FAQs

What Tools Do You Need to Build a PC?

You need a Phillips head screwdriver to assemble the bulk of our PC build, alongside a smaller screwdriver for your M.2 installation. A pair of pliers is also handy for moving motherboard stand offs! A USB flash drive will come in handy for installing your operating system (e.g. Windows 11).

Do You Need to Buy Extra Cables to Connect Your Parts?

No. Your PC case will include all of the cables to connect the front-panel IO, while your PSU includes all of the power cables needed. If you are running excess hard drives or lots of RGB, you may need additional SATA data and RGB cables.

Does Windows Come Included with Your Parts?

No. Windows does not come included with your motherboard or any of your other components. You can purchase a license key from the Microsoft Store.

What Parts Do You Need to Build a PC?

A standard PC build is comprised of 9 parts, the CPU, CPU Cooler (which may come included with your processor), Motherboard, RAM, SSD, GPU, Case & PSU. Basic builds may use the integrated CPU graphics, removing the need for a dedicated GPU.
