I have a friend who builds PCs for a living, and he had one guy pay him $5k and said go nuts. He built the best thing he could imagine, got it all together, and the damn thing wouldn't boot. Took him weeks of messing around to get it figured out (obscure voltage requirements for the GPU and MB drivers). This wasn't some noob either we're talking an experienced pro who does this all the time.

In my experience building PCs there's always some damn thing that gets fucked up. The last build I did took at least two days of tinkering to get it all running properly. Then one of the fans crapped out immediately and I had to spend another weekend taking it all apart and replacing it. That wasn't too bad when I was a single guy but now with a family and three kids there's just no way that's happening. I'm dreading the day this thing finally quits for good but I'll probably pay for a pre-built machine rather than dick around with it myself.

Meanwhile the wife appreciates having a slick PS5 she can jump on and play Diablo or Sandrock and not have to mess with anything.
