How to build a PC - Episode 2

-Assemble the components -




Unbox all the PC components.

Place the motherboard on the motherboard’s package box for base support and safety.

Unclip the processor's protection plate.

Insert the processor safely into the socket. It is very important to handle it safely because even if you have a pin bend in the processor, all the money that we invested in it is wasted. Then lock the safety clip.

Then insert RAM into the motherboard. In a PC, the motherboard has four RAM slots, which have two red or white colour slots and two black colour slots. If we are going to install two RAMs, we should insert one ram in the red or white slot and another ram in the black slot. If we insert it in the same colour slot, it will detect it as a single RAM instead of dual RAM, which affects the performance.

Then insert an SSD (Solid-state drive) into the SSD slot. If you have a smaller budget, you can go with an HHD (Hard disc drive).


Next, place the motherboard on the cabinet, screw it tightly, and connect the SMPS (switched-mode power supply) to the motherboard and place it in the cabinet. SMPS socket.

After this, insert the graphics card and tighten the mount plate properly. Because of the heavy weight of the graphics card, its power pin would bend.

Finally, apply the thermal paste, place cooler fans on the paste, and screw the fans into the motherboard.

Now, it’s time for cable management.

After finishing the cable work, press the power switch.

Install the operating system (OS). My preference is Microsoft’s Windows 11.

Then enjoy the company of your PC.
