PC Knowledge Seeker

Stupid Title, yes I know.

But does anyone know a website that will explain computer parts in depth?

To be honest I've just been building my computer with not alot of knowledge.

Basically happy go lucky with it.

If you gradually go through linus' videos that a great way to go, or tech quickie, great for that sort of learning too. 

I often find wiki articles on tech very useful too.

Not going to be the random idiot around here and say "you're already on a site" but there is a bit of help here on the forums nor-the-less. But for actual learning on how to put together pcs properly is a bit of an experience thing and countless hours of watching videos and reading other forums as well. Linus's techquickie videos are a great start as they give the general gist of what a system should have and not to have. As for more reading material that would be a difficult one because almost any forum can provide a indepth look at such like "TheTek's" site or LTT here. My way was TONS of vids through not only linus's side but almost any tech youtuber I could find.

 

Hopefully this gives you at least an insight, point is, figure out what the system is going to be used for, see how much $ you have to work with, THEN see what parts work for such application.
