how do you go about building a pc im intrigued?

Well 1st off you will need the case and motherboard, then mount the board inside the case.

Sure there will be vids on youtube on how to do this

Then everything practically only goes in 1 way round, the CPU orientation also with some thermal paste between the chip an heat sink, thats pratically it.

dont make the mistake i made. i build myself a beast and put system fans all over the place just for safe keeping. the humming does get annoying
