In this video I build a new video editing PC for 2023 to replace the machine I’ve been using for the past nine years. My old system was starting to make weird noises and I knew it was on its way out, so I unbox everything and then walk through the build step-by-step—from the Phanteks Enthoo Pro case and Corsair RM1000x power supply, to the Asus Prime Z790-P WiFi motherboard, Intel i9-13900KF, and 64GB of Corsair DDR5. I also upgrade the GPU to an MSI RTX 3080 (12GB), which is a big jump from the 1070 I was running before. I show how I approach the install order (I like getting the power supply in first because it’s hard to reach later), how I mount the Corsair iCUE H150i liquid cooler, and how I manage the fan/RGB hub wiring. I also share a couple real-world lessons from the build—like referencing the motherboard manual often, paying attention to fan airflow arrows, and the fact that installing an M.2 drive is a lot easier before a huge graphics card goes in. Once it’s up and running on Windows 11 (with Classic Shell because I like the old-school look), the system is performing flawlessly so far, and I’m very pleased with how it turned out.
