Comprehensive yet simply said!
A pleasure to read! I am no more than a good computer user but have been wanting to build a computer for awhile. Thanks to this well-written step-by-step approach I have confidence that I can give the build a try. I especially liked the beginning overview and probably even more, I really liked the explanation of boot orders and all the many variations one could run into. The explanation of the creation of a USB boot disk was remarkably clear. Very nice job and I’ll check back in after I get something built!
