i think the best thing to do if you want to learn about how to do it is try to get an internship at a computer company or a job at a repair shop, but i would just buy one if i were you.

do it man. I knew nothing about computers and still dont but i built one like a year ago. It cost me around $900 but thats not including a monitor. And i had to buy windows xp so i guess u can take $100 off that price. And it ran all the top of the line games and it still does anything i want it to. As long as u know what parts go into a computer u can figure out how to put it together. Its real easy.

yeah that's what i've heard, but i don't wanna spend too much. Another thing, do you recommend buying the parts of the internet or a local computer shop?

I dont know anything about any local shops around me so i just bought everything off newegg.com. Shipping was like basically nothing and they have alot of stuff at real good prices. But if u have a local store, definetely check it out. Just go with which ones cheaper. If ur gonna buy a monitor though, id get that from a local store. Just so u know its in good shape.

totally worth it, i built my comp for 350 dollars after rebates, and it plays any new game smooth. the things you need will set you back about 250 if you shop around right.

look on google and just search how to build a computer. i think it would be cheaper to buy all the parts online, search for a shop. they usually have mad discounts. building a cmoputer is way cheaper than buying

motherboard, graphics card, processor, case(usually comes with power source and at least one fan), hard drive, memory, cd/dvd drive, keyboard, and a monitor. I think thats about it. And honestly, i cant stress enough how easy it was. Like i literally knew nothing about computers, like i didnt know what a hard drive did, and i was able to build a computer. If u have anymore questions, i might be able to help u if u just pm me.
