I've built my own PC in the past, but now I do most of my gaming on consoles. All I really need is a simple box to run the cool indie stuff on Steam and some of the legacy games. I'm still going to play my shooters and most other games on my console. That's where my friends are. I just need something for those games that rarely make it to consoles that are on Steam. I'm probably 80% console and 20% PC at this point.
I just don't PC game enough to put the effort into researching all the parts (don't get me started on all the various video card options and price points, cpu's, mobos, etc). I spent 2 weeks researching my last PC build.
Even though I've worked in IT for going on 20 years, I still always worry about hardware support too (I'm the software guy). I've had PCs last 5 years without a hiccup (the one I built myself actually), but I've also had them go bonkers 6 months in.
