I do all my own set up work unless it's a serious problem.
Buzzing can be.... your nut, your action, your trust rod all as mentioned.
With the nut a quick fix can be to take a pencil and rub it into the groove, this should temporarily stop minor buzzes but you do have to keep doing it.
If it's the action I can't help you with acoustics
Trust rod, you have to be very careful. Don't completely detune your guitar, tune it down enough to gain access to the trust rod cap, right to tight, left to loosen. Only do quarter turns with your Tools at a time. If your neck is to tight it will be bowed up, if it's to lose it is to straight.
Again most guitars under 500 bucks are going to have problems out of the factory. They're made with cheap ass wood, low quality tuners and nuts and in some cases are completely impossible to work with.
Go and pick up a case dehumidifyer and when you are done playing return your guitar to the case. This is very important with newer instruments for the first year probably to help it while the wood is still young. Older guitars are pretty much set in how they will react.
It's a good idea to twice a year take your instrument to a Tech when the weather shifts from Fall to Winter and Spring to Summer.
I spent 30 minutes last night going over everything on my main axe, with a little practice you won't really need to spend money unless you get something bad happening to your baby.
