    Right off the bat - I appreciate that while you sell screwdrivers and cable ties, you didn't immediately bombard a potential first time PC builder to product plugs.
  • @Captain-Dju
    11:13 Yep, I built my new PC a couple of weeks ago with my kids, and during the theoretical intro, I clearly mentioned that the removal of the peel was one of THE most critical step. As soon as the cooler was in place, I wanted to start screwing it on the mounting brackets, but my son shyly told me "Dad, didn't you say you had to remove the peel?" That's how my 10 year old saved my latest build, and every time he games on it he very proudly reminds me of that fact :)
  • @kirmityou
    I've built dozens of PCs and still watched the whole vid, great job! It's exactly what a lot of first time builders miss from usual guides.
  • I love how every time you make one of these, it is supposedly the final one anyone will ever need, yet another one comes out every year. Many people seem to take it as an offense, but tbh, I said that because I enjoyed watching these every time a new one comes out, hope this clears the air!
  • @litojonny
    i literally built my new PC 3 days ago! a tip i would recommend is whenever you open a box, TAKE A PICTURE of all the baggies you have inside
  • @Sparkie904
    The videos they posted about two years ago is how I got into PC building. And now I am addicted to building PCs.
  • @mythicul
    I remember the last one of these, watched it many times. Love how this one is also a reasonably priced build we could make as well
  • @pvtpain66k
    26:50 I love that Adam is there, like a parent who's required to be here.

  • I can watch those "how to build a PC" videos by Linus forever, no matter how many of them are there. Even though im a ps5 and switch player, im planning to build a PC in near future for myself and those guides are so handy. Also atmosphere in LTT videos are so much fun, you can tell that this is a team of dedicated people that love their craft.
  • I’ve built several computers and don’t need this. Why am I watching it start to finish? Excellent production values on this. Love the visual highlights and pacing. Lighting was excellent as well which is really easy to take for granted given how wildly different this is from the normal perspective.
  • @squeakyknee
    Really glad you all make these. I consume so much tech media, yet I was still super nervous building my first PC. So I did a ton of research on parts and plugs etc. and when it came time to actually build I watched the last FP PC build you all made and it helped so much and made me a lot less nervous!
  • @Goddeh1
    Legend says that this is the final build guide you'd ever need 👌
  • @refaelgez
    This is a brilliant idea! I'm a laptop man myself but if I would choose to build my first pc this is definitely the very first guide I would use... Thank you for being awesome!!!
  • @stefanro4289
    You guys are a God sent, i am going to build my new setup in a few weeks and i was looking for a good set of tutorials for a while
  • Not only have I missed seeing a comprehensive build/build guide on the main channel in a hot second (and yes, stans, my memory may well be failing me even though I do watch most of the videos), I am ecstatic at how clearly and plainly this one is explained, and the FPV is such a great boon, not to mention the little helpful tips like "this may take more force than you expect" (because it will)!
  • @supernumex
    1:12 CAUTION NOTE! you do NOT need to turn on the power supply for the chassis ground to work. In fact you probably DON"T want to turn it on especially if you're reaching into the power supply with the alligator clip on the ESD strap!!
