thats cool if you need to know anything just ask i made over 200 computers

I made mine recently...

Basics of basics, you must have, CPU, Motherboard, RAM, GFX card and PSU.
I would go to C2D intel processors, they are much better than AMD right now.
The E4300 is a really nice choice if you overclock your computer.
Check this article, it tests the new Intel CPUs but the E4300 is there.

With only $700, you can make a real machine...

I was looking at some nice cases and stuff and i might shoot for a flat-panel LCD Ferrari monitor.

Cases, are a important piece for your computer, mainly if you like to keep your computer from freezing by adding a good air flow on it... I personaly like best the thermaltake, have one right now, and the sunbeam acrylic cases... these are soooo cool!

i with an alienware case right now its great cos it has to fan slots but i like to use a intel pentum duo 2 as my cpu

[Pacman]

I've just cleaned up mine today... I arranged my cables and made them to pass behind the motherboard to they wouldn't get in the way of the airflow...

[sasuke1882]

oh nice i just put a second fan in but yeah the motherboard i got in mine has somthing wrong with it i keep geting problems so if im gone for a while dont worry i'll be back after i fix my comp lol

Cool tutorial, and good luck with your computer.

I somehow knew all this by looking in my PC case lol.

[cyberdemon]

lol no offence but you don't need a tutorial to build a pc.

Connect the CPU in the CPU socket in the motherboard. You have to know which CPU socket that motherboard supposrts, for example, an Intel Core2Duo has a 775 socket so you must search for a 775 socket motherboard.

There are different rams of different speeds. A normal DDR Ram will be find. There are different ram speeds such as 667mhz, 800mhz and 1600mhz. If you are buying a good motherboard, I suggest a 1600mhz ram with at leat 2gb each.

PSU - 750Watts should be enough to power the graphics card and all of the components.

VGA - This uses a X16 PCI-E interface on the motherboard. You can usually attach only one but good motherboards also support two VGAs.

Soundcard - If you want to hear sounds, you must have a soundcard on the pc. You connect this to another PCI-E slot.

DVD- uses IDE interface.

see, its very simple and I didn't refer to any guids to write this.
