I've never built a pc before and know barely anything about it, i'm planning on building a gaming pc in a month or so.
Is it hard or easy to build a gaming pc? Could i build one with no experience or will i mess something up and break something? I was planning on getting my mums friend to build it for me but idk if he will want paying or not so is it worth me giving it a go or just leaving it to his expertise?

Heres my build if any1's curious:

Cpu: amd fx 6300
Motherboard: msi970a-g43
Ram: kingston 8gb 1600 mhz
Hdd: wd blue 1tb
Gpu: xfx r9 270 boost 2gb
Case: zalman z9 plus
Optical drive: ihas 124-04
Psu: xfx 450w 80+

DO IT. everyone is nervous their first time(phrasing):p It seems overwhelming at first with all the numbers, compatability, will it fit... but its not hard at all. also get a slightly larger psu in case you ever want to upgrade you dont want to have to buy another one.
