welcome back to take a city this Barone's you coming back to you guys today with the long-awaited how to build a pc so today I'm going to be building a PC for you guys it's going to be fully uncut I'm going to be detailing everything I do and trying to show you the best camera angles possible and some little things to look out for as well now every something to keep in mind before we start this build is that every pretty much a lot of computer builds are going to be different there's going to be either you've got an APU from AP AMD which is a different socket to a say an Intel but that's not to worry because it's all pretty similar when it comes to installing just think of it as Lego but with fancy circuits and traces everywhere so it really isn't that difficult everything does connect to one another and it's I'm going to try and make this build as simple as possible for you guys today and without further ado let's begin now the first thing is if you are prone to stop statically shocking stuff then I want you to go and buy yourself a static wristband if you don't statically shock anything then you will not problem you don't need it a static wristband sorry let's get on with the build so the first thing I've done here is put all the parts on the bench so I want you guys to unbox all your parts for your build and put them on the table or wherever you wish to build it and then I also want you to take the case apart and take all the panels off your case and all the screws and you can put them say I put mine to the couch to the side here so as you can see here I've just put my site two-sided cables power cable and HDMI cable also my screws and my panels are just sitting there so they can go on last once I finish my whole build I can put these back together so let's get on with the build here so the first parts the first part and now you guys can do this in whichever order you wish to so if you wish to install the power supply first then you can me only I like to usually put the CPU in and the RAM in and put the CPU cooler on first that's just the way I like doing things so let's do this first first things first let's put the CPU in so the CPU will have an error which you can guys can see here the arrow will go and match the arrow on the actual socket so the arrow is pointing this way the air is pointing this way it just goes in like this and then we just put this down and latch it in like that that's finished now for the CPU cooler this is this can be a little bit tricky I mean if you have a really big CPU cooler or a water cooler then you may wish to put the cooler on last it is up to you guys me I've just got eight I've just got to stop cooler here so this is going to be my this is going to be my home theater PC so nothing to worry about there so I don't I can just put the cooler on now and it shouldn't be a problem now just as I'm installing this I will just make sure that I'm doing it properly getting everything in there now also this is the part where you want to put some thermal paste on this is just some Animax just some stuff that I got with my CPU aftermarket CPU cooler just a blob there be careful not to drop it like I've done I'm in a bit of a rush so I'm I'm actually doing it a bit sloppy so be careful when you put usually when you're putting thermal paste on be a bit careful I'm just pretty sloppy with this today I should actually I'll get an alcohol wipe and wipe that off so yeah you're going to come into complications as you do to worry and I did say I'm going to do this uncut for you guys so I have dropped some thermal paste on the motherboard so alcohol wipes are very handy to clean up any mess on your if you've got any sort of you know if you've dropped something you've got some thermal paste in a place where you don't want it to be you can just take it off and it shouldn't be a problem so alcohol wax they're very important I always recommend having some of these around so once you've got that ready to go you can then put the CPU cooler on which shouldn't be a problem so this is it goes in like this it feels cheap because it is cheap okay put that in like that CPU cooler goes on CPU cooler says hello and on then you say cool CPU cooler you are on ok now your CPU cooler should be on like that should be in nice and firm I do recommend the spread method though taking your time with thermal paste and doing the spread method I'm just sort of sort of slapping it on here just because this is going to be a home theater PC and I don't really care too much about over clocks on this so the RAM the next part is the RAM we're going to put the RAM in now with the RAM I want you guys to look at the how the socket is here you can see here there's a long part and a short part same with your RAM there'll be a long part and a short part so as you do as you put that in like that and sort of get it in there to get it ready put your thumbs on both the edges and just push it in like that and you should hear those click in and it should be fine now another thing with RAM is to if your motherboard has four sockets of RAM generally use the socket to the closest to the CPU and it should be in color code so there should be black and blue you want to put your black and red or whatever you want to put your RAM in the channels that are matching colors so there may be a gap in between for instance if this one's black and this one's red this one's black then you want to put your RAM in slot 1 and 3 so that's just it's called dual channel memory so this one's only got two sockets so it doesn't matter my channels my Ram is going to run in dual channel anyway and yeah that's that that's the first part done so that's the motherboard with the RAM installed and the CPU cooler on and it's ready to go in the case so the next part I like to do now is I'll bring in this in for you guys the next part I like to do here so we go on fully uncut beby is we're going to bring the camera in here and we're going to install the power supply so power supplies are pretty straightforward to install this one is a bottom mount power supply so you may have a top mount power supply it doesn't really matter so I want you guys now to put your power supply in like this or however it goes in it should be going in like this anyway there's many cables and stuff and goddamn the microphones getting in the way okay so it goes in here like this I'm just going to manhandle it in here so it should go in here and it should line up and then you should get your screws out here and just be careful not to drop them everywhere because you're going to need them for your build so get your screws it should have came with the power supply or the motherboard or the case generally it comes with the case or your screws is the four that I need so these are the four screws for the power supply and the power supply should match up to the holes here so when you see all the holes match up and you can start putting the screws in and screwing them off like so magnetized screwdriver comes in handy just make sure you don't cross thread the screws or put them in on a diagonal make sure they're going straight my mom yeah this is the probably the most painful thing about installing a computer for me is just screws they're so little and they're so fiddly I usually hate putting screws in yeah these ones are nice and big and easy to put in so that one's got to go in again so hopefully you guys can see that I'll pull it out a little bit so you just install your power supply like there like that okay house light is in and we are good to go okay and now when you screw screws off the biggest thing you want to make sure you're doing is you're screwing them reasonably tight and by that you're just like this until until sort of your wrist meets resistance then you can stop so that's sort of meeting resistance there that one's pretty good that one's pretty good now and that one's pretty good so power supplies in ready to go I will zoom out for you guys a little bit so you see it in there now all the cables you can just get them out the way because the next part is going to involve us getting our case like here and I want you guys now to pull the some cases don't have these a lot of the newer cases coming out today don't even need these but just since this case does and since some of the cases that you guys have are going to need these screws I want you to get these screws out here they're like these hexagonal gold sort of screws here so I'm going to need I don't know how many I'm going to need but I'm going to pull them all out and get them ready so I've got eight of them here and now what I want to do is before I put them in I just want to line up and see where I need to put them as my motherboard actually has a lot of different holes here so what I'm going to do is I usually get my motherboard with cases like these and I put it in like so and I just match up the holes so motherboard is going to go pretty much smooth them down a little bit motherboard is going to go here to motherboard is going to go here and now I've got a hole here one I've got a hole here too I've got a hole here three four five six so I'm going to need six screws I'm going to need six of these hexagonal screws and I'm going to have to put them in here so you just remember where you need to put them in and then you put them in so you can do this a few times if you forget where you exactly need to put your screws in but since I remembered I can put these six screws in here here here and here so this is going to take a little while but it should be just remember just take your time with this you don't have to rush it you don't have to that one seems to have cross threaded itself this is this is not a brand new case by the way fellas so this ain't a new kicks god dammit sand a new case but it will work like one so now that that's there we've got the six screws in ready to go that match the six screws here on my motherboard we can then put the motherboard in and get it ready now if your motherboard did come with a bracket here you can put that in here so there might be a bracket that you can put in here if you have one of them put them in by all means I don't have one as I lost it so I won't unfortunately be putting it in however we do have now we have to get out another six screws so with our screws that came with the case we can get out eleven II I think I've only actually got six of these screws so I got to get these screws now that plug into those hexagonal screws that we had before so it's pretty simple it's just now this is where the magnetized screwdriver really comes in handy if you drop a screw as it really starts to get annoying this stage so what you want to do is you want to put in this one here I usually just put the one in the bottom right corner in and the top left corner in first and that generally gives the model it stops the motherboard from shaking so I just line that up if you have washers as well then try to put washers in as well try to put the washers on but they generally yeah they should I mean if you have washers yet put them on I just don't have any so my experience it doesn't really matter if you're a cow cases earth anywhere it shouldn't be a problem here we go so it's putting those screws in there again wrist tight you see me tightening them here I'm going to risk just tighten them reasonably tight reasonably tight like Austin Powers reasonably tweet so that's this one going in okay I think this screw is actually the wrong signs god damn ghetto screw go in there I think it went in now this one's a bit of a pain up here in the top right depending on your case like you can see here my screwdriver actually isn't even split of clipping that screw yeah it's still going in nonetheless and this one should go in like so okay so there we have it motherboard in motherboard okay we're all good to go that parts done now the next part we can do is take a step back grab this drive bay out and I have an SSD so I'm gonna have to mount this SSD to this hard drive tray and I'm going to mount it this way since the power and the Saito connection are here so I just going to take a step back here put that there and just grab two screws because it's an SSD it's actually got no moving parts so I only really need to put two screws in here on one on the diagonal here and another on the other diagonal so I'll just show you guys like that this is actually a bit of a pain in the ass so yeah like screwing things will take you for me it takes the longest amount of time because yeah I have really rough hands so delicate things like this always take time for me okay so because I want in like that okay now I'm using an SSD for this build usually you probably have a mechanical hard drive if you do then that should go in even easier because most of these hard drive trays are three and a half inches wide this is only two and a half inches wide this SSD so unfortunately it needs to have a few screws so I guess this case you could say that this case I'm using today is semi screws it's actually not fully screwless so like that we're just putting the SSD bay in and another note is we will get our cd-rom drive in as well so yeah okay this is the bit where I feel retarded because this is not okay okay it's going in now hallelujah okay so there's your SSD drive ready to go we again just put that on the right here back in here so that's done that's our SSD ready to go DVD Drive up the top here focus in or zoom in there DVD drive is going to go up the top here since this is a screwless case I can just take this off here and then I can put the DVD drive in like this so pretty very straightforward it's also got screw holes as well however I generally only use my DVD drive for an OS install and then I take it out anyway so with this screwless thing it's actually got things that's kind of they kind of like screws that clip in like screws and then you sort of lock them like that and that's really quick so that shouldn't be a problem now the next part of the build is so we're just about finished here with the actual sort of installing components we're actually going to get a sound card in so since this is going to be a home theater PC for me I'm actually going to install a sound card and also my graphics card so you can go just can do this in any order you want you can install the graphics card first or the sound card first I'll probably install the sound card first so I will take this thing off here so you can take these off and bend them off and get them out which I'm going to do here there it is comes off and we just put the sound card in like this so hopefully you guys can see that grab the sound card put it into the PCI Express like this and it's in like that clearing that heatsink no problems and since this is actually a screwless on the rear here it's actually got it like a screwless kind of support mechanism we can just use that for this since the sound card is pretty sorry since the sound card is pretty lightweight that screwless thing there will actually hold it in place however the for the gravis card we do not want to use since this is a big gravis card it's a GTX 670 so I let you go and have a look at that this graphics card is a monster so we're not going to use the screwless design on the case we're going to actually put two little screws in the side to secure the graphics card in so here we go here we'll just put the graphics card in like this okay and when we just screw the graphics card off and secure that in with two screws if you have a smaller graphics card that's really light then you can use the screwless mechanism it's up to you guys but this is really basic and simple oh god that's a big graphics card am just trumps over this motherboard this motherboard socket fm1 and this is an a8 3 800 Cirie's APU but anyway so there's a graphics card there's the sound card installed now the next part you guys want to do this is the fun part is you want to start installing all the cables so here we have the cables here all the power cables can start going on now since this is a 650 watt power supply it does have a lot of clutter and it's not modular so you want to grab your case here and run all these cables through the rear so like this get all your cables you can now kind of run them through the rear here this is a penny bit of a family asses this step so just be careful and make sure you don't actually break anything you're doing try to show you guys what's going on here I'm just bringing this through the rear like now I'm not actually going to do cable management for you guys because that takes my microphones clipping off clipping off man microphones clipping off okay it should be good now so we got the case here we got it ready like that now what we want to do here is basically start bringing the cables in through these sleeves here and plugging them in to where we need them so alright so I've pulled up a picture here for you guys because unfortunately my camera overheated and I didn't realize until right at the end so this here is basically you've got the 80 X 24 pin in white now that's a big power cable it usually comes in a 20+4 pin configuration and I thankfully I just was I just had enough cable lengths to run it through the back if you don't have enough cable length and don't be afraid to run it straight over the gravis card and straight into the board so yeah that's the first thing you want to connect and when you connect these power connect power cables make sure the power is off so that's just something to be mindful of and also at the top left in red is the CPU eight pin so this usually comes in two by four pin configuration and they'll go right next to each other and they should slot straight in I unfortunately didn't have enough length to run this through the rear I had to run this straight over the graphics card as you'll see later and then the next part is in green in the green text with the arrow pointing is the PCI Express pins now these plug up to your graphics card and they usually come in six pin or eight pin if they come in an eight pin configuration they usually come with a six plus two pin configuration so as you can see here mine actually requires two because it's a pretty high-end graphics card and it uses a lot of power so I actually have to plug a six pin and an eight into this if you have a lower round graphics card you can generally they run off the motherboards power and so don't be surprised if your graphics card doesn't have one of these PCI Express pins it's nothing to worry about most mid-range cards generally require one six pin so that's just yet something to be mindful of so once you plug them in they should be okay mine thankfully I was able to run this through the rear and plug it straight in as well so I did have an off cable length there now the last part is the SATA power connectors now these are usually really thin and really elongated and they've got a little L so these are unique in their own right and they plug straight into usually they plug into your hard drives or your DVD drives so as we see here my SSD is the it needs one of these and also my DVD right up the top that's going to require one as well so I've plugged one into that and one into the one into my SSD and one into the DVD drive up the top now let's move on to the next stage where my camera started yeah well I got footage working again so let's move on ok so now that I have the DVD drive installed with the SATA cable look at the SSD install the SATA cable I can now begin to do the final stage which is plugging up the actual SATA cables to the motherboard so I just put that one in like that goes into the end here it'll plug into the solder port here so generally you want your SD on the first side of port which will be labeled solder one or SATA 2 and that's what I'm going to use so it's going to put my solder cable into the SSD like that not like that again yeah there we go one in okay and like that wait this ain't going in so I'm going to put this one here and put this one here since I don't have any extra SATA cables and this one's like a hook hook shaped sided cable okay so there we go SATA cables in DVD drives in SATA cables going to do is you're over here that's on side a port for this is on side a port ones it is on the first side of ports going to mass sd things are good to go we're almost already the last part of the build now is I'll try and show you guys is to actually get these little cables hooked up these little ones now these will go down the bottom of your motherboard generally so I'll try and get you guys a good look in here this is probably in my opinion this is one of the biggest pains in the asses of installing computers so you'll have all your power cables here you got fan looks like fan controllers which I don't I'm not going to bother with this is only home theater PC we got the HDD LED power switch which is important and power LED and the reset switch so these will all go in one thing here which is this one here as it's got the part it's got in real small writing it's got the labels there and the power LED is at the top which is positive and that's the green and the white is negative so I'm going to take it that the from infant ring from inferencing this one I'm going to take that be led I mean the black and they get white are your negatives on the other switches as well so let's just put those in there like that okay that's it you can use tweezers if you want to I've done this enough that I'm sort of used to it now so power button is right next to it and the reset switch is in the ah ah so I'm guessing it goes like that and the power switch goes like that okay so the power switch goes in here your motherboard should come with a manual that lets you know which one goes to which I'm doing a little bit of guesswork but it should be fine and HDD led so it goes in there like that okay there we go so those are in there now this is your USB front panel USB so that can just go to a USB port over here there's one over here it should be straight you can just match that one that's the corner and there's no corner there so I can just put that straight in as you can see it's clipping my video card which is actually not good ok another USB just plug that straight in again like so ok and HD audio so there we go HD audio goes in here like this okay yeah these are graphics cards in the way it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to get gone but that's it guys that's all finished so there you have it the computer build is all good and ready to go cable management I can do that as I recommend in all my other builds cable management I recommend doing it later when you guys know that your computer is working everything is working perfectly for instance if your power supply is faulty and you've done cable management you have to pull that cable management apart again so cable management we can see that for another day if you guys want to see a cable management guide I can do one with this PC but here it is here it's all finished it's all good to go now I just got to put the cases all the panels back on and that's pretty much it finish off this PC so put them on the way they came on make that DVD drive works cool everything works pretty everything works pretty good everything feels pretty sturdy and the we are good do so you can whack these fans here they can actually plug into a fan the molex cables that I had before I'll just quickly run them through the back for you guys here yeah this case and this power supply unfortunately the length of the cables on this power supply are pretty short which doesn't leave or doesn't let me have that good of cable management or allow me to have such a great options for doing good cable management if you guys want to have good cable management then you probably want to buy a better case than the one I'm using here and you also probably want to get a power supply it's modular as well so anyway this is this one finished so I'm just plugging in the case fans here you guys can see that there okay that's done all right put that side panel back like that okay put the other side panel on the rear back on so like this I'll show you guys here it's gonna be a bit of a bad fit because the cables are running out the rear that it'll fit on nonetheless get a cable management for you guys there it's pretty bad I mean yeah you should do it I just want to get finished and boot it up and make sure everything's okay so when you first boot it up you want to go into boss and make sure that your DVD drive is priority boot and so this PC is good to go there you go guys that's a finished PC that's ready to boot if you did like this guide and please give it a thumbs up if you have any questions please leave a comment in the comment section below yeah this so I'll be I'm always here to help you guys I hope you enjoyed this this is just build a PC for a noob it was completely uncut and so don't you know don't be afraid to take your time and look at the steps that I did and follow them and you know if you have problems like it you sell me out plug in cables in there sometimes they are annoying to get plugged in but you know that's what happens when you build pcs it's not to worry so you know there's the uncut full version of how to build a PC so my baby he ripped off these front panels here for the DVD drive so this case has seen better days and I will be coming back to you guys soon with how to get buuut times how to boot your pc up a lot of people been asking me how to boot up your pc fast you know the budget builds coming out everything's gonna be coming out for you guys soon if you have any requests let me know in the comment section below or send me a PM I've always doing requests for you guys that's what I'm here for here's a PC ready to go this is my home theater PC I'm actually going to take that graphics card out because my GTX 670 is still my main graphics card for gaming on my older PC there we go so there you have it that's how to build a PC and ya took about half an hour probably bit longer there not to worry so once the computer is all built all you have to do is press the power button and your computer should turn on and I want you guys to go into the BIOS so once you start it up here you just hit the Delete key on your keyboard and you want to enter the BIOS so I'll get I'll zoom in for you guys here you want to enter BIOS so hopefully that goes in there yeah and so once we enter boss all we have to do is change a setting because it usually it doesn't make a big difference but it's something that I like to do is I like to go to advanced storage configuration and just change this one to a HCI mode and then you can just also what else I like to do is I like to if you can see here you can also see my first site of Portus is my my c drive or my SSD and then also you just go into boot and we select this time around I'm going to be booting off the DVD Drive first so I want to boot off the DVD Drive and then exit Save Changes and exit and that's it I also might play around with this I'll just play around with this - I'm going to have maybe an overclock tutorial for the AMD APU since I haven't really used it that much but I'd like to sort of overclock it and tweak it so we're going to boot from the CD and that's it guys that's about it so you boot you you boot your OS install your OS and that's about it so know you guys if you have any questions please leave a comment in the comment section below or PM me if it's urgent and if you liked this video please give it a big thumbs up as it took me a long time to do for you guys and that's about it guys if you haven't already subscribe to take your city that's if you like my videos and you want to keep watching them be greatly appreciated as I love helping you guys out and I'll be coming back with a few more juicy videos for you guys soon anyway peace out for now marine easy bite oh and sorry one last thing to once your OS is installed you can change that boot priority back to your C Drive well your SSD or your hard drive and then leave your D your D Drive or your cd-rom burn on DVD burner not last so here's that's a final tip just thought I'd share that anyway be
