Answer:
I had long thought about it, but I could never justify investing in a desktop PC. I feared it would mostly end up sitting idle at my desk, as its value and performance continue to depreciate. “I’m better off buying a beefy laptop,” I kept telling myself. But I was wrong all along.

It’s been a little over a month since I gathered the courage to put together a rig, and I couldn’t be happier about my choice. It’s not only been a pleasure to use it for work, but it’s also rekindled my love for gaming, which has been a refreshing addition to my daily routine.
As fun as it was to assemble my very first PC, there were quite a few things that went wrong in the process. In this piece, I wanted to share some of those hiccups, and also offer some tips on how to avoid them.
To be clear, this isn’t an all-encompassing instructable on how to build a PC — it’s merely a few tips on how to approach the process. You’ll still have to do most of the legwork yourself.
