Definitely going to put that video on my to-do-list to watch tomorrow. Thanks for that.
I never considered doing the docking station thing to be honest. It is a much cheaper alternative but I feel like a full blown desktop PC is best. I would hate for something to happen to my laptop and realize that both my laptop and my desktop PC are now gone. Having two separate things would be ideal but thanks for the suggestion, I didn't consider it before.
I would be doing my own research for sure to try and learn as much as possible. And I'm sure as soon as my partner catches wind of what I'm doing, he'll be intensely interested. Electronics/gadgets are hardcore porn for him, he loves loves loves them. He's got a work bench with all sorts of gizmos and gadgets that I could assemble it on and if I got confused/hung up he would lend a hand, or several.
As of now I have basically nothing, we do have keyboards and monitors here but of course, those are hooked up to current working PCs. I'm not at all picky about fancy keyboards and mice, as long as they comfortable and functioning I don't mind. I'm fine with sub 20 dollar peripherals, I wouldn't consider them part of my budget. A monitor is where things get a little pricier but I'm not looking for a huge, big ass beast of a monitor with 4K quality. As long as it can display what my computer's graphics card is putting out just fine, I'm happy. I know a monitor is definitely more than 20 bucks but again, I wouldn't consider that part of my budget either.
The only thing that could cut into my budget is Windows 10. I'm not sure if I want to factor that into my budget yet or not. For now I would say it's not part of my budget. It probably should be but, I would be okay with waiting to get that if I was able to build the computer and know it's not "complete" yet without getting Windows. Besides, it wouldn't be a very long wait and I would also probably kick up my budget to include the cost of that if it came down to it.
Headsets wouldn't matter to me, I think I have one...somewhere but I never, ever used any headsets. I don't play anything online really and if I do, I don't communicate outside of text.
But anyway, I think that answered most of what you were asking about, hopefully. So yeah, thanks for the help so far!
