Topic: How to Build a Computer
General Purpose: Informative
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience how to build a computer on their own
Introduction
A. Attention getter: How many of you own a computer, or have access to a computer?
B. Preview:
According to my research at statista.com, the general consensus is that over 80% of Americans own a computer, and over 70% of them use the internet. According to Time magazine, there are arguments that the internet should be considered a utility because it’s such a vital part of most Americans lives. Computers are not going away. Technology advances at an exponential rate and there is no reason to believe this to change any time soon. Computers have so many uses from instant information,

Thesis:
Okay, so all of that sounds great, so how do you get the PC you need? I’m going to inform you about what parts you need, briefly describe how to assemble the components, and how to power it up and set up what you need.
Body –
Point 1
I. What parts will you need? 1. Motherboard – This is exactly what it sounds like. It is the mother of the board. It controls all the connections between the components on your computer.
2. Central Processing Unit, CPU or processer. This is the brain of the computer. And controls almost all processes of the computer.
3. Graphics Processing unit, GPU, or commonly known as designated graphics card. This is the component that renders images on the monitor for gaming, videos, pictures etc.
4. Random Access Memory or RAM. The more ram your computer has, the easier it will be to channel information and processes quickly. Most people won’t notice a huge difference in performance of their computer as long as they have enough RAM. However, if you do not have enough, you will notice your computer will struggle to

Next you will install all components you can, to the motherboard itself. First will be the processor. Follow the instructions from your motherboard because most will require a bracket or some way to secure the processer. This will also include applying thermal paste to the processer and the heatsink. The thermal paste is used to be a conductor to help fill in any possible gaps between the two and releases the heat from the processer. 3. Install the motherboard, power supply, hard drive to the case. Also connect the SATA or data cable from the hard drive to the motherboard.
4. Next follow the instructions of your motherboard and power supply to make sure you have power connected to all the correct components.
5. Finally, is my least favorite part and that is managing the cable so that they are not touching any fans, hot areas of the computer, and are astatically pleasing.
Transition
Now that you have everything installed, it’s time to power on your computer, set everything up, and enjoy! Point 3
III. Setup
1. Plug in all external accessories to the case such as your mouse, keyboard, monitor
Motherboard: The motherboard has all the ports and slots where all the components will connect onto.
What do CPU’s do? The CPU is the Central Processing Unit; its aim is to be there the act as the brain of the computer. Other common name for the CPU is the processor. It is in control of the power the computer is receiving and using and the calculations that enable to the computer to be used. CPUs come in differing form factors and each has a particular way in which it will fit on to the motherboard. The most common manufactures of this part that people will know are Intel and AMD. The CPU is in charge of allowing programmes to be used. The CPU sorts the commands of a program into an order which enables it to be used.
This section gives the details and specification of the hardware on which the system is expected to work.
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit and it’s the brain of the computer. CPU executes instructions that enable the operating system and application software to run on a system. Inside the CPU we can find three main components which are the ALU, Control Unit and memory unit. ALU stands for Arithmetic and Logic Unit and performs calculations like addition, multiplication, division and subtraction. It also compares results using “greater than”, “less than” or “equal to”. Control Unit controls the operation of the memory unit, processor and input/output units. Memory unit is where all data that the CPU may need to process is stored. The data is stored in the memory in binary form.
GPU: GPU stands for Graphics Possessing Unit. It is used for 2D or 3D Graphics, outputting to display monitors,running graphic high intensity applications, etc.This is very mathematically intensive so it takes strain off the CPU.
Q:1. Briefly explain following designing requirments that are required when designing the hardware and software infrastructure :
Answer: hardware and software is the core of the computer without it computer cannot perform its task. The PC contains various electronic components that we are able to see when we open it. By only pc by itself cannot perform their task on their own. Our PC needs something to get instructed to set it on where we need software to perform it. There are six different component of hardware to function the computer .The first one is central processing unit(CPU )it is the brain of the
a. Create a booklet which explain the function of hardware components and identify communication between components. The pages should include photographs and diagrams to illustrate the information you include. (P1)
To complete the installation, the following steps would be accomplished to successfully install the access control system.
With time, the PC continued to evolve and newer models offered better speed, color screens, more memory and larger hard drives. Further technical evolution continued to deliver higher speeds, larger storage capacity both internal and external. In addition to the hardware progression, the PC world continued to see progress with operating system solutions and advanced software catering to both large and small businesses as well as the home owner.
A CPU, is what is regularly alluded to as a processor. A processor contains numerous discrete parts inside it, for example, one or more memory reserves for directions and information, guideline decoders, and different sorts of execution units for performing number juggling or legitimate operations.
Introduction: In this assignment, I will explain the role of hardware and software components within a computer system. Furthermore, I will explain how they relate to digital graphics.I will also recommend suitable components for Cambridge Industrial Design. (P1)
Computers are an important tool that many students use during college to accomplish tasks for classes. Laptops are commonly used around campuses; however, they don’t always prove to be strong enough to complete all the tasks that college students would like to run. When a laptop isn’t large enough to run all the software a student would like, a desktop computer comes next in power. A desktop computer is capable of more customization to fit the needs of a person with its performance and visuals. Most colleges offer desktop computers that can run advanced programs, however it is not always convenient to a college student to have to go onto campus to use this software. This is why it is more suitable for college students to have their own desktop PC at home.
b) There is a gate on the motherboard, you will lift this up and grab the processor from the top and GENTLY lay it on the socket, being careful not to drop or drag it across the socket as this can damage the very sensitive pins.
It seems that in today 's world nothing can be done without a computer, but upon a closer look, you will find that it is the hardware components and input and output devices that make a computer useful. What is it that determines the speed at which a computer can find a file? How do you get a report from your PC to the members of your next Board meeting? It is the hardware that is used with your computer that allows you to accomplish all of your business needs using your computer.
