How to Build a Computer

To build a computer, start by grounding yourself with an antistatic wrist-strap cable to prevent electrostatic discharge. Next, open the case and install the power supply near the top of the case. Then, attach the processor and RAM to the motherboard, hook it up to the power supply, and attach the heat sink. Once the standoffs are installed, place the motherboard in the case, push it up against the backplate, and secure it with screws.
