is there a huge difference in price between prebuilt gaming pc's and self made

i looked at ibuypower/cyberpc etc

and the stuff they put in the pc's are actually good


i am going to buy a new desktop in march worth around 1500-2000$ so i am wondering


i will be streaming/gaming/editing on high def 1080p so i need a good pc


thank you for the help you guys/girls can provide on this

You will pay $1500 for a pc that will shit on itself within 3 years because of sub-par parts and terrible PSUs.

Shoot me a link to what you're thinking of getting, or post it here and we'll come up with a system that's infinitely better.

You don't need to spend that kind of $$ to game at 1080p either

Here is a stupid overpowered rig @2k that blows whatever trashpower has at that price point out of the water

The components in ibuypower and cyberpc are crap actually. They're also overpriced quite a bit.
Building your own is cheaper.

Premades typically put decent CPU and GPU but cheap out on everything else. The power supply in a prebuilt is guaranteed to be shit. Typically for what you pay $1500 for a prebuilt, you can build yourself for about $1200-1300 and have better quality parts.

lol'd

i fixed a few things made it cheaper with a few better items http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sMxZhM

I made that mistake before; the problem is they don't send you the stuff that usually comes with the items. Like, whatever power supply you get, they don't send you the extra cables that come with it. Neither the graphics card or mobo came with an sli bridge. 100% not worth it, overpriced, and I'm glad I researched and bought my own components the second time around. Me, the cable management was complete dog shit. Made a huge mistake. Then I found this sub forum and learned a ton.

LOL
What kind of drugs are you on?...

alright
