From This article on 100 Tech predictions. Personally, I'd argue the point -- the biggest trouble is when you need to upgrade the processor to a higher pin count than your motherboard supports, but for simple upgrades the largest factor is just going out and getting the part(s) (or, in some cases, figuring out what parts you need to get). Of course, this is me talking, and I've built a half-dozen computers from scratch, so maybe I shouldn't be talking.
