It is simple though, you simply look at the slots, look at the card and see "Oh, this fits here... hey, this is just like that shapes game I played in pre-school where I had to fit the square in the square hole and the triangle in the triangular hole".

 

yeah, that is pretty much 80% if not more, the rest is the fine screws and then installing everything, making sure you don't drag your stuff on the carpet and plugging it all in but plugging it all in is the same task as above.


The average Joe actually can't assemble a PC. I see a lot of people struggling with the most simple computer tasks like taking a screenshot or something stupid like that. 99% of the people can't build a PC and would just probably break one or two parts.

Of course, if you know how to do it or has a friend to build it for you, it's the way to go. Only my first PC was bought in a store and it was a basic machine. After that, I always had more powerful PCs with the parts I want and I built them by myself. But it isn't a simple task, it's a lot of hours of work and dealing with cables and the best way to position everything. It's not like playing Lego. You have to know what you are doing. What's the correct PSU for your GPU and CPU? You have to know it. You have to put thermal paste (unless your CPU has a decent on on it). You have to know how to do it. And a lot of other details.
