If you are an avid Gamer or just a plain hardware enthusiast then there is nothing like building your own PC! Honestly there are so many reasons why you should build your own PC:
Building your own PC is cheaper: You can purchase much more bang for your buck building your own PC. You can build a much more powerful gaming rig at a much smaller price tag!
Personalize and Customize: Building your own PC makes it your PC! Gamers more than anyone know the appeal of being able to customize and by building your own PC you get to choose eveyrthing you put in in exactly the way you want it. Anything from the type of proceccor to your snazzy computer case you can make the PC of your dreams – or damn close to it!
The satisfaction: Nothing makes you appreciate the machine you game on, watch movies on, listen to music on, and do pretty much whatever else you do on than building it yourself! Building your own PC will enable you to learn more about the hardware you use giving you a greater understanding of each individual part.
This does in turn give you so much more satisfaction than going to your nearest hardware retailer and buying a pre-built PC (Trust me :P)
It is FUN: Building your own gaming PC will take a little research for all the specific hardware you need, and to do this you will have to (visit blogs like Newb Computer Build 🙂 ) visit hardware forums, read hardware reviews by experts and consumers, and asking others in hardware forums. It may seem like a lot of work but you will have fun connecting with new people, learning new information (so you can get your Geek on!).
