Understanding the Parts in Your Computer

Building your own computer from individual components can seem daunting at first. This guide was designed to give computer novices a way to learn about all the parts a computer uses. So if you want to learn how to build computers from scratch, you have come to the right place!

Once you understand how computer parts connect to one another, its just a simple process of elimination. You just need to understand each specification of the components and see if each piece is compatible. This guide was created to help you answer those questions. Learning about computers takes a desire to learn about them. Just be patient and persistent and you will be able to build, tweak and customize any computer you build. If this guide will be helping you build your first computer, I would recommend using components that best suit your needs. While this guide may make recommendations, you don't necessarily need the most expensive components for your computer to do what you want it to do (well...except gaming. Those computers always need more expensive components).

What Will The Computer Do?

What plans do you have for the computer? Will you use it to just browse web pages or will you watch movies and play the latest computer games? Prior to building your first computer, these are the questions you should be asking yourself (even before the quintessential "What is my budget?")
