Stupid rear OI that has tabs on it where its supposed to clip onto the IO... My Z77 has it but my H77 doesnt...My Z77 doesnt work properly because I couldnt get it to line up easily and while getting frustrated at it damaged my board. They are the worst thing ever.

screwing stuff is annoying

So many striped screws and screwdrivers...

Trying not to cut myself on my CPU heat sink, apparently 1 mm thin aluminum is razor sharp, who knew?!

I had a lot of trouble connecting the front panel connectors xD. But seriously that was the most annoying and time consuming thing when i built my pc. Other than that, i`d say Cable management

Probably cable management. Not that it's hard, just that I'm very particular and like things very neat so it takes time. Sometimes takes several tries.

Troubleshooting.

 

Absolutely! Building a PC isn't that hard for me. I actually like doing the cable management because it's full of problem solving and figuring out ways how to make it the most pleasing way. Troubleshooting is one of those things, which I don't really like. Sometimes it takes longer than building an entire PC. And it can be bloody frustrating.

Installing an after market cpu heatsink, cause I worry if I install it incorrectly or put to much or little thermal paste.

Cable management and cpu cooler, well only aio water... Installing the rad plus fans were a two man job for me.
