So you decided that you need a new computer
I can build you a custom built computer to suit your needs. Majority of the people only use their computers for basic tasks such as e-mail, surfing the internet, music, and storing pictures. So, why spend more than you need for a computer that may be overkill for what you need. I will talk with you and ask several questions to get a better idea of what you use your computer for and build a computer specifically for your needs. I listed some advantages and disadvantages to building a custom built computer below.
Advantages of Building The most distinguishing advantage to building a computer from scratch is the selection of parts. Most computer systems come pre-built with the specifications and components already selected for you. This often can lead the user to have to sacrifice certain features that they may not want to give up. By building a computer from components, the user is able to choose the parts that best match the computer system they desire. Some vendors do allow you to customize a computer system, but you are still limited to their selection of parts.
Another thing that users may not be aware of with pre-built systems is that two of the exact same model computer can actually have very different parts. The reason for this has to do with suppliers, parts available at the time the system was built and just pure luck. For example, Dell might switch between multiple suppliers of memory because one is less expensive then the other. Buying all the parts on your own guarantees what parts you will get in your PC.
Lastly, and my biggest issue with store bought computers, are all the applications that are pre-installed on a PC by the vendor. Many PC manufacturers are paid by software vendors to pre-install lite versions of their products on the PCs they sell. In addition, some of these applications load at startup, wasting memory and providing a potential for conflict with other applications. This is known in the I.T. field as "Bloatware".
Disadvantages of Building A disadvantage with building a computer system is cost. In most cases, the cost of building a computer will be slightly more expensive than purchasing a pre-built computer. This is due to the fact that the manufacturers can buy in bulk for steep discounts that translate into savings on the computer system. They also include software with the systems that must be purchased separately when building a system. OEM (original equipment manufacturer) software purchased with hardware does help reduce the costs on custom built systems.
The cost disadvantage does not always hold true though. As the more money one is willing to spend on a computer system, the more likely you will be able to save money by having your computer custom built. This has to do with the top of the line specialized systems are often marked up for extra profits per unit by the manufacturers. So, if you are looking to spend big, custom built may be the way to go.
