Apart from the main pc components, what do u need to build a pc?

[noodlespinbot]

I have all my pc components i was just wondering what else i need to build my pc.

 

I know about thermal paste, but what else is there?

[HanZie82]

How about you list all the components first.
So we dont post anyhting you already have.
(Also shows some effort which in turn will generate more interst for others to react to)

Ok sorry about that:

You need minium

cpu

Motherboard

gpu

ram

psu

storage

Ost coolers come with thermal paste pre applied or in a little tube

 

 

then you also need a case, fans

and a monitor and perferials

[Pixelfie]

Just a screwdriver should be enough. A long one with magnetic tip should make it easier to build. Most coolers already come with thermal paste. You don't need an anti static wrist wrap if you touch the metal of your case every once in a while.

 

Also what did you pay for the 2600? They are often overpriced.

You can post the link at the top of the pcpp page, it’s like pcpp.com/list/ and then there’s several random characters

 

Do you have these right now?

Thanks, for this nice list. Makes things a a lot easier.

 

That CPU cooler most likely already has thermal compound on there. (Not 100% sure but i've not seen a new one to come without).

You will need a SATA cable for that 2TB

An ethernet cable to connect to the internets.
And keyboard mouse and monitor.

 

But besides that and some software to run it all you might have most things you really need.

Ok thanks. I do have everything . tyvm

Not a bad price.
Here just across the water they sold new for just under 200€.

Thats fine. Right here they are like 200 which is the same as an 11400 which is much faster.

It's a great price, good score.

I use a:

 

Screwdriver

Small flash light on dark cases. Not needed on white ones.

A Corsair 4' X 2' mat

Containers for screws after they are removed from packages.

 

Extra parts you may need:

 

PWM Fan Splitters.

PWM Fan Hub

Motherboard 2-Pin SW Computer Switch Cords(for testing motherboards outside the case that have no off and on buttons )

 

I also use a a height adjustable table for my aching back.

Apart from couple of people too picky or not reading the thread...

 

So you don't need thermal paste. That comes with the stock cooler, or most of the aftermarket coolers.

 

You need stable surface, with non-conducting material, good light and phillips head screwdriver. You need to ground yourself, but that can be done with anything metallic connected to wall socket. Like a desk lamp. Plus time and patience.
