If this is being built for you should only have to make a account in your name if the PC will have Windows installed.

 

Other then that you should not have to do much unless thee company your buying your PC from does not do any of the updates which they should do,they should also have everything all done for you..you should be able to just hook everything up and turn the power on and you should see a setup screen but they may have all ready set it up for you..

 

It be just like buying a new PC from Bestbuy,Walmart and other store that sells PC's..

Ok if looking on how to build a PC here is video that Linus did,I know it is not going to be the same as the one  your building but it give you a idea how to get your PC built,if you need more help I can try to help you build your PC from building it from scratch.

 

So what I would do first is get everything together first and when you have that done I can help you install Windows..actually I post a video how to install Windows..

 

Again these video is a sample on how to setup your new PC,Also do you have a copy of Windows 7 or 8 as you will need this also,I said Windows 7 or 8 as you did not mentioned what OS you where going to run,the steps are pretty much the same for ether Windows 7 or 8..
