Please log in for more thread options with pictures.. here is a couple-: http://www.buildeasypc.com/ http://tomshardware.co.uk/2002/09/04/building_your_own_pc/index.html Essentially you need to know what you want to do with the computer... "ok, ok apart from use it"... do you want it to play super fast games, just a run of the mill for a bit of this or bit of that or are you wanting it for a specific task? These are the things you need to decide before going out and buying any gubbins, like mobo, CPU and graphic card all these will play an important part in a computer for 'Gamers' but not so much for general purpose user's. Always select the items with care and not just to go out and buy, then the building begins. One thing you need to bear in mind is that you'll need an OS installation disc, XP operating System will soon be replaced by Vista, these are not particularly cheap compared to other systems such as Linux for want of a name. Yep folks I'm a fan of the ol' Floppy, "nowt wrong wi a floppy", because it's a cheap handy way of transporting small files... 1.4Mb lol, it works for me anyway. The PSU or Power Supply Unit is as important as a CPU chip, the heavier it is in weight the better it is.... the best ones are Enermax and Antec brands but they aren't cheap, no doubt there are many other's but these 'are' the best. Here's a dandy Power Supply Calculator click this link and it's at the bottom of the page-: http://www.journeysystems.com/power_supply_calculator.phpMaybe a good policy is to pay as much as you can afford for a PSU (Power Supply Unit). Do stay well clear of the 'El Cheapo ones'. Davy | ||||||||||
