follow that instinct.. watch a you tube video or 2. I'm 73 and have built 15 or so. if I can anybody can. go to the pcpartspicker site tell em what you want to do and how much$ they'll walk you thru and show the best prices for your build. The build I'm doing now is to allow upgrades for at least 3 years. My last build 8 years ago is still running strong and will become the new server. No matter which way you go have fun doing it
