A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Slightly different advice from what others have said, but while building it, I've always used an anti static wristband, grounded to either ground or the pc case. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but that's what I was taught, and haven't had any issues with ESD so far
My only advice is know yourself well. Know what you'll use this computer for. I knew that I was going to use my PC as a glorified Stardrew machine so I skimped on the graphics card. I knew my real goal was digital art so I got a good CPU and tons of RAM.
Love my PC and use it every day.
