is it really all that hard to put together a pc? im affraid that when my comp shipps that i will not be able to put it together and/or mostly likely break something important...do u guys think i could do it?:D
 
yes you can do it. its not hard. i felt the same way but when i did it, it was like legos. and since parts only go one way its very hard to mess something up.

just make sure to touch the case so you wont ruin any parts with static and build at a place with lots of space so that you can keep track of things.

touch th case???...how often...couple seconds or more?....also would that work to maybe just wear rubber gloves (static doesnt go through rubber right?)

its fine to use your bare hands. its actaully better becuase you have more controll that having gloves on. just touch the case before you touch a part and install it.
 
Yep, good luck...Every once in a while you may run into a problem, but just post on here, and you should get it straightened out. Have fun.
 
Heh, yeah, and dont get too nervous cause then your hands get sweaty and can short something :P

The hardest part I found was the front case wires. When your putting thr HSF in dont be afraid to push really hard. I could have sworn I was going to break it but it all worked out... or at least so far :P
 
Well....You dont wanna force anything. But with AMD HSF especially, you kinda have to push. Intel is just weird with HSF's. You kind of have to push hard, butit feels like it isnt really in.
