Welcome!

On this site I'll will be listing some guidelines and websites that will be very helpful for anyone who is trying to build a computer from bottom up.

I also have listed the components needed for a computer.Each conponent is essential in order to build any conputer .I had done alot of reasearch on what conponents I myself would need if I wanted to create a computer and where the best places to find each one were.I found each of the conponents off my list from one of the websites I listed at the bottom of this page.To make it easier i even provided a link to send you right to the source if anyone is interested.Right next to the conponents are my sources for the parts which I previously informed you about , and the parts prices which I found from the site aswell . I will also inform everyone of my considerations for optimizing the system and my considerations for protecting the system as well.

By clicking this link you will find an easy step by step instructional video on "How to build a computer" It's free to watch and easy to follow.

My Reconmendations for protecting your system are as follows:

Download a virus protection software suchas , Norton Anti-virus or Spysweeper.
Turn off the entire system when the weather is bad .Suchas when it is storming.To prevent anything from being destroyed or lost.

If anyone is interested in buying or wishes to check out the computer conponents I have listed personally .You can do so by clicking the matching website links below.Each are the sources I myself found the information from listed above.

Each conponent mentioned above was one of the top rated conponents from each site. Which Is why there is not only one specific brand or making provided for each conponent itself.I did my reasearch and found the best of the best for what I was looking for and to better suit the needs of shopping for the parts needed to build a GOOD computer.
