^^ That. Putting the pieces together is like building with Legos.

There's two main issues in building your own. The first is choosing the right components which can be divided into two categories, compatibility and reliability. For compatibility building apps like PC Part Picker are of great help, reliability is a bit tougher one but the better quality items usually are quite well reviewed by independent testers while the cheap ones only have user reviews on far-away (Middle-East, former Soviet satellites etc.) webshops.

The second issue is to install Windows in a way that it takes as little resources as possible, with a minimum number of unneeded crap that decide to perform an update right in the middle of a boss fight.

The problem building your own is the heaps of industry specific product knowledge required to not be led up a blind canyon by the hardware sellers.

Building your own PC is one of the easiest things to do in regards to computers...

EDIT: Building a PC for the right budget with minimal bottlenecks is one thing and certainly a skill. But putting together a modern PC on a fullsize ATX platform is very hard to screw up and you can learn how to do it on youtube in 30 minutes.

Go check out the prices for a game called " X plane " i think it is.

For the most part they looked cheaper, but also have to pay $80 for the base game. Interesting. I had never even heard of that sim.

I was browsing around on the DCS site earlier.  I knew you had to buy aircraft, but JEEZ.  $75 for a plane? Do they run deals periodically, or how does that work?  (not complaining, just expressing my surprise)

10 years ago or so DCS was in a slump. Module prices dropped a lot. Seems I bought 4 licenses of the Huey at $10 each. Multiples of other mods too. Intended for my grandsons. They made a dramatic come back not long after. Just a bit of trivia.
