Generating a part list compatible with pcpartpicker.com could fix that easily if not.

> Are you able to complement with actual build instructions ?

It's almost easier to build a PC today than a 100 piece LEGO kit. Otherwise, most components come with manuals for how to assemble them together with the other pieces too, like the motherboard comes with instructions on where things go.

I think CPU cooling mounts are probably the only thing that's really difficult, and even then, the types of mistakes you're likely to make (namely uneven tension or not enough thermal compound) take some hands on experience to get right.

I've walked 3 different under 21 kids through a build since start of the pandemic... only because my hand/eye coordination for some bits (panel headers, etc) isn't so great combined with low light visibility.

I dunno, there is a bunch of motherboard/RAM/CPU combinations that don't work properly together. Just because the socket is right, doesn't mean the component supports it.

Slightly recent example is newly launched CPU architectures using contemporary sockets, where you have to insert a supported CPU first, update BIOS and only then could the motherboard support newly launched CPU. But if you just have the one, new CPU, it might not be able to boot.

That's fair as well.. matching launch chipset and CPU is a pain. Also, even in Phoenix, I had trouble getting access to an older CPU to update a MB chipset for a new build last year... wound up spending $100 more on a newer chipset MB. It had bios flashback, but that didn't work.

Seems like this is something PC Part Picker (with their metadata on compatibility and slots and such) could build without AI.

It's easy but it would be good to have a simple "How to". We'll add soon
