You should just have me build it for you and ship it to you :p  I'll charge you a small donation for my time.

A $600 pre-built is going to be trash, literally a throwaway computer you would find at Walmart that can barely play flash games.

A $600 custom built can be good. My main PC is barely $600.

Prebuild is not trash.
They focus on reliability instead of extreme performance.
They actually have warranty instead of having to diagnostic yourself.

I guess you never worked in a computer repair shop :D 

Every component has a warranty.

Yes i know, except you have to find which one is faulty before returning the faulty part.
Prebuild, U just dump the whole pc and let the tech do their job.

Or you could just ask someone on THW to help you T/S. I've probably saved forums members here at least $20,000 in shipping. God knows how much money someone like Blackbird has saved the forum.

You still havent explained why prebuilds are trash.
Some people wants to deal with pc problem themselves, others do not.
PS: do u even have any idea how much stuff you can ship with 20000$?

And also plz define trash.

It will cost you about $100 to ship your WHOLE PC back for an RMA. I have over 200 best answers. Do the math.

Good luck with that with your Dell/HP after 30 days. Obviously you are new to the RMA procedure.

BTW he already PM'd me about building a rig.

To validate your point. Prove to me that I'm an idiot by finding a $600 pre-built that even you would use.
