If you're the type of person who looks at the specifications while buying a PC, then building isn't much harder than buying pre-built systems.
I suppose "harder" is ambiguous in this context, but building a system is *lot* more work than buying a prebuilt system. Are you actually claiming it isn't?

Buying a prebuilt system means clicking a few boxes on a webpage.

Building a system means choosing all the parts of the system you want, including things like the case and the power supply, then sourcing these items (which may or may not come from the same source), then ordering them.

Once you get all the pieces, you do the actual assembly, which can go quickly if nothing goes wrong (and it's not your first time), or which can take a long time if it is your first time, or, as has happened to me, one of the parts you ordered is defective and you have to figure out which one it is based on the computer not working.
