People tell me all the time that building your own PC is the best way to go but how do you do this? Is there like a site you have to go to if so which is the best for gaming PC's?

Thanks to all in advance who can help.

There are lots of sites you can google to find out how to build your own pc. It basically boils down to, what your budget it, and understanding where to spend your money to get the best performance. Then spending a few hours researching all the parts, to make sure they all work together.

The first PC I built, I didn't spend alot of money on. My 2nd PC, I decided to spend some more money on and ended up getting unsupported ram, which then took me a few more hours to fix (Had to replace the ram)....

I'm now on my 9th PC that I've built myself, it took me about 3-4 days worth of researching to get everything the way I wanted. Then it took about another 2 weeks (on and off), tweaking everything till it was stable at the speeds I wanted.

How to build a computer.
As for which parts is the best for gaming, it really depends on what you budget is, and it changes every year, sometimes every other month.

I compare the stuff and look at the discription if it will fit, if it does and it's not something no one ever heard about, I just buy it. Then it's time to puzzle!

its fine if you wanna do it all by yourself, but really, go to a local computer shop, pick the parts, and ask them to build it for you.

that way you can be sure it works fine, and you'll have nothing to worry about (most of the time)

I first thought that building my own computer would be difficult, but it is actually pretty easy. Just look at the online guides and the motherboard manual.
