Building my first PC | White Aesthetic, RTX4080 Super, Hyte Y70, Gaming & Productivity build

- I have finally built my first PC!!! I am honestly so proud of myself because I struggled a lot but now I feel so confident in my PC build skills and being able to upgrade parts in the future! Shout out to my friend for helping me throughout the whole build yous a real one.
Not gonna lie I was struggling with screwing and plugging everything in but thankfully I think it was better that I did everything softly cuz that turned out to be easy to fix. My reason for building a PC was because I was unable to edit or game smoothly without running into problems. Ever since I started filming in 4K my old computer could barely handle editing besides the basics. Gaming was also an issue because I would be playing games that aren't hard on your GPU but my graphics card would still crash from time to time. I had my good old PC for 6 years so it was time for a big upgrade. By no means was I able to afford this right away I had to save and cut other costs to be able to afford everything and I waited for sales and bundles when I could.
I hope this video finds the people who are also thinking of building a PC for the first time. Mistakes will happen, but that's okay and you're gonna be fine and learn from those mistakes and once you're done you will have to PC of your dreams :) if someone as dumb and soft-willed as me could do it, you can too!

I got a lot of comments on my SSD being installed incorrectly but it is now fixed. I appreciate the constructive feedback!
Also got a lot of comments about why did I get this part instead of this other one. I got a bundle through Microcenter for the CPU, motherboard and RAM so my reason for buying those are because of the price. I am aware that I lost some performance from buying those parts, but it was my first pc purchase so I worked with it. All other parts were recommended to me either by an experienced friend or through a worker at Microcenter. Overall I have good temps and my gaming and editing experiences are so much better than before, so this build as of now is working for me!
great specs 12900k and 4080 super is a match made in heaven for both productivity and gaming i for one am glad you went the intel and nvidia route amd is a crash machine intel and nvidia just works
@@hygarthwilliams6392 really? I was thinking of pairing amd and nvidea, why dont they work? Intel is so much more expensive aha
I did noticed it like not how I do it when I install an ssd on my Steel Legends motheboard Am5, paired the 7600X with the 7600 XT the idea here is being able to enjoy performance without breaking my wallet.
@@natka7435am5 is a much better option for upgradability and value, plus there's some good productivity options on am5 as well, so don't worry, it's a better option to me imo, Wayy better efficiency too
Seeing you move all those components like that at the start just spooked me a little
We all make mistakes from our builds part of the learning process, and loved how it turned out. Have done a build Amd parts, and initially went with Intel A750, but later got the 7600 XT to pair with the 7600X.
This was so fun to watch!! When you jumped for joy the first time it turned on I wanted to jump too lol
Haha yes it was truly a joyous moment and so worth all the struggles and setbacks while building 🥹
Congrats on building your first PC! Everything looks so comfy and cozy💛
Thank you!! 😊
Awesome and pretty pc, makes me feel secure about building by my own soon ❤️❤️❤️ and I love your cats 😻
Best wishes to you and your cats 🫶🏻
Thank you from me and the kitties! I learned PC building is pretty forgiving even if you make mistakes, so you got this 👍
Such a wonderful build! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! 💖
Congratulations! Great build!
First time pc building but you went straight to high end build. Crazy. COngrats
Good job on your first pc build! :D
You go girl! Awesome build, and yes, its a learning curve! I'm watching your video because I'm building my first PC this weekend!
Thanks! And omg that’s awesome!!! I hope your build goes smoothly ☺️
i love watching building videos because i felt the same joy when i built my first pc, now im on my third :D you have a great build
Oh wow nice! Idk if I’ll need to build a new pc for myself for a long time, but I’m itching to help friends build theirs now for that satisfaction of building one again haha
@@somaswooshi yeah I’ve been lucky to have the funds to build pc’s for my friends and family (:
Nice build! Im also about to build my first pc in about a week (hopefully), so its nice to see people starting to engage with this world.
That’s awesome! Agreed I got a lot of motivation from watching other people build PCs for the first time ☺️
Very relaxing vibe. That 4080 super gonna do wonders for you, i myself am rocking a 7900xt. Im also a big fan of the whole fish tank pc case, looks very very nice. I might get that same case(with the lcd screen) for my next build
Thanks! Yes it’s already making my games look amazing. Haha i love that description! I might decorate my case to look like a fish tank now. Yeah I’m waiting to see how much the lcd screen by itself will be before deciding on adding it to my case
Fun to watch i applaud your attempt as I’m assuming this was your first time . Good job hope it worked out for you ❤
We can get help from you now. It's a nice build indeed. Your PC so cool so graphics card fans turn on only occasionally.
great job! a first PC build is always scary. congrats
Nice build,you have the same vandal skin and same dps in genshin of me! love it.
You have collected a very good system, congratulations to you.😍😍🤩
I just ordered this case too after watching this. So excited!
Awesome! I just saw they’re gonna start making different colors for the case too which I’m very tempted to purchase in the future lol
gonna order this case soon and its also going to be my first build as well. can't wait
Ooooh good choice 😆 the case is so nice for cable management and it’s gonna look so clean. I’m excited for you!
I like how you assemble your PC step by step, because it gives me time to see exactly how the case is, to observe all its details; it's something that not many assembly professionals do. Do you know that there are Lian Li SL-INF fans with the blades reversed? This way, you don't lose the beautiful effect they have by flipping them to create the correct airflow. Your happiness when your PC finally boots up is contagious. Congratulations! I was expecting it to be the case with the screen, but you've ended up with a very nice PC. Do you use the Wallpaper Engine application for the animated desktop background?
Yup I tried to show as much of the process as I could minus installing windows cuz that was just a lot of waiting for things to download. I was hoping that someone could learn a few things from my mistakes 😅 I did see the reversed blades fans for sale, but I decided not to get them since they were slightly more expensive. And thank you! Yes I used Wallpaper Engine for my desktop background.
This is sooo pretty and congrats on your first build! As long as it works for you it’s perfect 😍 dont listen to these opinionated comments we all love you 😘
Thanks gurl! yes it’s soo much nicer than any pc i’ve owned I couldn’t be happier with it 🥹
Loving it girl! Congrats!🎉
A bundle assuming that you bought them from Micro Center only took a guess been at one of the locations, but can say that it is an amazing build, and we all make mistakes in our build part of the learning process. My only regret is not buying the Amd gpu sooner, but went with the Intel A750, Asrock X670E Steel Legends, Steel Legends 7600 XT (Current), Seagate 530 2tb ssd, Corsair case 5000D, and 32 gb rams. Will be honest Amd gpu are much lighter than the Nvidia counterpart. Love to see more content
Ugh, I'm getting ptsd for my first build too! You did such an amazing job for your first time and I hope this means we'll get a lot more videos from you in the future!
Aw thanks!! Yes I want to vlog more cozy gaming videos and PC things ☺️
My pc build went wrong L to me 😂
I hate the cable management in my pc i dont know how to fix it
hey, I feel that. I think my build took like 12 hours so by then i just shoved everything in the back and hoped things didn't shift too much when i closed the back hahaha@@Simon_182
@@PastyDates Mine took over like 18 hours at least because of trouble shooting
i am saving money for a PC, yours looks so cute and cozyyy
soo prettyy~
Sick build, I've recently build my own first pc build too inside a formd t1 (so a totally opposite approach) but I really enjoy this aesthetics.
That’s awesome! I like seeing different builds from mine too cuz it’s always cool to see what other people prefer in terms of parts and/or aesthetics!
this actually wasnt a bad video. you did great
Thank you!! ☺️
Recommend a AMD Ryzen 7 instead of intel 9. Very nice first PC build, congrats. Honestly the Hyte Y70 Touch might've been better anyway. :)
Great build very nice !
Thanks!
wooooww just wanna say congrats for ur first pc .. i do like it so bad, amazing and gorgeous
Thanks so much!
@@somaswooshi pleasure, keep it up
lovee the video! hope to see more of this once you think of getting a new one (lol it's been 5 days AHHAHAHAHA) but yeah great vid! and actually very helpful in a way for those people who doesn't have experience with building a pc
Thanks! The most I can promise is showing future upgrades or decorating my current pc cuz i cant afford building another pc until I’m elderly 🥲
Honestly not bad for a first time PC builder! Looks great
I see an associate helped you picked out the parts.
They did a great job selecting parts based on your use cases.
Make sure to fill out a survey, it really does help them out.
The only nitpick that will effect you over time is the SSD riser.
The little hexagonal screw you placed on top of the SSD is meant to be a bridge pillar of some sort to make sure the SSD is not bent when installing.
Over time you will notice that the SSD will bend due to heat and stress. That thicc hexagonal riser and M.2 silver screw is there to prevent that from happening.
My recommendation is to use the M.2 screw that comes inside of your motherboard box, it will be this tiiiiny screw that's silver that comes in a singular plastic baggy.
Micro Center does sell the M.2 Risers and screws individually as well if you're missing yours. They will be found near the thermal paste area I believe.
Another thing that will help you over time is space. I saw you only have one 2TB drive. Make sure that you don't use more than about 80% of your boot drive, because when using 100% of your drive there is a chance of corrupting Windows. Windows does need some breathing room to install updates, security fixes and more.
When saving footage (since you mentioned you will be video editing) make sure you save it externally on a hard-drive or get a secondary internal drive.
HDDs last longer but are slower, SSDs are faster but die quicker. It's best to use SSDs for cache files or game folders & as a boot drive, and your HDDs as additional storage.
NASs will help you too, but that's becoming it's own topic.
When upgrading components, make sure you only use the power supply cables that came with your power supply as they are rated for it/are proprietary.
Otherwise Good job! Looks very clean. The Y70 is a great case to build in.
Say hi to Josh from the service/repair department for me plz.😉
Hey thanks for your thorough explanations and advice! Yes micro center folks were extremely helpful when I told them what I wanted and needed in a PC.
Yep found the other screw I failed to notice and the SSD is now installed correctly. Also got a heatsink for it! I definitely plan to install another SSD in the future.
I have been using an external hard drive for all my video footage cuz it’s takes up a huge amount of space lol. Good to know why it’s better that way!
The power supply didn’t come with enough PCIe cables, but I did check with corsair about compatibility before buying the separate PCIe cable. If I ever need another power supply, I’ll be more aware of the cables I need!
i love the build!! I also just wanna say ur super cute and pretty
Ahh thank you you’re too kind 🫣❤️
Hiiii Somaswooshi🙋🙋 Here's Morning Time and Found Perfect Video for starts Day "First Time PC Build" ☺️☺️☺️
I know Building A First Time PC is Hard but You did it Amazing Job 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚🧚
Also I love White Aesthetic PC Build and also Kittens help them 😻😻😻
Anyway have Nice & Beautiful Gaming Day 💐🌺💐🌺
I like that this was cat approved!
Always gotta get their approval for any new stuff 😂
Looks awesome!!
Thank you! 😊
i'm so glad i wasn't the only one who struggled to get their hyte case out of the box haha
Almost all cases are a mission. Best method is to flip the box upside down and let gravity do the heavy work.
i got the same wallpaper from w.e is so cute in fact it looks better in your pc haha, congratulations!!
Yay haha I love knowing others share the same wallpaper, it’s so cute isn’t it? I’m sure it makes your PC look way cuter too 🥰
@@somaswooshi what is the name of wallpaper pls ?! :)
I'm thinking about building with this case in the future or actually upgrading from a previous build, very cool we both have solid white cats
Yes do it! As a first experience I didn’t have any issue with the case and it looks very clean. I love all white cats except for when I wear black clothes 😆
sick build, can't imagine the anxiety when you pressed the on button only for it to not turn on haha
I never understood the saying of your soul leaving your body until that moment 😂 all that built up anxiety and excitement gone in an instant lol
Hermoso setup, saludos desde Argentina!
Thank you! Hello from Los Angeles 👋
Great video!
Thanks! 😄
nice!!!!!!🔥
I just want mine like yours! In two months we’ll see
Ooh thats so soon! I’m sure it’s gonna look amazing 🤩
Sick build! I'm glad they are releasing more white PC parts too. I always wanted them but they are either too rare or too expensive. Lol I love Lian Li stuff it's what I use for my setup too. Hopefully in the future I can make a pure white build like that. My recent build is white/black/red. It was bad when I last upgraded because it was during the GPU shortage I ended up buying a pre built to rip out the GPU, CPU and mobo to shove into mine. Lol then I sold the rest cause it was crap I didn't need anymore. 😂 I should have waited till DDR5 was out to do it though. Oh well the 3070 upgrade was worth it.
Congratulations on the build! Gaming is going to be nice on that! Girl you need a second monitor though. I'm not sure how you can live without one! Gotta get a high refresh rate one next. 😅
Thanks! Yeah it’s a nice change cuz I’ve always had black or gray pcs so the white looks very clean! It does suck that they are more expensive but I’m hoping in the future they lower the prices. Oof yeah the shortage was crazy but glad you still got what you needed!
Oh don’t worry I do have a second monitor! I just didn’t show it cuz it’s also my tablet it’s clunky lol. Thankfully my main monitor does have high refresh rate which was another reason I needed a new PC cuz I couldn’t have a high refresh rate before!
@@somaswooshi Oh yeah! I think I remember seeing that before in previous videos. It looked really big. 😅 What kind of model is that tablet?
@@LunitaArtCraftits a wacom 22in haha it is kinda huge 😂
nice build. i used the same bundle in my build lol.
nice good choice 😁
I'm gonna make the same build as you, it looks really nice!
Yay! Wishing you a smooth easy build process 😌✨
u removing the foil at the End scared the sh## out of me giiiirl. Aaand my condolences for loosing your 50/50 XD
3:12 Your SSD is not installed correctly. You used the standoff instead of the proper screw that was provided with the mothetboard. If your ssd is installed at an angle, it is wrong. Ssd should be exactly parralell with the board. The standoff goes in first and then the ssd with tiny screw on top.
ใช่ เพื่อน SSD ติดตั้งผิดวิธี แบบนี้ทำให้ SSD เสียได้เลยเพราะการโค้งงอ
I'm pretty sure you install it first with an angle no? Then you push it down and fasten it
@appancha it needs to screw into a standoff. She screw it directly into the motherboard, which is wrong.
To bw honest its her stuff she paid for it so if she fucks it up is also her problem , these things even u noticed but only matter if someone is works in this area and do for clients pc ,because for that u need a do it correctly
@@kryzlo474nothing wrong with letting her know it’s messed up. Now she knows how to do it for her next build 🤷♂️
Looks great
Thanks!
omg this is my dream pc setup :) i wish i could have the pc like u some day :>
It’s doable if you work with a budget! I saved probably for 5 months which was painful but worth it
@@somaswooshi i'm just 15year :> if i have a work i will do my best to do like u some day
Good job for first build next time get them cats to chip in and help. They need to earn there keep lol!
You’re so right they should’ve at least helped me clean up instead they just played with all the boxes 😾
i will only dream of ever having a pc like this
I dreamed for over a year too lol but if you budget and research you can do it too!
Wow very nice build! Those coolers are not cheap; I love the infinity fans from Lian Li. Why didn't you go with their case? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes haha but its a little cheaper than the coolers with the screen, which i wouldve gotten if my budget allowed 😅 i was originally interested in the Hyte y70 with the touchscreen because I thought it was very unique and cool, but also expensive, so i opted for the case without the screen in case I want to add it in the future
Got same pure white build with lian fans and AIO but the Y70 looks way cooler then the Lian Vision or Dyn EVOXL. :)
This is an amazing build and looks absolutely stunning, but I think the gpu didn’t fit horizontally because you removed only one of the gpu slot panels. If you had removed both of them the gpu would have fit, but maybe I’m wrong! Either way the build looks incredible.
Thank you! ☺️ I did remove several slot panel covers off camera, but I could not find a way to fit it lol. Thankfully this case came with the part to be able to vertical mount, so maybe they knew certain gpus wouldn’t fit horizontally.
good job 😁👍❤
Thanks 😆
Thats a cool p c ❤
my father built his own pc years ago but his was not aesthetic like this one his was just black that he still uses today. Nice vid 🌺🌸
Thats awesome! I am also hoping the PC I built lasts me as long as possible 😌
SHE IS A BEAUTY DAMMNNNNN
It turned out so cute!!
I was wondering what your headset is and if the mic flips up to mute? I broke mine yesterday and I'm in love with the way yours looks!
Thank you! The headset is the Logitech G733 in the color Lilac ☺️ the mic doesnt flip up, but there is a mute button on the left side of the headset. Still love that headset as it’s really comfortable and I can wear em forever!
@@somaswooshi thank you!! I've been using turtlebeach but it literally shattered on my ear lol
def gonna try out logitech now
Congratulations! i`m from mexico...
Thanks! Hi from Los Angeles 👋
No need thermal paste ? I prefer placing the cpu water cool fans at the side so it takes cool air to cool rather than on top where the air is already heated instead
I see you got that micro center bundle 😉
Yes i saw that deal and got it asap lol
@@somaswooshi congrats on your build, its beautiful 😍
ficou lindo!
nice build but upgrade that monitor to a nice OLED alienware screen and youll be set :)
omg its so pretty :3 what do you think of the rgb on the lian li fans? i really want fans with a deep purple :)
Thanks so much! 😊 They’re very fun to play with, although I’m still learning all of the rgb and light settings. Only thing I noticed was that the color tends to be lighter than what I pick in the program, but not a big deal. Oooh i think that would look so nice!
@@somaswooshi thank you!!
nice
Damn, i was actually planning on building the exact same pc with the same parts, changing only the cpu from intel to amd, enjoy
You have good taste! it’s gonna be an awesome pc 😄
WOW PRETTY BUILD!!! CAN WE SEE SOME APEX LEGENDS CONTENTS? HEHE
Does the Lian Li block have a thermal pad? I see nothing on the CPU at 8:57?
It does not have a thermal pad
Why couldn't you put the gpu in the top slot? The top slot is X16 meant for GPU's. The lower slots might be x8 or x4.
You actually could add another screen at the glass corner above your power button Amazon has this.
VSDISPLAY 12.6 Inch IPS LCD Screen Monitor 1920x515 Display with Mini HD-MI
I’m considering adding that screen but for now I enjoy seeing my hardware :)
Old Boomer here! I reember my first build! Anybody remember IDE ribbon cables? :P
How much did it cost to build after that sweet microcentre bundle.?
With the PCIe cable the total was $2450.22!
this made me want to upgrade my case LMAOO
Go for it! I definitely plan adding the touch screen once i save enough hehe
why the 12900k tho, kinda bad if you plan to upgrade soon
please post a video cleaning the pc when it need
Yes but first I need to learn how to clean a PC LOL
Как я тебе завидую +_+ . В моей стране не купить этот корпус, да и в страну не доставляют /-_-\. А он такой удобный. Правда! красивая сборка.
There are lots of pretty cases not available to my country too… but sometimes you can find them on eBay! And thank you :)
I've seen this live wallpaper of Kirby EVERYWHERE but I can't find it... Do you still have the link pls?
It’s from wallpaper engine! Sorry I don’t have a link, but I bought wallpaper engine from steam for a few dollars and searched for kirby themed wallpapers hope that helps :)
Sad to see you hiding the nice part of the infinity fans at the back. Why not use reverse fans? I did that in my h70.
Intake back and bottom, and only exhaust in the top with the AIO.
back exhaust fits most coolers better as that's where the airflow is directed. function > form
@@nihilichen are talking the same ”back”? Im talking about the 3x fans in the back
@@xsistlol Ohh, my bad, I thought you meant the case's rear fan
did you update the bios before running everything. and going in and fixing the motherboard settings so that you get the best out of your ram and cpu?
Wallpaper in video ? 14:27
It’s from wallpaper engine!
Sorry, but you installed the M2 ssd incorrectly
3:13 You fixed the SSD incorrectly, the screw that fixes the SSD is not this one, but a small one.
where do you get the wallpaper?
Wallpaper engine on steam!
Please install SSD correctly with help of someone. it could be damaged
Use audio its very appealing soo people would be more interested by your content
I tried to include most of the original audio but i had to cut out some because I was on a call with a friend who was helping me as I was building 😅 if i make another pc related video i will try harder to have good audio!
What monitor u using?
It’s an ASUS 27 inch 144Hz!
where can i get the monitor stand?
I got if off amazon but i don’t think the exact model available anymore. There are similar ones if you try looking up bamboo monitor stand!
@@somaswooshi thank you!
guys somoene tell me if the motherboard comes with a finished pc
why i9 12th gen brooooooooooooo
@12:23 - @12:26 it attacked
there's a mistake on a build you could've gone cheaper with the cpu and more higher performence because gpu won't go full performence with that cpu you could've went through amd it's much cheaper and future proof and much better overall performence but everything is great.
bro be gentle in those fans on the bottom of the case they're put the wrong way overall ok video
yo be careful, you're supposed to take off the plastic before turning the pc on
I want a pc so bad but its so expensive your so luckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I feel you 🥲 i cut down on all other nonessential expenses for months and dipped into savings to be able to afford everything, but it’s worth the investment!
My parents are gonna get me a pc if i get good grades and i hope i do im excited
@@paytonroode2254 thats awesome! Study well~
the ssd is not installed corretly.... its sits on top of the standoff and a tiny screw goes on top!!! u are putting extra stress on the ssd
Correct, this is a common first time PC builder mistake.
I've seen many SSDs that become bent over time because of heat and this constant stress.
The small M.2 screw, should come with the motherboard box.
The SSD doesn't come with screws normally.
Only the Crucial sticks give you one.
To fix it, make sure you power off the PC completely, then turn off the power supply to avoid any potential mistakes.
Removing the GPU can help.
I saw that too. #cringe
