The hardest part is to put the processor on your motherboard and to put the fan onto it. You need to know what you're doing or you will damage your computer.
If you want to try it, you need to read a lot about it, which will also take a week if you don't know anything now.
I recommend you wait for your friend and then watch how he does it 
P.S. What parts did you buy in the end?

Hey there!
I receive my material yesterday and mount it alone! For all those who want to mount their PC here are my problems and advices
Had some problem with the power because the box had not good shape.
For the processor, it was easy but I was scared to put some force to close the ventirad.
For graphic card and HDD it was pretty easy.
The motherboard was pretty boring to mount in the box again with my box problem I think it took me 1hour I think to mount it :/
Finally take me 4hours to mount all the PC and I follow a video tutorial
For cables, it wasn't easy but YOU HAVE TO READ the manual of the potherboard because they explain everything.
Finally this morning I'm making my installation and can play PCM 
Here some screenshots with my config. I can play with max settings everywhere
I wanna thank shortsNL for his help to choose the components!

Congratulations man!
How was mounting the processor? Did you not forget putting on cooling paste?

Pretty easy!
There was some cooling paste on the processor when I opened it, do you think it's enough or do I have to put some?

What do you guys think of this laptop? Good enough to kick PCM's ass?

donh't know a lot about computer but I think you can have better for less
I have a toshiba satellite with i5/8gb ram and 1to disk and it's good enough.
Don't remember about graphic card
Bought it 1 year ago for 700€

In this day and age you probably need should look for i3/5/7s now but the graphics card is fine, might be difficult to max out your settings with a laptop under budget |
