Sure you have the luxury of building a high-end Gaming PC without the hassle of actually building it, but you'd be oddly surprised at how easy it is to build a PC. If you've had any experience with Legos trust me you'd understand a computer just fine. If you actually would Like to learn and would want some tips PM me, I've self-taught myself a lot about computers and building them and have done 4 of my own builds for myself and friends.
No offense, but 4 computers is almost nothing. The problem is not building a computer, the problem is finding the mistake if your "Lego system" just doesn't work. And to experience all the different problems you need to build a lot more than 4 computers (or even better fix others' computers).
Yeah, it's easy, but for the sake of finding a mistake I'd advise every PC building novice to take lots and lots of pictures during assembly, it makes error tracking much easier afterwards. And it's nice to document it anyways. A good starting point for self-built computers are the MMO-Champion systems, and they even have a specific forum for questions regarding these systems over there.
well, i'm not form USA, so i'm not sure, but around here what i do is i look the prices in differents stoers for parts, pick one, go there and tell them what im loocking to do, they help me out with the "this piece wont work with this one, how about this other one" and for a little extra money they put the whole thing together for me
I'd be careful with that. It might work out, but oftentimes they just put some crap components together that are just sitting in their storage room forever and won't sell because no one is asking for it. (Source: I had to re-build/fix a lot of those computers myself.)
If you have no idea about "what goes together with what" and no idea about the internal parts itself, you can read it up (there are a lot of websites, professional magazines, and blogs about this) and before you go ahead and buy everything just post your shopping cart in any forum you trust (e.g., just in the offtopic section of this one). Never trust a single source that might just rip you off.
To be honest, assembling a computer was much more difficult ~15 years ago - nowadays there are only a handful of reasonable types of CPUs anyways, the mainboard contains many components that you had to buy separately back in the days, and the parts are labeled so well that it's simpler than assembling a 10 piece Lego set. Still - if you have no clue about this stuff, don't want to read it up yourself, and don't have a close friend who can help you with that, just buy a PC off the shelf.
