Hello everyone, after much thinking I've considered that I might wanna build my own computer, but, err, I've never done it before and don't know how. What should I keep in mind? How do I build it without breaking it when I have such long hair, etc. I was mostly thinking of building a Hackintosh, and I've found all the right parts, but it's the assembling I'm not sure I'll be able to get. On top of that, I'm really confused about cases and don't know what case I should get to fit everything in. I'm planning a pretty expensive rig, to boot. I'll offer a preliminary list based on various Hackintosh compatible components I found. Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K Graphics: EVGA GTX Ti 6GB ACX 2.0+ Hard drive: Samsung 850 EVO 1TB or 2 TB (undecided, but most likely the cheaper option) Cooling: Undecided but judging from this site I'll go for a Cooler Master Seidon 120 or a Corsair H60 (I know water coolers are controversial, just going by recommendations) PSU: I have no idea how much power I'll need 'cause I'm a newb, but the site recommends Corsair AX 760W but I also found an 860W one. RAM: Crucial Ballistix Elite 32GB Case: ??? I'll probably make some PC users cringe here, idfk. Just asking for some help here since I wanna get into this.
