I dont think its an issue with if you want to build it or not but more if you are capable. it takes about 10 minutes to actually assemble the pc and 5 more minutes to install the drivers.
If you chose to reinstall your OS while you do it then maybe an extra 10 minutes of just waiting for it to install...
unless you are so rich that 300-400$ price break isnt worth 15 minutes of your time

I think you are greatly underestimating the time required to assemble a pc. I have built over 100 PCs from scratch in my lifetime and rebuilt countless more. There is almost no way you can go from boxes to built to working PC with an OS install in under 25 minutes. Especially if you are dealing with new or different hardware each time which a normal builder would be in most cases.
Also your prices left out the OS cost. I know most people pirate their OS but if you actually buy it like you should then it is 99-199 in price which adds considerable cost. I am not an AMD fan, however this is due to the .Net development I have done in the past and what my company does now. AMD does not work well with developing .Net software.
