Guess what building a pc is not worth it.
I am not sure that going to a site calling itself "Hacker" News and writing such a comment is not blatant trolling. Or maybe this is a sad side effect of developers using Macs.
I am useless at building things and I built a PC that has never given me problems. I even bought the wrong case!
The fix for some kind of weird power issue is to roughly calculate what kind of power you need and buy a decent power supply -- it will probably be better than the commercial grade desktop and give some headroom for future upgrades.

There are more kinds of weird issues than a poorly spec’d CPU. Scratched traces, shorts caused by something touching something it’s not supposed to, etc.
