Step 1 : be able to afford it
don't forget the I/O shield!
The last step is always reopening the case and attaching that one forgotten cable.
You forgot the most important step, forgetting to turn on the power at the back of the PSU then slightly freaking out thinking you broke something mid build 😂
I basically fallowed theses exact instructions when building my PC last month. Turned out great, had little problems, and booted the vary first try.
In 2004, I saw a competition on campus where students assembled a fully functional PC in less than 15 minutes. A skill that was highly valued by companies selling PCs back in the day.
I"ve been building over 20 years, no short can give you what you need. Never mentioned connecting front panel which is usually a serious challenge for first timers.
1.motherboard on box 2.cpu with contact frame 3.cpu cooler contacts 4.m.2 drives 5.ram 6.put io shield in case 7.put motherboard in case then plug all cables for psu cables and fans/hubs/controllers and random accessories and case cables 8.cpu cooler 9.gpu 10.turn on the psu and hope nothings wrong
Otherwise same, but I would put PSU in the case before motherboard and do most of cable routing before putting in motherboard. I would also add any HDD's or 2.5 SSD's or extra case fans at that point. Only reason for this is that in some cases I have worked on, the cable route for cpu power can become really hard to access after motherboard is in place.
Hooking cables to the PSU first is crazy work.
This man successfully forgot the IO shield
You know this is a good idea since i wanna build PCs as a hobby
GPU always goes last. When disassembling, GPU is removed first
Never built a Pc but when imagining in my head this is exactly how it's gone, I feel it just makes the most sense!
I always like to finish off the build with the ram. Last thing always. The satisfying clicks feel like a nice little reward for all the stress 😂
@ZachsTechTurf 1. Motherboard + cpu + ram + ssd (put them in a case) 2. Install AIO, connect to motherboard + all fans. 3. GPU installation. 4. Power supply should be the last step + making all cables aligned. 5. Run pc, check if everything is working. 6. Close the case. This is the best method
I miss the time when you had HDD and Sata SSD, and one of steps, most likely after installing mother board, was placing hard drives
I feel this is the only way that makes sense to have you not mess something up. It is always best to put as much stuff on your motherboard as possible because it gets real cramped in there.
100% should do a take on that morning routine meme, but every step is followed by cable management.
