Hello everyone
I have been thinking with a while about either buying or building my first gaming pc, I have never had one before just consoles. I was looking into buying one that is fairly good but not mad expensive. Every thing I have looked at for around 4 of 5 hundred euro people seem to say the suppliers make it sound great but is actually shit and it's possible to build one myself for around the same money that would be better, I have never before even looked into a computer so what do ye guys think is it possible to build one myself or am I wasting my time, and if it is where would a fella look for parts. Any help would be great
Thanks so much
James

cheaper prebuild -> better on paper specs, but cut on ram/mb/psu/case/storage quality
build your own -> better components, but may be not cheap, also may need trouble shooting
I will pick latter.

That's great thanks very much for your help when you say may need trouble shooting how do you mean. When it comes to putting it all together is it straight forward enough
