I have given up on building my own Pc. The risk of losing money it is simply too high and there are no warranties. If I mess something up, I'm on my own. I'm a noob who simply wants to plug and plays games.

What are the best companies that make pre-built gaming PCs? Asus? Lenovo? Acer?

I guess I could also hire the services of someone who could build the PC for me, but even then, I don't there will be any warranties. I would need to find someone who is really good and offer lifetime warranties on all his builds, meaning if something goes bad, he will repair it at no cost. There are many custom builders on craiglist, but you don't know who to trust.

True no one, it doesnt matter who it is will offer a lifetime warranty on the parts.

Components will fail sooner or later.

If I built something for someone and it died 3 yrs later, that's not my prob. It was going when I built it 3 years ago.

If they want me to fix it, they'll have to pay for it. It wont be free.

Why did you say "or"? Memory sticks = flash memory, period.

Well, you said it like memory sticks wouldn't be a flash memory. I haven't seen a memory stick with platters like HDD's. Have my upvote for "because I can" :)

If you buy a prebuilt PC,
1) check what power supply and motherboard they are using. This is where many companies use the lowest spec parts they can get away with.
2) go with someone who gives you the actual OE windows disk and separate drivers. If you just have a restore disk, it makes it more difficult to upgrade and repair your PC in the future.
3) beware of add-on options. For example, Dell give you an option for more memory and storage, but the price they charge is double what the extra parts actually cost

I don't buy pre-built systems, custom or otherwise but I can say that Digital Storm was a sponsor of Tom's Free-Sync Vs. G-Sync event last fall. They put together the systems that we blind-tested on. The internet is full of reviews to argue for either side of a position. Read the worst & read the best..... the answer is likely somewhere in the middle.
