A Do-It-Yourself Computer is always better than purchasing it from those branded companies like Dell, Compaq, HP, etc. I would know better as I have been building up my own machine for a long time and has also helped friends to set up their own computer. It's really simple and cheap to set up a future-proof machine.

You get to choose the specifications that you desire at a low price. These videos here will teach you what are the parts you need to set up your own computer.

Firstly, you must always get these parts:

• Motherboard (to hold all the parts together)
• CPU (the brain)
• Chassis/Casing (Exterior protection)
• Power Supply 
• Graphic Card (to run the latest games)
• RAM (I recommend 2x2gb) DDR2 is fine unless you are rich and want a DDR3
• Harddisk. (1 TB is huge and cheap enough)
• Monitor
• Keyboard/Mouse

Now just follow these videos and you are on your way to setting up your own computer.

Step 1: Setting it all up. You do not need the static band, just connect your Power Supply to a power (do not have to switch on) and touching it will Earth yourself.



Step 2: Mounting Power Supply, CPU, Heat-Sink Fan, RAM, MotherBoard



Step 3: Connecting case wires to motherboard and DVD drive



Step 4: Wiring up the computer




Step 5: How to install a PCI-E graphic card



Step 6: Installing your OS
