Nowadays, it is hard to image life without the usefulness of computers. To adapt to the modern life, we always want to equip ourselves with suitable computers. However, many people have had troubles before deciding to buy pre-building computers. They often worry about prices and qualities of those computers. Therefore, I would like to share some experiences about building your own computers. You can both choose better components of computers and save your money. Indeed, the following steps can help you build your own computer effectively.

Firstly, you need to prepare materials and tools. The basis parts of a computer are motherboard, processor, ram, video card, case, power supply, hard drive, optical drive, keyboard, mouse and speaker. It is easy to buy these components in many computer stores, and they are often cheaper when bought separately. In addition, the recommended tools are some screws, spacers, wires and strap.

You should align marked corner of processor and socket. Remember, install ram with firm pressure. Then, install plate with motherboard, you will hear a click when they are in place. Also, spacers will come with the motherboard, you should line up motherboard with plate and spacers. Be careful when installing screws. After that, use screws to secure power supply. There will be an obvious connector on the power supply and small four pin connector for the chip, so attach them to the motherboard. And then, use manual to connect remaining wires. Finally, connect case fans using available wires from power supply. Remember that fan side faces outside and wires face inside.

Thirdly, you need to install hard disk and CD drive. First, connect power supply to the hard disk and connect using supplied cable. You should align red stripe with pin one on the motherboard, because one slide of slot will be marked as pin one. Make sure the drive is aligned properly. Next, install drive with four screws. Then, use any available power connector and connect drive using supplied cable. Also, connect CD drive audio, video card. You can now attach your monitor to the video card or motherboard connector along with keyboard, mouse and any other devices you have.
