I am new to pc building and I don't want to take a chance because honestly I do not know if I can do it. Is there a website or a store that assembles the computer for me if I give them all the parts and the case. I am willing to give around 100$ for the assembly. I live in Canada. Plz help

I have no idea about canada computer, I live in the USA so no knowledge about that store at all. Many stores will only assemble it if you buy the parts there.

For the love of god dont let best buy touch your computer. Take a 30 minute web video on building a PC and you will have more knowldge then 3/4 of the guys in there. They will just want to see you a prebuilt Dell anyways.

check for someone who could do it for u a friend or someone u can trust or just go to a local retail store and ask them if they assemble pc if u bring them the parts......you can do it yourself its not rocket science it very simple here is a link to a video which will guide u through out the setup in detailed way see this video and then decide that u can do it or not.....

I see you haven't had a good experience with bestbuy. Would u suggest me to assemble the pc myself even if I am doing it for a first time? Or is there a good chance I will mess up? I have checked the websites and they say that we will build for 50 but u have to purchase the parts here, its part of a deal. The gpus for example are significantly expensive here locally. I recently ordered a r9 270 for my current pc for 174from new egg. I am very happy with the price. That card here is about 230

How do I check if my parts are compitable or will fit in the pc? Or I can select anything and it will work in the case.

EDIT: Actually I might just buy a package from newegg that just sells the compnents and the case.

Follow a youtube tutorial. There are many guides out there that lead you through the process, step by step, so it's very unlikely that you can mess up. I built my pc myself with no prior knowledge and though I did have to go through some troubleshooting along the way, in the end it all worked out great.

Here's the video I followed:

Just saying you will regret it later if you buy a prebuilt.

If everything goes well with the build the total build time should be around an hour. I highly suggest to at least watch a youtube video on how to build a pc. If you feel you can follow the steps shown in the video, then you will be able to build the pc.

You're losing out on the money and experience you could get if you buy a prebuilt.

that is very true. I will watch the full video and make a decision. I really want to make my own pc. There are two things I am worried about, if each part will fit and what I have to buy and my inexperience. I mean how do I know if the HDD and SSD will fit cause everything has sizes. How do I know if the motherboard will fit in the case. How do I know if I need a 120 mm fan psu or 130 mm psu? In case you are wondering, I m not trolling. I am very serious and I just need the motivation plus confidence.
I hope u understand Thanks

EDIT: can u plz tell me what is missing from my pc components that are listed above (in another post) and then also tell me which ones to buy.

Where in Canada do you live? I too live in the greatest country on earth ( suck it UK! Lol ) I also was in your situation and chose someone to build my rig. If you live in western Canada then choose memoryexpress.com as I did. Or for anywhere else use ncix.com they are more expensive then memoryexpress.
With memoryexpress you can use pcpartpicker.com to price match and they will beat all Canadian competitors by 30% of the difference which ended up saving me almost $1000.
Hope this helps and good luck!

The only thing left would be an optical drive, which really you will only need if you need to use DVDs/CDs ( getting out dated). If you have a 4GB USB you can download windows onto the USB and install it directly from the USB.

I know prices are expensive in Canada, so I looked for prices where it included the shipping. Direct Canada offered free ground shipping on orders $50 and above.


I looked into the memoryexpress price match and they can beat two items by 25%... just a warning, but their shipping costs might make up for the 25% discount depending on the item.
