How was building a computer, anyways? When I had to get a new computer a couple weeks back I considered building one, but didn't because I had no idea how to do that and my (usually computer literate) brother didn't have experience with it either. I ended up using a website shere you can pick the parts and have it assembled for you. It was definitely more expensive to go that route, but with the thing professionally built I feel a lot more confident in it.
