Its intimidating at first, but it really is not that hard. For my first build, I ordered the kit from Yeti. Very easy to do, just like building a model. But the kits really are more expensive. You could just look at the kits, write down all the parts that are in the kit, an then buy them seperate. I just finished my second build, and I ordered everything seperate. the hard part is, you might end up ordering from a couple different places. Just let us know if you need any help.
