I have seen some people that just paste links and the product they will be using and sometimes this can get a little confusing, so I taught I would put together a tutorial on how to show off your future rig Properly. 

 

1. Navigate to PcPartPicker.com:

You could much more easily just share the permalink.

very nice, but I still think just posting a link to PCpartpicker is perfectly acceptable, as long as they don't keep asking WHAT to get for their ENTIRE build :D

True, but still its one extra click and a few hundred KB of your bandwidth!

You could use the bbcode without an account.

I agree with @megadarkwood, it's so much easier to have everything listed than not.

Besides, if (including myself) someone wants an opinion/advice on their build, shouldn't they provide every possible (easy to use) info

That's what the bbcode is for. The thing is you don't need an account to use it but the OP says to go make an account for it.

it makes it easier to make changes on a later date because they are saved to your account 

and you can have multiple lists
