its actually pretty easy. and i find it a lot of fun.

you learn a lot about your PC that way, by knowing everything thats in it, which helps a LOT for upgrades.

basically you buy each part and its as simple as plugging them in. some are slightly more difficult depending on case and motherboard. but it would come with a diagram of the little plugs if it needs them. so its not bad at all.

i find CompUSA is a nice place to buy some stuff if your not into ording online. i think www.pricewatch.com is a good place to price out things and look for parts.

it can be cheaper if you know what yoru doing and can cut parts where you know you wouldnt need. or want to upgrade at a later time.

And yes, i find its MUCH more reliable. this is my first computer i ever built, and i will always build one from now on. its been by far my best and most reliable computer ever. never had any probs with it.

Plus when you build your own, you understand how it works more and when it has a problem you can find what it is yourself.

good luck man, and have fun with it. people are always around here to help with questions. i think we have a few ppl who build thier own.
