I’m planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I’d like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It’s also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

I found PCPartPicker really useful when I last built a PC:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/
It helps you pick compatible parts, and links to sites you can buy them from. I’d still shop around for the best price after building your list(s), but it’s a great place to start.
Ah, thank you! I’ve already been using PCPartPicker, but it has been an AMAZING help. I don’t think I could handle the stress of making a parts list without it
But don’t forget your local microcenter! (If it exists, of course.
I didn’t know micro center existed, thank you! I believe I do have one in driving distance as well
I’d agree. I’ve built dozens of computers over the years and these days I always use PCPartPicker as the starting point for my builds.
I used relied on this for my last 3 builds. In the most recent one, photos of certain board, cooler, and case configurations were fantastic because it visually showed me if things would actually fit together.
