What will you learn?
Building a computer starts with understanding and selecting the essential components: the CPU, motherboard, RAM, storage, power supply, case, and GPU. Each part plays a specific role—such as the CPU acting as the brain, RAM providing short-term memory, and the motherboard connecting all parts. When teaching users, we guide them through choosing compatible parts based on their goals, whether for gaming or general use. We cover key considerations like CPU socket types, RAM generation, GPU power needs, and case size. Once all parts are selected, we prepare a clean, static-free workspace and emphasize the importance of grounding to prevent electrostatic damage.
Next, we walk users through the hands-on building process. We start by installing the CPU, RAM, and cooler onto the motherboard, followed by mounting the board into the case. We then install the power supply, GPU, and storage devices such as SSDs or HDDs, connecting all necessary power and data cables. Special attention is given to cable management for airflow and aesthetics. Once everything is in place, we power on the system, access the BIOS to confirm all components are recognized, and proceed with installing the operating system. Throughout the session, we encourage questions, offer troubleshooting tips, and build the user’s confidence—helping them understand not just how to assemble a PC, but how it all works together.
