Then again, you can take a simple course to gain the knowledge to build the PC yourself.
Or, you can do it yourself, like I did.
The place at which I was working had a dead computer, and I took it home. I took it apart. I studied a bit to learn what I was looking at.
Then, I identified the problem and fixed it - and I had a working computer. (WOW, when I took the hard drive apart I noticed a big gouge in one of the platters, possibly because my boss got mad and threw the computer into a wall!)
But then I found that it would not run a program that I wanted to use. So guess what? I did a little more research and found the parts I wanted to upgrade the computer.
Yes, I made some mistakes. Like, I chose a certain type motherboard that used a certain type of memory module that became extinct too soon. Or, I changed a BIOS setting that hosed my hard drive in the effort to gain that last little bit of performance. And yet another reformat/reinstall. But that was way back in the old days of the 8088/8086, the 286 and 386 - and you are not likely to make those types of mistakes today unless you dig way WAY deep.
All it takes is a little desire to gain some knowledge, and then work with that knowledge.
You want to be told the answers, instead of finding your own through your own intelligence. That is the lazy way.
It is also the way that you never really KNOW what you are doing, and why.
Do your research and build the best system that you can. Learn from your mistakes. And in the end, you will feel more proud and confident of yourself than if you simply went with the best guess that someone else could offer.
And who knows... That experience might even pay off in the form of a job at a very unique company - with you at the center of things, because of your ability to learn what you need to know. (Heck, you might even start your own because of your own unique talents)
