Re: Looking For Step By Step Instructions
As it pertains to what?
It differs person to person
1. Pick Components
2. Buy Components
3. Assemble
Take motherboard, attach CPU, Cooler, Memory
Take case, attach fans and Opticals, install PSU
Place Motherboard et al in case
Attach Video Card and other peripherals cards
Attach power to all components
Plug power cable to PSU and into outlet, attach monitor, printer et al.
Boot, install OS, enjoy

sorry I wasnt very clear. Im looking for a reference to assemble. Your instructions seem like they cut to the chase.dicecca112 wrote: Take motherboard, attach CPU, Cooler, Memory

Also, do you guys use wrist straps or anti static gloves? Ive even heard of people just pluging there PSU in and its supposed to ground.

I never do, I just make sure I'm not on a rug when I assemble and that I ground myself (touch something metal like a doorknob)
I don't understand your PSU question. All PSUs have a ground, its in the plug.

I forget where I read it. But, i guess you install the PSU and plug it in...but make sure the PSU switch is off. Something like that......dicecca112 wrote:I never do, I just make sure I'm not on a rug when I assemble and that I ground myself (touch something metal like a doorknob)

Re: Looking For Step By Step Instructions
it'll be switched off automatically. Your motherboard is what turns it on.
the step you are at.
get the power supply and screw it in your computer case. from there. connect the only connector that connects to your motherboard.
don't rub your feet and play leap frog on carpet with parachute pants on before running to your motherboard tho

Re: Looking For Step By Step Instructions
when i did my first build a few months back - the mother board manual and the CPU manual were very helpfull.. once you get the board in your case and the CPU in the board its just basically plug every thing in and hope it posts i got lucky and got it right the first time.
Core i5-6500 - Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR4 2133 - MSI 2080Ti - Antec 750W - Crucial 525GB SSD - Windows 10 64bit - ASUS 32" LED
Re: Looking For Step By Step Instructions
I actually helped an out of state friend by referring him to youtube or google video. he searched for keywords like "install video card" and "install processor" and it came up with some very basic instructional videos that walked him through the whole process. he said it was super simple after he watched all that, and hes never seen the inside of a computer before that then built his own system!
if i would have thought to check that legitreviews though, that link looks like it would have helped out alot too..

Re: Looking For Step By Step Instructions
if you can pass pre-school you can build a computer. Its just the knowledge you learn that makes you smarter about what you do.
It's like that ball that has the shapes like stars circles, and squares. Sometimes you can get the star in the square but, you know if it fits it goes there. If you gotta twist and mess with it. its wrong.
