Thread: My first computer build

I have never built a computer before and I am diving in head first. Thanks to Ryan and Dave or I would be lost on my project. So the parts are listed below I will add more as I buy the parts.

My Mid Case, Cool Masters Haf 992.



Also I picked up a Anti Static wrist strap so I don't fry things putting them in place.



Motherboard, ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS




Processor, AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor.



Just ordered a yellow wire sleeve kit.

More parts to come silly...

Tbh.... I wouldn't have worried the case until later. Nice case none the less, I got a Storm Scout and love it. CM makes some nice cases for sure. What is the hardware?

Oh and don't forget wire tuck.

NegativeOne, I have no clue what I am doing, lol still have to learn alot I am like a deer in headlights right now.

Okay..... price range? What is going to be the primary use of the computer? And.... do you have any computer parts/computers for parts?

I am looking at motherboards right now, I want it go be good for games and fast, Internet and music.

Price range?

Also I need a colors to go with, the fan is red and the wire sleeves I am going with I think are going to be green.

Really Do not have a price range I have no Idea where to set it at.

To be honest, I think it would be good to buy a bundle. Everything included most of the time, and good for beginners while saving a little.

This one is a bit on the higher end

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!

And I prefer Gigabyte boards over most... Asus makes good boards.

I was looking at this one But I dint know what the difference is between one or the other.

Seems like a decent board.

Yeah, But what makes that board good I have no clue what the numbers mean... I am a noob.

And a Motherboard controls everything right?
