Installation
You might be asking yourself, "okay, great- I have all the parts, now what?" Super scientific studies have shown that YouTube is a great outlet for instructional videos (and cats). In an effort to prevent you from getting lost in the interwebs, we have provided you with some great resources that will give you detailed, step-by-step instructions for the entire installation process.
Oops, how did that get there? This is a video of Lucas playing with legos. Building a PC is similar to building with legos in that you are simply connecting things to other things. It’s a little more detailed than that but with a little practice, even Lucas can do it!
Here is a video of Linus from LinusTechTips. He demonstrates the entire step-by-step installation process. It’s so easy, even Lucas can do it!
Be sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel. Linus provides a wealth of knowledge on everything related to PC.
This is another great resource you can check out on reddit called Glorious PC Master Race. Here you will find news, guides, screenshots and the usual cordial banter one would find on a subreddit. Click the image to the right to learn more.
Forget everything you thought you knew about PC gaming. It's 2015 and PC gaming has never been this inexpensive, easy to get into, free of restriction, or more widespread than it is today. Largely to thank for this massive PC growth, consoles have never been worse than they are today and a lot of people are switching.
Yes, this is the first time in gaming history where PCs have surpassed consoles in every conceivable way for less money (however, continue to sell due to dishonest marketing and traditional beliefs... sorta like $300 HDMI cords, Beats, and multi-blade razors). This following page will explain (in detail) how and why the PC is the unquestionably and objectively superior choice (cheaper, faster, more & better games) compared to underpowered and industry-harming PS4 and XBox One "PC imitators". It's also non-linear and can be read in any order that you prefer. This is a very PC-oriented community, so you may be expecting unjustified or illogical fanboyism... however, a large driving force behind the PC movement is because of what it offers; not because of what it is, that would be choice-supportive bias.
The past five years of surging growth, competition, and innovation in the industry have improved the PC in almost every regard, largely due to the mobile hardware and efficiency revolution, as well as things like Steam, Humble Bundle, and Good Old Games. PC gaming is now cheaper than ever, and console gaming continues to get more and more expensive as the PlayStation & XBox divisions continue to push prices (and their own business operation costs) higher every year. Reading this guide will cost you exactly $0, whereas, in comparison, buying a console and paying for all the extended costs of everything it requires could easily exceed $2,000 in just a few years (not to mention, consoles offer a considerably worse gaming experience)!
