lmao this comment is pathetic. Putting together a pc is not 'building your own electronics', its plugging parts into marked slots. Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.

I AM NOT INTERESTED!! I don't want an Ikea version of gaming machine. I have zero desire in doing it.

Which components into what slot? What brand and models? That's enough for me to avoid it. I don't want to do it, even if it's easy

LOL. "I am disinterested in doing [a thing] that I don't have to do."

"Hurr hurr, ur pathetic."

Good fucking christ, this person isn't into building computers. The opinion expressed is utterly harmless and their personal preference. You are free to build all the computers you want.

Its literally easier than most lego sets these days.

Oh, yeah, anything can be super easy for people are interested in and experienced with doing that thing.

Building a computer properly is way more than "plugging parts into marked slots," and your comment is disingenuous at best. RAM timings, socket types, cooling selection, power supply selection, wire routing and dressing, version/generation conflicts, Red vs Blue, will the GPU even fit in this computer case, counterfeit parts... And this is all before the thing is plugged in.

PCPartPicker.com exists, handles all this for you with giant "you missed something" red text if something won't work, and is one of the most commonly suggested beginner tools. If someone's complaining about being told to build their own, theyve been told about that tool

People get scared of a very simple task because people like you spread nonsense that makes it sound hard
