She Got It On The FIRST Try! - NZXT BLD Kit
Thanks to NZXT for Sponsoring today's video! Get your NZXT BLD kit today nzxt.co/BLDKitShortCircuit
Building a PC comes to us reasonably quickly at Linus Media Group, but we can't forget that everyone doesn't get the opportunity to make a PC every week. So NZXT created the BLD kit as it guides newcomers and families on how to build a PC for the first time! Hopefully, Sarah doesn't give it the shakes this time.
Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

I like that LTT rotates different staff members in front of the camera, it's always fun to see them get more comfortable over time
Especially staff members that were never hired to be on set in the first place 😂
Yeah this one feels like a huge step up in terms of comfort in front of the camera
I was just thinking that exact same thing.
and then they end up being lovable fan favorites.
Respect to all the LTT crew.

Hi
En-Zee-Ecks-Tee or En-Zed-Ecks-Tee?
@@timmybean8898 if youre french-canadian, you tipically say zed. Zee for the rest

@@moisesBTW It's only zee in the US. Every other English speaking country is zed.
I love Sarah's energy. Following her journey to becoming more comfortable with computer building has been great.
Sarah is the kinda person you wanna go out hit the town with. She’s a hoot
@@TheMelbournelad she’s not gonna fuck you bro
@@justabrokeredneck ild hope so. Kinda hard on other side of the world from me
pick me choose me u neek
She Likes 8 Inch Banana 🍌
3:48 "Man yells" in CC LMAOOO OT: Sarah is a great host for these kinds of videos and it proves that most people would be able to build a PC using the BLD kit.
To be fair... this is her third attempt. Pull someone off the street (or one of their neighbors) and ask them to do it and see how it goes - that'll be a real test.
Judging by her excitement, you can definitely see how fun PC building can be if you're provided with clear instructions
Any youtube channels you recommend for those instructions?
Hp builds pcs. so does Asus, acer, lenovo and so on and so on. But there has never been a private person who 'built' a pc. asssembling and building are two different things. Engineering a laptop from scratch is 'building a computer' All end users do is assemble 6 parts that only go together the right way. Not much building about it. It does make you sound smart to stupid people tho..
@@Mikael-jt1hk to assemble also constitutes as building but as you are trying to explain that can vary in complexity.
also 8 inch bananas
It's super fun when you didn't buy it and don't really care if something is scratched or drops or feels broken. Not to mention what happens if it doesn't just turn on when it's all finished. This is a really cool idea, but hopefully has some great tech support behind it.
I really love how Sarah’s resting face is a perpetual smile
I think it's partly because she smiles when she's nervous, haha. But she does also seem like a pretty bubbly personality.
It's interesting to me how she uses different parts for reference. More experienced builder goes for notches, edges, holes or something like that, but she goes for stickers, labels and shapes. That's why it's always important to get your product hands on to somebody who doesn't have a clue. I saw it many times as a developer with UI I created, different users used it differently from me and from each other. It's a wonderful source of improvement ideas.
100%. Users may approach the build differently. In this case, it really makes sense with Sarah being a graphic designer. She looks for design choices to match. I think that'll be one of the challenges for these kits moving forward. NZXT will need to make sure the manual stays up to date as new hardware becomes available. These build kits are really cool and lowers the barrier for entry.
I have built 10s systems but using I still always use stickers and labels as a sanity check
Nzxt making a kit build is pretty clever actually. They can be cheaper than a prebuilt and a nervous builder has all the support and help they need.
Year late, but also all that documentation probably already exists internally. Gussying it up would be a relatively easy job and then you can use the prettier version internally too.
I've seen a couple of channels showing the NZXT self-build and I think this has been my favourite. Some of the others have been more detailed, but this is the first that captures the fun and sense of achievement and confidence having this hand holding can give. Good stuff.
Dawid does tech stuff wife was featured assembling one of these in one of his recent videos.
She's the perfect candidate
@@1584283 Imagine how knowledgeable she'll be after a few years of Linus forcing her to build dozens of pcs because she's a goof.
Does it cost less,? self-assembly kit usually come with lower price but then again with that interactive guide included Im not sure.
helps that she is sooo cute too
Sarah's smiling face makes me happy. I love her energy.

I dream of the day when they get to host a video together
@@AnotherDWFan When it will happen, it will be insanely awesome
WARNING: THE BFF 10K IS FIRING
Sarah's transition of "back to screwing things" was perfect haha. LTT staff are golden.
The few girls in a group of tech-bros gotta stick together. (I know Linus tries to hire more women, but the ones that are qualified don't apply)
please do a madison vs sarah build off, wow that would be a funny one.....but sarah has come a long way in being comfortable on screen and its always great to see multiple LMG staff sit in front of the camera, always gives a different perspective from different areas of expertises and different jobs, designer, engineers, writers etc
I don’t think you’ve ever given a company as much value for their sponsorship bucks as you did with this video. What amazing presentation.
I'd love to see a video featuring Anthony's smooth calmness, Sarah's bubbly excitement, and Madison's insanity.
The unmatched trio!
Add Dennis for good measure
insanity is a really appropiate word for madison, still like her tho
Cut out the Madison part and it could be a great video.
@@mephistovonfaust yes
Love that ShortCircuit is a great opportunity to get other people to host. Also a great opportunity to show off NZXT BLD! Saw it on Jay's channel a while ago. It's nice seeing it and the instructions (oops! "Adventurer's Map") again.
Thanks!
@Hy EB Yup, "forgiven", because I'm not allowed to praise a company for doing something actually good by being able to explain to a newcomer how to do the daunting task of putting a computer together. Their Twitter is sad, their handling of the H1 was bad, their pricing of the H510 Flow is definitely not rad... Don't get on a mindless bandwagon just because. It's an objectively good thing-hate on them for actual good reasons, please.
@@ShortCircuit Where's COLTON??!
@Hy EB just cause you think it's easier to do now cos "hur durr back in my day we had to build our own cpus" doesn't mean that everyone knows how to do it at the start. Surely you haven't forgotten those who taught you how to build your own PC. Gatekeeping ain't gonna get this hobby nowhere
@Hy EB What Xu said. I mean no disrespect, "grandpa", but from being on the opposite end of the spectrum, it was daunting getting into PC building because my expectation was of what PC building is like was probably closer to what it was like in the 90s. So yes, I don't have as much experience. That's why I think things that help others who also don't have as much experience is, in fact, a good thing.
Sarah was an easy difficulty for NZXT to overcome. Dennis will be the true test!
"I leveled up!" after both sides of the RAM clicked in made me SO HAPPY. Great work Sarah!
Me: Sees from the thumnail that Sarah is holding a computer. Also me: PTSD flashbacks to "The Shakening" Edit: Just make one video with Dennis, Madison, and Sarah all in one video. All causing Linus extreme mental pain, and we would all never ask for anything again ever.
At least Linus isn’t handling the gpu xD
i feel you.
She's so gentle.
And Anthony please 🥵🥵🥵
@@TroglodyteIsaac Have Anthony direct the others to complete some very difficult task. Anthony is such a kind soul - it would be so entertaining (but also mean to Anthony), haha!
I love Sarah, I love how she’s become part of the LTT expanded universe. Sarah from the Merch team, Madison from Social and Janice from Accounting. Linus and his team hire awesome people.
I completely agree that LTT does a good job of hiring good people. Just a bonus that it translates into video!
Is that the same Janice from Accounting that torments John Oliver?
@@holidaymail 😮I never thought about that. Hmm interesting.
Sarah: "I have seen linus do this many times" Me: Please don't drop... Please dont' drop... Don't do what he does, do what he says...
I love Sarah content :) She's so honest and practical when it comes to tackling problems! And she seems so much more comfortable in front of the camera with every new video.
My daughter will need a computer in the next year or two. This is how we're going to do it. I want her to be fearless when it comes to computers, and I can't think of a better way to start her off than to have her build her own. I'm SO happy you guys offer this option and have done such a good job at putting this together. Well done! And Sarah - you rock! :)
It's actually a great idea I think. Someone new to computers doesn't have to worry about compatibility or support and it's cheaper than a prebuilt. I bet more companies do this too what with all the parts shortages you can guarantee you'll actually be able to get a GPU.
Thats one good dad you got there
I built a PC with my 10 year old nephew recently and it was great. Everything up until then was just watching tablet or using console all day. Just no thought tap icon and eveything works, so it's nice to actually get a little more in depth. It's also weird how many people still act like building a PC is still some sort of rocket science, it's basicly LEGO but even simpler since every component and cable has an easily identifiable slot on the motherboard. The most time consuming part is as always cable management and waiting for windows to update. The only bad thing about it right now are the horrible GPU prices.
Parenting done right!
@@Danielddiniz it’s pretty simple really… people like Sarah… and it’s been very well documented how bad she is with PCs… don’t try to make things an issue when they’re not at all…
I really love her geeking out about the design of the packaging, guide, etc.
She is the graphic designer/Artist at LTT after all.
I bet the graphic designers at NZXT really appreciated the shout-out from Sarah; I imagine they don't get much public recognition.
Pretty sure this build manual was inspired in Lego's, I never saw something like it related to PC building, it is awesome. Also the video was really cool, getting Sarah who works in Design/Art and have low experience on PC building who also did a 'not so great' job previously on her builds was the perfect touch and matched the NZXT proposition incredibly well. 10/10 video. Congrats guys
Awww that Sarah-Madison moment was so cute 7:14
Sarah: “Does everyone use this to unbox with?” Linus the boss: pull out his Spyderco bug
Man, my friend had a spyderco knife that was like a raptor claw, I opened it and expected it to require a bit more force and the damn thing flew open and cut me good. Scary knife. EDIT : Looked it up. Civilian G-10. A 332$ knife. Damn. Scary knife too, it could literally gut someone.
@@Gatorade69 it’s a small knife that’s on his keychain which is then connected to his lanyard
@@Jdudhhsuxbsksj Yeah I looked it up. Would like a knife like that or any Spyderco knives. Just mentioning how sharp Spyderco knives are, good knives. I have a little Gerber knife I can fit into my wallet that comes in handy in situations like that. I just like Knives.
@@Gatorade69 also the matriarch 2 with an emerson opener. amazing defense knived
Sarah really has the Anthony affect going for her. Whenever she appears it's instantly a great video.
that big smile of hers does help a lot .
This is brilliant! I can totally see this as my daughter's christmas gift. More than a pc, a nice experience!
I love Sarah's energy in the videos! She really puts a smile on your face! Now I want a video of Sarah guiding someone else who has never built a PC without any instuctions and without help from the rest of the LTT group. Awesome video Sarah and the rest involved in the making of this😄
She just can't stop smiling. It's extremely contagious, I don't how they manage to keep a straight face in LMG
On top of that, she also is a professional. NZXT should take her suggestions for the manual to heart.
The Zead is killing me. Like zead sounds like a whole nother word, not a letter
@@Stefan_Smith unlike double u
@@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 didn't she make the banana for scale?
@@Stefan_Smith Um. That is how the letter is pronounced all the world over.
Sarah is so heckin' adorable. Her excitement during just the unboxing was great. Too many times it's just "dump all the stuff out" but she was genuinely excited.
I'm now an instant fan! More content from her in the future.
Yeah. I like her very much.
Where is that birdie girl
What?! She's intolerably irritating!
Yes, I am a total fan
I build my very first pc in July this year, absolutely loved the experience. I actually got all my pc knowledge from LMG. Watched countless build guides and build logs, watched every single ROG Rig Reboot. And then had the confidence to build it myself. Turned out utterly amazing.
Her voice cant go as high as Linus but she still sounds excited. She's learned a lot from the secret shopper series till now she should do more builds, her skills are on par with Austin E.
Shit could've gotten real when Maddison showed up! Also, this product is actually a fantastic idea. PC hardware are now giant expensive electrical lego pieces thanks to industry standardisation. Props to Sarah for demonstrating how "unscary" assembling a PC is.
Maddison's "You're not my dad!" was priceless in her build video.
Not gonna lie, I’m actually pretty impressed by this entire product from NZXT. The manual looks to be amazing. I understand what the components of a PC are for the most part, but when it comes to which plug goes where, which socket is what for the wiring, that stuff I don’t know. So it really does sound like if I wanted to build a PC for the first time from scratch this would be an amazing product.
and not only does their manual and labeling make it super easy, they actually wrote a "quest" into the manual. that's the "level up" thing she was talking about. the illustrations show each new part that you're working with, and little Puck adventurers are discovering that part, as if an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider flick. it's so well thought out
Hooray for noob-friendly documentation! Every manufacturer or developer of anything should take a cue from this. I'm looking at YOU, Linux distro developers.
For building a PC it's generally difficult to put something where it'd cause harm anyway. Like it's made difficult for even intentional incorrect setups to cause any damage. could plug the GPU power into the CPU power plugs but only a poor quality PSU should make that cause damage as good quality won't power on when there a short to ground, mobo power will only accept the mobo power connector and ram can only be inserted the correct way. Worse you can likely do is a suboptimal setup. No dual channel ram, GPU in a slower slot and such. Noob friendly takes out the frustration for new builders. But, the only expected risks are really just using a underpowered PSU and having that being pushed too hard. Though those should also just shutdown before any damage occurs. Anything else will usually just result in suboptimal performance, or not booting up. No hardware damage though.
@@davidbass6780 lol you've obviously never accidentally plugged you're PCIE 4 pin into the CPU auxiliary 4 Pin, lets out the magic blue smoke right damn quick!
@@jamieholmes342 the pcie 4 pin fits in the CPU power port? I never heard of that before? Tbh I never tried that either though.
I like how she just goes with the flow and is herself in these videos. Considering she's not been on camera that much most people would be way more nervous, so very much a natural talent for doing these videos.
Over the last year especially we get to see more and more of everyone at LME, and it's cool to see how everyone picks up on different things. I love your perspective Sarah. Thanks!
She has to do more videos. She transmits happiness
or she is nervous and smile because of it
Sarah: I need a knife! Jono: *throws something in Sarah's direction* Sarah: *Goes to catch it even though it might be a knife* Me: *Gets the first aid kit ready*
Nah. I assumed it was some kind of folding knife (like the Swiss Army one I use) or an extending knife (like you often see used in industry), and that it was in its “safe” mode.
I definitely would not throw knives around, mostly bananas for scale. - Jono
"Scissor me!"
i love the joy and enthusiasm in Sarah's videos. It's always entertaining, and it's also super random! Love it!
you know I've watched enough LTT to know that things just fail, even the guys who have been doing it for years can mess up, drop something, use the wrong screw, measure the case wrong, not match up the specs. The videos don't always go smoothly. So it's nice to see Sarah proudly succeed
I am three minutes in and I just love Sarah's enthusiasm and the fun she is having. More Sarah! More Sarah! More Sarah!
I absolutely love that Linus’ aim is to transition as many employees to audience facing roles as possible. Watching everyone grow into their video personas is so awesome :D
We need a full length video of this
you have such great energy please keep doing videos I love watching everything you do
Cool, Next episode: MADISON :D it's been a while
I miss Mads!
@Joe np
@Poeta Del requinto Spam much?
@@Thebatness spam much much?
Sarah and Maddison should have their own show already
This is actually such a cool idea for NZXT to have done. Big props. This would be a great way for a first time builder to get experience.
Great job Sarah! Echoing what others have said... your confidence and experience shows throughout this build. Third time really is the charm. Your next build will be even better, and I look forward to seeing it
@5:30 the little leg kick she does makes me so happy. lol
She did an infinitely better job than the infamous Verge build (not talking about Stefan's redemption arc)
Redemption arc XD. Sounds like an anime spin off. I would totally watch it.
yeah the editing and script on that were absolutely atrocious.
@@Miguel-ng5wm there’s a video on LTT channel few weeks ago. Stefan did it properly with Linus. Apparently he had issues with the Verge team just rushing the build.
i did pause and get some popcorn, was worth the effort. Great video Sarah.
If you’re in need of a magnetic screw driver but you only have a plain metal screwdriver but you have a magnet around you can magnetize a screw driver. Run the magnet up or down the screwdriver a few times in the same direction (up or down) to magnetize.
A build guide with Sarah and Madison, absolute chaos dragon energy build, do it!
She is becoming one of my favorite people on here, her and Anthony are top tier.
4:39 that’s what she said 😎
This was fun 😊 With parts availability these days I can see this kit being pretty handy to be honest. Looks really well thought out!
7:21 An LTT video finally passes the Bechdel Test 😂
Do you think it is the first time in 12 years? And would that be a record time for a medium to take to pass it? 🤣🤣🤣
Actually a really cool concept by NZXT, not sure it has a large market appeal but I really like this.
I could see these being amazing for school classes and workshops. Good instructions are hard to come by for teaching stuff like this!
I haven't had good experiences with NZXT products but I do love this as a concept. They really went above and beyond on the instructions and labeling. Now if they could just build a GOOD AIO and have more than 1 case that is half way worth using they would be on to something.
She’s always so upbeat! Love it!!
She is adorable. Awesome video. I love the fact that they include more staff members to do these videos.
Sarah's got so much positive energy. Always puts a smile on my face
Better guide than the the verge pc build that's for sure.
So true 😅
Not planning on buying a new PC, but I would love to just buy that instuction book, looks really clean!
We love you Sarah!! The build you made so far are awesome. Those videos are just increatible!!! Her energy end the "EEEhhhh" noise is the best =)
Sarah is SO much more confidant, both on camera and building a PC! We love to see it. MORE SARAH and MADDISON CONTENT PLEASE!!!
This feels like a really nice middle ground for PC's. There's a lot of fun and excitement that comes with building your own, not to mention better value/customization (generally), but it's also a very daunting undertaking if you're newer to the space. This let's you capture a lot of that with bit of help for the hard parts.
I could watch Sarah all day long, she is amazing on camera, is so upbeat when presenting and her enjoyment is infectious. I would love to see Sarah present more, but I understand she has a proper job at LTT and may I say she does that amazingly well as is representative in the LTT store merchandising.
Great job Sarah. Adorable the whole way through and getting much more comfortable with being the host and computers.
i love how everyone just has beef with jono for different reasons
*Sarah smiles The World: "We did boys! Depression is no more!"
Sarah was a really good choice for this, both due to her aptness for the "new PC builder" experience, and for her understanding of design to look at the materials and instructions.
Reminded me a lot of the Kano products. Great way to have people ease into the world of PC.
Always cool to see how hyped up Sarah is whenever she's building a new computer. Would love to see her build more advanced setups as she gains more experience.
even LTT's "resident normal person" has built 2 PCs before building the PC with instructions geared towards first timers. they ran out people who didn't build a PC before 😂
It's only Madison left because she spent more time ripping on Linus than building her own computer 😀
I think they have quite a few left, but they don't want to/aren't allowed to appear on camera (yet). At least that's what I would assume just based on the size of their team.
Fun build vid. Those NZXT kits are great for new builders.
Linus’ reaction to Sarah removing the GPU at (3:49) makes me laugh so much! 😂
You know, Sarah really well represents the above average consumer, and thats good, we need more of her
OMG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AS SOON AS I HEARD IT WAS A THING!
awesome video, awesome hosting. a lovely video to wake up to
Epic video lmg, don't forget about the tweezers and to screw in with confidence- verge
I'm pretty impressed
I love Sarah vids, she’s always so fun to watch plus we got a bonus Madison appearance :D
The ad when Sarah smashes us with the manual was so well timed 👌
Only just getting back into this stuff after years away, so have been watching these videos as KZhead recommends them. In the last 2 days I've watched the Secret Shopper and first PC build videos. Sarah is a breath of fresh air, and is really growing as a presenter, and her knowledge seems to be growing. Much less "thingy" and "wotsit" type approach now, and more "I know what this is". I noticed she's also listed as writer for this. Nice. For someone taken on as graphic designer I think she's becoming a great front person for LMG. More Sarah videos please.
I love this this was so great! I kinda hope y’all have a “newbie” pc build race with all of your less pc knowledgeable LTT members that would be sooo much fun to watch!!!
Sarah's smile is contagious, she is so precious 🥺 also, Sarah and Madison together would be a force to be reckoned with!
I think it's strange to call any fully formed adult precious. Well maybe a 90 year old grandmother but even then it might be a little weird.

I'm amaze for that instruction build, they did not include pre test before put motherboard in case, but in the end the PC still booted 😳
Honestly, i love this video. It shows how fun, educational and exciting building a pc can be!
Sarah, Anthony (god) and Madison have been the best LTT hires.
Anthony (dork)
Riley? Luke? And that really discounts the behind the scene stuff. The store really is an integral part of the content and the hires so those people working on merch and the other machinery behind the scenes are equally important. Ultimately it's a team and being likeable on camera isn't the only important job. As the social media coordinator if you didn't like Madison it would be difficult to imagine how she could be good at her job. But if you are an incredible designer bringing the best products to LTT store you don't need to be good on camera at all to be a great hire, neither would someone in accounts.
@@theauthenticsteve I really liked Luke at LMG. The king of jank. Err putting something together in a matter of minutes. PS I like Jank that works or at least is a good effort.
@@theauthenticsteve they're fire too!
@@fffUUUUUU boo
I got my BLD kit yesterday and was sent a motherboard with an AM4 socket but an intel CPU. NZXT is going to replace the motherboard, but has specific packing instructions for the motherboard and now I need to go purchase supplies that meet their shipping return criteria. I hope others have better luck with their kits.
This definitely seems like an interesting idea and something I might want to consider if/when I replace my tower, though both versions of the BLD kit are sold out currently.
Madison walks by, "i'm screwing things now" *giggles* madison's a bad, i mean good influence to the workspace 😂
Sarah: I'm screwing things now **starts laughing** Classic LTT humor, love it :D
2:29 Legitimately I had the same reaction. I've built several desktops, servers, and nas/sas in my time and thought 'this' would be a fun experience even as an experienced builder....time to watch and see if I'm disappointed.
the more i see about these kits, the more i like them. they obviosly aren't meant to be sold to someone who is comfortable putting together a pc from individualy purchased components on their own, but they can take a lot of the guesswork out of it for people that would like to assemble their own system. as a result these people will easily be able to upgrade their system down the line, which would be much harder had they instead purchased an aio. well done NZXT
