    mistakes actually have consequences

    You can just copy someone else’s build on PCPartPicker. There are so many to choose from.

      Sure, if you are certain you found one that is current with current availability and pricing and where none of the specific parts have shot up in price relative to their alternatives. I have literally build a dozen PCs over the last 20 years and it would still take me time to make sure I had an optimal build at a reasonable price, even if using someone else’s build.

        That’s because you’re trying to achieve “optimal”, which is not a requirement if saving time is your concern.

      Great, and what do they do when they can’t order a specific part?

      That is right, they will still have to do research.

      And afterwards they will have to pay someone else to put it together.

      Or they can skip all that difficulty and pay slightly more for a box that just works 100% of the time.
