FORGOTTEN HISTORY: I build a pc every month these are my 5 worst pc building gripes - The Untold Story

Parts of the PC build process that I have a particular gripe with, such as USB connectors, short cables and tubes, and SSD slots.

The more I look at the word 'gripes', the less it looks right. Nevertheless, we're running through our PC gaming gripes all week. Since I've been building gaming PCs pretty much non-stop this year, I feel like I've got at least a few bones to pick with components and how they slot together.

Before I unleash my fiery tirade upon unsuspecting PC parts, let me take a moment to say… I actually think the PC building experience is pretty darn great. It's a helluva lot of fun. Challenging in a way that, for some brains, at least, is really rewarding. So don't take my gentle prodding as a reason to put off building your own gaming PC sometime soon. Do it, it's great.
