Is building your own PC a safe choice when youve never done it before, /v/?
>>
>>375918635
It's fine, you have the internet.
>>
>>375918665

ive seen videos of people installing processors into sockets and the sound alone is enough to make me not want to risk it...
>>
Yeah, you'll be fine. It definitely is intimidating because you spend so much money on it, but as long as you follow any of the dozens of online guides you'll do fine.
>>
I would drive that vehicle
>>
Stop being a bitch. I did and now I can call you a bitch on the PC I assembled by myself. You bitch.
>>
>>375918635
Dunno why build a PC? For those shit running multiplats or the last mp cancer? Honestly just buy a PS4.
>>
>>375918635
Yes. It's literally like building (color coded) Legos, and there's hundreds of fine tutorials online. There's even services that let you hand-pick the components, limiting the choices if there's incompatibilities. Some of these services even do the assembling for you, and ship you the finished PC.

What comes to the game library and cost-efficiency of PC, nothing compares to it. It's been possible to build a brand new "PS4 killer" machine, a decent 1080p system in other words, for less than 300 bucks for years now. Add another 200 bucks, and you get a great machine for 1080p/60fps, with every extra hundred improving the service life and/or capabilities significantly. I'd never go above 1000 bucks tho'.

>>375918635
You can also pay shops to assemble your parts for you if you're too much of a chicken to do it yourself
>>
>>375918635
no, you should only do it if youve done it before. people who've never done something should never do that thing
>>
>>375919479
...and how do you EVER get to do it, if you never actually do it then?

Seriously, I build my first PC when I was like 15.
>>
>>375918635
Are you stupid? Then yeah buy a premade.
>>
>>375918635
You'll be fine. One thing inexperienced user can fuck up is CPU installation, but you need to be really retarded to do that. The rest feels like LEGO.
>>
>>375919531
Yes and now you have autism and can't grasp basic sarcasm. Well done anon
>>
>>375919531
i was being facetious. same though, mustve been 14/15, it really is just like lego
>>
>>375918635
It's literally Lego
>>
>>375919336
stop saying it's like building legos
it isnt
lego pieces are interchangeable meaning you can stick anything on anything
computer parts have very specific ways of installation and can be easily broken if forced by inept first time builders

just read the manual and dont force anything into place
>>
>>375919708
>RAM NOT DETECTED
>>
>>375919708
We didn't say it WAS legos.
>>
>>375919705
Lego these days come in specialised kits with nothing else to build except what's on the box

Building a PC is more like knex.
>>
>>375920030
Thanks for bringing up a bunch of memories of bruising my hand playing with knex.
>>
Yes, I built my first pc a couple months ago. Just watch a build guide on YouTube and if you're that scared just buy the same exact parts they have so you can just copy the video. Just don't be retarded and wear socks while building on carpet or something
>>
>>375918863
Buy AMD then. They use PGA ZIF sockets.
>>
>>375918635
Yes.
Its easy unless you like to use socks on a dry room over a carpet.

Building it will take you 10 minutes tops.

You will have more problems installing windows than building it.

Read logicalincrements.com .

>>375920448
>installing windows
It's like you actually enjoy microsofts cock up your ass.
>>
>>375918635
That's stupid. Any vehicle is unsafe to drive too some degree. The only 100% safe vehicle is stationary one.
>>
>>375919708
stop being retarded. everything is connected logically, and just clicks together like legos
>>
>>375920516
the pins on PGA CPUs are pretty tough. Much tougher than LGA pins.
>>
>>375920612
No shit. Thing is, this one is especially unsafe. I hope you realize why saying that is stupid.
>>
>>375918635
It's not very hard, but it can be a bit daunting the first time maybe because you'll need a lot more force to put RAM in sometimes than you would think. You might go "Am I going to break this thing?", but no, you are doing it right.

When you apply thermal paste, put a drop in the middle that is not much bigger than a pea. The fan that comes on top will spread it out. You really don't need a lot of thermal paste and unless you take the fan off you don't have to replace it either, it's only there to fill in the slightest uneven surface
>>
>>375920612
Did you even read what the faults are? That's not "oh you might get into crash", it's "Things you need in order to control the vehicle don't work"
>>
>>375920612
Good thing safety is a scale, not binary
>>
>>375920612
stupid
>>
>>375920823
I'm just telling that merely stating that vehicle is unsafe to drive is pointless and banal. He should have went with "DUMBASS IF YOU DRIVE IT YOU'RE FUCKING GONER MORON" or so
>>
>>375920612
That's stupid. Any cannon is unsafe to fire too some degree. The only 100% safe cannon is one that isn't being fired.
>>
>>375920612
>>375921138
well that's some completely worthless input, thanks anon
