The PC I buil a month and a half ago was half built by my 13 year old brother while I had to cook. Just like in Legos, when in doubt consult the manual for the motherboard. |
You say that but there are issues that can throw you off even if you are experienced at it...especially if you are on the tight budget.
About 6 months ago I picked up a tri SLI Asus AM2 , AM3 board off newegg, a quad Phenom and all the jazz... and the computer would not boot up and was frying my quadcore CPU. It turned out that the board needed a bios flash to support AM3 quad CPUs. Had me stumped for 2 days... and the only reason why I was able to fix it, is because I had a dual core Athlon sitting in a box at home which I could use to boot up the mobo and flash it.
