I am finally preparing to build my own PC. In this thread, I will chronicle the steps I take to complete my journey and join the glorious gaming elite. Right now, I have ordered most of the parts I need, save for a keyboard and monitor, which I am still deliberating over. One of my issues is money - I can afford the parts I'm buying, but I have to deal with the time-consuming idiosyncracies of my bank and my credit card company, as they never leave me quite sure of whether or not I have my money in the right accounts.
