[Solved] Preassembled(OEM) or assembling pc yourself is better??

Always wondered about this....pls clarify my query//

Obviously you own a computer at the moment and have opened the case occasionally. Well, that's all I'd done when I built my first about 20 years ago.

Though the tech is more complex there's much more info available so it balances out about the same.

Cost wise, it's usually been more expensive to build your own due to buying parts retail where assemblers buy them wholesale -- and of course you'll specify better stuff than they do.

take a look at a build sheet for a Dell or HP
and match the parts piece by piece and
on a budget system the OEMs win
They buy 100000s of PSUs,GPUs etc at a time
Now if your building a higher end system then
you can do better than an OEM
If you compare a fully loaded Dell XPS (high end OEM gaming system)
for the same money you could put together a better system
BUT no way on a low end budget system can you match an OEM
generally
