Build a BONKERS gaming PC

On m 4th gaming PC in just short of a decade, so Iv got some ground under by belt I have to say that when you are building a gamins PC, try to focus on one thing that is essential to you.

If I can give any tips to people building a PC is this.... make the PC quite yes quiet noise from fans especially the graphics card will get on your nerves after a while, so do not go for cases with a plastic see though side. Try to find a case that supports 120mm fans as the larger they are the slower they rotate and in theory the quite they will be. Also try to fit rubber feet on the PC case to help lower noise.

For pure power and gaming remember that the slowest component in your PC will always be the bottle neck, 9 times out of 10 this will be the HDD so try and get a SSD as this will speed things up a lot especially loading saved games, if you have a huge about of cash you can go for a SSD that runs through your PCIe slot.
