welcome everyone to part three of my how to build a PC in 2019 tutorial series in the first part we talked about all the parts of a computer and gave some suggestions on what you should potentially buy to assemble your own system in part two we actually assembled the system we built two systems and Intel build and an AMD build today I'm going to be focusing on installing Windows 10 getting everything set up the way you want it to working with the UEFI to make sure that the memory is running at the right speed and everything and even getting so far as to installing steam and other game clients and maybe even gaming and streaming at the same time but first today's video is brought to you by Squarespace go to squarespace.com slash Paul's hardware and get 10% off of your first order more on that later in the video but for now let's get started so let's start out with what you need of course the computer that you just built is necessary you will need the cables to connect it which mostly should come with the computer itself either in the power supply box for the power cable you might need a video cable for example like HDMI I am connected up to this monitor via the graphics card also I installed the r-tx 2016 here which I initially intended to install in the build video which I've swapped accidentally you guys forgive me of course but we're not working with the proper graphics card that I intended to install in the first place and we have of course the keyboard and mouse we have the monitor we have an internet connection that's represented by my Ethernet cable over here additionally you're going to need another computer that's right a functional working computer and that is so you can set up a Windows 10 installation USB so you will also need a little USB Drive for that I recommend an 8 gig Drive but just remember everything that's on the drive is gonna be wiped so don't have anything stored on there speaking of storage and backing up stuff I highly recommend getting some form of external storage and that is so you can both backup if you have an existing computer that you're transitioning over to the new computer from and to copy all that stuff externally so you can copy it onto the new computer but also having everything saved in more than one location I'm not going to go into long-term backup storage solutions or anything like that but my general rule of thumb is have everything saved on at least two drives so especially if you're talking about personal stuff pictures stuff that's not replaceable get it on a storage drive that's external as well as something that's internal in your computer and I'll talk about doing that and setting that up in just a minute so for that purpose you'll also probably want an extra Drive that's installed in the computer right now I've only got a single Drive installed in here but I'm going to be adding one more and that could be another SSD like this 2.5 inch drive or it could be a spinning mechanical hard drive like this WD black 3.5 inch drive they're both SATA drives so they both plug in the same way and finally for that gaming part at the end I have a headset so both headphones so I can hear sound from the game as well as a microphone so I can talk to people in game if I don't want to be a complete noob and if you're at all considering gaming and streaming at the same time then you might want a webcam or something so you can show your face on your stream so for that I'm just going to be using this a Logitech c920 I will link an updated version of this in the video's description down below as well so what we're gonna do now is set up this USB drive to be a Windows 10 installer to take Windows 10 and install it onto the SSD that's already installed in the system so for that you're gonna need your existing computer go ahead and open that up and take your USB drive and plug it in from there you'll want to navigate to the windows 10 website I'll post a link to this in the video's description but you wants the create Windows 10 installation media function click download tool now so from there just go to your downloads folder and launch the media creation tool you'll get a little pop-up click OK and from there you'll see this screen that says getting a few things ready with a little spinny wait a moment dial so give it a minute and it should pop up with the next screen we are definitely going to agree to these licensing terms hit accept wait a few more moments and then you'll see this screen we don't want to upgrade this PC we don't want to create an installation media USB flash drive so I'll click Next there choose your language Edition and architecture all of these are fine English Windows 10 and 64 bits these are recommended options you can uncheck that if you want to but I'm gonna hit next and here we're gonna use a USB flash drive needs to be eight gigs we'll hit next there once again and then it has recognized the only connected USB flash drive that it deems is eligible to install to do double check if you have other drives connected that you're not overriding any of those this is our only drive that we want to install to you right there hit next and then it'll take a few minutes to copy all the windows 10 information onto your USB Drive while it's doing that head over to your motherboard manufacturers websites the motherboard in here is the MSI B 450 tomahawk search for your motherboard on your motherboard manufacturers website you should have a support page that you can access you can also download the latest bios or UEFI version for your motherboard I have one that's just a little shy of a month old so I'm gonna go ahead and download that the latest version and then I'm going to go over to drivers and here we just want to make sure that we have the right drivers for the operating system which is windows 10 64-bit and then here we want land drivers because we want to make sure that after we install Windows we can access the Internet on the new system to download any additional drivers that we might want so PC a Ethernet drivers is a good one to grab the Windows 10 installer might recognize your Ethernet adapter by defaults but it's good to have this on hand just in case it does it because getting this computer connected to the Internet is important also if your motherboard happens to have Wi-Fi integrated which this does not you could also download your motherboards Wi-Fi drivers and then you can connect to your router via Wi-Fi either way works as long as you get an internet connection while we're waiting if anyone is concerned that I'm not doing the installation on this Intel build I put together it is literally pretty much exactly the same the only difference is is that the motherboard manufacturers website is going to be for the Intel motherboard that's installed here rather than the AMD board that's installed over there other than that you need the same drivers and software and everything for this system that you need for that system and the USB flash drive is ready hooray we can hit finish Before we jump over to the new PC though I'm gonna go into that USB Drive that was just created still has some space left over on it and I'm going to copy the stuff I downloaded from the motherboard manufacturers website I made a new folder for these files and I'm gonna take the BIOS that was downloaded and move that as well as the driver for the land I just relabeled those folders so I know what is what and now we can switch over to the new PC I'm just gonna take my USB from the computer I use to create the Windows 10 installer plug it in to one of the USB ports on the back of my system here and then we can turn the system on make sure the switch back here is in the right position then just power button should do it and when you first boot up a new computer for the first time it's going to access the motherboards UEFI or BIOS and you'll also probably see on the monitor it's connected to a splash screen usually it's got the logo of the motherboard manufacturer right now we see Arsenal gaming and at the bottom you will see very very briefly some information about hitting the delete button to enter the UEFI BIOS you can double check what that splash screen says but it is almost always the Delete button so as the system is booting up I'm just gonna tap the delete' button once every second or two and that should allow me to access the UEFI bios this is MSI it's got a graphic user interface so you can actually use your mouse to navigate around and click on different things and the first thing I always do is just reality check to make sure that everything you installed is actually there and installed and functional you can see the motherboard listed in the top right view 450 tomahawk our CPU is the risin 5 2600 memory installed is 8 gigs which reminds me that I installed an 8 gig kit in this system rather than a 16 gig kick that was recommended I'll fix that in just a second we can also see the vcore DDR voltage some other stuff bios version is listed right here so we're gonna do first is update the BIOS there's different ways to do that for MSI there you have a utility called em flash so I can click over here and em flash and hit OK the system will quickly reboot into BIOS flashing mode a gigabyte and Asus have functions allow you to update the BIOS from within the UEFI you just need to access the Q flash feature double check your motherboards manual and it should have a walkthrough for that just make sure that if you're updating your systems BIOS the system stays plugged in and powered on you don't want to power it off especially if it's a mid update that is a way that you can potentially brick your motherboard and force you to reinstall it but we've rebooted here into M flash mode my USB Drive is already plugged in I'm gonna go to the folder I created MSI B 450 tomahawk click on the UEFI BIOS folder I made and here we can see the file that I am updating to version 1.5 we are currently using version 1 so that's that's good for me click on that and hit OK and give it just a few moments while that updates the BIOS the BIOS if they completed the system automatically restart afterwards and I am tapping the delete button upon the restart to get back into the BIOS because we're not quite done yet actually before any of that I'm going to install a 16 gig memory kit because this memory kid is 8 gigs I intended to install a 16 gig kit but the kid I had that was matching as the wrong size so let me pop these up now the system is starting back up again and I'm tapping delete once again to get back into the UEFI sometimes we get a message like this if you swap out memory or a CPU so if you're upgrading from a 2200 G to a 2600 for example you'd probably see this that's okay it just means the system recognized it something changed so it wants to go into the UEFI to make sure all the settings are appropriate before it proceeds to try it windows now we can again double check and make sure everything's looking good memory size is now up to 16 gigs so that's awesome when it comes to memory it will automatically run at a default speed and for this platform that is 2133 since you probably bought faster memory you want to make sure the memory is running at the faster speed that it's capable of running at and assuming that you bought rise in compatible memory you should be able to just do the easy thing which is to enable XMP settings in order to get that up and running a mess I made a shortcut for it up here it's just an on/off button so click on and now it's on and down here there's actually two XMP profiles for this memory kit one's a slower speed of 3066 when is it faster speed of 3400 I want the faster speed so I'm gonna go as profile - just like that's finally going down to storage I'm just double checking to make sure the SSD I have installed is being recognized I just installed the SanDisk 240 gig so that's right there - also our SATA controller is an AHCI mode which it should be by default but that's something that's also good to double-check one last thing before we back out of here is our fans and here I noticing that one fan in particular is running a little loud all the fans are plugged into fan headers on the motherboard and those are all labeled the one that's being loud is the one that's plugged into the pump fan header so I'm just going to click on this P pump fan I'm gonna click the little gear icon and then I'm going to make it slower also it's only a three pin plug for that fan so it does not have PWM that's what the four spin four is for with fan plugs so I'm gonna switch to DC mode and then I'm just gonna grab these these guys on here and move them down so that it runs a lower rpm at a lower temperature there's a bunch of different squeaking and stuff you can do with this type of thing but I'm just keeping it simple for now okay once you've made the changes you want to make in the ufi you can usually hit f10 to save and exits that's one way to do it or here in the MSI board we can go to Advanced Mode and settings and then there also we have a save and exit exit option Save Changes and reboots that's gonna save and reboot and then we want it to boot off of that USB Drive the windows 10 installer that we just created we could go back into the UEFI and change the boot priority or we can hit f11 and as the splash screen pops up here once again at the very bottom we should see a very very quick list of other things you can press besides delete one of those is f11 F 11 takes you to a quick boot menu and here we can manually tell the system I want to boot off of the UEFI USB disk that I just created do you efi not just USB disk you want UEFI mode and hit OK on that and then it will start booting off of that drive and get you into the Windows 10 installation environment so now we're actually installing Windows 10 you can choose alternate languages here as well as time and currency format so we're going to leave those all at defaults and then here you can install or repair keep this USB installer because you can't use it for repair functions in the future but we're just going to click install now just a brief moment well it loads up some installation stuff here's where you can plug in your Windows 10 product key if you happen to already have one don't worry if you don't click I don't have a product key we can grab one later and then here's where you choose the version you want to install I usually go with Windows 10 Pro you can also go with Windows 10 home those are the two choices I would recommend for you guys for our purposes we're gonna go with Windows 10 Pro 4 right now we have more license terms which we of course will read thoroughly and agree to and then here we're gonna click custom rather than upgrade I always like custom installs do it clean do it fresh and that will take you to this interface where you choose which drive to install - I only have one drive connected that is drive 0 but this drive has been used before which means it already has some partitions on it now bearing in mind that we're going to be deleting everything that's on this drive so of course we've already double checked to make sure there's no important information we're just going to delete all the existing partitions on the drive so that we're left with nothing but unallocated space and then we can install windows onto that unallocated space you could hit new and make your own partition but just hit next and it'll do it automatically from here it will copy Windows files get ready for installation install features this process will vary depending on the speed of your system and the USB Drive that you're loading off of but usually it takes between 8 and 15 minutes and then you can move on to the next step after the Windows 10 installation finishes it will do an automatic restart which is has just done right now since I did the quick boot in order to boot off of that USB Drive it's gonna automatically refresh and boot back off of the SSD that it just installed - if you went into the BIOS and manually changed your boot order in order to boot off of that USB Drive and that's a good time to go back in there and switch it back so again it's booting off of the windows boot manager for the SSD that you install windows 2 here it's gonna do a bit more housekeeping stuff getting ready and then we're gonna go into first steps after a quick restarts we're now greeted with these men suja's start with the region we're in the United States so we'll go ahead with that we're sticking with the u.s. keyboard layout we don't want to add a second keyboard but you can do that here if you need more accessibility and here we can connect to the internet but we're gonna skip that for now Windows 10 really wants me to connect to the Internet no not not yet Windows 10 I'll connect to the internet what I am ready and now you can create a name for the computer with Windows 10 the license can be attached to the computer or the license can be attached to you via a Microsoft account I usually attach the licenses to the computer so that's the method I'm going to focus on for today but your computer needs a name we're just gonna call it Tommy next up create a password definitely you should do this I'm not gonna do it right now because I wouldn't show you what my password is anyway but but always create a password it's the way you keep your computer secure next up it'll ask if you want to use Cortana no no you do not next up device history across multiple devices no I don't care about that either privacy settings I always turn all of these off because I don't want Microsoft to track me Microsoft is still gonna track me to some degree but this is the way you can tell Microsoft no I don't want you to track me as little as possible and then after that Microsoft will say hi we're getting everything ready for you and just a few more minutes to wait before you can actually use the operating system look Windows 10 is installed that's awesome of course we still need to do quite a few setup procedures and I'm gonna start out with my personal method for making the Windows 10 UI just a little bit easier to handle for one let's go to themes and related settings and here I just like to choose desktop icon settings and add the computer icon to the desktop there's just a personal preference you don't need to do this at all next up open up file explorer via the little folder icon on the desktop and go over to view and here we want to go to options this will bring up folder options I like open file explorer to this PC rather than quick access and then over on view I display the full path in the title bar I show hidden files folders and drives I do not hide empty drives and this one in particular is the one I always turn off hide extensions for known file types I just think that's a stupid thing that Microsoft should never use this means that we can now see the file extensions of stuff like INF fi dot exe we can now see if this is an executable file we might be running by double-clicking it for example now that this PC is on the desktop we can right-click it and go to manage and there's a couple things we will want to access in computer management's one is going to be the device manager we can click on that and we can see all the devices that the PC currently has in it that the operating system does not recognize don't worry Windows updates should be able to handle a bunch of these we'll also be looking at Disk Management in just a minute but I'll come back to that I also like to turn off the people icon on the taskbar also personal preference but at this point we are ready to connect this computer to the Internet's so I'm gonna take my blue cable of Internet access here and plug it in to the rj45 port on the back and in just a moment we should have internet access when you connect to a network Windows 10 will ask you if you want to make your PC discoverable if you're on a home network and you want to network between computers to transfer files then click yes if you're on a public network or you're not sure click no now we can see that we have internet access so at this point you should do windows updates over and over and over again you can access that by hitting the windows key and typing updates it should take you to the check for updates function in settings we're gonna click check for updates it should come back with some updates that are found it will then install them we'll let that do that automatically will then manually tell the system to restart will then access Windows Update again see if it has any more updates let them install restart rinse and repeat this process until when you access Windows updates it says there are no updates left to install you're up to date even then click update yet again just a double check because sometimes it doesn't always catch things right away but do it a few times and then everything should be up to date among these updates though you might notice it downloading some drivers so for instance this is an Nvidia display driver that it's downloading from back in January also Advanced Micro Devices that's a MD so it's gonna be downloading some drivers for the chipset and some of the motherboard hardware that's installed now that Windows is up to date I'm gonna use Microsoft edge here to download Chrome and Firefox I tend to like to have multiple browsers but if we go to google.com we can access Chrome so we'll go ahead and download that and at the same time we'll go to the Mozilla website to download Firefox because Firefox is also a very good browser and there independent browser source so I like them will hit run on both of these and install them both the same time maybe isn't the best idea but we're gonna do it it's good overlapping browser installs that's fun right well let Firefox go first and then we'll let chrome go yeah hey firefox be afraid to use Microsoft edge as well just bear in mind edges switching to chromium so edge and Google Chrome are going to be very similar beyond that Chrome and Firefox are generally my go twos I will then also unpin edge from the taskbar down there and then go ahead and pin Google Chrome and Firefox pinning frequently used tasks to the taskbar down here allows you to access them without having the icon on your desktop and that helps your desktop stay clean which is always nice from there we can load up either browser and it might recommend that you set a default browser cuz I just default I'll switch to Chrome and yes switch anyway from here I'm just gonna go back to the MS Ivy 450 tomahawk web page from MSI so I can go back to the support page and double check that there's no drivers that Windows 10 installed but there might be updated versions for in order to do that go back to manage after right-clicking on this PC and we can click device manager and we can actually see that there are no more unrecognized hardware devices here Windows 10 did a good job of sort of scooping all those back up well you can go back over here to drivers select Windows 10 64 bits and then you can see if there's any additional drivers you don't need the raid driver unless you're setting up raid and I'm not going to cover that in this video there's also a chipset driver which you might potentially want to updates LAN drivers in particular if a not recognized for now I'm just going to go with what we have because this AMD chipset driver is from November of last year so chances are we're not too far out of date so instead we're going to go to the nvidia website since we have an nvidia r-tx 2060 installed and we're going to download drivers from here because the GPU driver is something that is very important for your gaming performance you can have the website automatically detect what you have installed or you can tell it what you have installed we have a twenty series twenty sixty everything else is the same latest drivers from three days ago on february 22nd so we'll click download on that's wait for it to download and then install that as well anything that you download should download to the downloads folder that's why it's there so you can run the nvidia driver installer from there click ok it should automatically install again just takes a few minutes and everything should be automatic the one thing that I don't install from the Nvidia drivers is the NVIDIA GeForce experience that's my personal preference though GeForce experience can actually be pretty handy for you if you're not familiar with how to go into a different game and do the settings or to have the automatic capture feature for it so so feel free to install GeForce experience if you want to just I'm not going to here the install we're finished we can click close and sometimes it'll prompt you for restart but not every time and now the computer is pretty much set up the way you'd want it to you might consider an antivirus but Windows has Windows Defender built into it which does a decent job at this point I'm going to move on to actually using this gaming PC for PC gaming so to install manage PC games usually you're going to use a game manager Steam is the most popular one and gives you access to a huge library of games a lot of them free-to-play of course there's a lot of other ones that have come into popularity recently so Blizzard has their own launcher epic has the launcher especially if you want to play fortnight which is free-to-play that's another good one I'm gonna stall the origin launcher so we can test out some apex legends and then if everything goes smoothly I'm gonna try out gaming and streaming on the system at the same time and I'll show you guys some basic setup steps for that too so for gaming I'm gonna download the Steam client for that just go to steam powered comm click the install steam icon and you'll download that little installer origin roughly the same go to the origin download page and will download the origin thin setup client for that the same time I'm going to go to the OBS project.com website and download the windows installer version of that too the one thing that I almost nearly forgot here is that I have added another drive now so the system's all set up I have now added a drive or just plugged in a drive if you happen to unplugged it you'd probably want to install that better than I have it's just sitting in there right now but the actual setup procedure for an additional storage drive is gonna be the same whether it's a SATA drive or mechanical hard drive like this and for that's you will just want to plug the drive in right click on this PC go to manage down here you have Disk Management so click on that and since we've just plugged in a brand new completely unformatted and unpartitioned Drive it's popping up and asking if I want to initialize the disk you want to initialize a disk and then create a partition on it bere mind if you have a drive that you're reusing from an existing system it might already be formatted and have partitions on it in which case you'd want to go delete those and then reformat the drive so you can use it as a fresh and new one for now though we're just gonna initialize the disk use GPT rather than MBR especially if you're using a mechanical drive that's larger than 2 terabytes click OK and then down here we can see disk 2 listed but all the space on it is currently unallocated right click on that go to new simple volume this will take you through your wizard to do that probably you just want to use the maximum amount of space although you can't partition it into different smaller partitions if you want to assign it a drive letter click Next and then choose the filesystem you want NTFS and default and I usually do a volume label on here so title at 480 gigabytes storage SSD and I recommend doing a quick format in order to get the drive up and running and working quickly although if you are using an older drive especially if it's from an existing computer you might want to consider a full format on the drive just bear in mind the larger the capacity of the drive the longer it will take and that does mean a few hours potentially for like a 4 terabyte or a larger drive with the quick format though once I hit finish it should pop up like within just a few seconds usually now Windows has asked me what I want to do with the new Drive I usually just tell it to open it and they look completely new clean drive with nothing on it so now connected to the system if we eject our Windows installer because we don't need that anymore we have our local disk or the SSD that we installed windows on to and that still has 194 gigs free on it and then we've got this other drive that we've just added for storage and the first thing I'm going to do in here is go and create a folder called games my downloads have completed so I'm gonna go back to the Downloads folder and I'll start installing these we can start with Steam setup and these installers are all pretty much the same they'll have you choose a language an installation location you can just use the default for the most part the clients will often update themselves as well once you've installed them and now you can either log in to your existing Steam account or create a new one I'm gonna skip that for now so we can go ahead and install origin pretty much the same way one thing I do like to turn off is having these run when windows starts you know I'll tell you if I want you to load application automatic updates are okay though and sharing harbour aspects is up to you origin is installed so lastly we will install OBS so guys I now have steam as well as origin setup and installed but none of the games are actually installed so I'm gonna really quickly talk about copying games that you might have already downloaded so you don't have to redownload them especially if it's you know 20 or 40 or 80 plus gigabytes it might take a while it's easier to copy games over that you've already downloaded and also talking about the external drive that you have hopefully backed up stuff on to as well as the internal storage drive that we've just recently set up so I'm gonna take my storage drive here and plug it in the back I have multiple things on this drive but the steamapps folder is the important one here and then the origin games folder is the other one so let's start with steam if you have steam and you want to install a game or copy a game that you already have if you've got steam loaded up and you're logged in you can go to settings and then you can go to downloads and then you can change your Steam library folders it's gonna have a default one in the x86 Program Files folder we're gonna add one more and then we're gonna change it from the c drive here down to the e drive because if we look at my pc we've got our operating system drive here and then we have our 488 storage drive that we just set up that is the e drive we want to make a games folder in there so we'll hit new folder steam library now we've got a steam library folder select that and now we've got a secondary location week where we can install games so now on our 480 gig storage drive in the game's Steam library folder we have a steam apps folder and that's gonna be important because that's where the games go so I've got an exited steam I'm gonna go into the steam apps folder and then in the common folder I'm just gonna copy the FTL faster than lights folder over and that was really quick again this is not a very large game I will then relaunch steam and if I go back to my games library and go to FTL its installed in another system on my network which is why it's asking me if I want to stream it though but if I go to install on this machine and then click install as long as I point it to the library where I just copied that folder and hit next so it did this really quickly for me just now but basically it'll say discovering files it'll discover the folder that you've already copied over there and then you should just be able to play it again it really quickly because FTL is a very small game but especially if you have a larger game that's 20 gigs or more you should be able to do that and then play the game rather than downloading it of course it's Steam there's tons of free to play games on Steam so you can just download any game and start playing it but I also copied Apex legends which is about 20 gigs and I saved that to the origin games folder over here so again in my games folder we have Steam library I'm gonna copy origin games as well over to that and that's got the apex legends folder with all the files for that game in it too and that shouldn't take too long here how fast is it going 200 megabytes a second it's not too shabby now that that's copy I'm gonna go back to origin go to my game library apex legends is free-to-play so anyone can add it to their library and then here there's a little gear so rather than download I'm gonna click the gear and go to locate game and then I should be able to just point this clients to where I copy the game to which if you guys remember correctly is my 488 storage Drive games origin games apex select folder hopefully it will verify the game files and then we'll be able to play soon rather than read downloading this 20 gig client well that is getting set up I am going to set up to do some game streaming because that's been my whole goal this whole time is to build this system this is about a nine hundred dollar system and actually set it up show you guys a step by step process and get to the point where I can game in stream on it to prove to you that this is legit and that I know what I'm doing so this is just a webcam logitech c920 you can get these really cheap now because they've been around for a while they do 1080 as far as the resolution goes the video quality isn't phenomenal on them so there are some newer ones they have like a 4k version now or you can get like Elgato has a little adapter USB that you can use to plug in a nicer camera that has an HDMI output there's a bunch of ways to get your face onto the stream but this is just a quick and easy one logitech capture apparently is a Windows 10 thing I've never used this before but I'm gonna I'm gonna dive into it here just for you guys it's downloading automatically fortunately apex legends has verified so that's good to go webcam is working fortunately so that's good and I'm also getting my headset plugged in now my kid headphone these are going to be green and usually a pink or sometimes red they should plug into color-coded outputs on the back except this mother bored MSI is really cool with their color coding so they made them all red and black fortunately the mic is labeled mic and then the normal one you'd use for headphones are a standard stereo out is highlighted in white so that's good so at this point I've got my games installed I have OBS installed I've plugged in my Logitech camera I've used the Logitech new software which seems functional enough again I'm not going to get into the details of the setup for that or for OBS because this video is already getting a little bit too long but OBS at least I'm just gonna use the wizard that they have which is available under tools Auto configuration we're gonna optimize for streaming and again just to keep things simple I'm just gonna go with the defaults that they're suggesting so 1080 for our outputs are streaming type here is streaming services usually twitch I would input my twitch streaming link here which I'm not going to show you guys but I'll pull it up in just a second I've actually never done the auto configuration wizard with OBS so it's doing some bandwidth testing right now that's that's kind of fun it says it just takes a minute or two and hopefully then it will also maybe access the webcam alright so settings are applied and now we need to set up our scenes so we're gonna add a couple things try a video capture device first we will call this webcam okay and hey it automatically pops up with our HD pro webcam c920 gonna hit OK on that and now we can see me right there you can hold the alt button and grab the edges of this if you want to crop in so that just get your face in there and crop out other stuffs that might be around and now we'll also add Game Capture and usually that's just by default to capture any any fullscreen application and then we want the Game Capture to be behind the webcam so we'll drag that down underneath now we can load apex legends allow access to the firewall so now I'm just double-checking that apex legends is appearing with OBS I switched apex legends to borderless windowed mode so that I can see both at the same time but now we can see the game is being captured in the background we can also see that my face is showing up right there although the game capture I need to rescale so that it fits the window that's better and now I can start streaming and play again hey guys anyone jumping in to watch on Twitch I really appreciate you guys being here but just to be forewarned this is going to be a single game at a single game only my apologies I don't have a whole lot of time today I'm just doing a game demo test for my how to build a PC video part 3 where I did I just set up this whole PC this morning and I am actually gaming and streaming on it at the same time no no an enemy you don't budget heard the enemy go guns I want a gun no don't shoot me now chair to jump kick instead he came up and hit me with the oh come on teammate are you going oh you just ditching me thanks for the help buddy just run away how much time do I have here before I die oh never mind was a quick game I said it was only gonna play one game but then I died immediately so now I'm only playing one more game so this works stream from what I can tell is a little choppy but it's not looking too bad maybe I can get a gun this time that would be a vast improvement have you shot out already somebody's already down I have a longbow oh this is the first time I've ever had a longbow and I kind of know how it works sort of but not very well did our team mate just drop out of the game exciting this is brilliant well fortunately the point of this was not to show my amazing gameplay it was to show that this computer I just put together is functional and capable of play a game and streaming at the same time although some more tweaks to the settings would probably maybe smooth out the stream a little bit but honestly overall especially for just this quick setup I did things looking pretty smooth except for of course my ability to shoot a gun and play the game well so obviously I need to practice more at Apex legends but I'll get to that very soon in the meantime though that pretty much wraps it up for this video of course there's lots of little details here and there that I didn't cover hopefully I got the main things so that you guys can go from a system you just put together to a system that is set up with Windows games installed that you can start using start playing games start enjoying the computer you just built ASAP now the last thing here is going to be Windows 10 do you want to activate it you can actually get by without activating Windows 10 for quite some time it just takes away your personalization options and you'll eventually get a little watermark down in the bottom right that says this copy of Windows might not be genuine now you can actually get around the wallpaper personalization thing if you just download a file I usually go to interface lift but of course it's not the sites not working right now but if you've downloaded a picture you can just right click it from Explorer and go to set as desktop background and now you have a desktop background even though you don't have personalization options so that's something you can do there and that will get most people by but if you really do want a legitimate version of Windows you can purchase a key and for that you should check out my windows 10 for $20 video although the price is now closer to $30 that'll walk you through the steps of activating your version of Windows just make sure you only use it for Windows 10 and make sure you get the version of Windows that you installed so if you installed Windows 10 Pro get that license key so you can activate it properly because the home license won't activate on Pro and vice versa before I move on though I'd like to quickly say thank you to
