How to Build Gaming Computers

Bam! I was like you about 3 weeks ago. I knew abso-posi-tivly-lutly nothing about computers. And i still pretty much dont, BUT! I know a bunch of stuff about hardware which i learned whilst trying to build a computer. I used those sites, and i went to newegg.com and just went step by step looking at the parts and learning about what all the specs mean on the web pages.

Those sites helped me learn alot. Also read reviews for everything you buy, like from newegg.com or tigerdirect or just google the name of the product and find reviews, sometimes it helps you realize that two peices may not be compatable for whatever reason, and you might have missed that point because its kind of an obscure bit of knowledge.

Also i know the second link says build gaming computer. It does not really matter, it teaches you stuff regardless of its aim lol.
