We don't recommend prebuilts...this is better and will last longer.

/e Computers are easy to build. Philips head screw driver is pretty much all you need. Like adult Legos.

Many on here can and will help you build if needed.

It's pretty simple.

Put motherboard in.
Put power supply in.
Put CPU in and it's cooler.
Put in RAM and vid card
Put in SSD and storage drive.
Then just hook up the wires.

The motherboard manual has the details.


Prebuilts may seem to have the same parts, but they come with very cheap versions of things like power supplies, motherboard, RAM vid cards, and drives.



/e The first time you build one, it takes like an hour, maybe hour and a half. After that, it takes like 15-20 minutes.. :)




/e In that one I built above...here's the link to the motherboard manual. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-Z370-A/HelpDesk_Manual/

Chapter one tells you where everything is, on the motherboard. Chapter two tells you how to put it together. Chapter 3 is all about the BIOS which you don't really have to mess with, unless you want to.

And Chapter 4 is pretty useless these days.

idk those builds look like their put together pretty nice and descent quality.

the red one is lacking sli support for future upgrades and processor is probably worse also the ssd storage is smaller but thats about it.

/e most people (i included) have come to the conclusion 1 gfx card is better than 2 if power is similar so yeah..

Yeah, the ASUS vid card is fine.

Yeah, it's worth it.

If you look closely you'll see that in the specs for the prebuilt comps, they DON'T tell you...

Who makes the RAM, the power supply, the vid card, the motherboard, the case, the CPU cooler.
They will use w/e the cheapest parts they can find, are.

The one I made, has known good, long lasting parts, from good companies.
