 So some of you may or may not remember, but I used to work for a children's foundation. So one of those kids actually reached out to me recently and said, hey, Chris, I know you're actually pretty decent with computers. Can you help me get a gaming PC? So I asked him what his budget was, his budget is $300. Now, in case you don't know, $300 for a brand new computer or for brand new parts is not going to get you that much. And I know that this kid wants to play games, I believe as difficult as Witcher three, which are fairly difficult to run on a system. So I started to think, how can I help this kid out, but also come up with an experience that's fun for you as well as me to watch. Oh man, this kid's gonna hate me when we're done. The sponsor of today's video is Skillshare and there is a reason I wanted to work with them specifically. When I was younger, I used to go online and try to find tutorials of things that I was interested in that I wanted to learn. Now back then there wasn't a ton of information available and it was kind of easy to figure out what was a good resource and what was not a good resource. Unfortunately now there are so many self-proclaimed masters that finding a decent tutorial is actually really difficult. Two weeks ago I actually watched a 40 minute video in an attempt to learn a new editing technique for a video and I found out that it actually did not apply to me at all because they skipped about five crucial steps that I needed in order to make the effect work which is why I am recommending Skillshare and part of the reason I'm vouching for them specifically is because they actually had the tutorial that I needed and it was actually in less than 40 minutes of my time. So if you go to the website you'll see they have a very simple design that shows you how you can find the class you are looking for depending on what you're interested in. For me, I would go to photo and film and right off the bat you can see how many students are enrolled in which specific classes which kind of gives you a good indicator of which classes will have better information. Skillshare is super affordable it only costs less than $10 a month for a subscription and if you use the link in the description you will get a two month free trial. I highly recommend you check it out. Tutorials have completely changed my life and allowed me to build literally everything I have behind me in front of me and etc. So please click the link in the description. You watching youtube videos? Yeah. Well you're supposed to be focused get your ass in here. All right the hell is your name? My name is Kuro Kimoto. Anything else? I play tennis. Oh my god get the hell inside. All right so here's the deal. What did you come here for today? I wanted to build a computer. You wanted to build a computer? Yes. You just wanted a computer? I want both. You want both. Okay so you want to build a computer and you also want a computer. How much is the computer going to cost you today? $300. $300? Yes. You got that much money? Yes. I worked really hard. Oh yeah I wash windows too. I play tennis and wash windows. Do me a favor. Take off the rag or blanket or whatever. What if I knock over something? Okay put your arms farther and very carefully lift it off. Okay. Whoa. All right here's the deal. You have a choice. If you were to take home one of these which one do you want? Which one's better? Just take a look at which one do you like better? I like this one more. You like the white one? Because you can see everything in there. Oh that's unfortunate. This one's a little bit stronger. Now they're approximately equal. So here's the deal. I'm going to make you a deal. Okay you ready? Here's the deal. If crew can put together either of these computers in less than three hours I'll give it to him for free and he gets a little surprised. But if you can't put it back together after I disassemble it I'm yoinking your money. Okay but I still get it right? Yeah you still get it but I'm yoinking either way. So here's the reason we're doing this. Crew's story from the little I know he's the type of nerd that will buy something put it back together and that's how he has fun. I believe he did that with the engine? Yeah. You bought a motor? Yeah it was just a small one. Okay he's dropping numbers on us. Okay well that's the deal. So what we're going to do now is I'm going to start disassembling the computer of his choice and then we're going to start letting him observe what we're doing and if you can put it back together it's his. Wow. Do I get any help? We'll see. And this is where you pay very close attention. All right you know what I would say this is fairly disassembled. I'll tell you what I'll do two more things here. We'll make this a little bit harder. That's the RAM. Smart boy. You tell you what for the sake of being somewhat nice to you I'll leave the cooler and the processor in there. I'll be a nice guy. I probably broke the processor. I 100% believe you would have. So that's about everything. Got the case, graphics card, power supply, RAM, your SSD, cooler, processor motherboard, rest of the case. So yeah that's about it. So here's the deal. Three hours again if you get it done you get it for free and maybe a little surprise. Your time starts now. Okay okay so I believe I would put the the power supply in first because that makes sense. It's the power. It's the C2 creation so we're gonna put all that good stuff in right now right here. All right crew you are 21 seconds in. 21 seconds in. And I am completely lost. You're lost already? No just messing around boy. Okay well that looks good. I'm sorry what you said what looks good. It's not good. It's not ready yet but it looks good. What? That that looks good. Just wait. Just wait. One freaking second bro. So um taking that whole power supply. I think this is it. Okay you got kind of a brain. Okay so we're gonna put it up to that. I'm shaking profusely right now because I want this computer and I gotta do good. God if you were there please help me. Is it upside down or something? No. Stop. It's in my best interest. Okay well this doesn't make sense then because there's there's more screws that go to this thing. That's true and we got a bunch of screws here on the table. Hopefully you can make the right decision on which one you pick. Okay okay wait wait I know what I'm doing. Don't worry. I hope you know if you put the wrong screw in the wrong spot it can actually do some serious damage. I don't think that's how it works. Maybe for the motherboard. Smart kid. All right kid where you at? I'm putting the cords in here. You're putting what? Cords. Power supply cords. Cords? There's another word for them I'm sure but I don't. What the hell is the cords gonna power? They're gonna power. I don't see shit in this computer. What are the cords gonna power? Okay then I'm gonna put the what do you call it in? Nothing's gonna happen. Oh so these things are here which tell me that they need to face this way. Oh okay smart one. Wait static. Touching me doesn't get rid of your static. Yeah it does. It transfers like when you shock somebody. It goes in this way. This is like operation. You gotta be careful here. Can I get buzzed? You put it in wrong. Stop I'm not gonna get buzzed. Oh man you sure about this? Positive. Okay. See they're supposed to go on those. How much have you screwed down? One, two, three. I'll give you a little hint. One, two. When it comes to building computers. Four. You don't need to screw down everything on the motherboard. Okay that's snapped in on that side. Snap in on this side now. You know it has to snap on both sides? Yeah. How did you know that? I watched your video. I'm sorry what did you just say? No. No go ahead repeat that repeat that. Watched your video bro. Wait you watched my video? I watched all your videos. I learned from you Chris. You were the father. Okay. Now I must do something. We'll put in this thing now. GPU. Okay. Yeah we just gotta figure out where which way it's supposed to go in. So if I had this set up. Well uh since you just admitted to watching my videos maybe you hit go last. Never mind then. Yeah I just remembered uh just go backwards. I mean not backwards last. Last. Got it. Okay um well I got this theme but I don't know if I need to do that yet. Okay we'll do that now then. At this point anything other than the graphics card would be fine. Okay cool. Wow thanks Chris. You're an angel. Yeah I know. You're trying to put the SSD and make it do what? Put it in. So you want to make you you're trying to make a bracket sandwich. Am I not supposed to do that? Let's see. Okay no it goes like this and then you put it on like this. I don't remember how you put it in okay. Oh. Okay. Okay. You're missing a step. How's that going to stay connected? It's not that's the thing. Do I need to plug in the cord? How how is that going to stay connected to uh. So oh. Oh. Oh my god. Yeah. Wait you're a genius. I know. Oh it's like you're using your hands almost like a tool. I'm totally going to do this. Oh it sounds like we had a tool for this. I'm totally going to finish this computer. Wow. It's going to run I know it. Big boy. I am the big boy. Uh out of the case. I was supposed to go that way this. Not going to say no. Well you wouldn't want it this way because how would the glass go or whatever back oh yeah this is where the glass would go. It sounds like you just answered your question. Or can I go like that? Or do you remove it from the bracket and turn the whole black bit around? Oh yeah. One big step at a time and you only have two hours for you. This is going to be so I'm going to get this down dude. You're going to be so surprised. I'm trying to connect the cords. The cords. Which cords? Um this one. I don't know the names of them. Oh and this one. You definitely need to connect some cords. I don't think all of them go through here though. Some of them separate out. I don't know what to do with oh no I know what to do with these. Let's see. So you have. I don't even know if this is right. So you have to say to Kata from the motherboard into the SSD. Yes. All right so you have one of two cables I need to go to there. So what's next on the agenda? What you doing now? I'm adjusting the GPU wires so that when it goes up it's all the wires aren't just laying here. Okay you plugged in some other stuff down here too. What were we looking at? It was this thing and this thing. Okay. I just saw the little patterns on them and I just plugged them in. Yeah it's definitely good to play the shapeshapes. Do you know what those two things do? Um HD audio and I don't know if this one's upside down. Okay yeah you're right one one's the audio the other one's for USB 2.0. So is it okay if it's upside down like that? Is that considered upside down if I can't see the words or where there are no words on this one? That's pretty close to getting it working. So for the sake of uh making this interesting we're gonna cut your time down to two hours. What? You suck. All right so you've got an hour and five minutes left. He's scared. And uh yeah we're gonna see how far you can go. I'm trying to work. Can you please get out my workspace? All right. I think this is the... Wait wait what? HDD LED. This one? What is that? This? I didn't I switched it. You used to go there but now it's there. How can you got this cable running all the way across Africa? What is going on there? I don't know where to put it. Really you don't know where to put it. You can't find another pin that matches? There's another pin? There's no. There wasn't a two pin. This is a three pin. This is three. It's not gonna fit anywhere else. So first of all what are you holding? Do you even know what that is? This is your uh you know your good old... Hold that up. TKO. TKG. 2510. Do you know what that that powers? The fan. Okay you don't see anything else on the motherboard that accepts fans. I would think it's nearby. Fan! This one! Oh! Fan! I'm so good at this. Well it looks like you got the front panel connections here and uh... What about those? What about those? Yeah those are the front panel connections. I'll be honest uh crew all of those are in the wrong spot. Every single one you actually didn't put a single one in the right spot and you were about to put in the graphics card. You thought you were ready for the... Do you think you're ready for the graphics card? I'm humiliated already okay? So just these ones these ones are all put in wrong. Let's see move your finger out the way we would. Now point again which one? These ones. Those three. Oh yeah not a single one of those in the right spot. I'll give you a hint. Wait, wait, wait, wait. USB. These are USB's. Okay no listen I'll give you a hint. Tell you what. I am a nice guy okay? I'm an exceptionally generous person. Wonderful human being. Should be nominated for a Nobel Prize of some sort. Anyways I will pull up the manual for the motherboard. I'll give it to you. I won't give you the right page I'll just give you the manual and that's as much as you're allowed to work with. Okay I can do that. Here we have the MSI 970A G43 as you can see here that is the same motherboard. Same motherboard as the manual I currently have here in my hand. Now I'm going to warn you this is an 80 page manual but the answer is in here. You need the front panel connectors. Front panel connectors. Are they known as anything else? Nope good luck. So he's got less than an hour left. It's his first time going through a motherboard manual. Serial port connectors. I don't think he's gonna make it. I think he screwed. Do you think you're screwed? No. You don't think you're screwed really? You don't think you're screwed? You think you're gonna make it? Yes. I think I did it. You think what? I think I did it. If you think you did it where's the confidence? Did you do it or did you not do it? I did it. I did it. Just look. Just look please. You're JFP1 and then I did all the connection to you. I mean you're getting closer but no that's not it. If you turned it on right now it wouldn't turn on. What? What? Closer in only you know six minutes of time. LED. It looks like it could be correct. It's the in the JFP1. Hey man. Okay I'm doing that. That's that's right I know it's right. I'm putting this in now. Why don't they do it where the fan where people can see the fan? Wouldn't that be cooler? Wait is that the wrong one? That's the wrong one. That's the wrong one. I need to go lower. Oh wait what? No no I'm doing this right. It's supposed to go here. Okay there we go. You gotta make sure. Clicked in. Okay we're clicked in here. PCI. PCIe. Okay they're both the same so. Are those the right cables? Yeah. You sure? Yeah. Are you really sure? I'm positive. Look look. Okay what's next? Wait is that right? You tell me. Okay it's right. Well now we put all these cords in here you know and we just we put it together with a glass in the case. Okay I don't know why the that HDMI cord is in there. I've never seen a case come with an HDMI cable. I think it's I don't know that's a unique case I don't know why it's stuck in there but he definitely doesn't need that. When I built the computer originally he didn't need that it definitely not needed but because I want to screw with him I'm going to make him feel like he needs it so let's get back in there. Crew? Yes. So that cable is important you need to figure out what it does. It goes to the computer monitor. You know like all other things in this computer they have a purpose some more important than others. Yeah you only got 40 minutes left. So yeah you definitely need to figure out what you need to do with that cable. I don't know where an HDMI cord would go. It's connecting. It's connecting from up here so it must go somewhere around. You're just gonna let it all slide out like. Maybe I was Chris. Maybe I was. It doesn't do anything. It was a trick question. Does it not plug into the computer? I mean into the monitor because like I would think if I look at this correctly HDMI goes right there. Is it on the case? Is it in within this this PC? Hey man good luck. All right how's your mental? It's going downhill. See a lot of people don't ever actually expect this but a large part of computer building is your mental fortitude. How strong are you? How tough are you in the brain? And it seems like you're getting a little frustrated. Are you? I'm not. I'm doing good. Really? You're not upset? You sure? You've been on this HDMI cord for a while dude. This is my last piece. This is the last piece and then it should go. I just have to put the case and everything together back. Well you got a little less than 30 minutes to figure it out. Oh god not like this. I can't go down like this. That would be so tough. Can you imagine you were so close and then just one little cable is there anything you can get? Damn. That's a that's a $300 mistake if I've ever seen one. Oh yeah it is. I agree. It's in the shape of this. This is all I need. It's this is the shape it is. Good luck. Oh hour 43 minutes. I think I got 17 minutes left crew. What's going on here? This dumb cord. I don't know where it goes. Is that cord? I would really appreciate a hint. Dude you are so close. It's actually insane how close you are. I mean how unfortunate would it be if you mean oh wait six less than 16 minutes now you're almost 15 I need one hit. You want a hint? You really want a hit. You want a hit. All right I mean I mean I'm a nice guy I could be persuaded. What would you do for a hint? I'll pay you $20. If I win the computer I will pay you $20 for that hit. Good luck. What? You're a smart kid I believe in you. Dude I don't know what to do. I don't know where it goes. Less than 15 minutes oh my my my. Can you give me a hint words but like somewhat. Some what? How much time we got here? Oh we got five minutes. Less than five minutes now we are time is ticking. Come on. You know I really want to help you I really do but from one troubleshooter to another I really think the benefits to figuring it out on your own are great are massive and unfortunately you don't have a lot of time to figure that out. Oh you're really gonna explode the damn thing. Oh I can explode. Oh you're right it might not explode it might fry everything. I'm gonna fry everything. Oh really okay. All right. Oh my gosh. We all have what it bears to be three and a half minutes left. I think we'll let the clock run this one out for us. Let's see what we're dealing with. Please give me a hint dude that's just so dumb. But you know what since you only got I mean three minutes left. Let's be real dude. Let's let's be completely honest. That HDMI cord doesn't do shit. You're so dumb. Oh man you need to rush though. You got less than three minutes left. I really hope this works out for you. Oh that's not good. What? Look at all these screws we got oh we got this leftover screw this leftover screw. Oh my we got this leftover screw and we got the front glass panel. I mean cool bro. And how much time are we working with here? Yikes. Less almost a minute left. All right this is a panic mode. Oh don't drop that glass panel if it shatters. Oh geez okay. Oh but we've got 30 seconds left. All right hopefully you get this thing turned on and powered on. Are you serious? Amen. I don't make the rules I just enforce them. You're doing rules that I didn't even know about until now. Amen. I have 15 seconds left. How do we know if the computers oh shit 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 I don't see it on. Okay well it's on now. The computer is not on. It looks like it spins. Crew I I hate to break it to you but you uh you didn't make it in time bro. I made it. No you screwed me over I had like 45 extra minutes and I was looking for that for like ever. I mean it looks like it works but there's there's no guarantee so uh why don't we check out your work. You know what it sucks that you didn't get in time but let's check your work. I made it in time. I got the computer together it was together. Does it even work? Oh oh no crew it didn't work. You didn't put it together. Crew are you sure? Oh no let's let's let's give it a ol on and off again. Let's run it back on. Bands are spinning. Oh no did that oh it works. That means it works. Oh hey look let's see. Oh crew good job. You built the computer. Get that out of my face. You built it you know unfortunately in over two hours worth of time that you built the computer. I am not gonna lie this hurts. This really sucks. It's really tough to see. You did a good job. You didn't do a good enough job but you did a good job. So this is what we're gonna do. You're gonna get your money and then meet me back here. Okay what do you think what you do? You think I should be a nice guy? You think I should encourage him? You think I should you know I did give him I did give him two whole hours and he was going really quickly. He just you know he messed up. No no listen don't don't try to give me the argument that oh crazy it was your fault. You misled him. No no no no listen okay. I was giving him a valuable learning experience okay. You guys got to think here. So here's the deal. I like him. Do I like him that much though? Did you get the money? All right let's see it. Oh look at this. Do I need to count this or do I need to trust you? It's 300. It's 300. Okay why don't you go back in here. Let's get let's get it nice and close. All right crew. You may not know this but I I love me some money. Money is great. Money is the world go around. So but there's something I value more than money okay. Brotherly love. That hell though. There's something I value much more than money. I value I value someone who's willing to put in the work. I value someone who is willing to be patient to learn to troubleshoot. I value troubleshooting big time people who are willing to actually figure out what the problem is. So this is what we're going to do. I think you did a good job. Like I've said I've said a million times. Not a good enough job. You definitely didn't do a good enough job. Not even close. Ah yeah a few seconds but you know. So what we're going to do is you can keep your money. And the graphics card in the other computer is actually slightly stronger than this one and if you want to stream I don't know if that's something you're into. If you want to stream you can actually stream off that other graphics card. So we're going to swap it. I'll install the drivers for you. Thanks dude. And you can have yourself a powerful little system. Oh my gosh dude. Christopher and I go way back but it's just kind of weird to touch him. So um okay and uh yeah that's it. That'll be the end of the video. Okay. I am a lucky man. You're what? I am a lucky man. That's true. What do you say? Thank you. No really what do you say? I hope you found this video very uh informational. Is that worth? Creative, entertaining or informative. Informative. In any way shape or form. Have a good as always. Have a good day. Perfect. Get out of here. Bye.
