So I'm building my second PC. I've been working on them since I was 10 but I feel like there's still more nuances I could be taught.
Everyone here seems very helpful and knowledgable so I was hoping you all could confirm if the parts I've chosen will work together and give me some tips on common mistakes made when putting together a PC. Particularly any tips on thermal compound application and connection of the CPU heatsink/fan would be greatly appreciated!
This is gonna be as close to a dream PC as I'll ever get, so here are those parts.
