Ever built a PC before?

Post by Ravenfreak »

Have you ever built a PC before? Was it for yourself or for someone else? I never built a PC before, I know it's cheaper in the long run to build your own rather than get a pre built, but I would have to find a good spot to put it all together without my kitten messing with things for one thing and I am not really confident that I would be able to build it without it breaking lol. I'm afraid I might get parts that aren't compatible with each other.

Yep, I've built a few. XD I don't enjoy it as much as I once did, though.

Yep, I've built a few. It's an enjoyable experience for me. The buying of the parts and then the excitement of opening everything when it comes and building it 😄

Yep, I build my own and I love it, would recommend anyone and everyone builds their own. If you're worried about parts compatibility, you can use PC Part Picker to make sure all is well :)

This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Another good resource you could potentially use in conjunction with PC Part Picker if you are on a budget, is Logical Increments.

Logical Increments seems like a really nice place to start if you want an idea of what you can afford.

That's pretty rough :P

Even if I built one right now, we don't really have a spot for it so that's going to have to wait til we have a bigger living space D:
