Does your friend build PC's while he is drunk? Seems strange for him to do that but then again... drunk.

We were doing a build party hahaha he was done with his first so he was already drinking while the rest of us were still working on ours. He just upgraded his computer so he was done faster than the rest of us

The first time I build a computer I was also afraid that my GPU was dead, then after half an hour i figured out that the GPU needed more power than just from the motherboard.. duh

 

also forgetting to flip the switch ON, on the back of the PSU, that has gotten me to the edge on numerous occasions.. :/

(Comming soon)

Also don't forget to push down the level on PCIe slots. You might accidentally rip the whole slot off... (whoops)

 

I've done most of the above. We all have our moments. :P
