so im planning to get a gaming pc some time soon, but im not sure if i should buy one or build one myself. I was wondering if you guys could help me out by telling me if its better to get a 500$ gaming pc, or to build a custom 500$ gaming pc?
Thanks for helping me out and choosing the better choice

First rule of PC gaming: NEVER buy a ready-built PC.

Do you want the best out of your money?

Any sane person would say yes. That's what building your own PC does; you get more form your money with better hardware which will last longer than a pre-built PC.

Let us know the following:


What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?
