DEFI build yourself. Lol @ more expensive.This way you WILL (within reason) spend less. and when ur looking to upgrade.. you already know what you've got and know what's compatible with what.Also, that feeling when u close up the case and power up for the 1st time after installing new parts >>>

Will cost more to build your own.
Less*alot cheaper 2 buy the parts urself, not that hard 2 put all together aswell if u read some tut's off the internet. Can save quite abit building it urself.
not necessarily, independent companies usually will do it cheaper cos they'll buy parts wholsale/bulk prices.Was lookin at all the parts for my pc to buy seperately and build myself but found some companies offerin the same spec couple hundred cheaper+will give u a warranty, even tho buyin parts urself will too, it may be hard to diagnose. however if u get it prebuilt they'll do that for u.

good advicebuying a replacement part, fitting it, then finding out its not the cause of the fault...thats money and time wasted.
