I'm guilty. I am one of those PC enthusiasts that everyone knows how to build a PC. Everyone has done it before, and all you need from the tech community is the recommendation for parts, right? Turns out that isn't the case at all, and as more and more gamers and users come into our community, they are overwhelmed and often under served. It's time to fix that.

This cropped up for me personally when my nephew asked me about getting him a computer. At just 14 years old, he had never built a PC, watched a PC be constructed - nothing of that sort. Even though his uncle had built computers nearly every week for a decade or more, he had little to no background on what the process was like. I decided that this was perfect opportunity to teach him and create a useful resource for the community at large to help empower another generation to adopt the DIY mindset.

I decided to start with three specific goals:

Part 1 - Introduce the array of PC components, what the function of each is and why we picked the specific hardware we did.

Part 2 - Show him the process of actual construction from CPU install to cable routing

Part 3 - Walk through the installation of Windows and get him setup with Steam and the idea of modern PC gaming.
