Any advice ?

This should be on help but whatever I just wanted to know because I am planning on getting some experience in making computers.

So far I only know about the graphics card and all the main parts I just need to learn how to put one together how to fix it if a glitch or bug happens and etc.

I am planning to get a computer science degree at the air force academy

So really if you have any advice it would be nice

P.S. is there any scholarships for computer stuff ?

There's tonnies of scholarships available in the computer field.

And look at it this way:

If you can build a puzzle, a physical piece puzzle, you can probably build a computer.

You gotta make sure the puzzle pieces are the right ones that fit in with eachother.

Same for parts.

The process of building is actually surprisingly easy. If you've ever put together one of those Star Wars Lego kits it should be second nature. Installing the CPU/cooler is a bit nerve racking. Otherwise, RTFM and you'll be A-OK.

More like setting up a DVD player. That easy once you've done it once.
It's much easier than it looks from the beginning. Start with the motherboard and it's features then branch off to CPU, GPU...

Fuck. You don't know how much I was shaking with my CPU installation a while back.

Savion, this guys videos are a bit dated, but they did the job for me.
