I understand what you are saying but that is not exactly true. I know plenty of people who have pre-builts and have no issues at all playing games. I would love to build my own but right now is not the time for me. But i completely get what you're saying. It's not hard to build it yourself but i've never done it and i know there's tons of videos on it especially on newegg and i could get better parts for the same price. But it's not that big of a deal.


It's entirely true. Pre-builts use horrible quality components 95% of the time. The other 5%, they're extremely over-priced. Even more so than usual. Considering building a PC can take less than an hour, then yeah, you definitely have the time.

"This is better than my friends pc and he runs every game medium settings no lag just fine. Just wondering what everyone thought about it."
Does he enjoy solitaire and minesweeper then?
Everyone else who knows what they're talking about thinks that it's poo, because well, it is.

"I already know people are gonna say just build your own but no, i'm not doing that so please don't comment telling me to do so."
Then don't post in the "PC building" section. You wanted opinions, we're giving them.

"i'm on a limit for my computer because the rest is going towards my college payments"
Even more reason to build your own. Building something within the same budget as that pre-built PoS would be far superior. In fact, $450 will get you a decent gaming build for medium-high settings at 1080p res.

"very cheap"
Yupp, notice how it doesn't mention the PSU. Know why? Because it will most likely blow up after a couple of hours. Either that or it has mice running around inside to power it.

"Yupp, notice how it doesn't mention the PSU. Know why? Because it will most likely blow up after a couple of hours. Either that or it has mice running around inside to power it." Possibly the best statement I have ever heard. 100% accurate that's the sad part...

You could get your PC pre-built from a custom PC shop. But still building it yourself is and always will be the best way to save some cash, and also get the best out of your budget.

Just a simple observation of that prebuilt makes anyone feel sick. What's the point in gaming on a PC when you can't get the max potential with your budget, just saying.
