getting into PC gaming especially if it's your first time building a PC can be quite a daunting task and people like me we overclocked our machines and go into all these intricate settings that may confuse you but today is gonna be a very simple and easy guide on how you can build your first PC what we've got on the table here is a mid-range gaming PC and four new parts is actually some of the best value for money you can get running through the list here we've got a one terabyte hard drive from Seagate eh 310 and motherboard from a Zeus an a380 108 gigabytes dual channel ddr3 kit vs 450 power supply from corsair Galax gtx 1060 and a spec ofor case from corsair and now not only in today's guide will I take you through a step-by-step process on how you can build your PC I'll also post time links in the description below for each step in the way and on top of that I will show you how you can get a cheap Windows 10 key and install that on today's machine - thanks to today's video sponsor SCD keys so what are we waiting for let's build this thing so first things first you're going to want to put all your PC parts here on the table laid out and know what you're working with for this you'll also need a screwdriver and a pair of scissors I recommend those tools as well and then the first thing we're going to do is we're gonna move across to the motherboard here and as the name suggests this is the mother of the whole build host your cpu host your memory also hosts your graphics card and your hard drives plug into these solder connectors here so let's start putting this together so the first thing we're going to do is put the CPU in so we just get this lever here push it down and then pull to your right and then it should come up like that and so we get our CPU from the package here and we just installed that in the socket so we have to be very careful so we put it in like that there should be little dimples on the side of the CPU and also an arrow to indicate where it goes incorrectly and after we've done that we can then push the lever down and make sure it's under this little screw here and then we can push this side lever down with our right hand and this plastic clip should pop off as well so now it's time to install our CPU cooler so as we do for this is line up the little four holes here with the motherboard and then we push diagonally down and diagonally down again and so now our CPU cooler is installed and also we have to do to is then now plug this four pin connector to the top of the motherboard like that and we don't have to worry about any thermal paste because this cooler actually has thermal paste already pre applied and now it's time to install our ddr4 system memory so we just grab these two clips on the DIMM slots here push them outwards and then grab the memory and then simply match that up like that and push it in on both of the edges and do the exact same thing for your next stick of memory bang done some do prep the build as I call it so we're going to take this side panel off here on Corsair case and then we're going to install our power supply and also our SSD and hard drives - so now installing the power supply first we simply have the orientation like this where since there is breathable space in the bottom of the case we have the fan facing down and so here we just put it in like that and then we can simply just screw it off to the rear heel and as Warcraft three peasants would say jobs done install our SSD and hard drive so we can just take out these two trays here and you'll also notice there is a little box with this tray as well this is simply for our screws to install later on with the motherboard so we put that aside for now and also it will have our screws to install our drives to so first off here we have the hard drive and this doesn't generally need any screws all we do is we line up these three little holes here with the side of the hard drive and we install it like so and that's all you have to do and then you can put that back in the system and then we can get on now to our SSD and here we're going to install the SSD this time we will need screws there is for SSD screws included with that previous box that we pulled out of the drive tray and we just simply screw off all four ends and job's done I'm to install the motherboard and also the input/output shields that's that little metal shield that's included with the motherboard so once you simply put it in here from the inside of the case and just push that on all four corners until it's clicked in the next step here is to install the motherboard and we simply place it down over the alignment of screws and also underneath our i/o shield just like that and now it's time to screw it in and the screws for this will be the motherboard screws included with the box and I'll quickly show them on camera for you so you know which screws they are and then we just simply screw off the motherboard into the case so after installing the motherboard I sometimes depending on the orientation for simplicity purposes we're just going to install the graphics card first so we take out these two side PCIe brackets here and also at the rear of the case there is an extra bracket that we take off so we can install our graphics card now with the graphics card we can install it in the top PCIe slot here so we lined that up like so and that should click in place and slot in then after that we now screw the graphics card back into the side slot here with the two screws they're already used to take off the PCIe protection brackets so now that we've completed the most difficult part of building the PC it's time to hook up all these cables all the front panel cables and also the hard drives to everywhere they need to go so the first thing I like to do is remove the rear panel so now there should be two SATA cables included with your motherboard box so we want to actually hook these up to the drives themselves just like that there should be 2 SATA connection points and then simply route them through the rear hole here in the case so now once you've routed them through you can simply plug them into the motherboard like so and now we can work on getting our front cables which is this right here installed to the motherboard as well so this here is your USB 3 cable this will go into the USB 3 slot on the motherboard right here and now you have your audio cable which will go over to the right of the build right here and that's your front panel microphone and headphone jacks and then you've got the rest of these little cables here they are your power and lights for your front panel so they will get hooked up to the bottom of the case usually on the right of the motherboard here Prinze knowing the data cables it's time to route our power cables to the rear of the case and then we're going to do also a little bit of cable management in this build too since we do get four included zip ties so untangle all your cables like so and we will need our 24 pin motherboard connector and we just pull that through the underneath here on the bottom hole and also our CPU eight pin we can pull that through the rear of the case like so and then do the same for a 6 pin PCI a VGA connector which will be this one here and then lastly you'll need some SATA power connectors so pull those through as well start routing these power cables each to where they need to go our solder cables will simply plug in the rear of our hard drives like so and then that is now finished and also while we're here we can quickly zip tie off these cables that we won't need and also insert them like so so we've also done a little bit of cable management to make things look a little bit cleaner and while we're at it since there is our front panel fan connector here we'll also untie that and route that through the bottom of the case where our SATA cables came through to now our next step is to route through the motherboard connector here so that'll go on the middle slot like so and also while we're at it we can route through our PCIe connection which will go in the one just below that and also our CPU eight pin connect which can go through the top here the front of the case we can start plugging in the cables to where they need to go 24 pin will go on the right of the motherboard here and you just simply line that up now we've got the PCIe connection here that'll just go since it's a six pin we only need the 6 pin portion of it we can then just simply plug that in like so so now the top of the case since we only need a four pin connection up here we can then separate the four pin and plug that in here like so now the final cable to hook up is the fan on the front panel and since there is only two fan headers on this motherboard we actually have to install the front top fan header here and put the front panel fan to this header up here like so and then reroute this one to the back right header here like that now the build technically is complete we could fire this up and everything should boot absolutely fine however you notice that all these cables are really messy and they're really ugly so since we do have three zip ties left we'll now just clean up the cables on both the front of the case and on the rear of the case in a couple of minutes and now that we've completed the build it is time to install Windows 10 and it's a very easy process all you need is an 8 gigabyte or larger USB flash drive simply plug that in and in the link in the description below it'll take you directly to today's video sponsor s CD keys where you can get a legitimate x64 Windows 10 Pro license for as little as 12 dollars after you use the tackiest city coupon code which is also in the description below so just click the link add that to your cart and then you can apply the coupon code or of course you can get Windows 10 wherever you wish to but this is a very cheap method it's very safe as well as this website does accept various forms of payment I always prefer to use PayPal that way I don't have to give away my credit card details over the Internet PayPal is extremely safe too and so after you've done this you can buy the key and it'll give it to you and you can go to the Windows 10 website enter the key and then you can create with our USB flash drive a bootable Windows 10 Pro which we can then after we've created this disk insert into the new PC simply boot it up and then it'll launch into the Windows installation and we insert that key that we used from our CD keys put that in and we're now ready to install windows and we're good to go now that Windows 10 is finally installed it is time to start playing games but of course I do recommend going to invidious website if you're using a gtx 1060 like I did today getting the latest graphics card drivers and also if you have time I do recommend optimizing windows to make it that little bit faster I do have an optimization guide which I'll put the link in the description below or I'll put a little link up here that you can click in the video itself and after all is said and done it is now time for you to start playing games on your brand-new PC I hope you enjoy the PC gaming experience and that's pretty much it when it comes to building a PC it really is that simple it's not that difficult of a task though if you do have any questions or comments then be sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and also if you enjoyed this tutorial then be sure to hit that like button too but what we got here now is a very quiet gaming PC that uses under 40 watts on the desktop also when we're playing titles it was going up to a hundred and ninety watts usage in project cars to which is a very demanding title but also shows you how efficient this build is here too so if you want to build something similar to this then I'll put the links in the description for all the parts that I used and also if you want to get a cheap Windows 10 Pro cd-key 64-bit then I'll put the link in the description below for that too you can get a discount if you use the tech yes City coupon code too and with that said I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye and that should click in place and slot in then after that we now screw the graphics card back into the side slot here with the two screws and then the last cable we're going to do is install that fan that we previously routed through and we actually have to actually actually actually actually actually actually actually and then actually should be two SATA cables included with your motherboard box and so we want to hook these up to the SATA connection points right here and here
