I have never tried building a PC myself but I have gotten into reviving old ones. I haven't bought a computer in over a decade. I just inherit people's old ones and bring them back to life with linux, maybe replace a dead PSU or something. I'm new to hardware stuff. I really wish I knew a way to get these computers into the hands of people who can't afford to buy one and don't know how to do this themselves.
