0:19
uh honey did you put that in the water before
0:23
sponsored by Intel and their x-series processor family learn more about their
0:27
most powerful lineup of processors at the link below
0:39
this bin right here has most of the stuff we're going to need for today
0:43
and then this right here is the case that we're going to build the computer
0:46
in can you carry this for me
0:50
no thanks it's too heavy
0:53
uh can you carry this for me
1:00
great job okay should we head downstairs and start
1:03
building yeah okay which one is the right one well
1:09
honestly the one that was on there already is probably the right one see i
1:13
knew you knew what it was for
1:17
the screws that's right okay
1:20
so something i have to do is take a couple of screws out of here before we
1:25
start so can i borrow that sure
1:28

2:30
those are for plugging in headphones and microphones
2:34
and speakers
2:38

4:12
power supply Corsair sent over their sf600
4:16
zotac sent over their gtx 1080 ti arctic
4:20
storm mini this is just about the most
4:23
powerful graphics card you can get all the things on it yeah it has a lot
4:29
of screws it does you work on those
4:32

4:36
her to work on uh mostly thomas from cablemod
4:40
did us up some special cables for our power supply too
4:44
do you like them are they pretty pink and white like the
4:49

6:00
power cables for our graphics card do you want to help me with that
6:04

6:12
dual eight pins for the graphics card our eight pin for the motherboard and our 24 pin here this is coming together
6:17

7:14
about building a computer is that you actually don't do a lot of

oh keep that out of the water please don't
8:10
