8:09
we're going to try another game how about this client i quit you just quit
8:12
your job just like that okay so dennis and i are doing our free
8:17
build challenge now to see who can build the best rig the fastest wait none of
8:22
the there's no pc here that works they're all just
8:26
computer cases check your oh here here on the show no no the
8:30
closet over there yep there you go wow so i can just put in like the best stuff
8:35
i whatever i want okay oh god oh
8:38
hyper beast no i don't want that i hate you ah okay fine fine fine i'm putting a
8:42
thousand dollar power supply in my system all right this yeah okay try gun
8:47
thing yeah we're going oh we're going x three nine one
8:51
x three nine okay what do you have to do first you have to put uh motherboard motherboard i know i
8:57
know multiple is cool oh inaccurate inaccurate this motherboard
9:02
does not have a screw hole here this hasn't been used since like Intel
9:07
branded boards this system is going to break immediately
9:11
because it'll short out the back of the board because i have an extra standoff
9:15
in it yeah you only need like four screws
9:19
i'm not i'm not like this 50x
9:23
dennis dennis i'm putting on thermal paste already that's a Gigabyte ga okay
9:28
what processor can you put in there i don't know oh man there's so many memory
9:32
clips right oh tedious they all look the same
9:36
i need a what's that called paste no you need to put the processor in
9:40
there first you don't have a processor in there you need a paste to put a processor
9:45
right wait i'm right i'm not joking you have
9:51
to open him put the space in put the CPU
9:56
what's wrong with that
10:01
okay five five fine i'll pick one i'll get ryzen 5 quad core
10:06
1400 i don't know if that's cool but that sounds cool
10:10
meanwhile i just put uh 128 gigs of RAM into my system
10:16
i know what you mean okay yeah yeah i do i saw the paces
10:19
before the CPU okay oh my god that was so stupid see that oh that's right baby
10:27
don't drop it
10:31
is that that's enough um it's like a yeah okay i have a rice yeah okay i want
10:36
maybe what color should i go um purple i don't like purple though oh man
10:41
this is actually okay you have to like take off the backpack
10:44
i know i know i know what's next you do that you do that and
10:48
oh no don't tell me i know it doesn't fit
10:52
that's the wrong hole rims are the shorter memory of the pcs
10:59
and you don't need any paste in the memory slot before you put it in i know
11:03
do you do you know
11:07
the the holes don't fit
11:10
i mean it doesn't let me put it it doesn't let
11:14
me put it in you can actually connect like your fan hub oh my god
11:19
wow so my cabling can actually be neat too
11:23
so i can connect my phone hub to the board
11:26
and then i can connect all my fans to the hub nice that's so detailed i
11:30
actually have to open the quick thing
11:34
the next one i know
11:38
this one is GPU no you always say GPU last right wow maybe he did pick
11:43
something up in the last three years right
11:46
uh i'll do some uh hard drive
11:50
why a hard drive and an SSD
11:54
aya SSD don't change my mind
11:58
there's no SSD anyways
12:02
oh this oh my god i'm pointing at it
12:05
okay i got it i got it power supply power supply didn't have enough SATA
12:10
ports on this board for all my drives although
12:13
funnily enough if i zoom in on the board
12:17
it looks like it does have enough it just doesn't know that so i was right
12:21
game was wrong just want to make sure
12:24
that the record straight here i feel that's you
12:28
you feel that too what are you even talking about okay i'm gonna get a
12:32
graphics card 1080 candy's cool maybe
12:37
1080s for hosers
12:41
other motherboard
12:48
done look at those art oh look at those light
12:53
up fans baby dennis look
12:56
you lost the game man i would wait before can you look at my
13:00
look at my set out all right well you're short of RAM stick
13:03
for one thing wow i only got three yeah that's
13:07
wrong why is that wrong i only need three for what
13:11
what do you mean i need i just want three okay i have more do i need more well
13:17
there's only three slots i guarantee you there's another slot
13:21
oh yeah it's hiding i saw it it's there
13:26
so in a nutshell
13:29
you know what actually a lot cooler than i thought it would be
13:35
you're not actually going to learn how to be a pc tech and you're not going to
13:39
be able to jump right from pc building simulator into building your own
13:43
computer there are some fairly significant oversights
13:46
as a way to kind of fool around and get comfortable with the idea of digging a
13:50
little deeper watching maybe one of our videos on how to build a pc
13:55
