I have been asking myself this for at least 4 months, whther or not I should build mt own PC or buy from CyberPowerPC? I've never built a computer before and the parts I want are pretty expesive and I don't want to mess them up at all that is why I am leaning towards going through CyberPower. But I put together the list of parts I want and added the total up and it is much cheaper, please I need constructive help. Any comments or suggestions are welcome, I just need to know what to do.
