LOL. "I am disinterested in doing [a thing] that I don't have to do."
"Hurr hurr, ur pathetic."
Good fucking christ, this person isn't into building computers. The opinion expressed is utterly harmless and their personal preference. You are free to build all the computers you want.
Oh, yeah, anything can be super easy for people are interested in and experienced with doing that thing.
Building a computer properly is way more than "plugging parts into marked slots," and your comment is disingenuous at best. RAM timings, socket types, cooling selection, power supply selection, wire routing and dressing, version/generation conflicts, Red vs Blue, will the GPU even fit in this computer case, counterfeit parts... And this is all before the thing is plugged in.
PCPartPicker.com exists, handles all this for you with giant "you missed something" red text if something won't work, and is one of the most commonly suggested beginner tools. If someone's complaining about being told to build their own, theyve been told about that tool
People get scared of a very simple task because people like you spread nonsense that makes it sound hard
