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.

i just upgraded a week ago, i just rebuilt it how can i underesstimate something i just did.
I spent an hour researching which parts to buy but you have to do that with a prebuilt pc as well, unless you are just that ignorant to let a random joe build a random pc at a random price you dont understand.
I was a bit harsh against intel I understand some things are designed with the intention of using intel components so it runs better with that. I just grew up poor and bought what I could afford so I always went with AMD which really is little to no difference from intel for the majority of programs out there.
Never bought an OS in my life, Robin Hood would never pay the greedy king
