I have no first hand experience but I'm really interested in this PC building stuff. I just took apart my brother's old build and it's fairly easy. Somebody had to update this sections dead sticky!

Also !, To make everything safe, you will need a good Computer Power Supply, so you can handle enough electricity ...(some motherboards needs more power...)

[[MPGH]Flengo]

The logical increments guide serves as a good indication of how much power different builds would need.

@Doc

Since you know your PC stuff I decided to ask you.

How hard is it to build a PC? Im thinking of building one next year and I have no experience what so ever. I dont even know anything about electrical related stuff. Is it possible to just follow the videos step by step to actually do it? That was my initial plan.

It's like lego. If you watch a couple of videos on how to assemble one, then do some research on what parts to get and things not to do then it becomes a very simple thing to do. It's also pretty fun

Yea it does seem like fun! Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Do you think a $500 budget would be able to get me a PC good enough for some of the high end games? BF, COD, ETC... It doesnt have to be able t run in the highest settings.

Should be enough.

I'm in no position to say, but watch those videos I posted here. It's very simple.
building a PC is just as easy as understanding what each hardware does. VERY VERY Simple, nothing as complicated as working on cars, I can tell you that.

I had no idea about anything of hardware one day, only that RAM is memory and that's it, I spent 2 hours reading and watching videos and by the end of that night I new enough to get me started.




Here are the builds I had recommended to me: (find your own case, should be around $50 for a good one)

This were my proposed budget builds. Can get up to 50fps on high resolution on Crysis and max out lol, dota, cod bo2, etc.
find your own budget case.
