Should you Build your own Gaming PC or Buy a Pre Built? #pc #pcbuild #pcgaming #gamingpc

If you have money and just want to play games and not spend any time doing anything else go for prebuilt but just doing some research and you won’t have that issue of incompatibility

I will do 100 push ups if @mmillerspcs reply’s to my comment

In my experience it’s really just depending on what exactly you want out of it. I wanted to build my first one but gpu prices were insane at the time so I bought one that I pick parts and they build from NZXT. After tax and shipping it was ab 1300 but I don’t play games that are too demanding. I’d personally recommend doing a cheaper one like this that will run what you want but also upgrade some parts. My motherboard is compatible w so much all I’ve had to replace is gpu from a 1660 super to a 2070 and add some storage and I’ve had 0 problems. I did have friends who knew their stuff along w like pc part picker or just googling what can and can’t go w what. Still wanna upgrade my cpu but nothing I play is demanding enough to strain my pc into making me do it asap

You should watch videos of people making pc and then pick your parts on pc part picker

Option 3! I usually go pre-built and upgrade as needed (every 2-5 years) to extend my budget. My current PC though, I bought a used pre-built for cheap $300 when a friend was getting a new PC. Three years later (recently, actually) I upgraded the CPU/GPU (Ryzen 5 2600 > Ryzen 5 5600X)/(RX 570 > RTX 3060) and it is perfect for my needs. Pre-built and custom build are two options, but don't forget you have other choices too.

Best advice I learnt when I started was finding a friend who knows computers and they teach you to build it 👍😄 It was alot of fun and now I know what to do myself 👍

If you're on a tight budget and don't know anything about PC hardware it can be a challenge to figure out what is your best option. Theres plenty of deals on second hand PCs on ebay and facebook market place. But not every system is a good deal, some are straight up scams. Some research can help you and having a friend who is into gaming computers can help alot.

A PC built your self is around 1200 so it makes sense when big name brands don't have any thing cheaper

I would personally just go to a place like microcenter, for example, and consult with a professional to help find and build pc parts

anyone else notice thats not a am4 motherboard?

Ztt

Best website to know if you specs are compatible is pc part picker

Bro i built my first pc it was hella ez

Can yall tag me with answers I have a 5k budget I want the best of the best like the best.

I love gaming but only warzone so it would be for that
It would have to be able to support windows I love windows
It would have to be able to, upload edit YT videos, autocad apps, render my drawing into 3D with the apps I use, school work and work. All of this being opened without it crashing going slow or over heating.

I basically want something that suits all my needs and not have to worry about it going slow or over heating freezing because I have a huge file open and I’m editing it.

I’m an engineer so I do a lot of work on a computer I currently use mircrsoft tablets but I see how quick it heats up and starts to lag when I’m editing huge pdf files.

I was thinking about getting that new studio surface 2 from Microsoft but idk if it really handles everything and gaming.

Help ?

Coach Miller could you guess which student i am??? (Hint: 5th period)

If you love gaming PCs why buy a pre-built? If you build your own you get to learn what the parts do and where stuff plugs in, I love gaming PCs and I always wanted to know how they work and building them your self is the best way to do that, not only do you educate your self BUT it's also cheaper than buying one pre-built!

Stop asking these questions as a form of engagement bait it’s a dead horse of a question only meant for people new to pc

Microcenter helped me.

They helped me pick out the parts, pros and cons, what i wanted, if they were compatible, and they built it together for me on the site.

I didnt mind paying the premium for then putting it together since they were so useful in helping me what match and saving money with their combo deals

If you go with pre build
Prioritize the best CPU rather than the most expensive GPU

Most cpu now a days is powerful enough to play without a GPU

You can always save up and sell your old GPU
Other than change everything just to catch up

ok here’s a guide for less than 300 dollars a lot of offices and library’s sell pcs for like 99 dollars and than with that you can get a 1660 and a decent ssd so like yeah

Sky tech gaming has a lot of prebuilts and the 2 I’m looking at are 1,059 and 1,200 so not that much for a gaming pc

Chat GPT computer friends friend

What if you go to a big pc store then you pick parts you know then ask the in charge for advice if this is compatible or what not then let them build it for you, of course you have to pay them for building it for you🤔
