I recently bought a prebuilt gaming PC and its specs are really good. Why do people not like pc's from brands or prebuilt or whatever?

Is it just the fact that they're hard to upgrade?

Or it is just the same BS that PC gamers ply on consoles. There is no real stigmata. Just jerks that hate on people easily getting to play games.

Totoro, the voice of reason on the thread, said it best.

4 Years ago. Prebuilt gaming PCs are actually lowering in price and upping in quality now compared to 4 years ago, especially now that there's more of a market on it and competition is rising.

But it's still good to know how to build your own, you'd even get it cheaper if you did and you'd learn about exactly what goes into it and how things should run.

Because PC gaming is full of elitist wankers. I didn't build my own vacuum cleaner either, so what?

Used to always build my own way back when, but these days I've got stuff to do, and as much as I like having a PC that can play games, PC hardware is seriously the most boring thing in the universe. No way I'm spending loads of time keeping up with which parts are best when I can find a place who builds them and customise a couple of things that really stand out if I need to.

some prebuilt brands are cheap in quality but expensive.

some are good but you still kind of pay for the brand name , I have one since nearly 6 years and it still kind of work well for a computer not specifically built for gaming.

i do not hate pre-built PCs.
my first 2 PCs were prebuilts: a pentium 166mhz mmx and an intel celeron 1.7ghz.

it depends on know how, availability of stores/components/time, and willing to do the work.

Some builds even offer overclocking, but a smart shopper ordering compatible parts is going to have more options and could get a better performing machine at a lower cost.

Shipping might make all the difference if you aren't picking the PC up from a business yourself.

Not only are they usually pricey, but they tend to come with underwhelming components.

Investing the time and energy to build one from scratch is so much more rewarding honestly.

People just want to mock up those who can't "build" a PC.

Elitism.

Yes it's a bit more expensive but what would you expect ? You're paying labor fees to build your PC.

I bought pre-built system like 12 years ago and sides from upgrading RAM GPU and adding an extra two hdds it's as is from when i got it, same PSU and all and the OS drive is still going ok.
