Planning on building a PC, anything I should know? (beehaw.org)

I'm planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I'd like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It's also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

I found PCPartPicker really useful when I last built a PC:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

It helps you pick compatible parts, and links to sites you can buy them from. I'd still shop around for the best price after building your list(s), but it's a great place to start.

Ah, thank you! I've already been using PCPartPicker, but it has been an AMAZING help. I don't think I could handle the stress of making a parts list without it
