    Ikr? Most places here in the Philippines only have 2 pronged sockets which is kind of a bummer. The thing I find weird is that when I touch my UPS that is plugged in to the power outlet without my PSU connected to it its totally fine. The only time I get shocked is when I start to plug in the PSU to the UPS. Is that normal?

    Ohhh okay, so thats why. Is it normal that when I connect my UPS to the socket and I touch it its fine and it doesn't give me a shock, its only when I plug in the PSU where it gives out a mild shock

    There are no exposed cables touching the case. About the motherboard I'm not sure, have to check it out first. Thanks!

    So I have my first PC and it has a Seasonic S12III 650w 80+ Bronze PSU. While I was trying to remove my desktop speakers I accidentally touched the PSU's screws and gave me a shock, me thinking it was just static build up I tried to touch it again and it gave me a constant shock. So I tried to touch the UPS that its connected to and well it also gave me a shock. The USB ports in front of my case too shocks me. Is it my PSU? or could it be that I use a 3 to 2 prong adapter for my UPS? Since we only have 2 prong power outlets here.

    I first went with Intel as he suggested and picked an i5-9600k. I agreed at first since I don't know much about PC building. But after some extensive research I've decided to go the AMD route with their Ryzen 5 3600. (Mind you I'm in a budget. 1000$), when he heard about my decision he told me this: Translation and currency converted (PHP to USD) "You'll only save 95$ when you switch to AMD" "Then you'll have to buy a GPU" "AMD is cheaper because it has less features than Intel" So should I just stick with Intel? Also he told me that I should only ever go with using 1 RAM stick and never use dual/quad-channelling. (Is this even true? Just to make sure because I've checked all around and they said to utilize dual channelling.)
