Video Guide - How to Build a Gaming PC

MicroCenterOfficial

Earlier this year, YouTuber Austin Evans visited one of our stores and built a budget gaming PC. And, while the year may almost be over, his video tutorial for putting a PC together will always be helpful, whether you're a first-timer looking for a tutorial or life-long builder trying to pick up a few new tricks.

What was the out the door cost of this build?  Does that motherboard support 802.11ax aka WiFi6?  Is it VR ready with a USB type C connection for oculus link?  Thanks

Here's the full build using our Custom PC Builder : https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder-amd.aspx?load=6b7f7a42-9af4-4e66-b085-a80319f40abd

The total cost before tax is $1,092.92. Tax will vary depending on your state.

This motherboard natively supports only a wired connection - However, if you wanted to add WiFi 6 support, you could add one of these network adapters.

It is VR ready and does have a USB type C 3.1 connector on the motherboard that would work with the Oculus Link!

My daughter wants to build her first computer. Can she come into the Chicago store and get help?

Hello @Jennyls and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum. Yes she can come to the store and we can help pick out parts and answer any questions your daughter has about building a pc. If she already has the pc built and is having trouble with it booting or posting, we can certainly help in the store, but for our techs to look at the pc build, there is a $39.99 fee for them to take a look at the pc.

Selecting parts and Q&A is free.

MC used to have "clinic" days that had various themes and I think one was hands on how to build your own. Alas they are stopped during plague but hopefully will resume.
