The part I find challenging about building a PC is shopping for components. Making sure the RAM is compatible with the motherboard and all that shit. Assembling the thing is like really expensive legos that take a disconcerting amount of force to click together.

Edit:

I had about 13 years between my current PC built in December of 2024 and my previous machine. Back when I built the previous PCs, I would rely on books to research what to get. It's gotten a lot easier with pcpartpicker.com.
