Reddit mentions of Maxcraft 60609 7-In-1 Precision Pocket Screwdriver (colors may vary)

Went slightly over budget. There are a couple of ways to reduce the total price, so let me know if you want this. I do how-ever don't take mail in-rebates into account, so perhaps you can buy products elsewhere to get that, if you want to make use of that.

All you need for building a PC is time, a standard philips (magnetic is possible?) screwdriver, an anti-static wrist band and a decent amount of space to build.

I will provide a lot of helpful videos to help you understand why I went for certain parts, as well as a couple of guides that will help you a lot for building your own PC.

I will refer to these videos in my rationale. Which I have to post in a reply as I went over the 10.000 character limitation you get from reddit per post.

So here is my suggestion, a black & red gaming PC:

Some video's that will help you with the build!

How to build a PC: Here. Completely ignore the parts that he chose. I actually was very surprised at that date when he came with those products, as I don't think it's optimized well and the GPU could've been a lot better. Anyway, ignore it! Building a PC is basicly the same, the wires did not change and the process is not changed either. You can skip the stock intel CPU cooler part and instantly install the aftermarket CPU cooler. This is just easier for you so you don't have to clean the thermal paste later. Which would cost you another £/$/€10 or so.

How to overclock your GPU: Hey guys, this is Austin! It really is very easy these days. I highly suggest to run 10-15 minutes stress tests in between changing to a higher frequency. After you hit crashes and artifacts. I sugges to go down 2 steps or at least 10-25MHz on the core clock and 25-50MHz on the memory. Then do a full +6 hour stress test at least.
How to install Windows from an USB drive: Here is a great video again! A 4GB+ USB flash drive is needed!
How to use Ninite: This video explains it very well, as well as their recommendations. For security I advise to only get Avast & Malwarebytes.

You can get a copy of Windows 10 here and this link will teach you how to create a bootable USB drive.

This video will walk you through the build process step-by-step, and this one will walk you through the setup of your new rig from overclocking the RAM to installing Windows. If you need to update your BIOS to successfully overclock the RAM (you probably will), this video will walk you through that process.

To actually complete the build, you're going to need a few tools.
The essentials are a screwdriver, a pair of scissors/wirecutter, and zip ties for cable management. Some useful tools (that aren't mandatory) include a small screwdriver for the hard to reach places in the case, a magnetic screw tray to keep track of all those pesky screws, and an anti-static mat (can't find a link to one, but the brand I'd recommend is called ModMat).

I know it seems overwhelming, but you'll be okay! You have plenty of resources (and this sub!) available to help, and you're welcome to PM me for any help you may need :)

Feel free to ask anything!

Yeah. This kind of thing

It was not hard to build the mobo into the case, just keep on top of your cable management. If you can, remove the HD sled first (unless of course you need it). All the screws come with the products that I purchased, yes. Be careful about stripping screws, just use the proper driver (no power!). I believe I have 8 standoffs mounted + 1 nub that comes pre-attached to the case. I probably watched ALL the youtube videos, lol. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fractal+meshify+c+build

Things I made sure I had for my build before all my parts showed up.

1. Anti Static wristband
   
   
2. Computer screw set I did end up stripping a screw or two and had to replace them from here.
   
   
3. Nice microfiber cloth for the tempered glass leave the plastic on the glass during the build, it will get loaded with finger prints.
   
   
4. Screwdriver set you probably already have this, I just wanted magnetic ones.
   
   
5. Fine screwdriver I used this A LOT.
   
   
6. Magnetic screw tray
   
   I got most of these items as a tip from a youtube video but I can not find it at the moment. Yeah, definitely let me know if you need help with anything or just want me to show you "how I did it". The manual for the mother board has the header LEDs defined on there, there is one dead spot (no pin) in the top right, obviously dont use that one but also don't use the one below it even though its labeled ground for the reset button (thats the only issue I had).

that's a pretty legit list right there. I have a trunk full of gear, probably worth almost as much as my car. I do a lot of contract work, so my list is pretty much the same just slightly beefed up.

• I have a basic tech kit from Amazon
  
• I have a buttset Sometimes reffered to as a linemans set.
  
• About 10 of these Floating around my car/trunk/tool bags and person. because i like to lose things lol
  
• A Basic cable tester
  
• This Cable mapper
  
• Coax crimper (For tv, and bnc)
  
• Crimp Kit
  
• I buy these Like candy, they're perfect for ISO's for giving to customers with instructions and/or iso's just perfect in general for a lot of things.
  
• Stinger Flash light Serves double duty as a i'm a volunteer first and second responder
  
• Cable stripper
  
  Replenishables
  
  
• I Keep at least 50 of these on hand
  
• rg59 tips (CCTV BNC Tips)
  
• RG6 tips (Cable TV)
  
• RJ45 tips (A mason jar filled with about 60-100)
  
• at minimum of box of cat5 Sometimes up to three boxes. i will have a job soon that will require six of them lol.
  
• Patch Cables 3f and 5ft usually at minimum 10 of each
  
• zip ties (Usually three containers of 500 of assorted sizes)
  
• White 2 4 and 6 port keystone faceplates
  
• White keystone blanks
  
• low voltage mounting brackets
  
• white 1 and 2 port surface mount boxes
  
• some hdmi cables (Usually just 4 or 5 of these)
  
• electrical tape (5 50' rolls of different color) for many things
  
• Pull string
  
• dikes (Not really but they dissappear so fast they feel like it) like These
  
• I actually keep two label makers
  
• Rolls of 8 inch velcro ties
  
  contractor things
  
  
• Step bits
  
• Paddle bits
  
• Hole Saw Kit
  
• Masonry bits
  
• Caulk gun
  
• caulk
  
• grommets
  
• Ladder
  
• First aid kit
  
• 150' Fish tape
  
• An 18V Cordless DeWalt Hammer Drill
  
• Regular drill bits
  
  
  
• I use these to organize my laptop bag (win surface pro with usb to rj45 adapter, usb to db9 adapter, console cable, lan cable, wifi hotspot, anker battery pack, 500gb usb hard drive etc)
  
• I use these bags to organize everything
  
  and a myriad of other small parts pertaining to surveillance system installs, and screw bits for my drill, and i even have secured walkies for when i have multiple employees on site. plus i have to admit bluetooth headsets for when i have to deal with helpdesks or tech support while i'm on site... did i mention i do a lottttt of contract work. i'm all over the place. every now and then i run into things that this kit can't handle but for the most part i come away with a rather professional look.
  
  sorry for formatting, i've seen plenty of these posts this is the first time i took time to actually look up evrything i've purchased.
  
  Edit: Some formatting. added velcro :P

My favorite accessories are a 32 piece precision screwdriver set, one of these http://www.amazon.com/MAXCRAFT-60609-Precision-Pocket-Screwdriver/dp/B003BXS4T2 and a dremel.

What size screwdriver will i need to build my pc? i am using a Phanteks case with a b350 tomohawk MoBo.

Will this be enough? or would i need another type of screwdriver

Or use amazon.

cr2032 battery

Small screwdriver


You can probably find a better/cheaper screwdriver at a hardware store though.

TiddlyInks (like that one really old game)

[$4 item] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BXS4T2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=ET9F1H0BMZEE&coliid=IJCB4JSKBEQID)

It's not a multitool but this is the most portable screwdriver I can think of that can use multiple bits.
