Besides gaming what is the benefits of building such a powerful machine?

For fun, bragging, to show off, everything else is faster.

All those things Peterhaung13 said

PLUS it is often a way to build at least some element of "future proofing" into a new machine. The faster more powerful units still become obsolete due to technology creep - but if the thing has some "grunt" up front - it has some chance of not being "left behind" so quickly

Yes, the faster a PC is, the longer it generally lasts before upgrades.
