My current PC is very old to a point where it's latest bios update was in 2015. I upgraded my GPU since but I have troubles with opening the browser taking a few minutes. This broke me and in spite of my lack of funding I decided to buy PC parts and build a new one, minus the GPU, to be able to continue my normal usage. I didn't buy bad parts either, I bought a CPU which was deemed a flagship of the last AMD CPUs without a GPU in them. I used a PC building website to check for compatibility, did some checking myself. Ordered all, suffered through websites lying about availability and then refusing to cancel because they ordered in my name from another supplier and so on. Ok, all arrived. No, it didn't. They didn't send me a RAM in a package which was marked as containing it. I waited quite a while for them to "investigate" and refund me money. Anyway, finally all stuff has arrived. I had to get a new CPU cooler because the compatibility website didn't check for CPU socket for coolers which neither did I think of because I was dumb enough not to predict they would space screws differently between different sellers because screw the end user. I put all together, not my first time, I would put my PC apart when moving countries to save on space to save on delivery costs. The issue is, it wouldn't work. It would turn itself off. It would work only with 1 RAM, either one in either socket. So not a RAM issue. It seems to had been either or both a motherboard and case issue. I got electrocuted twice so I think it was the PC case. I don't want to elaborate too much because, again, I'm poor and it costs quite a lot. I sent all back, explained what's happened and I'm waiting for how it will go. The biggest pain was the PC worked even worse than my current one with 1 RAM despite equivalent amount of memory. Obviously it was broken in some way but I'm scared. Mostly for the money. I really don't have the money but I'm scared I'll lose my PC and since I live in a country of which I don't speak the language of (not by choice, I came here to avoid homelessness but the threat is glooming over me again because I only got 1 response regarding housing despite tirelessly following ads and sending messages) it's essentially my only way to relax and forget of my dumb situation. I cannot even play most games because it takes too long to launch them (especially looking at CK3 for which I bought an SSD only to discover my mobo is so old there's no M.2 slot). I know I'm a silly little dumb jester but I wish I had a new PC which just worked and worked well and I wasn't broke but it seems like I might both not get a new PC AND lose money if the sellers decide it's somehow not their responsibility to provide customers with working parts. I needed to vent. Sorri. :((((
