Building a gaming PC used to be a much tougher job that involved picking parts from various retailers, getting a tech-savvy friend to help, and diagnosing issues with one’s build in case they mixed up the instructions. It is now much easier to build a DIY PC as PC part manufacturers make it easier to install hardware. Precise instructions and a plethora of online information (often in video format) assist first-time and intermediate-level PC builders attempting to do so on their own.
