Can a '90s PC builder build a gaming PC capable of running Doom 2016? Prepare to find out, in this video based around building a 2016 gaming PC! This video charts building a gaming PC from the ground up, based on knowledge from 20 years ago. Thanks to the incredible success of my Crowd Funding campaign, I have gathered all the components I need for a pretty decent gaming PC, which can pull some pretty high frame rates when running Doom 2016. So THANK YOU to every one who contributed to the campaign - the Doom review will come soon. In the mean time, take some joy as I try and work out how to build this machine, now where's that IDE cable?
Further videos utilising and based around this gaming PC are in the pipeline.
