A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I'd like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It's also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

I would absolutely use “PC Part Picker” because as you assemble the various components, that site will tell you if there are incompatibilities. For instance whether a power supply will fit in the case.

And if you don’t have someone to bounce ideas off of, this is a pretty good site that was recommended to me to help narrow your choices.

I second Logical Increments, it's great.

I've used Logical Increments for a couple builds and liked it a lot. I didn't copy their recipe verbatim, but you get some good starting points both on compatibility and cost.
