Build your own computers.

planning to build a desktop computer? here's a video on how to put things together. What you needed is a motherboard, processor, memory, power supply, cpu casing, case fan, a hard drive, cd or dvd drive, a video card, if your mother board does not have a built in video card, screw, screw driver, and thermal paste.

Step1

Download CPU-Z from www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php and copy the zip file's contents into a folder. CPU-Z requires no installation, which means you can simply delete the folder when you are finished with it! The first CPU tab shows general information about your system processor



Step2

Switch to the Mainboard tab and you can see details about your motherboard, BIOS, and graphic interface. Take particular note of your motherboard's manufacturer- this will come in handy if your board becomes faulty and you need to call customer support.


Step3

Click on the Memory tab- you'll see your system's RAM type shown in the first box. If you want to add to your PC's memory, then you should buy the same type in order to ensure compatibility. For a computer running Windows Vista, you should ideally have at least 1024 MB of ram



Step4

Select the About tab. This tab contains three tools, including the Registers Dump utility - click on the Registers Dump button and save a text file. Open this file up, and you'll find a plethora of different PC specifications, which will be helpful to more advanced users


All these information would help you when it’s time to upgrade your computer or when you plan to optimize your configurations
