Building a Gaming PC: A Comprehensive Guide

When it comes to building a gaming PC, there are many factors to consider. From choosing the right components to ensuring proper airflow and cable management, every detail matters. In this article, we will take you through the entire process of building a gaming PC, from preparing the case to powering on the system and testing its performance.

Preparing the Case

The first step in building a gaming PC is to prepare the case. This involves removing any components that have already been used in previous builds, such as screws or other hardware. Once the case is clean and free of debris, you can begin installing the new components.

Installing the Graphics Card

One of the most exciting parts of building a gaming PC is installing the graphics card. This is where things get really satisfying, as the GPU is going to fit perfectly into the chassis with a delightful click sound. To secure the GPU in place, use this screw. Make sure it's snug and comfortable, just like you would want your favorite gaming chair.

Giving the Graphics Card Power

Now that the graphics card is installed, it's time to give it power. This is where things get really exciting, as you'll be able to see the performance of your new system in action. Remember, without power, your graphics card won't perform at its best, so make sure to hook it up properly.

Booting Up the System

With all the components installed and powered on, it's time to boot up the system. This is where things get really satisfying, as you'll be able to see your new PC come to life. Make sure everything is plugged in correctly and that the power button is functioning properly before hitting that power button.

Benchmarking the System

Now that the system is powered on, it's time to test its performance. We'll take a look at 15 of the latest and most popular AAA titles, including Grand Theft Auto V, Watch Dogs: Legion, Call of Duty: Cold War, Apex Legends, Cyberpunk 2077, and Fortnite. Each game will be run in a variety of settings, from low to high, to give us an idea of how the system performs under different conditions.

Taking a Closer Look at the Benchmark Results

Let's take a closer look at some of the benchmark results for each game. First up is Grand Theft Auto V, which ran smoothly at 1440p high settings with an average frame rate of 105 FPS. The 90th percentile result was a respectable 95 FPS, while the 99th percentile result came in at a blistering 82 FPS.

Next up is Watch Dogs: Legion, which ran well at 1440p very high settings with RTX on, but struggled to maintain a consistent frame rate below 40 FPS. Turning off RTX and running the game at 1080p resulted in much better performance, with an average frame rate of 79 FPS.

Call of Duty's Cold War was next, and ran smoothly at 1440p high settings with an average frame rate of 128 FPS. The 90th percentile result was a respectable 108 FPS, while the 99th percentile result came in at a solid 99 FPS.

Apex Legends was another game that ran well, with an average frame rate of 124 FPS at 1440p high settings. Turning off RTX and running the game at 1080p resulted in much better performance, with an average frame rate of 150 FPS.

Cyberpunk 2077 was a bit more challenging to run, but still managed to deliver impressive results. At 1080p high, we saw an average frame rate of 82 FPS, while at 1440p medium settings with RTX on, the average frame rate dropped to 68 FPS.

Finally, we have Fortnite, which ran well at both 1080p high and competitive settings, with an average frame rate of 114 FPS at 1080p high. Running the game at 1440p high settings resulted in an impressive average frame rate of 147 FPS.

Conclusion

And that's it for today's article on building a gaming PC! We hope you found our guide informative and helpful in getting started with your own build. Remember to always follow proper safety precautions when working with electronics, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Happy building!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ensomeone's watching a message it's time to build the best value rtx 3060 ti gaming pc build i could put together for around about 950 in this build i'm going to be taking you over all the parts i selected and why the build process from start to finish before booting this machine up to see exactly how it performs in a load of the most popular aaa titles without any further ado though let's dive into it after a quick word from today's video sponsor corsair's new iq 5000x chassis puts your system on display front and center out with three rgb fans up front great water cooling support and even room for a 360mm rod beside the motherboard tray stacks of cable management room and a door at the back to keep drives and cables tidy makes it easy for you to put your system not your cables front and center it's also available in a mesh airflow variant and you can learn more at the links below as always i'm going to kick today's build off by installing as many components into the motherboard as possible this is one of gigabyte's cheapest and best value b450 boards and not only supports ryzen 3000 but also ryzen 5000 as well just like a b550 inside the box you get an io shield we'll use that a little bit later as well as the motherboard itself we're going to install our cpu choice today amd's ryzen 5 3600 into the motherboard i line up the gold triangle on the processor with the corresponding triangle on the motherboard socket pull up the cpu retention arm and then very simply drop the chip nicely into place pop the arm back down and we're good to go this six core 12 thread chip can be overclocked to get it close to the 3600x and is much much better value than the new ryzen 5000 series i'm going to be coupling it with a 16 gigabyte 3600 megahertz kit of rgb ram from t-force team group delta it looks great and it's also going to perform well with that fast megahertz speed and is installed super easily by pulling back all of the retention clips on both of our randoms and then aligning this gold notch with the corresponding notch on the dimm slot itself line up the ram click it into place with pressure on each side and it really is as simple as that finally the last component to install on the motherboard is the cooler i've opted to stick with the included stock cooler this is great value keeps the cpu impressively cool and quiet and it's really easy to install normally it will come with thermal paste pre-applied on the bottom but because i've used this one before i just need to pop on a dab of my own that is more than enough and the cooler is then easily installed by lining up the four black screws with the four holes on the motherboard lining up the amd logo with the left side of the board nearer the i o and then screwing down in a cross pattern do this corner by corner to make your life super easy and then plug up the cpu caller fan header we're then gonna go ahead and move the board assembly as we're gonna call it into our chassis now we're going to start off by taking off all of the side panels of this case and specifically this is cooler masters mb320 al they do a great airflow version as well called the mb311l and you can learn more about this case in my recent top five case roundup video basically it's the best case i've ever tested under sixty dollars and i don't really need to say much more than that the latest pricing and availability can be found check the links in the description below once we've done this we're then just going to go ahead and check which standoffs are pre-installed in the case so you can see here we've got three at the top three in the middle and two at the bottom and this happens to perfectly line up with our motherboards we've got two at the top here we've got another two in the middle and another two at the bottom the bonus one can stay in and basically that allows us to just slide the motherboard in and screw it into place but first we just need to go ahead and pop the io shield in this goes to the back of the case through this little cutout right here and clips in super easily that allows us then to just slide the motherboard in and secure it down through those standoffs a little something like this okay then with the motherboard now installed i'm next going to install the storage i've gone for a seagate barracuda compute two and a half inch ssd you can find it in either 480 gig or 960 gig capacities and while an nvme drive is going to be fast at it's also going to cost you quite a lot more money if we're being honest installing it in this chassis is actually really easy we're going to take these tiny included little ssd stoppers and they go on the bottom of the drive and once we've done that those stoppers then just slide on through these four rubber holes on the top of the power supply shield speaking of power supplies let's plug up our power supply next before finally rounding off on our graphics card when it comes to psus for this build you've got a couple of options i've got bitfenix's formula 650 gold but something like the cooler master mwe 650 gold v2 is also a great choice just don't go too cheap on your power supply and try and stick with 650 watts or more for an rtx 3060 ti the psu is going to slide in front facing downwards through the rear side of the chassis and can then be secured down in these four screw hole locations take your time do this in a cross pattern but once again super easy and that really is all there is to it and once the power supply is in we're just going to plug up the cpu power connector and motherboard power cables in the top left and center right hand side respectively and then we're also going to round off by plugging up the rest of our cables hd audio usb 3 and jfp1 our front panel connectors are the first on the list today and all plugged in a little something like this we're also going to power up the saturn ssd with a satellite cable and then finally plug a sata data cable from the drive into the motherboard and with that it's basically time to install the graphics card specifically this is the card i've selected it's gigabytes eagle oc 3060 ti it's got an rrp 10 above the founders 36 dti but has a slightly higher boost clock speed which gives us a little bit more performance and also has quite a nice call out now i know gpu stock is really really difficult at the moment and i know that me being here going oh here's a whole build for the price of like a 30 90 on ebay is a bit you know it's a difficult one right but these cards are great there's a reason they're selling out aside from crypto and that's because they are fantastic cards they perform so well at rrp there's such amazing value though for up-to-date pricing on everything i'll talk about today please find the links down in the description below installing the gpu is pretty easy line up the notch on gpu this one just about here and then push back the notch on the pcie slot of your motherboard make sure you've removed the slot covers at the back of the case these ones have already been taken out because we've used this case in a few builds previously the gpu is then going to slot very nicely into the chassis with a satisfying click sound you then want to secure the gpu in with this screw a little something like this and then finally remember to give it gpu power to make sure the graphics card is powered up and ready to go on that note though that pretty much wraps it up for the entire build process let's boot it up and see how it performs in a load of the most popular and latest aaa titles but first how good it looks when it's all powered up and there's only one way to do that and that's to roll the montage is all right then now we've seen just how good this system looks when it's all powered up and gone through the build process let's take a dive and see exactly how it performs on your screen now is a snapshot view with all of our different gaming benchmark results in around 15 of the latest and the most popular aaa titles if you'd like to see the full unedited benchmark runs of every single game today all 15 then check out the playlist in the card section now and make sure to get subscribed to our new youtube channel called benched but now let's take a look at six of these titles in a little bit more detail and see really how good this system looks at those high frame rates the grand theft auto 5 inbuilt benchmarking mode was the first test today 1440p high settings gave us 105 fps on average with 95 and 82 frames per second for the 90 and 99th percentile results respectively the next title we tested today is watchdogs legions first at 1440p very high settings with rtx on and here we got 43 41 and 39. now james these are a bit low and indeed they are drop down to 1080 and you're going to get better results with rtx enabled but turn rtx off and stay at 1440p and we jump right up to 79 74 and 70 fps for the average 90 and 99th percentile results call of duty's cold war was next today specifically the multiplayer zombies online mode and here we got some really encouraging results 1440p high settings gave us 128 fps on average with 108 and 99 for the 90 and 99 percentile results and the game looked fantastic next up today is apex legends here at 1440p high settings we got 124 fps on average with 109 and 95 following closely behind once again tune down to 1080p and you'll break the 150 fps barrier but here at 1440p the game looked great cyberpunk is the next total today and talking to 1080p we did test it at both resolutions it's a more difficult game to run and is famously littered with bugs but the campaign is fantastic and at 1080p high we got some great results 82 71 and 66 to be precise on the frame rate front go up to 1440p with rtx and here we do see a frame rate drop down to 68 60 and 53 but to get 68 frames per second on average with rtx on at 1440p medium settings is a really great result here fortnight then is the final game we tested today and we did this at both 1080p high and 1080p competitive settings and then at 1440p high settings too 1080p high first of all gave us 114 fps on average with 105 and 99 for the 90 and 99 percentile results measured in nvidia's frame view application and tuned down to 1080p low settings across the board but with 3d resolution at 100 render distance at far aka competitive settings and here we go 164 150 and 137 fps respectively finally then we also tested it at 1440p we want to see you know just how it does perform and here at 1440p we got 147 fps on average really a great result actually with 137 and 127. here we're seeing the 3060 ti perform great at that 1440p resolution which not only gives you that frame rate upside that you wouldn't see with 4k but also gives you that really nice visual fidelity improvement that you wouldn't get with 1080p and on that note that pretty much wraps it up not only for the game and benchmarks today but for the whole video if you didn't enjoy it you know what to do get a big old lightray and make sure to get subscribed if you somehow aren't already thanks for watching though and as always

motherboard make sure you've removed the slot covers at the back of the case these ones have already been taken out because we've used this case in a few builds previously the gpu is then going to slot very nicely into the chassis with a satisfying click sound you then want to secure the gpu in with this screw a little something like this and then finally remember to give it gpu power to make sure the graphics card is powered up and ready to go on that note though that pretty much wraps it up for the entire build process let's boot it up and see how it performs in a load of the most popular and latest aaa titles but first how good it looks when it's all powered up and there's only one way to do that and that's to roll the montage is all right then now we've seen just how good this system looks when it's all powered up and gone through the build process let's take a dive and see exactly how it performs on your screen now is a snapshot view with all of our different gaming benchmark results in around 15 of the latest and the most popular aaa titles if you'd like to see the full unedited benchmark runs of every single game today all 15 then check out the playlist in the card section now and make sure to get subscribed to our new youtube channel called benched but now let's take a look at six of these titles in a little bit more detail and see really how good this system looks at those high frame rates the grand theft auto 5 inbuilt benchmarking mode was the first test today 1440p high settings gave us 105 fps on average with 95 and 82 frames per second for the 90 and 99th percentile results respectively the next title we tested today is watchdogs legions first at 1440p very high settings with rtx on and here we got 43 41 and 39. now james these are a bit low and indeed they are drop down to 1080 and you're going to get better results with rtx enabled but turn rtx off and stay at 1440p and we jump right up to 79 74 and 70 fps for the average 90 and 99th percentile results call of duty's cold war was next today specifically the multiplayer zombies online mode and here we got some really encouraging results 1440p high settings gave us 128 fps on average with 108 and 99 for the 90 and 99 percentile results and the game looked fantastic next up today is apex legends here at 1440p high settings we got 124 fps on average with 109 and 95 following closely behind once again tune down to 1080p and you'll break the 150 fps barrier but here at 1440p the game looked great cyberpunk is the next total today and talking to 1080p we did test it at both resolutions it's a more difficult game to run and is famously littered with bugs but the campaign is fantastic and at 1080p high we got some great results 82 71 and 66 to be precise on the frame rate front go up to 1440p with rtx and here we do see a frame rate drop down to 68 60 and 53 but to get 68 frames per second on average with rtx on at 1440p medium settings is a really great result here fortnight then is the final game we tested today and we did this at both 1080p high and 1080p competitive settings and then at 1440p high settings too 1080p high first of all gave us 114 fps on average with 105 and 99 for the 90 and 99 percentile results measured in nvidia's frame view application and tuned down to 1080p low settings across the board but with 3d resolution at 100 render distance at far aka competitive settings and here we go 164 150 and 137 fps respectively finally then we also tested it at 1440p we want to see you know just how it does perform and here at 1440p we got 147 fps on average really a great result actually with 137 and 127. here we're seeing the 3060 ti perform great at that 1440p resolution which not only gives you that frame rate upside that you wouldn't see with 4k but also gives you that really nice visual fidelity improvement that you wouldn't get with 1080p and on that note that pretty much wraps it up not only for the game and benchmarks today but for the whole video if you didn't enjoy it you know what to do get a big old lightray and make sure to get subscribed if you somehow aren't already thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
