Computer Build Part 3: Hard Disk, Optical Disk, and Graphics Card

In this final video in my computer building series I install a 1TB western digital hard drive, a basic Samsung DVD burner, and an Nvidia Geforce 260 core 216 graphics card. All good things must come to an end but I hope you enjoyed this series as much as I did creating it. For great content like this, feel free to subscribe.

  8. What was that “shut up” in the background at 3:45?

  9. what do I do if the computer says:
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
    ??? Please help ?

  10. wrong out graphics card in the wrong slot

  11. this video is very good

  12. When I say X58 board I mean the Gigabyte usb3 board.

  13. I liked how you mentioned the 32 mb of cache on the hard drive…. VERY important.!!!!I am getting ready to build the I7 950 computer and I need a tower that already has the ’set off’ brass screws or risers already pre-manufactured and ready for my board. Do you know of a case that is cheap (less than 200 dollars) that comes ready to go for a x58 board?

  14. did you use stata 1 2 or 3

  15. Dude Thanks for the video! Keep at it.

  16. Mad dumb you never put a graphics card in the last slot not just because it has the least ammount of airflow BUT because it doesnt run it at full power but im glad at the end you fixed it good build

  18. i have 2 slots on my pc for 2 graphic? card what happens if i put 2 diffrent card at same system what will happen?

  19. noob

  20. How high of a power supply would I need to run a graphics card like a HD Radeon 5750 smoothly? 500W?

  21. Nice job i’m upgrading an old system peice by piece eventually i will have a new system. not the best video but a very good start :) .

  22. obviously…he didn;t read the manual of the MB…

  23. your computer case confuzes me… you either already put the psu in when you installed the hdd or the case came with a psu which usually means its a cheap case but it doesnt look cheap at all unless the casue uses very thin sheet metal
