Here's our step-by-step guide to help you build your very own compact mini-ITX PC from scratch.

Venturing into the realm of PC building can be tricky as you're confronted with a wide range of choices when selecting the right CPU, RAM, motherboard, graphics card, and other components. It's important to settle on your form factor first, though. For space-saving fanatics, we're going to guide you through the process of building your own mini-ITX PC.

Step 1: Remove the motherboard from its packaging and place it on a clean, flat surface like a wooden desk or rubberized mat. Avoid any sort of metal surfaces. Installing RAMMemory module installation is pretty straightforward and is comparatively one of the easiest part of building a PC.

Installing M.2 storageM.2 storage is a wise choice if you are building a PC in 2023, especially in a mini-ITX case. It doesn't have any moving parts, it doesn't have any cables, and most importantly, it offers excellent speeds, especially if you opt for the latest PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5 SSDs. Here's how you can install your M.2-based storage.

Step 4: If required, remove the peel on the inside of your heat sink cover and reinstall it over the M.2 SSD you just installed. If your SSD came with a pre-applied heat sink, you can continue using that. Step 3: Use the screws supplied with your motherboard and secure all four of them using a Philips head screwdriver. It is best that you install each screw and tighten only halfway until all four are in position, after which you can proceed to fully tighten them in a diagonal pattern. Make sure you don't overtighten them as there is a risk of bending and in some cases damaging the motherboard.

Step 3: Next, connect all the power cables to your motherboard, including the 24-pin motherboard power cable, the 8-pin CPU power cable, and necessary 8-pin power cables for your GPU. Step 3: Position the CPU cooler atop the processor and apply gentle pressure. Align any retaining brackets or bolts with the corresponding CPU cooler mounting holes on the motherboard.

Installing the GPUA variety of processors come with built-in graphics chips, so you don't necessarily need an additional graphics card. But if you plan to game or require powerful graphics performance for video rendering, then a dedicated graphics card is required. Here's how to install the GPU. Step 1: Take your hard drive/SSD and mount them into the correct place as pointed out in your case installation manual.
