How much revenue a time did it take you to build your first PC?

I want to build my self a fast PC with a beautiful graphics card that can easily run game engines like Unreal and Unity, and that I can practice 3D modeling on, and run Photoshop all day with out it freaking out. Practical enough?

My first computer? Well it was 20 minutes from my house and the purchase took 8 minutes.

@xixgun The key word here is build lol

@coffeedimplez I want it to work right, so I have other people build it. Then if it doesn't, I have someone to scream at besides myself.

@Miram Uh which key you ask? Lemme see uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh ALL BECAUSE I YANKED THE ENTIRE THING OFF!!! .... Laptop wouldn't turn on... And there was a bunch of hair and crumbs in there which was a nice reminder of my lazy eat-over-every-electronic-I-own 17 year old self.. I get the feeling that's why it stopped working BUT I AIN'T A GENIUS!!! ┬┴┬┴┤-ᴥ-ʔ/

Putting the parts together, 30min-1hr top. Installing the OS and your software, that's a different story, not to mention a day (minimum) tweaking your video card settings.

@eMortal Hmmm ok

If you want a strong work computer. I’d guesstimate around 900+ USD, but it can all vary a great deal. The last one i built was more than 2000 and well worth it, but years ago.

It will cost around 550$ for a mid range pc, it will be able all application and video games (medium graphic settings)

A high end custom built PC is thousands of dollars easily. It all depends on how well you want it to do those things.

Honestly. If you are spending less than around 700 bucks. You're sorta better off going with a prefab.
