Step-by-step instructions to build your own PC from scratch — no experience needed.
Before touching any components, set up a clean, static-free workspace. Use an anti-static wrist strap and lay components on their anti-static bags.
Open the CPU socket lever on the motherboard. Align the CPU with the socket notches and gently place it in — no force needed. Lock the lever back down.
Mount the CPU cooler on top of the processor. Secure it with the provided brackets or screws and connect the fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on the motherboard.
Insert RAM sticks into the correct slots (check your motherboard manual for dual-channel configuration). Press firmly until the clips click into place.
For M.2 SSDs, slide into the M.2 slot at an angle and screw down. For SATA drives, mount in the drive bay and connect both the SATA data and power cables.
Install the I/O shield into the case first. Then align the motherboard standoffs and screw the motherboard in place using the provided screws.
Slide the PSU into its bay (usually at the bottom of the case). Secure with screws and route cables through the case for clean cable management.
Remove the PCIe slot covers on the case. Insert the GPU into the primary PCIe x16 slot until it clicks. Secure with screws and connect PCIe power cables from the PSU.
Do a test boot outside the case first to catch any issues early.
Double-check all power connectors are fully seated before turning on.
Keep your manual handy — every motherboard has slightly different headers.
Ground yourself regularly to avoid static damage to sensitive components.
