hey guys this is Austin and today with the video going over some of the most popular gaming pc myths and problems that people have so I get a lot of questions about gaming PC's and here a lot of the exact same misconceptions over and over and over again so today we're going to go ahead and tackle some of the biggest gaming pc myths one of the most common ones i get is that game pcs are just expensive well it certainly is true that a decent PC will set you back more than that 200 on Xbox it is also of course a full-fledged computer that you're going to do a lot more than just gaming on on top of that it actually might not be as expensive as you think as of course while on xbox or ps3 game is almost always going to be $60 brand-new if you can wait just a little bit of time you can find some really killer deals on steam sales and fill your entire library up for a fraction of the price another common misconception is that you have to go out spend a ton of money and buy a full gaming PC with all the lights and bells and whistles now this just simply isn't true you can very simply build one for yourself and almost always save money by doing it and the really cool thing about building it yourself is that you also get to fully customize it so hey guess what you have a giant library and you want a ton of storage get 10 terabytes of storage in your rig you can do whatever you want because you're building it usually the next thing I'll hear is I don't know how to build a computer I'll break it the funny thing is gaming PC's and just PCs in general are actually not difficult to build at all so the way I like to describe it to people is that they're like adult Legos sure you might need the instruction manual in a few hours of time but almost anyone can put together a fully functioning gaming PC with just a screwdriver there are lots of fantastic tutorials online which will show you step-by-step how to put a computer together and even if you have no idea what any of the parts do you can also find different guides which I make one every single month which will show you exactly what kind of performance you can get what kind of budget and all the parts that you need to do it another one I hear all the time is that the processor is obviously the most important part of the build while CPU definitely does play a major role if you're building a gaming computer you really should be spending the bulk of your budget on the graphics card so take for example you spend $300 on your CPU $100 on your graphics card you're going to be entirely limited by that graphics card however if you spend $100 on your CPU and $300 on your graphics card you're going to get much much more performance another common one is that AMD is so much better than Nvidia or vice versa sometimes this can be true for example if you pick a certain AMD card it might be a certain nvidia card but for the most part if you have any budget between $100 and $500 you're going to find both an AMD and NVIDIA card around your price range and both are going to be absolutely fantastic options well sometimes it can be true if you take a specific comparison the Nvidia card might be way better than the AMD card or vice versa but generally both these companies are so well matched and so neck-and-neck it generally actually comes down to what games do you like to play as a lot of games will work better on NVIDIA cards and a lot of games will work better on AMD cards I'm interested to know what are some of the most calling gaming pc myths that you guys hear definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and of course if you ever hear anyone talking about gaming pcs or mentioned any of these myths be sure to share this video with them and they might learn a thing or two if you're interested in more feel free to check out some of my gaming pc videos including the 600 or pc build if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe anyway guys level catch you next time you
