1
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,150
With the processor and RAM fitted onto our motherboard, we are now ready to

2
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:20,570
secure the motherboard with the installed components into your PC casing.

3
00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:26,590
Now is the ideal time to start to consider cable management, both your casing

4
00:00:26,590 --> 00:00:30,610
and power supply will have a series of cables that need to be connected to the

5
00:00:30,610 --> 00:00:40,510
motherboard. Ensure that all cables are neatly fed through an appropriate

6
00:00:40,510 --> 00:00:44,770
opening in the casing, keeping the area for the motherboard clear of any

7
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:53,140
obstructions. Most modern cases will have a space behind the motherboard area

8
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,970
to aid with cable management.

9
00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:01,370
Clear a suitable space on your workstation and lay your casing on its side,

10
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,800
with the side panel removed and facing off.

11
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:15,800
Carefully place your motherboard inside the casing, lining up the screw holes

12
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:25,010
on the casing. To help with the lining up, it's may help to position your rear

13
00:01:25,010 --> 00:01:26,430
IO panel where needed.

14
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:36,510
Then screw the motherboard in place.

15
00:01:42,890 --> 00:01:47,140
Few upgrades add as much punch to your PC as adding a graphics card.

16
00:01:47,550 --> 00:01:54,300
Here we are using the GeForce GTX 780, but there are lots of different cards on

17
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:59,640
the market, ranging in price from under 200 pounds to well over 1000 pounds.

18
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,860
Determining which graphics card is suitable for your needs may take a little

19
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:09,210
research to ensure it offers what you require and is compatible with your

20
00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:15,450
system. Dedicated graphics processing unit is essential for many types of work,

21
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:24,090
such as 3D rendering, working with large resolution images and also for gaming

22
00:02:25,050 --> 00:02:30,000
and in most recent years, high end graphics processing units are also used in

23
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,470
the mining of cryptocurrency.

24
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:36,810
The card is installed into one of the long slots on your motherboard known as a

25
00:02:36,810 --> 00:02:38,450
PCI Express port.

26
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:44,130
If you're casing is new, you may need to remove the required back panel, simply

27
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:48,300
by locating and removing the correct screws, which can then be used to secure

28
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:49,590
the GPU in place.

29
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,630
Finally, it is time to connect the relevant cables to your motherboard, these

30
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:24,370
may include the USB 3.0 and the front panel audio ports that will

31
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:26,220
fit into these two sockets here.

32
00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:34,430
The rest will differ depending on your case and motherboard, so you may need to

33
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:37,180
refer to your instruction manuals.

34
00:03:37,180 --> 00:03:42,380
On our set up, we have additional connectors for more USB ports, the power

35
00:03:42,380 --> 00:03:44,810
button and reset buttons, plus more.

36
00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:51,330
Take your time following your motherboard and casing instruction manual to make

37
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,420
sure all your cables are connected.
