<div dir="ltr">The beauty of <a href="http://pcpartpicker.com">pcpartpicker.com</a> is that you can mix parts list components very easily. If you want to swap or add a drive or whatever, you can do that very easily, and the filter will warn you about any incompatibilities that exist or about things you might not have thought about. For example, if you have an mATX case with an ATX motherboard, or if your CPU cooler doesn't fit the socket, or if you need a special adapter or what not. Pcpartpicker tries to help out with that stuff.<div><br></div><div>For example when different versions of AM4 bios come out, there were warnings to update your bios and so forth.<br><div><br></div><div>Also, there are lots of other folks building on the site, and they share their builds (pictures and comments and stuff--what worked and what didn't).</div><div><br></div><div>The site doesn't always catch the latest prices, but they're pretty close. For example, it doesn't really take into account Micro Center CPU/mobo bundles and in-store specials, at least not all of them. Also, places like Micro Center will often (or always?) match online deals. But, the prices are still pretty helpful from <a href="http://pcpartpicker.com">pcpartpicker.com</a>. You could, for example, take your <a href="http://pcpartpicker.com">pcpartpicker.com</a> part list (print out) into Micro Center and see if they will match or beat any of the prices you'd get online. During Black Friday deals week, MC smashed the best prices from pcpartpicker, for example. Probably just depends on supplies.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, have fun with the build! :-D</div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 3:27 PM Steve Litt via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">:s/8GB/8TB/<br>
