Used to be daunting, but for my last few builds I have used some combination of PC Part Picker and the selections from the seasonal TechReport.com guides. Much easier than a couple decades ago when I was a teenager.

Should also be mentioned that the manuals that come with things like motherboards and cases are much more detailed than they used to be.

PCPP is useful to look up if your build or a build similar to yours is gonna have problems or little gotchas.

PCPP is really revolutionary. Building a PC in 2018 should be easy.

The only priblem is a lot of everchanging technologies and acronyms, e.g. NVMe, M.2, etc.
