Me and my dad have been thinking about this for awhile,. I've spent 2 weeks memorizing parts of a computer and making sure parts are compatible. I've asked tons of websites for suggestions and the community of each have told me I'm good to go. Allied quick tip, if your thinking of building one make sure you spend atleast five days memorizing what each component is for (CPU, GPU, etc...). Ask your dad for help on picking parts.
