It's pretty easy to put together a computer. Make absolutely sure you stay grounded the whole time, and it is difficult to go wrong. Even heatsinks these days have been made "foolproof" by guiding brackets and heat-spreaders designed to prevent chip cracking.

Takes a bit of time depending on the case and your operating system.
