It's actually not that hard. You just have to pay attention to what the directions say. Usually, you only need the directions from the motherboard's box.<br>Basic requirements:<ul><li>Processor</li><li>Motherboard</li><li>Video card</li><li>Case</li><li>Power Supply</li><li>Memory</li><li>Monitor</li><li>Speakers</li><li>Sound Card</li><li>CPU Heatsink&Fan</li></ul>In some cases, the vid card and sound cards are integrated into the mobo and/or processor. That's okay with the sound card, but NEVER GET ANYTHING WITH THE VID CARD BEING INTEGRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Integrated vid cards are teh suck.<br><br>If you want a gaming system, you'll need at least $1000 to get a system good enough to play today's games. Hit me up on PM if you want my input on a gaming system.
