Sup /g/angsters.
I'll open by saying I'm just a visitor in need of picking your far superior brains.
So my laptop is literally falling apart (pic related) and I need a new comp. My first thought is that I might as well get my neckbeard ass a desktop, and my second thought is that I might as well build it.
So, /g/, my questions:
-How much money do you typically save by building your own computer?
-What kind of damage can I do for under $500 (poorfag)
-Where do you get the parts/know-how?
-What have I probably not considered?
Thanks, pals.
