Hello, I am currently looking for tips and tricks on when building budget computers, I have a list I made on pcpartpicker but I'd appreciate it if you gave me better alternatives or options to change or add to the list. I am an amateur at computer building so please ignore the many mistakes I have made. Thanks in advance
