How to- Build a computer

Could somebody please help me edit this speech I'm presenting tomorrow.
How to make a computer-

First you have to buy the parts including a case, motherboard, processor, CPU fan, RAM, CD-ROM, floppy drive, hard drive, power supply, and case fan. From there you may have to assemble the case or it could come pre assembled. Next you need to screw in the power supply. After that open up the container holding you motherboard and take it out of the anti-static bag. Make sure you touch something metal before touching the motherboard. Carefully screw the spacers onto the case and then the mobo onto the spacers. Next put the processor into the socket and snap the level down accordingly. Next attach a heatsink or fan/heatsink onto the processor and plug the fan into the approapiate place.. Next, well go ahead insert the RAM into the RAM slots on the mobo. Next, take the video card and firmly snap it into it’s respective slot, either PCI or AGP. Next, we will install the hard drive, cd-rom, and floppy. Insert them into their appropriate slots and screw them in. Now connect the proper IDE and Floppy cables between them and the motherboard. Next, you must insert the power cables into the drives. Next, insert the proper power cables into the motherboard. Next , screw in the case fan and plug it in. Last, don’t forget to connect the power switch, reset switch, and LEDs to the mobo.

thats a very...ummm, how do you say this without being rude? Its a very plain speech. It does explain how to do what is needed, but it doesnt explain locations for cables and such very well. My opinion is to add more specific detail. If your being graded on this and i was your teacher, It would get a C+.

Truckie, Juggalo King!!!

Well this is for a speech class so It doesn't need to be very precise and I'm going to bring in a computer to show them where I'm putting those cables and such. I was making sure I had all the parts down.

if this is for "speech class" it's gotta sound better than that. i suggest being more diverse and not beginning every sentence with "next"
