Any Tutorial To Build A High End Gaming Pc?
Try to give your best answer, and I would appreciate a ridiculously long and in-depth answer too. I live in Mississauga, Canada, and I would like to know every part I would require (give actual examples if you can) and where I can buy them. (Not online, but a real shop in Mississauga) If you can, please list combinations of parts with actual names. Thank you very much!

There are a multitude of possible combinations of components that can be used to build a system, but the bottom line is they MUST be compatible with each other. You’ll need to decide if you want to build an AMD or Intel based system, then find a motherboard that has the features you need that can support the processor, memory and cards (graphics, audio, wi-fi, etc.) you want to use. You’ll also need a good power supply (you don’t want to go cheap there), hard drive(s), optical drive(s), case and case fans. Processors usually come with a fan, but you’ll need to use thermal compound, Arctic Silver 5 is very good, between the processor and heatsink/fan, the paste that comes pre-applied isn’t as good at thermal conductance. And finally, you’ll need a monitor, keyboard and mouse and an operating system.
Instead of trying to explain everything, here’s some links on how to build your own system.http://www.build-your-own-computer-tips.…http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/http://lifehacker.com/5151369/the-first+…http://www.maximumpc.com/article/feature…
You say that you don’t want to buy the components online. Buying from a store would cost you considerably more than buying the same components online, unless there’s a CompUSA/Tiger Direct or NewEgg nearby. NewEgg gets the majority of my business because of their low prices, rebates and free shipping on a lot of items. But the choice is yours. Here’s their link in Canada if you change your mind.http://www.newegg.ca/
Here’s a tiered power supply list that rates power supplies from best to not recommended. It’ll help you avoid those cheap ” I’ll take out your motherboard when I die” power supplies.http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/32…
