Building your own PC has always been intimidating. However, with the rate at how the internet and technology are taking over the mainstream, it’s easy to build your own now, even without the need of professionals.

In fact, chances are that you’ll become your own tech support after going through the process– like most first time builders who decided to build their own PCs– as you’ll learn a lot of things about computer by the end of the building process. On top of that, you’ll also get a ton of benefits in doing so, which we’ll cover briefly in the following paragraphs.

Compared to buying a prebuilt one, you get to choose better components for all the parts. This simply means you can enjoy high-quality components and a better warranty. So, when you get a defective part, you can just ship it out and wait for the replacement instead of having to ship the entire unit.

Building your own PC also gives you the benefit of getting more performance for cheaper. More specifically, you get double the performance for the same price as a prebuilt computer. Because of that, you save somewhere between $50 to $100, depending on the brand and the current market price. With this amount, you can instead choose one of the best 27” gaming monitors on top of getting more performance.

Let’s take for example a $650 prebuilt gaming computer, which has a Ryzen 2400G CPU, RX Vega 11 GPU, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and only 512GB NVMe SSD storage inside a small PC case. If you choose to build your own, you’ll instead get an Intel i3-8100 CPU, an RX 580 GPU, 1TB of HDD storage, a quality 80+ bronze 450 Watt power supply, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and an aesthetically good Thermaltake Versa H18 case.

Summing it all up, even though there are slight differences in some departments, you still get far better performance and better parts. More specifically, you get a quality power supply if you choose to build it yourself compared to getting an unbranded, generic power supply on a prebuilt computer.

Now, if you’re on the edge of building your own computer but still unsure, now’s your time to make it a reality. With resources you can easily access these days, it shouldn’t be hard. And a good resource you can always count on is this PCGuide’s How to Build a PC Infographic, to ensure you’re guided accordingly.
