Hi,

Going to be building a gaming PC and as I am a complete noob, I wanted a full walkthrough (detailed), on how to build a PC. All the popular ones I have looked at (Austin Evans, RandomFrankP), are not detailed with the wiring.

Can anyone recommend me a full detailed guide on how to build a PC (Wiring and everything covered)?

This site has a good article on building a PC.

But your best option is to watch videos on line. YouTube has absolutely everything. It will be easiest if you find one where they are building a system with your motherboard chosen. So I would google how to build a PC and the model of your motherboard. I would be surprised if there were not some videos of your motherboard being built. This will show you how all of the wiring and all of that is done on your specific motherboard.

the best guide is your motherboard's manual. it will walk step by step where everything goes and how ti hooks up.
start at page 1 and go page by page until you hit the end. pretty hard to miss something that way. if you don't have an item skip that page and go to the next.
never failed me yet this way :)
 


Haha, reading the instructions. Now there is a novel concept :)

not really. cable management is probably the most tedious thing to do if you want it to look nice inside.

everything only goes in one place and fits in one way so there is little you can do wrong if you're careful and go step by step. just don't get in a hurry and follow the manual and it will be surprisingly easy to do.
 


Here is the secret, building a computer is actually very easy. Your not really even building the thing, it is just an assembly, like furniture you get from IKEA (probably easier than assembling furniture from IKEA). There really are only a few parts and they snap together like Legos. If it does not snap together, then it does not go there.

Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can.
