You should and it is rather easy (for the most part) these days. It is all very straightforward to put together a PC, take your time and follow the instructions that come with the motherboard. The biggest challenge is if you put it all together and the system doesn’t turn on. You may need to flash the bios. AMD processors and graphics cards are good, but perhaps require a bit more troubleshooting than Intel + Nvidia. I have a 5900X and while very good, I had to flash my motherboard bios to have it recognized and then again later to fix a TMP issue. These are small hurdles I haven’t encountered with Intel in some time and I would imagine would be a real head scratcher for a first time build. If you are building for gaming it is also worth noting that Nvidia DLSS is a feature that is very much worth the premium in my opinion. But depending on what games or what you are looking to do with your machine AMD cards can be the better value.
