I'm not worrying about budget or anything or parts but I don't know whether or not to make one because of time.
Next year I'm going to high school and will be traveling a lot. I just need to know if it would be good to spend the money and get one.
I'm thinking mainly a gaming computer because I use a laptop for work. About 1TB HDD. About 8-16 gb of RAM. A nice graphics card and other things. |

It doesn't take too much time. 2 hours for a first build MAX.
Also make sure the HDD is 3.5", 7200RPM and a reliable brand (Seagate, Western Digital, Samsung)
8GB RAM is more than enough, there is no real difference between 1333mhz, 1600mhz, 1886mhz+ and what not unless you are using an APU

| Sorry, I mean would I have time to actually use it. Getting the parts, waiting for them to come in, and aseembling it isn't a hassle. |

| Well, we can't really say if you'd have time as we do not know you. |
