Max Builds her FIRST PC – Photo Editing Build Log

**Max's First PC Build Experience**

For Max, building his first computer was an exciting yet intimidating experience. He thought everything through before making a decision, and even considered using power tools, which were eventually deemed unnecessary. With the guidance of his team, Max successfully completed the build process.

As they began assembling the case, it became clear that Max had never used power tools before. His team reassured him that they would make sure he was safe throughout the process. Despite some initial concerns about damaging the table or the paint job, the team worked together to ensure everything was done correctly. The use of Plastidip by James Tribe was also a helpful tip in securing the parts together.

Once the build was complete, Max's team took a step back to assess their work. With the help of external tools like USB drives and HDMI cables, they double-checked all connections and components to ensure everything was functioning properly. The Core i5 8400 processor and 16 GB of RAM were successfully detected by the system, providing a solid foundation for Max's new computer.

The team took a moment to appreciate their handiwork before reassembling any parts that might have been removed during the process. This included the Windows installation media and the necessary cables. The excitement was palpable as they plugged everything in and waited for the system to boot up.

Upon turning on the computer, Max's team confirmed that all components were recognized by the system. A single terabyte boot drive and a four terabyte storage drive provided ample space for files, programs, and data. With Windows Boot Manager already installed, the process of setting up the operating system was streamlined.

**Conclusion**

Max's first PC build experience was an exciting milestone in his computing journey. Despite some initial hesitation and concerns, he worked closely with his team to overcome any challenges that arose during the process. The successful completion of the build provided a solid foundation for Max's new computer, and he could now enjoy the benefits of having his own high-performance machine.
