Happy to help! Oh one more thing: Microcenter price matches, so look at competing sites the day before you go.

Here's some general thoughts in no particular order:

• PC Part Picker is your friend for compatibility and sorting through all the options.

• I have a Fractal North XL. It's a solid case. If you don't need a top of the line GPU, the regular North will do just fine.

• Add some head room for your power supply. Get a gold or better rated one from a reputable brand.

• Try to buy in-person from a Microcenter if you can. I brought a tablet with my list and they actually recommended some better in-house deals after reviewing my build concept. I saved money and ended up getting some backup parts.

• From what I understand right now is that AMD is a better choice than Intel for CPUs.

• Having one SSD as your primary drive and a secondary drive for data storage can be useful, especially if you need to reinstall the OS.

• If you want to get into video/photo editing you'll want to consider getting more memory/RAM.

• Take pictures while you build. Have some small containers ready for all the screws you'll be managing.

• Build with a friend that has done this before if you can.

• Jays2Cents has a lot of good consumer-focused videos without going too far into the technicals like GamersNexus.

• You may find an entry level GPU useful for basic photo and video editing, but I'd read up on what's available on Linux and what's really needed.

Been using a set of wool dryer balls from Trader Joe's for years. Haven't had to use fabric softener at all.

I did a boot camp at a crossfit gym that was obsessive about calling out bad form.

Makes me think of the episode of Batman Beyond called "Shriek."

As producers, whatever [Marvel] didn’t spend, they kept. So every time we wanted to add something to the show to make it better, it was a fistfight

Oh that explains a bunch.

If you're going on a long road trip, yes.

Yeah for the same price as the color option you could get a Garmin Vivoactive​ on a sale.

Isn't that the FCC?

I figured it was related to the hardware architecture, but I'm curious if this is for security reasons (potential exploits that the OS can't resolve) and/or just a support bandwidth concerns managing 2 OS code bases (on top of the obvious revenue from new licenses).

If the hardware security isn't the issue, then switching to Linux is a good money saving choice for those that are tech savvy.

Gotta take mandatory breaks at least every 4 hours.
