Right, I've finally got all of my parts for my computer sitting in my room just waiting to be built. Now I've never built a PC before, and I've done all the safety precautions (I even purchased an anti-static wristband for extra safety). I've spent a hell of a lot of money on this new system, and I can't afford to screw it up by doing a poor job on the assemble of it.
Here's the specs of it just to show you that I can't afford to screw up the build:
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ Socket 939 512KB
Motherboard: Gigabyte K8NXP-SLI
RAM: OCZ 2Gb (2 x 1Gb) Dual Channel Platinum Series DDR400
Hard Disk Drive Maxtor Diamondmax 250Gb SATA 7200rpm 16Mb Cache
Graphics Card: XFX nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 256Mb (Corse Clock Speed: 450MHz/Memory: 1250MHz)
PSU: Enermax 600W Noisetaker
DVD RW: NEC ND-3540A Black Dual Layer 16x DVD+/-RW
Floppy Disk Drive: Sony 3.5" FDD
Control Display: Black Coolermaster Aerogate 2 Fan Controller
Case: Extreme Gaming Spider Case
Screen: Viewsonic VX924 19" TFT LCD 4ms Response Time
Mouse: Logitech MX518
Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse
Speakers: Creative Inspire 5.1 P5800 Speakers
Operating System: Windows Professional
Now that all cost me around £1500 ($2650) to purchase, and as you can see, I can;t afford to mess up the build. So my question is; has anyone got/know of a well written guide on how to build a computer from scratch (preferably in simple English )?
But any information will be a great help!
Thanks very much!
