Are you a serious creator? There’s never been a better time to build your own computer – and get exactly what you want from your PC.

Assembling a PC in the modern day is a lot more like putting together a LEGO set than meddling around with wires and cables; and with such a wealth of helpful guides online, it’s easier than ever before. If you’re not sure where to get started, have a gander at our PC-building guide.
So why should you opt for a self-built PC? Well, for serious creatives, there are plenty of advantages. Here, we’re going to break down some of the reasons why building your own PC to power your creative projects is a great idea – and give you a few extra tips on how to do so along the way.Self-built PCs are more future-proof
