Tips for constructing a PC?
Hello, I’m exploring PC construction and unsure which components offer the best performance for their cost. With a budget of about 5800 CAD, I plan to buy a racing sim setup around 500-600 CAD. I also want to enhance the look, thinking about customizing my case with bright orange accents. I’m considering a DIY approach rather than a custom loop, as it might be too expensive and impractical for my needs—though it could look nice if the pipes are easy to assemble. My main use will be programming (possibly AI training) and sim racing. Thanks!
