This a rather open-ended question and largely depends on the type of thing you're trying to build.
In general, parts-based projects tend to involve custom pieces, upgraded parts and unusual designs that involve more parts than a standard AEG.
As such, their final cost tends to be higher than a new AEG, but the finished product reflects the time and effort that was put into it.
Without additional details, the answer then is that the project is worth it if you consider your time and money well-invested--it depends on your own personal perception, and we can't really provide an answer for you.
