First time gaming pc, need advice

psJustDoit · Nov 9, 2015

So i already ordered the components for my new gaming pc, but since it will be my first time assembling a pc when they arrive, im a bit nervous about messing something up and it not booting up so if you could give me some advice, little details when assembling and setting up the bios, here are the components ill put into it just in case: i5 4590, r9 380 nitro 4gb, corsair vengeance 2x4 gb 1600 MHz, XFX 550 watt psu, WD Blue 1tb 7200 rpm, ASRock h97 anniversary

You shouldn't need to worry about doing anything in BIOS to start. Except for maybe the boot order. I would watch a couple tutorial how to's on building a PC on youtube. There are tons of really good one out there.

I would say the biggest mistake new builders make, is not hooking up all of the needed power for the PC and having things not boot up. The walkthrough videos do a great job of covering all the needed power cables that are needed.

I wouldn't worry too much. Even issues with static electricity are almost a thing of the past. Just be fairly gentle and don't use a hammer to install things, and you will be fine. Take you time, and if you run into any road blocks, ask for help on these forums with some pictures of your troubled area, and you will get help.

Here is a good YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bUghCx9iso&app=desktop
And here is a good life hacker article http://lifehacker.com/5827491/how-to-build-a-computer-from-scratch-lesson-3-building-the-computer

Hope this could help- I would look at the life hacker article first
