Build a pc

My PC has been on constantly for years only being powered down for update restarts or if there's a power cut.

You're actually retarded.

What are you doing with your computer that would break it?

you went full retard op

You won't ruin your PC by playing games. It will get old, but so do game consoles. Eventually everything dies. Enjoy it while you can.

As long as you replaced the dry thermal compound cake that came in the box with some fresh wet thermal grease and bought a good aftermarket heatsink+fan you'll be fine.

You can buy a new CPU to replace it when the old one dies in a decade.

>buy a car
>scared to vroom on the motorway for fun because its expensive

>scared to play because I dont want to ruin pc
what the fuck are you on about

Get a nice fast flash drive and put a windows installer on it. That way whenever you want you can reinstall your OS and have a nice clean desktop again. It takes like less than half an hour to reinstall off a usb 3.1

ok boomer

Only buy something that you can buy at least a second one of, if you need to replace it
This rule has has served me well ever since I started living by it and it's not just for PC parts but everything else that I buy.

Now going back to PCs, most idiots spend all their budget on some fucktarded super build, then when something goes wrong or the thing goes kaput, they don't have anymore money to buy even a single significant replacement part

>buy a sandwich
>scared to eat it because I don't want to drop my sandwich like the retard I am so instead I will let the sandwich rot away without me eating it even if I'm hungry as fuck

Best laptop to buy for gaming?

>>scared to play because I dont want to ruin pc
what does this even fucking mean? how would you ruin your pc?

I think your money would be better invested on learning English before asking for advice on shitty expensive hardware that's only good for watching cat videos and writing documents.
