These are the last three steps to building a gaming PC. Like the rest of the steps, these are fairly simple.
Plugging Stuff In:
In this step all you have to do is plug things into each other. This mostly depends on your mother board layout, use the mother board manual to help you find all the slots.
First, plug the power supply into the motherboard. Then plug the fans into the power supply.
Inserting a Graphics Card:
Inserting the graphics card is simple, insert the card into the designated slot in the mother board. Then, like everything else in the computer, plug it in to the power supply.
Powering up and trouble shooting:
This is the last step to building a PC. You just turn on your computer and set up everything. Create all the accounts you want on the computer and install all the programs you want on the computer.
Now you're done! If you have followed these simplified steps, you've built a gaming PC. Now you can tell your friends all about it! If you want a more detailed guide just follow this link--->http://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-build-a-gaming-pc-a-beginners-guide/
If you have any questions ask away in the comments below.
In this blog I shall explain the next three steps to the building process.
Installing a Power Supply:
Take your power supply and implement it in the designated location (near the back). Place the fan on the power supply next to the vent at the back of the computer case. Screw the screws to connect the power supply to the case.
Insert Hard drive/SSD(Solid State Drive):
Take your hard drive and insert it into one of the hard drive trays in the computer. Or take your SSD and screw one of trays from the case on the back of it. Then, screw on the SSD onto the back of your computer case.
Plugging in the Drives:
Take the SATA data cable and SATA power cable and plug them into the SSD and/or the hard drive. Then connect the other ends of those cables to the designated slot on the mother board.
That is all for today's blog, in my next one I will finish describing how to build a gaming PC.
In this tutorial I will go over the next three parts to building your very own gaming PC.
Inserting RAM:
If you don't already know, RAM stands for Random Access Memory.
After you are done attaching the cooling system for the CPU, you inset the RAM sticks into the designated slots on the motherboard. Unlock the slots by pushing the tabs on the side of the slots.
Snapping in the I/O shield:
Open up the main cavity of the computer case, and take the I/O shield (a shiny metal piece with holes) to the designated slot in the back of the computer.
Installing the Motherboard:
Unscrew the mother board stand offs then place your mother board in the designated location inside the case.
That is all for now. Next time I will describe the next three steps to building your gaming computer. This blog shares data from the same site I used in my last blog.
When picking out parts for your gaming computer, you want to know the specs of the computer you want. Do you want good graphics, good fps (frames per second), big storage? Then that will cost more. You want to find the perfect balance between price and quality.
Finding the right price
An important part to buying a computer is finding the right price. What I mean by "the right price" is how much you are willing to spend on something. Use the internet to find good prices. Use the website of the tech store you want to go to if you want to buy the parts in person. And use Amazon if you want to order online, Amazon tends to have good prices for good quality. But, on the internet the wait for a specific part (or parts) is longer than just going to the store, and you have to pay shipping and handling. Moral of the story, find something not too expensive.
Finding good quality
Good quality is important for finding parts, because you want your computer to be the best. For good sound quality, get a sound card not implemented onto the motherboard already. For good graphics quality, get a graphics card that has 1080p graphics. For fast processing, get large amounts of RAM (Memory). If you have a lot of games, get large amounts of storage (2 terabytes or more). These are only some suggestions, but all of this is up to your own personal judgment. But, companies like MSI, Logitech, and Ironside have good quality parts, and are relatively cheap.
In my next blog/tutorial, I shall begin to piece the computer together starting with the mother board and the processer.
This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to build your own desktop, gaming PC. If you don't know what a gaming PC is. It is a desktop computer (or laptop) that is specific for gaming, meaning it has higher quality than Macs and Laptops.
Finding the Right Price
Before you get all the parts for you computer, you have to set a price range. Most of you could get a decent computer for a good price, but, sometimes, it's cheaper to make your own. So figuring out what you want and how much you want to spend is a good idea. Use the internet (if you have access to it) to search how much each part costs. But, buy your parts at a store to make sure you are not getting scammed.
Assemble all the parts (bringing it all together)
Get all the parts required to build your personal computer. These include: a processor, a graphics card, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a power supply (battery), a mother board, memory, storage, and a computer case.
You will also need a screw driver (magnetic) for the case. You will also need zip ties to hold lose wire together. Also, you will need thermal paste and a grounding strap. If you don't know, a grounding strap is to prevent static shock from blowing up the computer.
If you want better sound quality, buy a separate sound card for the mother board, everything will sound better.
