So, I have a lot of spare parts lying around in my house so I have decided to build a low end gaming PC. This should be fun.

Hey everyone! Looking forward to be a part of this forum! I have been into computers since 2005 when I accidentally changed the color settings on a monitor to 16 colors. In 2007, I got my first decent PC with and AMD Athlon 64 CPU. That PC lasted me (with RAM and GPU upgrades along the way) until 2015. I am now typing on an Asus laptop which is pretty decent. I am soon going to build a PC for the first time and I can't wait to share my experiences with you guys. Once again, I am hyped to join the community.
