How to build pc?
Clannad_92:
hey all...
im planning on building my own pc (budget dunno) for gaming (at least able to play nfs hp2010)...
a decent pc; consist of core 2 duo/quad, nvidia graphic card, and others in planning...and will using this casing...
so the question is, how to know if a component is compatible with other?
so far, i only know how to check the compatibility of a processor and a motherboard (im serious)...
if able, give some suggestion on the component recommended such as processor, graphic card, power supply and others as well...

what kind of "building a pc?"
do you need suggestions on which part? or do you need instructions on how to plug the parts together? or maybe both?
edit: ok rereading OP gives me the idea of you need both. well to start off, just follow the motherboard's manual, and get an extension cord with a built in fuse and a switch just in case you felt like blowing up the breaker.
first of all, you're saying its gaming then invest lots on GPU but tell us what resolution and/or settings you'll be playing on. still, over spending isn't really a good thing, its all for e-pen when you reach a certain margin.
for the parts, for now, stay away from HDDs, they're 2-3times more expensive than 2months ago, if you're lucky enough you could still find some reasonably priced HDDs.
for the mobo and processor, decide which rig you want, AMD or Intel. WAIT, thats an intel old LGA775.
you'll have to thoroughly research if your choice wasn't its really that bad.
you're after a brandnew rig right? you outa start with either a athlon OR a SNB G620 <--- this rivals that of an E7800.
an i5-2300 will eat a Q9650 alive, yes im serious.
for the GPU, one goooood advantage of wanting an Nvidia over Radeon is that Nvidia has CUDA and Physx, i dont even know what Radeon has advantage of over Nvidia... Nvidia seems to have better drivers too.
the rest is up to your taste, references and reviews, notably brands where their products has less return rates are a priority.
for the how-to-plug-them-together.
(click to show/hide)*ahem* these goes here, and those goes there, carefully press them together and... voala! you got a lego castle! Jk Jk XD
seriously, its all in the manual.

no...already know...
well, ive decided to go with;
intel: core 2 duo/quad(my view: cheaper than core i family)
gc: nvidia(1gb or 2gb)
power supply: ?(need suggestion)
mobo: maybe a good one(also need suggestion)
following the above, i still dunno how much is my budget will be...and the reason i said at least able to play nfs HP2010 is because my little brother...
kitamesume:
GPU, beware, 2GB is a gimmic by those shitty marketeers. you'll only need one on insane resolutions which i doubt you can afford.

you'll have to ditch the thought of getting a brandnew quadcore LGA775, unless you're saying you could get one for 100$ then sure i think it'll be worth it then.
reason why it isnt worth it anymore, http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/53?vs=289.
omgosh! its an i3 and its eating core2quads! lewls, oh and they start at 125$.
ive made up a simple chart for GPUs as to where the sweet spots for their resolutions on high settings no AA/AF while getting decent FPS.
HD6450/220GT = 1280x720 || HD6670/250GT = 1360x768 || HD6770/460GT/GT550Ti = 1680x1050 || HD6870/GT560Ti = 1920x1080
Edit: i'm scratching my head right now, cant seem to find any type of brandnew Core2Quads anywhere...
