July 10th, 2013 - PC Build
I've decided to write down some basic instructions to build a pc. This is not a detailed step-by-step guide, just a quick introduction of the process.
Components:
cpu
motherboard
case
hard drive
memory
video card
dvd/cd drive
power supply
heatsink/fan
Steps:
Install the cpu onto the motherboard
Install the heatsink/fan onto the cpu
install the memory
screw down the motherboard into the case
install the power supply into the case
connect the power cables from the power supply to the motherboard
connect the case cables to the motherboard
install the hard drive into the case and connect the cables to the motherboard
install the cd drive into the case and connect the cables to the mohterboard
install the video card and connect power cables from the power supply
make sure you give power to any fans that came installed with your case
That's basically it. After you connect the power cord, monitor, keyboard and mouse, you should be ready to install your OS.
