The Building

I have never built a PC before and my best friend @supercush had recently built his, so we went at mine together :).

Was great fun building it and now using the PC is the best feeling ever knowing i've earned it through Steem. I'm thinking I need to get the Steemit logo made into a sticker to stick on the case!!!

So we started of with getting the CPU on the Mobo, this was the scariest part for me as the CPU is alot of money to replace!!

Next we had to get the CPU heat sink on and the clamp on this thing was a challenge!!

It was now time to get the motherboard into the case.

Once the MOBO was in it was time to install the corsair RAM sticks.

So the HDD and SSD were in and time to start getting the wires sorted, looks messy!!
