If I buy a computer on iBUYPOWER, is it pre-built?
They send it to you pre-built. iBuyPower and CyberPowerPC are some of the more decent pre-built PC companies since they charge a less than larger companies like Dell, Alienware, HP, etc. If you absolutely want a pre-built, then iBuyPower would be a good choice but as I always suggest, building your own is still the best way to go.
Should I build a gaming computer? or Buy one pre Built?
I always hear that building a gaming computer is cheaper and better, however I dont know a thing about how to build one and how to get all the parts to be compatible and I dont even know where I would began to start searching to find all the parts for the best price to me it just seems like building one would be easier. I'll just give you a little background on what I plan to play, I want to have a computer that can run BF3 on High settings and get around 60+ FPS, also be able to play minecraft on Far with 60+ FPS, Can someone assist me in what I should do, I have $1000 to spend towards this computer, If you are able to help me it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me some of the main components to have on the computer so I at least know where to start. I have set aside $300 dollars for a monitor and already have a keyboard and mouse so I will not need to use the $1000 towards that. If Making a computer within my wanted specifications isn't possible please let me know.
Is building a computer cheaper than buying a pre-built one?
Building a gaming computer can be cheaper if you find the right parts at the right price. One the other hand, you could probably find a decent gaming computer at one of the sites you listed or other places as well. My advice is to talk to this uncle. He is your family and would not lead you astray as some of the posters here. He may even hav a source or two for parts to build the computer. Good luck. EDIT: I disagree with Mark below. Most of the items he list are low to mid level with the exception of the video card. Also, the memory he links to is not on the ASUS vendor list and requires 1.8v (most of ASUS boards need memory rated for 1.95v) so this may present a problem or it may not. The board he recommends may very well support the RAM despite it not being on the qualified vendor list. I could link you to a complete system as well, but he did a decent job overall so I will abstain.
What’s best, buying a pre built computer or build your own?
For a person, who is new to computer, I’d recommend a pre-built computer, known as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). This has lot of advantages for learning, as the software comes pre-installed with tutorials.Moreover, it will of real world learning experience when the computer faces a hardware issue and a technician fixes it by visiting your place. You can get to know about the hardware parts, while conversing with such technicians. The support is provided by the manufacturer, so it is reliable and no space for cheating. The disadvantage is that a computer as a whole, carries a specific period of warranty. The advantage is that some manufacturers are providing free replacement for accidental damages like water damage, something you can’t expect in custom built computers.When you have ample knowledge of the hardware and software, you can then go for building a computer on your own.When you go for building the computer on your own, being a new to computer, the chances are, you can be cheated. For example, there are different parts of the computers like processor, RAM, hard disk, etc., each carry different periods of warranty. You may be surprised that RAM has lifetime warranty, while processor has 2–3 years of warranty. Chances are, the technician may inform you that an issue in RAM requires replacement, by purchasing a new one.So before going for building your own, begin with the prebuilt computers.
Which would be better, making a computer desktop or buying a prebuilt one from the store?
This question is a lot easier to answer these days than it has been historically… For 95% of cases or more these days, just buy a pre-built PC. This comes from someone who has built dozens of custom PCs, including professionally.I don’t mean just go pick up a PC at Walmart. I mean identify what you want… What you would build if you were going to build it. Then shop around and look for it… Check Costco, maybe Fry’s or other electronics superstore. Check Newegg, Amazon, CDW, etc. The odds of finding something very close to what you want at maybe 1/3 to 1/2 less than an equivalent build are very good.Just buy something with a fairly standard case so you can swap out parts as needed. People will tell you not to buy off the shelf because the power supply is going to be junk for example. That’s often not true. But hypothetically let’s say it is true. Would you rather spend $1500 to build a custom PC with effectively no warranty, or would you prefer to pay less than $1000 for something similar with at least a basic warranty (or ability to return within 30 days)?Oh… About that power supply… you could install a really good one for $60 into your pre-built machine and still be way ahead.It’s the same on the low end. You can’t really build a PC from new parts for less than about $400. But you can find a basic no frills PC for $250 to $300.Good luck.
What is the best place/website to buy a prebuilt gaming PC in your experience?
Question: What is the best place/website to buy a prebuilt gaming PC in your experience?This is one of my least favorite questions to answer. I always build my own machine from a box of parts, because I can get exactly what I want, not almost what I want. I am a tech so I can support myself when I have problems and a custom machine works perfect for me.For anyone else though, my answer to this is Dell, only because I have dealt with them for years. You can get pre-configured or custom built systems. You can also get 3–5 year warranties on the machine from their site. The downside to buying from Dell is that they are probably more expensive than other sites you can get custom gaming computers. You could look at places like Acer or ASUS as well, I haven’t dealt with their systems as much but from what I have seen/read about them online they seem to be decent systems. Even Amazon sells gaming systems, some come directly from vendors such as Dell and ASUS.Whatever you decide to get, consider an SSD drive. They are a bit more expensive, but they are worth it.
