Is building a PC still worth it?

Silly question, but can I just confirm that the sum we're talking about is 3 THOUSAND dollars, and not 3 HUNDRED (which while not what was specified, would make a lot more sense in the context of the original post!)

It's 3 THOUSAND.

For $3,000, I could get you a PS3, Xbox 360, huge monitor, desktop with some extras.
