Right now i have a pre-build i got from ebay quite some time ago but its a Frankenstein of parts to say. I want to get a better pc but i cant get a job due to parents saying no and im quite busy theses days. I wish i could do something from home to gain experience but im not sure what? also what are some things to avoid when upgrading, this time i wont go for a pre-build. I do have a little bit of cash but nothing special that will get me anywhere in terms of a pc.

local buy/trade markets (Facebook marketplace/offer up) just seen a 5800x3d/mobo/ram bundle for 480$ which is INSANE. scoop parts when you are able to. start with mobo and go from there. you don't need to buy everything at once.
