Save on prebuilt PCs that are actually good
Assuming I’m too late to convince you to tryingbuilding a PCyourself – and sinceBlack Fridayhas arrived, I’ll assume I am – you might also well get to choose from only the best Black Friday gaming PC deals. One of the benefits of a DIY build is that it works out cheaper than an equivalently-specced prebuilt rig, but when you can save big on the latter in these sales, that advantage is reduced – if not nullified completely.
That said, I’d stillenthusiasticallyrecommend you only buy a gaming PC with completely modular, off-the-shelf components. A lot of the major PC and laptop manufacturers, like Alienware, MSI, and Acer, sometimes use proprietary case and motherboard designs that make it difficult to upgrade in the future – railroading you into buying a whole new system instead. By contrast, smaller, dedicated PC-building outfits (like PC Specialist, Scan, Overclockers UK, or CyberPower PC) use the same components that a home DIY build would involve. As a result, they’re much easier to modify and upgrade in the future, which is both convenient and easier to do than constructing the entire thing.
