First build - please recommend videos to watch?

[Guest]

I'm looking for the best "how-to" build videos. Also, a written guide would be great. I am searching here and on youtube - I have the day off and need to do it today

Im on youtube watching build videos. so far they are not great. if you have a fav please let me know!

Antec 900
Xygmatek 1283GIGA GA-EP45-UD3R
Intel E8500 ($149 at Micro Center!!!)
Power Supply: Corsair 750W
EVGA nVidia 9500GT 1gb for still photography work.
RAM: Mushkin 2 x 2gb RAM 1066 5-4-4-12
XP Pro SP3 for my ancient legacy software lol

A box full of WD Black 640gb HDD 32mb cache!

I still need two DVD burners - please recommend. I do NOT need lightscribe but it would be okay. Also I do NOT need double-sided NOR blue-ray.

Thanks,
Paul

In terms of videos/guides, I just started by using google. Look for any sort of step by step guides and read them all. You'll find once you start building that everything is pretty logical and makes good sense.

^^ decent video.

The biggest tip I can give is to thoroughly READ YOUR MOTHERBOARD MANUAL BEFORE YOU START. If you need more help, feel free to ask w/ specifics.

To add to the list there is also this video:

A 10 Minute Beginner's Guide to Computer Building

That video is pretty old but you should get the main just of it as technology hasn't advanced that much from the video.

btw, dont think you dont need double sided dvds. lots of things use it that you wouldnt imagine, so get it just to be safe


Note: correct me if i'm thinking about dual layer rather than double sided(if they're different at all)
