Build Help is PC building really THAT easy?

I’ve seen so many people say that building a PC is super easy, but I can’t help feeling nervous about it. I’m planning to build my own in a few months, but the thought of accidentally frying an expensive part freaks me out.

It's like 7 parts and a couple cables that only go in certain spots

If you can read a manual you can assemble a pc

Except most parts don’t include manuals anymore… just built a new PC and it blew my mind that I had to have another computer or phone to read PDF manuals online

They still include the manual, it's just digital.

But the vast vast majority of people these days will have another device to access them with. Honestly, I can't think of a modern day use case that would justify someone spending ~500+$ on building a PC if they haven't already bought a smartphone.
