So far I've gotten them from friends who gave them to me. My friend gave me his old GPU and my last girlfriend got me the CPU a couple Christmases ago. The only parts I'm planning on buying are the mobo and PSU, but if I'm lucky I might be able to get them without paying if I find a friend with spares.

Nicely done! I recommend actually buying the PSU from a retailer because if you get a faulty one it could absolutely ruin your build.

Yeah I'll most likely end up buying one from a retailer. I don't know anyone with a PSU anyway.

Good luck with your build, and make sure not to spill anything on the mobo.

Lol ikr, I've had my laptop lock up on me after opening too many tabs. I'm paranoid to go above 10 now. Also, the vulnerabilities of an open build really make me consider getting at least a really cheap case. Dunno what I will do yet.
