All good frustrating fun - built five or six myself over the years, but the plain truth now is that even a trip to PC World will net you a PC for a fraction of the cost it would be to build it yourself.
Didn't used to be the case, but buying individual components from scratch isn't economical anymore.
Upgrading makes sense, but not a clean-sheet build, unless you want to do it just for the experience !
Merry Xmas from the wintery North
