For many people, it's to build a gaming computer that is capable of running computer games faster with better graphics. For others, they may want to save money or use it as a learning opportunity. Whatever your reason is to build a computer, there are some general steps to building one. STEPS FOR BUILDING A COMPUTER FROM SCRATCH: WHAT YOU NEED Note: When looking for parts, try buying new/used things from garage/ yard sales, college season sales, or on- line auction sites. You can usually get parts a lot cheaper this way. First, you have to decide what type of PC you want to build (home office, gaming, etc.). You have to set up a budget that you feel is comfortable to build a comput- er. Decide what case you are wanting to get. All great things start from the ground up...or the computer case in this case. (Be sure when you look for a case, to know the size of the computer you are building. Also take into considera- tion the number of bays, or the slots on the front of your computer you would like to have for optical drives, USB, audio, etc.) Find a motherboard. This is argu- ably the most important part of your computer, because without it nothing will work. When looking for a moth- erboard, keep track of how many ex- pansion slots you will need for R AM (random-access memory) and graph- ics cards, along with the size of the CPU (central processing unit), and the size of the motherboard itself to make sure it will fit in the case. Find out what type of CPU you will need one that will fit your budget and the motherboard. Some brands for CPU are AMD and Intel. The CPU is responsible for executing a sequence of stored instructions. Next you will need to find a graph- ics card that will fit what you are build- ing. These can range in price from as cheap as about $14.99 for a very, very basic low-profile card. But they can al- so be as expensive as $50,000.99 on- line for a graphics cards, Yikes! (Here is where finding them at yard/garage sales, college season sales, or auction sites will save you a lot of money. Then you will need some R AM. R AM stores computer data tempo- rarily but the benefit is that it can be retrieved quicker. R AM can come in sticks of 1 gigabytes to 8 or more gi- gabytes. Lastly, get a few other things such as fans to disperse heat, screws, wash- ers, cables, zip ties, and other items that you might need to wire everything up and space out everything. ASSEMBLING THE COMPUTER When assembling your computer there are a few tips that can make it a lot easier. Before we start putting oth- er parts together, we're going to in- stall the power supply, and then set the case over to the side. The power sup- ply is typically located on the rear of the case which you can usually identi- fy by a square opening. This opening will have screw holes on at least two corners. When you put it in make sure the switch and plug is facing out the back of the computer, and screw it in. Next, we're going to prepare the motherboard by installing the CPU, cooler, and R AM before putting it in the case. It's a lot easier to install them now, rather than after you install the motherboard in the tower. When in- stalling the CPU be careful to not bend the pins; if one of the pins gets bent, you could make that component un- usable. A fter you install the CPU, you will want to install your cooler wheth- er it is a heatsink and fan, or a thermal cooling system. A fter you screw that on to your motherboard, it will need power. Plug the wires from the fan in- to a four-pin connection on the moth- erboard, which should be close to the processor and labeled "CPU_FAN." Next you will want to install R AM in your expansion slots. Directions are easy enough. Each memory stick has a notch in the gold contacts along the bottom edge that lines up with a block in the memory slots on the mother- board. If you hold it just above the slot and the two line up, it's facing the right direction. If so, just push them down and snap in the locks on the side. Now comes the big stretch of install- ing the motherboard to the case. At- taching the two will require anywhere between six and ten screws depend- ing on the case and motherboard. When tightening the motherboard to the case, remember to not tighten too tightly or you can break the board and may have to start back at square one. Once you screw in your board it's time to start wiring it up. If you need help wiring it up, there are step by step guides on how to do it online. Now it is time to install the graphics card onto the case and motherboard. When you install this, you will need to remove the backplate on the bot- tom of the backside of the case. You'll need to remove one or two of these metal strips, depending on the width of your card. Do this by removing the screw that secures the backplate you want to take out. Once removed, the plate should slide out freely. Keep the screw, as you will need them in a mo- ment. Next you will want to install the graphics card in the PCI slot. You want to line the contacts up carefully with the slot then a good push on the top of the card should snap it into place, but be careful not to push too hard. Now that you have those installed do a check to make sure everything is in- stalled and wired up correctly. A fter you've double-checked everything, turn on the power supply, and press the power button on the front. Some computer systems may not boot cor- rectly the first time, so don't get dis- couraged if you need to go back and check connections again. Once it has booted you will need to install an op- erating system, and then some driv- ers. A fter you install those, and the computer is fully operational you will be good to go.
