BEST $1000 Gaming & Streaming PC Build Guide (2022)

**Installing Windows on Your New PC**

So, I just paid for the key and then now I can see "View Keys and codes here" and this should be a working activation key so let's copy it, and then you just click on your windows icon, type "activation settings," then change product key, and then this key should work. So, let's click on next and let's see activate Windows by activating you get the best experience, boom! Activate and boom, Windows is activated. I kind of right-click on the taskbar and then access all these settings, and there won't be a watermark appearing right here in the corner.

**Installing Drivers**

Now when you finish building a PC like right now, you probably want to install your game and start testing it but we need to install some drivers first. So, you take a look at the motherboard you bought in this case Amazon B550A Pro, and I'll just go to drivers, and for pretty much every motherboard there will be a page like this where you can go to drivers on the page itself, you can select your operating system Windows 10 x64 bits is what I bought. The chipset drivers are for the chipset of the motherboard then we have audio drivers land drivers for internet so I am going to be installing all these drivers and then after that we need to install the most important one of them all the GPU driver.

**Installing GPU Driver**

So, you can just look for NVIDIA drivers it's like your product, we have a 30 60, so 30 series RTX 3060, and then boom! We can download this now. The GPU driver has been a stop at something really really important if you build a new PC, you should press Ctrl Alt Escape on your keyboard, then go to Performance, and another memory, you will see that the speed that it's currently running at will probably not be the correct speed of your memory sticks.

**Fixing Memory Speed**

So, in order to fix this, you need to restart your PC and then keep pressing delete and F2 one of them will trigger the BIOS settings so I'm gonna keep spamming it, and now when the PC restarts, I will be going into my BIOS. Think it's happening right now there we go! So by default, you will be in the easy mode, and then on the left under memory, you can again see the speed, so we are going to Advanced then to OC on the left, and then here you will see dram frequency and it will change it from Auto to the native speed of your memory sticks in our case is 3200.

**Testing Game Performance**

Now we're gonna close it save it, and now the PC will restart, and now it is actually running at the correct speed so we're gonna test the game, and I'm gonna choose Valorant since it's the perfect game for streamers, it's also a game that benefits from higher FPS. So, I want to see the performance we can get on this 1440p screen green, and I have pretty much everything on high now.

**Final Thoughts**

Now, when you want a Windows key for yourself, I will link to it in the description. Now when you finish building a PC like right now, you probably want to install your game and start testing it but we need to install some drivers first so you take a look at the motherboard you bought...

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enone thousand dollars is what forty five percent of you wanted me to spend on this gaming and streaming PC and I am extremely excited for this build so you can finally build a good gaming and streaming PC for a thousand dollars oh and also this is a pretty budget-friendly case and it looks amazing I bought a tiny electric screwdriver I really wonder if this is gonna help me with the build it was less than twenty dollars I will link it in the description in case you are interested so I'm gonna show you how to install all of this stuff in the PC I will give you some cheaper and more expensive Alternatives then I'm gonna show you how to set up the PC and remove the Windows 10 watermark for a very cheapyoursidiki.com and finally we will touch the PC in some games now I found the motherboard that will look absolutely amazing in this build however it does look as amazing as the main sponsor of today's video which is owns owned.tv offers beautiful animated overlays that will make your stream look better in no time whether you want a Christmas theme for the coming holidays and officially licensed Call of Duty Warzone theme or any other style from their huge library of completely animated overlay packs they have it all and they are optimized for twitch and YouTube streaming besides overlays their best selling services or the two emote makers which will let you create static or animated emotes for your stream if you want to get your own Graphics go to own.gg TVN or click the link on top of my description and use my code TVN at checkout for 50 of the price now I've been looking around for a lot of different motherboards on Amazon and in the end a lot of the times it comes down to finding the best current deal this is especially true for the graphics card I'm gonna go into that later but the reason I'm so excited about this motherboard is that there is not any part of it that doesn't look good it is pretty much completely black and the specific reason that I chose for this kind of look is that with a budget build like this not that one thousand dollars is a low budget for a PC one thousand dollars is not enough to start adding RGB fans and RGB strips we don't have a budget to expand on that so since this case is wide around the edges and then completely dark on the inside besides from this White Strip all these PC parts being black including the complete motherboard being black will make this belt look very high-end and very clean the motherboard also has a very clean heatsink for the SSD that we're gonna install ah this is amazing and the SSD I went for is a one terabyte 970 Evo plus so this is an nvme SSD they are extremely fast it is not the fastest one out there however you will never need something faster than this for normal PC use and gaming and stuff by the way I spent 134 dollars on the motherboard it is the Amazon b550a pro and this one terabyte and vme drive cost 99 now you need to push it in a bit tilted like this you shouldn't take it like this and then try to push it in just a bit tilt it now you push this down now we can attach one of the screws let's be very gentle and then now we can drop on the heatsink and then attachable screws again now the next thing I want to drop in is the CPU it is a ryzen 5 5600x it has six cores and is going to be more than enough for what we needed to do now before you take the CPU out of this plastic make sure it pushes lever to the side then pull it up this way once you take the CPU out of the plastic here you can immediately drop it in then you should find the little arrow in one corner of the CPU you look for the same arrow on one side of the CPU socket on the motherboard then you align those two and then you just drop the CPU in push the lever down again and unlock it in now the next thing we need to do is add our CPU Cooler locally for us since this is a build on a budget the cooler that comes with the CPU with the ryzen 5 is extremely decent extremely decent that's the word you use when you have no budget left and you just want to convince yourself that what you're using is good no I'm just kidding the cooler is actually good as long as you're not going to do extreme overclocking you're never gonna need another one now we need to remove these two pieces of plastic on the side of the CPU socket and the CPU Cooler also has thermal paste pre-applied so you don't need to put thermal paste on the CPU you do not need to worry about how much to put on it it's already pre-applied you just drop the screws on top of the holes and I'm scared to do it with the drill so I'm gonna take a screwdriver for a second so I don't make these too tight you kind of feel when you need to stop like right now it's giving some resistance you don't need to overdo it as soon as you feel it pushing back you just stop make sure you do this in a diagonal pattern now once we add this board to the PC it's gonna be like this the graphics card on the bottom CPU on the top so this AMD logo is on the side now if you want to be able to turn this around and the best thing is to take it off the motherboard and then on the back behind the AMD logo you will be able to see two screws and if you remove those you will be able to take off the top and instead of turning in the quarter and then clicking it on again you need to screw off this whole top here turn that so I just removed all of the screws now now I can just lift it up turn it around so I just attached all four screws again so now I can take the top cap again push it on and make sure it clicks which isn't that easy ah there we go so then the final thing is reattaching the two screws behind the logo here and then we can reattach this to the motherboard ah there we go it was a lot of work but it does look much cleaner now so done on top of the motherboard you will see a connector that says CPU fan so we can take the cable from the fan and then connect it to that by the way if I didn't mention this yet the price of the CPU was 199 dollars I looked on Amazon a few hours ago and I think right now it's 192. so this happens a lot with PC ports on Amazon the prices are constantly fluctuating especially with the GPU so I'm gonna go in through how to find a pretty good deal on a GPU once we install it in the case the last thing we need to install on this motherboard before putting it into the case are these two memory sticks they are 8 gigabytes each and that will be enough for most things now depending on the use case you might want to upgrade to 32 gigabytes in the future if you are running a lot of stuff at the same time or especially if you are editing on the PC I have 64 gigabytes in my main system however that's primarily for DaVinci Resolve but if you need more memory you can always add two extra sticks and pay attention to the placement of the sticks because if you are using two sticks you need to use a first and then the third as I said in the beginning this board has completely black the components are too so I think that will look extremely clean in the back of this case the price of the memory by the way was sixty dollars we are pretty lucky that all the PC prices oops have dropped and are pretty normal now because we've had this whole thing with the cheap views being very expensive of course and a while before that memory was extremely expensive so the case comes pre-installed with two fans one here in the front and then one on the back and since the front of the case is pretty much completely open there's gonna be a lot of air intake and this means the airflow of the case is probably gonna be very good now before we install the motherboard inside of the case it's best that we installed this back panel first because otherwise that's going to be quite the hassle and you have to do this from inside so once positioned correctly you just push on until it clicks there we go man this is not easy so next I'm gonna install the motherboard on the inside then we're gonna install the power supply here and the GPU this should be pretty quick now you can't really mess up the sport It just fits the case by the way the look of this PC is turning out as I expected this is an amazing build to make yourself if your budget is around a thousand dollars and when I'm going over the GPU I will give some other options because the GPU will be the main part that you're kind of switching around in this build as I said before you just find the holes and you put a screw in them and then the next thing we can install is the power supply which is gonna be from the side here and from the back by the way the price of this case is 89 there are cheaper cases however for a one thousand dollar build my opinion is that the case should also at least be decent and besides having good airflow and like good build quality also look good you shouldn't start spending 150 or 200 on a crazy RGB case but 89 for a one thousand dollar build I don't think that's over the top now as a power supply I took a 750 watts I know I'm gonna get some comments that this build doesn't need it I could have gone with 500 or 650. however this build is pretty future proof in terms of upgrades if I took a 500 watts GPU and then the 4D series cards came out you wouldn't be able to use one of those chords in this build and you would have to upgrade your power supply and besides that being a big hassle with all the cables Etc that you need to reroute now when I built my first PCS back in the day I still remember me squeezing every little thing out of my budget that I could and I did cut myself short by choosing parts that weren't very upgradable but I didn't care about it because I wanted the best I could get at that time and then in the future I planned on building a whole new pc if that's the case for you you could take a 500 watts power supply for the GPU that we chose now however I would take 750 and if you want a really strong graphics card in the future you might take 850 because the 40 series cards they are drawing a lot of power now this power supply is completely much modular and this means that we're only going to use the cables that we need and we're not going to have a bulge of cables here to stuff away that we're not using so you install the power supply with the vent on the bottom as you can see on the bottom of this case there are vents right there and this case also allows you to take it out to take off the dust and then just shove it back in this is also something you don't get with budget cases now attaching the power supply is very easy a concept four screws and once you line it correctly on the inside it is very easy to attach it now the only storage I installed is this nvme drive it is one terabytes 99 you can choose for a bigger one if you need more really fast storage you can take the same one but you can also go for a smaller one price of this has come down a lot but the only thing we really need this for is to install Windows on it think Windows takes like 100 gigabytes I'm not sure but for all your other storage if you want more than this nvme that you are buying you can add through normal ssds right here you can take this plastic part off attach your SSD and that way you will have storage that's also pretty fast test and there is a second slot for an nvme drive right there so next to the one we already installed you can always install a second one here now the GPU the most important part of this builds whether it's for gaming or for streaming for gaming you want a strong GPU and then for streaming you want the GPU that has mvank is there something only Nvidia cards have and an NV yank chip is a separate chip on the GPU that will take care of encoding for streaming so in OBS Studio streamlab zombie has all programs you can select mvnk encoding and then that means that when you're playing a game with your GPU and then you start streaming you will see a very minor hit to your gaming performance because the separate chip on the GPU will be doing the encoding so the biggest difference when you press start streaming will be on your CPU instead of your GPU now installing a GPU is very easy you take off this protective thing you push back the level of the pcie lane that's on the top and then before being able to install your graphics card here we need to make sure that it has room on the back so installing the GPU here Will make it so it needs space on the third and the second position here and you can just screw those off and make sure you keep these screws because these things don't get destroyed when you take them out you can always put them back into place and screw them in there is an extra plate on the back next to the ones we removed so if you remove that plate then you will have more room to wiggle around with the GPU and then now that the side panel has been removed we can push the GPU in very easily it will just fit and then when we push till it clicks will be locked in place and then if you're building one yourself please don't forget to put in a screw on the back so previously I said to keep this back panel here and then the screw for later but you're gonna need the screw right now because instead of connecting the back panel to the case you can now use the screw to connect the GPU to the case and then now it will actually be very sturdy so I kind of forgot going over the GPU I chose because I was looking forward to installing it but I went for an RTX 3060 and it's obviously from Nvidia and the GPU is the thing I mentioned before that you can look around for on Amazon and I look for the cheapest one at that time always use research a specific Edition you're about to buy because sometimes some of them are less powerful compared to the other cards for example at the time I bought this card here the triple fan version of the same court of the Amazon 3060 was cheaper while it's better however it took longer to arrive and I needed to make this video so I took the double fan one but this is just an example of Amazon constantly adjusting their prices and sometimes better models like the triple fan version being cheaper than the double fun version I paid 380 dollars for this card there are three cards you can look at that all have about the same performance and is the 3050 which is one model below this the 1660 super and then the 1660 TI now before we go on I wanna take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this build choosing for all black components on the inside definitely was a great choice this PC looks very premium and I'm a hundred percent gonna use it myself so the power supply is completely modular we can choose the cables we need connect them and then all the rest can go back in the bag this big cable is gonna be to power the motherboard I'm gonna push it from the back to the front and then I can easily plug it in then you will find the cable that says CPU that's also push that to the front and then connect it to the motherboard now this white kind of divider in the case also allows for really clean Cable Management as you can see it hides the cable really well and then on the top left corner of the motherboard is where I plugged in my CPU cable right there and then the last cable is for the graphics card that cable will say pcie and there are eight holes in this connector so you're gonna have to hold the six pin connector and the two pin connector together and then push it in that way we're gonna route this whole cable to the back and try to hide it as well as we can and then now I can connect all of these cables here to the power supply now as I said in the beginning the case wasn't really cheap but it is quality because look at this it has this big plastic Lane that's perfect for your cables same here on the top right you can literally push the CPU cable under this and then it just stays in place now besides all the motherboard cables there were a bunch of cables hanging out of the back here and I just connected all of them around the motherboard you can see one there in the corner on the bottom left then those two on the bottom right the one on the right side panel I also have to manually connect that fan there and then the front fan both of them go on the top right of the motherboard right there and then under the motherboard connector I had to connect a USB cable so I'm gonna do a hopefully very satisfying field oh man this is tight that was definitely not satisfying very low quality peel try the other side ah so I'm gonna put on the stampered glass plug it in and then tighten the screw so I created a Windows 10 installation media I installed it to this USB drive I'm gonna plug in this USB and the PC let's turn it on there we go I can barely hear it so that's a very good sign and let's hope something shows up on the screen and it seems like the Windows installation is working I'm quickly gonna install it now they ask us to put in a key I'm not going to do it yet I'm going to show you a cheap website after this so I'm gonna choose I don't have a key now we will activate Windows 10 Pro later and then here we can see almost one terabyte unallocated space we can click on next and that is the SSD we installed before now the first thing I usually do when I record videos and I use a PC is going to the taskbar settings and I'm making it disappear so I get more screen State as you can see we need to activate Windows first and this part of the video is sponsored by a key website VIP or cdk.com now I have used this website before 4 for my second PC that's over there and the price here for Windows 10 Pro is only 19. oh and apparently there is a discount so I'm gonna copy the code let's click on buy now I'm gonna paste the promo code click apply and boom only 15 this is super useful for any PC Builder you will also get a watermark if you don't upgrade the PC so that's really annoying if you build a 1 000 gaming and streaming PC I think you should activate Windows so I just paid for the key and then now I can see view Keys and codes here and this should be a working activation key so let's copy it and then you just click on your windows icon you type activation settings then change product key and then this key should work so let's click on next and let's see activate Windows by activating you get the best experience boom activate and boom Windows is activated I kind of right click on the taskbar and then access all these settings and there won't be a watermark appearing right here in the corner the future now if you want a Windows key for yourself I will link to it in the description now when you finish building a PC like right now you probably want to install your game and start testing it but we need to install some drivers first so you take a look at the motherboard you bought in this case Amazon b550a pro and I'll just go to drivers and for pretty much every motherboard there will be a page like this where you can go to drivers on the page itself you can select your operating system Windows 1064 bits is what I bought so the chipset drivers is for the chipset of the motherboard then we have audio drivers land drivers for internet so I am going to be installing all these drivers and then after that we need to install the most important one of them all the GPU driver so you can just look for NVIDIA drivers it's like your product we have a 30 60 so 30 series RTX 3060 and then boom we can download this now the GPU driver has been a stop at something really really important if you build a new pc you should press Ctrl alt Escape on your keyboard then go to Performance and another memory you will see that the speed that it's currently running at will probably not be the correct speed of your memory sticks so in order to fix this you need to restart your PC and then keep pressing delete and F2 one of them will trigger the bias settings so I'm Gonna Keep spamming it and now when the PC restarts I will be going into my bias I think it's happening right now there we go so by default you will be in the easy mode and then on the left under memory you can again see the speed so we are going to Advanced then to OC on the left and then here you will see dram frequency and it will change it from Auto to the native speed of your memory sticks in our case is 3200 you might have bought different memory sticks and now we're gonna close it save it and now the PC will restart and now it is actually running at the correct speed so we're gonna test the game and I'm gonna choose Valerian since it's the perfect game for streamers it's also a game that benefits from higher FPS so I want to see the performance we can get on this 1440p screen green and I have pretty much everything on high now I know valrant isn't really a very demanding game however it is a very popular game for streamers and knowing you can get about 250 FPS by the way I don't really play Valerian so if you don't see me popping headshots that's why you can definitely look up a lot of benchmarks for a 30 60. the card is gonna be good for pretty much everything you want to play on it unless you want to play extremely demanding games on the highest settings possible and then while streaming it with animated graphics and all that stuff you might run into some trouble then but if you want a game in 1440p and then optionally also stream it you will definitely don't have any trouble and for the last time look at this PC it's pretty quiet it's extremely aesthetically pleasing I am really happy with this build I am going to use this PC in a white themed gaming and streaming setup on building I will post it on the channel in a few weeks so if you want to see that you can subscribe and in the meantime you can also visit this playlist because there's a bunch your setups there or YouTube probably knows you better and knows that this video will look pretty interesting to you thank you so much for watching this video links to everything I mentioned will be in the description and I will see you in the next video have a nice dayone thousand dollars is what forty five percent of you wanted me to spend on this gaming and streaming PC and I am extremely excited for this build so you can finally build a good gaming and streaming PC for a thousand dollars oh and also this is a pretty budget-friendly case and it looks amazing I bought a tiny electric screwdriver I really wonder if this is gonna help me with the build it was less than twenty dollars I will link it in the description in case you are interested so I'm gonna show you how to install all of this stuff in the PC I will give you some cheaper and more expensive Alternatives then I'm gonna show you how to set up the PC and remove the Windows 10 watermark for a very cheapyoursidiki.com and finally we will touch the PC in some games now I found the motherboard that will look absolutely amazing

want to get your own Graphics go to own.gg TVN or click the link on top of my description and use my code TVN at checkout for 50 of the price now I've been looking around for a lot of different motherboards on Amazon and in the end a lot of the times it comes down to finding the best current deal this is especially true for the graphics card I'm gonna go into that later but the reason I'm so excited about this motherboard is that there is not any part of it that doesn't look good it is pretty much completely black and the specific reason that I chose for this kind of look is that with a

take a 500 watts power supply for the GPU that we chose now however I would take 750 and if you want a really strong graphics card in the future you might take 850 because the 40 series cards they are drawing a lot of power now this power supply is completely much modular and this means that we're only going to use the cables that we need and we're not going to have a bulge of cables here to stuff away that we're not using so you install the power supply with the vent on the bottom as you can see on the bottom of this case there are vents right there and this case also allows you to take it out to take off the dust and then just shove it back in this is also something you don't get with budget cases now attaching the power supply is very easy a concept four screws and once you line it correctly on the inside it is very easy to attach it now the only storage I installed is this nvme drive it is one terabytes 99 you can choose for a bigger one if you need more really fast storage you can take the same one but you can also go for a smaller one price of this has come down a lot but the only thing we really need this for is to install Windows on it think Windows takes like 100 gigabytes I'm not sure but for all your other storage if you want more than this nvme that you are buying you can add through normal ssds right here you can take this plastic part off attach your SSD and that way you will have storage that's also pretty fast test and there is a second slot for an nvme drive right there so next to the one we already installed you can always install a second one here now the GPU the most important part of this builds whether it's for gaming or for streaming for gaming you want a strong GPU and then for streaming you want the GPU that has mvank is there something only Nvidia cards have and an NV yank chip is a separate chip on the GPU that will take care of encoding for streaming so in OBS Studio streamlab zombie has all programs you can select mvnk encoding and then that means that when you're playing a game with your GPU and then you start streaming you will see a very minor hit to your gaming performance because the separate chip on the GPU will be doing the encoding so the biggest difference when you press start streaming will be on your CPU instead of your GPU now installing a GPU is very easy you take off this protective thing you push back the level of the pcie lane that's on the top and then before being able to install your graphics card here we need to make sure that it has room on the back so installing the GPU here Will make it so it needs space on the third and the second position here and you can just screw those off and make sure you keep these screws because these things don't get destroyed when you take them out you can always put them back into place and screw them in there is an extra plate on the back next to the ones we removed so if you remove that plate then you will have more room to wiggle around with the GPU and then now that the side panel has been removed we can push the GPU in very easily it will just fit and then when we push till it clicks will be locked in place and then if you're building one yourself please don't forget to put in a screw on the back so previously I said to keep this back panel here and then the screw for later but you're gonna need the screw right now because instead of connecting the back panel to the case you can now use the screw to connect the GPU to the case and then now it will actually be very sturdy so I kind of forgot going over the GPU I chose because I was looking forward to installing it but I went for an RTX 3060 and it's obviously from Nvidia and the GPU is the thing I mentioned before that you can look around for on Amazon and I look for the cheapest one at that time always use research a specific Edition you're about to buy because sometimes some of them are less powerful compared to the other cards for example at the time I bought this card here the triple fan version of the same court of the Amazon 3060 was cheaper while it's better however it took longer to arrive and I needed to make this video so I took the double fan one but this is just an example of Amazon constantly adjusting their prices and sometimes better models like the triple fan version being cheaper than the double fun version I paid 380 dollars for this card there are three cards you can look at that all have about the same performance and is the 3050 which is one model below this the 1660 super and then the 1660 TI now before we go on I wanna take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this build choosing for all black components on the inside definitely was a great choice this PC looks very premium and I'm a hundred percent gonna use it myself so the power supply is completely modular we can choose the cables we need connect them and then all the rest can go back in the bag this big cable is gonna be to power the motherboard I'm gonna push it from the back to the front and then I can easily plug it in then you will find the cable that says CPU that's also push that to the front and then connect it to the motherboard now this white kind of divider in the case also allows for really clean Cable Management as you can see it hides the cable really well and then on the top left corner of the motherboard is where I plugged in my CPU cable right there and then the last cable is for the graphics card that cable will say pcie and there are eight holes in this connector so you're gonna have to hold the six pin connector and the two pin connector together and then push it in that way we're gonna route this whole cable to the back and try to hide it as well as we can and then now I can connect all of these cables here to the power supply now as I said in the beginning the case wasn't really cheap but it is quality because look at this it has this big plastic Lane that's perfect for your cables same here on the top right you can literally push the CPU cable under this and then it just stays in place now besides all the motherboard cables there were a bunch of cables hanging out of the back here and I just connected all of them around the motherboard you can see one there in the corner on the bottom left then those two on the bottom right the one on the right side panel I also have to manually connect that fan there and then the front fan both of them go on the top right of the motherboard right there and then under the motherboard connector I had to connect a USB cable so I'm gonna do a hopefully very satisfying field oh man this is tight that was definitely not satisfying very low quality peel try the other side ah so I'm gonna put on the stampered glass plug it in and then tighten the screw so I created a Windows 10 installation media I installed it to this USB drive I'm gonna plug in this USB and the PC let's turn it on there we go I can barely hear it so that's a very good sign and let's hope something shows up on the screen and it seems like the Windows installation is working I'm quickly gonna install it now they ask us to put in a key I'm not going to do it yet I'm going to show you a cheap website after this so I'm gonna choose I don't have a key now we will activate Windows 10 Pro later and then here we can see almost one terabyte unallocated space we can click on next and that is the SSD we installed before now the first thing I usually do when I record videos and I use a PC is going to the taskbar settings and I'm making it disappear so I get more screen State as you can see we need to activate Windows first and this part of the video is sponsored by a key website VIP or cdk.com now I have used this website before 4 for my second PC that's over there and the price here for Windows 10 Pro is only 19. oh and apparently there is a discount so I'm gonna copy the code let's click on buy now I'm gonna paste the promo code click apply and boom only 15 this is super useful for any PC Builder you will also get a watermark if you don't upgrade the PC so that's really annoying if you build a 1 000 gaming and streaming PC I think you should activate Windows so I just paid for the key and then now I can see view Keys and codes here and this should be a working activation key so let's copy it and then you just click on your windows icon you type activation settings then change product key and then this key should work so let's click on next and let's see activate Windows by activating you get the best experience boom activate and boom Windows is activated I kind of right click on the taskbar and then access all these settings and there won't be a watermark appearing right here in the corner the future now if you want a Windows key for yourself I will link to it in the description now when you finish building a PC like right now you probably want to install your game and start testing it but we need to install some drivers first so you take a look at the motherboard you bought in this case Amazon b550a pro and I'll just go to drivers and for pretty much every motherboard there will be a page like this where you can go to drivers on the page itself you can select your operating system Windows 1064 bits is what I bought so the chipset drivers is for the chipset of the motherboard then we have audio drivers land drivers for internet so I am going to be installing all these drivers and then after that we need to install the most important one of them all the GPU driver so you can just look for NVIDIA drivers it's like your product we have a 30 60 so 30 series RTX 3060 and then boom we can download this now the GPU driver has been a stop at something really really important if you build a new pc you should press Ctrl alt Escape on your keyboard then go to Performance and another memory you will see that the speed that it's currently running at will probably not be the correct speed of your memory sticks so in order to fix this you need to restart your PC and then keep pressing delete and F2 one of them will trigger the bias settings so I'm Gonna Keep spamming it and now when the PC restarts I will be going into my bias I think it's happening right now there we go so by default you will be in the easy mode and then on the left under memory you can again see the speed so we are going to Advanced then to OC on the left and then here you will see dram frequency and it will change it from Auto to the native speed of your memory sticks in our case is 3200 you might have bought different memory sticks and now we're gonna close it save it and now the PC will restart and now it is actually running at the correct speed so we're gonna test the game and I'm gonna choose Valerian since it's the perfect game for streamers it's also a game that benefits from higher FPS so I want to see the performance we can get on this 1440p screen green and I have pretty much everything on high now I know valrant isn't really a very demanding game however it is a very popular game for streamers and knowing you can get about 250 FPS by the way I don't really play Valerian so if you don't see me popping headshots that's why you can definitely look up a lot of benchmarks for a 30 60. the card is gonna be good for pretty much everything you want to play on it unless you want to play extremely demanding games on the highest settings possible and then while streaming it with animated graphics and all that stuff you might run into some trouble then but if you want a game in 1440p and then optionally also stream it you will definitely don't have any trouble and for the last time look at this PC it's pretty quiet it's extremely aesthetically pleasing I am really happy with this build I am going to use this PC in a white themed gaming and streaming setup on building I will post it on the channel in a few weeks so if you want to see that you can subscribe and in the meantime you can also visit this playlist because there's a bunch your setups there or YouTube probably knows you better and knows that this video will look pretty interesting to you thank you so much for watching this video links to everything I mentioned will be in the description and I will see you in the next video have a nice day
