Hello everyone, I am interested in coding a game with a small “team” of friends and will be needing a capable, affordable and durable PC (for the sake of not having to spend $ on more hardware anytime soon). I have entry level experience (little to none) on PCs, yet plan on learning (as I have been) what I can towards ordering, building and operating my own PC from scratch. Any helpful suggestions, comments and ideas are welcome (I’ll probably need all the help I can get…), thank you!
Details are listed below.
