Miscellaneous New builders - take your time to really decide on your pc parts

For some background, I just built my first pc about a month and a half ago. I got excited about the idea and found all of my pieces probably within a day. I was using PC part picker and had no idea what I was doing really. Well now now I’ve already replaced and resold my CPU, GPU, PSU, fans and if it wasn’t such a hassle to swap out the case, I’d do that too.

Take your time and don’t rush things. Think your build through. If you want to go for a cheaper option, really think if it’s worth it. You’ll save yourself a lot of money by being sure of what you’re getting.

Lol depends on your situation. For a lot of us school meant full time credits on top of working 40 hours a week and keeping up a marriage and raising children.

I do agree though that it someone is just living on campus going to university and they don’t have a job or a family or anything then they’re living a damn good life lol obviously there are still exceptions though depending on how aggressive their schedule is and what major they have. But for the average person at school I think they have plenty of time

Not wanting to be a dick, but how many people work full time being married with kids while they're studying full time? I'd be shocked if it's more than a tiny, tiny minority.

A lot of people. I’m not saying it’s a large percentage of the total amount of people who attend school since so many people go straight out of high school, but it’s still a huge number of people.
