Building is rather easy, troubleshooting and making decisions are the hard parts. 

 

As long as you watch plenty of videos for reference you'll be fine.

It was fun building it and at the same time it was HARD, and I also learned that I would never spend that much money on a build  :lol:

But that is pretty what I would throw my money at for 2k gbp, add some more fans for that 100 gbp.
