TUTORIAL: How to build your own PC!


Recommended Posts

Building your own PC can be a rewarding and cost efficient way to purchase your own PC.

It is not as hard as you might think. The hardest part is really choosing your own components, which can become easy after you look around for a while and understand what works for you.

Newegg.com has created an awesome step-by-step video tutorial on how to choose your components for your PC, how to build your PC, and how to install windows and your hardware driver software.

It's a long tutorial, but it makes for an easy to follow visual representation on how to build your own PC.

Part 1 - Choosing Your Components:

Welcome to Newegg TV's How To Build a Computer tutorial!

This is Part 1, where we'll be covering the different components that make up a typical computer, as well as the different functions they perform. Also, we provide some advice on planning out your build and choosing the best parts to suit your needs.

Part 2 - Part 2 - The Build:

Welcome to Part 2 of Newegg TV's How To Build a Computer tutorial: The Build!

In this episode we've gone for epic-scale length and detail. We have two complete builds to share, and step-by-step instructions for how they're put together.

To make the video even longer, the first half covers an "external build", which involves connecting your core components outside the case to do a test boot and make sure everything is working. Defective parts are rare, but they can put a damper on your build if they're not identified early in the process.

Next up is installing parts into the case, cable routing, and the moment of truth: the first boot after assembly is complete. Enjoy!

Part 3 - Installing an Operating System & Finishing Touches:

Finally we come to Part 3 of Newegg TV's How To Build a Computer tutorial: Installing Windows & Finishing Touches. As a bonus Paul also takes some time at the end of the video for some Q&A, in response to comments from Part 1 and Part 2.
