Step 1:

Unpacking your PC

Firstly, before you open your packaging, make sure that the box is facing the correct side up, there will be helpful symbols on your box that will indicate which side is up on the box. Now you can cut open the packaging tape to get inside of your system. When opening the packaging you will find the following items inside:

• Your PC.

• An accessory bag with extra items that were included with your original components.

• Any optional peripherals you purchased with your system (Monitors are shipped in separate boxes.)

After removing your PC from the box you will notice a white bag inside the case. This bag is called an Instapak and it is placed inside your PC to help prevent damage during shipping. To remove the Instapak you will need to carefully remove the glass panel by loosening the thumbscrew located at the top left of the glass panel.

Step 2:

Getting your PC Powered up

Now that everything is set you can now hook up the power cable. The power cable will connect to the port on your power supply show in the photo below.

Step 3:

Getting a display

Next, you will attach the Display cables to the GPU (aka the graphics or video card). The GPU is the horizontal slot about halfway down the back of the PC as shown in the example below. You will need to use either a DisplayPort (RIGHT) or HDMI (LEFT) cable to connect the system to your monitor.

Step 4:

Plug in Peripherals

Now that everything is set up you can now hook up your keyboard, mouse, and any other peripherals that you may have. You may plug these into the USB ports in the back of the computer.

Step 5:

Network + Bluetooth Setup

Now if you have purchased a system that is WiFi/Bluetooth Capable, you will also need to connect the included wireless antenna. Unlike phones or laptops, most gaming PCs need an external antenna to be connected in order to use WiFi or Bluetooth. Without these antennas, your PC may have poor reception for wireless connections or may not even be able to connect at all. You can find examples of these in the photo below.

Once you have located your antenna(s), installation is easy, there will be two brass connectors on the PC that you will be able to screw onto the antenna(s). This is shown in the example below. in some cases it might be just a little usb dongle

Step 6:

Turn your Power Supply on

Now that the PC has the power cable, display cable, and possibly antennas installed, you are now able to power on your PC. Make sure the switch next to your power cable is in the "I" position. (Pictured below in the "I" Position).

Step 7:

Turning your PC on

Then on the top of the case, firmly press the power button

Your PC should now show signs of life: fans spinning, lights, and a display on your monitor!

Step 8:

SOUND!

Now that everything is set make sure to plug your headset and microphone in either with a splitter or individually.

Please note that in order for your headset to have both your headphones and microphone enabled you will need to either use a split headset with 2 inputs or a USB headset. Single jack headsets may work for one or the other, but may not work at all.

Green = Audio

Red = Microphone

Step 9:

Setting up windows

Make sure to follow the instructions given by Windows. Once everything is setup wait 10 minutes for all BASIC drivers to install (you don't have to do this unless you request it with windows 11). Download either Geforce Experience or AMD Adrenaline depending on the GPU that came with your PC.

Step 10:

Refresh Rate

To change the refresh rate do the following
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings

-Under Refresh rate, select the rate you want.
The refresh rates that appear depend on your display and what it supports. Select laptops and external displays will support higher refresh rates.

ONLY WORKS IF YOUR MONITOR SUPPORTS HIGHER REFRESH RATES

The refresh rate of a display is the number of times per second that the image refreshes on the screen. For example, a 60Hz display will update the screen 60 times per second.

Overall, the refresh rate determines how smoothly motion appears on your screen. For example, if you’re playing a game that has a lot of fast-moving action, a higher refresh rate can help improve your overall gaming experience to keep up with the action. A higher refresh can also help you get a better experience with smoother motion when you're browsing the web or using a digital pen to write or draw.

A higher refresh rate can also reduce battery life because it uses more power. So if you're using a laptop or tablet and want to save some battery, you could lower the refresh rate. However, that might also reduce the overall experience when you're using your device.
