Hahah, It’s best to build a computer yourself, it’s so benificial.
An Entry-Level computer that can only just play some of the newest games is £500 whereas I am spending £740 and I will be getting 2 graphics cards both with Direct X 11 and 4 gigs of ram. . . it’ll be a quad core blablabla. . . basically really good. xD

@TheZombiePanda yea ive noticed how over expensive buying a comp is!

No. If the motherboard doesn’t have enough power connectors from fans, you can power the fans directly from the computer’s power supply.

if you get a case with 3 fans, like the HAF 932. . . . would i need a special motherboard for them to be powered???

great video. Way more in detail than other videos. and you include how to take caution with the wires which i probably wouldn’t have noticed. Thanks!

@abenjohar The computer I am making will cost 750 pounds which is about $1500. . . The store price would probably be about $2000-2500.

im not sure how much they cost but its cheaper to buy parts and build than buy it from store.

doesn’t cost much, it all depends on what you get for it i. e. cpu specs, ram, etc, but it can be a huge difference in price if you compare it to buying a PC from the store, like Best Buy and such. You’ll save hundreds. Definitely a great way to go
