Introduction
Building a PC can be a bit overwhelming. I remember when I first built my custom PC, I was a total mess. I didn’t know what to look at or where to look at things that might be helpful. I didn’t even know about any computer parts or what parts were actually needed to build a computer. While searching through YouTube I have seen lots of YouTube channels. Some were really helpful and some were just a waste of time. After researching for months I can confidently suggest these 12 YouTube channels which will make your PC build much easier with proper information. Go through all the channels I suggested and pick any of them to your liking. I can guarantee you that you will get the most value from the suggested channels and it’ll make your custom build so much easier.
Why use YouTube Channels for Computer Building Education
YouTube is an easy and reliable platform to learn new information about anything. You will learn everything visually and YouTube channels always provide up-to-date pieces of information.
TechSource
TechSource builds amazing custom PCs in a fun way. He offers a variety of PC-related content like budget builds, product reviews, and different tips and tricks. You will enjoy his videos and learn a lot of new things. He also reviews different setups which is known as “Set-Up War”. If you watch the setup war videos, you will get great new ideas for your setup. He also builds PCs for his subscribers. All in all, you will learn a lot of things from this channel.
PC Centric
I got most of the build ideas from this channel. He builds custom PCs based on different budgets. It’s really fun watching him build and make silly mistakes and then realize it. But he gives genuine advice for all the custom PC builders out there. He benchmarks the build after completing the whole build process. But I don’t like his benchmark system. It’s not detailed, just an overview.
GeekaWhat
GeekaWhat channels motherboard-CPU combo videos helped me the most. I was so confused about which motherboard goes best with my CPU. After watching his videos I was totally clear about everything. He also provides the Best GPU and CPU buying guides according to each budget.
Optimum
When it comes to ITX and mini-ITX builds Optimum is the best without any doubt. No one can beat him. Besides his videos have a minimal and satisfying look.
Gamers Nexus
Gamers Nexus is famous for hardware, performance, benchmarking, and optimizations. They do detailed in-depth reviews and comparisons. They give the most genuine reviews of all PC hardware. They also provide the best game optimizations.
Hardware Unboxed
They are famous for their benchmarks. You can look into their benchmark videos for a more clear view of the products. They put so much work into their videos, that it’s hard to believe that their content is free. They are always the first to review newly released CPU GPU or any other products.
ScatterVolt
I love his build guides. His part selection is well-researched. He focuses mostly on budget builds. So if you’re looking for a budget build guide you can check out his channel.
PC Builder
This channel covers all sorts of content like the best
CPU-GPU combo, CPU/GPU latest price, and best buying guides. His channel helped
me a lot in choosing different parts for my build.
Zack’s Tech Turf
This channel always focuses on the aesthetics of the build. He builds beautiful budget builds. If you’re into aesthetics PC build you can check this channel.
Tech Notice
I have seen very few videos from this channel but this content is also informative and helpful.
Paul’s Hardware
Paul’s Hardware offers straightforward and very easy-to-follow PC build tutorials. He makes the most informative videos and the latest reviews. He also covers the latest releases.
Linus Tech Tips
I think I don’t have to write anything about Linus. With over 15 million subscribers,
Linus Tech Tips is the most popular PC builder on the internet without any
doubt. But I suggested it at the last because recently he shifted his content
to more unique but unrelated topics rather than just building PCs. But his hardware reviews are well-researched with practical case scenarios which will help you to make a proper decision.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a complete noob or have a bit of knowledge, these 12 channels will provide knowledge and inspiration you need to master the art of PC building. I know there are so many other popular YouTube channels like JayzTwoCents, Bitwit, HardwareCanucks, etc. I have watched their videos too. They may be helpful to many other people. But weren’t very helpful in my case. And I’m not suggesting any channel that won’t help you much but just kill your valuable time. Go through all the channels I suggested and pick any of them to your liking. I can guarantee you that you will the most value from the suggested channels.
