Self Build Or Pre-Built?

An annoying thing with pre-builts is they usually come with windows, so I consider that bloatware.

most of the people in my school didnt actuly know that u can build a computer intill i mentioned it lool

It depends on the price bracket, to be honest.

There are lower pricepoints when you simply can't build one cheaper than a manufacturer, but as you move up in terms of performance, they start charging more for what you can get cheaper yourself, etc.

If I was going to need like a £150 rig, I'd buy pre-built, although I did make a fairly good friend's rig with £150... E4300, Gigabyte G31 board, 4GB of RAM, Hiper 425W PSU, WD 250GB AAKs, Sony optical drive, CoolerMaster elite 330 case... but I got everything used.

And risk the garbage that they use to build them?

The price point is valid, but quality doesn't cost, it pays. :good:

Btw, where do you find systems for £150?

in a shop near my house u can buy computers for around 80 pounds which are with Windows XP, 512 RAM 50gb hardrive etc.

I would never buy a pre-built computer.

Putting it together is half the fun...
