Hello! I've been thinking about building a computer, as my title suggests. I wasn't sre where to go to voice my trepidation on the subject, but I decided to ask here. I'm not sure whether I should buy or build a computer; I know that building can be cheaper for better options and that it's easily customizable, however...I have a month to figure this all out. I'm trying to get a computer before I start school again in August, and although I've been doing my research, I've never built a computer or really anything of the sort before. I know basics, but I'm not sure I can make one that will satisfy me. I'd like other opinions. Do you guys think it's simple enough that I can do this with my time constraint and limited knowledge? Also do you think it's worth it? To clarify, I'm planning on not only doing school projects on this computer, but also playing games and maybe some minor video editing. If I'm going to make my own computer, I really need to get started, so if anyone has a suggestion of where to begin please enlighten me! If there's a certain webpage that can point me in the right direction or if you know what the best way to do it is, especially for a first-timer, please share! Lots of people have seemed to ay that computer building is like legos, but I have a hard time believing that it's that easy. Thanks!
Edit: Somehow I forgot to mention, but my budget is $1000.
