Well, I have no clue how to build a PC and not much interest in learning. Reality is I have so much going on with work and kids and finding time to fly is a bit tough. Having to spend that time learning about and then building a PC... means it would be quite some time before having any actual fun.
I could be wrong, as I said I have never attempted to build a PC but it seems pretty dang complicated to me and I honestly just dont have the time to spend a months worth of evenings learning all about it.
So I want to purchase a system "off the shelf" or built to specs.
If what I need can be had for less than $2500.... then that is GREAT. Money is tight, that figure is the painful outside ragged edge of the affordability envelope.
Hi Fangio,
Do not be afraid to build your own pc.After 15 years of paying over the top prices,i decided to build my own rig 2 weeks ago.Took about 2 days to
complete due to cable tidying/testing etc.
Was very easy and i shopped around on ebay for all the components
which came from Spain,USA,Ireland,UK.
TOTAL COST WAS ABOUT $2800,IF I WAS TO PAY DELL/ALIENWARE OR
OTHER CUSTOM PC BUILDERS IT WOULD HAVE COST A MINIMUM OF $5000.
Plenty of pc building guides on youtube if stuck.
My biggest expense was $500 for the new Silverstone TJ11 case(the best case ive used in over 15 years of pc gaming.
Will post pics of build if anyone interested.
