The low prices of today's computer have made buying a name brand PC a very attractive option. But there are many advantages to building a custom computer, and we will list them below:
- Lower Cost
It might be tough to build a budget machine for hundreds less than the cheapest name brand Dell for example, but when you get into more expensive hardware options and features, you can easily build your own machine for much less than a name brand.
- Flexibility to Customize
As the machine is built, you can mix and match compatible parts to meet a certain budget, or add to the part of the machine where you need more power. So if you are a gamer, for example, you can focus on buying a better video card. If you are a photographer, and are opening and working with very large digital files, you can spend more on memory. If something changes down the road you can add to or make changes to your system much easier than a store bought machine.
- Easier to Upgrade
When having a custom PC, you will have the benefit of a very flexible architecture where all of the parts are independent of each other. Most name brand computers have a proprietary motherboard that fits with the case, and also limited CPU and memory upgrade abilities.
- In Store Warranty

We stock almost all items on hand to replace most of the basics, at the very most, you are only out a day or two, instead of having to pay to ship your PC out, and be out a computer while you wait weeks for it to be repaired.
