For me, loading & configuration of drivers/updates is the “90% sanding” process of a build.

90% trying to find a GPU at a reasonable price.

Probably dealing with optimization issues
For the actual build process it’s cable management. That takes a long time to learn to do efficiently and unless you build PCs at a job you probably won’t ever get enough experience to do it well quickly

Cables and cords. In the computer, coming out of the computer, on your desk, under your desk. Make it as tidy as you want, you’ll be doing it twice over every time you need to change something in your setup. Cables and cords, man.

We have to divide it into ‘building’ and ‘using’.
For building it’s probably however ‘staring at your 80% finished build and thinking how to cable manage the 3 cables you forgot about, without ahving to unplug everything’ is called.
For ‘using’…
idk, waiting for updates?
