How to Build a ComputerRequirements:Tools - As far as the tools needed to build a custom gaming computer you won't need very many. The most basic one that will cover 99% of assembling your computer together is your generic Phillips-head screwdriver. Odds are you will probably drop a screw or two while trying to screw in the motherboard so a magnetic screwdriver is optimal. Even though the magnetism on a screwdriver is very small, it is recommended to not place the magnetic screwdriver near the hard drive, which we will go into greater depth with installing the hard drive later in this guide. Other than that, a small flash light will make it 100x easier to see inside your computer case while assembling.Computer Parts Required:·PC Case·Motherboard ·CPU/Processor ·CPU/Processor Fan ·Thermal Compound/Silver Paste ·Power Supply ·Hard Drive ·CD/DvD-ROM Drive ·Memory Modules/Sticks ·Video Card ·Operating System(Windows/Linux) Check out the gaming computer part selection page to help you choose which computer parts are right for you. Upon purchasing these parts, most items will come in a Static Proof Bag, these bags are to protect your computer parts from static electricity that would fry it, which we will cover later. You want to leave your parts in this bag until you are ready to put them inside your computer, and even then don't set your computer parts on the carpet/table, keep them on top of these bags. Once you have acquired all of these items, you are ready to start building your gaming computer. The first step is to install your power supply, click the link in the top left corner of the website or on the link ahead.

How to Build a Computer

Go to the computer part selection page of this website and you will need to build the Moderate Office/Gaming PC build with the exception of needing this video card instead of the one listed for the moderate computer build. The reason for the graphics card upgrade is due to the fact that you will be streaming the videos on a 60" display, which if you want the quality to be decent will need the better graphics card. This particular graphics card will also allow you to use the HDMI output if your TV does not have DVI-D (which is the output of most graphics cards).
Let me know if you have anymore questions :)
The Antec 1200 and the EVGA motherboard both come with manuals that tell you what wire is what. Then you just need to match them, for example the antec 1200 has a HDD light, which plugs into the HDD activity light on the motherboard (in the bottom right hand corner). Also make sure to match the polarities of the wires to the polarity of the motherboard (IE negative to negative)
I've been following the site and guides and it's proven to be VERY helpful!
I'm just having trouble wiring everything together.
Is it possible for you to do a wiring guide using the antec 1200 case, the corsair tx750 PSU and the EVGA x58 mobo?
Thanks!
failures to name a few Seagate,and Hitachi. I would appreciate a recommendation regarding a Hard Drive purchase. I did checkout Intel 320 Series
