Always build your own… forget all the loaded crap they send with built assembly line PCs.
I was always an AMD fan. Couldn’t ever really seem to beat the bang for the buck. The friends were always on me about Intel but I’d still kick their asses in CSGO with my “toaster” according to them. It’s been a while since I’ve kept up with the company’s as I haven’t gamed seriously in years now bu it’s always rewarding building your own no matter what direction you go.
I’ve built my last two computers First one I built in 2010. Was a real work horse and is still being used to this day with just a few upgrades over the years. Its now more of a net surfer for the garage. The one I’m on now does everything I need it to and is easily upgradable. You’ll thank yourself and everyone else reccomending it later! haha
Good luck!
