I build my own computers. I'm never going back to getting someone else to do it for me. Or buying something prepackaged like Dell. I can decide exactly what goes in there. A manufacturer like Dell or Lenova aren't going to boast about what kind of power supply they have for example, or put in decent fans. They're going to skimp on these because a lower price will make the unit more likely to sell. But a better power supply means you can add more components in the future, will run more efficiently which saves you money on electricity and reduces heat, means that you only have to put in the cables in that you are going to use, which means better airflow, and is more likely to continue with any spikes. A cheap power supply is more likely to blow up destroying multiple components (better ones are less likely to damage other components in such a circumstance). Fans are another item that get skimped on. Get a better fan and you can reduce noise and cool it down more. This prolongs the life of your computer and saves electricity.
It means that if anything goes wrong, I can go in there and fix it or change components as I want. So many computers probably get thrown away when all they need is a change of thermal paste or whatever.
But if you don't feel confident building it yourself, you can go to a computer shop and they'll do it for 50 quid if you buy the components from them.
