Question Building Tools Question

[xboy1999]

Hi everyone, I'm looking to build my first PC and was wondering if anyone had any recommendation of a tool kit I should get. Don't really have anything at the moment and just wanted to have them on hand for the future.

Was looking at these two:

Thanks!

All you need to build a pc is a simple philips screwdriver and some side cutters to cut zip ties.

Most components either clip-in or slot in without the need for any tools.
Mounting the cooler, fans, motherboard, power supply, certain drives, and the video card may need a screwdriver if thumbscrews arent used.

As to the phillips screwdriver, get a long shank one. I have a collection of phillip screwdrivers and find I use the long shank one 99% of the time. It has a 6" long shank.

For cutting off wire tie (Ty Rap) tails, you'll want a flush cut style like this to avoid leaving sharp edges on the cut that you will undoubtedly scratch yourself on later.

If you plan on doing more builds than just one or two, a set of metric nut drivers like this is great for screwing in/unscrewing standoffs. Some of the better cases come with a standoff socket you can use with a phillips screwriver. Hang on to them when you get one.
