The main building issue that scares me is seating the processor correctly (especially after recent shutdown problems). I might go with a tested MB/processor combo if I build myself in a few years.

This was my biggest concern about putting together my computer also, especially since it was my first build. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. No force was required to seat the processor. I just set it in place and pushed a lever to lock it down. Attaching the heatsink was a bit difficult due to lack of space in the case, but it wasn't really bad at all. Everything went smoothly with the provided instructions. This was with a retail box AMD socket 939 processor.
