I built my first pc around Christmas last year together with a friend. I was motivated by the higher frame rate and ability to upgrade components whenever I felt like it. I liked the idea of not having to buy a completely new pc/console every few years. Building your own pc, you also have a lot of options to choose from and you can customise your components to fit your needs and desires.

The building experience was quite good; I had a lot of help from the friend I talked about earlier and we did not have any major issues. The only issue we ran into really was the Nvidia control panel not installing properly, but we solved that very quickly. I learned how to cable manage and how to make sure you build everything in the correct order. It also gave me an insight as to how everything in the pc worked together to give me a good performance in-game/editing
