The problem is that you have another hand in the middle. Intel makes the CPU and then razr wraps it up and sells it to you at a markup. Nvidia makes a gpu and then someone throws it on a board for razr and then razr wraps it up and sells it to you at a markup. Why wouldn't I just buy it on a pci-e board for less because there will be competitors. Anyone here can build a PC - it's not hard. But that is the problem that this is trying to solve - that it is hard. "For more than 30 years, only the most hardcore enthusiasts were able to take advantage of PC customizability. Convoluted hardware made it insane for the average person: knowing what does what, what works with what, and how to connect the pieces." So this is for the guy that wants to build his PC but not actually learn how to build it. It's like radio shack xmods - you can put a new engine in your car to make you feel like you're working on a car but you're not working on a car. You're working on a toy that looks like a car.
