Calling all gamers! It's time for Paul's Top Ten Tips for building a Gaming PC. Maybe you're a first-time builder looking for some advice, or maybe you're just brushing up on your skills -- either way, here's some suggestions to keep your gaming rig build on the right track.

We're also happy to finally have a test bed that we'll be using for future benchmarks and reviews, and the first piece of hardware we're "testing" is the Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition CPU! Stay tuned later this week for our follow-up video with the benchmarking results.

@antoniohrv Sounds lame, but he's right. That's the reason so many people make a lot of unnecessary mistakes and risk ruining their hardware.

Oh god, built my first gaming pc a few days ago and now I realize after watching this video that I didn't put in the standoff.

For now I'm just happy my motherboard hasn't shorted yet, hope to get the standoffs in asap, although its gonna be a REAL pain to take out the gpu and unroute quite a few of the cables which I spent quite a bit of time on to sort out correctly.
