i came

more of this emo slut, preferrably a video. then i will help

The Apple store.

fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap! fap!

Have you installed any hardware before?

OP's a faggot get off our /g/

i can help

>>5216760
no.

i am basically completely new to the concept.

although i have taken my dell laptop apart and looked at it and went "oooooooooooo"

Also "aaaaaaaaaaaaa"

building a computer involves the following:


being super careful with the MB, as you can totally ruin it with static discharge

read the fucking manual (for the MB) so that you plug in all the right shit into the pins (USB, card readers, etc)


when you put the CPU on, make sure you do not apply TOO much grease
everything else is plug and play, plug in (at max) 3 wires (some optical drives have a 3rd wire/cable).

>>5216808

You're trolling, right?

I have to grease my CPU?

The only thing I grease around here is my face.

Also my french fries.

>>5216815

First, it's not really grease, however it's a lot easier to say greasing the CPU.

Second, if you don't know that much, you're going to have to do a lot more research and reading before you attempt this or you're going to fuck shit up and lose a lot of money.

>>5216815
Well, you're either trolling or you should give up on this pipe dream of building your own PC. You're not up to it.

Also, and perhaps most importantly,

what "amounts" or "sizes" should I be getting various components in?- so I can play all videogames for a few years...

Is 4 GB of RAM enough?
How about for my Power Supply? Is 800watt necessary?
And do I have to ensure graphics card/motherboard manufacturer are the same?

>>5216853
Why? Its one component im not familiar with.

This isnt any kind of elusive or challenging science.

I just need the basics, and I can figure the rest out, as I go.

I was hoping you gentlemen might be able to help me, since Im almost useless, here.

TLDR

WHERE DO I GO TO LEARN UNBIASED INFORMATION ON COMPUTER HARDWARE AND INSTALL?????

Nice pic, OP. In exchange this:
<---------------

>>5216882

Actually, I am also unfamiliar with greasing the cpu. We're talking about thermal compound right? That's probably the only thing I don't know how to do. I should just look up a youtube video.

>>5216752

Is that Kate?

>>5216939
Another more simplified version.

>>5216947

Someone posted my guide!!! :DDDD

I need to update it.

>>5216882
Well, if the one component you're not familiar with is your CPU, you have some reading up to do.

"Grease" is thermal compound. Using the stock heatsink is usually not recommended. You want to buy an aftermarket cooler -- preferably one that is compatible with your processor -- and thermal compound (or grease). After you install the CPU, you apply a small amount of thermal compound and carefully and evenly spread it on the chip. You then install the heatsink.

>>5216947
things would be a whole lot better without the gay ass background pics.

>>5216962

I don't like your guide, unless it's a troll, then it's pretty good.

>>5216947

lol nvidia only.

Enjoy your brand loyalty faggotry.

>>5217016

50% trollan
50% marketing

100% lol

>>5216999

What? That's the best part! gtfo.

>>5217036

If you're marketing Nvidia, wouldn't it make sense to make the processors AMD?

>>5216947
>>5216939

I will say thank you, for now.

Although I am skeptical.

I will study it and then masturbate to it.

>>5217054

Don't worry OP. You just need to pick a processor and go to newegg. They'll automatically give you a list of all the stuff that is compatible with it. They only thing you will need to pick out is the case.
