Help building a PC

Does anybody know of anybody or would anybody be willing to help me build my PC? I am about to spend £1800 on a sandy bridge PC. I am too nervous about stuffing it up. Plus I have never overclocked a CPU. I am in Liverpool.

I once saw a post on here with somebody asking for help building a PC so before anybody asks I am male lol.

If your going to spend that amount and your afraid of stuffing it up, have you thought of buying a pre-built?

leaves enough to add a few extras too.

EDIT: there are quite a few to choose from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=43&catid=1917&sortby=priceAsc

I would prefer to buy the parts and build it. The last time I built a PC was about 7 years ago and things have changed a lot. Getting help building it will get me back up to speed. There is something satisfying about building it yourself. Well in my case building it with help lol.

I couldn't agree more, why not just go for it, take your time and read plenty, I know it's daunting when you have all those boxes and parts spread out in front of you, but it is quite easy.

Well I tried lol. It is just too much for me lol. I did get somebody to help me. Our cable management was terrible. I am awe of the way some of you do cable management. Also 2 fans I bought are too loud. I have ordered different ones.

Is there anybody in Merseyside who can help me rebuild and overclock my PC? I don't expect you to do it for free. I will travel you.
