I’m planning on building a PC soon and, while I have done plenty of research, I’d like to hear advice from people who have experience in the area personally. It’s also just nice talking to other people in general, lol

If you can, just pick the parts but don’t build it yourself, ask a friend who knows what he’s doing and watch or pay for it. You really really don’t want to screw it up with these GPU and CPU prices.
I would, but unfortunately I don’t know anyone with experience in this area. But I won’t be doing it by myself, and I’ve done quite a bit of research, so I at least think I won’t mess up to the point of breaking anything
The site from which you buy your components doesn’t propose you to pay for assembly ?
No, sadly. Besides, I don’t know if I would go with that option even if it was. I’ve been wanting to build my own PC for a while and I am willing to run the risk, although it would be nice to have somebody with experience help
It’s fairly safe to just do it yourself. Simply be aware you don’t have to force anything too much. Pushing the ram into the slots is likely the most force you need. Even if you get something wrong as long as you didn’t apply to much force and break some pins you can just reseat it and try again.
CPU is the one you’re most likely to mess up but that takes virtually no force at all. If you’re using basically any force, stop and turn it because you clearly don’t have it lined up correctly. They should drop in and then lock into place.
If building it is of interest to someone I think anyone can do it. If you don’t know, just stop a check a youtube video but these days it’s fairly easy to do and virtually impossible to plug anything into the wrong spot.
