I have built a lot of desktops over the years. I've run into lots of strange issues. One machine would bsod like once a week and I never worked out why. Once a video card was somehow not compatible with the system despite being fine on paper. It's just an issue of how you value time. I have no time for those sort of way issues these days. When a hard dusk fails I want to call a vendor and have them show up with a part, not screw around with some return to base arrangement.

A hard drive? It's cheaper and easier to buy and pop in a new hard drive or ssd than it is to get on the phone with tech support.
