everything is almost well done!

After watching the video , I still do not quite understand some of the parts , so I called over my "IT" friend to help.. What are friends for? hahahax

They took about 30minutes to assemble the PC , after assembling they installed the OS , drivers. I learnt from them that almost all hardwares in the PC needs a driver to talk to the OS to make them work properly

Everything was up and running finally , I will be mointering the performance for the next few weeks , if any corkup I will call them up again.. ( touch wood )

As I do not know how to fix up the parts , i googled " steps to build a PC " and I got many results many of them are either word based or picture based making me hard to understand
I did a search in youtube and found this



While following closely to the video , i build it within 45minutes of my free time
