Should I buy a barebones kit for a gaming pc or buy each part?
Last response: in Systems
Hello,
I am looking to get a gaming pc that can play most current games fairly well (although I don't need like everything HD to the max and every pixel perfect, I just want smoothness) but isn't too expensive. My question is, should I buy a TigerDirect gaming PC, (The two I was looking at are http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite... and http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/ite... the only difference I can spot is the processor, but so comment on that too idk what difference it would make for gaming), or should I buy each part separately and assemble it that way? Would there be a difference in cost? Is it easier to do piece by piece (I know that is essentially what barebones is but maybe you can get better parts piece by piece than just one barebones). So what are the benefits of each? Please help me make my decision. Oh and my budget is about $700-$800. Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
P.S. A new thread I posted that might be more helpful and give you a better idea of what I'm looking for http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/355419-31-blank-slate...
Your time is valued, thank you!

Like I said my knowledge is limited, I was just browsing the TigerDirect i7 Barebones kits. I was unaware they didn't include a GPU or etc. From what I gather it's better to just buy parts?
