For me it is not about how much money I do or don't save. Rather it is about the satisfaction that I get in building a machine to my exact specification which features a good blend of performance along with low noise characteristics. Also I select quality components which give me a good chance of attaining decent overclocking in the future when my machine starts to get a bit long in the tooth. Building your own machine is a great experience and there are plenty of internet forums dedicated to helping people with building their own PC's. Once you get over the fear of giving your machine a serious makeover you won't look back.
