It's easier than ever to build a PC yourself. I built my first PC around 1988 and today's PCs are a dream in comparison.
One of the primary areas of advancement is PC cases - they are so well engineered now that just a few screws and everything is assembled in minutes. And everything lines up like it was made to go together.
On top of improved designs, there are YouTube videos today which didn't exist in the 80s and 90s.
IMO it's never been easier to get into so I can't see any reason not to build your own PC. It's very rewarding, though not necessarily an economic advantage verses pre-built.
The absolute best deal on a PC is probably a lightly used, name brand system from ebay. But you don't learn nearly as much with that option.
- loveparade 3y agoAre you saying that I don't need to smolder and put thermal paste manually like I did 20 years ago!? Time to build a PC.
- soulbadguy 3y ago> The absolute best deal on a PC is probably a lightly used, name brand system from ebay Hummm, i would caution against that, especially for beginners. PC manufacturer are notorious for producing awefull garbage, and it can be quite hard to someone new to discern the lemon from good deal.
