Depends on what CPU you are going to get. Screwing a mobo in your PC isn't that hard -just be careful with ESD- but the heatsink of a P4 can be tricky. Same holds true for placing a CPU.

The main difference between building in vid-crds/sound cards/memory on 1 side and a CPU on the other side is that the vid/snd/mem have a big margin for error. A CPU fits only 1 way, but can be damaged in many ways if done incorrectly.

A Motherboard is just "lastig" as you easily forget a screw or you can't allign it properly since sometimes you need 3 hands. The "Tip van Flip" in that case is to put your case on the side and use gravity to assist you in alligning the motherboard.
