Are you taking everything into account. ?
They're putting it into your pc. They taking the responsibility for it if they brake it. They're taking the responsibility for it if it brakes within the warrentee period, they're taking the responsibility if it gets lots in the post which happens quite often from here where I am. They're saving money at shipping large quantities. I bet you, if select all the components you want (by the name) find out all the prices of each of those components (what you can get it for) and tell them that that is what you can build it (the price of your components put together) they will better it.

I enjoy that part, so paying them to do it is a loss to me.

I haven't broken anything yet, so I'm not worried about that part.

So do the individual component sellers, nothing lost there.

I doubt it. There are certain parts I want that no PC seller I know of would have bulk deals on (e.g. customizable liquid cooling systems, high air flow cases) because they aren't parts aimed at bulk consumption. What I want is a high performance PC, I want to be able to do anything and everything on it. It wouldn't make any sense from a business perspective for these companies to get bulk deals on these parts, because most of their market doesn't care. If we're talking a basic, cut down PC, that only needs to consume media, browse the web, and view and edit documents, that will never need to be upgraded, then sure, they will be a better deal, but I'm not in that market.

It's not about money.
Building your own also allows you to reuse parts of the old system.

When it comes to hardware I'm pretty clueless... All kinds of RAM, CPU's, motherboards, HD's etc.
I like to work ON the computer, not 'ON' the computer, if you know what I mean.
People are trained and specialized to get the best hardware that works well together into one computer, let them sort it out.
I'll worry about the software! That's one thing I hate, the pre-installed software that comes on new computers... Ah well, nothing a re-install can't fix.
It's an OO world.

public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }

I'm not too demanding with my machines.
As long as they have at least 8gb of RAM and a nice hard disk it's good enough.
CPU is not an issue if the two requirements above are met.
Although I'm much more demanding with the keyboard and the chair 
As for the personal machines, I left towers a long time ago.
Now I only have laptops being my current one a Toshiba Portege Z830, really light and powerful enough.
Love it!
Cheers!

I typically buy a brand name machine (new or used) and add options to it (disk, memory, graphics card). This is really a different choice from "upgrading parts" since nothing is replaced.

I think that sounds like "No, I get someone else to build a machine to my specificiations."

"Yes - I build my machines from the ground up except for laptops in which I upgrade parts"
All my desktops are custom made. But there is simply no way of building laptops in that way. The closest you can get is the customize laptop wizards on vendor sites and later upgrade RAM or HDD.

Never had a chance to build it from scratch. But still happy to upgrading the parts.
I wish, I could have written for my mind:
Mind.AsEnumerable().Where(m => m["EmptyCorner"] == "").ToList().ForEach(s => s.SetField("EmptyCorner", "C#, Asp.net, Linq, Java, .....Everyting"));
