Hi there,
So I'm going to attempt to build a PC for the first time and have some questions about the components I plan on buying. I'm looking to build a mid-range PC that can handle new games but doesn't need maxed out graphics. After some reading I put together the below list of components and have some questions.
Is there any compatibility issues or any other concerns I should consider with these parts?
If there is any recommendations on getting the price down that would be great as well, I may not need exactly what think I need.
Would looking at used parts be risky?
What’s the degree of difficulty for putting together a system like this, it doesn’t seem too bad but I’ve never done it.
Picking the right parts can be kind of intimidating as a first timer, so any feedback would be great.
