00:00 - Introduction
00:56 - The Importance of Space
01:40 - The Toolkit Basics
02:29 - How Tight is too Tight?
03:15 - Install a CPU the Right Way
04:07 - All about Thermal Paste
05:14 - RAM Installation
06:10 - Case Cables Explained
07:17 - Get your Power Right
08:33 - The Order of Building Your PC
09:34 - You Should Read The Manuals...
10:19 - Roundup


Even those of us who have built literally hundreds of PC's occasionally need a reminder of the best practices when building. From the correct tools, to the order of which we put things together... making the process easier and less stressful is always a winner in my books.

Of course, there are loads more hints and tips which could be shared too, so perhaps a part two of this video is in order? Let me know your thoughts!
