I'm fairly experianced and I know what motherboard goes with what case and stuff I also know there is instructions and walkthroughs everywhere! But I just wanted to know some first hand experiance from you guys... Can you remember when you constructed your first pc and once you got it going was u proud of it :01:
Take a look here
Actually assembling the hardware is surprisingly easy.
The two difficult parts are picking the right components and then troubleshooting any problems that might crop up.
I'd probably break all the parts, I was looking at the guide adamp2p posted and the guy building the pc said you have to be careful and not rough.. that would be hard for me. :lol:
you dont have to be that careful...its not hard
;) I think audio-visual help will be wonderful for u so if u have sometime check this site out

It's easy. For me though, I had to take my time. I was concerned I'd break something. But bit by bit, I got a screaming computer for ~$425USD. It would of cost me ~$900-$1200 store bought. :lol:
it's not hard. just make sure u know wat ur doing. do some background research. the assembling isn't hard. like clocker said, the troubleshooting is harder.
I can't wait hopefully everything goes ok, It'll take my knoledge base up a level.
You can save yourself a world of time if you assemble everything outside of the case and power it up the first time.
That way you know that she'll POST at least before you get everything all installed and spend a few hours ziptieing all your cables nice and neat.
