Build Your Own Computer
Learn how to build your own computer.
The most common question I often get when I tell people to just build their own computer is why? That's a question and a half.
The first reason is simple. When you buy a computer that is built by someone else, it is built to a specification. What does that mean to you. Costs had to be followed which usually means if you're buying a really nice computer, you are really going to pay for it. If you find a really good deal, something on the inside probably isn't the best quality.
The second reason is, save money. Not only will you be able to pick out exactly which parts you want to use. You will also be able to spend the money on the parts that matter the most to you. An example would be video gamers. Save your money on storage and software, get a bigger video card.
I break building a computer into four steps.
Step 1 - Pick out all the parts you want. This is probably going to be the biggest task you will face. Matching the components so they all fit is fairly straight forward, finding the most bang for your buck and getting reliable parts can sometimes take a little work. I usually find something I like by brand name. Then I'll go through and check benchmarks for the part. If that looks good as well, I will take my last step to picking parts by checking out the reviews. What other people say is more often than not the best indication if you have a good part.
Step 2 - Put all your parts together. Assembly to some people sounds like it's the most daunting task. It is usually MUCH easier than people think. Usually only requiring 2 tools.
Step 3 - When you start up a computer for the first time you have to tell the a chip on the motherboard called the CMOS how it can relate to different parts. The best part about this is over the years, the motherboards have made this job very easy. Usually loading defaults is all it takes.
Step 4 - Install Windows. Grab a Windows install disk, follow the prompts and before you know it your home computer has come to life ready and waiting for you at the desktop.
Now if you're reading this and thinking WOW, he makes that sound way easier than it is. It is that easy. I have shown many people how they can build and service their own computer. With a bit of reading and a bit of patience you can build yourself a computer you will really love.
