The article is divided into four parts, the first talks about the parts that you need and some things that you should take care of. What I really like is that he gives tips without hardware recommendation. The advice is general and users who have never build a PC in their life will love his advice will professionals will probably only skimp over it and come to the conclusion that they hardly learned anything new from the article.

The other three parts are Assembly, Testing, Loading the Operating System and as a bonus optional tweaks. The assembly part is without doubt the most important part if you want to build a PC. Believe it or not I did not put any thermal paste on the CPU of my first PC that I build myself. I was lucky that it ran without problems until a friend reminded me that I had to apply it immediately.

You will find those tips there, tips that you learn the hard way sometimes but are guaranteed to never miss again. I will write an article with images detailing the process of building the PC from the parts that I will buy. The only thing that I do not like that much is that you actually have to click on the different parts to read the whole article. That’s not very user friendly.

I read every pc magazine that I could get my hands on, compared tests and top lists and finally came up with a part list that would beat every other retail computer for the price I bought them. The problems began when the parts arrived and I had to actually build the pc. It was difficulty at first, because even though I read a lot about hardware I never added hardware to my pc nor built a pc before.

A friend helped me a lot building it and with his help the pc was up and running in no time. Today I´am building my computers alone, because of many reasons, for instance being able to select the parts that I want or building something that is expensive and working after its finished. There are more reasons but this would go to far.

It would have helped me tremendously if there was an internet page like mechBgon´s when i tried to build my first pc. His thirteen-pages guide to building an pc covers everything you need to know to build it on your own.

There are lots of hints and screenshots to make it as foolproof as possible for everyone, its absolutely recommended for everyone who wants to build a computer for the first time.
