I'm In the the process of saving for a sort of future proof gaming pc. There are only 2 ways i can go with this,I can get it custom built by a company or i can Pick the parts out in buy them myself.
There are Pros and cons to each option
If i buy from company,it will cost less then buying all the parts myself. But here is a possibility for company error when building it(also I could mess up building it too)
I'm stuck. Anyone got any suggestions?

Either, If you want to build your own, then try to find good and cheap parts.
If it's built by a company, then it will be exactly the same, but it might cost more.
Make sure you don't get an alienware, very bad specs, overpriced and most of the money goes on the stupid case.

Putting it together is much cheaper and will yield a much more powerful computer.

That's wrong. Building a PC yourself costs much less than buying a pre-built one. God knows where you got that idea from...

Building it yourself will be a lot cheaper, you won't have to pay for labour costs.
