I want to get into building custom pc's

[Hello and welcome]

Well ever since I started getting older I have been amazed in what kinds of pc's you can build, but I dont know how to start and I'm honestly really scared I'll damage some of the parts. Can someone give me advice on how to build and how to start off?

im no expert but the first thing i did when building my pc is figure out how much money i had to work with after that come up with all the different parts youre gonna need (cpu, ram, motherboard, etc etc) then make sure you didnt miss anything then once youre sure you have everything figure out how you are going to allocate your money to all the different parts you need... only done this once before and it was a few years ago but this is how i remember starting to build mine

Set yourself with a budget. Keep in mind a smaller budget will reward you with a worse computer. Most people that set their budget to about $1,000 can get a pretty descent computer.

You also have to ask yourself "What games do I want to play and do I want to play them with max settings?" you also need to factor in if you want new peripherals (Keyboard, mouse, even a monitor)

I can help you pick your items out. I can also help you build it if you have any questions. Newegg is primarily where I get all my computer parts. They have good prices and a very large variety to choose from.

Most of the build is pretty straight forward. The only thing you need to worry about is being ABSOLUTELY CAREFUL ABOUT EVERYTHING. These parts are insanely easy to break. Even ESD can fry a component, so keeping yourself grounded, or away from carpet, is advisable.
