I built a computer probably about 8 or 9 years ago and seem to remember just assembling all of the components and it seemed pretty easy. Looking at the sticky on this forum on how to built one it seems pretty easy also. Is it still just a matter of assembling everything and starting it up? Or are there jumpers or other settings that might need to be set? If something doesn't work, is it hard to tell if you have a bad component or if you screwed up yourself?

There's fewer jumpers nowadays and parts/components are, for the most part, "plug and play." Assembly itself isn't particularly difficult. I suppose there's a certain amount of risk of damaging or receiving a DOA component and also a little knowledge of BIOS settings, driver installation, etc, is needed. For a person that's mechanically inclined, however, it's relatively easy to successfully assemble a system, and, for those that aren't, it's certainly possible to learn, either through trial and error, or with guidance from others. I think a lot of problems stem from people simply not taking the time to read instructions.

Today's PCs are much easier to be setup. Indeed most of the problems today happen because people dont take the time to read instructions. It just only needs to choose the right components between them so that they match. For example the RAM or/and the CPU to match with the motherboard. If you need any help gladly we can help you out. Just list out the motherboard you are going to use which anyway is the base and I will let you know which type of RAM and CPU you can sue.
