This is simply the greatest book for its kind on the market. It has evry bit of information you could want to know. The book recomends parts and each company's tendencies. In the Modding Part and Building Part, the directions are so detailed and contain many pictures of what you will run into. This is the best computer book I have ever read and bought. All other books are inferior. Even if you are not Building, Upgrading, or Modding your PC. This is a book to have. The information is must-know for all gamers and professionals.

I bought this book expecting to have everything explained, in a simple manner. This was true until it came time to wire together the parts. If you ask me, the hardest part of building a computer is the wiring, it's pretty complicated. This book tells you how to install the parts themselves sans the wires. I had to figure out all of the wires on my own: the book told me how to install only about 2 of the wires. I ended up mostly using the instruction booklets that came with the parts. I ended up even having to call tech support!!! After the wiring was set up it came time to install the OS which believe it or not the book has no instructions on. If you are looking for a book to help you build a computer don't get this one!!!

This book would be very good for someone new to the computer building world but does not offer much to anyone with average knowledge. Most of us know what a PSU does and how memory is installed. But if your new to building a cpu, then this is a good source of information.
