DIY my PCs ,?

Question

how to do it ??

Answer 1

Hi there, building your own pc is really not that difficult.

1. Decide on what kind of computer you need
1a. Gaming Computer
1b. Home Entertainment
1c. Basic Websurfing/Office Work

2. Based upon that decision, decide on the speed of the processor and type of motherboard
2a. If you chose 1a, go for a higher-end intel core 2 duo, with a motherboard that does not have an integrated graphics chip
2b. If you chose 1b, you can go for cheaper mid-range processors like a P4 or AMD, however your motherboard should preferably not have an integrated graphics chip.
2c. If you chose 1c, you can go for the lower-end celeron processors ~ 1-1.5Ghz, and a cheaper motherboard that has an integrated graphics chip, sound chip and so on.
2d. Integrated components cost less, but perform poorer as compared to motherboards that need you to add-your-own soundcard, graphics card, etc.
2e. Make sure the processor you chose and the motherboard are compatible, they should have the same number of pins for example. The motherboard should also list the compatible processor types on the box.

3. Based on the type of motherboard you chose, ATX or micro-ATX, buy an appropriate casing. Usually, cheaper mainboards tend to be micro-ATX, whilst more expensive, gaming type are the bigger ATX.
3a. Make sure the casing has nice big fans, 3inches or more, avoid casings with 2 inch fans as those are noisy and do not provide adequate ventilation for modern processors. 3 inch or larger fans make for a stress and noise FREE cpu, as they spin slower.

4. Buy all the other accessories, disk drives (SATA, IDE is nowadays not supported), RAM (make sure it fits your motherboard), etc.

5. Put it all together, if unsure, get the help of a tech-savvy friend. Its hard to explain the assembly of a PC here...search the net for tutorials and how-tos.

Answer 2

u saw some answers with long description huh ? that tells u need to have the knowledge in order to do it correctly. the difficult parts to DIY a PC is to make sure the hardwares are compatible. simple thing like RAM, the mainboard will not work if u got a wrong one, even it is installed nicely. spend a little bit more and get a shop to do it for u lah, they even provide warranty. last thing is u are unlikely to get refund or exchange for something else just because of compatibility issue if u have bought any, because the product is being opened.
