It's terribly easy if you know what you're doing.  If you don't, it will be a chore to make sure you buy the right thing and at the best or close to the best prices.

I promise you someone who doesn't know what they're doing like the OP (and no offense meant by that), if they build a PC for $800 it's not going to be anywhere near the PC you build for $800.

Well, that's why I offered to spec something out. :)   Most people do buy parts incorrently (over-buying on the CPU and GPU and then sticking them into a cheapass case + PSU + mobo = an unstable, top-heavy, LED-laden monstrosity), but there's plenty of people (myself included) around these boards who can help in that respect.

Having someone helpful like you without a doubt helps, but then there's still the task of putting it together.  Putting it together is pretty much a pretty simple following of instructions, but if you've never done that type of thing it can be pretty daunting.
