Hey everyone welcome back to Da Normal Blog! In this blog, I’m going to talk about the top 5 things that a lot of people mess up on when building a computer.
Wrong type of cpu socket
A lot of people order there full computer setup with all the things they need but they dont realize that there are diffrent sockets on cpus. Intel uses lga while AMD use “am”. For example the newest socket for Amd is Am4. For intel is lga 1200. When your are buying a motherboard make sure to match the right cpu with the right socket.
2. 
Wrong type of ram
Another thing tha people do wrong is ordering the wrong kind of ram. There is ddr, ddr2, ddr3,ddr4, and soon coming ddr5. These are basically the socket type but a little bit more then that. So when you are buying a motherboard make sure it matches the motherboard ram type.
3.
Instaling thermal paste on to a cpu
I have seen lots of people put thermal paste on to cpu’s wrong a lot. I have seen people do it under the cpu, on the socket and putting a huge amount of it on. What you are supposed to do is put a small dot of it on the middle of the cpu. Then put the cpu cooler on.
4. Wrong motherboard form factor
There have been people out there that dont realize that theres diffrent form factors of cases and motherboards, and have gotten incompatible cases or motherboards. There are many diffrent form factors of motherboards and case, such as. (Biggest) Hptx, ssi eeb, xl-atx, atx, e- atx, micro atx, mini itx, Nana itx, pico- itx. (smallest) You must make sure that the type of motherboard will fit in the case.
5. Not having an os
I have made this mistake before when building a computer. I never got windows 10, and so I thought something was wrong with my 4tb hdd so I opend it up and screwed it. Make sure never to open up a hdd, and make sure to buy an os or the computer is usless to you.

Hey everyone welcome back to Da Normal Blog! Today I’m going to help you build your own gaming computer, let’s get right into it.
Cpu: A Central Processing Unit, or CPU, is a piece of hardware that enables your computer to interact with all of the applications and programs installed. A CPU takes the program’s instructions and creates the output that you use with when your computer is on.
Ram: Computer random access memory (RAM) is one of the most important components in determining your system’s performance. RAM gives applications a place to store and access data in a short time. It stores the information your computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly or faster then when you are first opening it.
Motherboard: A motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in a computer. The motherboard is the part that holds all the parts or has all the wires going into.
SSD or HDD: SSDs or HDDs work alongside your system’s memory and processor to access and use data. It also holds all of your data, and has your os on it.
Os: Operating system (OS), program that manages a computer’s resources, especially the allocation of those resources among other programs. (Windows 10, Mac, Linux)
Atx Case: An ATX computer case is a PC case that complies with the ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) computer tower specifications. It holds all your parts and keeps everything cool.
Power supply: Specifically, a power supply converts the alternating high voltage current (AC) into direct current (DC), and they also regulate the DC output voltage to the fine tolerances required for modern computing components.
Heat sink: 
GPU: The graphics processing unit (GPU), also called graphics card or video card, is a specialized electronic circuit that accelerates the creation and rendering of images, video, and animations. It performs fast math calculations while freeing the CPU to perform other tasks. Basically the better the Gpu the better smoothness and graphics for games
