![]() When paired with a CPU that offers integrated graphics you do not need a discrete graphics card. GPU / Graphics Card – Often referred to as a video card. For many modern generation motherboards they offer integrated display output connections ( such as HDMI, Displayport, VGA or DVI ).CPU cooling solution – Air cooling or water cooling ( closed loop or custom loop ).As a minimum requirement you only need a single DIMM ( memory module ) but of course you ideally as almost all platforms now have superior performance with memory kits of 2 or 4 DIMMs you want to have a corresponding kit of memory. RAM / DRAM – Often referred to as memory.When deciding on your board along with your chassis form factor will be a key part of the specification for those products as they must support each other and also directly affect the compatibility of other components such as the size of your cooling solution or the size of your graphics card. There are currently six ( 6 ) common motherboard form factors ( dimensions ) keep in mind that the form factor selection will also influence the level of expansion or “upgradability” that your board offers. Modern generation motherboards also integrate audio & LAN / NIC ( network ) as such you do not need to worry about adding in these items unless you want superior features, functionality or performance. The three main items of the board are its socket, the chipset and the memory type it supports. Motherboard – This is the foundation of your PC and all the other components will connect to it.These include some items not traditionally noted but in reality are required to be able to have a full functioning system that you can interact with and very its functionality. ![]() As such I have detailed a checklist of the required items you will need when building a PC. Without hardware ( PC components ) you are not going to be able to build anything. ![]() ![]() Even better is we have setup a checklist creation system which will allow you to save the checklist as a separate file to print or have as reference on a digital device whether it be your tablet or smartphone.Īt the core of every system fundamentally is hardware. Whether you are seasoned veteran or a first time builder this build a PC checklist is going to be a great resource at helping you ensure you have all things covered when it comes to building your PC. Here at PCDIY we are also interested in figuring out ways to provide DIYers with the information and insights into making things easier, clearer and ultimately better when it comes to the DIY experience. There has been a trend in looking at efficiency across a wide range of industries as of late with impressive analytics to show that preparation and checklists can help to ensure superior consistency, accuracy and minimize miscues and mistakes. ![]()
