5 hidden costs of building a PC from scratch

Building a new PC from scratch is far more exciting than buying a prebuilt one because you have full control over the components you want to use. I remember how thrilled I was back in 2012 when I took my sweet time researching and purchasing all the necessary parts for my first gaming rig. I did this again several years later, in 2020, and it was just as exciting. However, one thing I underestimated was the total costs involved in building a PC, as I had to stretch my budget both times.
