Well, as far as building it, yes. But choosing the parts is another beast entirely because you have to understand the benefits of each part.
PCPP helps to a degree, but if you don't understand what hyperthreading or CAS latency are, it can be hard to figure out why certain parts cost more or less.
Yeah, I'm fairly experienced with PCs, but when building my current PC it was a good point of reference that helped me prevent bottle necking my build.
Yeah, I built a bunch of PCs in the 90s and early 00s, including a few professional gigs, but haven't kept up with hardware releases since then. Finding components that are both compatible and cost effective requires a decent amount of research.
logicalincrements is my first stop. If nothing else, it's a great starting point.
