    Ultimate PC Building Guide

    Just wanted to pass on this constantly updated PC Building Guide from Nortichardware.com

    Between this awesome guide and the many others out there, I wonder if we should get a sticky going with nothing but PC building guides.

    No offence to DdogG, but those helpful links havent been updated since 05'

    Anyway, you link to the guide:

    PC Building Guide

    It is basic to a point, and gives you a good start on what you need to consider so you can do more in depth research yourself.

    Enjoy................................

    so update them......

    but actually, I had updated them in the past, as I just did again... the original post was made in '05, and editing the post does not change that. I will add your link as well.

    Most links do not change frequently... and 95% of the ones there will be valid for the next decade.

    Re: Ultimate PC Building Guide

    This is another like right up there with the best guides I have ever found:

    The 2008 PC Builder's Bible

    It helps you from beginning to end pick the right parts, put it all together, and then tweak it to make it fast.

    Above: Building your own PC isn’t as difficult as it seems. Let us show you how it’s done

    Re: Ultimate PC Building Guide

    New article just posted should help people learn all about harddrive

    Giz Explains: Everything You Need to Know About Hard Drives

    Lots of good details, and a really easy read.

    Site is running a bit slow right now, but should be back to normal in a couple hours.

    Re: Ultimate PC Building Guide

    MaximumPC has another good guide. I don't agree with a lot of their recommendations, like the cases they suggest are hideous. But they do have some great explinations about the current status of ATI/Nvidia cards, and a pretty good step by step build guide. Also has a decent overclocking guide.

    Re: Ultimate PC Building Guide

    Pretty good guide Maximum PC just posted. It is a video guide on how to do everything when putting together a new PC. Should come in very handy for anyone trying it for the first time.

    Video: How to Build a PC - Every Step Explained


    .
