7. turn on power
6. insert windows 7 cd
7. install windows
8. wait for windows to finish installing

10. download CF and play
touch metal before u touch any thing to prevent static shock.
Id rather put the Motherboard into the case first.
Building PC's are simple. It's much like a puzzle. You just have to slot the components onto the right slots and screw in a few screws.
Every component comes with an installation guide anyway.

This looks good, but I want to know what certain parts do, how they do it, which parts are good(brand, version, etc...). I am very newbish to all this hardware stuff.

Okey so this site is good, i've been using it to compare the products in a computer for seeing if i should go prebuilt or build my own, but right now buying prebuilt seems to be choice.

Depends. As shown above, you can get some amazing deals but pre-building is still slightly cheaper.

no problem, it is okay to be a newbie. we were all newbies at one time.
there are a few ways to learn:
1. you can hang around people with knowledge, in shops, or from school, or in forums online.
2. you can use google, youtube to search for parts reviews.
3. you can read wiki about them .
4. subscribe to magazines.
5. mess around your old pc
the pc hardware stuff is really not that hard to learn. the hard stuff is programming.
if you are really into computer, learn some programming and coding. if u get good that it, u can work on games like CF or Linux software etc.

not that im aware of.
that's why it is better to get a desktop if you are serious about gaming, unless you mostly play ghost mode, then a good laptop will do.
but u can't upgrade graphics card on a laptop and usually graphics card helps a little bit but as much as a faster CPU on this game.
u can tweak your pc for gaming if u havent done so. there are a few things u can do...

My brother uses my gaming desktop. I gave it to him. My laptop plays most games fine. Especially CF. But I was wondering for editing purposes, because obviously my graphics card was not compatible with certain programs.
You technically can do it to certain laptops... i wouldnt recommend trying... you'll break it.
Overclock a laptop? Enjoy your $500 paperweight if you do. Either that or youll will be missing a few fingers when the thing explodes.
You can really tweak a laptop very well. You can try and increase performance by messing with windows settings but in the end if you're looking for a real difference you need new hardware.

Use to use this guys info back in the day on my XP machine. Haven't tried with my current sees as how I'm not limited on anything.
All about editing services.msc: Enabling and disabling certain services on your computer.

Yup. That is why I mentioned, I do NOT want to overclock. .

For CF? I recommend you stop saying that to people.
For high end games? Go for it.
