Need Help Learning to Build a PC!
Asked by
TechieTeen123
Hey everyone! I'm a teenager who just got a side job and I'm thinking about building my first gaming PC. Before I spend money on parts, I want to educate myself about computers and the building process. I'm looking for free courses or resources that can help me get started. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
