Building a computer?

[skybluesam1]

Hi guys,
So I have been wondering to myself today and am thinking about buying a semi decent gaming computer however I am unsure whether to build my own or get it prebuilt.

Below are some questions I have.

How would I get the money for one as I am only 14?
How would I start making it myself?
What is the cheapest price for a semi decent one?

Ps I am also looking to run a few bots as my laptop atm fails to run 1 bot is there any way of making my current laptop run more?

Make it your self, very easy and is a much better bang for your buck.

How would I get the money for one as I am only 14?

That is up to you. Find a part time job at a store near where you live as a bag boy? Paper route? Mowing grasses? Endless opportunities.

How would I start making it myself?

First you should look up guides on how to build them, they are super simple, and take maybe an hour.

What is the cheapest price for a semi decent one?

$550 max for a decent one, and that is just the computer. No operating system, no monitor, no mouse or keyboard.

Ps I am also looking to run a few bots as my laptop atm fails to run 1 bot is there any way of making my current laptop run more?

More ram for your laptop, how much do you have now?
Even with more ram, don't expect miracles. It probably has a lower end processor, as do most laptops, so the performance wont be astounding.

Justinkiller pretty much covered everything you need to know. If I were you I would save my money until I could buy everything I want and the PC. (OS, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Headset, etc.)
You will also need to learn about the parts, and how to build the PC. I would think about it for a few months before buying anything.

Okay then Thanks for the advice . Will make sure to do a bit of research into what to do to build one and the different parts I need .

Once again thanks for your fast response .

that's the guide I used for my first build, year and a half ago, was very helpful.
