Latest PC Building Article? Read!!! Important...

[SuPaFLyZ4LiFe]

Hey supz...I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could find an updated/latest/recent How To Build A PC article, **with pictures**, hopefully in adobe acrobat form. I'm not gonna learn directly from the article but I want to get an idea of how it is and I know it's pretty easy if you get the hang of it. Anyways, the latest one that I have is the AMD.com how to.
Thx a lot

I'm pretty sure that the AMD.com one should be just fine. I think I used the same one last year. I was building a socket based system but the howto was a slotA system howto. OH well, same thing really. If you understand computers half decent and you have an idea of what goes where and in what order, then you should be fine. You always got general hardware forum 🙂

This is the order that I fallow;

motherboard jumpers
processor ATTACH THE HEATSINK!!!!
ram
video card
(notice I haven't put anything in the case yet)
hook up the power supply and fire it up, if it posts, then continue putting it in the case.
Put that crap in the case now
screw some sh!t in
hook up the drives
screw everything up
install OS of your choice.

I don't actually fallow that exactly, but it's a rough outline.. seeing as how I'm not in the situation right now, I probably missed a few things.
