Warranty if you build it yourself: -Hdd 3 years -RAM Lifetime -Case 1 year -DVD 1 year -PSU 3 years -CPU 3 years -Mobo 3 years -GPU 2 years Price: $720 vs $766 after shipping. However the graphics card alone is worth $120 more (50 vs 170) He said he was planning on buying the prebuilt and then upgrading the graphics himself, which would be 720 + 170 = 890. So if he built it himself he would save $124 like I said. And he would have much better quality PSU, RAM + mobo. If I lived near him I would quite happily put it together for him for 50 bucks, and I'm sure he can find someone to do it for that if he doesn't want the hassle of building it. However it a great experience to build your own and I would definitely recommend it. | ||
