Nowadays, it is fairly straightforward to build a computer from scratch provided that you do a little bit of preparation first.  To build a PC (which can be done very inexpensively if your hardware demands are low), you should consider the following components:\n\na) a processor; b) a motherboard; c) memory chips, d) a case with power supply; e) a DVD-ROM drive; f) a hard drive; g) a simple network card; h) a modem; i) a video card; j) a monitor; k) a keyboard; l) a mouse; and m) operating system software.\n\nThe following items you have to consider: a) what processors and RAM chips the motherboard supports as well as well as what types of "adapter card" slots are available; b) the type of slots determine which network, video and modem cards you purchase; c) the types of I/O connectors to determine whether you get a PS/2 or USB keyboard and mouse.\n\nProcessors can usually be an AMD or Intel variety (if you're looking at a PC) and they have different packaging (shape and pins for the processor chips) that will determine which motherboard you need.  Once you've decided on your processor and motherboard, consult the motherboard manufacturer for the RAM chips that your motherboard accepts.  Buy enough RAM to at least accomodate the Operating System requirements.\n\nMotherboards have specific slots (such as EISA, PCI, AGP) that will determine which of the other hardware you need to get next.\n\nAfter putting together all of the pieces (the motherboard requiring perhaps a few wires to connect to the case for visual feedback) as well plugging in the data interface cables for the hard drive and DVD-ROM drive as well as their power, the next step is to make sure it boots up and you can see the BIOS startup screen.\n\nIf you get that far, the next step is to install your operating system then install any required drivers for your hardware that come with the hardware.  Follow the directions in the manual with regards to driver installation.

If your computer is a brandname like HP or Compaq or Dell or whatever go to their website and find documentation on your particular model.  That will tell you what you can use.\n\nIf your computer is not a brandname you must open it, look on the Motherboard for manufacturer and model number.  Then go to the manufacturers website to see what it can handle.
