PC Building Guide needed....

[ahmadka]

hi guys... i am planning a new system, which is almost about done....now, i need a good guide, which guides through on how to assemble a PC from scratch....

please be aware, that is this is the first time i am building a system from scratch, and also the first time when i am gonna try to assemble it myself....if I even try ...cuz i am really scared....

so if u have a good guide for a complete newbie at PC building, please let me know....

please note that i have done a little bit of tweaking around, like attaching a HD, and stuff..but nothing serious like attaching a g. card, or a DVD Drive or a CPU or RAM, etc...

Just follow the manuals...

Here's a link for 1st time builders

In reality, its just...
1. Replace the backpanel and mount the motherboard with brass standoffs (if case requires). Then open the slot and put the cpu in, and thermalpaste it and then hsf it. Then add the ram.
2. Mount the power supply
3. Mount the hard drive and floppys.
4. Mount the optical drives
5. Put your video card and PCi accessories in.
6. Plug in the power switch and reset and everything on the mobo.
7. Connect everything to the power supply.
8. If done correctly, it should post
