Have you ever built your own PC?

For most of my life I've been a Mac user and I have no intention of getting rid of my MacBook Pro, but I have been gaming more and I'd love to have a decent gaming PC. I'm considering building my own, though I've heard it can be quite a PITA. Have you built a desktop PC before?

Pita bread? Yes a few. Just preselecting options and buying it as a kit to self assemble can save money if thats what youre after. Most parts are plug n play so easy. Compatability is easier these days. Start with how long you want it to last, do you want future proofing. There's tons of info out there to help!

@SW-User Thanks :) Yes, I would like it to last for several years. My last PC lasted for 6 years before it just started to show signs of age (and not very future proof).

@SW-User I'm not an expert but 6 years is future proof! Lol technology is moving so fast. Moore's Law!? Equivelent tech to your mobile phone got men on the moon!
