In this part of the video, the presenter guides viewers who have just built a new gaming PC on the steps to get it fully operational. Starting with basic setup, they emphasize connecting a monitor, keyboard, and mouse correctly, ensuring the monitor is connected to the graphics card and not the motherboard. They discuss common issues such as incorrect connections or power supply settings. The process continues with accessing the BIOS by pressing the delete key repeatedly during boot-up. Once in the BIOS, the presenter checks hardware detection, enables XMP for optimal memory performance, and adjusts memory speeds if necessary. The next step involves creating a bootable Windows USB drive using a flash drive and the Windows bootable media tool, which will be used to install Windows on the new PC.
