#how to build a pc

If you want to build a PC but are having trouble navigating all the random letters and numbers, stats, figuring out what part goes with another, etc. then Logical Increments is a great place to start!
https://www.logicalincrements.com/
All you need to do is pick a tier based on your budget! You can see the total cost by hovering over the tier name or all the way over on the right, and all the parts within a tier are picked out to be compatible with each other and work well. Hovering over a tier also gets you a nifty little summary of how the build stacks up for different types of workloads (office work, gaming, streaming, etc.)
Each tier has a few different alternatives for each part, and you can mouse over them for a picture and a brief description that gives you an overview of what that parts capabilities are so you can better understand if it meets your needs, or if you want to go with a better option.
Scrolling down past the table of build tiers there are expandable boxes for each type of part that gives you a description of what that part actually is and does, some tips for shopping for that part, and more detailed information if you're curious!
If you've picked out some parts but are curious what other options might be out there, want to do some price comparison, run the list by a more computer-y friend, etc. then PC Part Picker is another great resource!
https://pcpartpicker.com/
It gives you a handy-dandy tracker for the components you've selected for your build. You can click on any component category to select a part, then it does the comparison shopping between the different available merchants for that part (that it is aware of), keeps track of total power usage, has some built-in checks for compatibility between parts, etc. If you click on any particular part, it also gives you a price history chart at the different tracked merchants, so you can figure out if you're getting a fair price. If you end up wanting to swap a part out, by default it filters for only parts compatible with the rest of your build, so you can look through the options without worrying too much about that!
Hopefully all that helps a bit!
why is shopping for computer shit so difficult like what the hell is 40 cunt thread chip 3000 processor with 32 florps of borps and a z12 yummy biscuits graphics drive 400102XXDRZ like ok um will it run my programmes

Alex and my farmer Cosmo (he/him)
#my replacement pen came in today ican finally start working on artfight attacks YAYYYYY#ive been clawing at the walls itching to get my ideas out for weeks#i drew alex with wavy hair in the second drawing bc i got his dialogue where he stops using hair gel and i hc he has naturally#wavy hair ^_^ i think it goes well with him softening up as u get to knw him.. now im just trying to work up the courage to give#him a bouquet lol. i keep flip flopping on whether i wanna play this file thru my oc or just fuck it and go self insert#but i like building little ideas in my mind for how my farmer would fit in pelican town and how they run their farm so i think ill keep thi#an oc thing. i have another file on pc since 1.6 isnt released for mobile yet so thatll be my self insert thing where plan on#shooting my shot with harvey. HES CUTE.. I LIKE HIM#cosmo seems pretty deadpan but only bc hes hardly fazed by anything and after working at joja for like 4 years. hes#desperate to touch grass. i think his personality would bounce off well with alex's since he comes off as arrogant to get a reaction#frm others and then u have cosmo whos like 😐👍. i like to think itd drive him up the wall LOL#he gets more of a reaction out of cosmo when he shows him his soft side which encourages him not to front all the time <3#my art#myart#my oc#oc#sdv farmer#sdv oc#stardew valley#sdv#sdv alex#alex mullner#doodles

YOU LIKE WHEN PEOPLE OVER-ANALYZE YOUR ART? OKAY BET, here's everything I loved about your last JayVik
The paint swatches on the wall, the 'desk here' sign, and the computer tower just out with the monitor face down on the floor (?) are impeccable
The blueprint and jar of random screws, because of course they design and build their own furtniture
Vik's mismatched socks and both their hair growing out as they get more comfortable
The WEDDING RINGS, ofc
The fashion is so on brand and just so comfy and casual? No more suits for them!!!
Viktor basking in the sun and Jayce looking at him like he IS the sun.
TL;DR please never stop creating. There is love in your artwork and it's infectious
omg anon weird way to propose but yes absolutely
#ramble#completely seriously this made me cry a bit#yes their pc is just loose#as someone who threw out the box mine came in and just wrapped it in blankets to go in the van when i moved. yeah#originally it was a bag of screws like you get when you buy furniture until i realised that didn't make sense#because why would they buy it when they can just build it themselves exactly how they need it#and obviously they just have a jar of loose screws from various things#their entire workshop is just a slightly more organised version of the Dad Drawer where they've got any random thing exactly when needed

Been thinking a lot abt being a dragon with a big kobold population in your lair. It's like the sims but better, help them build cool houses and gather resources for your lil guys to keep expanding. You get the richest hoard in the realms in exchange for it! And they don't even mind when you burn shit down or fucking rampage through about something they just yip excitedly!!
#kobolds and dragons#sighs longingly i want that life n a dragon sized gaming pc and im all good#maybe even let some adventurers move in#occasionally go rip apart a tyrannical ruling body (with ur teeth ofc) and oh boy better building materials!!#best part is the free delivery of stupid knights and evil wizards to chomp#tha lyfe#waiteait they gotta install a dragon sized hot tub too shit how could i forget. gotta get a renowned architect wizard up in here

baba biing bang more angel art
Babette and Genie have like a weird agreement that neither of them is allowed to be alone with Angel cause they get so insanely jealous that one of them is getting more time with her than the other. Babsie went and broke that rule cause she just had to braid Anel's hair and tell her about crochet (part of the like 15 idea long list of Angel art.)
Genie is not happy at this sight and they're about to brawl in Babsie's bedroom which looks like Lisa Frank had explosive diarrhea in it. And now Angel herself is trapped with two homos who are totally willing to romance her slower than a snail. Babs has the patience of god himself and Genie doesn't even know she likes Angel so it's slow burn 80,000 chapters just to lightly kiss on the cheek at the end and very vaguely say I like you but so indirectly.
@ladyofalabyrinth teehee it begins. the never-ending artwork is slowly dribbling in.
#dollie-rambles#angel the vengeful#dol pc#look at these lesbians who probably arent actually lesbians#but they're defineltely gay and willing to do this slow cooker style#also that poor green alien bunny plush is being crushed to death by angel#they're building her up slowly and carefully with a whole long complicated step by step plan but each step takes two months#i could actually write out my entire idea of how they take like a solid year or two to get Angel to justslwoly accept them into her life#because they ARE willing to wait it out and go unbelievably slow with this#but that would make me look more insane than I already am

one thing i like about rook's role as a "hero" in the DA universe is that while the other protagonists could get a discount at a shop or a favor from someone in a community by way of "don't you know who this is? they're the hero of ferelden/champion of kirkwall/inquisitor and herald of andraste, savior of the world!!", rook could get a discount at a shop or a favor from someone in a community by way of "don't you know who this is? they helped oscar with his cart yesterday and found emilia's missing daughter, 'least we could do is return the favor!"
#obviously this isn't set in stone and somewhat dependent on how you play your PCs#but what i'm saying is that I like how rook doesn't have some grand fancy title designating them as the Savior#they do work on the ground and build up the communities#and out of all four games i think veilguard incentivizes this kind of work the most by way of the faction reputation system#idk this isn't the best way to say it i don't think but hopefully y'all get what i'm trying to say#datv#marie speaks

Shane’s still a little mean to me like I know he warms up to u as#u get to know him but I’m not there yet.. and I’m just not all that interested in Maru sadly#it’s not just the marriage candidates its almost all the NPCs especially Granny Evelyn SHES SO NICE?? shes fun to talk to I love giving#her my best flowers.. I also like saying hi to Willy and Marnie they’re nice!!! I love Marnie’s smile it’s so cute#I’m also fond of gus after seeing Linus’ 2 heart event that was so sweet of him… mister gus I’ll give u my best ingredience……..#I’m too busy trying to finish the community centre and make money before I go around marrying anyone or building up friendship#so I haven’t had a lot of time to get to know everyone ;w; I’m trying to trigger the wizards heart events now that I’m at like 9 hearts#with him cuz I wanna be able to move my buildings around#I actually have 2 saves rn one on my brothers pc and one on iOS. but the one on iOS is cosmos file and it just playing as him as a character#not as myself and I think he would marry Alex. but my pc save is my personal file so I’m marrying Harvey#until my pen gets fixed I’ll be drawing at a snails pace pairing the stupid thing but Im making cosmo a ref definitely#I kinda wanna get to know Pam too.. she’s like rough around the edges but in a jaded way I wanna know what she’s like yk#stardew valley#puppy plays sdv#sdv#Stardew#yapping

one of my fav things about watching older shows in an at-the-time contemporary setting is seeing all the old tech that was a part of everyday life. it's so fascinating how much is now obsolete but was so incredibly important for day to day use by people from all walks of life during that time period.
#lineko.txt#im so enchanted by the mainframe computers that make an appearance in columbo every now and then#all the analog video and audio stuff#i've only ever used one typewriter in my life#and even that typewriter was incredibly advanced for what was the norm at the time#i wish i was more technologically inclined bc it fascinates me#i've been watching a bunch of pc building stuff too and like even within the past decade the advancements are insane#how do you keep up with all the information of advancing standards

When i was younger I used to read a lot because obviously, I was a kid, I liked learning shit.
But instead of reading about like animals or something normal ish I decided to read an entire novel (which was mostly for kids) on immortality, it’s history and its future. And I think that was part of why I’m like this.
#other books included how to build a death lazer from an old PC (legitimate tutorial. also a choldrens book)#history of female pirates (very much not for children)#And my favourite ‘The government is tracking you and it is scary’ for children and unpleasantly true

that post about owning a camera and playing board games being bourgeois is so funny given how many people on here are into pc gaming, which is notorious for being stupidly expensive even at the low end
#'how to build your first entry-level gaming pc for ONLY $1500!!!'#inb4 someone pulls out the 'actually it's pretty affordable if you only want to play csgo at 1080p 60fps#like you can get a perfectly workable if somewhat cheugy camera setup going for the price of a graphics card these days
