How to Build a Gaming PC: Everything You Need to Know

Step 4: GPU

Your GPU or video card will be plugging into one of the PCI slots on your motherboard. Look for the plates on the back of the case that should be in line with these slots. Remove the plate and move your GPU into this position. You should now find that the graphics card is lined up with the PCI slot. Push it into the slot and then fix the bracket that came with your GPU onto the back of your case. Hopefully, if you now let go of your video card everything should look firmly in place and your GPU shouldn’t look like it’s bending or applying pressure to your PCI slot.
