technology How to create a PC

[BoomBlocks 26]

Hello everyone my name is BoomBlocks and i am making this post to help anyone who wants to make their own PC but does not know how to. I will walk you thru the steps in making one. First off you need to decide what you are using your computer for. You need to think if your using it for gaming,video production etc... that will decide where you can save money when building you pc. for example if you building a PC for video production you don't need a fancy motherboard build for gaming while for a gaming PC you need that motherboard so decide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:The case.
You need to select the correct case first because it tells you what you can and cant put in it. Smaller cases makes it so u need a smaller MB and smaller GPUs.

Here are some recommend cases:

Low Budget:

-Apevia X-Sniper 2 (http://imgur.com/Ko3v7hl)
High Budget:
-CM Storm Stryker(http://imgur.com/1Ac6St5)
-NZXT PHANTOM(http://imgur.com/cvEbn2W)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2: Selecting the MB.

For people who don't know if someone is talking tech and they say MB it ether standards for Mother Board or Mega Bit. But here w are talking about Mother Board. When selecting your MB be careful of what you select. Because your MB determines your max ram your CPU type and ram type. These are the life line factors of your MB. Not all ram or CPU can fit into the same slots. There are many of different slots to use just be aware of that. Also make sure your MB is the right size. Just see if you MB is a micro Atx, ATX, ect.. and match it with your case. An example of the slot is my MB has a LG1150 CPU slot witch means only a Intel processor will work and it has ddr3 and only that ram will work.

Here are some recommended MBs:
Gameing:
Low Budget:

Part 3: The CPU.

When picking a CPU you don't always need the best or most powerful but you need one because it is the brain of the PC. What processor you need depends on what you are going to be doing on your PC. There are a ton of different processors out there. i cant really tell you what processors are better for what rig because it all depends on what MB you have. Also the processor you get limits how much ram you can use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4: The Ram.

The Ram or Random Access Memory is one of the most important part because it holds the temp storage for the CPU to process. My advice is to get as much ram as your budget can handle because you can not have too much ram. My recommended minimum is 8GB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 5: The Hard Drive.


This part like all the others depends on what you are doing. But my advice is the more storage the better and you also need a reliable one. So my recommendation is some western digital Black,Green,or Blue. And get at least 1TB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 6: The peripherals:

For anyone who uses a PC they know they need a monitor, speakers, DVD drive and other things. In this section i really don't have any advice because this is all on your own preference. I just suggest you get a DVD drive and minimum one monitor (for obvious reasons).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 7: The Powersupply:

I only have one thing to say. The powersupply voltage only matters if it is too small so i recommend getting a Power supply that has enofh voltage to power you system and 750W should be good.

Great details, but sadly, money issues can hinder the progress.

I'll cover the PSU for you:

 

Don't buy a cheap one unless you like to see the world burn.

Money shouldn't be a real issue. Unless you wanna...step up your 'game'. Can't wait to see another update.

Well, if you're unemployed and no company has the desire to hire you, then yes, that can be an issue.

Hello, I work with computers and technology for a living. This is a common misconception that you need a huge power supply to power a gaming PC. There is really no reason to get a 1500W almost ever even if you are running an overkill setup. Believe it or not, a 500 is more than enough to run most mid-high end gaming rigs. A 750 watt will pretty much run nearly any rig you have without many problems.

 

 

Basically you are never going to need a 1500W PSU.

I have fairly high-end parts in my rig (i5-4590 and a GTX 970), my PSU is 620W 80+ Bronze, and I think that's a little overkill for my rig.

 

For the assembly, I also have you covered:
