Re: Built my first PC today

What does it matter if you did or didn't (get the record)?

What matters is that you did it & it (hopefully) works!

You still get that sense of satisfaction don't you?

Re: Built my first PC today

Excellent work !
Just goes to show how anyone can do it.
As long as you pick things carefully and take your time, there is no reason why you cant build yourself your own system.
Great stuff
