Anybody who buys prebuilt might as well buy a Mac
But even the Minis are so damn expensive! I'd rather look at a Hackintosh at that point.

Better to buy pre built or should I build my own?

Hey looking to buy/build a budget gaming pc, my budget is around 7-8k, would it be better to buy something like this http://www.evetech.co.za/Computer-s...e-hd-7770-dx11-custom-built-gaming-pc-80.aspx Or would it be better to build my own, if so please suggest a build for this price range
Hey Wikkels,
I've built bought and built PCs mostly for gaming; I recommend if you have the patience and the drive to get the most out of your money there's nothing more satisfying than building your own PC. Having knowledge of exactly what's going on inside your build as opposed to someone else doing it doesn't make me feel good. If you decide to go this route now or in the future don't put all your eggs in one basket, shop around some components are cheaper with different suppliers. (Sybaritic, Wootware, Pheonix Tech SA, Landmark PC, Behemoth Technology)
The Evetech build is good. Good choice to bump up with the R7 260x. PSU I would only put 80plus bronze into any build of my builds, good reliable power delivery is very important for the life of the all your other components.
Do your own research and watch loads of videos its so much fun.
