I've built mine for the past 15 years, when needing something newer. The first time was a bit daunting, as was the very first time I opened the case to add new memory cards. I was sure I was going to turn the machine into a large paperweight. But there was only one place where they would even fit... no question about how they should go in... And it's like that for each and every component. The plugs on each are a different shape and will ONLY go into the motherboard in the correct place and in the correct direction! Where there are several sockets that are identical, the plugs that fit can go into any of them. The actual assembly, once you've screwed in the motherboard, shouldn't take more than 20-30 minutes. But... the 'hard part' is choosing the right components to do what you need the machine to do. But these days you can get all the information on line. Once you know what you need to install, choose the best motherboard that can hold them, then choose the best tower to hold the motherboard and all the bits and pieces. How many full size slots will you require? How many half size? How many drive bays? What sort of cooling system? Once you know what you need, the rest is easy!
