This book isn't just for dummies. Even if your an advanced user but not a pro at assembly you will find this book very helpful. great for both beginners and intermediate computer users. and considering all the information in it. much better value than any pc build book on the market.
only downside for me as a UK customer is that the websites recommended in the book are all American and some do not deliver to UK.
Other than that a very good book.

I don't mind letting you know i am 55 years old (which could be a handicap age wise) and i am disabled person who is housebound, in a wheelchair and have to take medication daily which causes short term memory loss, which in turn made me ask the question is "Build Your Own PC For Dummies" the book for me? I gave it a lot of thought and was afraid it would be to technical for me to purchase this book, what with my memory. I can now say with my hand on my heart that there was nothing to worry about as the book is like in my opinion as easy as A.B.C and easy to read, you are not caught up with technical jargon when reading it (which was worrying me) everything is explained in plain English. You start at the beginning thinking the worse but there was no need to worry it tells you about every part and explains what the parts are and what they do, it is the first book about PC's that really helped and i would recommend to anyone thinking about trying to build their own PC to get this book and they will see how well the book is laid out and a pleasure to read and use, i would also recommend "Build Your Own PC For Dummies" for people like myself, who's memory is not perfect because if you forget something just look it up, it's like a PC Bible and i am pleased i had the courage to buy it and i would say to you, "go on give it a try" and i don't think you will regret buying it. Thanks for reading this review and have a nice day. Andy.

Using this book i managed to build a damn good PC (which im using now to write this review), i had zero PC hardware knowledge at first but everything was explained very well i thought and by the end i was armed with enough knowledge to know what to buy, what to avoid and what to do.
Definately worth adding to your bookshelf if you're planning to build your first PC.
