Briony BUILDS a GAMING PC. LIVESTREAM UNCUT w/ BLOOPERS!

KitGuru has produced many ‘guide' videos and articles over the years, but today we present something different. If you are interested in building your first system but are too apprehensive about things that could go wrong then you can be assured you are not alone!

KitGuru reviewer Briony joined us last year and has been reviewing many peripherals, systems and hardware for KitGuru since she joined the team – but she admits she has only built a handful of systems from the ground up.

She wanted to do a livestream of her building the system, mistakes and bloopers – UNEDITED.

Her home internet connection didn't prove stable enough, so we recorded it live and uploaded the video to our YouTube channel. It's a long video but it should give faith to other newbies and inexperienced users because building a well performing system is not as tricky as you might think. We only sped up a few of the really dull parts.

We spoke with Corsair, ASUS, Intel and Philips and they immediately jumped on board – sending over some fantastic colour schemed components for Briony's build. We want to thank them for their support.

Be sure to check out the links below if you want to buy any of the components to build your own white themed system!
