Build your own Computer Recommended Parts Lists
We've been teaching people how to build computers
for 6 years. Our goal is to educate you to the point where you can
choose your own parts list to build your own computer from scratch.
This method has worked for thousands of customers. However we are
often asked for a place to start. Some recommended parts. Components
we would use to build a PC today.
Keep in mind that this is just a starting point. We encourage you to choose different parts. The video lessons will give you the knowledge you need to make yourself a truely custom computer.
You can use an AMD CPU and motherboard as well. Again, this is only a starting point for creating your parts list.
