  • Great book for starters
Format: Hardcover
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 ... show more

  • great companion to have when considering parts for your first time, not as useful when assembling your PC.
Format: Hardcover
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. ... show more

Format: Hardcover
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.

  • Great book!! Very helpful!!
Format: Hardcover
I bought this to assist me with my first build. It has been a life saver being that I'm not all that tech savvy. Think of it as sort of a PC building for dummies.

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

  • Low on technicals
Format: Hardcover
This book has nice glassy pictures and all but is very poor on technicals. For example most of the discussion on motherboards is regarding the physical dimensions!
