Think before you start

I know you just want to get started. But take some time to plan this.

1. First things first, are you sure about this? Don't waste money if you don't really want to do this! Its easy to rush into this but it will cost you a lot of money and it is time consuming.
2. Now that you are sure, think about what your going to use your computer for. I built mines for Gaming, so i needed a good graphics card etc. Your computer might turn out to be very powerful but you might never use all that power. Only buy parts that you need!
3. Could buying a pc be a better option for me - this sometimes the case, so do some research in to computers on the high street.
   
4. How much are you willing to spend, typical you will spend £500 - £700.
   

Now with the basic planning done, we can make a shopping list!
