Step 1: Gather Components

Hussien Almelhem begins by collecting all the necessary components for building a PC. This includes the central processing unit (CPU), motherboard, RAM, storage devices, power supply, graphics card (if needed), and all the necessary cables and connectors.

Step 2: Prepare a Clean Workspace

Before starting the assembly, Hussien ensures he has a clean and well-organized workspace. A clutter-free area reduces the risk of losing small components and makes it easier to work efficiently.

Step 3: Install the CPU

With utmost care, Hussien installs the CPU into the motherboard's CPU socket. He aligns the notches correctly and securely locks them in place, ensuring proper contact with the motherboard.

Step 4: Add RAM Modules

Next, Hussien installs the RAM modules into the motherboard's memory slots. He presses them firmly until they click into place, verifying that they are correctly seated.

Step 5: Attach the Motherboard to the Case

Hussien carefully places the motherboard into the computer case, aligning it with the standoffs. He secures the motherboard in place using screws to prevent any movement.

Step 6: Connect the Power Supply

Hussien connects the power supply to the motherboard, ensuring that all necessary power cables are properly connected. He double-checks that the CPU and motherboard have the required power connections.

Step 7: Install Storage Devices

Hussien installs the storage devices, which can include SSDs or HDDs, into the appropriate drive bays in the case. He connects the data and power cables to each drive.

Step 8: Insert Graphics Card

If a dedicated graphics card is required, Hussien carefully inserts it into the appropriate PCIe slot on the motherboard. He secures it in place with screws and ensures it is properly seated.

Step 9: Connect Front Panel Cables

Hussien connects the front panel cables, including the power switch, reset switch, USB ports, and audio jacks, to the motherboard as per the motherboard's manual.

Step 10: Check Connections and Cable Management

Before powering up the PC, Hussien meticulously inspects all connections to make sure everything is secure. He also tidies up the cables inside the case to ensure optimal airflow and aesthetics.

Step 11: Power On and Test

With everything in place, Hussien powers on the PC and checks for any issues during the POST (Power-On Self-Test). He enters the BIOS to verify that all components are recognized and configured correctly.

Step 12: Install Operating System and Drivers

Once the PC successfully passes the POST, Hussien proceeds to install the operating system and necessary drivers. He ensures that the system is fully functional and ready for use.

Hussien Almelhem takes pride in his meticulous approach to building PCs, emphasizing precision, care, and attention to detail at every step. Building a PC is not just a task; it's a craft that results in a finely tuned and functional piece of technology.
