What's your budget? I recently put together a computer back in December 2015, and...I'd have to say, avoid build-your-own-PC now.
Apparently there's a 1-2% initial failure rate amongst PC components, so let the PC manufacturer find that out at the factory and fix it, rather than you be the one running back and forth to the nearest MicroCenter for parts.
(What happened was I think I got a motherboard with some bad parts, it could only recognize two out of four sticks of RAM in it; if you put more than 2 sticks in, it failed to boot/POST. If two or less, it booted. I didn't feel like taking everything out of the case to take the mobo out to see if it was bad, so I'll just wait until RAM prices fall enough to upgrade to 32GB (wanted that on four sticks, had to settle for 16GB on two sticks)
