What do you think th hardest part of building a PC is, I would probably say its installing the mobo in the case

Picking out all the compatible parts.

Actual assembly?
Installing a large air cooler.

I would say proper cable management is the hardest most time consuming part.

I would say the first time you clamp down the processor, I was fairly sure the noises it made meant I had shattered it to pieces lol. Fortunately no , second I would +1 installing the cooler.

I guess it does depend on what cooler you are installing some tend to be more of a pain than others.

the hardest part would have to be picking out the best parts for your budget. unless you stay current on parts it can be quite a big list of things to sort though.

the most worrisome part is clamping down a big cpu cooler. they are on there VERY tight. i remember the first time i put one on i thought i was going to break the board in half.

Picking parts is the hardest, you want to get the best you can for the budget.

Then cable management so it looks pretty inside and is easy to work on.

Need to find some sexy sata cables. Flat ones are hard to work with and look bad.

actually flat cables can work quite nicely if your case has grommets and you can route cables flat behind the motherboard tray. it all depends on your particular case and situation.
