How and/or where can I learn how to build myself a custom Desktop Computer?
I am thinking of getting another desktop computer in the near future … but, I can’t find one from a major PC company (hp, dell, etc.) that has all the things I want in the same PC. I know I can get all the things I want individually, but I don’t know how to put them together!
So, where can I learn how to put one together once I’ve bought all the parts individually? Any website or anything that you know of would help! Thanks.
Building a computer is simple. All the instructions you need for assembly are included with the motherboard and case manuals.
Just make sure that you have all the parts you need. Things to note:
Have one slot on the motherboard corresponding with your video card, sound card, etc.
Have enough slots for the RAM you plan on using.
Match FSB and Socket Type between motherboard and CPU
Shameless Plug to Myself:
I’ve recently built an amazing gaming computer for a friend. Unfortunately, he’s hit on some tough times and was unable to complete the transaction.
I’ll be leaving for the University of California at Berkeley in a couple days and cannot bring this extra computer with me. At this point I’m just trying to break even. You would only pay what I paid ($978.70) and shipping/paypal fees.
Here’s an eBay listing for more information:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEUSX:IT&item=180278696132
I overclocked it to 4.0 GHz from stock 3.0 and it’s absolutely stable. I’m not interested in making any profit on this – it just needs to go before I do. If there are any issues I will always be available for troubleshooting; though I’ve never had any problems with any computer I’ve built.
Please contact me ASAP at evan.kim.390@gmail.com if you’re interested and we can definitely work something out.
