New to building, considering this build.

This setup here will do everything I need it too?

How hard is it to actually put the PC together? I've heard it takes a novice about an hour and a half and is similar to putting together complicated lego's.

I can't stress enough the importance of reading your motherboard manual and getting totally familiar with it BEFORE you begin assembly, and proceeding through each step while following your manual, especially if this is your first build.

Some like to build outside the case and test components to achieve POST before assembly in the case, which is better should you have a defective component, but I just went for broke and a leap of faith to assemble one time inside the case, and never looked back. It booted right up nicely.
