STEP 1: GATHER YOUR COMPONENTS:Host shows the various components.
HOST: Before we start, make sure you have all the necessary components: a motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, power supply, storage devices, and necessary cables. Lay them out on a clean, static-free surface.
STEP 2: INSTALL THE CPU:Host demonstrates installing the CPU.
HOST: Begin by unlocking the CPU socket on the motherboard. Gently place the CPU in the socket, ensuring the notches align. Close and secure the socket.
STEP 3: INSTALL RAM:Host shows how to install RAM modules.
HOST: Locate the RAM slots on the motherboard. Open the clips on each side of the slot, align the notches on the RAM stick with those on the slot, and firmly press down until the clips lock in place.
STEP 4: MOUNT THE MOTHERBOARD:Host demonstrates placing the motherboard into the case.
HOST: Carefully position the motherboard into the case, aligning it with the standoffs. Secure the motherboard by screwing it onto the standoffs. Ensure it's snug but not overly tightened.
STEP 5: INSTALL THE GPU:Host shows how to install the graphics card.
HOST: Find the PCI-Express slot on the motherboard. Align the GPU's PCIe connector with the slot, gently push down until it clicks, and secure it with the bracket.
STEP 6: CONNECT POWER SUPPLY:Host connects power cables.
HOST: Connect the necessary power cables from the power supply to the motherboard, CPU, GPU, and other components. Make sure the connections are secure.
STEP 7: CONNECT STORAGE DEVICES:Host demonstrates connecting storage devices.
HOST: Connect your storage devices, such as SSDs or HDDs, to the motherboard using SATA cables. Ensure the power and data cables are properly connected.
STEP 8: CABLE MANAGEMENT:Host tidies up cables.
HOST: Neatly organize and secure cables using cable ties. Good cable management not only looks better but also helps with airflow.
STEP 9: POWER ON THE SYSTEM:Host presses the power button.
Finally, connect your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Press the power button, and if everything is connected correctly, your system should boot up.
