Hello,
I have considered building a system due to numerous sites stating it is a much better deal. I have never built a computer before however, and really would rather pruchase something with a warranty. While pricing parts on newegg also, I didn't find a huge discrepency in prices.
What I would like is honest opinions on the value of this system, barring the you could save a couple hundred bucks building it yourself. If it was 500 bucks, I would consider it! ($200 for the time to build and potential for things going wrong building it myself isn't worth it.)
