Since there's not an assembly manual yet, it's hard to say. But probably it's a lot like the K3 but less complicated. I believe it's another no-solder kit, so you're basically mounting boards and components and plugging in the interconnection cables & jumpers. I believe there are a couple of main boards, LCD display, battery holder, etc.
If by discrete components you mean things like resistors and transistors, I'd say no. But if you consider things like connectors and so forth to be discrete components, then yes. If one can follow written instructions carefully, tell the difference between screws of different lengths, etc., most people will have no difficulty. Since you haven't ordered yet, by the time you could receive a kit any difficult spots will have been worked out and discussed here, and there will probably be YouTube videos of people doing the assembly. 73- Nick, WA5BDU Screwdrivers and kitchen table ready for my KX3.
