But while I was reading the manual I noticed that there were 3 pins the jumper plugged into. I looked at the motherboard and there were 3 pins still. It was at this point I realized it just slides onto the pins. I placed it on and it started right away. At this point I thought about the 3 hours I had just wasted because of this tiny piece of plastic.
I allowed it to reset and waited It rebooted, then nothing. Then rebooted again. Insert infinite regress boot cycle. I take a coffee break, hoping it magically fixes itself, but woe unto me, it does not. Now, I need a computer, and the only place I can think of to look for one is Micro Center. I brave the wild crowds and wander the store, and find myself in the prebuilt and monitor side, where I end up with a refurbished HP prebuilt.
Why not? Think again. I get it home, fire it up, and look inside. No way I can use this. Non-upgradeable without an immense amount of work and money. So back to the store I go, with the resolve to go with my original idea of finally building my very first pc, from the ground up. I've repaired and replaced plenty of components in my time but never built one from the start.
Got my prizes home, and cleared the desk. Open the motherboard, and find And after all that work, extra trips to and from my local Micro Center, and the headaches of building my first bespoke computer I now have a pretty decent rig, with a mid-range mobo, Ryzen 5 , and a ton of potential for the future for upgrades.
If you made it this far, thank you for reading this, and I am genuinely excited to have been able to do this. It's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and it feels great to accomplish this and bring it into reality. I had been trying for a solid 10 minutes to get the CPU to fit properly and finally thought I had done it. I had no idea what I had done and ended up going to a computer shop to find my mistake. And why it's never a good idea to hand straighten bent pins on one carelessly.
They just snapped right off. It was mine and my brother's first build and we finally found out that the pc was not plugged into the monitor.
This frustrated us because we just could not figure out what was wrong. Finally we found the unplugged cord and fixed the problem. On my way back to my place I had all the pc parts in the front passengers seat buckled up nice and safe. The motherboard box fell off the seat to the passengers side leg room area.
I reached down to grab it to make sure it was ok while driving, I veered right just a little bit, on my parents street not to the point of hitting the pavement, but one of the houses mailboxes was tilted a little bit too much into the street, to which my passengers side mirror hit it and ripped off and did damage all down the side of my car, around dollars in damage and a mailbox replacement lol. Also did a build for a friend at his house and was finishing up to make sure the Windows install went ok and it booted he was going to install the drivers, he got all the parts from microcenter the previous day , my reward was a 6 pack of beer.
Upon leaving and driving home, 2 cars in front of me braked really hard to try to avoid an animal but ran over an Opossum anyway, the person in front of me braked, I braked and avoided hitting the person, the person behind me rear-ended me at 45 mph and I poped in my seat lifting my foot off the brake manual car and physics made hit the person in front of me, completely totaling my car.
The car was a Dodge Dart 6-speed turbo edition. If I stayed to install the drivers on the pc I would have avoided the situation lol. Coming home from microcenter recently to try to get a new GPU with no luck, a pickup truck in front of me veered to avoid a piece of aluminum on the highway, he kicked it up and it hit the front of my car and glancing off the passangers side of the hood, did some damage and ended up get a flat tire yesterday because of it also lol.
Not begging to get this GPU, but I cant deny the facts lol, gl to all! Also did a build for a friend at his house and was finishing up, he got all the parts from microcenter the previous day , my reward was a 6 pack of beer.
The car was a Dodge Dart 6 speed turbo edition. Unfortunate loss but for PC building all worth it. If I were you I'd stop drinking and building. PC's or at least have a designated PC equipment handler on speed dial. Lol, didn't drink any of it until I got home of course because my car got totaled, the cop laughed at me because I was taking a 6 pack of unopened beer out of the trunk at least it opened before it got towed and the beer wasn't damaged lol.
Luckily everyone was ok in that ordeal, the person that rear-ended me, his car was totaled also. I have two specific horror stories. WHOA what speed cue doge meme. Extremely rare chipset, too, that if you ever lost the driver floppy, you were toast. I did. I plugged it in, booted up to a wonderful BSOD over and over again. Suddenly smelled smoke coming from the PC. Turns out the power supply was a puny w unit that barely took care of combo I had in there, and the video card drew just enough current and voltage through the MOBO that it wrecked my system.
Went to a computer show the next week, repurchased what was needed and had a new rig with a w PSU. I made sure every fitting was clamped and leak tested for 48 hours, just to be safe. Fast forward two weeks. I'm sitting at my desk looking at my bay mounted reservoir and realize that the water level has dropped. It's a dual bay reservoir and the pump is external, so volume in the reservoir is maxed out. It's got to be at least ml that has gone missing.
So I take a look inside and see nothing, no drips, no dye anywhere. I go to refill it, and that's when the leak reveals itself. The fitting, although screwed in, had somehow backed out of the upper waterblock. The water had been dripping onto the lower GPU and traveled along the hot backplate, then traversing back under the backplate, dropping onto the PCB. Tried to dry it all out, only to find the damage had already been done. Sure enough the regulators were cooked.
After ripping all of it out, redoing everything, I went to power it up, and another unseen leak above the PSU, this time, dripped right into it. Ever since then when it's maintenance time, I triple check everything, run a spare external PSU just for the pump before ever plugging anything in.
Although I loved building the PC, I don't know that I will ever do another watercooling build, especially when the efficiency level of components continues to improve. BTW, this rig is still my home daily rig. Looking forward to running a in it one day. Initially my build was great, worked fine. The nightmare comes in with the intervention on my son who was 2 and a half at the time.
This child poured an entire cup of juice in the top of my computer when I was at work. At first I tried cleaning everything off with alcohol. At first, it seemed like the only part that actually bought it was the motherboard, I thought I was lucky.
One hundred dollars and 3 hours of drive time to Microcenter is getting off easy considering the circumstances. After rebuilding my computer and reinstalling everything it booted up.
I was extremely happy, until 3 hours later when my GPU decided to pick up a heavier smoking habit than mine. Next paycheck, 3 more hours of driving and dollars later I get a new gpu.
At the time it wasn't a terrible thing, I was able to get a nice upgrade. Everything booted up fine it was working marvelously until i started to game. The over current protection started tripping. As anyone still reading this would guess it, another 3 hour drive to get a power supply. Fast forward a week and several memory errors later. I make another 3 hour drive because the RAM did not survive the juice unscathed.
Thanks to my son, i now realize it is possible to put more miles than dollars into a computer. Scammed out of Nvidia GeForce RTX Graphics Card on Ebay Since the middle of last summer in I have been slowly accumulating all the parts on my custom build list for my very first PC build, but the only remaining part I need would be the Graphics card that I've been searching for day in and day out! Now we all know the industry shortage on these graphics cards and the overwhelming demand causing a severe supply shortage, but what makes it worse is the bots and scalpers that have these take the limited supply of graphics cards only to resell for a much higher price leaving those who actually need the card without one!
While searching online for any available supply I figured I would entertain the idea of looking at some of the scalper prices on Ebay, but boy was that a mistake! Knowing how fast any available graphics cards are taken, I knew I needed to act fast if I wanted a shot at obtaining one!
The rush of adrenaline pushed me to taking out my card and buying it with no hesitation, but this is where it all went wrong Now I know this is entirely my fault for acting too quick without throughly looking through the details, but after searching for months I have grown anxious and jumped at the first opportunity! When I got home I moved the pc into my room, hooked everything up pressed the power button At first I thought it was a bad 24 pin eps connector, because when the evga power supply works it has a solid green light in the back.
And when that cable was unplugged the light came on instead of flashing, so I got one sent to me under warranty props to EVGA for great customer support the new cable arrived and still nothing. Over the next couple days me and my dad tried to figure out what was wrong. We narrowed it down to a grounding issue so one night I took the whole computer apart set the stuff on the box and it finally worked. The second story is one of my friends builds, I had been helping him pick out parts for the past several weeks.
And the last story. Just recently I helped a friend of mine with his first pc build, and I walked him through it over several video calls. There was some confusion in the end with his gpu. It was back in , I had bought a Dell computer for myself for gaming and such. First, a little background about me before I go on to give you better context of my experience. I'm completely deaf in my left ear and severely hard-of-hearing in my right ear, in which I wear a hearing aid.
I can speak on the phone and, most of the time, get by OK. Not this time I get a guy with a heavy accent and speaking somewhat broken English. For a guy like me with hearing loss, this was a bad omen. I kindly asked if I could be transferred to someone who could speak more clearly and, frankly, a more American cadence. I want to emphasize that this ISN'T prejudice at work but the laws of physics sound and my ears' inability to process sound.
As a result, much of what is said to me either sounds like underwater noise or different words I'm a walking homonym dictionary. Of course, the guy was doing his best to be kind and offer his help, despite my repeated and desperate pleas to transfer me. Side note, I had called a few times prior to this with similar results and gave up on trying to get lucky with someone who could speak better for me. Resigned, I explained my problem and, to his credit, did the best he could to walk me through diagnosing and solving.
We eventually resolved the problem, but after that, I swore I was never going to call tech support again and just learn it on my own.
I give a lot of credit to that guy for being patient with me, but my patience ran out several times. If only more businesses back then were more sensitive to needs like mine like they are now better late than never, I suppose , but then I'd never have gotten into PC building!
No frills build with mid to high tier hardware for the current generation. Great for those who just wants a plain but professional-looking box with white LED to illuminate its components. White LED strip to light up the interior. I've been planning to make Ryzen build for my sister this summer. The parts here would be for her school work and the gaming that she does.

I saw the thread and decided to just give myself a chance to build my own PC so that I can join my bf or rather disturb him whenever he's playing his games. It'd be so funny if I actually got one for myself after this haha.
Would love to try some VR and RayTracing. Hence, I present Tiny Whopper! This gaming rig would be able to play, stream, and do whatever you want on this PC. I would love to have something like this because I love to stream on twitch and play games. I have been playing games for almost 8 years nows. If i would get something like this, I would give my current pc which is not very good to my dad so he can play with me.
My dad is at home a lot because he struggles with mental health so it is hard for him to go back to work. I would love to play with my dad all day long and just have fun and laugh. Constantly pushing for the days that I will see this in my hands.
So I tend to stick with msi products as they have never let me down. I specifically went with intel bcause their oc capabilities have always been top notch while maintaining excellent temps and if im pushing for extra frames this would be perfect. The oc would be perfect along with the g-sync monitor I've chosen for games and graphic designing. The corsair case along with the Vengenace rgb ram and the water cooling aio have always been personal favorites, so in my dream build this case, ram, and aio is apart of it.
The red mouse and keyboard combo along with red extensions cables replicates my intense firey desire to acquire this build. I went specifically with nvme ssd memory they are lot faster and use less power than your typical ssd sata drives.
I chose an w power supply to make sure that I maintain the power I need when Overclocking, if needed. Anyways, enough about this. I hope you guys will find my entry one of the more intriguing choices and chose me to be your sponsor for this amazing prize and also in turn making a hard working man's dream come true.
Thank you for this opportunity Microcenter. Now I'm looking forward to upgrading the whole setup for my new place!
I mostly will be playing on my homebrew Minecraft server, which I created out of an old Optiplex machine I bought for like 30 bucks. Learned a lot about different parts and what all those specs mean. Hope everything ends up working well haha. I already have all parts except RTX I really want this build for my work and my hobby which is game and youtube. I will primarily be using this PC for school work and to game, and maybe start streaming or YouTube.
I chose the Ryzen 5 as it is a good 6 core processor for both gaming and streaming. The Nvidia GeForce RTX will go great with this cpu for gaming, as it will get good frame rates on medium to high settings on almost any game.
A watt power supply will be good enough for this build. Because I game in my room and the wifi box is in the living room downstairs, I decided to go with a bm motherboard with wifi.
The case I chose looks like it is good for air flow as it comes with four included fans, as well as a lot of USB ports and audio ports. Finally I chose to go with a 1tb ssd as there will be plenty of space for games, software, and other things. However, I was not able to purchase all the parts I wanted. Certain parts were out of stock. Other parts were out of my budget. This is my wish list and dream list of my custom built gaming computer.
The Corsair Power Supply Watt provides enough power to drive the gaming components. It is still the more affordable mass storage. Plus, it had the front panel and side panel tempered glass displaying everything. The Viewsonic XG 25 inch p hz offers the p experience I know however it increases the frame limit to frames per second potential. That means for games like PlanetSide 2 and MechWarrior Online that I will have the most possible frames in my online multiplayer games!
Antigraviator and Pacer formerly Formula Fusion are my favorite futuristic racing games. Thank you to all the Micro Center employees that helped me with my purchase.
