 I was casually window shopping computer parts to build a PC and there are sooo many 😵 how do people even choose what to use?

If I ever did build a PC, I'd just be working off the graphics card and PSU that I just used to upgrade my current stock PC.

 What's your budget, and what will it be used for?

 I'm not really in the market to build a computer because what I've got now works really well now that I added a GeForce. Right now it's for software dev work and gaming. Maybe in a couple years I'll upgrade the case and motherboard/cpu, maybe up to $800 is what I'd be willing to spend there.

 Do you know the company Frame.Work? I think they also sell parts for their computers and the choice is more narrow!
