Hello, I am a first timer to pc building and i'm admittedly very intimidated. I've wanted a custom pc for years now, but it's finally time to get realistic and make sure my specs are acceptable before ordering. I'm open to any cost effective substitutions as long as it stays under or around $800.
(Sidenote: Is there anything I should be wary of for my first time building? I'm going in educated, but blind in terms of experience. Is the physical building easy to screw up? Is my specifc case roomy enough for my parts? I used pcpartpicker.com to ultimately decide my components. Thank you very much for any assistance or advice given to my thread.)
