I guess that depends if your own time is worth anything to you?

Take this $330 system; HP Pavilion Rayzen 3, 8GB, 1 TB, etc

To build a comparable system from scratch is going to mean I have to invest ? 3 hours? Say 1 hour to use something like pcpartpicker to verify the components are compatible, 1 more hour to order the parts, and another hour to build the system. I would guess most people would probably spend twice that, say 5 hours?

Even if you only value your own time at minimum wage, then you would have to get all the comparable parts for ... $280. Yea, I don't see that happening. And if you value your time like I do, well... *shrugs*
