Guide To Computer Builds | Thread profile

So lately, especially since it's been summer, I've noticed a lot of people asking for help with their computer builds. Often times, the same questions are asked over and over again (if you frequently help people in Hardware Hangout with their computer builds you would know what I mean). As well, I also so see a lot of people not providing enough information in order for others to be able...

Thanks

Man those pictures are hilarious! Thanks for the guide SHiFT. A post like this has been badly needed. That power supply link you gave was probably on the best reviews/whatever I've ever read. If only more people believed that you don't need 750W power supplies for basic setups...

No problem Yeah the JonnyGURU and Hardware Secrets reviews are good reads for sure. Hopefully less people start grabbing those generic PSU's as well.

I vote to Pin this thread! As you've already said, these same questions come up constantly. But people have to actually use it in order for it to be effective. I don't mind answering questions, but answering the same questions over and over again is just too much sometimes. P.S. I love those sketches.

Thanks guys. Yeah gwai lo made some pretty awesome sketches Just got a little repetitive answering all the generic questions related to everyone making "help me with my computer build" threads. Hope this will save some time (assuming people actually take a look at it) so we can get right down to the knitty gritty details of each specific computer build.

I hope a Mod will pin or sticky this thread. It might reduce the total number of posts, but in the end it will produce quality posts (in this section at least) which will be more helpful to the person asking for suggestions. Once we get the general details (as listed in post #1) we can as -SHiFT- said "get down to the knitty gritty" of the specific details. Not to take credit away from ...
