0:10 The pic of my original rig actually shows an Asus GTX 680 that I borrowed from Newegg (I was an employee at the time) because my GTX 670 was still in shipping and I just couldn't wait to build the system XD The OG memory was different too (old Kingston RAM I think) but I eventually upgraded to the Corsair Vengeance modules you see in this video :)
Specs of the first PC you ever built?
Give me your pc now or I’m going to play fortnite
Looks good
how is you comment an hour ago the video is new
Bitwit, my pc sucks.
I have an RTX 2070 with an i5 9600K.
You could see it though on my channel!

She wants to quit her job
wifey needs to do more vids!
She looks so dead lol

Was your pc 3 dollars
This build was so much fun to watch. Seeing the difference a decade can make is amazing. You continue to be enthusiastic and educational. Thank you for the videos.
My hobby is taking donated computers and restoring them. Most are outdated and i see many pcb's in need of component replacement. Once restored, I donate them to local schools. Due to covid, many families need computers for home schooling. You and a couple others are the reason I have taken on this hobby. Thank you again.

This is awesomesauce tho Kyle. Good one! Trip down memory lane.
Linus Tech Tips did the exact same content some hours ago.
Coincidence?
I don't think so.
Hotel?
Trivago
exactly he copied Tech Tips
Not really. Linus did an upgrade to new parts. This was rebuilding the old parts.
They're both the same person! Wake up people!
czcams.com/video/8px0zKRT1rk/video.html
Linus' Ricer build was the inverse of this. Though he did rebuild his first gaming rig some months ago...
Because of you I finally built my first computer on my own, and I can’t be happier I’m literally so excited to make more builds in the future. I’ve always wanted to make a pc and I can’t explain how proud I am of my self. Thanks so much for always having great content and great information I wouldn’t have been able to build this without your guidance
Now you should upgrade it as far as you can without swapping the motherboard :3
My 2011 rig is still going strong after giving it a 1070 and an overclocked xeon w3680 @4.4ghz to replace the i7 950. 2109 cinebench!!
Damn. I know this is old but I have a R5 2600 non-X overclocked to 4.15ghz and it goes to 3008. Impressive, for a 1366 Xeon.
The backwards compatibility of PCIe is absolutely amazing. I recently found it extremely useful to be able to use a PCIe 2 graphics card in a PCIe 4 motherboard, to prove the rest of my system was rock solid before returning my new flaky PCIe graphics card.
And people still pay 13k for new gpu to play cs go and doom..
< is watching someone assemble a pc in 2019 with component technology from 2011 on a Friday night...... Yup that's my life! Luv the videos Kyle, keep it up!!
Woohoo absolutely loved the video! Keep up the great work and am really enjoying your content :D

@@ZeryArtzTM currently playing pubg and Apex most of the time. Waiting for the ryzen to upgrade.
Same. I’ve seen no reason to upgrade the CPU. Regular GPU upgrades have been enough to keep up.
@surfermac its your time to shine
Wow, I had very similar specs in 2011:
- i7 2600k
- Cooler Master Hyper tx3 (OG version)
- ASUS P8P67 Pro
- Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz
- Cooler Master GX750W
- GTX 560 TI
I'm still rocking my 2500k at 4ghz with SLI 560ti's.
Beautiful build, reminds me of my first!.. Speaking of the great colour schemes of old motherboards; who remembers the amazing 'DFI LANParty' boards? I listed after them in my youth! Be great to see a retro build with one at some point.
Thanks for the great content as always dude!
I saw one in an uxwbill video. It was just an office PC!
I'm always throwing mad shapes to the music in your vids, it's good.
I rebulit my Pentium 4 3000 + ATI X1950 GT a month ago. Hardest part was finding a genuine Windows XP, and realizing the authentication servers don't work anymore :)
LMAO why bother with the license.
I miss my old DFI lanparty uv sli dr rig from the early 2000s with an athlon fx
@Bitwit wow thats crazy. I built my rig back in 2011 as well, and I immediately recognized your components. I went for a "frost" theme. White Thermaltake level10 and mostly blue components inside. I had the same mobo, ram, and processor as you too. Have since upgraded graphics cards multiple times as well. I'm still using that rig today
I have the exact same case for my first machine too and I think I had a similar motherboard from ASUS. its dusty AF with missing pcie slot covers, so it’s now been scrapped for a Lian li 011 dynamic with a 3900X system with no more spinning discs. Life is good now.
Haha and more "Verge" references. Love it Kyle. You are hilarious man, great content always!
"The very first PC I ever built!" - my first own build was 386dx 40MHz with Maxtor HDD and Gravis Ultrasound soundcard. And that was Hi-End at the time! Yeap, I'm that old ;-)

wooooah you mean you're like over 100?

The motherboard probably make people think you have 64gb ram tho... 😂

Just yesterday I watched the old 2011 Newegg how to build a PC video with Paul and a very similar build.
I had the same Corsair case! Still have it in a storage closet. And still running my 2500k with a gtx 960 for now. Will be upgrading soon.
"I may even force her to do some mounting, too."

Speaking of owo, I'm surprised there were no bulging capacitors to notice.
My first home pc hard drive was a Seagate ST225, it was a 20 MEG drive and it had 65ms access time...
Still rocking a Fractal XL from January 2011, it's had a couple of upgrades since: 3950x (with Noctua D14), 5700XT, 64GB of RAM, 1.5TB of NVME (since today), etc... and I was still using the same PSU until earlier this year (OCZ 700ish).
I'm still rocking my FM2 system with a 1050. Havnt upgraded in years! Ordered new parts yesterday!
Wow, this is literally the same system I had, only difference was the CPU. Had a i7 2700k...
I think you got you gpu's mixed up Kyle the gtx 670 only released 2012 I think you had the gtx 570
He would have had to do an upgrade..as the only other GTX card released was the 560 TI and then near the end of 2011 the 560 TI 448 which is a 570 with laser binned off modules
Correct, he messed up on this one :P
@@superroboted yes, and the 570 was a 580 with laser binned off modules. The 560ti 448-core, 570, and 580 used the big GF110 chip. The regular 384-core GTX 560ti and GTX 560 used the GF114 chip.
i like the retro music in the background to put the cherry on top for this somewhat retro build
know what my brother in law had that same case. We called it Storm Tropper. Sucker did a cross country trip twice before it chose to die (or something died in it that took everything down, but he got it temp fixed before he just got a new system) and it was built like a tank.
Up next Paul rebuilds his first gaming PC...then Jay lol

liked this video 2 seconds in because I love your OG rig
I know late to the game,, but when I saw what the subject matter was I had to comment. On this day in 2021 I am still rocking this basically same config of a PC probably built around the same time as yours. Same motherboard Gen3, same cpu, same memory, started with a 750gb caviar black HDD and switched it to a 250gb Samsung SSD when it started making noises. Asus Geforce GTX 570, Thermaltake Black Widow 850 case which I still love. I don't play any of the newer games simply because I don't want to be disappointed and can't afford to build one to this level in todays world.
Hey Bitwit :) , Loving the videos lately and the content is definitely getting creative!
That feeling when your still running the Asus p8z68 v pro and the i7 2600k......
Feeling like a veteran
I have exactly that...
Kyle ''You can't really install the case''
NZXT -Hold my beer.
@Maemo haha, oops autocorrection.
Almost my same exact first build at the same time as well, early 2011. I got my 2600k on launch but then had to wait a month or so for my P67 Sabertooth mobo because of the chipset recall at the time! I also got an HX750 PSU, 2 x 4GB sticks of black Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz memory, and a white 600T later that year (though I had two GTX 580 Lightning’s in SLI as my video card solution). Funny thing is I still have that same old build sitting on my desk as my backup rig (well, I sold the 580s years ago so it just has a 270X right now).
i still have my 2012 high end PC running fine, it isnt my main pc nowadays but it still working (mainly for some light games)
Hey, watching this on my i7-2600k! Waiting for the new Ryzen 3000 series.
tbh i think the 2600k is still a decent cpu for gaming not the best but still decent. a modern GPU with a 2600k and it would probably perform pretty well i think
@@taz874 Yes it is, especially if you play at 1440p or even 4k.
How about upgrade the gpu in your old pc to maybe a gtx 1070 or 2060, and compare it to the current gen to see how it holds in 2019
invulnerableguy bottlenck is quote the problem then
Zaraki Wingss well the ipc improvement for the sandy bridge was big i dont think it will be that much of a bottle neck also why i didnt say 2080ti, just want to see maybe comparisons cause this can OC to 4.7 easy
invulnerableguy it would still bottleneck, you need to get as low as a gtx 970 ti..
@@zarakiwingss4995 CPUs have barely gone anywhere (in gaming terms) over the last decade. Still rocking my i5 3750k- In cost effectiveness, it would still be much more worthwhile for me to upgrade my 1060 to a 1080/2080 than to replace the CPU at all.

I almost got that case too, but opted to buy the CM Storm Scout instead. Still love the portability and looks of that case.
I had the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 with an i5 2500K - excellent combination and that setup is still running well today! I've been using a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H with an i7 3770K for years. Intel's CPUs and chipsets from this era were amazing.
I also had a Crucial m4 128GB SSD - it was my first SSD and cost £160 new back in October 2011!
"I may even force her to do some mounting too"... "Let's cram in all the hardware and see if this kitty can still purr" 😂

You may laugh, but my last full system build for my desktop was in *drumroll* 2008. DX58SO, Core i7 920, 6 GB RAM, GTX 285, two WD Raptor-X 150 GB drives. Today it's been upgraded but not replaced: Xeon W3690, 36 GB RAM, 4x1 TB SSD in RAID 5, GTX 960, and it had a board failure 2 years ago so I threw in a P6T7 (which got me to 36 GB of RAM). Even today, it's a beast for what I normally do with it: photo editing and light gaming. Same OS install, been moved to first 256 GB SSDs and then the new RAID card.
I fondly remember various DFi LANParty boards that had UV-reactive slots on them! The good ol' days of CCFL case illumination, where the lamps' transformer would get so hot as to melt things around it.
I'm still running a 2600K, P8Z68-V Pro, 16GB of the shown ram with a 1080ti, still works great!
so basically 1080ti with 2600k are like some modern cpu with gtx 1070
@Mykel Hardin on 4 k it will run fine with r3 1200 too
@Mykel Hardin but on lower resolutions it will be bad just like 2600k

Man I love this case, wish they made a refresh of it.
I built my first PC on October 2011 too! It was a 21st birthday present to myself. Corsair 400R case, i5-2500k, GTX 460, 16GB value G Skill RAM, Hyper 212 cooler. Can't remember the PSU or storage drives.
This really shows how much Moore's Law has slowed down in everything but GPUs.
QuantumBraced I mean, I even think at the moment gpus are at a bit of a stand still. The 2070ti and 2080ti are practically the same as their older brothers, at least in my experience.
Samuel Neff oh, I was moreso referring to the performance anyways. Thanks for the heads up.
It's true. I am running the mighty Q9650 and it holds together pretty damn well in modern titles.
I thought that the heatsink on the left side of the CPU socket was built in ram. Don't even question why I thought ram was built in 😂😅
That's very similar to my first build I did in 2013. I still have it, just basically upgraded the graphics card. It still kicks ass
Always fun to watch your channel.
