How to assemble the computer from the components?

Any technique becomes obsolete with time and it has to look for a replacement. Personal computers are no exception. All would be nothing, but the price increase is very hard to afford. The finished powerful stationary computer will cost somewhere in 1500 dollars. Cost looks cosmic and discourages all desire to look for a new gadget, but from this situation there is an option - to assemble the device yourself. How to assemble the computer itself from the components, and how to choose them correctly - you will learn in this article.

Remember about imposing the services

Selecting parts separately will not only meet all the needs, but also significantly reduce the total cost for a complete system unit. Plus, if you assemble the computer yourself from the components, all the characteristics will exactly match your expectations.

Important! Sales consultants specifically intimidate inexperienced users by the fact that self-assembly makes replacement under warranty impossible. There is not a drop of truth in this, as every detail will have a warranty card, and if it suddenly fails, you can always replace it or take it for repair under warranty.

Let's take a closer look at all the information about the components and the main nuances of their choice.

CPU, motherboard and RAM

How to assemble the computer yourself? First you need to do the stuffing for your sistemnik. Let's proceed to the choice of the processor, which is the "heart" of the computer.

Power

First you need to determine the purpose of using a stationary personal computer. If you are used to working in demanding software or playing computer games, then you should pay attention to the powerful processors. The higher the speed of its operation, the faster the device works.

There are two main indicators that you need to know about in order to assemble the computer itself from the components:

• Clock frequency. Do not select components with values ​​below 2 GHz.
• Operative memory. Do not even look at the slats with values ​​below 2 GB.

The best option, when these figures are 2 times the specified minimum.

Important! If you choose a processor, then take the time to get acquainted with its cache memory. The actual models are those with an index not lower than 3 MB.

Motherboard

Let's pass to the motherboard on which the whole device is literally based:

• We recommend to familiarize with such eminent manufacturers as: ASUS, Gigabyte, Foxconn, Msi.
• To make your machine powerful, you need to give preference to ATX boards, because it has the largest number of conclusions that contribute to a future upgrade. Yes, and this motherboard is very easy to install in the system unit.

Important! First of all, you need to make sure that the selected processor is compatible with the motherboard. If the devices are incompatible, you will have huge problems during the installation.

RAM

Well, RAM( RAM).Now the most current models work on the principle of DDR3 or DDR4.These are the options we will consider. But to choose the type of RAM - this is not the most important thing. The most important parameter is the amount of memory. It is advisable to equip your computer with two 8GB slats, then you will have more opportunities to assemble the most powerful computer from the components.

video card Hi gamers! It is from this component that the quality of everything that you can observe on your monitor directly depends. The importance of choosing this part is not inferior to the previous ones, especially if you plan to assemble the computer yourself from the components, and want it to fully meet your requirements.

The criteria here are similar to RAM:

• A greater amount of volume characterizes the quality of models.
• If you talk about the manufacturers, then you need to put an eye on Nvidia and AMD, who have long felt comfortable in the technology market.

Important! If you buy vidyuhu from one of the above-mentioned manufacturing companies, then the chances of stumbling upon a "burned" technique are reduced to zero.

How to build a gaming computer? We have already talked about the most important details for the players, now we need to find the right food for them.

A little bit about the power supply

If you are aiming at assembling a powerful PC, then the power supply should be at least 700 watts. If you give preference to models with lower power, then very much risk burning this device in less than a month. You can insure yourself and purchase a UPS( uninterruptible power supply).The perpetual car rescues from sudden outages and inclusions of electricity.

Important! The total output power of the PSU should be more than the power consumed somewhere by 40-50%.

Data warehouse

Well, our computer almost drew, it remains to select a few more details and everything will be ready. Now we are talking about the hard drive( hard disk):

• The most optimal option is to install two parts at once.
• It is desirable to give preference to those models, whose rotation speed is from 7200 rpm, and the capacity of such a device should be not less than 1 Tb.

Important! If you have a good budget, it is better to purchase SSD instead of HDD.SSD is several times faster, but they cost several times more than the hard drives with the previous technology.

Drive

Well, everything here is in taste and color. Some users do not bother buying, because today no one buys discs. But if you own a collection of games, movies and software, then familiarize yourself with such manufacturers as: Sony and Pioneer.

Important! It is better not to take old models as a CD-ROM.Most likely, you will not have the opportunity even to stumble upon such devices in the modern technology market.

We collect the computer device with our own hands

How to start assembling the computer? If you brought all the purchases home, then you can proceed with the installation.

Important! Each part is protected against incorrect assembly. If the component does not want to be installed, then try to simply install it differently.

Let's proceed to the step-by-step instruction on assembling a stationary personal computer:

• It is necessary to open the system unit. Remove the side cover with a screwdriver and install the PSU( power supply) to its rightful place. Mounting holes will tell you how to install it.
• Now it's time to take care of the cooling system. The minimum number of coolers in the system should not be less than two. One of the fans provides airflow and is located in the front of the system unit. The second "pumped out" hot air, and is located in the back of the system. For fastening, self-tapping screws or special rubber clips are usually used.
• With special care install on the motherboard all the purchased components. CPU( CPU) must be fixed in such a way that the motherboard connector matches the CPU contacts. The fan is mounted above the processor with the help of fasteners that come with it in the kit.

Important! Do not forget to apply a small layer of thermal grease to the surface area of ​​the CPU, in order to avoid the effects of large temperatures in the future.

• Connect the cooler to the motherboard using the CPU FAN connector.
• Install in the "box" rack for the motherboard. Do not forget about the stub, which prevents dust and other debris from getting inside.
• Insert the memory slots. To install, you need to pull off the latches and lightly push the RAM up to a characteristic click.
• Again, take on the main board, we put it on the finished place in the case of the future device. Carefully check that all connectors on the back of the PC are in place. We fix the main board with screws.
• We are looking for a drive bay. It is necessary to remove the plug and insert the optical drive from the outside, fixing it with screws.
• The turn came to the hard drive. Usually under it is allocated a place at the very bottom. It is best to install from the inside. Do not forget about the connection of the supply and signal cables. We tighten the screws for fixation.
• Open the stub in the place where the video card will be installed. Usually it is fixed on the back of the unit. We insert the card into the card slot and screw it.
• Now you need to take up the wiring. Connect all the components to the power supply and snap it, if any.
• Now you need to connect the "mother" and the panel body. It is necessary that all indicators of the system are connected to the corresponding connectors.
• Connect the remaining connectors: USB and audio.
• Well, at the end of the procedure, you need to put things in order inside the iron box, because there must be a chaotic web of wires.

Put the lid in place. We hook to the computer all accessories and check the newly made device for efficiency.

As you can see, not everything is so complicated and it is quite realistic to assemble the computer itself from the components. Moreover, if you have an idea of ​​what you are dealing with, how it looks and in the course of the principle of the system.
