I don't even bother buying prebuilt desktops in Canada because the components are always snazzy. As I get older, I'll probably just use the PC builder from memory express or newegg and pay them the $100 to build the PC for me. The only prebuilts that I buy are laptops.

The past two rigs I've gone with have been bought as parts and built by my island local PC hw store, mostly because I was working extended shifts during those times, so paying them up to £55-60 wasn't that much for me and was quite convenient (they even got the OS and everything installed and trimmed down for me to boot which was nice). 

I know it's nice to build your own rig, but sometimes it's also nice to have it built for you when you don't have the time, or you get older (like you and me).

Yea pretty much. I would have had the shops build it for me this time around if it wasn't for the whole "everything is out of stock" nonsense. Like I managed to get the 3080 in November, then I managed to get the Dark Hero in January I think, then I managed to get the 5950x in March. It's annoying cause in a case like this, the whole paying the shops for the components you want falls apart cause they won't have anything in stock. So either you pay for components that you potentially don't want or you just gotta wait until something is in stock and then buy it.

Least I don't have to worry about buying new components outside of a new GPU for the next 3-4 years at the very least. Especially with how good Ryzen 5000 is.
