How to Build your Own Computer A computer is a piece of equipment people use to do many things. People use computer for personal usage and for normal operations when running a business. Computers can range from a reasonable price to being an expensive piece of equipment. Building your very own computer should be based on a budget in which you will be able to afford and do the job you want it to do.
Safety and Tools
When trying to build your own computer you must always consider safety. Safety can be for you as the person using and manipulating the computer parts and the workspace you are placing the computer. You as the person building the computer must always consider electrical safety of yourself. Ensuring you not wearing jewelry

The IO shield supports the motherboard and the motherboard standoffs screws creates a gap for the shield and motherboard to not touch each other. You place the IO shield into the system case by pressing down on the case until it snap in place. To install the motherboard standoffs screws, you will hold the motherboard above the case and look down at the holes to match up the holes. (3.3.3) Once you have match the holes with the motherboard, install the motherboard standoffs screws hand tightened. (add picture) We can now install the motherboard. Place the LGA 1366 Motherboard with the IO connectors first to snap the motherboard on to the IO shield and secure the motherboard using the motherboard screw into the motherboard standoffs screws with fine thread screws.
Installing the CPU The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is considering to be the brain of the computer. (3.5.1) When installing the CPU into the motherboard you will have to consider the risk of electrostatic discharge. To avoid electrostatic discharge, you must use a static mat and need to be clip to the static mat. We have review the documentation for the LGA 1366 Motherboard and found the compatible CPU to use will be the i7 960 CPU. (add picture) When installing the i7 960 CPU, you need to verify you have the Heat sink fan installed before placing inside the motherboard. You
Computers are one of the main types of equipment found in offices. They enable you to carry out a multitude of tasks, including email, accounting, word processing and database creation/administration.
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 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.
Motherboard is centralized computer of the PC that all framework inside the electronic in light of the fact that a few sections are not quite the same as each other like RAM, CPU and framework unit
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.
Imagine having everything you’ve wanted and need on a computer you practically built yourself. Building exactly the PC you want using the Intel i3 5010u Barebone PC as a base is one of the most fulfilling things you can do. It will satisfy your computer needs as well as save you money from buying computers that have features you won’t even need.
Building a pc can be more reliable in many ways too. researching each specific part that is going to be in the build by looking at reviews for each one and the specs for each part. Reviews for each part of the computer that are bought prebuilt are not going to be displayed; The reviews for the whole computer are going to be displayed. Another reason building a computer is more reliable than buying one is getting the right price for each component that is going to be used. Companies will charge full price for every part and the price them
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.
You have now completed the first part of your computer. You will now want to look at the front of the case and take off one or two of the slot panels, depending on if you are installing a CD-ROM or not. This is where you are going to place you’re a drive and your CD-ROM if you chose to install one. You’ll want to go ahead and place in the floppy drive and the CD-ROM now and screw them in tightly. Be sure that they do not protrude out of the front of the case. Now you will want to place your hard drive in under the floppy drive and secure it. You have now completed the second part of your computer.
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
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
What is a computer? There are thousands of different types of computers that are built for an extremely vast range of purposes, but overall, what do you class as a computer? Anything with a CPU?
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.
It is responsible for reading the instructions and data from the main memory in order to perform calculations and coordinate the other components. It interprets instructions and processes data contained in computer programs. The actual CPU is about 1.5 inches square. Today, some of the more widely used CPU’s are made by Intel and known as Pentium 1 through Pentium 4.
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.
