Building a gaming PC isn't necessarily difficult, but it is time consuming. For both first time assemblers and veterans alike, no matter who you are, it does take longer to throw the components into a case than it does to reach the checkout on Amazon, Best Buy, or Newegg. Roughly speaking, building a gaming PC is easier now than it ever has been as part manufacturers continue to be more user-friendly with detailed manuals and included instructions in the boxes. What's more, you can usually find guides on specific components on the company websites or dedicated YouTube / social media channels.
