Should you build you own computer?

Should people build their own computers or is it a waste of time? While I believe that building your own computer is a good thing to do and will help you understand them better, but to the average consumer, is it really a viable option? There are DIY yourself computers that come in parts and you just assemble but you also could just take it into a computer shop and have them assemble it for you. There are 4 things that could be a problem though, First, there's the added cost of an operating system license. This would something like Windows or Linux. Second, it can be difficult to source quality retail components. You need to pick each part with care and they have to fit with enough other. Third, PC home brewing takes a significant amount of time and effort. You need to have patience and there is some studying that is required to do it successfully. Lastly if you have a local PC shop build the machine for you, there's a very real chance it could go out of business and leave you without support. There is also quite a fall in PC’s and a large move to mobile. Because of this a lot companies that use to make individual parts that are not used to mobile devices are having to switch their roles and make parts that do work in mobile. The price of parts are going up and just finding the right parts in getting harder and harder. So with all these things is it really a good idea to build your own computer? Well, for the average consumer I would say no, it is not worth the time and effort to build your own, buying a stock computer would suit them better. But to anyone who already has the know how or is looking for a custom, extra powerful computer I would highly recommend building your own. Many stock computers have are higher end cost a lot more and if you look at the specs they sometimes cut corners in hopes to save money, like having a small amount of RAM or a terrible graphics card. If you are scared of the task of building your own computer I would recommend looking at builds, and watching videos on the actually assembly.
