Building Gaming PC
I was wondering if anyone has any good resources for building your own gaming rig at home?
I'm at NewEgg right now watching their tutorial videos, and was thinking it might be good practice to watch a few different tutorials, if only to get a good idea of how everything goes together in general. I also wanted to gauge which parts I should be investing in and what the differences are, as flat-out reviews have a lot of technical speak that is just getting me all confused.
We've had a series of PC crashes around the house this week and so are in the market for some new PCs. I don't paticularly want to shell out another $1000 for a laptop with mediocre performance and would much rather use that money to invest in a rig that I could upgrade/wouldn't have a bunch of prepackaged software/might live longer than 3-4 years. But I've never built a computer myself, and the only person who I know who has is 3 hours away (sister's husband).
Any advice or resources is appreciated!
