Question:

PC and cables?

I feel like this is a stupid question but yeah, I m getting a PC and wonder about all the cables. It doesn t have vga output so I m going with a separate hdmi cable to the screen, but power cables I suppose will be there? Like that s not a separate thing ooor...?

Answer:

If you are buying a PC that is bundled with a monitor, all of the necessary cables to set it up should be included (except a network cable). If you are buying the PC and monitor separately, the PC should come with a power cable, and may or may not include a video cable.The monitor should include a power cable and at least one video cable that the monitor supports. Monitors will typically come with a DVI cable and a DVI to VGA adapter if DVI is supported. If you are using a television instead of a monitor, it will likely only come with a power cord. You would need to buy your video cable separately.
depends on 'where' youre getting it from .. a retail bought machine is sure to have all the basic cables for hookup ..
If you're buying a pre-built PC, it will come with all the necessary cables. If you're buying parts to assemble your own PC, you'll get most of the cables. The power supply will come with a power cord, as well as the power cables for use inside the PC. The monitor will come with its own power cord, and at least 1 video cable. If you want to use HDMI and it didn't come with a HDMI cable, just go buy one (assuming the monitor supports HDMI...) The motherboard may come with some SATA cables for connecting your hard drive, DVD drive to the motherboard. The motherboard will also come with a baggie full of screws, connectors, and doodads for attaching the motherboard to the case. In general, you should have just about everything you need to completely build a PC from a pile of parts.
