounderX]

wait wont adding after market thermal paste be stufip unless u remove the stock stuff duh

[Jojia84]

A very nice tutorial video for building your own pc! Ofcourse there are others out there but most of them aren't as nice looking as this one! I do wish you'd have gone over the last part of cabling with all of the pwr rst led hdd usb and so on. It can be a bit of a mess. Other then that it was a great vid, thanks alot! this will be my new tip for anyone who needs a tutorial for this.

[BrewersPackers]

This video deserves more than 3700 views!

[zn74]

I was going to build an amd platform pc, but seing how the new bulldozer is near I'm just going to wait. Right now i'm just gonna buy the 6950 and wait for the other parts to be released. Hopefully they live up to the hype, because I know how AMD overhyped the 69xx series of video cards, also delayed the realease date and at the end of the day didn't compare to nvidia's line up.

[MaximumMT]

Great video. Quick, to the point, all the necessary information.

[brokenornamentsjaby]

Ummmm as for the clipping down a cpu cooler in a X pattern... Nice video otherwise

[knewingsed]

this is great! thank you!!

[2at8er]

Nice video.

[3Z3K13L08]

I'm getting my partner to save for a PC because she loves using mine so much (she's coming from a crappy pre-built). I'm talking her into building it herself and I'll definitely show here this videos, it's great for modern day PC's, and made by professionals too!

Thank you, thank you!

[Motawa10]

nice vid ! wish to see a unlocked x3 450 from amd ? So turn to my channel ! Greetings Mo

[SandmanGodslayer]

Excellent video and explanation. I hope to relesea a video explainig for a advance hardware like a watercooling system. Greetings from Mexico :).

[BellTollsForThee]

Who else knows how to build a PC, but just watching cuz they like Canucks?

[absolutehellos]

6:08 This process can be a pain in the... (fast forward)

LOL

[shaban96]

you sound just like chilla frilla, are u the same guy? right

[jacobmcr858]

@shaban96 WTFFFF, I JUST NOTICED THAT!!!

[Rldm1012]

@BellTollsForThee Me... :D apart from his money :D

[snoopythegorila]

i dont like how the straight black 800D's look like but if they offered this color, i would definitely buy one.

[adamjamesroe]

How did you get the AMD heatsink on so easily, i built a AMD system for my mate which has the stock cooler withit, and it required so much force and about 30 mins of fafing to get it on?

[achojj]

@adamjamesroe It shouldn't be that difficult. Mine went on just like in the video.

[OGRMaster]

Oh crap i didnt ground my self when building a pc.

[Nefus1988]

3 people prefer to watch expert village videos

[ZNMarc]

1:21 of course, thats the way how to put a CPU on a table :)

[armgo]

Nice and clean just how I like it

[nickwarr182]

Did you install the cooler with 2 types of thermal paste applied? Or was it just a camera trick with 2 different coolers?

[dolph123454321]

Stock cooler on a Maximus 3 Formula? I bet everyone who buy such a board will overclock.

[Enfeeblement]

This is so easy.

[Fuckingenius]

Nicely done!

[BOOMbarash5000]

+1. Installing the I/O shield is really pain in the ASS

[Rogy56]

For TIM installation: Roughly BB size maybe less...

[GeorgeDS94]

i thought you where giving away this system? you fucking piece of shit.

[currymuncher2008]

@GeorgeDS94 Poor fuck, You buy your own!

[Rldm1012]

@GeorgeDS94 Yeah, is rich now... He loves giving away things to people who don't like to go to work or something... The people who needs things like this don't even know what is internet !!!!

[GeorgeDS94]

@Rldm1012 wow your english is really good....not. fucking retard learn some proper english dumbass.

[Rldm1012]

@GeorgeDS94 Oh, yeah? And I bet you cant talk portuguese, mindless pos! Grow up... That was not the point, or was it? -.- jeeeezzz why people act like this?! -.- damn

ps: I dont use google translator :D

[GeorgeDS94]

@Rldm1012 why would i speak the language of a inferior country?

[Rldm1012]

@GeorgeDS94 LOL no comments -.- vai-te foder e aprende a ser alguém, otário

[mindharvester]

what an ugly pc case

[polzer12345]

best building guide video ive seen so far

[FudgePoly]

Very clean, well done video! These "build your own PC" videos have been coming up from several channels lately, and they're nice, but I like your presentation best.

[Lerppu86]

However, one thing was forgotten. It would have been helpful to tell the fans installation

[Lerppu86]

Nice. you keep things simple and easy to understand. Thumbs up

[DarthTirith]

I understand how people need help for building PC. It's like a lego set, the only tricky part would be fixing a few of the mobo wires, but it's fully explained in your mobo manual. Oh well, cool video anyways.

[strandwolf]

Yay!

[DrummerDudeNZ]

Why have you got a rad in the top

[CheckExplicit]

@DrummerDudeNZ Haven't watched the whole video yet, but im 90% sure this is an old video they filmed, because that looks like the computer they gave away during the Christmas contest, which came with a watercooling loop. Looks like they filmed this while building it.

[NEVAstopGAMER]

lol at the io shield... i had such a hassle with mine on my last build...

[redbaaron123]

Loved it, you shold do a cable management tutorial

[BrewersPackers]

See, this is an awesome video. A DIY tutorial for both seasoned and newcomer PC builders.

Thank you for doing this!

[crazyredneckwifknife]

Why does it have a rad yet stock Intel heat sink lols

[Mortald126]

very good ;)

[hlslayer123]

I'm not even building a computer (I want to eventually) and this was entertaining to watch for a tech geek like me :D

[1Ali380]

Cool video, but you forgot to install the 'sound card' (SupremeFX X-Fi)

[Zillerz3]

Woot I made my comp myself :)

I screwed up with the CPU choice

then upgrade to 9800GTX+

which then stepped-up to GTX470

which then gave me a HUGE bottleneck

[currymuncher2008]

@Zillerz3 What CPU did you have?

[Zillerz3]

@currymuncher2008 AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (my dad forced me to be on a budget so basically I had no choice but to get a crappy cheap amd cpu

I was thinking of getting a motherboard upgrade (EVGA motherboard) and the 2600K (or something better for cheap if anything new comes out)

[Ti133700N]

EXCELLENT installation guide ! I've been building computers for years now so I haven't learned anything new, but for people who just bought their first system, I think it's the perfect guide. You can't explain better than that in less than 11 minutes. Great idea to advise people to consult their motherboard's manual for additional details, especially for the connexions from the case to the motherboard. Also, check your manual to know in which slot you should insert your memory modules.

[fefgam]

Man i have been waiting for a vid like this for years!!!

[HDaviator]

@fefgam

Then you haven't looked far have you? There are hundreds of videos on youtube about this.

[Rldm1012]

@HDaviator yes, there are, but that doesn't mean they're good videos...

[fefgam]

@HDaviator lol..... yes and no, couse i never found one with this quality.

[INurHome]

@HDaviator

Yes, but not enough of them have good Canadian lads in them.

[hanukun]

if you do it on carpet make sure one hand is on the metal part of the case at all times

[frenzetics]

i could have use this like amoth ago , still good video !

but really the hardest part is that header and shit wiring , could have gone more in depth on that part ? i mean all the other parts are kind of intuitive.

[AgentHydra]

omg finally, please make more videos, they are like crack

[jakers11]

such a nice case

[youedddd]

@scottycatman why did the world need to know that?

[scottycatman]

@youedddd

Because my eyes hurt due to the high methane content of the air right now.

[MORDEKAIZ]

@scottycatman lol

[HardwareCanucks]

Our apologies to the commenters of the previous upload of this video. We accidentally uploaded a problematic version (who names a problem file the exact same as the final with a dash at the end and puts in the the same folder... seriously.. oh wait) and had to delete it. We hope you will leave your feedback again! Enjoy!

[brechan69]

@HardwareCanucks

I find it odd that you've connected a stock cooler to the CPU, yet there is clearly a 360 radiator in the top of the case...why?

[youedddd]

first and awesome vid
