How long did it take to build your first PC?

My first build was done over two days, total build time would have been actually 10 hours. Ran into a few small problems, silly mistakes really. First one was one of the RAM sticks wouldn't fit in due to the clearance between it and the CPU cooler, so I had to take the metal casing completely off and then it was grand, sliced my finger open in the process of removing it, thats when I called an end to day one. Second issue from what i remember was something to do with a cable I forgot to connect to the HDD :)
 
You'll probably realise you haven't got an essential part or screw or lead/wire....

so I'll say 4 days to allow for free delivery of the missing items!

(my first watercooled PC took 2 weeks to finish because of the above!)


If you have all bits and nothing forgotten... about 4 hrs to assemble it, then another hour or so when it doesn't boot because of something daft.


You learn such a lot on your first build - its exciting as well, enjoy and best of luck!
