Testimonials

"I watched the videos a while ago, and I must say, they taught me EVERYTHING I needed to know about assembling a computer. Before watching, I had no idea about anything, but after watching them all, I feel confident assembling my own computer. As if this wasn't enough, the customer service is AMAZING. No where on the Internet have I ever found assistance as quick and as helpful as here. All my questions were answered way faster than I would have ever thought. I highly recommend this website to anyone interested in building their own computer!" Cougarelite

Build your own Computer Recommended Parts Lists

We've been teaching people how to build computers for 6 years.  Our goal is to educate you to the point where you can choose your own parts list to build your own computer from scratch.  This method has worked for thousands of customers.  However we are often asked for a place to start. Some recommended parts.  Components we would use to build a PC today.  

Keep in mind that this is just a starting point.  We encourage you to choose different parts.  The video lessons will give you the knowledge you need to make yourself a truely custom computer.

You can use an AMD CPU and motherboard as well.  Again, this is only a starting point for creating your parts list.
