Gather all necessary components and tools
Ensure you have all the required components such as CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU, storage devices, power supply, case, and necessary cables. Additionally, gather tools like screwdrivers, cable ties, and thermal paste.
Prepare the workspace and anti-static precautions
Choose a clean, well-lit workspace and use an anti-static wrist strap to prevent damage to sensitive components. Lay out all the components and tools in an organized manner for easy access.
Install the CPU, RAM, and storage devices
Carefully install the CPU into the motherboard socket, followed by the installation of RAM modules and storage devices such as SSDs or HDDs.
Mount the motherboard in the case
Secure the motherboard in the case using standoffs and screws, ensuring it is properly aligned and all connections are accessible.
Connect power supply, fans, and other peripherals
Connect the power supply to the motherboard and other components, install case fans, and connect any additional peripherals such as USB ports or audio jacks.
Install the GPU and connect display devices
Install the GPU into the appropriate slot on the motherboard and connect it to the power supply. Then, connect display devices such as monitors or VR headsets.
Power on and test the system
Double-check all connections, power on the system, and enter the BIOS to ensure all components are recognized. Install the operating system and run stress tests to ensure stability and performance.
