There comes a time when a student's knowledge may far surpass all that a teacher had to share with them. Or something like that. Anyway, I don't think I'm a hardware expert but several of us are indeed pretty good at digesting large amounts of information, filtering out that which is not very relevant to the tasks at hand, explaining what is left in an understandable way to those who might benefit from a more firm grasp of the basic and then the more advanced concepts, and filling in any remaining knowledge gaps for each other as they arise. And, the important part, we enjoy doing it.
That's a good plan too for many, but not as accessible to everyone. One of its drawbacks is that if something goes wrong with the build, not the parts themselves, there is no company standing behind it to fix or replace it. For example, if the PSU were to malfunction or not be suitable for the system to begin with, one runs the risk of having no usable computer at all in the end.
Given that I can't drive a nail into the wall to hang a picture without injuring myself or possibly taking down my building's electrical grid in the process (slight exaggeration), I tend to shy away from do it yourself tech projects more involved than say adding more RAM to a system designed to provide access to where it goes. Others' experiences and innate skills in this arena of course vary.

Buy parts from Amazon and build one. You won't find a better computer anywhere than the one you build yourself. Speaking from experience. And it's easy. I watched a few how to videos and that's it.
