Is it hard building a pc? Cuz I have 0 idea how to. I was at my friends house and I was playing on his pc and I wanted to get one for myself. After doing some "research " online, I found out its better to build one. But my knowledge of pc parts and what they do is pretty much nada. I'm just the average 16 year old

Most builders I know including me add about 10% so that would be 65 euro more then it already is
