Advantages of putting a PC together by yourself

Here is a clear guide on the advantages of putting a PC together by yoursef:

1. Customizabile
- This sounds obvious, but it is important to realize that you can choose what goes into your system. You can select what you need and leave out the stuff that you don't need.

2. Quality
- Many pre-built systems don't have the quality of graphics card, sound card, etc. that you are looking for. Building your own PC allows you to choose the best configuration.

3. Price
- You can shop around at different places to find the best deal for each part.

4. Learning
- It is fun and educational to build your computer. You know what goes in, so you know where the problems might arise. It's nice knowing that you put something together.

5. Upgradable
- Many pre-built systems lock or seal the cases so that you can't open them without voiding the warranty. If you build your own, you can change whatever you want and when you want.
