Labor for putting a computer together should only be like 30-40 bucks, you got scammoozled

Jokes on you, that requires lifelong maintenances
Zachary Ramirez
if that included installing windows + drivers that's a fair price, if not cheap

>start assembling them but get scared that I'll break something Why you such a puss bro?
Jordan Allen
They were expensive and I had to work for 3 months to pay for it excluding my HRT treatment cost.
Bentley Nguyen
what anime?
Jordan Hill
Not him but I'm completely inept with my hands and there's no way I'd risk breaking expensive components with them.
I don't pay a dime though, I have a techie friend. I pay him in beer

I was pissed scared of putting my pc together, my hands were all over everything, I banged the motherboard a few times and I even got some oily finger prints on the CPU.
But It all turned out perfectly fine with no issues :^).
Daniel Murphy
The only way you can break them is if you dont know what the fuck you're doing and force the wrong part in the wrong place.
The component isn't going to disintegrate in your hands.

>not paying a friend with a few beers
Gabriel Johnson
All you need to do is look at a youtube vid and follow what they do.
Alternatively
is still fine as long as you offer up your ass for some gayming after
except if you are if u wanna be a woman then you dont need a computer bitch

Jeez you guys should try to not be such clumsy butter fingers. These are basic tasks here, not heart surgery.
Andrew Morgan
>The only way you can break them is if you dont know what the fuck you're doing That's exactly the case, user.
Parker White
things like video cards are heavy and if you drop one onto a motherboard you ruin at least 2 components

i literally had to work 2 weeks to buy a whole computer with 980TI and my job is considered "minimum wage" in the US

Assembling a PC together is a boogeyman because back in the day your average person really wasn't expected to put a PC together. Nowadays with manuals, internet and shit literally anyone can do it. Two biggest mistakes I've seen people do is not ground their motherboard with copper screws and fucking up front LEDs. Except now everything is clearly labeled for you and in most cases you can't screw on your motherboard properly without grounding it first.

>throw away the unused cables. This triggers me. I never have enough spare cables. I can't tell you how often I find myself in need of a new SATA cable or some such.
Jeremiah Green
I wanted to keep some of the boxes but the guys were kind of fierce and unfriendly looking
I have other expenses too...
Xavier Allen
My hands are way big for such a skinny body, I could barley fit my hand in to place the cooler master in properly.
Gabriel Reyes
>in the US Not all of us live in countries with real currencies. Some of us live in monopoly land where the money is worth less than the paper is printed on. Those parts are expensive
For you it's 2 weeks, for me is 1 year for something "decent" 2-3 for top of the line that will be outdated by the time I can afford it. No fucking way I'm getting my butter fingers near those parts
Jordan Ward
Over years of building pcs for people, I've amassed shit tons of sata cables. They come packaged with every fucking case and mobo these days. I give them away for free now.
Isaac Adams
Bullshit. Unless you worked full-time hours at minimum wage. Even then it shouldn't be enough with taxes. That build would cost around 1k and to make that at minimum wage even in the more generous states would mean you would have to work like 120 hours in those 2 weeks.
Alexander James
>What are manuals? It literally tells you what goes where. Google is also your friend.
Don't drop them. Most video cards don't have any small items/parts hanging out that can easily snap off. The worst you can do is dent the motherboard making it unusable you know, if you're like 10 feet tall.

I feel like this was a bait post that missed mark entirely on account of how fucking casual Sup Forums is. Goddamn, I'm sorry OP. I'll bite for you.
YOU FUCKING DUMBASS, ASSEMBLING PCS IS LITERALLY LEGOS WITHOUT THE STABBING HAZARDS AND GEEK SQUAD IS RIPPING YOU OFF AND STEALING YOUR CABLES.
Jeremiah Carter
Who's this manjuice mangler Seriously guys what animu is this
Dylan Ortiz
>ASSEMBLING PCS IS LITERALLY LEGOS WITHOUT THE STABBING HAZARDS But if i break something I'm out a couple hundred instead of like a dollar.
Truth be told I don't actually think you made an awful decision paying for assembly if you can afford the buck. I just wanted to give the standard answer.
That said, it's actually very difficult to damage PC parts if you do a little bit of research. They don't really make them fragile and a gentle touch will slot most anything in. The biggest concern is things like static or wiring, which are much easier to solve with precaution than accidentally snapping a fragile bit would hypothetically be.
But again, however many dollars however many years isn't really that big a deal. It's better to learn than to not, but it's better to be safe than studied.
Mason Parker
God damn that's some TECHNOLOGY And you are a not bad guy
Bentley Barnes
You are a bitch. If your money and income is as bad as you make it sound - you wouldn't fucking spend so much on a nerd putting shit together for you.
The poorer the country the less its people make use of luxury ass services like this.
Camden Jones
Not OP, but last time I went into a PC I ended up ripping up a PCI port because I got sloppy.
