Build. Cheaper, better, more customizable and you actually know what's inside.

| Build, Cheaper which means more money for better things. Better, Manufactured computers have their own softwares on the computer which takes up your memory. And Building it is fun and a great experience. Im building my first computer this week, but I already know a lot about hardware and stuff so it's going to be simple.

Build = More options, Less cost, Gain Experience, and you'll feel really good about building a computer all by yourself.
Buy = less work, less chance of messing up, and feel good about getting a new computer.
I pick build.

I think build is a better pc, then buying.
But the prices of parts are so high these days it is getting cheaper to buy one built already.

Prices of parts are not high at all, a 500 Dollar Computer thats already Built would cost around 300 dollars if you build it yourself including the OS. So that's like 200 dollars for labor? You can do it yourself in 2 hours or less.

Build.
---------------------------------
Building is even good for people who don't know much about computers. If something goes wrong with their computer, they can easily refer back to the box of the items they purchased for troubleshooting information, the name of the item, and the manufacturers website/ FAQ. Technically, I'm saying that you know everything that is inside the machine. Building also saves you the trip to the local computer fixing shop once that game card gets fucked up for who knows why. (Maybe...Unless it's really fucked up.) If you buy that new dell gaming computer, once it breaks down, no one wants to call india.  Building is cheaper. Do it. Don't be a lazy Fag.
