Pre built computer are okay but, you will always get more for your money if you buy the parts yourself and build it yourself. But on that note only build it yourself if you know what you're doing or it could waste a lot of money.
Ok ya, The reason im tripping about building my own pc is because I no a decent amount about pc's and only a little abount building them :p

It's worth the warranty on a prebuilt if you don't have the money to pay for individual parts that may fail. Are you old enough to get a job?

Im 15, I do work around places not really a 'job' but it makes me money, how much does the pre-build cost?

Get a custom pc, they are much cheaper then any Razer and Alienware PC's.
Get something like this:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lY3p
Its a decent pc build, could get you 60+ fps with shaders while recording.
Don't get this build.

  • There's no use in getting a motherboard that can OC & CPU cooler if the processor can't overclock. You know if it can overclock because it'll have 'K' after it.
  • PSU is waaaaay too overkill, you could certainly cut back there.
  • 5400RPM is slow for a HDD, go for 7200.
  • YOU REALLY DON'T NEED AN EXPENSIVE DVD DRIVE, GET A DIRT CHEAP ONE.
