What will I require other than necessary components to build a PC?

[Vishvas Sudarshan]

Hello guys!
I'm in the process of ordering parts for my PC.

Other than the essential components like CPU mobo etc...... what else will I need? Like which kind of screw driver? etc....

Thanks!

a 20 dollar ifixit kit is always nice but not required. Also just an FYI because a lot of people dont realise it but not all PCs come with WIFI. unless you are using a direct connection you need a seperate adapter.

For long use PCI-e. I dont know what your budget is but...i would really reccomend this one

USed them in 5 other PC builds and they are fantastic. But the cheaper one will be OK but you might have issues

Zipties, to install windows you will need an optical drive or USB Flash drive, you'll need an anti-static wristband if you're working on carpet (you can also frequently touch a large metal object to ground yourself). A magnetic parts tray would be handy, a NORMALLY SIZED philips screwdriver. Did I mention zipties? Also scissors to cut any zipties you need to remove.

I have a 150Mbps router that my ISP gave me. Only supports 2.4GHz. How about just using an Ethernet cable until I upgrade my router?

well yea, you dont NEED wifi if you can use ethernet. its just that i ran into this issue so many times its ridicoulous where people dont realise they need a wifi card and dont tell me they are using wifi. ethernet is always better than wifi.

Is it recommended to have a DSL cable surge protector?

yes, a surge protector is nice. But i myself dont have one. As long as you dont get many power outages its ok.

We experience around 4 power surges per year. The last one (Most 'powerful' I've ever seen) took out 3 adapters. Set-top-box adapter, router adapter, and TV power adapter(or Brick, whatever its called). But none of the devices were damaged (as far as I know). Blown adapters are extremely rare though. Still be on the safer side?

Will this work with a 220-240V input? vttps://www.amazon.com/Belkin-MasterCube-Wall-Mount-Protector-F9H120-CW/dp/B0000668YX/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477930492&sr=8-2&keywords=belkin+single

I have a stabiliser and 2 fuses between the outlet from the wall and the place where I insert all the plugs. I just need it for the DSL

Also how much current will this system draw? http://in.pcpartpicker.com/list/HHWs8K

In Amps.

uhm its not really measured in amps. It draws 300w of power.

Yes 300W is Power, I mean how much current will it draw?

Can I just do this-       

 

                Amps=Watts/Volts

PCs use different voltages, so its hard to tell how much current goes through each rail by just looking at a spec sheet.

If you are asking if your psu can handle it, then yes.

I'm not worried about my PSU, its my stabiliser. The one I have now can handle a maximum of 3 Amps
