Computer Build Help

[Firefox264]

Hi,

Can anyone please provide step by step details on what i should do to build my first computer. I have a good knowledge in hardware and have fixed Computers before but I'm curious to know if there is anything, i really should know since it's my first Computer build. Thanks a lot.

Here ya go. Most important thing is to read the manuals. I recommend building outside the box with a minimal install first and proceeding from there. Take it a step at a time. Try to make sure your components play nice with each other before you assemble them.

Start with the MB. The rest will flow from that depending on your intended use. The manufacturers site for the MB will have a list of supported CPU's and memory.
