I was thinking of putting together a PC, but all this sounds really complicated. Is putting one together as difficult as this thread is making it seem?

  • I've never built one, this'll be my first build. I'm trying to make sure everything is safe and sound, so I'm going into minute detail over everything to make sure I don't waste money. Anyways, people tell me building a PC is like building a Lego set (which I've always loved) and newegg's tutorial actually makes it really easy to understand!

  • I'll have to check it out sometime. Like I said, I have absolutely no experience putting something like this together (even if it is like a Lego set). And all this technical talk confuses me to no end. Does Newegg have an Idiot's guide to it?

    best simple explanation i could find. Be careful though, near the end he brushes over some extremely important bits concerning the mobo (mostly about compatibility).

  • Mobo?

  • Motherboard. Essentially links all the different parts together. Sometimes contains a wireless adapter (enables your computer to connect to wifi)

  • Alright. That simplified a lot of things. But what exactly did he gloss over with the motherboard?

  • CPU chip compatibility, RAM compatibility, etc. It's a few minutes near the end when he mentions a lot of the important stuff (i.e. making sure your i5 chip that has a 1150 slot fits with your mobo that also must have a 1150 slot and intel chipset)
