Is PC customization the way to go? That’s a question we all want answered but first, let’s go ahead and assess and compare the pros and cons of pre-built PCs and DIY PC.
DIY PC
DIY PCs allows you to customize all your specifications to your liking, granted that you understand the technicality behind it. DIY PC also saves you the service costs that would be incurred when purchasing pre-built and it can be cheaper if you’re able to haggle.
However, sourcing parts is getting harder these days as the demand for PC keeps increasing. The parts sourced may not even include warranties, which would cost you to replace in the future. For those who are unfamiliar with the technical jargons and have limited PC knowledge, DIY PCs can be daunting and complicated. Especially when the the PC does not work. Determining the issue can be twice as hard.
Pre-built PC
Pre-built PCs are convenient, you can simply head down to the store and bring it back immediately after purchase. Best of all you don’t have to worry about its compatibility, it is guaranteed to work after being tested by its manufacturers. Even if it malfunctions, a Pre-built PC comes with a manufacturer’s warranty to help you resolve your issue or even replace your broken parts at low or even no costs. At times, Pre-built PC can be cheaper compared to DIY. All the components you require are now sold as a bundle, even those that are in high demand e.g., Graphic Cards which prices are rising in the market. If you think about it, you’ll actually be saving money in both the long and short run by purchasing a pre-built PC.
There’s a downside to Pre-built PC, its specifications are fixed. You don’t have the same flexibility as DIY to mix and match your component. You’d have to compromise on its specifications and you may not achieve your desired results.
Customised PC
What if you can have the best of both worlds? The flexibility of DIY and the benefits of Pre-built PC. Customized PC allows you to either select your parts from scratch or modify an existing Pre-built PC to your preference. You don’t have to worry about its compatibility since the manufacturer will be there to guide you with their technical knowledge. Neither do you have to worry about future malfunctions since warranty is included too. You can get your Customized PC within a few day or even the day of purchase itself!
To answer the question: Yes! Customized PC is the way to go! It’s convenient and tailored to you needs, a perfect combination when getting a PC.
