People come here for advice on a STOCK computer and you people say "Oh just build one"
I mean really? They don't want to build a computer! THEY WANT TO BUY ONE!
I guess what i'm trying to say here is Why is building a computer better than buying one?

It's generally MUCH more cost-efficient. Plus then you know exactly what you're getting, it makes for a potentially fun product, and I'd say it's more likely to be easily upgradeable later.

You can get a better computer for less money when you build one.

Well, buying a computer is the stupidest idea you could possibly have. Because in pre built systems that use cheap parts that wont last, i,e PSU's they use non makes, and very cheap cases.

Building a computer, so easy you would be stupid not to do it. At least you know everything that is inside you PC.

Plus you save yourself a hell of a lot of money building one!

When you build a computer you are getting exactly what you want.

Sure, but your point is invalid because you can do that with [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . You're overpaying for any prebuilt computer, that's a guarantee.

Well, I guess some people were misunderstanding me, I was not supporting iBuyPower or any website of that sort. I was simply saying that customization is not the only reason for building a computer. So before you call me an idiot, reread the post.

If you want a gaming capable pre built pc you will have to pay alot,Because with them they may have the best processor but they lack gpu power unless you go into the thousands.
