Prebuilt PC

[Setsu]

So I'm planning to get a new PC soon and my budget is about $700-$800, and I'm currently looking at three per-built pc from CanadaComputers...

Are they worth the price? Or should I just make my own? I want to play the latest games like Battlefield 3 and C9

If you want to go prebuilt get this one: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=7_121&item_id=046081

But it's still better to build your own.

The first one seems to be the best.

Here is the price though if you build it from scratch:

I'm assuming though that they chose the better quality parts. Most likely not. Probably more of the basic stuff. Basically, you pay $100 extra for them to build it for you.

You can easily build an equally performing PC for about 500 - 550 (some of the choices they made are not optimal).
