it used to be smart, but now its more expensive to build your own. you can get a good prebuilt for $2000 while a gpu alone will cost nearly that much.
>>
>>683505240
Buying pre-made cause you think you're getting a good deal or because you want that branding or you're a moron who doesn't know how to build their own is cringe.

Buying pre-built because you can't be fucking asked to deal with RMA or putting the system together yourself is fine. At that point you're paying for convenience
>>
some components these companies use are dogshit I had to buy a prebuilt in 2020 bc I was really sick and couldn't do it myself. It was bought from Skytech. 3700x and 2070S for 1000 right before the pandemic hit and prices jumped.

They used an ASRock B450M Pro4 as the mobo and it's not great. I can't use any 4 SATA ports because the GPU blocks them.

It's 2024.
You can get a prebuilt on sale for cheaper than buying all the parts individually.
It's not 2004 anymore where buying prebuilts tacked on a grand just because, even without sales prebuilts are only ever like 5-10% more expensive than just buying the parts and doing it yourself.

And speaking as someone that's built over a dozen computers over the last decade, fuck building you own, buy a prebuilt.

>and no, pre built is NEVER cheaper than doing it yourself
Buddy I bought a prebuilt with a i7-10700k, 32g ram, and a 4080 for 2100$ in 2022 because it was on sale at like 35% off.
You couldn't buy the same components alone for 2100$ in 2022, and that doesn't include the half a day it takes to built a PC and set it all up and troubleshoot any bullshit that's fucked, you ESL fuck.
>>
>>683506313
This is true, however there's another approach.
If you literally don't have a computer to start with, then yeah prebuilt is fine. However, the most efficient way is to Ship of Theseus one build. Upgrade specific components when they start to lag behind and you can get a good deal on the next step up.

If you just need a PC for basic web browsing and office work, a prebuilt is usually far more convenient than building it yourself. If it's a gaming PC then you're better off building your own. It's incredibly easy to research it and learn what to do, it's cheaper, you can ensure you're buying good components rather than whatever cast-offs the commercial builder is trying to get rid of, and there's no chance of the PC getting damaged in transit when it's disassembled. People will say that pre-builts are more convenient, but honestly that's debatable because if something breaks during shipping, it's much harder for the shop to diagnose the issue over the phone when they're talking to someone who is completely tech illiterate.

The only I would recommend a prebuilt is if you're buying for someone who is under 10 years old and you are tech illiterate yourself, or if a shop is having a massive sale on a PC and you could probably strip out some of the components and make a profit.

prebuilt PCs can be good you just gotta check what parts are in it first to make sure you aren't getting ripped off. Microcenter has never let me down.
>>
>>683505240
If you can find a decent deal, sure. Price it our yourself. But keep in mind that it's not just cpu and GPU, you have other components.

ill be 100% honest with you i had no idea there was an entire market of eceleb pc brands until you posted this, but i'm not surprised in the slightest.
you seem like someone that bought some random eceleb prebuilt and got burnt on it and is now on a mission to make sure everyone knows that prebuilts suck, which i guess is nobel or whatever.

lets be real, i know you probably were too young to be a PC gamer back in 2004, hell you probably weren't even born yet, but the stigma from buying prebuilt PCs originated from that era when 'prebuilt' was synonymous with Alienware or small PC stores around you that would build you a PC and charge you a 20% markup on the parts and a grand for the build itself.
but its not 2004 anymore.

>>683507339
The only way you can know if a pre-built is a good deal is if you do enough research to know whether the included components are worth the price and are able to do what you need your PC to do. And at that point, you'd be qualified enough to build your own PC.

Most accurate take here, wait for financial year clearances, Shops just slap whatever parts they have left and then mark down to move as many pre-builds as they can before tax time. 2022 was an incredibly good year for it as many shops were overstocked due to the Covid gaming boom, it was actually cheaper to grab a prebuild than to get the individual parts. The biggest downside is that you couldn't exactly pick what would be in the pre-built, but if you weren't tech illiterate you could very easily find the bottleneck and tweak one or two bits yourself.

You can research everything you need to know by sitting on your arse and watching a few videos. I'm incredibly lazy (I'm currently procrastinating from work by browsing this thread) and I still built my own PC with no issue.

>>683505584
At no point in time has it ever been smart. Even back then, you were either going to get gouged on parts, or sold chinkshit garbage at a premium.
>>
>>683505240
I got a prebuilt with a 1080Ti in 2017 for cheaper than that same store was selling 1080Tis. The answer is that you have to be a smart shopper and appraise the parts yourself.
>>
>>683507529
I mean you could just order your own parts and drop it off somewhere and pay the 100 or so for them to piece it together
>>
>>683505240
Really smart if you shop around and make sure you're not being overcharged for it.
Buying from "Big name PC store" is always going to be a ripoff in this regard, but there are plenty of places that will let you pick all the components and then put it together for you at a reasonable price.
"Big brand PC store" depends on the patronage of people who don't know better, to the point that they can't even choose components for themselves, just go into the shop and say "sell me something for gaming" or usually "for work" since if they don't know shit about PCs it's usually because it's a pure work thing for them.
>>
>>683506370
Shut up dummy. I got a i5-13kf with a 4060 pre built on sale for under 500 on clearance. So yeah, there's deals to be had if you search around and don't need it at this very second.

>>683505240
You should just learn to do it yourself. Same with repairing a car, or your plumping, electricity, etc.

>>
>>683505240
Mass produced prebuilts you see on a storefront are all scams. They piece them together with cheap/failed parts that nobody would buy individually. Tiny literal who motherboards, generic RAM, fans that definitely failed a quality check, undersized memory, a PSU that will probably catch fire. Just about the only part that will be advertised is the CPU and GPU inside, the rest are all merely described with one or two random specs because they're junk parts. Unless that piece of shit is on a steep sale to the point you're getting it for the MSRP of the CPU&GPU inside, you are getting ripped off.

The only "prebuilt" that is good is from a custom builder, ie not actually a prebuilt. They will charge you a premium for the service of picking and putting it together, but they do guarantee that each part you get is good and the build is functioning perfectly before giving it to you.
Otherwise, always pick and piece your own machine together.

>>
>>683505584
thats the opposite of my experience. building your own was always cheaper, until the fucking bitcoin and ai apocalypse happened. i bought a prebuilt computer for the first time in around 2022~. it was 900~ dollars and included a video card that was selling on newegg and amazon for 600.

the ai niggers don't want to buy a whole prebuilt and spend an extra couple of hundred bucks, so there have definitely been times in the past 3-5 years where prebuilts are just a straight discount over custom built, even if you swap out a few parts.

>>683505240
There was a point where people bought prebuilts purely to rip the GPUs out of them
What i'm saying is no, they're not smart and besides one or two things they'll cheap out on the rest.
Though i'm sure if you're willing to pay more you could probably get away with ripping out the PSU and replacing it with something better.

consumer goes to store with competent people and pays what they feel comfortable with. Getting gud deel realistically requires some level of mental faculties and info gathering. Consumer who cannot do that go to store where the price is what it is to make it worth dealing with a retard who cannot do themselves.

>>683526230
true. internet neets will hem and haw over a cost differential like that but for having another person spend their time to interact with your problem wont occur for realistically less than 100 dollars. Have any issue where in you need the services of a blue collar professional and they will want a 100 dollars to even look at it. A crackhead laborer may do it for 50 but congrats your problem was now interfaced with a by a crackhead.
>>
>>683505584
This is somewhat true, it's rare you actually save money building your own now, however there are still a number of downsides -- often, less "marketable" parts are of lower quality and/or generic pieces, and there can be frustrations when something goes wrong, where they won't warranty out the part, but need the whole PC sent in when there's an issue or it's not covered under warranty. It can leave you stranded without a machine for weeks, when manually building you can do an RMA on the one part and/or buy and replace the piece immediately if it's cheap enough. I'm not sure if any companies allow you to repair your own machine without voiding the warranty on it.

Also, as >>683506678 points out, once you've built your machine, replacing individual parts for marginal upgrades over time becomes a lot more feasible. Prebuilts are rarely put together in a way that makes it easy to pop in and out new parts.
>>

your "mental" is poor for letting someone else build your pc when you can save 20% for basically putting lego together
do you think the guys there have any more of an idea to do this then you? they also watch youtube vids
companies that sell prebuilts fucking glue their connectors together so they dont have to ship the PC back in case a pin comes loose in shipping, works in practice but once something fails gl to you replacing that crap
there is no reason ever to buy prebuilt, the only thing holding you back is low iq

Pre-builts are designed around selling to the tech illiterate. Theyll put the cpu/gpu at the front of all advertisement to hide exactly where they cut corners. It's why youll see them with a 40 series gpu at a 2k+ price tag but only have 8gb RAM and 250gb SSD

Yeah, a bad value. But at least recoverable without THAT much expense, either in an upgrade or failure. A retard tax.

But if PS, mobo or case aren't standard, you might as well start a new build rather than upgrade/replace.

had an xps from dell with proprietary parts and they quoted me 400$ to replace a single GPU fan, lmao
"proprietary" in this case isnt really proprietary, as dell and other big companies arent hardware manufacturers you can buy the stuff from aliexpress or whatever chinese sites if you know exactly what youre doing (which i dont since im not an electrical engineer, so ill never buy dell or anyhting with "proprietary" parts anymore)

>>683505240
It's not smart if you're trying to save money, because guess what? The OEM or integrator is also trying to save money so they can make you think you are saving money. Buying a pre-built is only smart if you need high-spec when you work for yourself or for a company and you're making money with the PC. The support and fast turnover is worth the money then.

Get a pre-build to start and then upgrade a single component at a time and sell the part you are upgrading. It's a lot more convenient then learning how to hookup a motherboard, CPU, ram, PSU, GPU, fans etc all at once.

nta, but people on this board swap out their graphics card and think everything is that easy.
Tearing down/setting up a motherboard and dealing with the tiny cables that power the case alone can take 20 minutes or more, not to mention if you actually install a big GPU plus a big AOI cooler (hope you double checked that everything in your case will fit together)
Not to mention organizing the PSU cables well enough to make sure dusting/buildup isn't abysmal .
Buying the right case is half the battle that build-it-yourself heads don't warn noobies about

>Is buying a prebuilt PC cringe or smart?
You should do your due diligence and research about components at least. Also you'll be paying for mounting + overpriced windows 11 license with a prebuilt so that's a lot of money that isn't going into them.
Personally got a custom PC built. Kinda regret it because it has the manufacturer + product name engraved in the BIOS. I've basically already almost fully rebuilt it by changing case and could have done it easily.

generally cringe. If you're going through a local computer shop and have the money to delegate something like that than whatever fine, but otherwise you're just letting yourself get fucked over on price for worse components. building a pc is not hard, you look up a few recommended builds in your price range, watch a few beginner's guide on youtube, and it's done in an afternoon.

it was to let you know that the worth of your time isnt what the company charges other companies, i dont even do economics and know that
you get paid to work for them, so the time spent on stuff to the company you work for is what the company pays you and in turn is your worth to the company
why are you even bringing this up? do you source gaming pcs for your company? it makes no sense at all
lets say you spend 5h researching and 5h purchasing and building it (im being generous here) we could put a price on it, lets say 25$/h would make it 250$
then you know your pc in and out, can even replace parts on your own if you wished
is this worth the 250$ to you? if something breaks in your prebuilt, you have to send it in, they have to look at it, find out whats wrong, source the parts, install them and ship the thing back, which prob takes 1-2months that youre without a pc when you could do shit on your own in a week replacing it yourself

>is this worth the 250$ to you? if something breaks in your prebuilt, you have to send it in,
I've sourced pcs for other depts including my own (I work in tech). We have real fucking support from our sellers for the performance PCs. Not consumer warranty shit and boomer-scams from bestbuy. Next-day priority shit where a tech drags their ass down to the PC not the other way around. That shit is 100% worth it and you will never get that kind of support building your own PC. And I am not just talking about the enterprise/server grade stuff where it's expected. I'm talking about the kinds of computers that are comparable to gaming PCs that drafters use that you technically could get away with building on your own. There's a decent amount of professions that you can be in that same spot in making money with a computer. And you should always choose the prebuilt just for the opportunity to pay for next-day support.
>>
>>683505240
I bought a prebuilt from Best Buy. It's solid. $1,200 bucks. Plays anything on max settings. That was a couple years ago. I could have probably built it for less, but not by much. I'd maybe save $100-$200. That's worth it for the convenience. Shopping for computer parts is a hassle, no matter what your average /g/ user insists about part picking websites. The prebuilt came fast, and at no effort.

>>683536773

I keep considering wiping it and giving it to my mom and taking my old desktop back, but I've built a much better system since then and wouldn't want to put her out.

I had twins, and same. The only time my gaming time got cut way down was during the first 6 months or so, since I was constantly either at work, feeding them, or keeping an eye on them. Now they're about 2 and a half, and they self entertain well enough that I basically just have to turn around every now and then to check diapers, make sure they aren't building a bomb, or trying to torment the dog, and go back to gaming.

I've only ever had two PSU failures in almost 20 years. One was because the new GPU I ordered was overdrawing the dinky trash rescue PSU I was using, and the other was a well worn 850W modular PSU from some no-name company that doesn't exist anymore that lasted for over 10 years before finally just crapping out one day. I miss that Xion PSU. Amazingly, the 1100W I put in my wife's machine is still going strong.

Not a bad way to do it. When I was a teen, I tried transplanting the parts from my old Dell Dimension into a new case and fried the mobo(I didn't know about proper static discharge control). One of my dad's coworkers threw some old parts of his into the case for me, charged me a hundred bucks, and I got bit with the PC building bug super hard. Was a sweet system for the time. GT 6200 and an Athlon.

I grabbed the RX 6800 late last year and I've been exceptionally pleased with it. I chose it over the XT version because I wanted the 16 GB of VRAM, since so many games are asking for more than just the typical 8 GB that had been halfway standard for a while.

It amazes me still how well we standardized PC parts, and how even if you slap things together suboptimally you'll still end up with a working machine, even if you might not get the full power out of every part.
>>
>>683505240
depends on price, if it's a cheapo $300 shitbox on clearance it's better than building part-by-part
otherwise it's stupid, building yourself is simply cheaper

Honestly the biggest barrier to PC building is that there's a ton of misinformation from fanboys of certain brands, people who think an expensive PC is a status symbol, autists who think you need to min-max every possible parameter and retards who think anecdotal experiences are representative of every single product that comes out of a factory. So I'm not surprised that people just think it's too much hassle and get prebuilts instead even though building PCs is incredibly simple and much cheaper.
>>
>>683507602
>foreplay

>>683505584
DIY is more expensive because you pick known quality components.
Prebuilt always try to cheap out by conveniently leaving out the brand of the mystery meats that are PSU/SSD/RAM/case.
>>
>>683560557
Yeah, unfortunately. I get that the 4090 is an incredible achievement of processing power. You do not need a 2000 dollar GPU to enjoy PC gaming, nor do you need (or should you want) a 3500 dollar Threadripper CPU for gaming. I try to point people at sites like pcpartpicker, explain some of the terminology, then guide them through building the machine. Honestly, it's dead simple compared to some of the rat's nest wiring I deal with professionally. I'm hoping that the big company I deal with for high speed doors is going to switch to a molex connector of some kind for their next GUI, because trying to screw down 24 gauge stranded wire on a tiny, insanely expensive control board sucks.

Prebuilts are always shit because they focus their advertisement and marketing on CPU/GPU and skimp out on everything else, they often don't even tell you what motherboard they use and what are the stats of its ram and practically every single prebuilt in existence comes with atrocious thermals on top, not even mentioning that 100% of the time they use some dogshit Chinese fire hazard PSU. You won't even know what's inside of it most of the time and there are plenty of losing combinations that "prebuilts on sale" have that will end up costing you a lot more long term.

How do you "concentrate" on getting stimulated by a worn-out flesh hallway? Just get a woman with a tighter pussy. All my past relationships had the same issue that sex wasn't fulfilling because they was used up by her ex boyfriends. I always thought my dick was just tiny. I was stupid and didn't know any better. My current gf is super tight despite being almost 4 inches taller than me because she was an actual virgin when we met, hymen and all. Sex feels so fucking good now that we both cum instantly.

A prebuilt almost never has a full list of its components, at most they will tell you what GPU/CPU they use and maybe one sponsored component, like a cooler or motherboard. The market for prebuilts now exists for companies to sell off GPU's with trash attached to them as "tax" for retards.

Yeah I work doing marketing for a PC store and I can't believe the overpriced shit I'm forced to advertise with prebuilts, yeah the "high end" ones tend to be 4060.

I can't believe anyone would fall for that when they can simply google computers and instantly see we're trying to scam them.

Always buy prebuilt. Time is worth more than money. You can always buy another computer, but you can't buy another year on this Earth. Building your own computer, even your own house, it's a complete waste of your limited hours. Pay someone else to do it so you can spend your time enjoying life.

this is years of wisdom I'm passing on here. I'm not just some guy. Listen to what I'm saying, or you'll wish you did when you're my age.

TIME > MONEY

BUY PREBUILT
SPEND MONEY
SAVE TIME

Only if you check the pricing.
Often you can get prebuilts with better hardware for less money, but you're still doing the same amount of research as building yourself.

They used to be shit, and deliberately made to be tech capped so you couldnt easily upgrade them, often had cut corners and were over priced, but when PC knowledge grew that business shrank and then people started offering actually good PCs, for decent prices, namely in the UK and EU at least. Few years later it got even better, with pretty much everywhere having someone selling good prebuilts for fair prices, by people who themselves game on PC and understand what is and isnt a good PC.
Most prebuilts are easily upgraded cheap, and arent capped by some retard MOBO

But then the "chip shortage" myth was created so they could jack the price of components up 2x and then never lower it even after the "chip shortage" was fixed, so now every PC has a +1000 to the cost arbitrarily.
