The Building a Gaming PC course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to PC hardware and customisation. The syllabus begins with a deep dive into essential components including CPUs (Intel and AMD), GPUs (such as NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon), RAM types (DDR4 vs DDR5), motherboards (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX), storage solutions (NVMe SSDs, SATA SSDs, and HDDs), and power supplies (modular vs non-modular, wattage calculations). Participants will learn how to evaluate performance benchmarks, understand chipset compatibility, and select components based on gaming requirements and budget. Thermal management is also introduced, covering air and liquid cooling options, proper airflow design, and thermal paste application techniques.
As the course progresses, learners will engage in step-by-step build sessions, where they’ll install CPUs into sockets (LGA or AM4), apply thermal paste, mount CPU coolers, seat RAM modules correctly in dual-channel configurations, and fit GPUs into PCIe slots. They'll connect storage drives, route and tie power cables, and install operating systems like Windows 11 using bootable USB drives. BIOS/UEFI setup is also covered, including enabling XMP profiles for RAM, adjusting boot priorities, and updating firmware. The course concludes with sessions on troubleshooting hardware issues, stress-testing the system with software like Prime95 and FurMark, and exploring future upgrades like adding RGB lighting, high-speed fans, or overclocking components safely. By course end, participants will not only have built a fully functional gaming PC but will also possess the knowledge to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade their system confidently.
