    Been stuck on a laptop for a decade but now that my kids come of age I have sign off to build a machine to start her STEM education...my return to gaming being a side benefit :D

    I started building on partpicker but fast exceeded my budget (as ya do), then reading here I realised theres science to this thats beyond my ken and not getting the perfect balance can be an expensive learning experience.

    5. Do you need a monitor? [No, well eventually but will make do with what i have for now]

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [19'/20'/22'/24'/etc.]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future? [1920x1080/1440x900/etc.] 24" FHD [No]
