When planning a new PC build, most of us will be working to a strict budget. That means some aspects will have to fall into compromises, given that graphics card pricing is out of control and will likely take the most significant portion of the budget. The problem is that, while many budget components might seem like a good deal to begin with, they’re also more likely to cause issues later on. That $20 you save could end up costing you many times that in repairs or replacements, and then your budget has crept past what you wanted to spend. If you have to compromise on anything, try reducing the capacity of storage or memory, things that you can easily upgrade later, so your initial build still has quality components.
