I have been thinking of building a pc for a while now. I have a price range of about $950 - $1050.
I was wondering what the price difference would be from building a pc and buying it from IBP. If someone could tell me the pros and cons of either decision that would be great. Thank You

The easiest way to figure this out, would be to find out what you can get for your budget, then see how much a comparable system would cost from IBP. Some cons with going like a place like IBP would be that they don't always use high quality PSUs, you have to go through them for any problems, which may or may not be more of a hassle than going through individual part venders, and (the biggest con of all) you don't get the pleasure of building it yourself.

Building your own is more fun!!!

If u wanna check value, pick a system yo interested in and then put the listed parts together on pcpartpicker.com - u will likely find u will make a saving by building yourself, but not a dramatic one, since the margins on PC sales are very tight
