CUSTOM-BUILT COMPUTERS
Why buy a custom-built PC? What are the advantages over one that is already built from a computer store or manufacturer? At the onset, it may appear that custom-built PCs would cost you more and you would need to have a clear understanding of the internal workings of a computer system. But contrary to this, selecting your components meticulously will give you a much higher performance ratio. Customers normally believe that when they purchase a computer product from a popular manufacturer it will be more reliable as well as trustworthy but it has been found that those computers which are custom-built provide better results at a lower price.
Custom computers and their parts will last longer while meeting all your needs. Also, it gives you the benefit of finding spare parts and it's really easy to upgrade. In addition, you are never restricted to a single manufacturer and your components come with individual warranties. Usually, it's much cheaper too. Here's a website that shows this point: https://www.techspot.com/article/2101-500-dollar-gaming-pc/
This list is recommendations only. I DO NOT sell these PCs. I only build them. Buy every component on this list on Newegg or Amazon or wherever and bring them to me and I will assemble your PC for 100$ (140$ with CPU cooler) Windows 10 or 11 license included. If you don't buy the components that I suggest, I can't guarantee the compatibility and the quality of the PC and I charge 120$ instead.
