I would say I'm an advanced computer user and have a descent understanding of what components I would need in order to assemble a computer from scratch but I want to know for sure. The basics I figure are a motherboard, a processor, a hard drive, RAM, a case, and a CD-ROM. Am I missing anything? How difficult is it to assemble all these items? Can anyone give me detailed instructions?
 
u missed out on power supply.
its simple-not as hard as it sounds actually.
you'll have diagrams/booklets provided when you purchase the hardwares
 
You're missing out the graphic cards and the Power Supply Unit.

Some graphic cards are built into the motherboard, some aren't.

Some PSUs are built into the case, some aren't.

To start building, you need to test your knowledge in hardware. The first and hardest part of building a computer is the time it takes to research and just look around to familiarize yourself with the hardware standard.

Just go to newegg.com and look around. See which socket is for which processor, which RAM, and which Graphic Card.

See which power supply is compatible with the motherboard.

These stuffs are for the compatibility. Once you are done, the building of the computer is pretty easily, what with all the plugs and sockets customized so that you wouldn't so much as plug it invertedly.
 
well...everyone has their opinions like peanut...macs are MOSE expensive than PC's that's for sure...lol
Assembling a computer is both fun and educational. It sounds like you know what you need and want so the next step is sitting down Indian style in the middle of your living room floor and doing it. That's how I got started.
Watch out for static electricity though.
It's VERY easy.
