Things you wish you did with your PC, but didnt think of in time.

I had a very nice custom built PC from 2007. In 2012 I sold it for cheap. If I didn't sell it, I could have upgraded the CPU to a Intel C2Q Q9650, 8GB of RAM and a GTX 660. Instead I bought a laptop. Now I'm stuck with this, and I should be. I could have paid waaay less and had a killer machine right to this day.

Wish i had never purchased anything from Sentey (Case)

Wish i had researched more about displays

Wish i hand't spend so much on the mobo (classic noob mistake)

Oh my gosh! I almost bought from Sentey but luckily the case I wanted from them wasn't even listed in any site to buy.

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, I can't explain what class of shit was the case i got, i mean, they sell it as gaming gear but it has NO room, i couldn't put fans on top cause of the mobo's mosfets and i had to saw a chunk off to acomodate a thin 120mm rad. Included fans are useless, the whole fucking thing was fragile as fuck, terrible experience

I did the research and got an mATX arc mini from fractal design. I have ten fans in the damn thing on radiators alone. Still space for more things in the case.

One noob mistake, buying low quality shit from shitty brands. Here in latin america they bring lots of Sentey stuff cause there's not much variety, but it's shit.

I thought a case was a case (So I got the cheapest one)

My friends said my PSU sucked so they chose a different one (It sucks lots)

I love Fractal Design. You made a good choice.

Actually, the Arc Mini is my absolute favorite mATX case. I would have gotten it if I didn't go for the Core 500.

Well, from wasting money and having to redo your build. I admit when the rad didn't fit i may have cried a bit...
