    I have my custom built gaming rig.

    Custom Build is always better than Branded PC.

    yeah..what i can conclude that custom rig is always better than branded product. at least for your own satisfaction. it saves you a little bit money to be spend on the other thing but i always end up to invest for the whole new rig. :)

    its easier to actually custom your pc when you know what purposes of this computer will be. it for instance its for online game, then you'll need to buy good video card/graphic card and lots of ram.

    You can save a lot of money if you know how to build your own PC, you can even purchase the cheapest parts but of course with warranty if you know where to buy :D

    You always get SO much more for your money when you build it yourself... and best of all - no crazy bloatware.

    I built my first pc back when the 233MMX was the fastest gaming chip there was lol that didnt last long but find these days I can get along fine with one off the shelf as most everythings has lots of speed/memory these days and I am no longer a gamer.
