My experience suggests otherwise. System Integrators use the same parts I like but often get them for a discount.
I build my own systems because I like the constant incremental upgrade model. But when I recently had to help someone purchase a system I found it was hard to beat si prices with equally spaced hardware.
- zargon 8y agoCould you name some of these companies with prices competitive with building yourself? I'm in the market for a new PC when Zen 2 comes out. I would prefer to buy the computer instead of assemble it myself, but I've never found the prices to be competitive.
- lightedman 8y agoGo look at portatech.
- sixothree 8y agoI worked with a friend who purchased from iBuyPower (shudder). But the experience turned out fairly well. But Corsair, Falcon NW, and CyberPower are others.
- smittywerben 8y agoI recently dismantled 3 generations of pre-built PC's to remove the hard drives. One computer needed a 90-degree angled Phillips head to release the removable tray... ended up using a hammer to smack it out... I built my current computer and don't need a screwdriver to open the case, or to replace the SSD, HDDs, GPU, or RAM. They all just pop out now! First computer I've upgraded too.
