Well, I think the time has finally come

I’m going to build a computer for the first time ever. My concern for the computer’s long term performance, ability to be upgraded, and inability to enjoy PC games has left me with few options. By building it myself, I can cut out what I don’t need and focus on the things I do need. I might even save a buck in the process compared to buying something ready made. Like a model kit for tech nerds.

I brought this up to my mom and she nearly had a heart attack. Too many terrible experiences with windows computers to even entertain the idea. Maybe it’ll be different building it myself, knowing what I know now, and taking common sense precautions online.

So do tell. What are your recommendations or words of advice?
