Building a computer?

Building your own computer is always cheaper, the sellers of pre-built computers charge extra to gain a profit from buying the parts and putting them together. It's not hard to put together a computer, most things are self-explanatory. I recommend Newegg for parts, they're very cheap and reliable. If you decide on building your own computer, post the parts you are going to get to make sure they all fit together, and your system doesn't bottleneck on a single component. (i.e. a 3.5ghz hexacore on a 200w PSU will severely lower the computing power.) If you give me a set budget, I'd be happy select parts for you :).

You used i.e. incorrectly, i.e. you used it as an example, when it is to clarify the statement.


Building your own is 9/10 times cheaper than buying a prebuilt OEM.
I've built quite a few, and I'll actually be building another on Wednesday.
