i had the same thing running through my mind. But the manuals
are pretty clear about 90% of the things. The rest you can just get some help with if needed but it really is fairly strait forward.
The thing that took me the longest was the mess of wires that goes from the front of the case to the motherboard. Things like power lights, front fan, usb slots, headphone jacks and so on.
there just seemed to be 50 wires and then they all went onto a long
strip of pins, each with small markings on the motherboard then when looked up in the manual will tell you what should go there, and all wires were marked too. it is just that they are all tiny and there are what seamed to be so many.
The processor & fan you have to pay attention to when installing. but like everything else the directions that come with it will walk you right through it.
If it makes you feel any better, them most i had done before this build was install memory and drives (hard drives and DVD drives)
other than that i had zero experience in PC building.
I am sure that if you decide to go that way you can find someone
who can sit on MSN while you build it that you can ask questions to, real time help.
i know people who have built good gaming computers for about $600 too in case you do not want to go with quite the setup i have.
Mine is still only about mid range but i plan to upgrade the processor, add the 2GB of RAM that i have space for, add a SATA DVD burner and a few more SATA hard drive, possibly even get another graphics card like mine with crossfire and hook the two of them together.
