Why
build your own PC? Well, it's fun, challenging, inexpensive, rewarding and
you'll learn a lot about the computer itself.
You also get to build a computer tailored to your exact needs! Probably
one of the nicest things is that when you need to upgrade in the future, you'll
know exactly what to do and how to do it.
What
do you need to have? You need to have a lot of patience, a little common sense,
and most importantly: confidence!
You
will also need a few basic hand-tools; nothing complicated – a few screwdrivers
(Philips, slotted and Torx) and a pair of pliers. Before starting, make sure you have a clean
workspace – your kitchen table should do just fine.
The
first step is to get organized! Make sure to click on the Parts List/Shopping List. This will list all the parts you will need
for your PC - you can also print this list and take it with you when you go
shopping for your new PC components.
