Customize a computer or buy a computer pre-made?
My budget is about $ 800. I would like to use this computer for games Occasional to frequent Web surfing, heavy, watching videos (like YouTube), music, instant messaging, among other things different. I a) buy a computer pre-made to suit my needs or b) try to customize or personalize my own computer at a site like http://www.ibuypower.com/ or http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ keep in mind that I also need features such as a monitor and speakers (assuming the monitor has built-in speakers). Already I have a mouse and keyboard, so I really do not see a reason to buy these. Any advice, suggestions, recommendations, etc. .. are appreciated. the people will suggest that I build my own computer: I can not. is A or B.
Benefits of a pre-built (not custom): 1) You need not know anything about computers 2) Generally, you can have it faster. 3) Guarantee customer and cons of a custom non-default: 1) You probably do not know anything about computers and can end up with garbage. 2) Most of the equipment stock is not upgradable, unless you are getting a machine in final 3) His actions, so the performance if something will probably be close to average at best professionals in a custom pre-built (brand, such as HP and Dell, both allow you to customize): 1) its customized to your preferences so you can pick up some things that are important for you and get rid of some of the garbage that is not 2) It is a good bang for the buck unless you want to build a power plant technology. People will say you can build up cheaper, but you can not, or if you add every single extra on your PC that prebuilts do, because they get volume discounts heavy. Most only the internal value hardware when saying that they can build it cheaper. 3) has a warranty Cons 4) is best suited for your needs. of a custom pre-built: 1) to its sometimes takes a few days to build it 2) the selection, you have limited choices in parts, but this can be solved by making the part free then buy what I want you and add it (as a GTX 295) 3) Quality of the parts. Quality of play will generally priced, but that does not mean your going to get good parts only trust that is more likely. Depends on who they use. 4) stock PSU and fans (if there is something fans) is just what is needed for the PC to run well in its current configuration to make upgrades later a little more expensive, depending on what you upgrade the performance Hi PC manufacturers (Alienware, iBUYPOWER, etc) pros: 1) someone built it, the pieces are usually mid-high quality 2) Warranty 3) cool looking case Cons Hi performance: 1) As soon as the name of marks, hi performance custom PCs have a limited selection of customization and use parts from suppliers that do business with. 2) overpriced times a little, sometimes they rape your wallet in ways only a con artist could imagine. If alienwares I can usually get 1.5-2 HP creates custom (adding a couple of pieces from newegg i cannot get to HP as PSU) for the price of the same exact configuration on a alienware (least in fantasy). In my most recent comparison I did this morning the difference was $ 3400 ish on a HP and $ 5700ish for a alienware with identical settings. 3) If overpriced with limited selection of customization is not enough to sway you I think being happy being broken. Complete Custom Built Pros: 1) Fully custom 2) to pay for what you need not pay for things you do not. 3) You may use any quality of parts or brands you prefer 4) can start with a basic system, but now the project to be fully upgradeable. 5) do not have to hunt information and specifications on the PC when you want to upgrade once you have know 6) For heavy sets and a decent portfolio size, and some tech know (if not take long) your best bet. 7) You may well continually update parts of your basic system forever because PC hardware is not leap a generation at once. Thus, in 5 years they may have a new interface card, but still to support the PCIe old. so you get a new mobo and upgrade your processor uses the GPU because of old age still have the House PCIe slots on it, and the children, then 6 months later upgrade your GPU and so on … a custom PC can constantly evolve, if done right … In theory Cons: 1) technical know-how. This requires some technical knowledge about computer hardware. It is not difficult to learn, but some people have a technology difficult to understand time. If you learn how to use technology as easily as it comes out. There should be a big problem for you 2) assurance and customer support, you are the customer support and guarantees extending beyond the hardware and software that you install 3) a little more expensive than some pre-built for the piece. $ 800 in a pre-built goes further than a custom case (since you get a lot of gifts and software packages, such as an OS $ 185). But in the long run if you keep on upgrades (and not wait 5 years for 1 small update) you get better performance contained in a custom 4) may be more a headache than you want to build its own, especially if its your first time and you encounter problems. Edit to add: if you want to build custom I recommend newegg. Its just a place to buy part of the PC in my opinion.
