Yeah I still feel like these are gross exaggerations just for the sake of arguing that building a PC isn't easy peasy

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying that spending a portion of the time that you spend looking up parts you want (which itself can also reduced by just logging onto any site including this one where people talk about building PCs and asking "I want to play games like [insert game here] at high settings, recommend a build with a budget of [insert amount here]") and watching a video like this where every single thing is discussed

is not some monumental task comparable to brewing beer. It's a computer, everyone has seen one in their life. Not everyone has seen the beer brewing process in action. You should know where you're going to put a computer before you buy one. You'll probably fuck up your very first attempt at building it by forgetting to plug something in, okay that maybe adds a few hours since there's only a few ways to plug and screw things in. It's obvious that the parts come in boxes and case take up space. It's not a dissertation.

And as far as enthusiasm, I don't really care about the building process other than seeing all of the components together at the end of buying everything. I figure the enthusiasm should be directed more towards "I just dumped a thousand dollars into this thing, I should spend time looking into this and not half ass it" unless you're super comfortable with your money situation.
