ALSO you little arsewipe, it practically is a new build! the only things i'm using from my pos atm are the HD's and ram.
So HA

i appreiciate the offer, but like i said i wont be near another working computerFreezer7Pro wrote:
Do you want me to help you over cam? I've done it before, and the people (one dude had never built or upgraded a computer before) all succeded to construct working computers.
Oh, ah. My bad, I didn't read it correctly.FatherTed wrote:

Nicely done, +1. I would, however, mount the PSU after the mobo, as that makes for easy installation of the mobo. Might become quite cramped to fit the mobo screw in the "top-left corner", the one closest to the back of the case, with the PSU mounted.Jenspm wrote:
This is how I do it, just for the sake of showing what order you can do it in:
1. mount CPU in mobo socket: only one way is possible, so it's straight forward. Look at the corners, I believe one of them has a "dent" in it - dent corner goes into the mobo corder with an outward dent.
2. Put ram in - only one way fits, straight forward. Open the locks, put ram in until you can close the locks again.
3. If you have a stock cooler, mount it on the CPU as shown in the manual. This will be a bitch. If not, find a guide on applying thermal paste, do that, then attach cooler as shown in manual.
4. Mount PSU in case: intake fan facing the inside of the case (unless you have some fancy intake wholes, which if I remember correctly, you don't). I usually route the cables from the CPU now, before the mobo goes in.
5. Mount mobo in case: match up the wholes, put the seperators in needed wholes, screw mobo in place. Make sure the PCI ports are facing the right way
6. Insert the Graphics card in the PCI-e slot. Make sure it's the x16 and not the x4 slot! Check your manual, I believe it's the one closest to the CPU.
7. plug in all the cables from the PSU, insert harddrives, connect all drives to the mobo, etc.
cables to remember:
- SATA/IDE for DVD drive and HDD
- power for DVD drive and HDD
- CPU power
- big ass mobo power.
- GFX power (cable is labled with "PCI-E")
- fans and shit
6. Plug in PSU, turn PSU on, turn PC on, *fingers crossed*
To be honest, it's better to mount the CPU and cooler before putting the mobo in the case. Very little space once it's in the case.mtb0minime wrote:
There should be a manual that comes with your motherboard on how to put a PC together, so look for that, it's extremely helpful.
Basic steps:
1) Put mobo in case and screw in
2) processor
3) PSU
4) CD-ROM/DVD drives, hard drives
5) GPUs and anything that goes into pci slots
6) attach all wires
I'd give you a link to a neat site I found, but I'm not on my own computer right now
EDIT: Oh and don't forget the fans. You can put those in at the very beginning or very end, doesn't matter. Make sure that air is going in at the front and sides and out at the back.
QFT especially if it's some big ass true or tuniq for instance.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Dont try and build the damn thing while you are stoned or you will mess somthing up.
tbh, I prefer fitting the PSU first, as it can be a bitch to slide in with a CPU cooler in the way (I cut myself around 7 times on my 9700 before I got it in there )Freezer7Pro wrote:
