We built a PC live on Twitch

For first-timers, building a PC is intimidating. So, why didn’t we try it? You can live onlineAre you able to speak in front of more than 100 people? Content. That’s why.

We set out with the help of GameStop to create a beefy rig for Simone de Rochefort, Polygon’s video producer. F1 2022. These little cars are her favorite. She’ll talk breathlessly about what one of the European car guys said to another one of the other European car guys at a press conference she woke up at 4 A.M. to watch. Occasionally, she’ll also talk about the races, too.

Since it It is the season of giving, it only felt right to help Simone achieve a life dream she’s held since earlier this year after she watched that car show on Netflix. The GameStop Online Shop was our first stop. We ordered lots of accessories and computer parts as well as driving games peripherals. With a lot of optimism (and some much-needed assistance from Polygon’s resident PC expert, Samit Sarkar) we managed to successfully build a computer in just two hours. And not only that — it actually turned on.

For all the action, check out the stream at the top. And tune into our Twitch channel December 1 for Simone’s cockpit ride and control of her computer-controlled car.
