    oh ive been there lol for a first build, do a test boot outside the case on teh motherboard box with CPU, one RAM stick, cooler and PSU xD if it posts there, everything else is cable management. worked for me anyway 🤷

    ok so prebuilts often save money on teh power supply, the motherbaord, single channel RAM or a weak cooler 🤷 If you go prebuilt, check teh full part list, not just teh CPU and GPU names. good luck man!

    oof a self build gives u one warranty per part, which is good for repairs but means you diagnose problems yourself 🤷 A prebuilt gives u one support line, which is great if you don't want to troubleshoot.

    middle ground: many shops will assemble the parts you pick for a fee. you choose quality parts and still get someone else to do the building and teh first boot. lmk how it goes

    whatever you choose, enable XMP or EXPO in the BIOS afterwards. A lot of new systems, prebuilt and self built, run their RAM at a slower defualt speed.
