Building PCS for dummies (Darkchild Edition)

[roe-ur-boat]

Darkchilds internet is dying so I'm posting this for him. xD Does anyone want him to make a tut on how to build a PC. He's helped me with mine and he's really good so just say yes or no in the poll and if he gets enough yes he will.

If everyone votes, I'll even put fotos of freya! (Freya = My pc's pet name)

[roe-ur-boat]

I've always wanted to see Freya. xD. I wonder what I'll call my PC when I make it. I'm thinking of "roe-ur-boat jnr". xD

Well there we go there is three yes and 0 no so I guess you will make one:biggrin: Can't wait

it isn't that hard really,you just have to decide what you want in it processor and GPU wise then look for a good mobo that can give you both then from there get RAM, a PSU, a case and a hard drive thats compatible and any optical drives....googling lots is a good idea though...very good idea :D

[roe-ur-boat]

It's not as easy as that as I learned.... Everything has to be compatible with each other

thats were google comes in. but really, its just the mobo thats the really tricky part i think. as long as you have a compatible processor, compatible RAM and a compatible GPU then thats doing well there. and as long as the PSU has enough juice for all the stuff in the case then it'd be grand.oooh,don't forget buying fans.. XD

I suppose but for me, who didn't know even a little about building pcs, a person to guide me through it helps.

Make that 5! I think it its a good idea. I'd love to have a go at making one myself, but its a matter of not enough time and money!

[roe-ur-boat]

Well the reason I'm making a PC is because I just got a job with good pay:biggrin: and my parents' PC is starting to slow down with all the stuff I'm putting on it.
