Tools for PC Building/ Maintenance

[Jorrie]

What supplies would you guys recommend I buy for maintaining my PC. Assume I have absolutly nothing. I do have stuff I just want a set of tools and such for this purpose only. Things like screw drivers, bits, anti static mats, magnetic trays etc. Links would be appreciated but aren't necessary Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the Forum!

1. Screwdriver (I suggest magnetic one)
2. Anti-static straps (optional)

That's all, all you need is a screwdriver, anti-static straps is optional just to be safer if you aren't sure (still not that confident). Avoid static (it kills your PC parts) so ground yourself.

You should have:

 - Several screw drivers in different sizes, something like this (this specific example is for cell phones, but you get the idea, just have lots of different size screwdrivers)

 - Anti static mat and/or writstband

 - Static-resistant workspace, don't use a carpet, use wood or concrete, also don't use socks go barefoot or have shoes too

 - A bucket of spare parts to test if things are broken (this might be hard to get, it's more a thing you amass over time. However, if you know someone who has been doing computery stuff for awhile, you could ask them if they have any old spare unused parts)

I'm kind of new to it as well, just my 2 cent worth.

 

1. Screw driver,

2. Magnetic Trays (Not really needed),

3. Compress air can.

Thanks guys! The reason I'm asking is because I tried to disassemble The cooling unit on my GTX 780 DirectCUII GPU but didnt have the necessary screwdriver size to do it. So I figure I may as well buy all the stuff I'll need now instead of later. But mainly I need a screwdriver kit with the appropriate size bits
