In part 3 of our buying a custom built gaming PC from an online builder such as OverClockers UK series, we connect the PC up for the first time. However before switching it on there is an issue to overcome, which is the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D graphic card to monitor cables. So if you have just bought a new PC base unit, watch this video first before you try to force the wrong connector into very similar graphics card ports! It could save you having to deal with bent pins or worse!

2. Quality of Build

Opening up the base unit to take a look at the installed components for what to check for in terms of the quality of build before plugging the PC in and booting it up for the first time, because during transit internal connectors can become loose, so it is always a good idea to check everything inside is secure and plugged as this video illustrates, before powering up the machine for the first time.
