what do

Thats how i felt when i had my first build. Just build it, those parts arent as delicate as u may think and watch PC building videos to really get the whole process in your mind.

Realize that the chance of breaking anything while installing the parts is slim to none and just fucking build it. They're literally Legos for adults. Just put the pieces in the right slots and have patience.

-stop being a pussy ass faggot
-kill yourself

the choice is yours

>middle class white boi gen z faggot doesnt know how to put together his overpriced gaming device

oh boy ... where did it all go so wrong?

what about cable management?

Take your time, and just route then where they look the best and take up the least amount of room.

>mid class
I wish

yeah I know that feeling, I usually pay others to dust my pc properly because I don't have the proper tools to do it (like I only have a can of air and remove the big portion of dust, but the small pieces that stick between components are a bitch

Return it and get a PS4 Pro. It's more on your level.

lol ameritards

desu I just calculated that I spend less in paying others to dust it than actually do it myself
also I'm from yurop faget

Don't build around carpet.

Set things down on anti static wrap if you need to set them down

(passable)Cable management comes naturally if you have a non shit case.

It's very easy, the onyl hard part for me was setting my Hyper 212 EVO because my bad motor skills give me Parkinsons lite pretty much.

Fucking thermal paste bubbles.

>7700k
>hyper 212 evo
>k

every fucking time

You can build around carpet. You can set parts down on things other than antistatic bags. Just ground yourself on the case and stop worrying about things that were a problem decades ago.

My dude there's only one scary part of the whole process and that's locking the CPU.

If you line up the triangle or whatever is on the corner and it drops in properly, it won't break when you push that lever down.

Op here, I don't plan on OCing for a year or until I get a watercooler, is the 212 EVO enough to keep it cool(ish) at stock speed and voltage?

It'll keep it cool but you'll still look like a fool who doesn't know how to pick appropriate parts.

I blame logical increment

give yourself plenty of open space, in case you drop a screw it will stand out. Take your time, lay it all out, if you go to touch a component, touch metal on your case first to discharge any static, be gentle when putting in the cpu, have patience with that cooler install as well, those can be annoying. Best advice has been said, watch videos of someone doing it, learn the flow and take your time.

you can oc a little on a 212 evo, just riskier, wouldn't try it until you have liquid cooling. stock speeds you'll be absolutely fine.

Quit being a retarded child.

Careful with setting stuff on antistatic bags, the bags they send you protect the contents, the outside of the bag can hold static though

Thank you all, I will try to build it myself and stop being a bitch

buy a old piece of shit computer and tear it down and rebuild it

Remember to put the standoff screws on your case or you'll fry your shit

Its not hard user, have confidence.
The horror stories are rare in reality and most stuff can withstand more ill-treatment than is suggested.

Main thing is to actually look at the motherboard manual. Possibly also the case one as they sometimes have clips and releases that aren't 100% obvious if you don't do this kind of thing often.

Also watch a few videos about the best way to apply thermal paste (again, this is only ever a problem to people who don't think about it).

Be methodical, get a clear work area (kitchen table) and look after small screws and fittings. Just be mindful when snapping stuff together - look at what you are doing and gently increase to required force.

People generally fuck up by not reading the instructions and trying to rush.

it's a meme for people who post photos of their "rigs" in threads
