Build Your Own Gaming PC: The step-by-step manual to building the ultimate computer Hardcover – November 15, 2015

Very few PC building books these days are up to date. Most are so old they still talk about using 56K modems. Do they even still sell those? But this book is GREAT!! Its up to date. The version I have is 2015. Talks about all the NEW CPU's and GPU's even the Titan video card is in this book and even talking about the new Titan Z I believe it was called. This is a great book for ppl that have never built a PC before. And great to help get a idea on how much you might be spending to build your own custom rig. If you go by what it says in this book you will deff build a sweet gaming PC that will have you smiling ear to ear and have your bank account nice n full n happy

This book assisted me by describing the necessary considerations when buying parts, and considering software for my computer. The unfortunate truth however, is that when it comes to physically assembling it, this book is not entirely helpful. For anyone who has built a computer before, this should be no issue, but for someone who has very little knowledge and is attempting learn with a companion, this book should not be your only consideration. I still recommend this book however, as it is currently up to date with it's description of modern technology and recommendations in terms of equipment. As a result, if this book were to accompany the manuals that you get with each part, it should be of assistance. I intend to continue to reference it when I add on to my current computer, as there are descriptions of certain operations in regards to certain hardware.

Thank You!

Bought this for my 15yr old. He has gotten a lot out of it so far

Well written and a good step by step guide. Helped me build my first PC. Very helpful even if it's in pounds and tech is a little past beyond what is in the book.

The one down side to this book is that it was printed in the UK and the pricing is not converted for US.

Simply stated a good book. I did overkill to build my first personal computer, a gaming monster. I dont use it for gaming but for video editing. the book was very helpful, but I also found many youtube videos that helped too.

A little to vague, looking for more details. Got more out of watching YouTube videos.
