I went for many years without a desktop. I never found that I needed one for my development work. A MacBook Pro was always enough. However, in 2015 I wanted to get back into gaming, which I'd basically stopped engaging in all throughout college. I decided to build a gaming PC. I ended up with a 6700k and two 980 Ti cards in SLI. It was the first time I'd ever had such a fast gaming PC, and being able to max out everything at 1440p and still get 70+ FPS, even in games like The Witcher 3, was nothing short of a revelation to me. That machine can still max everything out at 1440p today. So, to me, it was totally worth the cost and effort of assembling.
