It’s worth the knowledge to know how to build your PC because you’ll probably be upgrading your hardware regularly… and that’s just cheaper if you know how to do it on your own. Also - research your parts especially motherboard reviews. It will save you some nerves and extra trips to the computer shop. I’ve heard some unsavory things about tigerdirect… I personally would never buy from them. [Newegg.com](http://Newegg.com) is a great place to get affordable, quality parts. ---

Building your own pc is really cheaper, and it’s not very hard. First you make a list of what you need, (check the prices) and putting you pc together is very easy. It all points out itselves. … I would not buy a book, and if it really isn’t working, you can always ask a friend… ---

Putting it together isn’t hard. It’s finding compatible parts that’s that kicker. So read reviews. You can save even more money by checking out places like [HotDeals.org, [URL=http://www.bensbargains.net/]Ben’s Bargains, or [URL=http://www.spoofee.com/]Spoofee.com](http://www.hotdeals.org/).
