In our world of unparalleled inter-connectivity, a properly running computer is more than ideal, it’s required! Hearing this, the layman’s first instinct would be to head over to the nearest electronics store and pick up the most impressive looking rig they could find. Well we’re here to tell you to fight that instinct and hear us out when we say a custom built PC is the perfect choice for first time buyers and veterans alike!

That’s right, even less experienced computer users can benefit from a custom built PC because it’s exactly that, custom built for you and you alone. Read on for 3 of the most important reasons we feel custom built computer towers are the way to go no matter the purpose for their construction.

Superior Performance for the Price

When it comes to computers, performance is all that matters and custom rigs run absolute circles around prefabricated models! The reason this is the case is because you know better than anyone what you need a new computer for. Commonly, pre-built rigs are sold at exorbitant prices because one or two parts of the computer, such as the graphics card or processor, is more expensive. You may, however, find that you don’t need a powerful graphics card for what you plan to use your PC for. That being said, when building your own computer, you get to choose your budget and how much of that budget gets put towards each component of your computer! In short, you get the best bang for your buck and a computer tailor made to handle the tasks you perform daily.

Better Warranties

As convenient as they may be, computers are still complex pieces of machinery and can breakdown for a number of reasons. Naturally, keeping your computer properly insured and protected is essential to avoid sudden malfunctions that serve to ruin your productivity. The problem here is that most pre-built computers only come with a year, maybe two year, warranty tops. Not a lot of leeway for a tool as essential as your PC!

When building your own computer however, warranties come standard with every piece you buy! Higher end parts can come with 5 year warranties or even lifetime warranties depending on where you shop! The benefit of this, aside from the obviously longer warranties, is that, should something break, you only need to send back the one misbehaving part instead of your entire computer.

Upgrades

If you’ve ever known a person with their own custom PC, you’ve probably seen the look of excitement on their face whenever a new graphics card hits the market! That’s because custom built computer towers have room for replacing parts with stronger, higher end models. This ability to upgrade whenever you feel your computer has begun to slow down is what makes custom rigs so appealing to many of us. You get to choose when your computer kicks the bucket, not the market!

Compare that with pre-built computers and their tendency to use slim cases that sacrifice practicality and room for upgrades for form factor, and it’s easy to see why a custom setup takes the cake.

Conclusion

Of course, building a custom computer takes a little bit of research and a more in-depth understanding of what you want out of a PC. While this may be the case, it’s never a bad idea to familiarize yourself with computers and their function when we as a society are so dependent on them. Furthermore, all of this research will invariably pay off exponentially when you finally set up that tailor made computer you were able to make on a budget that meets all of your specific needs!
