DIY PC Build #1: $300 Skylake Build

First DIY PC Build - ~$300 Skylake Build
Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve always wanted to build my own computer. The concept of customizing all the parts and putting them together one by one was very appealing. Since then, I’ve read countless amounts of reviews, and watched numerous Youtube videos to gather the information necessary to build my own computer. As a result, I’ve gained a lot of information, but I also realized that budget computer parts were often missing from reviews. Also, in the sea of information that is known as the World Wide Web, there can be many false and misleading reviews, set up by manufacturers to encourage shoppers to purchase their goods. This was very upsetting to me and played an important role for me in starting this blog. I wanted to provide honest reviews about the parts I’m going to be using for my builds. I will also be sharing how the parts perform in the long run and see if it holds up to everyday use. Hopefully this blog can benefit the people looking for true honest reviews.

Now onto the actual build. This DIY PC build is my first time making a computer, so I decided to keep it on a pretty strict budget. As a result of this, I was slightly frustrated at all of the poorly reviewed parts out there but managed to find some decent parts. I will be periodically updating this post and letting everyone know how each part performs and also how much work the computer can actually handle. SO STAY TUNED!
