Which components are often overlooked in a new computer build?
This is just meant as a healthy discussion among us members of sevenforums.
Lately, and not only here, I've seen hundreds of people who showcase their selected parts list for their shiny new computer they will be proudly building as soon as they get the money to buy all those new glistening parts.
However, and this is mostly a pet peeve of mine. It upsets me when builders opt in for an incredibly high performance processor, video card, ram, SDD,HDD,1000 Fans, and water cooling from the most recognized brands, and they select a John Doe power supply claiming to deliver 600watts and 800amps in the 12v rails. Think of it this way.. what is the point of having such fancy accessories, when your engine will not be able to power all of them properly? Or even worse, damage them beyond repair?
Same with motherboards. They select the cheapest one they can find to save money, but people are saving money in parts they should invest the most in. Again, what is the point of having all that power, if your chassis is weak? Too much power and you might break it, and end there crying with pieces all around you.
It seems to me that individuals nowadays take light importance of components that do not seem as interesting because they are the ''computery parts'' they don't really understand the function of.
So tell me Sevenforums, what pc components to you often see overlooked in new builds, and what do you think could be the reason?
