I'm trying to get into PC gaming, and I decided to be a man and build my own rig. I know basically nothing about computers other than how to use them, so I got started reading about 5 articles and watching about 3 hours of youtube videos on the subject.

It looks like the only people who do this are legitimate experts. Am I an idiot for thinking this is doable?

>pic unrelated, it's all I have on this computer

I'm a 20 year old who works in a grocery store and built one with spare change I have laying around. But yeah only experts can do it.

What was the best source of information you found on the subject?

>>56666312
Bruh, you're looking in the wrong places.

here's some videos and links to get started

>building a computer

>More Comparisons on videocards

And there's a bunch of other stuff out there.

You don't have to be an expert, but I'm curious as to how you spent 3 hours looking at vids on it.

It's not best source, it's a bunch of different sources.

Lets see who it is.

I just looked up explanations for each of the parts and let it autoplay while I played console.

Thanks for the info guys. Also: my bad, I didn't realize there was a whole board for this these days.

Also, some advice-

Do try to leave room for your system to be upgradeable.
Went with an i3-6100 skylake CPU, so when prices drop near december(nearing kaby lake release) I can grab an i7/i5 and call it quits until ZEN shows up.


Also, don't get AMD CPUs. AMD is outdated ATM, and outdone pretty badly.

>>56666588
cool I'll remember that.

>>56666728
And don't order from NCIX, I forgot that last bit.
Christ, 15 dollar shipping, BH was better.
