So i have been building pc's for many years my first ever pc i built was a athlon xp in about 2003 and since then mostly stuck with amd (more to do with price ) though did build a intel Q6600 and i thought i would give a few things i have learned. now this is mostly from my point of view in that i use the pc 80% for games and the rest video editing
1. Research on the components often picking the wrong parts can cause problems perhaps a motherboard is not compatible with a certain processor or memory config (i got a 990fx motherboard and went to my local computer shop and bought a random 8gb memory.....turns out it was not compatible. If you are paying for a whole new rig then bundles on trusted web sites might be a good idea
2.Price vs performance for example a 4790k compared to a 4690k in games may only be a few frames faster per second or in handbrake might be a little bit faster but the price difference is over 100 euro so would it be worth paying the extra ? if time is money and its for productivity then probably so but for general use i doubt it ,
3.Do not scrimp though quite a few times i bought that graphics card that was cheap and really it was not good enough to handle games later on and i really wish i had saved and waited that little bit longer
4. WAIT, that new processor/hard drive/graphics card/motherboard just come out i would always say wait till any issues are known and drivers are updated also hopefully prices come down
