How to build a PC in 2023, Part 2: A Step-by-Step Guide
In Part one of How to build a PC, I covered bits of information on what each part does, I touched on my thought process on how to choose the right PC parts for your budget, I talked about compatibility issues that might rise up, and finally, I spoke about sticking to your budget and what kind of upgrades you can make to your PC build if you come in under it.
Now that I have all the PC components, I'm ready to build, and in today’s video, I’ll be doing just that: building the Budget Gaming PC. As I do, I’ll talk about each part of the PC assembly process from initial CPU installation to first boot, to the most daunting of tasks for any PC build—cable management.
While this video is a how-to guide on how to build a PC for new PC builders, it might also bring up some points about the building process even veteran builders might find interesting. Welcome to the #middleofknowhere .
