I think building computers is still worth while but only for people that have a good time doing it.

I do find that if I want to build something good for under $1,000 Logical Increments is very helpful.

I never knew about Logical Increments. That's pretty helpful!

Yeah I learned of them years ago and have failed to actually use them for a build >_> I'm hoping when it comes time to do another PC build I'll remember to use them lol

I have used PC Part Picker in the past, but it's easy to miss things on there.

Yes, that's definitely a lot easier to wrap your head around! PCPartPicker has so many components listed that you really have to sift through the list; they also often have bizarrely outdated components listed.
