In Build it Yourself VISUALLY: The Ultimate Game PC for Under $999, veteran author, PC builder, and game guru Joel Durham Jr. shows readers how to create the ultimate game machine on a budget. He tells readers how to plan their game PC, develop a parts shopping list, and acquire components at bargain prices. Then, step-by-step, he'll use numbered full-color photos to clearly walk readers through the PC-building process. Readers will start with a computer case, then learn how to select, purchase, and install the motherboard, CPU, memory, graphics card, audio and network hardware, and hard drive. Finally they'll learn how to select and install peripheral hardware such as monitors, keyboards, mice, and game controllers. Supporting text and sidebars throughout the book tell readers the "why" of PC building and give additional information. Hard-core gamers demand incredible detail, high frame rates, and realistic sound from their PCs. This is the first book to show readers how to build such dream machines, but without breaking the bank!
