Practice Runs

A project log for Building a Deep Learning PC

This project is about a (moderately) powerful PC I'm making for myself, mostly for studying deep learning.

I've never built a PC myself before, so I made it a point to practice installing components first.

I don't have the CPU, GPU, RAM and the SSD yet, but I've done a little dry run, trying to install the CPU cooler and the power supply on the motherboard and the motherboard in the case. So far it seems quite easy, although the CPU cooler installation scares me a little bit. And I don't want to touch the CPU until it's the actual build itself. Everything else is a breeze. The manuals are very detailed, and there's always Reddit, YouTube and Google.
