Components or Prebuild In a Gaming PC???

Moodle · 21 Apr 2011 at 16:44

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if I were to use this
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=43&catid=1951
would it be the same value as if I build my own?
I want to spend around £1100 on a great gaming PC and was wondering if you could give me the options you would choose in either the pre-built system or the components to build one your self .
Thanks.

It will cost you slightly more to let OCUK build it, however your gaurenteed that it will work and you wont need to RMA parts.

If you arent sure how to overclock yourself and that is something you would want in your system then an OCUK prebuilt and OCd might be an idea.

I personally prefer to build mine because on a budget the extra £100ish can be used to up a component such as graphics card etc.

You could look toward a bundle which does the more nerve shredding part of a build (I now find this bit the most exciting) and they will overclock it for you.

If you build it your self you can save quite a bit. Think I saved about £100 by doing it myself
