Hello Linus Forums. . .ヾ(´･ω･｀) ! ! I've been watching Linustechtips for at least 2 years now. After learning so much about almost everything under the sun when it comes to a PC (Hardware,Software, etc). It made me finaly decide to build my own. This is my current problem. Its been a decade since my last personal build, 2002 if i remember correctly (Could be earlier). It was back when Pentum 4 was the i7, the transition of CRT to LCD/Flat Screen and the rise of lazer mice and the fall of the old ball one. I even remember having a white brick thing for my PSU (I dont remember if it was the PSU or not but it was out side the Tower and its what I turn on first before turing on the main power of my PC). I have NO experience what so ever. Be it bulding, choosing parts that fit well and buying the parts it self. So yes, I've been just purchasing a Laptop for the past decade to feed my needs. First thing is first, when watching Linus talk about PC builds, he always emphazied the "Need" of the consumer when buying/builing a PC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD - Updated 02/24/2015 I would want this Computer to have the flexibility to be upgraded when need be. I've been planning this for quite some time now. And here is what I have come up with. Final Phase: SYSTEM PART LIST Q: Any parts I still need and or lack? Q: Any parts things not needed? Q: Any parts that are better than what I have picked? Q: As for a monitor I'm quite happy my Samsung HDTV "24" is still holding up even after 3 years (Plugged onto my Laptop via HDMI). Do I need a new one? And if so, do I need two? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUDGET [spoiler=Has been addressed.] I live/Stay in Canada for now. I might be going back home to Japan in the end of the year though. Since this would be my first build in a loong time. I'd like to invest in it quite a bit. So my current budget is $2500-3000 Canadian - Hopfuly that also covers having tax added already (If anything less and save some money would be amazing) Q: Are there any places/sites where I can purchse these all at once place to reduce shipping costs? Q: Knowing prices and all, is there any place/site which offers Financing (Like a monthly payment)? This is must if available. Q: Tips on getting these all organized if buying them all in one place is not an opption? Note: If these don't apply, is just getting an Alienware PC (Since its the only Financable System I found on the internet) the last option? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUILD PROCESS Once parts have been decided, purchased and arrived at my place. Q: What are the things needed to start the build? Q: Steps in building Q: Tips and tricks in building P.S: if given the chance once everything is set in motion I would give some photo's of the whole build process ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please and Thank You. . .（人´∀`*）! !

"Some more tweaks in software, but hardware installation is done"

Many thanks to everyone who helped me through every step from Part choosing all the way to software installations. Thank you also to @Linus for providing me with the many resources to make this Build an enjoyable one.

I think this thread is used all its usefulness. Maybe making it a long one doesn't help.

Going to make a new thread on others since it has already done what its Original purpose was.

Once again thanks everyone for helping me from start to finish. Really enjoyed ever part of it. From the deciding which parts, to purchasing and finally building.

Thank You All..(*≧▽≦) ! !
