Yea, I actually don't mean just business usecase, though obviously at work - SPEND THE MONEY, you're paying a fraction of peoples salary. But at home, unless the actual build of the computer and troubleshooting etc is part of your hobby, I strongly think you can get a workstation that can do what most people need, including moderate gaming, and it'll just work for a long time.
Of course, if your hobby is cutting edge gaming and you want to update GPU every year or the like, then yes, you get to deal with crap like bad batches of parts. However, then I don't get why you're getting cases that won't hold the parts and brackets you want to use.
My final point is I gave up on PC gaming because the software management was a real big PITA vs using a console where it's way more "someone elses problem" if the software doesn't run. Games crap all over windows and make it unstable and insecure. And I never wanted to have 2 PCs, one for games and one for everything else - might as well have the console then and save pain. But I also kind of outgrew videogames so YMMV.
