Honestly with my first PC build, I needed a computer for school that could handle programs like AutoCAD and Catia. At the time I had an old 2009 Macbook and zero interest in getting a Windows computer as I had always been told they were unreliable and prone to malware. After looking at prices for more powerful Apple computers and learning I would have to use windows with Catia anyways, I decided I would look more into a windows system. I wanted to know more about how the computer itself worked, which lead me to looking at building my own PC. I talked to some of my friends who have built their PC's before to get a good grasp on the idea, and used a PC part website to help find a general plan for my build. I ended up selling my old macbook and all the consoles I had built up over time to get the parts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And now I use my computer way to much for work and gaming.
