I am making a topic ahead of time, the parts won't be here untill friday or saturday. Any and All questions I have will be posted here.

[EDIT- The estimated arrival date is thursday the 15th]

I voted HELL YES, I even spelt retard wrong.

Lol. Hey man, we were all like this at one point or another. Ask all the questions you want to, I love this kinda stuff-talking hardware. Do you have somebody that's going to help you put it together? Like an I.T. nerd from school or something?

Yeeeah. You did.

Nope just me. I dont know any I.T. nerds, all my friends are COMPUTER RETARDS. lol, I know more then them but not very much just basics.

[EDIT]- I was typing fast, "yeah sure like that is any reason," you say.

Jay, I know you voted for HELL YES.

I would recommend being overseen by somebody who knows their way around the inside of the computer. It's safer, and you don't screw up your parts. I will disperse general tips of knowledge though. (sorry if these seem trivial. I want to touch all bases)

General Tips:
1. Take your time. A computer is like a child, it takes a lot of time, nurturing, blood, sweat, tears, etc. Be paitent when building it. Don't rush. Take time to read the manuals (especially mobo). Familiarize yourself with everything that is going into the case, and devise a build plan (or order if you will) to make it easy for you to fit every component in with as little clutter as possible.

2. Keep yourself grounded at all time. (need I say more)

3. CPU Fans are a bitch to get on. Be very careful. Also, make sure you put an abudent amount of thermal paste between the chip and sink. A good paste transmitting connection is very very beneficial to overclocking. Finally, make sure you put the heatsink on right. (this comes from an experience in high school) You don't want your processor to burn up.

4. Finally. Enjoy yourself. It's a rewarding experience in many ways, and have fun doing it. Computers are more then just machines to do our bidding, for most of us, they constitute a major part of our lives, whether it be career, entertainment or other uses. Feel proud about what you've accomplished, and know that you are now part of a select few that has enough hardware knowledge to not get ripped off by a computer supplier.

If you need help, I've build more computers than I can count, and would be happy to assist you.

afrotect@breakmanx.com

Yeah me too. I think between Afrotect and I we might have built somewhere in the 50's... damn that's a lot of computers now that I think about it.

Geez, around you guys I feel like a n00b.

I dont know anyone that can oversee the building of the computer.

And yeah I am going to read every manuel, grounding knew that, And i have a 4 day weekend to build it so i am sure that is plenty of time.

I got plenty of Artic Silver thermal paste (1 Cc./ 3 g) And yeah I have installed CPU fans, they are bitches.

And Realm I am a super n00b compare to everyone here.

It's really a lot more simple than it seems. You just screw everything in. Plug everything into the motherboard and power supply, and turn the bitch on. It's installing Windows and the drivers that will usually cause you much more grief than the actual physical building of the machine. Don't worry. It's a cinch.

Yeah it probably is that easy, if you know just about everything there is too know like you, Afro, and EMP (you guys are like super-geniuses)

Yeah really tho, it is fairly easy, I have upgraded and switched part from one PC to another. The real thing that I have never done is Bios, Drives and O/Cin'. They i assume are easy just need all the Drivers that come with the stuff and the Bios, i actually have no idea.. and Overclocking, never done before, and still have some questions but those will come later, after I get it to work and stuff first.

For shizzle dawg, I be hookin ya up CPU style. You let a brotha know, and a brotha represents.

Fo shizzle.

Let me know, I will walk you through every step. Or even let you watch me and I'll teach you.

Lemme know

Riiigghhttt*dr. evil voice*

That is why i made this topic so then if I got a Prob i get some help.

Anyway, all my stuff came today, a day ahead of schedule*happy happy joy joy *, except my mobo. That will probably come tomorrow.

Lol, can't do much with out the mobo. Read manuals I guess. BTW, you're gonna post pics when this is done right?
