Whenever I've heard stories about PC builds, I got excited and hoped that not only will I be able to afford to build one, but I will have the courage to even attempt to do it.
\nWorking at Best Buy over the years, I was exposed to technology from every angle. I was fortunate to work with colleagues that had unique interests. Ranging from photography, graphic design, gaming, all the way to music production, I had a resource hub. Exploring many of those interests, the one that intimidated me the most was building computers. To physically assemble components one by one seemed laborious and I believed that I was too inexperienced. I was not ready for this daunting project.
\nIt wasn't till a friend of mines at work named Thanh introduced me to his PC builds. He explained the process and provided resources for me to learn and find my components for a reasonable price. Once he told me that he would help me build when I am ready, I literally felt like I had zero execute to not build.
\nI wanted a custom build, but I did not want to rush the process and I certainly did not want be cheap about my build. I wanted something of high quality and performance. When I worked at Geek Squad, I asked a million questions to learn and understand the art of building.
\nFor years, I’ve had a plan. I even held on to parts for as long as two years (I got those components for half price, so I purchased them early even though I was not ready).
\nFinally, I invested into myself and purchased all the parts and built my computer for the first time. Doing things for the first time is special, so I recorded the experience. Watch, thumbs up, comment, share, and most importantly experience the process with me.
\nThank you 🌐
