It requires some dedication, a little research, building skill, and basic knowledge of electronics and common knowledge.

Really, if you can put together a Lego kit you can assemble a computer. All it is, is plugging things in, screwing stuff down, etc. Nothing advanced.

The real problem comes with picking hardware. That's where research is important.

And of course maintaining the computer is necessary. You learn as you go so it's not like jumping in the deep end.

EDIT: And I don't like your signature. You don't know the first thing about overclocking from what I can tell. An I wouldn't buy an FX-60 if I had the money, total waste.
 
If you know what your doing, its just as easy as playing with legos. If you dont have a clue what the parts are, or where things go, its like trying to re-build a car engine.
 
i dont see a problem in building a comp, when my parts arrived it took me around 45 min to screw everything up in the case, i would say like 3, its not hard, just need some caution

exactly, n1 geoff
 
Yea i know that not all parts are compatible and you have to get every thing matched up and **** like that. iv e been looking 4 a while but i cant buy cause i keep gettin grounded
 
this is a bit off-topic, but your sig:
OverClocking is for poor boobs who cant afford An FX-60

You do know that the FX60 is only worth it if you overclock right? If you dont overclock it then theres no point in getting it.

yeah, that's the same thing i thought about like a minute ago, FX series are ment for OC'ing, even the FX60, mmmm.... unlocked multipliers. even upwards :eek: :P
 
if you wanna try practicing, with no risk try trash pickin like i do, rofl, its how i got most of the parts in the pc of my sig, it aint glamourous, but it works
 
Realistically, i'd say that if you've had some experience working with computer hardware (e.g. changed a graphics card, upgraded a hard drive ,etc...), you should be fine. Just remember to take it slowly and keep the Building Computers 101 guide at your side.

If you've never opened up a computer before, I wouldn't recommend you start building your own, unless you have a friend, etc... who can help you through it.
 
its not hard but you should get a help from a professional because there are things that might not fit such as sockets they need to be the same number as the processor.
so you might end up wasting money on something you cant use anyway. watch out!
