How to Build a Pc

And I’m about to walk you through how to build a computer
Now, despite what you might believe about building a PC
Well, you see, it’s really flipping easy
It’s kinda like a puzzle where you put the different bits together
There’s only certain places that the kit will fit the setup
And I’m gonna take you through it at a comfortable pace
So let’s cut to the chase, you open up the case
And have a look inside, that’s what the detachable cover’s for
That panel stuck just to the back and up will store the motherboard
Your stuff will all link up to that but as I talk there’s bugger all
Because of course we’ve got it all spread in a muddle on the floor
Now luckily, this sequence is pretty easy to do
First thing you’re gonna need to do is seat the CPU
Once you’re sure there’s no static and everything’s unboxed
You can check your motherboard’s processor socket’s unlocked
Align the triangles on processor and socket
Then slowly lower it into the slot and lock it, got it
Now you’ll place the thermal paste where the heat sink sits
Gotta get it right first time, you can’t rethink it
Squeeze a bit the size of a pea right in between
Then line up the heat sink with the screws on the side to complete
Apply some low pressure right on the processor
And tighten the screws without any ooze, no stress, huh?
Now, you heat sink’s attached to a cool fan
Connect that to the motherboard and that bit’s just gone all to plan
As a reward here’s something straightforward: installing RAM
Just pop 'em in the slots until the lock, we' rolling now
Now it’s time to go back to the tower from prior
Look in the back, attach, and then patch in the power supply here
Now, once you’ve screwed it in, it’s best to check you’re able
To connect the bits you’re yet to place to their respective cables
But don’t plug 'em in yet 'cause just in case it’s best to wait
Until the next bit sits in place so you can check they fit the case
Come on, relax, it’s a precaution just avoiding heart attacks
Now screw in the motherboard with all the other parts attached
Then locate the ribbon named the «twenty four pin»
Bet you can guess why it’s called that even if you’ve just only walked in
That connects the motherboard and PSU
And if it doesn’t you’ll be surely seeing the issue
Next the CPU cable’s either eight or four pins
Like how you and your mates may or may not have foreskins
And unlike that unfortunate punchline I forced in
It’s of great importance to make sure that they all fit
So put in the cable to the case’s IO panel section
And any remaining wires that require manual attention
Then locate the bay your primary hard disk drive will sit in
Slide it in affix the power supply via SATA ribbons
Tighten the screws till the device is sitting snug and tight
Then redo the steps described for any secondary drive
Very nice, congratulations, parts of that were hard
It requires patience to come out without being battle scarred
Thankfully it’s rather painless to kit out the graphics card
Just clip it in the PCI lane and that’s your lot
Some require external power, some are self-reliant
Either way, it’s likely you’ll be fine without help required
Now if it still looks like the build was made by amateurs
Just wait until we deal with it with cable management
Tuck away the random ribbons down the bay beside the main array
And make them stay away from sight with cable ties, hooray
It’s time to power up your newly-made computer
Only to find it failed to boot up, that’s okay, it’s usual
If there’s no signs of life it could be time to troubleshoot it
Otherwise have fun and use your lovely new kit
