first time building a PC..

[hsk5025]

recently, i've been interested in building my own computer. i've seen many posts about recommendations of certain computer parts, and i always wondered why people would build their own computer. i realized that joy of accomplishment by building a computer would be fun activity, or hobby =)

even though it's my first time and stuff, i have confidence in myself that if i put my heart into it, i can achieve anything.. enough about that

can someone give me a link to "how to build a computer" with some visual pictures?

i like the how to build computer guide on this site but it absolutely has no pictures..

i've googled some how to build a computer sites but their sites seem alittle unprofessional like someone just made it in one day or so...and i just can't trust them,, i guess it's because it's my first time building one and i don't wanna mess it up.. even though, most likely, first timers will make mistakes

anyway, help anyone?

The PCMech "Build Your own PC" CD that you can buy has pictures on it.

Your first decision needs to be what you want to use your PC for and if you want to use Intel or AMD.
There are some sites with Pictures but there are some variants with differnt brands CPU's and Mobo's.

i know that i wanna use AMD.

btw, flanzig1, it costs money.. i am sure there's a great site on this topic for free.
