Some users choose to assemble new personal computers by themselves. This approach allows you to save about 20% of the cost of the finished PC and choose all the components yourself.
The main element in the assembly of a personal computer is the motherboard. The choice of all other components will depend on this device. It is very important to choose the right motherboard model based on your preferences for other devices.
After choosing a motherboard, you need to pick up the rest of the hardware. It is necessary to take into account your financial capabilities and needs. When buying components, it is recommended to select the required models of certain devices in advance. This will allow you to build a computer with balanced performance parameters. For example, you should not buy a processor that is too powerful, while saving on the motherboard and RAM.
Now you need to select a computer case. Make sure it matches the motherboard form factor. This will avoid the hassle of installing equipment inside the enclosure. Be sure to consider the cooling system. Think about how many coolers you need and where to install them.
After purchasing the components, you must proceed directly to the assembly. You will need a Phillips screwdriver set and thermal paste. The latter accessory is often sold with a central processing unit. You need to start the assembly with the preparation of the system unit and the installation of the motherboard. Remove the metal plates from the back of the unit in advance. This is required to install a video card and PCI devices.
Now you need to install the central processor, apply thermal paste to it and start installing the cooling radiator. It is recommended to connect power cables and additional cables to the motherboard. Some wires are quite difficult to connect after installing the rest of the components. Install the remaining devices in the designated slots and check the operation of the computer.
