"From Components to Boot-Up: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Own Custom PC"
Building a custom PC from scratch can be a fun and rewarding experience. It allows you to have complete control over the components and performance of your system. In this comprehensive guide, we will go through the step-by-step process of building a custom PC from scratch.
Step 1: Determine Your Needs
Before you start buying parts for your custom PC, you need to determine your needs. What will be the primary use of your PC? Will it be for gaming, video editing, or office work? The purpose of your PC will determine the components you will need.
Step 2: Choose Your Components
Once you have determined your needs, you can start selecting the components for your custom PC. Here is a list of the main components you will need:
1. CPU (Central Processing Unit)
2. Motherboard
3. RAM (Random Access Memory)
4. Storage (SSD or HDD)
5. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
6. Power Supply Unit (PSU)
7. Case
When choosing your components, you should consider the following factors:
1. Compatibility: Ensure that all the components you choose are compatible with each other. Check the specifications of each component before purchasing.
2. Budget: Determine your budget before buying the components. You don't want to overspend on a component that won't significantly improve your PC's performance.
3. Performance: Choose components that will meet your needs. For example, if you plan on gaming, you will need a high-performance GPU.
4. Brand: Choose reputable brands when buying your components. This ensures that you get high-quality components that will last.
Step 3: Build Your Custom PC
Once you have all the components, it's time to start building your custom PC. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Install the CPU: Open the CPU socket on the motherboard and gently place the CPU in the socket. Make sure the CPU is aligned with the socket, and then close the socket's lever.
2. Install the CPU cooler: Apply thermal paste to the CPU, and then install the CPU cooler. The CPU cooler will keep your CPU cool and prevent it from overheating.
3. Install the RAM: Insert the RAM modules into the RAM slots on the motherboard. Make sure they click into place, and then close the clips to secure them.
4. Install the storage: Install the SSD or HDD into the storage bay in the case. Connect the SATA data and power cables to the storage device and the motherboard.
5. Install the GPU: Insert the GPU into the PCIe slot on the motherboard. Make sure it clicks into place and then secure it with screws.
6. Install the PSU: Mount the PSU in the PSU bay in the case. Connect the necessary cables to the motherboard, GPU, and storage devices.
7. Connect the case fans: Connect the case fans to the motherboard or PSU, depending on the type of fan.
8. Connect the case cables: Connect the case cables to the motherboard. These include the power button, reset button, USB ports, and audio jacks.
9. Close the case: Close the case and screw it shut.
Step 4: Install the Operating System
Once you have built your custom PC, it's time to install the operating system. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Insert the installation media: Insert the installation media (USB or DVD) into your PC.
2. Boot from the installation media: Restart your PC and press the key to enter the BIOS. Change the boot order to boot from the installation media.
3. Install the operating system: Follow the prompts to install the operating system. You may need to enter a product key during the installation process.
4. Install drivers: Once the operating system is installed, you will need to install drivers for your components.

From Job to Prison: Revenge, Sacrifice, and Ending
The story begins by showing a bald and strong man named Bradley, who is a car mechanic by profession. As usual, Bradley reaches the garage with a broken car, but after arriving there, he sees that the garage owner is anxiously waiting only for him, which makes him a little surprised. Then the garage owner calls him into his office. Hearing this, Bradley understands that he is about to be fired from his job, and exactly that happens. The owner tells him that these days the garage is going through a financial crisis, and that is why he is being forced to fire some workers. But this is only an excuse, because Bradley is a hard-tempered man, and the owner wants to remove him and hire someone who flatters him. Now since Bradley is a tough man, he does not argue with the owner. He goes to the locker room, takes out his belongings, takes his car, and silently leaves for home. And yes, friends, this is where the downfall of Bradley’s life begins, which continues straight until the end of the story and ends there. Anyway, Bradley stops his car in front of his house, and at the same time he sees that his wife Lauren is sitting in her car, talking to someone on the phone. Bradley becomes suspicious of her. To know the truth, he keeps watching her carefully for some time. When he becomes sure, he immediately goes to Lauren and tells her to open the car door. His wife says, “You came back from work very early today.” At the same moment, Bradley notices marks of someone else’s lips on her neck and says to Lauren, “Give me your phone.” But Lauren refuses to give the phone, because of which Bradley forcefully snatches the phone from her, and his suspicion turns out to be correct. She is talking on the phone with another man. In anger, Bradley tells Lauren to go inside the house. Lauren says, “At least listen to me.” Bradley says, “I said go inside the house.” Then Lauren silently goes inside the house. Now, he had already been fired from his job a little while ago, and now his wife’s affair, because of which he had become even more disturbed, so he starts taking out all his anger on Lauren’s car. How? You can see that yourself. Yes, he is so angry that he does not even realize that his hands have been badly injured. After that, he calms himself down and goes inside the house and questions Lauren about how many days she has been with the other man. Lauren tells him everything, that for the past three months she had been having an affair with someone else. Actually, Bradley’s wife had an abortion a few days earlier, because of which she used to remain sad, and Bradley often stayed busy with his work. Because of this, Lauren felt lonely and very depressed at home, and to fill this emptiness, she had to take support from another man. Hearing these things, Bradley realizes that he should have given time to Lauren. He apologizes to Lauren for this and says that from today, from right now, they will both start a new life. Lauren agrees. After that, Bradley tells Lauren that he has been fired from his job and now he will work for a man named Gil, who is a drug lord. As soon as she hears Gil’s name, Lauren clearly refuses and says, “You yourself said that you would never work with Gil.” Bradley says, “Yes, but in such circumstances, we cannot live like a prosperous family. To run a family, money is needed, and at this time I have no other option.” He also assures Lauren that he will do this work very carefully.
