PC Building Questions
How difficult is it to build a PC?
Building a PC is easier than most people think! With the right guidance and tools, anyone can build their own computer. We provide comprehensive guides, video tutorials, and our build calculator to make the process simple. Most first-time builders complete their build in 2-4 hours.
What tools do I need to build a PC?
At minimum, you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver. We recommend our PC Building Tool Kit which includes all the essential tools. You'll also need a clean workspace and good lighting. Anti-static wrist straps are recommended but not required.
How do I know if components are compatible?
Our Build Calculator automatically checks compatibility between components. Key things to watch for: CPU socket type matching motherboard, RAM type (DDR4/DDR5), power supply wattage, and case size compatibility.
What's the difference between Intel and AMD processors?
Both Intel and AMD make excellent processors. Intel typically offers better single-core performance (great for gaming), while AMD often provides better multi-core performance (great for productivity tasks). The choice depends on your specific needs and budget.
How much RAM do I need?
For most users, 16GB is the sweet spot. 8GB is sufficient for basic tasks, 16GB is great for gaming and multitasking, 32GB is ideal for content creation and heavy multitasking, and 64GB+ is for professional workstations.
Ordering Questions
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, and bank transfers. We also offer financing options for purchases over $500 through our partner lenders.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders ship within 24 hours. Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days, while express shipping takes 1-2 business days. Free shipping is available on orders over $100.
Do you offer warranty on products?
Yes! All our products come with manufacturer warranty. We also offer our 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you're not happy with your purchase, we'll help you return or exchange it.

Do you offer price matching?
Yes, we offer price matching on identical products from authorized retailers. Contact us within 7 days of your purchase with proof of the lower price, and we'll match it or refund the difference.
Technical Questions
What's the difference between DDR4 and DDR5 RAM?
DDR5 is the newer, faster standard with higher bandwidth and lower power consumption. However, DDR4 is still excellent for most users and is more affordable. DDR5 requires specific motherboards (Intel 12th gen+ or AMD AM5), while DDR4 works with most current systems.
How do I choose the right power supply?
Use our Build Calculator to estimate your power needs. Generally, budget builds need 450-550W, mid-range builds need 650-750W, and high-end builds need 850W+. Always choose a reputable brand and 80+ certified unit.
What's the difference between SATA and NVMe SSDs?
NVMe SSDs are significantly faster than SATA SSDs (up to 7x faster). SATA SSDs are still great for most users and are more affordable. NVMe is ideal for gaming, content creation, and anyone who wants maximum performance.
Do I need liquid cooling?
Liquid cooling isn't necessary for most builds. Air cooling is often sufficient and more reliable. Liquid cooling is beneficial for high-end CPUs, overclocking, or if you prefer the aesthetic. Our build calculator will recommend appropriate cooling solutions.
What's the difference between RTX and GTX graphics cards?
RTX cards feature ray tracing technology and are newer/more powerful than GTX cards. RTX cards also have DLSS for better performance. For gaming, RTX cards offer better future-proofing, while GTX cards can still handle most games at good settings.
