Not hard at all, I’ve built like 3 PCs, most mid level media centers. Start with this site:
Pick parts. Build your PC. Compare and share.

Repped and thanks breh.

Yeah you gotta have good vision

Damn

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I love technology.

Ok but putting computers together is just connecting shyt

like someone else said, less expensive playing with legos

 

[StretfordRed]

Just use Partpicker as someone suggested and watched some YouTube videos

Hadn’t built a machine in about 5 years and did one this year. Messed up and had to Google something but it was just the MOBO power cable I forgot.

Trying to cop a 3080 Strix or FTW3 damn near Mission Impossible. Distill throwing too many false alerts from Newegg and shyt. Think I'll just wait out the EVGA notifier queue at this rate.

NH-D15 cooler is said to be an easy install but that shyt had me For my most recent build. I had to reapply paste a few times because I had a hard time lining up the screws to the mounting bracket.

I used the NH-D15 on my build too and it was a pain in the ass to install. Had me sweating by the end. I always have problems with the heatsinks. The rest of it is simple

Things get tricky with cable management and having fans. That always gets me.


I suggest looking up pictures and get a good idea of what you want to do and what you want to have. Plan everything out. I think a good case is the Corsair Carbide 540. I think that's the best case for beginners because you have one side for the main hardware and the other side for cables and everything else.

That case looks huge!

That case looks huge!

Yup, it is. Might need to put next to your table.

My friend has it. Pretty much the perfect case if you're not looking for looks/design. That will be my next case if I do an upgrade down the road.

First build in like 15 years...

I want to cop a amd 5000 chip next week. Do you guys know of any mother boards that will work out of the box. I'm not really too sure with reflashing the bios

That site is not accurate on some parts being compatible with each.

example that site said my motherboard and processor aren’t compatible but newegg did.

and here i am, so

newegg pc builder is smoother and more accurate

B550 boards should. Pretty much any newer board

You shouldn’t totally rely on either site if you’re building a custom from scratch, you always gotta do your research, that’s why I told him to start there. The build guides and completed build sections on partpickers are great for beginners and people that want to build a custom with no guesswork though. The Newegg feature just launched like 5ish months ago and it’s jus giving you buying options from there site, pcpartpicker got them beat on options for that alone...Whenever I build again, I’d use both tools to get the best price for what I’m tryna build.

Man majority of these white PC gamers are some bougie entitled motherfukkers

shyt paying 1500 for an 3090 but can't pay for food

 

[Negro Caesar]

My 3070 came in today. Originally I was bummed out that I couldn’t find a 3080, and was just getting the 3070 until I could get my hands on one. After using the 3070 pretty much all day, I no longer have the desire for a 3080. Getting 1440p 144hz on maxed out settings.

at this point I'll take anything
