How hard is it to build a gaming PC? Should I just buy a prebuilt instead?

my friend didn't know anything about computers and he built one with my guidance (which was shit ) Literally just watch build videos and you'll get the gist of it

if you're a sperg just use this. prebuilts are almost always shit/too expensive.
also building pcs is relatively easy.

Please tell me I don't need water-cooling for bigger games. Most of the highest-rated builds on that website require water-cooling

hardest part is picking out good parts that fit within your budget, but use part picker like suggested and you'll be fine.
actually building them's a piece of cake. just put part A into slot A. if it connects without resistance, you did it right. if not, don't force it, you probably put it in the wrong place. just use common sense and handle the parts with care and you'll be good. watching people build their PCs in person or online can be a great asset too. or you could just take it to an IT place that offers technicians to help build it for/with you, but that'll cost an arm and a leg as well, you're really better off doing it yourself. prebuilts are garbage. prices are gouged to hell, they're often shoddily built, and the internal hardware's more often than not of a lower quality than what you'd get if you just bought the individual component(s).

No, watercooling is not needed, unless you're planning to overclock the cpu.

watercooling is absolutely not required for building a gaming PC
