Building a computer is fun, but it can be tricky, here are some tips to help you out after building a computer of my own. You might think that only super smart people can build computers, but that simply is not true.  Everyone can build a computer. Although It might take a couple of days to do some research.


First you will probably ask, why should I build a computer?  I can just buy one. Well you would be right. But people like to build computer for many different reasons. one reason is that it is usually cheaper. The more a computer costs the cheaper it is to build it, in most cases. Another reason is because some people find it fun to do. There is also an advantage to building a computer. You can build exactly what you want. I built my own computer because it was cheaper than buying it and I thought it would be fun to do.


If you decide you do want to build a computer the first thing you should do is think about what do you want to use your computer for? If you just want to do some light browsing and for watching some videos it might be better to just buy a computer. But if you want to play a lot of games and make videos on youtube then you should probably build one. The next thing you should do is look at your budget. How much can you spend on this computer? Remember that you can’t just consider the computer for the budget and that you should include monitor, keyboard, and a mouse.


After finding my budget I started researching what parts I need for my computer. Not all parts are compatible. There are many different websites that helped me keep track of all the parts I wanted, how much they cost and can even told me if the parts are compatible or not.


Once I got all my parts I looked  up a guide on how to build a computer. This was the easiest part for me. Hopefully you can learn from my experience of building a computer and maybe you can even build one yourself.
