IMO the best way to do a new computer is to build it yourself. Youll get FAR more bang for your buck. Ive found over the years that if you buy a pre-built unit you DONT get what you pay for.

Dont be mislead by the Warantee sales routine. Any parts you buy will have a minumum Warantee. Most motherboards will be covered for 3 years. Same with graphics cards. Look into the price of the parts and total them up and them look at the price of a unit that has the same or comparable parts and youll see that builing it yourself will save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

I built two full computers (monitors and everything) for the price of one pre-built unit. Build yourself a new computer and all money youll have left over can be blown on hats
