@howtowindowsguide I didn't get what you meant when you paused the video and wrote about the CPU power plug. Can you please explain to me more clearly, thanks!
@howtowindowsguide k, got it. Sorry if i'm a bit dumb with these things but i have two more questions, 1. how many pins is that plug? 2. what is overclocking, what does it do and how do i do it?
@rickyvanhalen I did forget to add to the video to plug in the CPU power. This is a 4 pin connector that is located near the CPU on the motherboard. The PSU comes with it, a black 4 pin. Pause the video at 6:37 to see the plug in between both fans. It is the wire on the top left.
@redruney I find that the 5770 is a very good video card for the price. Usually you can find a rebate, and they generally run under 110$. For the productivity it gives I find this Video Card to be very worth the money. But yes there may be better one's out there.
Reminder...not all motherboards and cpus are fit into the motherboard sockets that way.Also not all motherboards have the same 3pin fan power cable connector in the same place.

@DETERMINOLOGY This is only necessary with an aftermarket fan. The fan that comes with the cpu has thermal 90% of the time pre-applied. But, yes, if the fan does not come with one. Then you should buy a thermal paste to put on it.
I built a computer with the following specs:
ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS with ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics
Western Digital 500 GB hard drive
AMD Phenom II 840
4 GB RAM
Cooler Master 500W power supply
3 fans
Lite-On DVD burner

@jishan22 Cool, how much it cost you?

@jishan22 According to my calculations depending on the speed of the ram and the exact case the parts should not cost more than 5-6 hundred dollars

@rickyvanhalen There is a plug that needs to be plugged into the motherboard, it powers the cpu

@howtowindowsguide does it come with the cpu?
rickyvanhalen 4 days ago
@rickyvanhalen No, it comes with the power supply. It plugs in from the power supply to the motherboard

@nTELHD You can watch the building of the computer, hopefully that will answer your question

why'd you get an AMD 5000 series card when the 6000 series are better and cheaper. Plus they're easier to find.
