Building a full computer really isn’t that difficult. The only challenging part is making sure that all of your components are compatible with each other. Then it’s just mounting them to your chassis (or motherboard, e.g. CPU, RAM, graphics card, etc.) and providing them with power via the power supply (PSU) if needed.

Multi-Channel Memory Technology:
Multi-channel architecture is a technology that increases the transfer speed of data between the RAM and the memory controller by adding more channels of communication between them. Theoretically this multiplies the data rate by exactly the number of channels present. Dual-channel memory employs two channels which theoretically doubles the data transfer rate. Higher-end chipsets like the Intel i7-9x series and various Xeon chipsets support triple-channel memory. Intel has released (2011) chipsets that support quad-channel memory.
