Alright....so people have been asking me non stop since the beginning of my channel "How do I build a computer?"

Here is the series finally! 8)

Parts You Will Need:

1. Case
2. Motherboard
3. CPU (Central Processing Unit)
4. CPU Cooler (if you buy an OEM version of the CPU, or if you want better performance)
5. RAM
6. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit AKA Video Card, unless your motherboard already comes with video built in, then this is optional)
7. PSU (Power Supply)
8. CD Optical Drive
9. Hard Drive
10. OS Disk (Operating System...EX: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7)
11. Monitor (The Screen)
12. Keyboard/Mouse

(Thats pretty much it. From here you add stuff if you want)


You cant just go out and buy whatever though. You must make sure your parts are all compatible with each other.

Make sure:
1. Motherboard fits in your case
2. CPU Fits in motherboard (Socket Type...EX: My CPU is an Intel Core i7 930, LGA 1366 Socket)
3. Custom Water Cooler Fits on Motherboard, not in the way of the RAM
4. RAM is compatible with motherboard and CPU (if you want more than 4GB of RAM, you need 64 bit Operating System)
5. There is a slot for your GPU, and that your GPU will fit in your case
6. Your PSU supplies enough power
7. Make sure the Monitor has the right connections for the GPU.

**Just make sure everything is compatible with each other...do a little research online if you have any questions on component compatibility. Google is

your best friend. 8)

Alright, so this video is simply an intro...nothing fancy...the next video is when things start getting installed. 8)

  • Im gonna buy a wire less networkcard but i dont know what to look for.. Pls help ( for gaming)

  • THX FoR pcityourself

  • @AJWallisProductions Oh.. Thanks :)

  • @SileXsnipe it would, it would all be spaced out. For example. I had a tiny motherboard i could fit it all on. the main things you need to check are: A: Does your motherboard fit in your case? B: Is it your CPU Socket compatible for your motherboard so like you have LGA1155 CPU Socket and your motherboard can fit LGA155 CPU's!!!! Make sure you check them!!!!!!!!!1

  • how much was all of this?

  • How much was all this? I'm thinking of making a computer myself.

  • @64Jvo I'll look around  :) thanks

  • @SileXsnipe Trust me, the only thing that might not fit, is the motherboard into the case.

  • @64Jvo Hmmm, My friend just told me t that not eveything fits together? D:

  • @SileXsnipe The video card, cpu, and ram should fit with any motherboard.
