How to build your own Desktop Computer

I know what you are thinking right now. Is it really hard to build a computer? The answer is NO. I can say that computers are probably the most simple thing to build. The important thing is to understand what is every part of the computer.

First we have a Motherboard, which is the main board in the system, almost everything will be attached to it, and you can think of it as the sandbox to play in.

Second we have the Processor, which will be the brain of the computer. It is attached to the Motherboard and it will be measured in Gigahertz. The better the processor, the faster it will take to the computer process all the information. Nowadays, processors are sold by cores, every core we can understand it as an individual brain.

Our third item will be the Memory RAM, which will increase the channels where the information will be going thru. You can think of it as a Highway it doesn't matter how fast your car will be (processors) but if you want to move 100 cars through a one line street will be really harder than if you are moving them in a 10-line highway. So the more RAM you put in the computer, the easiest will be for it to channel the information. The Memory RAM is attached to the Motherboard too. The RAM is nowadays measured in Gigabytes.

This three components are what I'm going to call the main core of the computer. They are the most important part of it.

Then we have the Hard Drive, which will be the storage for all the information in your computer. It is not attached directly to the motherboard but it connects to it by some cables.
The Hard Drive nowadays is measured in Gigabytes and we are seeing already the Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes.

There is also the video cards and audio cards, they will be the components to give you video and audio. Video cards are measured in Megabytes; and the audio cards will be depend on the amount of channels of audio are supported and by the quality of sound. Be aware that some Motherboards come already with embedded Video cards and/or Audio cards.

After this components, you need an optical device, which are the CD/DVD Readers or Burners, which will allow you put information to the computer like adding programs, listen to music from the CD, watch a DVD Movie or burn a CD/DVD.

The final component that you need is a Power Supply, which will give power to the computer. this item is probably the last one to buy since you need to know how much you will be needing in your system and tat information will be given by the manufacturers of each part.

Once you get all these items, you need a Computer Case, be aware of the size and amount of air flowing inside it; new technologies are more reliables and faster but they are known for releasing more heat sso the more air it flows the better. Be aware that some cases already come with the power supply.

I know that it seem comfusing but it is not. Soon i will be posting more information on how to build your desktop computer.
