If you’re a regular reader of Maximum PC, you’ll know we have a soft spot for PC Part Picker (http:// pcpartpicker.com). It’s a fantastic website that takes the hard work out of putting together prospective PC builds. Not only does it alert you to any incompatibilities, but it shows you the best prices for each component you want to use, plus stats, measurements, and ratings for everything. There are handy build guides for every budget, and community showcases so you can view and rate your fellow enthusiasts’ work. It’s required reading for anyone looking to build a PC today.
But that doesn’t mean it’s the only resource at your disposal when it comes to putting together your next build. There are plenty of other places you can go, whether you’re in the initial planning stages or looking to fix an issue post-build. With so much help available on the Internet, now is a fantastic time to build a PC, knowing the help you need is just a few clicks away.
It may sound obvious, but one place we can’t recommend enough is YouTube. It’s stacked full of PCbuilding guides, with plenty of experts offering their own tips. It’s particularly useful if you’re staring at a poorly translated or hopelessly vague manual and wondering how your components are meant to fit together. After all, it’s fine being told how something should be installed, but seeing someone else do it can be so much more helpful. When you’re spending your hard-earned cash on a new computer, you need to make sure it’s put together properly, and checking YouTube is a great way to ensure that happens.
