How do you build a PC tower?

[MegaFire1121]

I'm just starting out and most of the cables and other stuff really confused me. I want to learn first before I build one, until I get the money and pay it

Or any ltt build guide for the most part.

Welcome to the rabbit hole, my friend.

 

The hard part is determining your budget, choosing your components, ensuring they're all compatible, making sure you haven't overlooked anything, then ordering them and waiting for them to arrive.

 

The easy part is snapping your new Lego set together and powering it on. Unless you choose to manage your cables. Then it's 30 minutes of snapping stuff together like a boss followed by several obscenity-laden hours of routing cables, disconnecting stuff and reconnecting it countless times because you know you can do it better, etc.

Tons of YouTube videos out there. You can just search em up.

 

Its literally plugging one thing into the other and screwing one thing into the other. 

 

If you ever run into issues you can come to the forum for help.

 

Oh, and things you should make sure to do when building:

-Install motherboard standoffs

-If it's not plugged all the way in it's not plugged in

-If it doesn't fit without TONS of pressure (except Intel CPU sockets, those need pressure) you're most likely doing it wrong

 

Oh, and when picking your parts I suggest coming to the forums so we can double check it.
