Building a full computer really isn't that difficult. The only challenging part is making sure that all of your components are compatible with each other. Then it's just mounting them to your chassis (or motherboard, e.g. CPU, RAM, graphics card, etc.) and providing them with power via the power supply (PSU) if needed.

Components used in this build:

Chassis: NZXT H2
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Performance
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7 2600K (O.C. to 4.5GHz)
Memory (RAM): 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Graphics Card: XFX Radeon HD 6950 w/ 2GB GDDR5 (flashed to 6970)
Power Supply (PSU): 750W Thermaltake TRX-750M TR2
Optical Drive: Sony Optiarc 24x DVDRW SATA drive
Storage Device: 1TB Western Digital Caviar Green HDD
Operating System (OS): Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Multi-Channel Memory Technology:

Multi-channel architecture is a technology that increases the transfer speed of data between the RAM and the memory controller by adding more channels of communication between them. Theoretically this multiplies the data rate by exactly the number of channels present. Dual-channel memory employs two channels which theoretically doubles the data transfer rate. Higher-end chipsets like the Intel i7-9x series and various Xeon chipsets support triple-channel memory. Intel has released (2011) chipsets that support quad-channel memory.

  • @anto1122 Very simple; you can just apply it in a straight line going down the center of the CPU once it's been installed into the motherboard. Don't use too much, though. Thanks for the subscription and a happy new year to you as well :-)

  • Very Nice, but its actually recommended that if your doing a complete build that you install your ram and processor before you install them into the chassis

  • @1995billy You're right. I just thought that it might be easier to do it the way that I did for filming purposes.

  • Great vid, extremely helpful. I've seen on motherboards it says for example: 1333mhz, 1600mhz, 1866 (OC), ect

    If i get ram with 1866 how would i over clock to make it run with it?

  • @sidewaysfilmz You can get RAM clocked at 1866MHz and your board will take it just fine. That's basically saying that if you get 1600MHz RAM you can overclock it to 1866MHz (if, of course, your CPU supports it and your DIMMS can handle it). But if you get RAM clocked at 1800MHz the motherboard may drop the speed to 1600MHz if you don't overclock it to 1866MHz. Main thing - just get RAM with the speeds your motherboard can support (whether it says "OC" or not).

see all

  • @fluffydude56 lol of course it can...its a 1400 $ pc...

  • could this run bf3 or crisis on max settings

  • @buyfu Around $1,300USD but this was during the holiday season so almost everything was on sale. Currently it would probably cost $1,400 - $1,500.

  • Your video is nearly complete but you did not show the viewer how to install the cables from the case to the motherboard (such as power, reset, or usb). Although your video was quick, it wasn't thourough enough for a beginner to understand. I already know how to build a computer a few days ago. I learn it from newegg tutorial (building a computer). Anyway, good video though.

  • awesome tutorial mate, cheers!

  • Great video tutorial :D

  • Also, what are your methods on applying thermal paste?

  • Very clear and helpful, subscribed and happy new year.
