Custom Gaming Computers: How to Build an Affordable PC

If you've never built or customized your own PC before, it can be a difficult task.  Even if you have built your own PC, components are always changing as technology advances, and it can be difficult to keep up with the constant updates in hardware.  There are many companies willing to help you build your own computer - or even let you pick what parts you want and then put them together for you. Two popular gaming PC retailers are iBUYPOWER and Cyberpower PCs, but even Dell and HP offer customization options for computers.  If you do research ahead of time to know what video card, processor, hard drive(s), and motherboard you want, you can get a good price through Dell, usually. However, these companies also charge tax and shipping.  Amazon.com offers pre-built computers that often have free super saver shipping options and they do not charge tax if you order directly from Amazon.  Ebay is also a good resource for finding pre-built PCs at an affordable rate. It
ultimately comes down to how important customization is for you.  Once you have your PC, you can manually upgrade, but that'll be more hassle than getting a PC that has the components you want in it already.  If it's very important to choose your individual parts and you don't mind paying shipping and tax, opting for iBUYPOWER or Dell is a good bet.  iBUYPOWER specializes in gaming PCs, and frequently has deals on many of their gaming computers. Before you actually go about selecting a PC on any of these sites, it pays to research individual parts so you know what you're looking for.  For example, if you want high quality sound, you'll want a decent set of speakers/subwoofer and a top quality sound card.  If you plan to use your computer for high end gaming, a good video card is essential. Be sure to research hardware so you know what parts will best fit your needs and can make an educated selection on your custom gaming computer.
