[Britanian]

First of all, which Screwdriver would people recommend to get to build a PC or if there is no prefernces than what sort of Screwdriver ahould I get: a.k.a magnetic, made of any particular sort of materials as to not short out any of my components.

Brit,

A Phillips screwdriver is all you need. 

[Altecice]

No Preference use whatever you like. I have built many computers with magnetic ones and no harm has ever been done.

[DarrenP]

I find just a general good screwdriver to work fine. I use a magnetic tip-ed ratcheting screwdriver personally.

One taht fits the screws and perhaps is longer than 2cm. If it fullfills this criteria, you gonna be fine ^^

If you want specific screwdriver I suggest the Husky HD-74501 AC. Very small and it has a total of 8 attachable heads.

[CwGoh]

It must be magnetic. Ratcheting if you have the money.

[Virgule]

Gaming screwdriver only.

I use a precision phillips set, some screws can just be too small for your standard Phillips screwdriver (i.e. the ones on the back of the 290X when your taking the HSF assembly off to install any aftermarket cooler).

 

It costs like $20 for the set form your local hardware store, includes Pentalope (always nice to mess around with your old, dead HDDs) and what not, and also magnetic.

I have a Snapon screwdriver with the extra heads in the handle its also magnetic which makes it fricking awesome for like £10 lol

[LogicDeifying]

The electric kind and use that at full speed

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!

My better half have purchased this tool kit in the past and liked it enough to purchase it again,  I know we bought at least one to keep at the office we used to work at for computer stuff for instance.

 

It is more than you need, but it is frequently on sale for $20.00 and has enough in it for that price I would recommend it, especially if you don't have any other computer tools.  As others have said you stand a good chance of getting by with just a Phillips, but the other stuff can save you some cursing sometimes.  Personally I love the screw grabber claw thingy it comes with.

I use an electric one with changeable speeds and torque. Makes life much easier. The changing torque is nice so it doesn't strip screws and when it's tight (as the set torque) it just stops spinning.

Something non magnetic , preferably a Phillips Head.

Magnetic is honestly perfectly fine.

[Flyguygamer]

Go with this.

This is what Linus uses.

I love the screwdriver. 

[Akolyte]

Get a magnetic screwdriver with changeable tips, and a kit of different tips to go with it.
