I would be confident building something my parents would use, but for my own use wanting Raid HDDs and other things means I would be less confident, also looking at component costs vs built cost I found the difference to be about £20 so not worht my time.

No offcece mate, and im sure Richard is a bit tacked off now - but building up your own PC is half the fun of owning one IMO.
I wouldnt do it any other way AND i have had problems in the past.
But you learn as you go - simple things - like looking at forums to see what other people with the same parts that you intend to buy are having problems with and how they got them fixed and what a companys support is like.
