Should i build my gaming pc my self?
Posted in Desktops on July 16th, 2008
i was wondering i have the proper funds and a good place to get my computer parts from and they dont charge to assemble your own custom pc but i always wanted the pride in assembling my own personal plus it will give me some experience since im planning to be a computer engineer (case, motherboard etc.) but i was wondering im familiar with all parts of a personal i played around with the inside of personal a lot is when i buy a case and all he parts do they come with the proper screws and things to secure them to the case? so i was wondering is it suggested that i build the computer myself? (Note: the parts include sli motherboard and graphics card and quad core proccessor a lot more complicated and expensive then wat i ever worked with before
Answer:
just speak to the guys you’re buying the parts from. make it clear its your first build. they should be able to sort out any tricky bits for you before you begin.
Its really not that hard building a pc. I’ve no experience with electronics and I put mine together with no problems.
Even if you find you have to go back to the store to get some screws or a cable - its not like the end of the world if that happens. and, as you say, its more rewarding using a machine that you have put together.
Answer:
the hardest part is installing the cpu and heatsink. if you don't do it properly, the chip will crack and break the first time you turn it on. other than that, pretty much everything else is safe to mess around with. the only other tricky thing is the screws on the motherboard to attach it to the case. if you tighten them too much, they’ll crack the motherboard.
that being said, most places will sell cpu/motherboard combos with the cpu/heatsink already installed.
everything else besides the cpu/heatsink/motherboard has safety mechanisms in place to prevent something from breaking if they’re installed improperly.
Answer:
If you think that you know how to deal with these advanced parts go ahead and build your own PC instead of giving it to another person to build it for you. I’ve build my own gaming Computer two weeks ago. It is quad core, sli motherboard, two video cards, 2 X 2 GB DDR2, power supply, gigabyte case, .. etc
Answer:
If u have thorough knowledge and sheer confidence regarding this,then its superior u assemble ur own system….It can bring down the cost to a certain extend…
If anything goes wrong its not that simple to get rid of it without any technical help…
If u r giving more importance to secureness than money,try to assemble it through a dealer who have more experience regading this……
Answer:
It is worth a shot. Just take your time and pay attention to detail. It isn't that hard to do but again take your time. You dont want to rush and break something because it wont go in right. Also dont forget your jumpers for the power button, HD LED, reset button…
Answer:
build it yourself. And do it tribal style! (naked!!) Then people will think you’re really hardcore.
Answer:
As always do your homework and read about all the processes you want to know about. Building personal isn't hard, just doing things you don't know about and financing your mistakes is hard to choke.
I do know for a fact that the AMD processors are a lot more user friendly as far as installing the heatsink than intel, but that is just what I hear, compared to what I know by putting a Phenom into my 790x motherboard. Mine was a breeze and never had any trouble putting a heatsink onto a AMD myself. Many Intel people state they about have to break the motherboard in half to get it to lock on…
