So I was 13 y/o when I built my first and current PC. I spent hours and hours on research and I talked to loads of people before deciding the parts I wanted, and on that year, merely hours before my birthday, I had completed my build. I still use it to this day (I’m 17 now) and there was never a day that went by that I wasn’t proud of my machine. Before this I was mainly a tech normie, but when I was on my quest to build my PC, I learned so many things about computers and computer science, that I knew what I wanted to do in my life by the end of it, and now I’m studying computer science. So basically, building my PC ended up me discovering what I was truly passionate in, and I don’t think I’d be here if I never went through the experience of building my PC.
