Building your own computer can save you money, but more importantly, you know exactly what is in your computer, unlike Dell computers, for example, where you could wind up with any motherboard. The "downside" is that you are your own tech support. If anything goes wrong, you fix it yourself or it will not be fixed. That said, if you feel comforable enough, its a great experience to build your own computer, and enjoyable as well.
I'd advise reading the manuals (especially for the motherboard) and making sure to take everything slowly and methodically if this is your first time.
Also, though this may sound stupid, make sure you have everything (ie. cables, supply, etc.)
