No problem! In that case, it is certainly better to build your own custom system. Putting together a PC is very simple, and you can find hundreds of guides on YouTube and thousands of others all over the internet. Installing the CPU is very easy, especially with certain AMD ones (don't let that deter you from Intel though if you want that brand), and there is...

If you already have an OS, tower, and monitor, or that PC lacks a monitor with it, it is certainly better to buy separate parts. You say you need a PSU and GPU, is there anything else you need?

Putting together a PC is very simple, and you can find hundreds of guides on YouTube and thousands of others all over the internet. Installing the CPU is very easy, especially with certain AMD ones (don't let that deter you from Intel though if you want that brand), and there is very little risk of damaging parts as long as you take all necessary precautions. They are very hard to break if you follow a few steps, such as taking anti-static measures, watching out for the pins, not touching the underside, etc. It's pretty "noob-friendly", with the thousands of online guides it is not hard to do now adays. You usually want to place one moderate drop of pea-shaped thermal paste in the center of the CPU. KEY IDEA: Do NOT spread the paste, it will spread with the pressure from the heatsink!

This video is a good demo of how to apply the paste: http://youtu.be/-hNgFNH7zhQ
