This bike ships 85% pre-assembled and unless you know what you're doing, it's best to have it assembled AND tuned by a competent bicycle mechanic.
For the initial price, it would be easy to upgrade the suspension to Fox or RockShox components, Honey Badger Pro tires, a more comfortable saddle, and Shimano XT hydraulic brakes.
Remember that the three most important things to riding a mountain bike are maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! Clean & lube the drivetrain after every dirty ride and keep an eye on chain wear so it won't wear out the components.
