yeah, I don't mind going through it if it's simple enough, but I have the feeling it isn't lol...

Yeah, it's time consuming...can't buy everything in ½ hour and expect it'll all be perfect. Need to look at the type of case to fit a motherboard, type of CPU that you can use, type of RAM, do you have all the ports you need, etc...

cuz I know it would be worth it in terms of getting a bang for your buck, but it sounds like I'd have to do a lot of research. too bad I don't have any computer geek buddies lol

This seems like a good build. Don't know what you budget is though...

would probably be at the top of my budget, I don't need something too powerful either. does it require anything else?

np, as i said your best bet is probably a used one from marketplace...if you do that, make sure it wasn't intensively used for mining crypto as it reduces the lifespan of your PC a lot...

P.S. I'd change motherboard and Power supply for your build (at least 650W).

Yeah well, I wouldn't buy a PC from someone that looks shady. Maybe you can check in a PC store where you live as well...might have a good refurbished one for you.

We are still laughing about it to this day.
