Left & Right
Building a PC can be an
exciting and rewarding process. To begin, gather all the necessary components, including the
processor (CPU), motherboard, memory (RAM), storage (SSD/HDD), graphics card (GPU), power
supply (PSU), case, cooling solution, and the operating system (OS). Ensure that you have a
clean, well-lit workspace with all the necessary tools, such as screwdrivers, at your
disposal.
Start by installing the CPU onto the motherboard. Open the CPU socket, align the CPU with
the socket, and gently lower it into place. Secure the CPU in position. Next, install the
RAM by opening the RAM slots on the motherboard, aligning the notches on the RAM with those
on the slot, and pressing down until the clips snap into place.
Proceed to install the storage devices, such as SSDs or HDDs, by mounting them in the
appropriate drive bays or M.2 slots on the motherboard. Connect SATA and power cables to the
storage devices. Install the graphics card by locating the PCIe slot on the motherboard,
inserting the GPU, and securing it in place. Connect power cables from the PSU to the GPU.
Install the power supply unit into the case and connect power cables to the motherboard,
CPU, GPU, and storage. Connect front panel cables, including the power switch, LEDs, USB,
and audio, to the motherboard. Organize and secure cables for efficient cable management.
Install the cooling solution by attaching the CPU cooler according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Once everything is in place, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Power
on the PC to check if it boots properly. If successful, proceed to install the operating
system by inserting the OS installation media and following the on-screen instructions.
