See thats just it. It will "work"
If your taking the time to build a custom Rig I think your normally after more than "work"
I mean my rig came in aroun 2,200 With all the warranties. But The way its built and the parts I used it will run things 6 to 7 years from now.
I'm saying if your taking all that time and effort save up atleast 800 for parts and another 100 for warranties on the mobo and cpu
If you have a budget, then you're probably not looking for the best parts money can buy, you're looking for the best value for your money.
The purpose counts too. Maybe someone wants to make a cheap and portable LAN box, or an HTPC. Those kinds of builds don't generally breach the $600 mark.
Less knowledgable users may also not appreciate a more expensive build, and may opt for cheaper parts. At least that will get them started in PC building scene. If they're truly interested, they can expand their own knowledge and see the value in more costly parts.
