    lol same thing happened to me building is very doalbe for a beginner if you take ur time. Read the motherboard manual, especially the front panel connector and RAM slot pages. Most first build problems are RAM in the wrong slots or a missing CPU power cable. good luck man!

    A self build gives you one warranty per part, which is good for repairs but means u diagnose problems yourself. A prebuilt gives you one support line, which is great if u dont want to troubleshoot. hope that helps :)

    Accepted solution

    Middle ground: many shops will assemble teh parts u pick for a fee. You choose quality parts and still get someone else to do the building and the first boot.
