So my friend spent almost $2000 ordering parts in order to build a pretty nice PC. I continuously warned him that it is a long and complex process, and that he would need to be properly educated in order to complete the build. Well, he didn't listen. Today all of the parts came in, and he said, "ah what the heck, Ill just build it right now." So, 2 hrs later and he is sitting there incredibly agitated and tired still trying to put the aftermarket cpu cooler on, which is actually a pretty simple one (NH-U12S). Now, after repeatedly receiving phone calls from him and not actually being able to help (because I can't see the dang build), I come to you guys. Are there any really detailed guides, video and text, that could help a noob like my friend? He doesn't just need tips, he needs a full on breakdown and walk through that covers basically every aspect of the process of building a pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
