I now have a hot new system, built to MY specs (not anyone else's) that blows my 15 year old rickety system away. (I know, low bar, but I've used others newer systems and mine is at least as fast) Your style of presenting, and your calm "can do" attitude is exactly what I needed. Again, THANK YOU.

[@AyanogoatjiKiyotaka]

@@user-qo9bt1sc7t so basically all the parts you need are: 1. Cpu 2. Gpu (optional, you can use a cpu with intergreted graphics to save some money but make sure to check if it has it) 3. Motherboard (make sure it supports your cpu, eg: amd motherboard for amd cpu and vice versa with intel) 4. Power supply (powers all the components in your pc, make sure to read reviews before buying one) 5. Ram 6. Storage 7. Case (outer shell that holds all the parts) 8. Cooler (optional, some cases have built-in fans) I suggest doing research on all the individual parts and look up some tutorials on yt on how to choose parts. Im not experienced in building PCs either but hope this at least helped a little.
