I'm gonna jump on the other side of this and say if you aren't comfortable trying to build something that you could potentially break and waste $500 someodd dollars on not to do it.

I would check newegg, there's another one that's like newegg that I can't think of the name right now, I think it's an animal.
TigerDirect? They're good too.

Fiance wanted me to try and put something in his computer and even watching the youtube videos I still felt very, very uncomfortable possibly breaking his computer and whatever the hell it was he wanted me to plug in (hard drive I think?)

TigerDirect? They're good too.

Yes, that one!

**edit edit: I build computers for buddies. Feel free to ask questions. At the moment, besides OS my cheapest decent build was $250; this included an APU processor.

Fine. But I got to use the word conundrum, which was the whole point of the post.
Conundrum is a very good word, though condundrums always leave me feeling discombobulated. :p
they used to have good sales but their customer service is fuckin awful.

I thought they were going out of business but apparently someone bought them out in 2015
I did notice that their prices were higher and the site was weird/different when I bought this laptop a while back.. Didn't know they'd been bought out, but that makes sense when accounting for the difference in how things used to be.

Expect G Fiber to take a couple years to roll out. They've been working on it here for like three years and it's been really slow going, seemingly because ATT and Comcast are being a PITA and making it difficult for them to expand.
Is that what MetroNet does? They blew up a couple houses a couple blocks over for hitting a gas line while they were digging.

My friend on his first pc build learned about a thing called static electricity a little too late
