I got 1.5k to splurge on a PC
I only have a 3 weeks until I move out, and I rather have the PC now
Should I get my uncle to help me build one or go to Frys and get one
I have 0 experience on building a PC, so there is some trouble with that

| You can "build" a PC. You can custom choose all of the parts and whatnot and have your local BestBuy build it for you at a cheap price. That's what my brother is doing right now. |

PC building is lego with wires just make sure all the parts you want are compatible and the case you choose can accommodate them there are plenty of premade builds on sites like pcpartpicker if you dont know where to start |

| I had zero experience, I watched a few videos, and then I built it. It isn't rocket science. |

obviously dont just jump in to it but PC building is easy do a bit of research on how to not fry your components and stuff |

| Buy parts, watch linus tech tips for like 2 hours, find wooden floor with table, touch metal case every few mins, and put components together. |

Don't listen to the person that claims it takes 2 weeks to build, because that is false. I have built my PC and continue adding things on as time passes. It took probably 1 day max (started late one night, went to bed and finished afternoon of the next day) for my first time. All you need to do is be careful not to short anything, some things require force when installing them while others you need to be very careful not to put too much force on. It isn't rocket science as someone put, watch a few YouTube videos and you'll be fine.
I've coached a few people since on building PCs, if you need assistance just hit me up for my Skype or something. |

I'm factoring in time to install drivers and windows updates. That's half the process really lol. |
