Should I go for a pre-built PC?

You might always have confusion to buy a pre-built PC or make yourself a computer by buying parts. Therefore, we have a very good solution for it. If you are having access to parts cheaper than the prebuilt PC, you should totally make yourself one. Furthermore, I always like to choose my own parts and make a custom PC.

More importantly, if you find that the pre-built PC is only slightly more expensive, you should go for it. This is because you can skip the hassle of building, and setting anything up. You can ask the people who built the PC to even overclock it to your needs. Lastly, you even get a complete warranty over the computer. This means that you can get a full replacement if any part is compromised.
