I'm trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I'm really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is. (mastodon.world)

@lemmy_party The problem is less building the PC and more to do with picking the parts. My first gaming computer as one that I picked the parts out for and someone else put together and it was the worst computer I'd ever owned. Despite PC Part Picker assuring me that the parts were compatible, they apparently weren't because it was an unstable mess. My current PC was built by someone who knew what they were doing and it's the best PC I've ever had.

You could just pick the parts (I'd suggest researching at least a little bit) and have someone check what you picked before committing, easy. Post them here too and people can give some better suggestions if necessary, with a reason why.

The building part is (usually, unless you go for an oddball case) easy, picking the parts is indeed tricky without a second pair of eyes if you're new to this.
