Build own PC

max468 · March 6, 2015

Hey guys,

At first, I feel really stupid asking this..

When you build your own pc, do you get the cables with the parts you buy? Or do you have to buy that seperated.

And, how about the drivers? Do the parts already have some kind of drivers on it, or do you need to get a CD for each part.

I know you can download drivers from internet, but when you dont have a driver on your ethernet and wifi you cant really download them right?

And when buying parts, what do you have to check?

like: How much watt does your graphic card take? And which cooler you need that fits your other parts?

I hope you guys can help me,

Max

Hey man

All the "Cables" come with the power supply. The SATA Cables come with the mother board.

All the parts that need a driver will come with a CD with drivers on it. But it should still work, so you should get drivers from the internets.

As for checking parts, only parts I would be concerned about is if the mother board is the right socket for the CPU Your getting.

Also, checking if your motherboard is the right form factor for your case, other than that you don't have to choose a specific Graphics card or Hard drive to get

For wattage, you can make a basic system (1 Graphics card, CPU, HDD, etc) and only use up 500W
