What is the best site for buying a premade custom pc?
85 replies, posted
The hardest part is choosing the parts and getting the best for your money, and that is why there is a PC building section, where people can choose parts for you if you don't know enough.
All the cables you will need will come with the motherboard, unless it is an OEM, for most components, such as the processor, graphics card and motherboard, you will want retail, but the rest are fine (and cheaper) to get as OEM.
I would just like to point out, this is pc building, not where do i get a pre built pc
My cousin used ibuypower.com after I kept telling him I'd build him one cheaper. The funny thing is, the computer came out more expensive on newegg. So althought I'd recommend building your own, ibuypower.com is pretty decent
Also when I buy the parts do I need anything to assemble it other than screw drivers? Like in one vid they used some gel on some part I think the processor
Nope.
All you need is a screwdriver.
The gel was thermal paste, which you only really need if you're getting an aftermarket heatsink.
[QUOTE=Case-Sensitive;15974083]Because I don't know what I'm doing? Really heres a main issue that scares me if I plan on building one: things may not fit like graphics card or power supply, not matching components to function properly, and really PCs look like a mess when building. If I can over come these fears then hell I would make a very nice pc.[/QUOTE]
Well then make this your first one. Hands-on is the best way to learn

That's about 800 posts per month.
I've been on FP for about 10 months total.
In that time, across 4 accounts, I've accumulated at least 10,000 posts.
There are some people whom I've seen with over 150 posts per day.

I've had some 500+ days.
I don't think I've ever gone over 25.
I love seeing 05'ers with < 100 posts.

Well the website was having a 5% off and free shipping sale thing. and for some reason it had no tax. So newegg actually had a more expensive price that time. He got lucky I guess.
He probably also chose some really shit parts.
I checked it out for him, it didn't seem shitty. I personally looked at all the parts that he had 'assembled' for him and the price came out more because of shipping and tax on newegg.
Really?
You didn't include one of the shitty PSUs or crappy NZXT cases?
He got a nice corsair PSU and the HAF full tower. I was really surprised.
Color me surprised.
Yeah seriously. But I think it was during a certain time when they were having a sale of some sort. With as I said, 5% off and free shipping
Yeah, otherwise Newegg would have been cheaper.
