a) Several online shops in Germany offer to sell parts only, a customer-configured system via configurator or a bunch of completely pre-configured, ready-made systems to choose from. All customers can be served that way - as per their "DIY-level".
b) Why should I assemble the parts if I select them via a configurator in an online-shop?
If the customer configures a complete system ("built-to-order") it should come ready for use. This is also better for most people in regard to guarantee...
c) Some big name manufacturers often use customized mainboards (build by Asus or the other regular mainboard companies) in their sets - with a custom BIOS so you can't use regular BIOS updates from the mainboard manufacturers. I'd use rather "normal" retail components instead.
d) I'm not too sure that this would make a lot of money if component prices are competitive.
e) The Amazon bundle you linked to isn't too hot...
