Step 1: Collecting parts

First, you have to buy these parts because it’s all are necessary to build the computer

  1. Processor   2. Motherboard   3. Ram   4. Hard drive   5. Computer case   6. Power supply (SMPS)   7. Optical Drive (DVD-RW and SATA capable)   8. SATA Cables (Comes with the new motherboard)   9. Processor Fan (Comes with a new processor)   10. Case Fan   11. Assortment of case and drive screws

Caution: Double check the product specifications of all items before you’ve made some purchase. Kits are supposed to contain compatible parts:

Step 2: Gather Tools and Supplies

Gather the tools you will need for this project:

Screwdriver (for slotted and Phillips head screws)

Small flashlight

Small container to hold screws

Anti-static wrist strap

Warning: Using incorrect tools for a task can cause hardware damage and injury.

Step 3: Open The Case

Open the computer case by removing the screws that hold the side panels and then lift it away from the case.

Step 4: Prepare the Case for Assembly

Things need to be done before assembly:

Remove any parts or package that may come inside the case.
