Unboxing my Christmas Prezzie and building a computer

Описание: Happy New Year everyone, hope 2023 is a great year for you.
In this video, I show you the wonderful Christmas Present I received and how I added to it with purchases that arrived shortly after, thus enabling me to build a new computer that I then went on to use to edit this video.
The main purpose of building a new computer is to enable me to test a Saphire Vapor X - Radion R9 290 which had been given to me to repair. My old main PC would not be able to run it. There is however a twist to the tale which you'll find out at the end of the video.
It's a bit of a ramble and took ages to edit as there were a lot of twists and turns and over 10 hours wrth to whittle down, but I've managed to keep it to under an hour, so feel free to skip to different bits. It's not an exciting video by any means, more a recording of my toils and learning experience.
If there's anything I've trimmed that you'd like to see more of, let me know in the comments and I'll make a short to show them.
Enjoy. :)

Apologies for the distorted audio early on, didn't realise until after I'd finished the editing.
