Build Your Own Computer

When building a pc, one needs to consider what they are going to use the PC for. For a college student, some uses of a desktop pc could consist of gaming, video editing, and running software. All three of these rely on each part of the computer to perform the task. One component used heavily in all three of the tasks is the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU is a piece of computer hardware that

According to Brian Benton, a IT director/chief engineering technician, one of the reason to build a computer it’s because “It’s much easier to get exactly what you want”

The final major component you’ll need is the power supply. This does just as the name implies, it powers the computer. Depending on what you plan on using the computer for will determine the “size” of power supply you’ll need. Just as I said with picking the case, wait to pick this out until you figure out how much power you’ll need.

When building a pc you need to keep a few things in mind such as budget and reasons to build it. Other things you need to keep in mind is what add-ons or things you want with it such as do you want ddr3 or ddr4. Would you need a type c port, usb 2.0 or 3.0. theres also storage do you want an hdd or an ssd. How many sata port do you want or need to run your drives and what watt power supply you need. And finally do you need a gpu or not and would you want to sli.

To build a computer you have to consider what type of computer you are designing to choose the right motherboard and CPU, since not every CPU goes with every motherboard.

To build your own computer (which I have done a couple time) at a minimum you need a central processing unit, a motherboard, random access memory, graphics processing unit (graphics card), hard drive or a solid-state drive (SSD), power supply unit, and a computer case.

I have taken a part so many devices for the purpose of learning. Some of the devices I was able to put back others failed. One of these failures devices was HDD (Hard Disk Drive). HDD is the most delicate device in the computer. I took carefully the HDD drive apart to see and learning how does it work and function. But as careful I was the device still failed because the device was too delicate the smallest mistake will brake some of the parts and the device was complex to put back together. Also my 2nd HDD failed as I was cleaning my computer because dust went inside. So If I was to redesign the HDD I would make some of the parts more rigid and not easy to brake, also cover the hard drive with a protective case to prevent dust, and liquid from going inside.

There are a vast variety of different brands to choose from like Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, Amd, Nvidia, and more. The color scheme is also entirely up to personal preference. RGB lighting is an option on some pre built computers but not all and maybe it is not wanted in the build. RGB basically means any color that you want you can choose with a remote or a switch. Another thing is that most sites do not give an option to choose the case. The case is a very important factor when building a computer. Some sites like CyberPowerPC do provide the option to choose specific parts, but they are limited to only a curtain amount and they charge full price for most of the parts. Sometimes they have special deals but it is not hard to find a better deal on that same part without purchasing something else first. They also do not even have an option for colored lacing for you wires, or a custom liquid cooling loop.

1. Carefully remove the Motherboard, and place it on top of the anti-static bag it came in, and then place that on top of the box.

The first portion of the computer build for either casual or hardcore, is the CPU. There are two major companies to pick from, Intel and AMD.The only difference in the two is the compatibility with certain motherboards. Whichever is picked, Intel or AMD, will help narrow the decisions on the motherboard, which will in turn help figure out the RAM needed. After the decision has been made of one company or the other, the next step is to pick which CPU from either company is the right one for the builder. Intel has the new

Next are the RAM modules. the ram count might be more than one but that's fine. if it's more than 1 you will have to configure it in the bios after the build is complete. okay, now just fit the ram in its own slot. it should be right beside the processor socket. Now your motherboard is all good to go in the case! lift up the motherboard and hover it over the case. there should be some screw holes that match up to the ones on the motherboard. Carefully lower it down and secure it with screws. Part 2 is complete! you are halfway there! next is to install the hard drive. on the back of the case, there should be a separate slot for the hard drive. it should have brackets that adjust to your hard drives' size. adjust it and pull out a SATA connection from the hard drive box. this should plug right into the base of the motherboard. next, we will have to route all the connections from the power supply and the connections from the case for the lights, power button, the USB ports and the case fans. the cabling in the case should come bundled. all you need to do is find the numbers on the cables and match them up to the motherboard. *The next part is if you have a graphics card. a graphics card isn't necessary unless you plan to do some heavy gaming. but if u do have one, you should line up the golden part under the graphics card to the one on the motherboard. keep pushing it in until you hear a click and it held on firmly. screw in the graphics card to keep it secure.

When it comes to building a computer versus buying one, there are many things that can come into account. One must consider things such as price, time, and knowledge. The cost of the entire computer if buying a computer, and the price of the individual parts if you are building. Time is taken into account because building it can take much more time because of troubleshooting, and separate part shipping, where as buying one means it is made at the company, and then shipped to you. Knowledge is taken into account because if the person knows next to nothing about computers they will have considerable trouble building a computer, and buying one takes away that aspect of it.

     You will know want to take your RAM and place them in the slots they were designed for on the PC board. You will then want to take the IDE cable that came with the case and plug it into the PC board where the IDE 1 is labeled. You will then take the other end of the cable and plug it into your CD-ROM. Continue to plug the middle of the cable into your hard drive making

Our customer has requested a custom built home PC to replace an older, outdated system. The customer has identified specific requirements that the PC must meet. These requirements are listed in Table 1. Component selection to meet the requirements listed in Table 1 is detailed below. All components are new, not refurbished. The individual components with price breakout are listed in Table 2. Diagram 1 is a graphical representation of the system motherboard connections. Diagram 2 is a graphical representation of the motherboard’s Input / Output (I/O) connections. Diagram 3 is a graphical representation of the power supply connections. Diagram 4 is a graphical representation of the system case
