I'm looking for both retailers and sites with good "How-To's" and explanations.

Been there. finished that. many instances. now no longer propose it. the huge distinction days of the self-equipped pc have handed. in case you want a effectual pc with rather superb specs, only purchase a clean pre-equipped each year. you will keep oodles of money and hardship. Plus you're continually going to be chained on your table. the destiny is in mobility, and that would not lend itself to self-builds.

Honestly, you should buy a case and start adding parts. When you get in trouble, search the internet and post something on the message boards. You will get in trouble often, and want to pull your hair out, but it will get easyer in time. This is better than any book.

You can visit http://www.webfreebees.net/howtobuildpc.html which gives good tutorial for you. You also search in search engines for the term "how to build my own computer" you can get good sites.

you could buy stuff from tigerdirect.ca/.com or buy.com/ca.buy.com and as for the help with assembly, goto pcnineoneone.com. or you could just read the manual that comes with your hardware!! the motherboard's manual will explain to screw it on to the casing, and the videocards/soundcard/network carad (if you choose to buy them and not use the internet built-in ones) have their hardware installation instructions in their manuals too. as for RAM modules, just stick them in the slot starting with 45 degrees, and then slowly push them in and straighten them. for CPU, place the CPU on the motherboard, pull the small liver thingie which will tighten it, put thermal fluid on the CPU, put the FAN assembly on it, it should snap on. for DVD-drives and hard disks. put their jumpers to master, and grab two IDE cables, put one on master IDE connector and the other Secondary IDE connector on your motherboard and plug the other end to your HDD/DVD drive. put the case back together, plug everything in, and power it up!!! if you get stuck anyone, just post the question on yahoo answers! :)

I would try geeks.com. They sell barebone kits and have e-mail tech tips. They have a lot of on sale items also.
