At JTWS Computer IT Service Center Inc., we are committed to providing our visitors and customers with transparent and honest recommendations. In line with this commitment, we want to disclose that we have established partnerships with certain companies whose products we promote on our website.
Here at JTWS Computer Services, are computer services refer to a wide range of professional services that are focused on managing, maintaining, and supporting computer systems and networks. These services are typically provided by specialized companies or IT professionals and can include:
In this article we are going to discuss and talk about building your desktop computer that can be managed by you the owner. First we will talk about the parts you need to build the desktop computer and then walk you the steps to building the computer.
First, we must decide on what kind of computer case that is needed and where it can be purchased at. Now, there are several stores that sell computer parts for you to buy from so you can build a computer and most the time you can find a computer case there as well.
In my organization we get most of our supplies from Amazon store online because they do have a good selection. If, you do need help to find a computer case here is selection of them from Amazon.
The following computer cases are ATX and Micro ATX computer cases which is the type of computer case that used today when building one of today’s latest desktop computers. Next, we are going to talk about the Motherboards.
Second, is the motherboard for the computer case and this is important to know if the features are available for the new motherboard after the computer has been built. There are different companies out there that manufacture the motherboard so make sure that the features are available before making the purchase.
If this is not important to you, instead you can just insert the PCI-E cards as they are needed. Just make sure you have the necessary available slots and the power being provided by your Power Supply and you should be good to go.
Our organization usually buys from Amazon store and if you are searching for a new motherboard and need some help to find the right motherboard here the link to the motherboards on Amazon:
Third, we are going to talk about power supplies. Every computer must have a power supply so the computer can power on. There are many power supplies out there and are only able to deliver certain amount of Watts or Wattage based on how the power supply was built at the manufacture.
So when you are replacing your computer’s power supply or building a computer know get the equal or greater amount of wattage so that your computer will have at leat the minimum power. Not all power supplies are designed a like for example DELL and HP have computers and their power supply is designed differently so make sure you know the design of the power supply especially if it is a manufacture computer.
If, you are looking for a power supply because the need to replace or if your just building a computer. Our organization usually buys them from Amazon and if you need any help find that Power Supply here is a website link that will take to the power supplies.
Fourth, the CPU Processor, this is what makes everything work correctly inside the computer. The CPU assigns an IRQ to each device to do its work when action is called upon for that device to start performing results.
CPU processors are selected by the type of motherboard that has been installed inside of the computer case. So when motherboards are manufactured the CPU slot will determine what type CPU processor is needed.
Now, this can be found inside of the motherboard’s manual book. If you do know what kind of CPU processor is needed and need some help to finding the right one. Our organization usually buys them at Amazon and here is our partners website link to help you get started.
Fifth, The Heat sink, you need the Heat sink and this unit sets in place over the CPU processor. After it has been aligned properly you might have 4 corners on top of the CPU processor that consist of philip screws or torq screws or something similar like that and anyway you will need that specific tool secure the heat sink in place over the CPU Processor.
If you don’t have a heat sink or better yet the right heat sink and need some help to get in the right place to find that heat sink here is are partners link:
Sixth, Thermal Grease or Paste. Just remember before you mount the heat sink over the CPU Processor that it does have a fresh patch of thermal grease or paste inserted on the heat sink’s copper plate.
In my organization we use Arctic Silver 5 thermal grease but you can use just about any kind of thermal grease. If you need help finding some thermal grease here is our Amazon partner websites:
Sixth, is the RAM memory and as I’m writing this article probably the most known and used type of RAM memory is DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5 at this time and soon we should have DDR6 but for now we will stick with the first three selections.
Every computer must have RAM memory and not defective ram memory, such as DDR3, 4 or 5 for the desktop computer or else the computer simply will not boot up instead most computers will give you a memory error beeps and will not past the POST Test at boot up.
So if your building a computer or upgrading the memory and need some help to finding the ram memory here is are Amazon partner website:
Seventh, is the SSD drive and the Hard Disk Drive and for the best performance and speed for computers today. Computers mostly use the SSD drive and they are getting away from the HDD or Hard Disk Drive.
“If you need a HDD drive I will leave a link at the bottom”.
For now we are going to talk about SSD drive because they much faster and they are not a mechanical drive like the HDD drive and SSD drive can be mounted to the computer case the same way as the HDD or they can be mounted directly to the motherboard known as the NVME SSD drive and known as Non-Volatile Memory Express and they use the M.2 form factor on the computer’s motherboard and this is used in the latest and most up to date computers.
If you need any help to finding any of these drives, I will put up two websites for the drives. SSD Drives & M.2 NVME https://amzn.to/3UrWjp8
And if you were to need a hard disk drive here is the link https://amzn.to/3JvC2cc
