________________________________________
Have you ever wanted to build your own computer?
Would you like to know what each component does?
Do you want to know how to get the best bang for your buck?
This course will begin with some explanation of different terminology when it comes to PC components. You'll learn how each component connects to each other, their purposes, things to watch out for when purchasing components, and how to decide what parts need to perform better based on the tasks you want the computer will do.
You'll go through the steps of building your first computer piece by piece, with great attention to detail along the way. Afterwhich, you'll learn the process of installing an operating system on the computer, to make the system fully functional and ready to use!
This course will evolve over time.. Later installments may include things like:
- High-end Gaming PC Builds (Done and added to course!)
- Water Cooling (Done and added to course!)
- Home Theater PC Builds
- Raspberry PI Builds
- Hackintosh Builds
In the first installment, you'll learn how to build a general usage PC that will perform well for daily use, using a classroom lecture format.
** First course expansion released! **
Showing how to build a computer hands-on was easily the most requested feature after the course's original release. So, we've put together a giant new section on building an extremely high performance liquid cooled overclocked gaming PC! You will find this section at the end of the course.
