Build it your self and have a lot fewer upgrades from the motherboard manufacturer.

It doesn't work, a brand name offers support to help:
Even if isn't the best or in a third world country some support beats no support.

I could go on and on, but think you get the idea.



If you know what you are doing, then you build your own machine, and it's easy enough to keep up on all of those things. But that's just me.

Plus I can build a better machine, with higher end parts for the same or less money than a subpar system off the rack somewhere else.

I too could go on and on about why you should build your own if you know what you are doing, or want to research it.
