Tfw the only reason I have relied on pre-built desktops for my entire life instead of actually learning to build one is...

>Projecting

I got a prebuilt when it was 500 bucks cheaper to get than buying parts individually. Added a CPU cooler immediately and about to add a new PSU. I'm pretty sure this shit PSU is about to fry my shit if I don't replace it soon. Can use both of them when I eventually build a new rig.

>ask nerds for a build
>order parts on amazon
>pay local PC repair place to assemble it
thats all it takes to have something that's not a sweatbox that surrounds a 3090 and a 12900k with cheapo ass components

i never understood this weird obsession with building PCs, how often do you guys change PCs, i've had the same one for about 7 years and i have no peoblem running modern games on it

It's not 2010 any longer, grandpa. No one gives a fuck about you using a prebuilt or not.

You never said you literally did the thing though. You said that it’s not complicated and it’s apparently easy to do, but you never said yourself that you have done it. For all I know, you only know such a thing because you watched somebody on jewtube build a pc, or you had your friend build it for you. Maybe take this as a sign you should stop larping as a therapist on a taiwanese farming forum.

It was one of the best feelings I've ever had in my life. I know the experts here know that PC building is relatively simple and is like putting legos together, but it was a rare sense of accomplishment that when I was holding that screwdriver that I actually felt like a man. I'm writing this shitty blog to tell anons who need to read this that you really need to build that PC yourself.

>You said that it’s not complicated and it’s apparently easy to do, but you never said yourself that you have done it
I thought that was implied, but okay I've built PCs, many times. Have so since I was a child. I'm not saying this like it's something to brag about because it isn't. It's absurdly simple and only people with a pathological aversion to wading outside of their dangerously shallow pool of skills would treat it as something they don't have time to "learn". Given how deeply entrenched technology is in our lives it's seriously on par with not knowing how to change a tire at this point, and I wouldn't trust a grown man who can't do that to hit the bowl when he takes a piss.

Stop wearing your crippling insecurity on your sleeve and people will stop pointing at it.

so, assuming you aren't a fucking retard that's buying a Dell or HP (garbage cooling, non-standard cases/PSUs/etc, you can't even fucking unfuck them because the parts aren't standard)
as long as you're buying something made with all off-the-shelf parts, the only real issue is value for money (and occasionally, how good/bad the company that built the machine is, I've seen some shit where you'd need to take everything apart and put it back together yourself to fix it because it was assembled by a retard, also replace the PSU because they put the cheapest, shittiest one inside after putting $1k in parts elsewhere)

Genuinely proud of you, user.

>deepthroating the b8

yeah at 1080p 60fps if you're lucky dumbass, and wow neat you never understood having a hobby or making enough money to have disposable income to put towards it after already owning a home, neat, don't worry too much about it I doubt you ever will

It's strange that I have never bought all parts and assembled a completely new PC, yet I have upgraded it so often over the years that 100% of the parts have changed at least twice.

>Dell
>garbage cooling
>you can't even fucking unfuck them because the parts aren't standard
Don't fucking remind me. I had to get some janky hack that now only exists on wayback machine and go arch autist on the command line just to get the fans to go up to 100% on a Dell laptop that kept overheating because they don't let the user access the fan controls. Fucking why? There is absolutely no reason to do that. They had to go out of their way to remove that basic functionality. They actually put fucking effort into making an objectively shittier product. Those absolute cunts. Yes I'm mad.

Good job bro. Also don't worry, if the thermal paste falls over a bit its not technically an issue. Just clean it. If it touches where the pins should go, it doesn't do anything either technically. There's videos proving this but it is a mess and you should still always be careful.

thanks m8s. life is still shit in general but at least can emulate whatever I want now and run 500 units on modded warband
