You do need to know some computer knowledge like what a ram stick is or a graphics card and a processor is but everything else is explained in the manual that comes with your motherboard. If you want, I could look up the parts for you, give me a specific price your looking for and I can find cheap but good parts that can run BL and many other games.
The best website to building your own pc is newegg.com
Again, reply back if you want to select the parts for you, I built my own as well.

I'm scared of building my own computer because I don't know how. Think if I do something wrong and mess up the whole thing? Can I do it in my room because I don't have a garage?
I also don't think newegg.com is the best choise for me because I live in sweden and my mom don't like ordering things from other countries because they might break.
Though building my own computer is probably the best choise.
How much do I need to build a good computer? Maybe not crysis 2 on best graphics, but at least not worst graphics.
Bisjac:
you can buy prebuilt-custom computers. they cost the same as custom building it piece by piece.
people always make it sound like you must buy parts to save the most money, thats not true.

They most cost at least a little more thatn buying it piece by piece, how would the creator earn money otherwise?
Bisjac:
the creators get wholesale bulk buys of products, they profit insanely.
if this wasn't he case, no store on earth would even exist.
everywhere you could ever find a $1,000 processor, they likely paid only $150.00 for it.
thats how stores work...
many many sites and sellers on the net assemble towers with wholesale products they have supplies of. and sell the whole thing even cheaper then you buying singular parts on newegg or somewhere.
alienware stuff... costs the most of anything anywhere
<
retail stores charge a lot because they have tons of middle men and overhead.
<
you buying part by part on the net saves more money
<
you buying a prebuilt-custom computer saves even more money as its a singular product using the cheaper items as the above step.
remember there is a huge different between retail prebuilds, custom builts, and prebuilt-customs

Well I still don't know where I can buy a prebuilt-custom computer, I don't even think I can afford a good one.
