Hi everybody! This video is part 3 in a series of how to build a PC. In part 1 I spoke about choosing your components, compatibility issues that might come up, and how to stick to your budget. In part 2 I went over step by step on how to build a PC, and for this series I built a budget gaming PC that should perform very well in 1080p gaming on medium to high settings. In part 3 of this series, I'll cover installing Windows and other software, setting up the BIOS, and I'll also provide benchmark results showing how well the budget gaming pc performed and go over what went well, what didn't, and what I'd change for future builds.

Welcome to the #middleofknowhere.
