Im an autistic high school dropout with a double digit IQ. Im 90% sure that something will go wrong and it wont turn on and i will never figure out why. Or that i dont know what to do in the bios or something.
if pic related can do it then so can you.
Use legos as practice, pay attention the sound of the snaps and apply that to the pieces
>>28766282
Yea i saw that. The fact that that made the news is worrying me even more.
In the same boat OP. I know my own retardation will fuck something up and i won't notice until like months down the road.
I'm getting my cousin who has like eight PC's he built himself put it together next week. Post your build OP.
>>28766236
well, can't you return some of the parts back?
>>28766236
Some parts like the RAM will take more pressure to insert than you think, but just don't go around slamming things into slots.

Im especially scared of installing the cpu cooler and installing the mobo in the case. I watched some videos and it looks really hard. Also, the cables are really confusing. And what if im missing a cable?
>>28766473
it's easy as fuck no sweat. also all the cables you need will be included with what you ordered.
Dude it's not even a challenge, my mom built a PC for my birthday by herself and everything went perfectly.
>>28766608
Someone told me i might miss a sata cable, because i also ordered an optical drive i didnt put on the list.
just don't be afraid to use force on some components when you feel they aren't installed correctly
i didnt plug the big power cable thing in the middle of the motherboard correctly because i was afraid of breaking it and couldn't find the issue lol

>>28766236
If you're scared about the static electricity meme just touch a metal surface to discharge.
Care not to short circuit anything.
Watch + - gnd when plugging a pin.
In the bios/uefi just use failsafe settings, or default. If something doesn't work/crashes look the voltage at which your ram operates and change in bios.
If something doesn't work the beeps from the motherboard should allow you to diagnose any problem, read in the manual for their signification.
It's pretty idiot proof really, people without any education are paid to chain assemble computers for literally nothing, you won't fail.

And besides, playing with a controller feels handicapped. With a mouse and keyboard you can do everything better and faster. Enjoy your 30fps faggot.

Unless you're playing FPS, which you honestly shouldn't, it feels way better since games are made with a controller in mind
>Enjoy your 30fps faggot
Enjoy 0fps on that game everyone else is playing
I'm doing the same thing, and I'm really scared. I don't want to break anything or do it wrong.
I have all the parts except the graphics card which doesn't release until June 10th.
>>28767354

Man, a lot of people overlook the fact that if you skipped the last gen of consoles (PS3/360/Wii) a PC is absolutely godly. When I first built my pc, there were so many amazing multiplats I missed out on that I experienced in 1080p/60fps/max, where as console users played them at 720p/30fps/low.
Here's a great example, Dark Souls released in 2009, 720p/30fps with drops on console, where as anyone with at least a 750ti ($100 video card) can play it at 1440p/60fps. Notice all the details in the armor/textures that are just a blur on consoles.
>>28767534
>>28766236
Just follow the motherboard manual very carefully and you should be all set, it explains how every component is installed
>>28766473
>300+ video card
Le why, just buy a cheap one with direct x 11 or 12.
>>28767384
all good pc games require a decent computer because they are ports of games optimized for 8 cores on consoles.
>>28767572
>didn't have a dreamcast keyboard
don't tell me you played phantasy star online without the ability to piss off foreigners constantly??
>>28766473
All the cables are keyed, so they only go into one hole.

>>28767507
>wow is the only mmo
Try again loser. A sense of community is basically nonexistent on console because you cant chat.
>controller
It feels handicapped in every game except platform games maybe. Games arent made with a controller in mind.
Every game worth playing releases on pc aswell. You cant say that about consoles.
>>28767600
>Dark Souls released in 2009, 720p/30fps with drops on console, where as anyone with at least a 750ti ($100 video card) can play it at 1440p/60fps
Too bad the port is absolutely shit and you have to install lots of fixes for it
I don't think the game even works properly
>>28767662
>Games arent made with a controller in mind
Absolute delusion
Yes, not even turn based RPGs, those are specifically crafted with keyboards in mind because there's just too many buttons to press
I was in the same boat as you when i built mine, but i promise its easy as fuck. Its so easy you will feel stupid you were ever nervous. Just watch some youtube videos. Everything is either labeled where to go, or is incredibly obvious because certian things will only fit in certain places.
>>28767662
>>28767709
forgot
>Every game worth playing releases on pc aswell. You cant say that about consoles.
and every game worth playing in the future will be released on a PS4, so it's either begging or hoping an emulator can even be made
>>28767534
You can build the pc now, you probably have integrated graphics. A gpu is optional.
>>28766236
it's very easy, did it when I was 14, if something goes wrong carefully analyze the problem, and find a solution
>>28767747
And then I can just stick the GPU in when it arrives?
>>28767780
Yep. And the gpu goes in last anyway so you dont even have to take your pc apart when it arrives.
Integrated graphics work suprisingly well. You can play stuff like league of legends at medium graphics probably.
Go on young senpai, build your first pc!
With my first PC, I fiddled with a heatsink for an hour until I decided to watch a how-to. I followed the guy in the video exactly and it just worked.
Then there was the "OMG PC NOT TURNING ON I ROASTED MY CPU" problem after everything was assembled, which I solved by switching my monitor from VGA to HDMI.
tl;dr: Watch a few youtube videos, don't panic and when you have a problem, GOOGLE IT!

>>28767678
What? All you have to do is download a free simple mod called DSFix and adjust settings in it, takes all of two minutes and the game runs perfectly. "A lot of fixes" is complete bullshit, along with "I don't think the game even works properly." The only actual issue is you can encounter a glitch on two ladders in the game but it is extremely rare.
>>28767845

i laughed heartily at this post of yours
It's really not difficult at all. I was scared as well since I'm dumb as rocks, but the motherboard manual pretty much walks you step by step.
I also watched a video of a guy building a computer, using the same case that I bought. I pretty much read the manual, and watched him build it to do it easily.
The only difficult part of building a PC, is wire management. It's very boring to do.
>>28767615
Because i want to run games at 144fps. I have a 144hz monitor.
>>28767927
>game works properly
The weapon decay rate and invincibility frames are tied to the game framerate. Literally if you're at 60fps your weapons degrade at least twice as fast, you have half the invincibility time, and most enemies animate twice as quickly. Dark Souls was literally programmed in the worst possible way in all regards.
They might've fixed it for the later Dark Souls, but I kekked my ass off hearing how shit it was.

You know who else capitalizes random words? Chrischan.
It was surprisingly easy except it's been over a year now and I still cant get audio to work on mine for some reason. I just use a usb headphone, but it still pisses me off knowing I failed in building a working pc.
>>28770489
Do you have seperate speakers or integrated in your monitor?
>>28770645
Seperate speakers
All I get is weird static whether it be through front panel port for headphones or through speakers connected to the mobo
Everything else worked out without a hitch. Asked all over forums for several months. Might cave and take it to the shop soon. I feel it's something super obvious and simple.
>>28771572
Have you enabled it in devices>sound?
fellow autist who couldn't build a computer here, but managed to do it anyway
most of the time it's easy shit, just read the motherboard manual so you know which stuff goes where. Biggest challenge was plugging LED lights and HDD cables which done wrong could short-circuit your motherboard, but I did fine.
>>28766357
Also the graphics card can sometimes be hard to fully insert too.
>>28766282
but does he solder cpus
>>28770489
Do you have drivers installed and is the correct output device selected in playback devices? Sometimes it can default to HDMI if you are using a HDMI monitor.
OP here, did I select a good graphics card?
>>28771646
Yeah I think so
Drivers seem to be correctly installed and everything.
Makes me wonder if I just plugged something in wrong although I've taken it apart and put it back together dozens of times
>>28772263
Dumb question but have you tried using a different pair of headphones to rule out a bad cable?
If so what motherboard do you have? Maybe there is a known issue with the board.
>>28772261
timestamp it nigger
>>28772294
Yeah I've tried a few. The front panel doesnt work with headphones (tried a few) and also the sound panel on the motherboard gives the same feedback (static basically) with speakers
Here's motherboard and everything else
>>28772427
Just realized something that might help. So speccy has AMD high definition audio device listed here right? Well under Device Manager I have AMD High Definition AND realtek high definition audio. However, the static is coming from the realtek audio and not the amd audio device driver as listed. If i disable amd audio in Device Manager nothing happens, but if I disable realtek the static stops. Dont know if this means anything, but maybe it's something
>>28772427
>>28772593
Try installing the latest audio driver for this board and see if the problem persists http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/realtek_hd_audio.zip
Remember to right click and install as administrator on the installer .exe.
The AMD audio device is for HDMI over audio driver.
>>28772593
>>28772683
Also that board should have Realtek HD Audio Manager once the driver is installed, and it has a fuck ton of options to configure jacks including independent volume controls and output selection. Might be worth a look.
>>28766708
>>28766774
Holy shit! People who give info others are asking for! I fucking love you 2 so much
>>28772427
Do you all have all of the most recent ms updates? Some of these newer motherboards can require that semi-recent updates are installed to work correctly.
>>28766236

>>28772683
>>28772899
Problem still persists. It does detect the audio device which confuses me a bit, because if the driver is fucked then it shouldn't do that right? It's also funny that both the front panel and the speakers connected to the mobo give off the exact same static sound.

You've definitely tried the green audio output port on the back of the motherboard? If so then I would suspect software as the ports on the back are soldered directly to the audio circuit which eliminates wiring errors.
>>28773477
Yeah I've tried the back green port for the speakers before. Just put it in about 5 min ago desu

>implying the jews care about a lardass american neet that doesn't go outside and has no friends
I have a question lads. When you're done building your pc what do you do afterwards? Do you just turn it on and insert the OS? I heard you have to put some motherboard disc first?
>>28773608
Nothing else pops up and the green default tick does not move
>>28773659
All levels look fine. Changed settings and nothing happened, not even a volume increase. I am getting static so there is some sort of connection I think.
>>28773843
Turn it on and let it do its first POST, don't be scared if it does some weird stuff. Secondly head to the BIOS and check the CPU temps just in case you messed up with the heatsink install, if its climbing rapidly (60c+) then power off and repaste.
If all is good then you can go ahead and install the OS.
>>28766236
Its actually really fucking easy it's basically meccano or Lego you just put the bits together and you're away, everything has its place marked out and you just screw it in and plug in all the connections
There will be instructions on what to do with the box each component comes in and the motherboard will have a fat manual that goes through literally every part you can attach to it and where to put it
If you've put something in wrong or haven't connected bits it just won't turn on and you'll just go through and check everything until you find what's wrong it won't explode or catch fire
>>28773868
Does the static only appear when you play something with sound? And does it go away after a while?
>>28766404
Most parts are static resistant these days anyway too yeah?
>>28766393
Whats wrong with 10?
You don't sound like a double digit IQ person desu
>>28766473

>>28773913
Ok thanks m8
sdgasd
>>28773913
Do you need to change stuff in the bios or is it different for every mobo?
Computers are pretty much Lego these days, you almost can't fuck it up.
If a plug looks like it goes in a certain way, it probably does as long as you don't need to force it in with more pressure than a stiff light switch.

Most things are auto detecting these days but if you've got XMP extreme memory profile ram then that normally needs enabling manually.
If you've got two hard drives then you'll probably have to set which one is the boot drive containing the OS, but apart from that >>28774026

Solid build. One thing you can do if you want to save $90 on that Win10 key is pirate (I believe you can actually pirate Win8, then upgrade it to 10 which gives you a fully legit Win10 key) or buy a cheap $15 key off MicrosoftSoftwareSwap (though YMMV on that, a few keys end up getting disabled.) Also people will probably go "lol, you went full cheapstake on monitor" but if you sit very close to your computer 22" is actually the perfect size. A lot of people get motion sickness because they think larger is better and get huge monitors while sitting way too close.

And is there really no way you can get an erhernet cable to your pc?
And i would go with another monitor. Do some more research on that, maybe you want 144hz, 1440p, ips or tn etc.
For videogames at 60hz 1080p i would go with an asus vs248h-p.
