@Foxophonist It takes a lot of practice and failure. And I think your build is pretty good. I was nowhere close to that level when I started building.
My entry can’t even hold a candle to yours.
@Minecraftpoweer Thx dud!
i came from a stream, it looks sick!
Np
@doge Nice I still have my gaming monitor so I might consider getting this, welp thx once again for the advice and support, one day in the future I will most definitely try my best to finish this plane.

@doge 600$ For that? That sounds like a steal, what's the brand and model, I'd like to add that to my list.
Ya I'm saving up for a new one as well its $600 comes with a ryzen 1200 quad core gtx1050ti 8gb ram 1TB harddrive @Ajforever51
@doge And yes it was a laptop.
@doge Welp thx for the support m8, one day when I get a better pc I'm planning on spicing up some of my builds, cuz a lot of them did not reach their full potential due to the limitations present on my pc, that's been on my bucket list for a while now.
Oof im guessing it was a laptop @Ajforever51
@doge Yup it was the power
@doge And no blue screen of doom I just tried to turn it on one day and it wouldn't turn on, and I couldn't get a new battery because the make and model was no longer in production, which sucked.
So was it the power @Ajforever51
@doge Yup I'm trying to save up for a new pc cuz I'll be heading off to college next year, as I am now a senior in high school, cuz as much as I love this piece of crap, It won't be of much use to me in 2-3 years, It's deteriorating fast. It does not run nearly as fast as when I first got it. It was capable of running War Thunder on medium settings, but now it won't even run.
Also if it didn't want to power on that's a power supply problem
Hmmmmm blue screen of doom ?@Ajforever51
Dang my highest is just a tid bit higher then 630 @Ajforever51
@doge It just died, The people at Best Buy said it was done for, so I had to use my backup pc.
@doge My last build went over 830 parts and i was gonna add more details, but the lag was so bad I couldn't even fly the thing on my laptop, so I eneded having to test it on my friend's computer.
Any idea what's wrong with it
@doge I have pentium I had a better pc
that ran on I5 but he kicked the bucket a few years back so I had to resort to my backup pc.
What's ur processor
Mines an i2 duo
Also no they don't require a lot of changes I listed like 5mins of working on it
@doge Thx m8, but alot of those details would have significantly increased part count thus breaking my very crappy pc. My part count limit is just about 820 parts.
