Pretty much. And assembling a computer (as long as you're not doing weird stuff like liquid cooling) is basically just connecting modules... there's youtube videos on it. "Plug and play."

But for those that don't want to dabble with it... Buy a workstation PC, plug in a $100 graphics card, bam budget gaming PC. Or even a $60 card if you don't mind lower graphics settings.
