PC building may not be rocket science, but it isn’t a walk in the park either, especially for a first-timer. Most of us who have built a few PCs in our time have learnt these tricks already.
But these are good to read if you are thinking of building your first PC. They’re all good tips, and the great thing about “modern times” is you have YouTube and similar video platforms to usually explain and show exactly how something is best done.
Building your own PC is typically very rewarding, mainly because instead of getting nearly all “compromise” components at a price in a pre-built PC, you get to choose exactly what you want to put in your built PC. Most importantly, it gives the confidence to upgrade a component or two later on.
Every PC I’ve ever built has had it’s two or three upgrades done to it along the way. The case and keyboard have always lasted the longest, but do consider replacing a case at some point, as the newer ones have great cable management and airflow features.
