Hi
Can anyone direct me to a really good detailed guide, preferably with lots of pictures or better yet a video, on how to put together a custom PC.
My friend gave me a list of components to buy and all have arrived, but I am not the best (quite bad) with hardware.

Here is the list of components i bought just in case that helps:

Thanks

your motherboard manual will tell you everything you need to know in terms of plugging things in. highly recommend to use an anti static wristband

You would already know how to plug in your keyboard and monitor i assume.
